After watching the gang leave, Donald looked back at the chaos in the room, waved his hand and beckoned, "Quick, we must leave quickly, judging from the situation just now, it should be two gangs fighting, and the matter will definitely not end so soon." Donald said as he walked briskly over to get all three of Percy out of the house as quickly as he crouched down in front of the house's hostess, and said in Portuguese, "Sorry for the confusion we caused, and thank you for lending us the house to take shelter from." ”

With that, Donald pulled out three of the remaining dollars in his hand and stuffed them into the middle-aged woman's hand. The middle-aged woman seemed to want to excuse herself, but Donald shook her head firmly, and then stood up and turned away without giving the other party room to refuse.

Donald found that Lance was still standing at the door waiting for him, and patted Lance on the shoulder, indicating that he had already arranged everything and could leave along with him. But Lance didn't move, and when he looked back, Donald saw that Lance's gaze was looking towards the room on his left. He knew that the children were hiding in that house.

At this time, the children hiding in the house came out one after another, there were six in total, plus the young girl holding the rag doll, it was seven. However, Lance did not see the man in this family, and he didn't know if he was out to work or if there was something else.

Lance's gaze stayed on the boy, who had just covered the little one's mouth and blocked the sound of crying. The boy was wearing an off-white striped T-shirt, his eyes were clear but with a hint of restraint, and he secretly looked at Lance a little jerkyly, but did not make any further moves, just blocked a few younger siblings behind him.

"Next Monday, there will be an application for a short-term job at the Atlantic Hotel, if you are interested, you can go and check it out."

Lance's voice broke the silence in the room, and the eyes stared blankly at Lance, including the boy. However, Lance did not continue to explain, and after saying that, he turned around, patted Donald's arm, and walked straight away.

Walking out of the house, the streets and playground outside were calm again. A group of children reappeared on the playground chasing a soccer ball, several women were dressed in dirty clothes and were ready to wash in pairs, and old people with closed eyes on the side of the road were enjoying the sunbathing peacefully...... It was so peaceful, so normal, as if the chaotic shootout had never happened at all. All of them are so taken for granted.

Such a scene makes people feel like they are in a different world, but there is also a chilling shock.

Donald paused at the doorway for a moment, looked at everyone in the room in confusion, and then quickly caught up with Lance, "What's going on?" ”

"I just thought there was a role that was perfect for that boy." Lance turned his gaze away from the people around him who had returned to their daily routines, and replied simply, without saying what he really thought. Perhaps it would be more useful to give the boy a job, a chance to observe the outside world, than to give the family a sum of money, and Lance saw in those eyes the clarity that had not been polluted by the slum. "Still, let's see if he has the guts to show up at the audition."

Donald was not qualified to intervene in the casting of actors, so he didn't plan to ask more, nodded and understood, "So, do you still insist on planning to start filming in the City of God?" ”

Lance shook his head, "Every day we have to face the danger that the shoot can be interrupted, the loss is too great, we don't have so much budget. Donald was stunned by one sentence, he vaguely sensed that something was wrong with this sentence, but he couldn't say why, "Donald? ”

Awakened by the voice, Donald turned to look at Lance, indicating that he had regained his attention, and Lance had to repeat his words, "As far as I know, there are several slums near the City of God, right?" ”

Donald nodded, "There are three slums around here, which are much smaller than here, so it's not that chaotic or dangerous overall. ”

"Then let's go over and investigate now and see which location is more suitable." In order to ensure the authenticity of the film, the atmosphere and environment of the shooting site are very important. Since the City of God was too chaotic to shoot, it was impossible to shoot, so it was the next best thing.

The group left the City of God and headed for another slum just a street away, led by Donald.

After experiencing the struggle between life and death, the imminent danger deeply shocked everyone, and it was difficult to recover for a long time, even Donald was no exception. Although Donald is Brazilian, he has been active in the film industry for many years, and he is far from the lowest slum life, and after so many years of comfort, the feeling of hanging his head on his belt has become strange.

Except for Reims.

At least, Donald didn't see any flaws in Lance's expression. Lance seemed to quickly put the thrilling behind him and threw himself into the investigation of the next few slums, and the sparseness and composure between his eyebrows gave people the illusion that it was just a dream.

The rest of the expedition was a little silent, and even Albert's familiar words were closed, and for a moment it seemed as if everyone was practicing silence, and moved forward in silence. It's just that at the moment of need, Lance will take the initiative to step forward, ask the locals some information, and after getting the information he needs, he will fall silent again and continue to move forward.

It wasn't until sunset that they dragged their tired bodies back to the Atlantic Hotel, Lance looked at his sluggish companions and shook his head, "You guys go back and have a good rest first, today is just the beginning." ”

"Lance, you also know that today is only the first day, and the result has given us a shocking education." Albert was clearly still apprehensive, and said weakly.

"It seems that there are people who don't have the ability to do the job." It was not Lance who spoke, but Percy, who was standing next to him, and said with a calm face.

This made Albert angry, "Your cousin just now was no better!" ”

"At least I don't have legs that are too weak to walk." Percy showed no signs of weakness.

Hayden stood beside him and looked at Lance in dismay, but Lance didn't care at all, just turned around and left...... Looking at Lance who walked back to the room, and then at Albert and Percy, who were still arguing, Hayden decided to protect himself and quietly left this place of right and wrong.

Back in the room, Donald sat down with Lance to discuss, "So, have you decided?" Which ghetto to shoot in next? ”

There are three slums surrounding the City of God, one with a name and the other two without a name, but attached to the City of God. Lance felt that the first attached slum was very suitable, the whole environment, the atmosphere, and the feeling were very close to the City of God, but it was a little more deserted, many of the houses were still empty, unoccupied, and relatively safer, even with far fewer thieves.

This is a good thing for the crew.

However, Lance did not answer directly, but went to the bedside table to look for it, rummaged through a piece of chocolate left from the hotel room, and then walked to the sofa again and sat down, "No matter where I decide, the initiative is not mine, is it?" ”

Donald chuckled and asked, "That's something you should know before you prepared this movie, shouldn't it?" ”

Lance was noncommittal.

Filming in and around the City of God must be approved by **, otherwise it is impossible to start filming at all. Donald came to Rio de Janeiro ahead of time, and he has been busy with this matter, taking care of the government/government and ** channels to ensure that the filming of "City of God" can be completed smoothly.

Donald found a small, worn-out note from his pocket and handed it to Lance, "I wrote the English translation on the back, and many people say that my handwriting in Portuguese is indecipherable. Lance put the chocolate in his mouth, then opened the note and read it, Donald explained at the same time, "They need us to make a detailed charter, the daily shooting time, including the time when the vehicle enters the area they manage, and the time when it leaves, in order to avoid the occurrence of gangster robbery, the best time and route for the vehicle to move, can also be reported in advance." We have to keep updating these things two days in advance, and you need to find someone who is dedicated to this work. ”

Lance nodded his chin slightly, indicating understanding. That's why the crew needed Albert.

"Then, we plan to screen actors in the slums, and inevitably the real gangsters will be screened, so they will send people over and audition, and after the auditions, they will review and select the final extras. Including the actor's salary, working hours, etc., the contract needs to be drawn up in black and white......"

When Lance heard this, he raised his head in surprise, he didn't know that Brazil's ** attached so much importance to the law that he actually asked for a contract to be drawn up.

Donald smiled awkwardly, "Because they have group events every once in a while, and they need to make sure that there are numbers of people, and no one is absent, you know, for them, crowd tactics are very important." Lance couldn't help but be a little stunned, he really didn't expect that the real purpose behind the contract constraints was actually like this - worried that during the group event, the crew would not let go?

This...... It's really innovative.

Lance nodded, "That's what I want." Although I know that the contract has little binding power for them, ......" Lance shrugged, as if to say, "at least there is a psychological comfort", he put the note on the table, "the details, just wait for me to meet these big guys, and talk face to face." ”
