Chapter 1270: Mental Preparation
The crew set up camp and started the filming of the movie, and Bit was used to Zhen Fan's disappearance again. So at the beginning, I tried to let the three heroines catch up with the scene. After that day, Bit's feelings were obviously much better, and he adjusted himself, without any psychological discomfort and shadows.
There was a big scene in the desert, but the number of people who came with me was not very large, most of them were staff, so it was important to find extras from the local area. Fortunately, Bit had been prepared for these for a long time, and when he was in Algiers, there was a staff dedicated to recruiting extras. After the filming of the scenes of the three protagonists is completed, the extras will also rush over. In this way, you save time and money.
The pay of an extras for a hundred dollars a day is quite attractive in Algiers. Still, Bit was a little apprehensive when he learned that the staff had recruited only about fifty people in Algiers. What can fifty people do? The remuneration is already not low, it can be said that it is a lot of wealth in this country, but why is no one doing it?
"I really don't understand, why don't those people want to make money even if they have money? It's such a strange country, it's incomprehensible. Thinking of this, Bit couldn't help but complain to Gary that he was a director and couldn't vent his complaints directly to his staff, which would affect morale. In the absence of Zhen Fan, he could only complain to Gary.
"That's already good!" Gary laughed, "Our trip this time is like a trip to death, the locals must have heard about the robbers here, so they are right to be apprehensive." Who wants to risk their lives to make money? Gary patted Bit on the shoulder, "It looks pretty good right now." At least fifty people were not afraid of death, for a hundred dollars a day. So...... If it weren't for the insane of poverty. Or if you are desperate, no one will do it. ”
Gary was right. But it's because he said it right, so it makes Bit extremely depressed, fifty people obviously can't shoot any big scenes, of course, if CG technology is used, it may be possible, but Bit's signature of this movie is real...... Since it is a real signboard, you can't use CG technology, which is the principle of bits. Because once exposed. The audience will think it's a deception.
"Well, in that case, we might as well double the price, two hundred dollars a day, only three hundred." Bit gritted his teeth and said, "Three hundred, can you give me a picture of a large-scale war scene?" He asked Gary a little unwillingly, originally thinking that he would bring in a lot of extras lightly. I didn't expect to hit a wall here.
"Three hundred is enough. But I was worried that not many of the 300 people would come in the end. Even though you've doubled the price, you're sure to think that you've got to have to spend all that money, right? Gary shook his head, "Or...... We're going to spread the word about killing all the robbers this time? ”
"Definitely not!" Bit shook his head. "When we say something like this, we're just going to be passive. So many people died, even if they were all damned robbers. Everyone has committed heinous crimes, but we are not judges. And...... How are you going to tell the cause of their deaths? Is it because we use extremely advanced weapons, or are we spitting at them? Come on. This one...... Even if you can't recruit people, you can't use such reasons to recruit. Don't make trouble for Zhen Fan, I'd rather give more money! ”
Gary also sighed and said, "I hope there will always be someone who is not afraid of death and loves money." ”
Just when the two of them were worried about the extras, Zhen Fan had already left the camp and appeared on the road alone, he wrapped his head and face in cloth, only his eyes were exposed, he was wearing a long shirt, he looked like an Arab dress, and when he saw an off-road vehicle speeding on the highway where he was built, he stood on the side of the road and gave a thumbs up.
"Hey, somebody's asking for a ride!" The driver was a little black guy, and he was facing Ibn next to him? Rashid said, "Shall we piggyback on him for a while?" Anyway, we're going in that direction! This guy was a little enthusiastic, looking at the thumbs-up guy on the side of the road from afar.
"Don't mess with me, Amal, and drive honestly. If we're still here when we come back, we'll take him with us or give him a ride. Now think about it...... This is a place full of robbers, so will there be any problems with this person on the road alone? "Ibn sitting next to the chauffeur Amal? Rashid said, then picked up the AK submachine gun from his side, pulled the bolt, and slowly placed it on his thigh, as long as the situation was not right, he could pick up the gun and shoot at any time.
"You're too careful, Ibn!" Amar smiled, and stepped on the accelerator to pass over Zhen Fan, who was getting closer and closer, but it was his big foot on the accelerator, and suddenly the car rushed forward for a while, and the engine sounded a few times, and then the speed slowed down, and slowly stopped on the side of the road.
"Oh my God, damn it, how could it stop all of a sudden. Motor...... There was a problem with the engine. Damn it. Amal couldn't help but scold, he finally parked the car on the side of the road, and then jumped out of the car with a curse, got to the front of the car, opened the lid on the front of the car, and a puff of black smoke suddenly came out, so that he quickly dodged, and took a few breaths on the road next to him, which calmed down.
And Ibn? Rashid also came down with a submachine gun, he looked around vigilantly, there was nothing to hide around, and there was no figure to be seen, so he focused all his attention on Zhen Fan's body, his heart was full of vigilance, as long as Zhen Fan had any unusual behavior, he would shoot without hesitation.
"Hey, do you need help?" Zhen Fan is facing Ibn ? Rashid spoke loudly, but he spoke not Arabic or French, but English. As he spoke, he walked toward Ibn as he spoke.
Ibn understands English, and since the other party speaks English, then it can't be a local, it looks like an Arab, which makes Ibn even more vigilant, so he shouts loudly: "I'm sorry, sir, we can do it ourselves, stand there, don't come." As he spoke, he raised the submachine gun in his hand.
Zhen Fan really stood still, and he said loudly to Ibn: "Got it, got it." But...... I want to say that last night, there was a fire here, and I could see the fire from a long distance, so today I came to see if I needed any help. That's right...... I'm an auto mechanic, and I can fix your car if I can! Zhen Fan tried to get closer again.
"Hey, Ibn, he said he would fix the car. Why not let him try it? Amal whispered to Ibn, "He's going to the place where the fire broke out anyway...... Oh my God, where is he going? Go to yesterday that fire engulfed Somme? Where to go at Brody's? As he spoke, he also raised his head and looked towards Zhen Fan.
"Yes, I knew it wasn't going to be the way we thought it would. I always felt that this man was really ...... It makes me feel very uneasy. Maybe the fire had something to do with him! "Ibn? Rashid said, and walked towards Zhen Fan with a gun, "Raise your hand, man, we have no ill will, we just want to make sure if you have ill will towards us, as long as you don't have a weapon, I will let you go over to repair the car." Where you want to go, I'll take you. "At this time, Ibn? Rashid has already made a decision.
"Okay, I will." Zhen Fan raised his hands, then slowly turned around, facing away from Ibn ? "I have no ill intentions, and I don't even know why you're so wary of me, I'm not a local, I'm from the United States, my name is Bruce?" Zhen, I'm looking for my companions. ”
"Americans? I'm sorry, I never knew there were Americans here, turn around and ......" Ibn pointed the gun at Zhen Fan, then ordered him to turn around, and he started to search his body from behind him, but he didn't find a weapon, so he nodded, took a few steps back and said, "Okay, man, turn around." ”
Zhen Fan turned around, then pulled down the one that covered his face, and said, "No, my friend must be here, they have alerted the country, that is, they are in danger and may need ransom." God knows, how could they have a ransom for a bunch of archaeologists? It's all poor! ”
"Archaeologists?" Ibn frowned, then looked at Zhen Fan and raised the gun in his hand, "Man, you're really unlucky, the one I hate the most is the archaeological people." Okay, now I have to wronged you, raise your hand, I have to take you back. You'd better be honest, Alma...... Tie this guy up! ”
"Oh, no, Ibn, our car hasn't been repaired yet!" Amar shrugged his shoulders at Ibn and came up with an idea, "Otherwise, let's let this guy fix our car first, and then we'll escort him back, anyway, those guys who make movies won't leave for a while." Let's take a look at it again? ”
Ibn? Rashid thought for a moment and said, "Well, you're right. Then he waved the gun in his hand, "Hey, man, you don't look like an American, why are you worried about these Yankees?" Come here, fix our car, and I'll take you to meet your guys. Let's be honest...... I don't really like Americans. You are...... Asian? ”
Zhen Fan smiled and said, "I'm not an American, but I got a green card after I went to the United States from China." But the people I'm looking for, they're all archaeologists, and they don't involve politics or arms, so ...... They are completely harmless to you, I can hear you, have you taken them captive? ”
"Come here, you'll know, it's not what you think, we're just kidnapping, and if they didn't violate us, we wouldn't have detained them. Come here, man...... We do this, you fix the car, and I'll send you there. As for what to do, it's up to our boss, so you'd better be prepared! (To be continued......)
