Chapter 4 Arriving at the destination

One day in early April, on a warm spring morning, Suzy, with the help of her agent, boarded the nanny car with a big suitcase and set off for Incheon International Airport.

In the car, the atmosphere was very dreary. Suzy was silent all the time, didn't speak, just raised her head and quietly looked at the scenery outside the window. The agent Yoo Hyun-jun was also preoccupied and sat in the co-pilot's seat. On the contrary, Lin Baolan, the assistant and costume makeup artist who followed Xiuzhi to Africa, looked excited, this is her first trip abroad, although the destination is poor Namibia, Africa, but it can be regarded as going abroad, isn't it? But excitement is excitement, as the protagonist and the protagonist of management, Suzy and Yoo Junxian, are mostly silent, how dare he, a little assistant, speak casually?

In this weird atmosphere, Suzy took out his phone and silently edited the text messages on it. She first sent a text message to her parents and younger brother to report her safety, and then sent a message to her relatives in the circle, explaining that she would go to Africa to shoot a show in the near future and return to Seoul after 2 weeks. In the end, Suzy found Xu Zixuan's number in the phone book.

"Zixuan oppa, I'm Xiuzhi. I'm going to shoot a variety show abroad today, and although that remote and mysterious place is very unsettling, I always remember the encouragement and comfort you gave me last time, and I hope to return to Seoul as soon as possible to eat your barbecue, fighting! ”

After sending it, Suzy pinched the phone in her hand, bit her lip stubbornly, and looked out the window again. For more than an hour, Suzy kept receiving replies from her relatives and mushrooms, most of which wished her a safe and smooth return. When the nanny car was about to arrive at the airport, Xiuzhi finally received a reply from Xu Zixuan.

"Girl, be brave. oppa grilled good Korean beef at xx barbecue restaurant is waiting for you to come back! ”

Although it was only a few words, it also made Suzy's restless heart relax a little. At the urging of the agent, Suzy pursed her lips and muttered, "Han Niu? When did you stink oppa so generous, see if I come back and don't eat you poor" Then, tidy up and get out of the nanny car.

According to the basic process of Korean variety shows, as long as there is a variety show with a plane itinerary, the camera starts to run from the airport. "Kim Byung-man's Law of the Jungle" is no exception, and as soon as Suzy got out of the car, her body-of-the-box cameraman came up and pointed the camera at her. In the airport waiting hall, the fixed MC had a simple meeting and exchange ceremony, and although the seniors of Kim Byung-wan, Rickykim, Huang Guangxu and Yoo Tan had already greeted them at the meeting, they still filmed the first meeting according to the instructions of the PD at the scene. After filming the departure shots, the artists entered the customs waiting room with their passports and documents, while the staff packed the equipment before entering the waiting area.

There are no direct flights from South Korea to Namibia, not even connecting flights. To fly from Seoul to Namibia, the fastest route is also three flights. So, after comprehensively considering issues such as ticket prices and language, the crew chose the route of Hong Kong and Johannesburg. After flying from Seoul to Hong Kong and staying at Hong Kong Airport for 3 hours, everyone boarded the flight from Hong Kong to Johannesburg non-stop. After more than ten hours of transoceanic flight, the crew arrived in Johannesburg, the capital of South Africa. After a short break and meal at the airport, the crew boarded the plane to Namibia again. Finally, 27 hours after leaving Seoul, the tired crew arrived at Windhoek International Airport, the capital of Namibia.

This kind of itinerary is unbearable even for an old media person like Park Youguang PD who has a rich overseas itinerary, let alone the rest of the crew. Standing on the ground of Windhoek Airport, Xiuzhi felt that her feet were like two sponge sticks, and she couldn't use any strength, if it weren't for Lin Baolan's support, it was estimated that she would be able to collapse on the ground immediately. And the African sun is indeed vicious, the strong sunlight ** shines on the skin of the human body, very burning and stinging, making Suzy feel that if he doesn't enter the house again, he will be burned.

A group of people finally arrived at the hotel they had booked in downtown Windhoek, and in addition to the necessary staff to sort out their equipment, the rest of the people, including the artists, immediately went to sleep and gathered their strength to prepare for tomorrow's shooting.

This night, Suzy slept in the dark, sleeping from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. before slowly opening her eyes. After washing, Suzy walks downstairs to the restaurant in her slippers to get ready for a bite to eat. When she arrived at the restaurant, she found that most of the rest of the crew were also eating here.

"Tomorrow morning, we will drive to our destination this time, Utapi. I just heard from the local tour guide that it will take at least 10 hours to get from here to Utapi, and after arriving at Utapi, we need to change trains again and drive for about 5 hours to reach the final destination" Park Youguang PD said while stuffing food into his mouth, "So, this dinner is the most sumptuous dinner you can eat in the past few days, don't waste it, let go of your belly and eat." Hey? Suzy is here, too, come on, come and sit here! ”

Suzy sat beside Park PD obediently, eating the sticky, weird-tasting food on the plate without saying a word.

"What, our team is worried?" Kim Byung-wan saw Suzy's expression and said deliberately jokingly.

"Nirvana oh no, no, there are Park PD and so many staff, and the seniors take care of me, I'm not worried!" Suzy struggled to squeeze out a smile.

"Haha, don't worry!" Jin Bing Wanhao smiled heartily, "When you get to the place, you can just stand next to us and cheer us on, and leave the rest of the dirty work to our men to do."

"Thank you, senior!" Suzy bowed slightly and accepted Kim Byung-wan's kindness.

Early the next morning, Suzy was woken up by the crew. Looking at the Korean time on her watch, Suzy thought it was only 4 o'clock in the morning, so she was ready to turn over and go back to sleep, but Lin Baolan did not give her this chance. After tidying up their personal hygiene, Suzy and Lim Baolan went to the hotel lobby and boarded the bus to Utappi.

After 10 hours of bumpy travel on a dirt road in Namibia, the bus finally stopped on the land of Utapi, a city in northern Namibia. Suzy forcibly held back the ** who was sick and vomited, and immediately ran to the toilet after getting out of the car, I have to say that JYP's worries are justified, and it is impossible for S**S not to consider the personal safety of the artist and the crew. Before leaving, S**S hired a security team of nearly ten people in Utapi through various connections to be responsible for the safety of the crew in the local area these days. According to the intermediary, these security guards are the best security personnel in the area. However, in Xiuzhi's eyes, these security guards who are as black as carbon, thin and similar to wooden sticks are compared to Xu Zixuan, it is simply a gap between heaven and earth. However, it is better to have more than a dozen people to follow than to fight alone, although the crew knew that s**s was deceived by the middleman after seeing these so-called security guards, but they were not familiar with the place in Utapi, and they couldn't find a suitable candidate for a while, and the green light in the eyes of these so-called security guards seemed to announce: If you don't hire us, we will make trouble for you So, the crew finally gritted their teeth and accepted their protection.

If the road from the capital Windhoek to Utapi can be called the county-level road of the Celestial Empire, then the road from Utapi to the filming destination - Cook Island (also known as Crocodile Island) can only be described as a field village road. Because the bus could not enter, the crew of nearly 50 people got into the off-road vehicle in batches and headed towards Cook Island in a bumpy and tumbling way. After another full night's trek, it was already dark when the buggy stopped on the sand dunes opposite Cook Island.

After a short break, Park PD wasted no time and immediately announced that the first season of "Kim Byung-man's Law of the Jungle" officially started filming, and Suzy's terrifying experience in Africa officially kicked off. (To be continued.) )
