Chapter 33: A Strange Thing Not Seen in Twenty Years
Looking at everyone's half-believing eyes, Zhang Mu didn't dare to dwell on this topic anymore, so he hurriedly clapped his hands and said:
"Okay, it's almost time, let's go back and rest!"
"But after all, we are abroad, so it is better to follow the customs of the locals, and some rules are better not to be violated. If you really need it, you can tell the guide in private! ”
Hearing Zhang Mu say this, the gay men around him suddenly understood, so they couldn't help but let out a meaningful cheer.
Seeing this situation, Liu Yifei, who was still in school, suddenly asked curiously:
"Sister Li, why are they so happy?"
Zeng Li couldn't help but blush slightly when he heard this, and explained:
"It's okay, it's just a bunch of stinky men messing around."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but glance at Zhang Mu, and then took Liu Yifei's little hand and turned around and left.
As for the other young ladies in the crew, they all looked at the group of stinky men with almost contempt, and then went back in twos and threes.
After all, I am abroad at the moment, and after all, safety is the priority, and even if I want to buy something, I don't have to rush it.
After the staff loaded all the tools, Zhang Mu was the last to get on the bus.
However, just when Zhang Mu was about to close his eyes and recuperate, Ning Hao on the side couldn't help but quietly come over, and then licked his face and asked:
"Uh...... Director, I heard that what is legal here, is this true? ”
When Zhang Mu heard this, he couldn't help but open his eyes and glanced at him, and then laughed:
"Mouse, are you sure you want to ask me about this? You know, I have Sister Na's phone! ”
Since Zhang Mu has incorporated Ning Hao, he will naturally not let go of his wife Xing Na.
After all, although Xing Na was not famous later, she was the woman behind Ning Hao. As a senior screenwriter, she can be said to be deeply involved in every one of Ning Hao's works.
However, seeing Zhang Mu say this, Jiang Ping on the side was immediately unhappy.
That's right, this old scumbag has mixed into Zhang Mu's crew again this time. But not as a photographer, but as a representative of the management.
Jiang Ping was wandering around major art schools under the banner of Five Elements Film and Television, but when he heard that Zhang Mu was going to Thailand for filming, he mixed in.
After all, as a veteran of the party, he has heard a lot of rumors about Thailand, and he has naturally longed for it in his heart.
Seeing Ning Hao's curiosity at this moment, he immediately showed off:
"It's alright, mouse. Don't ask him, I know this."
As he spoke, he smiled and said:
"Thailand does not prohibit pornography, but gambling is prohibited. Because the Thai government believes that prostitution does not destroy a family or nation, but gambling can. So gambling is banned in Thailand. ”
When Zhang Mu heard this, he also reminded by the way:
"It's best to pay attention to it when you go back later, because even in a hotel room, tourists playing cards and gambling for money are against Thai law."
Hearing Zhang Mu say this, even if someone was fooled by the bus, his face collapsed, obviously he didn't expect Thailand to be so wide.
However, after Jiang Ping's improper beginning, the guide in the car also simply talked about some local characteristics and taboos.
There are some things, even Zhang Mu has heard of it for the first time.
It's like Thai law makes it illegal to wear an outer garment and no underwear outdoors.
And the guide also specially revealed that the Thai police have trained a pair of eagle eyes for this, and you can see at a glance whether you are wearing a small Nene or not, so don't leave it to chance.
Zhang Mu was only a little curious about this...... The long eye of the needle could not be the occupational disease of the Thai police, right?
Of course, these things are not the most bizarre.
What made Zhang Mu feel speechless the most was Thailand's long-established "renting a wife" service.
Shepherd Zhang is so old, he has heard of renting a house, renting a disc, and renting a car, but this is the first time he has heard of "renting a wife"!
And unlike those "renting a girlfriend" service in China, which only dares to be carried out half-concealed, it is completely legal to "rent a wife" in Thailand.
In order to escape poverty, young girls in Thailand often offer "wife-renting" services to foreigners. These girls are called "black pearls" and the two parties enter into a relationship of their own free will and live together for a short period of time.
The length of time to rent a wife can vary from a few days to a week, a few months or even a lifetime.
In addition to the pursuit of money and a good material life, most of these "black pearls" also hope that one day, they will have real feelings with their "husbands" and become real husband and wife.
It can be said that every "black pearl" receives every customer with the idea of getting married.
This is probably the biggest difference between the "black pearls" and those sex workers!
It is said that this strange "rent-a-wife" service in Thailand began during the Vietnam War.
At that time, there were many soldiers stationed in Thailand, and many of these soldiers lived in the homes of local residents. With the military discipline of the soldiers of the United States, it is natural to imagine what will happen later.
However, many of the soldiers left a sum of money when they left. For the Thai people at that time, this was already a lot of wealth.
So many poor Thai women took the initiative to find the soldiers of the United States at that time. Over time, this strange custom has been formed.
After listening to the guide's introduction, Zhang Mu suddenly couldn't help but have mixed feelings.
It's not that he pities those "black pearls", but he suddenly remembered some old things and some old people.
The descendants are incompetent and embarrassed, but blame the ancestors for being inferior to others?
Alas~ Sad!
……
Because he remembered some unpleasant memories, Zhang Mu didn't have any nature to chat with Jiang Ping and them, so after returning to the hotel, he simply continued to make plans for the future.
But after a while, Yang Guang came over.
Seeing that Zhang Mu was still arranging the rest of the plan so late, Yang Guang couldn't help but show shame on his face, and then sighed:
"Our company still has a weak foundation, and we really have to recruit a senior producer after we go back this time!"
Zhang Mu also nodded with deep feeling when he heard this, this time it was indeed his carelessness.
In this "Tuner" project, although Yang Guang is a producer on the surface, he is a novice after all, and he still lacks experience in many things.
Zhang Mu, the director, can only reluctantly take on most of the production work, and this will inevitably affect his state in other things.
But the matter has come to this point, and it is too late to change, Zhang Mu can only spend money to buy a lesson!
