Chapter 578: Provocation
A homestay somewhere in Taiji Town.
Richard and the others were nervously making post-production videos in the cramped room, and the atmosphere was quite gloomy, obviously confirming in advance that no one was listening, but they couldn't help but lower their voices.
Everything was silenced, leaving only the sound of the mouse and keyboard syncing.
Hotels and hotels have stopped opening to them, and they can't stay even three or five times the price.
Maybe the hotel wants to make money, but if you make this money, you may not be able to gain a foothold in Taiji Town in the future.
Seventy percent of the villagers here are fishermen, and their anger can flood the entire town of Taiji by selling dolphins.
The whole world is targeting them.
Richard couldn't help but worry about Jarett and Mondstadt, and they had worked all night last night: "There's no need to rush so much, just take a break."
"Rest? When I take a break, I'm going to make the worst documentary of my career!"
Jarrett is rarely a little irritable, and he is like this when he enters the working state, let alone in today's high-pressure state, but most people have a high tolerance for him, because Jarrett is really capable.
The biggest problem with covert shooting is that you can't get exactly what you want.
Most documentaries have this problem, and it can take a full month for a camera fixed in the mountains and forests to capture a picture of a tiger infestation, and then it will take a chance to capture a shot that will appear in the documentary for three seconds.
Maybe because the lens is not arranged, a month of time will be wasted.
In order to be enough to be watching, what Jarrett asked Bi Fang to do was to cast a wide net and arrange as many cameras as possible.
Richard and others brought a full forty-three boxes of equipment, far more than the average documentary would need.
The people of Taiji Town dismantled one, and Bi Fang went to install three more.
If it's not enough, change it, change it, install it, and slip it if you install it.
In hundreds of frames, Jarett showed great control, looking at multiple shots at the same time in a matter of minutes, and connecting them.
Capable and irritable, it is personality.
"Okay, don't worry, I'll go make you a cup of coffee." Richard raised his hands and complied with Jarret's wishes, allowing him to work in peace.
It was July 30th, less than 25 days before the whaling committee meeting on August 23. They are becoming less and less popular with the people of Taiji, and their tolerance seems to have reached a limit that will prick the nerves of the fishermen.
Silently, Jarrett and Mondstadt each poured a cup of coffee.
Richard quietly walked out the door, followed by Mandy and Queko.
Not traveling alone has become almost a rule.
The three of them jogged along the path to the harbor for morning exercise, and every pedestrian on the road watched them, as if they were watching a prisoner
After so many days, feeling such a gaze, Keko and Mandy felt a little uncomfortable, and Mandy would even glare back viciously. Richard turned a blind eye, he had long since adapted to such a gaze.
Reverence, envy, contempt, anger or disdain, he has experienced half a hundred.
From Europe to the Americas to Japan, no matter who he faced and what kind of eyes he faced, Richard had long been able to do it calmly. Richard knew he wasn't a "thin-skinned" person.
Coming to the port, Richard propped his hands on the railing, and after a short warm-up, he was slightly out of breath and raised his hand to look at his watch. 7:00 a.m. sharp.
At this point in time, the earth has not yet been scorched hot, and the air is cool with a hint of sea breeze, which makes people can't help but open their arms and embrace the sea comfortably.
The mountains surround the Kii Peninsula, and the sea is flooded with sunlight, and seagulls hover in the air, waiting for small fish to loom in the undulating waves and swoop down the moment they leap out of the water.
The sea on a sunny morning is a hearty table for seagulls.
Richard squinted, he looked at the flock of seagulls, suddenly showed a smile, pointed to the sky like Tan Chun and the two said, "Look, a Mandy, a tiger-headed Mandy!"
The sea eagle and Keko looked up, the morning sun was a little dazzling, they squinted, and sure enough, they found an extremely large sea eagle among the seagulls.
Tiger head Tan Chun!
Black and white Steller's sea eagles mingle among the seagulls, rampage, and their calls are deep and hoarse.
From the behavioral point of view, this is a rather domineering bird of prey, it is not like those seagulls, the target is locked on small fish and shrimp, but waiting for a big fish that often floats on the surface, for which a stagnant soaring in the air, whenever a seagull accidentally approaches, it will mercilessly use its claws to drive it away, and a few pure white feathers fall in the air.
This is the largest mandy in the world, weighing more than 5 kilograms as an adult, with a wingspan of 2.5 meters.
Their sharp eyes, strong and wrong claws, and powerful beaks all show a dull orange color, whether they soar high in the air, or stop on the branches and seashores, they all show the extraordinary bearing and spirit of the king.
It also feeds mainly on salmon, trout and other fish, but also hunts large and medium-sized mammals such as geese and swans, and even preys on seal pups.
In the documentary "Blue Planet", the tiger-headed Mandy was photographed hunting seagulls in the air.
The sea eagle and Keke also opened their eyes, they had never seen such a handsome Tan Chun, who was larger than other similar people. Compared to it, the seagulls looked like stupid people.
"You can still see Tiger Mandy in Japan." Richard exclaimed slightly.
"What do you mean?" Keko felt as if there was something voice-over.
"This is the largest mandi in the world and the heaviest eagle on the planet, and the global species population of the tiger mandi is now about 4,600-5,100, including 1,830-1,900 breeding pairs, which are monogamous, roughly equivalent to only 3,600-3,800 mature individuals. '
"They are only found near the coastlines of China, Japan and the Russian Federation, which is already very rare, and recently Japan has almost disappeared from it.
"Why?"
"Because of deaths from lead poisoning in inland Japan, the number of Steller's sea eagles here has dropped by nearly half."
Long-term consumption of seafood, coupled with environmental pollution, the land of Japan has an unexpectedly high level of lead.
In addition, Tiger Head Mandy practices monogamy, only breeding once a year, 2 eggs at a time, usually one survives, and it is really not easy for Japan to see them.
How is lead poisoning again?
Is this a lead poisoning zone?
The sea eagle and Keko sighed, looked at the tiger head Mandy, and couldn't help but feel a little pitiful and pathetic.
This ugly species is on the brink of danger.
"But it's still painful to see it, there's no need to cry." Richard cheered up, isn't it?
The sea eagle and Keko looked at the surface of the sea and couldn't help but nod.
Under the undulating waters, a vague shadow became more and more muddy, and something floated from the bottom of the sea, definitely not small.
Shocked, Mandy tightened his wings, stretched out his claws, and slammed into the water like a dive bomber.
Roar!
It's a big trout!
Before the sea eagle and Keko could take pictures, a sharp whistle interrupted their joy.
"Hey, over there, look at this!"
The fisherman on the fishing boat smiled at the three of them, his face full of enthusiasm, and seemed to welcome the three of them.
"Doesn't he know us, and he actually greets us.... Tan Chun smiled, but he couldn't laugh right away.
The fisherman on the fishing boat suddenly lifted a black cloth and turned the hinges.
A juvenile dolphin was hoisted.
