Doom Smuggler

It's three minutes past twelve...

In the middle of the night, the two actually came to discuss the shooting plan with him...

"I see, since you will not leave the group, Chen Yang, then the shooting plan will return to normal. I will shoot according to the rhythm set at the beginning. But Chen Yang's scenes are relatively trivial.

He is a character who runs through the entire film, but actually there are not many shots, so his shooting plan will be interspersed with other shooting plans, maybe a little bit every day, and then continue the entire shooting process. "

Having said that, Wu Qiong turned her head to look at Chen Yang, and continued, "I can't concentrate on shooting your scenes because your scenes are too trivial and involve many characters.

Once you concentrate on shooting your scenes, you need the entire crew to cooperate with you.This will be very, very troublesome, and you can only cooperate with the operation of the crew.

But in this way, the requirements for you may be a little higher, at least physical fitness, energy, and even the ups and downs of mentality during the shooting process, you must be mentally prepared, and you will be very tired. "

Chen Yang nodded and said: "It's okay, my body is very strong, if it's just tired...it won't affect me in any way."

Wu Qiong blinked, looked at Chen Yang and then at Shu Ya, and couldn't help agreeing: "You are really strong, so it's settled, I will give you the shooting plan about you later You can adjust the time yourself according to the shooting plan. After all, your main job is to protect Xiaoya's safety."

Shu Ya's face was slightly red, and she always felt that Wu Qiong had something to say.

But anyway, she didn't intend to hide the relationship between herself and Chen Yang.

So it doesn't matter...

In the next month, the crew began intense filming in Nairobi.

The shots in the slums were shot for a whole week.

In order to cooperate with the work of the crew, the Nairobi government dispatched hundreds of civil servants. In addition to ensuring the personal safety of the crew, they also solved the problems that the crew might encounter during the filming process.

With the strong support from the authorities, and the top-to-bottom solidarity of the crew, there is no intrigue that often occurs in other crews, so the overall shooting progress of the crew is very good.

After one month, the filming plan was about three days earlier than expected.

This put Wu Qiong in a good mood. Since all the scenes in Nairobi had been filmed, he simply gave the entire crew a day off and invited everyone in the crew to have a team building meal in the largest Chinese restaurant in Nairobi.

It's no wonder Wu Qiong is so caring, it's really this movie that carries too much of him.

The film itself has invested heavily, but most of the funds do not come from investors, but from Wu Qiong's own fundraising.

In order to make the movie go smoothly, Wu Qiong even mortgaged the villa he lived in.

It is no exaggeration to say that Wu Qiong put almost all of his net worth on this movie.

It is conceivable how much pressure Wu Qiong will have in this situation.

Wu Qiong basically has to take care of every penny the crew spends.

He must guarantee his own budget and spend wisely!

It seems that nearly [-] million funds is a very large number.

But when these funds are spent on a movie with a big scene, it will appear very stretched.

Because once the crew starts running, once the film is officially launched, it is equivalent to starting a real gold-swallowing behemoth.

Every minute and every second, this crew is constantly devouring a lot of money.

Wu Qiong must ensure that the quality of the film itself does not have any problems, and at the same time, the budget must not exceed the standard too much!

It is best to be reasonably controlled within the budget.

Otherwise, given his current situation, he really doesn't know where he can get the money if the budget is greatly exceeded...

After all, that's not something that can be done with a few hundred thousand or even a few million.

Once it exceeds the standard, it may be a large number of tens of millions or hundreds of millions.

Even with Wu Qiong's connections in the circle, it is very difficult to borrow so much money at once.

So when the filming progress of the crew is better than expected, Wu Qiong will be so happy.

This means that at least the shooting progress has been made so far, and every penny has been well spent and not wasted.

And if the shooting progress can be kept within the plan, then there should be no need for additional investment in the follow-up.

The relaxing time of the day came to an end soon, and the members of the crew took a good stroll around Nairobi and bought a lot of things, contributing their own strength to Nairobi's economy.

With almost all the shots that needed to be shot in Kenya completed, the crew packed up and went to Somalia together.

Wu Qiong, who was originally quite relaxed in Nairobi, became extremely serious after boarding the plane to Mogadishu.

He is very clear that Somalia is not comparable to Kenya.

Kenya's social security is not turbulent. Although there are many petty thefts, in big cities, at least personal safety can be guaranteed.

But in Somalia, these are all unknowns!

Even Wu Qiong, the local official in Somalia, couldn't get in touch.

Especially when Wu Qiong learned that the Somali government's control over various regions in the country was extremely weak, he then realized that even if he contacted the government, it would be absolutely useless.

It stands to reason that since it is difficult to guarantee safety, the crew should not go to this country.

But the problem is that the background of the movie Wu Qiong made involves the evacuation of overseas Chinese from Somalia, and this event is still a key event in the movie.

In order to strive for the relative authenticity of the whole movie, so that people can know at a glance that the place where it was shot was not fooling the audience, so the country of Somalia must not be bypassed.

At least in terms of the quality of the movie, Wu Qiong strives for perfection.

The plane landed smoothly at the airport in Mogadishu.

When they set foot on the land of Mogadishu, the crew from top to bottom, from the director Wu Qiong to the most common small crew, became visibly tense.

Although they don't know much about Somalia, this does not prevent them from being afraid of the situation in Somalia.

Fortunately, they don't know much about it. If they knew it in detail, they might not even have the courage to come to Somalia...

"Let's go, everyone in the crew is there. During the filming in Somalia, no one is allowed to leave the crew. If someone really has a private matter to attend to, he must ask for leave with me, and he can only leave with my consent. Do you understand?"

Wu Qiong emphasized with a serious face.

827.827 chapters are all acquaintances

It's amazing that Chen Yang actually knew the person who was in charge of waiting at the airport and receiving the crew to rent a hotel...

It was when he ran to Mogadishu before, the receptionist who followed him to the hotel and kept selling bodyguards to him along the way...

It cannot be said that the world is too small. It can only be said that in the city of Mogadishu, there are probably very few hotels that do foreign business, right?

So... Is the hotel rented by the crew actually the same hotel he stayed in when he went to Mogadishu?

Just experienced a terrorist attack a month ago, and in just one month, the follow-up has been dealt with directly, and business has resumed? !

It is absolutely incomprehensible if this kind of thing is placed in other countries.

But in Mogadishu... Thinking about it, it seems normal?

With these thoughts in his mind, Chen Yang took the initiative to say hello to the receptionist.

The receptionist who was originally indifferent to communicate with the deputy director of the film crew, after hearing Chen Yang's greeting, turned his head and looked over subconsciously.

When he saw Chen Yang's appearance clearly, his whole expression changed.

Instinctively, he reached out and rubbed his eyes vigorously, with an expression as if he had seen a ghost appeared on his face.

After confirming that he was not mistaken, the receptionist immediately put on a flattering smile, and even bent his straight waist slightly.

Rubbing his hands together, he walked quickly to Chen Yang with an apologetic smile on his face.

Nodding and bowing, he asked, "You... why are you here too? Or are you following this movie crew?"

"I'm also a member of the crew, of course I have to be with the crew. I still have a role in the movie, a very important role."

Chen Yang said with a smile.

The receptionist's face froze, and immediately corrected his attitude. After apologizing to Chen Yang, he communicated with the assistant director again.

It's just that compared to just now, seeing the reception staff with Chen Yang at this time, they became very easy to talk to when communicating with the assistant director.

All requests that can be agreed to are basically agreed immediately.

Even if it is a request that cannot be agreed, he will explain it to the assistant director in a friendly manner, and at the same time promise that he will try his best to coordinate after waiting in the hotel.

In order to satisfy the crew as much as possible.

Soon, all the crew boarded the buses prepared by the reception staff, and then drove to the location of the hotel.

Along the way, other people were looking at the street scene in Mogadishu out of the window curiously, while Wu Qiong turned to Chen Yang who was sitting behind him and asked: "The ground call just now, he knows you?"

"Ah? Yes, I've been here before, and the receptionist was also the receptionist just now, so I became good friends with him."

Chen Yang replied casually.

"Have you ever been to Mogadishu? That's great! I was still worried before, and I felt that I really didn't know what to do when I was filming here. Although the government here can barely be contacted, from government personnel In speech, I always feel that they are unreliable.

Even if they say yes to everything and seem easy to talk to, I have a hard time trusting them.In addition, some friends told me that this place is very chaotic. If you want to film, it is best not to leave the urban area of ​​Mogadishu. I have been worrying about how to find local people to ensure safety.

Since you are very familiar with that ground operator, why don't you communicate with that ground operator and ask that ground operator to come forward and find a reliable tour guide and a few security personnel to be responsible for the safety of our crew during the filming process? "

Wu Qiong said with great joy.

"No problem. I'll talk to him when I get to the hotel. Don't worry, the people here are very warm and helpful. I think they will definitely be willing to help."

Chen Yang nodded and agreed without any hesitation.

Wu Qiong breathed a sigh of relief.

I just feel that most of the things I have been most worried about all along seem to have been solved in one go!

Along the way, the crew expressed their strong interest in the street scene of Mogadishu.

In fact, if they didn't come to film with the crew, it would be impossible for everyone in the entire crew to come to this place for almost a lifetime.

After all, there are very few people who like to die.

Most normal people are responsible for their own safety.

Several buses quickly drove outside the hotel's security gate.

Chen Yang discovered that the security door that was completely blown up a month ago had been replaced with a brand new one.

Although there are still obvious traces of the explosion outside the safety door, at least it has been cleaned artificially.

Let this kind of trace only look scary, but it will not affect the normal operation of the hotel.

Of course, the crew also noticed the traces of the explosion, but they didn't know what happened before, so they didn't express anything other than being amazed by the traces of the explosion.

Since there are too many people in the crew, it took a lot of time to go through the formalities in the lobby on the first floor of the hotel.

Almost half of the rooms in the entire hotel were directly booked by the crew, which made the hotel's performance in the next few days very good.

So the hotel staff are obviously in a better mood.

Their work is a high-paying occupation in Mogadishu, but the level of income is still directly linked to the quality of the hotel's business.

Finally, after everyone in the crew had completed the corresponding check-in procedures, the receptionist of the hotel also brought the black man who claimed to be the king with Chen Yang to the lobby on the first floor of the hotel.

Seeing Chen Yang again, a very obvious look of embarrassment appeared on the black man's face.

Chen Yang, however, looked as usual, stepped forward like an old friend, opened his arms, and hugged the black man.

Then he took the black man with a smile and introduced to Wu Qiong: "Director Wu, this is my friend and the king of Mogadishu. As long as he is there, the safety of the crew in Mogadishu will not be a problem. I Are you right, King?"

While speaking, Chen Yang patted the black man on the shoulder.

The black man instinctively recalled what happened a month ago, his body shivered involuntarily, and he nodded with a dry smile: "Yes, yes, you are filming in Mogadishu, and I will arrange people to follow you all the way. Don't worry, as long as you don't stay within the range of Mogadishu, there will be absolutely no problems."

"Well... I hope so, but I'm partially skeptical about your guarantee."

Chen Yang said with a smile.

The black man took a breath and wanted to refute something, but he really had no basis for refuting.

Especially what happened a month ago made black people fear Chen Yang from the bottom of their hearts.

So it was just a muffled snort, without expressing any other dissatisfaction.

Chapter 828.828 Friends are all in the world

Wu Qiong was obviously very curious about the fact that Chen Yang had reliable friends in Mogadishu.
