Chapter 214: Fast and Furious Filming Locations
According to incomplete statistics, a zero-based mountaineer who wants to climb the Himalayas and climb Mount Everest needs to prepare for at least five years, and spend at least 15,000 US dollars a year for long-term aerobic exercise. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
If you want to venture into the snowy areas of the Himalayas at an altitude of more than 6,000 meters, the time is very fixed.
Generally speaking, climbers who are ready to go will need to arrive at the base camp of Everest in mid-March and have a boring wait, because the usual climbing season is only 2-4 weeks, except for April and May, and only mid-September and early October have the opportunity to reach the summit.
And no matter who you are, you have to succumb to the altitude sickness formed by nature when you come to the snowy plateau, at least as an amateur mountaineer, you should first follow the principle of gradual progress.
In the first year, he turned to the mountains and lakes to Guge, and in the second year, he climbed the Yuzhu Peak with an altitude of more than 6,000 meters, and the junior snow-capped mountain of Qi'er Mountain, and in the third year, he obtained the mountaineering certificate of climbing the snow-capped mountains above 7,000 meters, and then he did many exercises between BC--ABC--C1--C2-C3.
During this period, I also have to climb the school slope, practice climbing, cross the glacier, and participate in many emergency drills, such as heavy snowfall, avalanche, slippage, companion heart failure rescue, and even direct heart shot self-rescue, etc.
And learning these is just the beginning, the risk of climbing the snow mountain is about the same as the death rate of flying off the ground in a spaceship, which is more than ten percent, and Du Xiaosheng wants to parachute to the top of Mount Everest, which is even more terrible and difficult.
Well, from now on, every night with the all-round coach, learn how to practice snow emergency.
With this dress, after the foundation of life was guaranteed, Du Xiaosheng's mind was activated, and he had already made up his mind that after participating in the Rio Parkour Tour, he was ready to go to the snowy plateau to see if he could try to challenge the world's highest peak and do the heavenly birth in Ozaki Bathalma!
Live snow survival in the highlands? It should be quite dangerous and exciting.
……
After tinkering with the parkour superstar system for a long time, when Du Xiaosheng opened his eyes and returned to reality, the plane had arrived in Rio de Janeiro.
Rio de Janeiro, or "Rio" for short, was once the capital of Brazil, located in the southeastern coastal region of Brazil, bordering the Atlantic Ocean in the southeast, with a coastline of 636 kilometers. Rio de Janeiro has a savannah climate, with high temperatures all year round, small temperature fluctuations every year, and a relatively uniform distribution of seasons.
It is an important gateway to Brazil and South America, and one of the most economically developed regions in Brazil and South America, known as an important transportation hub and information and communication, tourism, cultural, financial and insurance center in Brazil.
The statue of Christ in Rio de Janeiro is the symbol of the city and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. Backed by mountains and rivers, the harbor is excellent. The main industries are textiles, printing, automobiles, etc., with more than 700 banks and the largest stock exchange; There is the largest Maracanã course in the world. The seaside is a famous tourist destination in South America.
The rich are super rich, and the poor are super poor, which makes Rio a blessed city.
Extreme poverty and excessive luxury sit side by side, slums slung halfway up what should be the wealthy, penniless homeless people sit side by side with wealthy people sharing the waves, sun and sand on Copacabana Beach.
Good food, beautiful women, great views, football......
Faith, violence, blackness. Gang, drag racing......
In Rio, where Fast & Furious is staged every day, it's a mecca for parkour and street culture, and the movie "Fast & Furious" wasn't made up here.
Since 2002, a total of 38,000 people have died as a result of various violence-related incidents, an average of seven per day.
Violent incidents mainly include gang/gang fighting, police and bandit fighting, stray bullets and injuries, etc.
Figures provided by the Brazilian prosecutor's service show that of the 6,073 cases initiated since 2009, only 150 have ended up being prosecuted, with most cases being clueless.
Statistics from the Rio Criminal Police Department show that there are currently an average of 1,324 deaths per month in Rio, of which more than 80% are caused by shooting, and most of the bodies of the dead are found in remote places in the western suburbs of the city, but there are less than 250 criminal police and forensic doctors, which makes it even more difficult to investigate the scene.
Sitting in the taxi, after reading the Rio information provided by the parkour superstar system, Du Xiaosheng raised his head and looked out the window at the super-large shantytown and the children running around on the street, and couldn't help but feel a little magical.
"The crime rate is so high? Drag racing in the middle of the night? Interesting. ”
After getting out of the taxi, Du Xiaosheng came to the residence arranged by the Rio Running Association, and was suddenly speechless.
In the chaotic alleys, the asphalt road and the small square, some shirtless Brazilian handsome guys playing football are chasing and fighting, and a huge green tin garbage can not far away exudes an indescribable smell.
Looking up at the hotel, it is a four-storey independent building, the building is in a trapezoidal shape and occupies one foot of the square, and the door of the hotel outside is painted green, inlaid with thick pieces of glass, which looks like a post office in an old movie.
If it weren't for the electronic scrolling credits on the hotel, which were repeatedly played in English: 'Welcome to the home of parkour lovers in Rio. Du Xiaosheng couldn't believe it, this is the residence arranged by the Rio Running Association for athletes.
Carrying his luggage into the hotel, Du Xiaosheng was surprised to find that the hall here was full of graffiti with a street atmosphere, some people were practicing hip hop with huge bass, and some people were rushing down the stairs on skateboards......
Street culture everywhere and no elevator, Du Xiaosheng carried a schoolbag on one shoulder, registered his passport with a beautiful Brazilian waitress with a lip stud, and then walked towards the third floor of the stairs on the right.
When he passed by a public bathroom on the third floor, a tall brown-skinned beauty with a bath towel came out of it, and the beauty glanced at Du Xiaosheng, but there was no reaction, but when she staggered by, she turned back and asked in Portuguese, "Is it Du Xiaosheng?" Are you Du Xiaosheng? ”
Du Xiaosheng was stunned when he heard this, looked back at the beauty and nodded, "Yes!" ”
"Wow!! I've seen a living person! The beauty was so excited that she hugged Du Xiaosheng and said excitedly in English: "I am your idol!" You're a fan of mine! ”
"Oh no! I said it wrong, you're my idol and I'm your fan! Do you live here?! That's great! Come and sit in my room, I like you so much! ”
This beauty is so hot and unrestrained, after pulling it so many times, her bath towel is about to fall off, and the perfect hemisphere and deep career line are almost ready to come out, so frightened that Du Xiaosheng hurriedly pushed: "Thank you, thank you!" I haven't reported to the running association yet, I'm going to see the venue later, after all, it's tomorrow, so I'm visiting you another day. Du Xiaosheng hurriedly said.
Hearing Du Xiaosheng's words, the beauty said excitedly, "Can I go with you?" I'm going to see the venue too! ”
"You also play parkour?"
"Nope! I skateboard! Don't you know? This year's parkour competition is compared with skateboarding! And there's only one champion! Idol, maybe I can still win you. Let me introduce myself: my name is Gisele Monteiro. Skateboarding Copa Sudamericana winner last year. When it came to skateboarding, the girl in front of her suddenly changed her enthusiastic appearance just now, revealing a momentum of contempt, and looked quite confident.
Du Xiaosheng immediately became interested, looked at the beauty in front of him and asked, "Why don't you ...... Baby? ”
