Andrew Nicol interviewed many arms dealers in order to write the script "Lord of War". The first thing he did when he got the check from Lin Mingyang was not to convince Nicolas Cage, but to find a Czech arms dealer he had previously contacted and buy 3,000 genuine AK-47 submachine guns from him.

Looking at the slowly opening door and the firearms piled up in the warehouse, Lin Mingyang's eyes were a little straight. AK-47 submachine gun, this thing he has only used in shooting games CS, strafing power, point fire headshot rate is extremely high, the disadvantage is that the recoil is large, the muzzle will shake when firing, affecting the intensive reading of shooting.

The real AK-47 is full of weight in his hand, which reminds Lin Mingyang of the script, Andrew Nicol also has a special description of this kind of gun:

"Of all the weapons of the Soviet arsenals, none of them were as profitable as Kalashnikov, finalized in 1947, and more colloquially called it AK-47, aka Kalash. It is a world-famous submachine gun, the soldier's favorite weapon, with an elegant and simple combination of 9-pound forged steel and solid wood, which will never break, jam or overheat. Even if it is covered with mud and sand, it can be fired normally. It's so easy to use that even a small child can use it, and they do. It is on Soviet coins, on the flag of Mozambique. After the end of the Cold War, Kalashnikov became Russia's largest exporter. This is followed by vodka, caviar and suicidal novelists. ”

Lin Mingyang sighed: "How could you think of buying a real gun, if it were my agent, he would definitely call the police and send you directly to a mental hospital!" ”

"Good thing you're not him!" Andrew Nicol smirked, "This gun is all used, and there are no bullets in it, so you don't have to worry about safety." And these real guns are cheaper than props, and in that regard, I think these arms dealers are much more efficient than the studios. ”

"Where did you get these guns?"

"It's easier than buying stocks, I found an arms dealer I interviewed when I was writing the script, and I bought these things from him, and he promised to help me get a bunch of tanks to put together, which I'll use in this film."

"You're going to shoot it all?" Lin Mingyang found that Andrew Nicol was even more "crazy" than he imagined.

"No problem at all, I also found an An-12 military transport aircraft in Russia. You know it's much easier to make a movie and find a real tank or plane than to get a luxury sports car or a yacht. The warehouse where the guns were stacked was provided by a U.S. [***] fire company, and then Andrew Nicol also took Lin Mingyang on a tour of his office.

Walking in, Lin Mingyang found that Andrew Nichol's so-called "office" was actually more like a conference room, with a 10-meter-long desk filled with all kinds of pictures and newspapers related to the film, and at the end of the desk, a real AK-47.

"You're going to meet Nicolas Cage here?"

"I think this arrangement can at least make him feel that I am a 'knowledgeable' director when it comes to arms!" Andrew Nicol explained:

Lin Mingyang nodded seriously, "I think after you finish filming this movie, you can really consider changing careers to sell arms!" ”

-- Nicolas Cage and director Andrew Nicol first met in this office, Andrew Nicol gave him a rough explanation of the content of the film, and then asked if he would like to join.

From the perspective of an arms dealer to expose the inside story of many black market arms transactions, this kind of theme is not everyone has the courage to shoot, the unique surname and original surname of the script attracted Cage, and in the end he only said "yes", and the two sides finalized the cooperation.

During this period, Lin Mingyang returned to Hungary and stayed in the crew of "Tales of the Night" for another two weeks, and after returning to the United States, Andrew Nicol has signed contracts with all the actors. The preparation of the film "Lord of War" does not require Lin Mingyang to worry too much, what makes him really nerve-wracking is how to celebrate his eighteenth birthday.

On Lin Mingyang's personal website, fans came up with all kinds of ideas for him, some said to have a grand party, some said to hold a concert... There are many ideas like this, but Lin Mingyang doesn't want to make this birthday too grand. The eighteen-year-old is very important to him, and he wants to be with people close to him and celebrate his sincerity.

In addition to his own family, the only people who can really be considered close to Lin Mingyang are Angelina Jolie, Kate Beckinsale and Megan Fox, Lin Mingyang has not seriously considered what will happen if these three women meet together, and simply invited them to his birthday party, but the answer he got made him extremely discouraged.

Angelina Jolie is busy filming in Europe, Kate Beckinsale is going back to the UK to shoot a set of commercials in the next few days, and Megan Fox is going to an important fashion party in New York on April Fool's Day, and the three women don't have time to help him celebrate his birthday this time.

His "backyard" was safe, but Lin Mingyang, who should have been happy, was not happy at all. The birthday boy himself is out of interest, but the Hollywood media is very interested in it. Following the "kissing" incident at the Oscars, Lin Mingyang's life has become a hot topic of hype in entertainment newspapers.

To the disappointment of those anticipating entertainment reporters, Lin Mingyang actually had a rare "low profile" before his eighteen-year-old birthday, and he publicly announced that his birthday would not hold any celebrations, and he would only stay with his family.

On the first day of his life, Lin Mingyang held a small party in a hotel near his home and invited his classmates from high school. A group of young people sang and danced here until late at night.

Red and his teammates on the Firefox team were the last to leave, and Lin Mingyang dropped them off outside the hotel, and when he turned back, the waiter in the hotel lobby handed him a beautifully wrapped gift box.

"This is a lady who asked me to give it to you!"

Lin Mingyang took the gift box with some doubts, the gifts brought to him by the classmates who came to the party today were all still piled up in the presidential suite where the party was held, who sent him this at this time?

With a stomach full of doubts, the mobile phone in Lin Mingyang's trouser pocket suddenly vibrate.

"Ready to count down with me on the phone?" The call was made by Megan, and Lin Mingyang couldn't help but tease as soon as he connected the phone.

Meghan on the other end of the phone asked very seriously: "Did you receive my gift?" ”

"Gifts?" Lin Mingyang was stunned for a moment, then looked at the gift box in his hand, "I think I should have received it?" ”

"Then you can take it apart now, it's a surprise!"

"The surprise I want most right now is to be able to see you right away!" Lin Mingyang complained a little childishly, but still opened the gift box according to Megan's instructions on the phone, and then found a car key inside.

"I'm not as rich as you, so I can only buy you the latest Mercedes-Benz sports car." Megan giggled on the phone, "You can see it in the parking lot of that hotel, Zone C, parking lot 36!" ”

Lin Mingyang found the sports car that Meghan gave him very smoothly, which was his favorite silver gray.

When he opened the driver's door, Lin Mingyang unexpectedly found a note, which read:

"Felix, when you saw this note, I was in room 807 of the Mondeo Hotel, yes, I was back, and that was the real surprise. I'm sorry to tell you the news in such an abrupt way, but I booked two tickets back to New York, one for 12 o'clock tonight and one for 7 o'clock tomorrow morning. So I'll just wait for you in your hotel room for half an hour, and if you don't show up tonight, then I'll take the 12 o'clock flight back to New York! ”

The Mondeo Hotel is only three blocks away, and Meghan did book two tickets back to New York, but the one at 12 o'clock was just to scare Lin Mingyang, she chose the nearest hotel, and left enough time for the other party.

Despite this, Lin Mingyang still rushed over in a hurry, and it took less than 5 minutes on the road.

In front of him, Meghan tore up the ticket to leave at 12 o'clock, and in return, Lin Mingyang carried her into the bedroom.

Lin Mingyang threw himself at Megan like a whirlwind, pressed her down on the bed, and frantically lifted her dress, Megan was emotional. In the blink of an eye, he took off his clothes and jumped into Gentle Township like a firefighter rushing into a blazing fire. He was obsessed with the shyness, delicateness and sense of surname of Megan's pink makeup, and he couldn't extricate himself.

At one o'clock in the morning, Meghan fell asleep after some contentment.

Five hours later, as soon as the sky was dark, Megan had to get up and rush to the airport, last night's ** made her more and more beautiful and moving, but at this time Lin Mingyang had to drive her to the airport. Meghan had to rush back to New York to attend the fashion party that Lin Mingyang called "damn".

Lin Mingyang took a shower back to the hotel, and then fell asleep, and when he woke up, it was almost time for lunch, and he himself said that he would stay with his family today, and his parents should be anxious if he didn't go back.

Lin Mingyang drove home in the sports car that Megan gave him, and when he parked at the door, he happened to run into his grandfather Lin Aoquan, who had just come back from the park at this time.

Under the persuasion of Lin Mingyang's father, the old man finally bid farewell to Napani Town and moved to the United States, living with Lin Mingyang's family.

"You bought another new car?"

"A friend gave me a birthday gift yesterday!" There used to be a space left in the garage, but now that space is occupied by a blue Ferrari sports car. ”

"I didn't come back all night last night, did I go out and fool around again?" Lin Aoquan knocked Lin Mingyang's head hard with his hand, "Didn't you invite that girl here?" ”

Lin Mingyang rubbed the door of his head that was knocked out, his head was a little confused, he didn't seem to have invited anyone today, so who was the "girl" in his grandfather's mouth?

"It's the girl who acted with you and looks pretty pretty too!"

"The girls I've worked with are beautiful!" As soon as Lin Mingyang's words fell, he was hit the door of the head again. He rubbed the sore spot aggrievedly, "Your grandson's head is not a wooden fish, and if you knock it again, it will be broken!" ”

"I see you're a wooden fish head, that girl blushes when she sees us, don't think I can't see your relationship!" Lin Aoquan snorted angrily, "Pretending to be in front of me, I see that your kid is not cleaning up this time, and the time to practice boxing in the future will be half an hour earlier!" ”

Lin Mingyang didn't dare to say anything, he knew his grandfather's strange temper, and if he was smart at this time, he had to tolerate it as much as possible.

Lin Aoquan then taught Lin Mingyang a lesson, and finally saw that his attitude of recognizing his mistakes was not bad, waving his hand, Lin Mingyang was like being amnestied, and slipped home from the back door at a trot. He walked through the living room and was about to sneak upstairs when he was caught by his mother, Catherine.

"Good afternoon, Mom!" Lin Mingyang smiled a little weakly.

“felix！” The expression on Catherine's face was stern, "Where did you go last night?" ”

"I drank too much with a couple of friends and slept in a hotel for the night." Lin Mingyang lied.

This explanation barely passed, although Catherine still had a straight face, but her attitude had eased a lot, "Underage drinking, if you are found to be punished!" ”

Lin Mingyang raised his hand with an oath: "I promise there will be no next time!" ”

"Kate is in the kitchen, she came from England to celebrate your birthday, you made her wait all morning, so go and apologize to her right now!" Catherine used a commanding tone directly.

This surprise after surprise continued to appear, and Lin Mingyang suddenly realized that today is not only his own birthday, but also April Fool's Day in the West.

"What is she doing in the kitchen?"

"She's going to bake you a raw cake!"

Holding back the joy in his heart, Lin Mingyang looked at the mountains of cakes piled up in the living room, which were all sent to him by his fans in various ways, "So what about these?" ”

At the mention of these cakes, Catherine couldn't help but complain: "Since yesterday, your father and I have not done anything, just to help you sign for these cakes, and our doorbell is about to be broken by those couriers who deliver the cakes." In the early hours of last night, there were still people sending them here. ”

"I'm so sorry!" Lin Mingyang's guilt this time is from the heart.

"We gave a cake to all the residents in this community, and your dad has contacted the local non-profit organization to give the cake to the homeless people. But even if they were to give one to everyone, they would be able to accept more than a hundred cakes at most. I don't know what to do with the rest! ”

"Ding Dong!" At this time, someone rang the doorbell again.

Catherine clutched her head in pain, "Oh my God, it's cake again!" ”
