Chapter 323: The Price
"There's a little bit of trouble with the film crew. ”
Hearing this, Han Qiu's slightly drunken drunkenness disappeared at once.
Troublesome?
"Sorry for the mistake. Han Qiu shook the phone in his hand and said apologetically.
Chris nodded, "Please." ”
Leaving his seat, Han Qiu slipped into the toilet and asked, "What the hell happened?"
"When the brothers of a couple of film crews went to film, they were detained. Xiao Zhang said truthfully, "The other party detained both man and machine and asked us to take money to ransom us." ”
"What?" Han Qiu's face instantly became gloomy, "Where did they go to film?"
"A bar. Xiao Zhang sighed, "I don't know how they ended up in other people's hands." I found out when the other party called. ”
"Damn, didn't you say be careful when you go out? This is Africa, not China!"
Hearing this, Xiao Zhang was also speechless, and in the final analysis, he was not responsible for this matter. "Director Han, what now?"
"Did you call the police?" When encountering this kind of thing, Han Qiu's first thought was the police.
"Not yet, I'll ask your opinion first. Xiao Zhang hesitated for a moment and said, "However, the other party warned us that it was best not to call the police." He said it was our people who got into trouble first. ”
"Damn, these people are so arrogant?"
"It seems to be a local gangster. ”
Hearing the words of the gangsters, the helplessness on Han Qiu's face became even stronger.
The strong dragon can't overpower the ground snake.
Besides, he's not a strong dragon, just a director. It is estimated that the police rescued the person, and it will not be easy to film in the future.
This is secondly, what Han Qiu is most afraid of is that these people have a relationship with the local police, and when they call the police, it will really outweigh the losses.
Let's see what happens. Thinking of this, Han Qiu asked, "What are the other party's conditions?"
"100,000 US dollars, take the money and release it. ”
Lakh?
One hundred thousand words, Han Qiu could still bear it, and he asked, "When?"
"As long as we take the money to go to the bar, they release people. ”
"Okay, you wait for me at the hotel, and we'll go over later. Also, don't talk about this to the crew, don't make people panic. ”
"Well, I know. ”
"Okay, wait for my call. ”
Hanging up the phone, Han Qiu rubbed his head with a headache, he had only been here for a day or two, and he was in such a big trouble. Sure enough, Africa is not a good place.
Back in his seat, Han Qiu saw Chris, who had a calm face, and the anxiety and depression in his heart suddenly decreased a lot, and he didn't know if he was infected by Chris's calm appearance.
"Sorry, Chris, I think I'm leaving. Han Qiu said, "There is a little trouble on the crew's side, and I need to solve it." ”
Chris asked, "Do you need my help? I know a lot of people in Rabat. ”
"No need, it's just a little trouble. Han Qiu waved his hand and refused, he was just a Catholic, how much could he help himself?
As he spoke, Han Qiu left a business card, "This is my phone number, if you want to come to acting, I can arrange a role for you." After saying that, Han Qiu hurriedly left under Chris's flat gaze.
Chris was silent, tilting his head to look out the window, watching Han Qiu's figure disappear into the crowd.
Suddenly, in the seat next to him, a large black man stood up and sat down across from him.
"The leader of the African leopards has surrendered, and the underground gangs of Rabat have all been taken over by us. ”
"Good job. Chris nodded slightly, calmly as if unifying the underground underworld was not something to be proud of.
"Who was that?"
Hearing this, Chris stared coldly at the big black man, "This is not a question you should ask. ”
"Yes. The big black man's head immediately lowered, and sweat oozed from his forehead.
He knew very well how terrifying the seemingly gentle middle-aged man in front of him was, and it was not enough to describe how careless human life and killing people without blinking. When facing the other party, he could only lower his head as much as possible.
Even if he personally unified the underground gangs of Rabat.
"The organization's action is still a month away, so you can prepare early," Chris said. ”
"Understood. ”
"One more thing, help me find out what his 'trouble' is. ”
Although Chris did not clearly specify who "he" was, the black man knew in his heart that it should be the Chinese man who left just now.
"Good. He replied.
"Well, let's do it early. Chris stood up and prepared to leave. Before leaving, he added, "His name is Han Qiu, is it...... My friend!"
The black man was shocked, Chris's friend, God, this Chinese man has a big heart.
......
Morocco is flanked by the sea, and when rain clouds with moisture from the Atlantic and Mediterranean oceans are brought in, many smugglers are also stowaways.
Africa is not only a paradise for mercenaries, but also a paradise for stowaways. Here, there are so many nameless and penniless people. Sometimes when a person dies, no one may know his real name.
Even Rabat, the capital, has too many gray areas.
At this moment, in the city of Rabat, in a bar called Rattlesnake. It's only approaching evening, there are no customers, and the shop looks empty.
However, in a box on the second floor, there were quite a few people. Among them, the three yellow-skinned youths are even more eye-catching.
The three of them are naturally the people of the Han Qiu crew.
According to Han Qiu's instructions, the three of them came out to shoot together. I happened to pass by this bar, so they took pictures around the bar. But it's so good that they can't die, when filming, they came across a violent shot of a group of big men beating another person in an alley.
Thinking about it, they turned around and ran away three times, grandma's, she is not a brave hero. And this style of painting doesn't look like someone was robbed or something.
However, they didn't know each other well, and they were still caught running and running. Moreover, the three of them also have cameras on them. So, subconsciously, these blacks thought they had just been photographed.
The three of them really wanted to cry without tears, and the brothers were just passing by, and they didn't shoot anything. It's a pity that people don't believe this, so they confiscate the camera and ask them to call and ask someone to get it.
In desperation, they had no choice but to call for help to the crew.
That's how it happened, who is to blame? They can only blame their bad luck.
Because behind this bar, there is the African leopard that has just surrendered. Nick, the boss of the African leopard, was still on fire because of this, and he was so good at mixing it up, and suddenly a bunch of villains with guns appeared, and he almost brought his lair to his lair.
Why don't you surrender and die?
Originally, Nick didn't believe it, and it wasn't until people killed four of his henchmen in a row in front of him that he honestly surrendered. He was scared, people killed people like drinking water, and he didn't even blink his eyes, how could he not be afraid?
In modern society, the power of a gun is still greater than that of a fist.
Then his African leopard was almost taken over, and he went from being the boss to the oldest.
These days, Nick is really aggrieved. Now that he has met three Chinese people "secretly shooting", he really even has the heart to kill. However, considering that they were foreigners and had a bad impact, he didn't dare to do it.
In the private room, the three of them sat on the sofa lively, and there were a few bottles of wine on the table in front of them.
So Nick wasn't afraid of people calling the police, and he didn't do anything to them, and besides, the police still had their own people.
"Are you from Huaxia?" Nick asked, sitting across from the three of them, in English.
"Hmm. ”
"I heard you're here to film?" Nick investigated, and he also knew that a crew had recently come to Rabat, and I heard that there were Hollywood stars. This kind of battle can't hide from his eyes.
"Hmm. Since everyone knows it, they can only nod honestly.
"You said you would shoot a film, what are you doing on my turf?"
"We didn't shoot you, it was just a misunderstanding. ”
Nick shook his head: "On my turf, there is no misunderstanding. You must pay for your actions. ”
Three: "........"
At this moment, a big man came up and whispered in Nick's ear, "Their people are here." ”
"Let people come. ”
A moment later, Han Qiu and Xiao Zhang walked into the private room. When Nick saw someone coming, he didn't get up, waved his hand to the sofa, and said lightly, "Please take a seat." ”
Han Qiu didn't sit down, but first looked at the three young men in the film crew with concern and asked, "Are you all right?"
"It's fine. ”
"It's good that they didn't treat us badly. ”
"Director Han, I'm sorry for causing you trouble. ”
Han Qiu breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the person is okay, everything else is easy to say.
"Rest assured, we treat them as guests. Nick smiled, "You're their director, Han Qiu, right?" ”
Han Qiu nodded: "Well, I am." I brought the money, let it go. ”
To be honest, Han Qiu looked at the big black men standing around him, and he was still a little worried in his heart. But there was no way, for the sake of "peace", he could only stay hard.
Hearing this, Nick was not in a hurry, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's all here, let's have a few drinks first." He beckoned to his subordinates: "Go get two bottles of vodka." ”
Han Qiu shook his head: "Don't bother. ”
"Don't worry, man, I'm in for a treat. Don't you Chinese people like to talk about things while drinking?"
Han Qiu insisted: "Forget it, and didn't this matter be discussed a long time ago?"
Nick denied: "Who said it was already negotiated?"
Han Qiu's eyes lit up: "Do you want to regret it?"
"Did I say I regretted it? You only brought the ransom money, but you didn't bring the money for filming. Nick smiled coldly, revealing his greedy "fangs": "Filming in Rabat, if you don't pay a little price, I think your crew may be in trouble!"
