The winter sun shines through the sparse treetops and shines on the ground, and the cool breeze blows through, driving the tall eucalyptus trees to make a soft sound of branches colliding. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Dressed in a neat hunting suit, Duke carried a single-barrel shotgun on his back, and with his tall figure and tough face, he looked like an excellent hunter.

However, the truth is that he is an out-and-out rookie hunter.

"Shotguns are shot shotguns, and they don't require high accuracy."

Leaning against a eucalyptus tree, Tom? Cruise led the hound, making some basic explanations, "But the recoil is a little strong, but with your arm strength it won't be a problem, pay attention to control ......"

While there is never a shortage of gunfights and explosions in a film, that doesn't mean Duke is proficient in firearms, in fact he has very little experience with guns.

Needless to say in the previous life, the opportunity to get in touch with a real gun can only be described as 'rare', in this life, when the crew cooperated with the Pentagon to shoot, the soldier actors provided by the military used real guns that did not use bullets, and he also shot targets in private, but only a few times.

As for hunting, for the busy Duke, there was not much experience in field involvement at all.

Tom? Cruise beckoned to Duke and headed deeper into the woods, followed by Duke.

It is more suitable to be a grass-beaten wasteland than a wood, except for a few bushes, only a few tall eucalyptus trees are scattered among them, and the weeds on the ground grow very tall. From time to time, the slightly yellowed blades of grass would fall in a row with the cool breeze passing by.

Duke listened to Tom at dinner yesterday? Cruise mentioned that the targets of their trip were wild deer and hares, and that in Australia, which is vast and isolated from other continents, large herbivores lack natural predators due to the absence of natural predators such as wolves, lions and tigers. It is often flooded.

In Australia, herbivores such as wild deer and hares can be a huge threat to commercial farms.

Suddenly, the dog barked, and the hound scurried past Duke like an arrow from a string, and rushed towards the opposite bush, where several deer chirped, and several wild deer seemed to be frightened. Ran out of it.

Duke immediately took off the shotgun he was carrying, loaded it skillfully, ran a few steps to a camphor tree, and took aim at the running figure of the wild deer with the tree as the backing.

Tom? Cruise's Hound is clearly professionally trained. Circling around, the deer was driven towards the vicinity where Duke and the others were.

With the essentials of shooting in mind, Duke aimed at a stag with long horns and pulled the trigger when the stag had to slow down and turn because of the trees.

There was a thump in his shoulder against the butt, and Duke heard the crisp sound of gunshots and quickly looked up to see that the stag was intact. Not only is he still galloping, but he is also running faster because of the gunshots.

Teeth bared. Duke pushed the bullet again, which was normal, and if it hit, it would be an accident.

The crosshair was still locked onto the buck, and before it could run out of range, Duke pulled the trigger again. As gunshots rang out, a hundred and fifty feet away on the wasteland. A few blades of grass debris flew up, and the deer let out a long roar. And then...... Ran away smoothly.

Just when Duke sighed and had time to practice his marksmanship, Tom behind another eucalyptus tree? Cruise pulled the trigger, and Liang Tang was quite a bit Ethan? The moment the gunshot rang out, about one hundred and twenty feet in front of Duke's left, a female wild deer fell to the ground.

And Duke clearly saw the blood that flowed out.

"Good marksmanship, Tom." Duke gave a thumbs up over there.

Tom? Cruise smiled back, then snapped his fingers and whistled, and the hound ran towards the fallen deer.

The rest of the deer scattered, and Duke picked up his shotgun and talked to Tom? Together, Cruise walked towards his prey.

"I'm just lucky." Tom? Cruise stepped on a dead grass, and there was a cracking sound, and at the same time said happily, "I may not be able to hit ten shots before, but it seems that today is my lucky day." ”

Running animals are extremely difficult to shoot, and Duke knows this, even if it's luck, you need to have some shooting experience as a basis.

A rookie like him, even if the deer stood still a hundred feet away, he might not be able to shoot.

In Hollywood movies, a random person can kill all sides with a gun, and it only exists in movies.

Skirting a few camphor trees, stepping on knee-high weeds, and before he could get closer, Duke smelled a strong smell of blood coming from ahead, and he didn't feel any excitement when he smelled it, but a little tightness in his chest.

He is still a long way from being a master hunter.

However, with Duke's busyness, it is very doubtful whether he can become a qualified hunter in this life.

Bypassing the bloodstained weeds and ground, Duke looked at the head of the body that had been covered by Tom? The wild deer shot by Cruise, the wild deer seemed to have no breath, only the bullet holes in its body were still twitching slightly.

Tom? Cruise took out the walkie-talkie, told the farm staff to pack up the prey, and then asked Duke what he meant, and the two of them and a dog continued to move forward.

Over the course of half a day, Duke fired a dozen shots, and there was nothing to be gained except for luck, when a loose bullet hit a hare in the leg.

Behind, Tom? Cruise also gradually showed his true level, only hunted one hare, most of which was due to the hound, and the rest of the bullets were all empty, and the archery skills were not much better than Duke's.

When the sun turns to the horizon, Duke and Tom? Cruise walked out of the woods and drove towards the farmhouse in an SUV.

Say to the driver in front of you, Tom? Cruise's eyes turned back to Duke next to him, "How do you feel here?" ”

"Not bad."

If you retire in the future, you can choose to find such a place to retire, this is Duke's real idea.

Tom? Cruise pointed to the north side of the car, "Over there, right next to this farm, the Kidman family has a large piece of land for sale, if you're interested, you can ask Nicole to contact them." ”

The Kidman family is arguably Australia's largest landowner, but Nicole? Kidman's blood relationship with them is actually very distant.

"I'll go over tomorrow when I have time."

As long as the environment and price are right, Duke can have people come and buy it, "but even if I get it, I don't have much time to come, and there are a bunch of work plans waiting for me." ”

Speaking of work...... "Tom?" Cruise put the farm aside for the time being, "Duke, did you think we would work together again?" ”

"You should know that my plan is to be cold and less pestering, and to pet an undercover wife." Duke shrugged, "Tom, do you want to be a supporting role for a bunch of robots?" ”

If only Tom? Cruise originally intended that he would consider having people revise the script, after all, Liangtang's appeal is still very strong.

"I know you always have a lot of ideas,"

Needless to say, Tom? Cruise certainly doesn't want to play a supporting role for robots, "You can always find the right project in the next few years, right?" ”

Duke shook his head, "I'll wait until I have the right idea." ”

In fact, he had Nancy file a sci-fi script with the Screenwriters Guild earlier, but he hadn't figured out when to start production.

And in the future of Hollywood, it will be increasingly difficult for non-adapted films to survive, and Hollywood producers would rather throw money into third-rate comics and novel adaptations than invest even a dollar more in extremely risky original projects.

In Tom? After three days at Cruise's farm, Duke left Brisbane to reshoot the scene with Scarlett? Johnson met up in Sydney for a holiday in the South Pacific.

Duke is happy on vacation, but some people are in an extremely bad mood.

In a studio at ABC TV in Los Angeles, Donald? Trump just finished recording a new talk show, and walked off the stage with a gloomy face. After Trump's news came back, his temper increased exponentially, and he even had a big fight with the director before the recording.

An important opportunity for the Trump Organization is elusive.

Go backstage and remove your makeup, Donald? Trump is preparing to leave ABC TV and fly back to New York as soon as possible, and the current financial and real estate situation is extremely delicate, and even shows signs of collapse, which is undoubtedly very bad news for the Trump Organization with real estate as the core.

"Hey, Donald."

Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice sounded, Donald? Trump looked back and saw that it was Cook, the former president of Walt Disney? Dick, nodding slightly at him, said with a bit of arrogance, "Is there something wrong with me, Cook?" ”

Cook? The disgust in Dick's eyes flickered, "Michael wants to talk to you." ”

Donald? Trump walked over slowly, frowned, and asked, "What is he looking for me for?" ”

"Heard you're at Duke? Rosenberg has a lot of trouble there? "Cook? Dick just relayed lightly, "Don't you want to get what is supposed to belong to the Trump Organization?" ”

Think for a few seconds, Donald? Trump nodded lightly and followed Cook? Dick stepped out of ABC and onto the enclosed skybridge that connected ABC to Disney's headquarters.

No one is willing to fail, Donald? Trump is no exception, especially when it comes to billions of dollars in assets.

He knew that because of the Pixar studios, Disney was the most tired of all the Hollywood companies. Rosenberg's people.

The enemy of the enemy can be used as a partner for the time being.

Until the next day, Donald? Trump flew back to New York. (To be continued)
