"Entering the Bakarat Market is entering a hostile area, so don't underestimate their abilities. We will enter the Baccarat Bazaar from a safe place, so please remember the rules of engagement and never shoot until the enemy has opened fire. Get these things done now! GIs. ”

This is a classic line from the movie "Black Hawk Down".

As a half-military fan lover, Ding Xiaoxi naturally yearns for the Baccarat market mentioned in this line, and the two chose this place for the first stop.

At that time, the Delta Force of the U.S. Army, the 75th Ranger Regiment, carried out the task of capturing the warlord leader Aideed, and the U.S. Army dispatched 160 people to a small village near the Baccarat market, and the Somalis shot down armored vehicles and Black Hawk helicopters with bazookas, creating the "Black Hawk Down" incident that shocked the world.

The two men filmed the U.S. armored vehicle that was still left there and had been turned into rubble, but Abad told Ding Xiaoxi that more than 50 peacekeepers had died, including 18 U.S. soldiers, but more than 500 Somalis had died, but no one reported the Somalis deaths.

Then he took Ding Xiaoxi and the two of them to shoot the Baccarat Market, which is still the most prosperous street in Somalia, where you can buy some food and drink, and even some small commodities in the low shops on both sides.

"Why don't these shops have signs, and what do these paintings mean on the walls?" In addition to Ding Xiaoxi's shooting, he didn't forget to ask Abad.

"After more than 20 years of war, education in Somalia has largely come to a standstill. The illiteracy rate is as high as 90%, so it is more intuitive to draw on the walls of the store what is being sold. People also recognize. Abad said helplessly.

"Can we go inside the store and shoot?" Ding Xiaoxi asked.

Abad hesitated, "I'll ask, it's not safe here, someone could come out at any time, if something happens, you are too far away from the vehicle, and the security personnel are not good to protect." ”

At last. The security personnel allowed Ding Xiaoxi and Lao Yuan to shoot for 10 minutes, and if the owner of the store didn't let them shoot, they had to quit quickly. People here are very averse to filming because they feel that it sucks their souls in.

It's ridiculous for a reason, like the understanding of cameras during the Qing Dynasty in China, but that's what Somalis think because of their religious beliefs.

With the shooting. It looks like someone is gathering in this direction. The security guards became nervous and hurriedly called Ding Xiaoxi to get into the car, and then the three cars quickly left here.

"What's going on?" Lao Yuan nervously asked Abad who was driving.

"People here are very sensitive, they think you either have bad intentions, or break the rules of their lives, or they may see that you don't like it, so they are gathering." Abad said without looking back.

"What will happen next?" Ding Xiaoxi glanced behind him and asked with palpitations.

"I don't know. Maybe they just looked, or just rushed out of a group of people with guns. Beat you to death. Abad was still calm.

"Oh my god, we didn't do anything, as for it." Ding Xiaoxi wailed softly.

At the third stop, Abad pulled Ding Xiaoxi and the two to a private university, yes, a university. Education is provided free of charge, no need to sign up and no tuition fees, as long as you want to learn and are willing to learn, you can come at any time and understand it.

The two wondered: "Is the level of education in Somalia so high?" ”

"It was run by a person who had returned from studying abroad, and only provided classrooms and teachers." Abad Road.

The university, estimated to be the size of a primary school in a Chinese township, has more than 100 students, and there are female students, and the president of the university was also interviewed, a very young Somali sea turtle, only 28 years old, but determined to educate in Somalia.

"The Somali National University was closed during the war. And in October 2011, a suicide car bombing attack occurred in Mogadishu on the Ministry of Education building of the Somali Transitional Government, killing 70 people and injuring dozens. Since then, the education system in Somalia has been officially paralyzed, and only a few private schools continue to teach. The principal said.

The whole morning's trip was over, "and for the rest of it, we paid for three days." "Ding Xiaoxi is very dissatisfied with only interviewing these things.

"If you like, I can take you to a small village where you can get a real feel for the life of the locals." Abad Road.

The two of them think about it, it's okay, if you want hot news, you can't catch it all at once, now you can flesh out the content that can be filmed first, and use it as material.

As for the pirate the two wanted to interview, Abad told him that he needed time to see the results of the contact.

At noon, Muyang and they didn't come back, Ding Xiaoxi and Lao Yuan also put their minds at ease, they were really afraid that Muyang would know that they went out without authorization, the two of them sorted out the video materials in the hotel, and they felt that they were still very rewarding, and they transferred the things recorded in the morning to the computer.

Ding Xiaoxi said while watching: "I think this kind of content that introduces the real situation in Somalia must be very willing to be watched by domestic audiences, but it is still not exciting enough and does not catch people's attention." ”

"Those award-winning works in the world either have humanistic care, or have the concept of the photographer, remember what Mr. Lin said, Chinese documentaries need to strengthen theoretical control, creative contention and practical breakthroughs." Lao Yuan arrived.

"I think something is missing from the film we made." Ding Xiaoxi said while watching the film.

"What's missing?"

"Lacking a core, we filmed a bunch of things, but we didn't have a central idea, whether we wanted to show the disaster brought by the war to mankind, or to show the cruelty and annihilation of human nature, or to say something to others." Ding Xiaoxi said.

"Well, we'd better find a theme, and then connect it into a story, touching, or shocking story, which makes people have the desire to watch it, and now the things we shoot are too scattered. Old Yuan Dao.

"So what kind of story do you want to tell?" Ding Xiaoxi looked at Old Yuan Dao.

"Of course, it's what people want to know the most, I think pirates are good, Somali pirates, world-famous, if you show the real side of Somali pirates to the world, it will definitely cause a sensation." Lao Yuan said happily.

"Yes, that's what I thought, so we're still urging Abad." Ding Xiaoxi nodded and said.

"Well, we spent a lot of money, and if we don't shoot some real materials and go back, it's not easy to make a difference." Old Yuan Dao. (To be continued.) )
