Chapter 246 Collecting Protection Money
The gold and silver feel too flamboyant, and three of the ten in the rehabilitation center can be seen painting the prosthetic with gold and two with silver.
Complexion?
Yan Biao spun around in his mind and shook his head in denial. It's too hypocritical, it's all prosthetic, and what skin color is there.
Regarding the matter of what color to brush his mechanical calves, Yan Biao carefully considered, asked for many opinions, and after thinking about it, he still chose the titanium white recommended by the doctor.
Doctors mostly recommend titanium white, first, for occupational reasons, they have a preference for white; Second, titanium white looks more harmonious and harmless, and it is also the default color of most household intelligent robots, which is the most familiar color for people in the new century, without much sense of distance and threat.
Titanium white, nicknamed "not tanning". Nonsense, tanned to have ghosts!
During the period of rehabilitation training in the hospital, in order to keep the body in the best condition and go to the battlefield as soon as the legs are good, Yan Biao's daily training time is close to the upper limit stipulated by the doctor, and the amount of training is quite sufficient.
Because of the long training time every day, Yan Biao saw that there were too many people in the indoor training ground, and he was not used to the cramped indoor space.
Yan Biao, like the name, looks more strong, originally when he was in Bai Jixing, he often went out to the forest on missions, and he was tanned, but now he is tanned every day, and he is even darker, and at first glance he looks like a cow.
Usually only wear a five-point pants or seven-point pants for training, which is convenient for exercise, and it is also convenient for doctors to observe the use of prosthetics, and today I wear trousers, but after brushing the calves into titanium white, I changed them to cropped pants, and the exposed part of the calves that are brushed into titanium white, in order to match this color, Yan Biao also went to buy a pair of white sneakers.
The rest of the body is tanned and swarthy, and the lower calves are white, and this contrast is quite strong.
"What, playing with dark clouds and snow?"
Zuo Yu almost burst out laughing when he saw Yan Biao like this.
As early as after signing a contract with Yan Biao, Fang Zhao told Zuo Yu about it. During Yan Biao's hospitalization, Zuo Yu also came to see him several times, anyway, he had nothing to do, he was bored every day, and he came to the hospital to listen to Yan Biao's bragging, and listen to the things on Bai Ji Xing.
Although they also compete with each other, they are all Fang Zhao's bodyguards, and they will be comrades-in-arms in the future, and they get along quite harmoniously.
Zuo Yu glanced at Yan Biao's titanium-white mechanical legs, and sighed: "This color looks a little angry." ”
That being said, compared to the blinding gold and silver, as well as all kinds of bizarre non-mainstream colors, and the kind of artistic decors with vertigo effects, titanium white is still passable.
Yan Biao smiled, kicked his legs, and felt good about himself. In the past, when I was in the army, I was used to all kinds of colors that were conducive to hiding, but now that I have retired from the army, I don't need to hide anymore, and it feels good to change colors, but I didn't keep talking about it, but asked: "Did you get a message from the boss?" ”
"Roger." Zuo Yu contacted Yan Biao only after receiving Fang Zhao's news, but when he called, Yan Biao was coloring his mechanical calf, and he didn't have time to elaborate, so Zuo Yu asked the location and came over directly.
"The most recent flight to Weixing is a week later, and the tickets have been booked." Zuo Yu said.
"You can get a ticket?!" Yan Biao was extremely surprised, not long after he finished talking to Fang Zhao on the phone, he checked the ticket for Feiwei Star on the Internet, regardless of whether it was a transport ship or a special spaceship, no matter what the conditions were, as long as he could buy a ticket.
It's a pity that after checking, the tickets for nearly a month have been sold out!
Since the establishment of the Weixing Film and Television Culture Base, there are more people who go to Weixing, all of them are film and television crews, although the review is very strict, the identity of online ticket purchase is verified, and when the time comes, it will have to go through two audits when boarding the plane, and the ticket price is also quite expensive, but there are still not many people who go to Weixing, many people are looking for relationships to enter the film crew to play soy sauce, just to go to Weixing as a member of the film crew to see the legendary double base - key experimental base scenic spots, as well as film and television cultural base scenic spots.
But even so, due to the limited space, the film crews still had to rely on grabbing.
Yan Biao can buy tickets to enter as an investor in the film and television cultural base, but the premise is to grab the ticket.
"Where do I have such a great ability, the message sent by the boss, the ticket has been booked for us, and it has just been sent." Zuo Yu replied.
Yan Biao opened his personal terminal and looked, and sure enough, an unread message was lying there. It was too noisy just now, and I didn't hear the prompt. In the army, I am used to military equipment, but I am not very used to using these mass products in my home planet, and I have to adapt to it.
"When the salary is paid, buy a better personal terminal." Yan Biao said in his heart.
Three days later, Yan Biao and Zuo Yu boarded the spaceship bound for Weixing.
Weixing Film and Television Base now rents places to shoot there, and they have signed contracts.
The area that Fang Zhao bought was also rented by many people, and Fang Zhao didn't have time to take care of those, so it was all the people arranged by Duan Qianji to help him manage it.
However, Duan Qianji was also very busy, and he left it to his subordinates. At first, it was okay, but after a long time, there were more film crews renting places, and there were some people who played with their hearts. It's okay on the Silver Wing's side, because there are special people staring at it, but they can't take care of it, Fang Zhao's place, there are some people who are in arrears, and those people don't dare to fool Duan Qianji, but they dare to fool Fang Zhao.
It's not that you can't make an IOU, and it's not impossible to pay in installments, but first you have to pay!
As soon as Fang Zhao checked the bills, he knew that some people had defaulted on their debts this month.
It's not a big deal, he also has a reason, Fang Zhao didn't go to find Duan Qianji, nor did he trouble the people in the Weixing base, anyway, Zuo Yu was already as idle as a salted fish, and Yan Biao had also recovered, so he would find something for them. One was born in a special combat team and one was a retired major, both of whom were licensed to be equipped with guns, which had a deterrent effect.
When Yan Biao and Zuo Yu arrived at the Weixing Film and Television Culture Base, they looked at those ancient buildings and were also shocked, although there were videos on the Internet, but they were still not as profound as what they saw with their own eyes.
Yan Biao looked at the map and took a deep breath, "Hey-that piece over there is all the boss's land?" ”
Zuo Yu confirmed it three times and nodded, "Yes, it's over there!" ”
"Let's ...... Patrolling the site? Yan Biao was a little impatient. This ancient city-like place, the feeling of traveling through time and space is really strange, no wonder those people like to come here to film. Sure enough, the live-action shooting still feels better, he is like this, and those actors with extraordinary acting skills must feel it even more.
"Let's go." Zuo Yu raised his feet and hurriedly walked forward.
Where there was a film crew, they didn't bother, carefully bypassed.
However, when he went to an inn, he saw a group of people arguing and some people doing something.
"Is this filming or playing for real?" Zuo Yu looked around, but he didn't see the camera, and at the center of the quarrel, everyone was dressed in different clothes, some wearing ancient clothes and some wearing modern clothes.
"It's a fight." Zuo Yu concluded.
"Do you want to call the sentinels stationed nearby?" Zuo Yu asked.
Yan Biao moved his shoulders and said to Zuo Yu, "You don't need to trouble the people of the sentry team for this little matter, write down what these people have damaged, and I will solve the rest." ”
After speaking, he raised his feet and walked over, shouting loudly as he walked: "Hey, what are you doing!" Stop it! ”
After shouting, he slapped three punches, two feet and one slap, neatly and brought down several people who fought the most fiercely.
The person who was knocked to the ground lay on the ground for a long time and couldn't get up, and his mind was still confused.
Seeing this, the other people on the side took two steps back, and their eyes swept over Yan Biao, who was not easy to mess with, and Zuo Yu, who came over, "You...... You guys...... Who is it? ”
"We?" Yan Biao's swarthy face grinned, "Debt collector." ”
When the people around looked at the posture of the two of them, "debt collector" was automatically translated as "protection money collector" in their minds.
How long has the film and television city been open, and there has been this kind of black deal? The army doesn't care?
But think about it, the shops and studios in remote places on the home planet, and the shops in the black street have this situation, and it is not uncommon for a black industry chain to be born here.
"Don't mess around, we'll call the police...... Find the Sentinels! A leader-looking person looked at Yan Biao and Zuo Yu warily.
"We are civilized and law-abiding." Zuo Yu said.
People around: "......" If you don't reveal the gun you are carrying when you say this, you will be more credible.
————
Within a week of Zuo Yu and Yan Biao arriving at the film and television culture base, Fang Zhao successively recovered the arrears, and the compensation for the fights and troubles also had to be returned.
When Yan Biao talked to Fang Zhao on the phone, he also talked about the problems of the film and television city.
"Some people, seeing that the master is not there, no one cares about them, and they think that they can turn the world upside down. Boss, I think there are only me and Zuo Yu are still too few, after all, the territory is big, there is usually a small friction, we can't really shoot, and it takes physical strength to solve it with fists and feet, after all, there are only two people. The ones on the Silver Wing side are all a team dedicated to managing law and order, I see, they are all veterans, we can follow suit, but it doesn't take so many people, just ten. ”
Yan Biao said to Fang Zhao, "I know some comrades-in-arms, all of whom retired from the army for some reason, and some of them were discharged due to injuries like me, but their character is absolutely reliable." ”
Fang Zhao actually thought about this problem, and as soon as Yan Biao mentioned it, he agreed, "Zuo Yu's side is too, if there is a suitable one, you can also recommend it." ”
"Understood!"
The reason why Fang Zhao asked Yan Biao and Zuo Yu to go to the film and television city is, of course, to collect arrears, and second, to play a controlling role. There are many people in the film and television city, and it is inevitable that some people will make trouble, and it is not uncommon for conflicts between various film crews to occur.
After talking to Yan Biao, Fang Zhao looked at the current deposit.
The deposit, plus the money for the music of those scenes written for film and television dramas, as well as the future income of the film and television base, is enough.
Fang Zhao plans to hold a solo concert after his service.
In Yanzhou, there are three halls of music industry that have been certified by global music - "Five Tones", "Vinyl" and "Golden Years". But among the three, the first two have strict requirements for the level of performers, and the standard for measuring the artistic level is what honorary awards the performers have won, otherwise they can't rent it.
In other words, if the performers do not meet the other party's requirements, they will not agree to rent the venue.
As for the remaining one of the three, it is also the only one that "can be rented if you give money" to the palace "Golden Years", which is Fang Zhao's choice.
The "Golden Years" Music Palace, which has the lowest requirements for the artistic level of the performers, and the average age of the people performing there is lower than that of the other two music halls, and it is an important performance venue for many young people in the music industry to step on the high-end stage.
Xue Jing's suggestion to Fang Zhao also started from the "golden years", and if there are not enough high-quality awards and honors, he will not be able to apply for performances in the other two music palaces. Yi Fang Zhao's current status in the music industry has no heavyweight awards, and he can only apply for the "golden years".
But there is one requirement in the golden years, which has stopped many people's footsteps - expensive!
Fang Zhao checked the application amount of the concert hall, and then looked at his savings and income, and he could afford to pay. Although there is not much savings after applying, after the end of the service, there are all kinds of endorsements that have been signed long ago, as well as other income, so it will not be stretched thin at that time.
However, it is precisely because of the "Golden Years" that you can rent for money, as well as the expensive rent, that the reputation of the industry is not very good, and some high-ranking people are reluctant to perform there, preferring to apply for the other two music halls in Yanzhou after getting more awards decades later.
In order to prevent Fang Zhao from thinking too much, Xue Jing also deliberately enlightened Fang Zhao. Although the "Golden Years" has a bad reputation, it is a good stage and an excellent training ground as a venue for rookie performances. Whether it is vulgar or not, everyone has different opinions.
"The heart is invincible." This is Xue Jing's words to Fang Zhao.
In fact, Xue Jing was too worried, Fang Zhao knew very well in his heart, he just needed a stage now to test his ability.
Joseph suggested that Fang Zhao find a company to speculate, but Fang Zhao disagreed.
If you can't keep up, just based on speculation, the general business operation is okay, but if you want to be recognized by those investment giants, it is impossible. Those are human spirits, you can see the traces of operation at a glance, and you may even guess the trajectory of operation.
Everything speaks from strength.
