Movie Master

After watching the gangsters leave, Donald looked back at the chaos in the room, and waved his hands, Quick, we must leave quickly. Judging from the situation just now, it should be two gangs fighting each other. There must be nothing wrong. So it's over soon. Donald said, and then walked over quickly, telling the three of Percy to leave the house quickly, and at the same time he squatted down in front of the mistress of the house, and said in Portuguese, I'm sorry we brought Thank you for lending us a shelter for the chaos that has come.

After speaking, Donald took out three dollars from the remaining dollars in his hand and stuffed them into the middle-aged woman's hand. The middle-aged woman seemed to want to refuse, but Donald shook his head firmly, then stood up and left without giving the other party a chance to refuse.

Donald found that Lance was still waiting for him at the door, and patted Lance on the shoulder, saying that he had made arrangements and could leave smoothly. But Lance did not move. Looking back, Donald noticed that Lance was looking towards the room on the left. He knew that the children were hiding in that room.

At this time, the children hiding in the house came out one after another, there were six in total, and the young girl holding the doll was added, and there were seven. However, Lance didn't see the male master in this family. He didn't know if he was out for work or something else happened.

Lance's eyes stayed on the boy. He was the one who covered the little boy's mouth just now, blocking the sound of crying. The boy was wearing an off-white striped T-shirt, his eyes were clear but there was a trace of restraint, he secretly looked at Lance with some woodenness and jerky, but he didn't take any further actions, he just kept his younger brothers and sisters behind him.

Next Monday, there will be a short-term job application at the Atlantic Hotel. If you are interested, you can go and have a look.

Lance's voice broke the silence in the room, and those eyes looked at Lance blankly, including the boy. However, Lance didn't continue to explain. After he finished speaking, he turned around, patted Donald's arm, and walked straight away.

Walking out of the house, the streets and playground outside became calm again. A group of children reappeared chasing a football on the playground, several women wore dirty clothes and were ready to wash together, and the old man with his eyes closed on the side of the road was enjoying the sunbathing serenely and peacefully...everything was so peaceful , So normal, as if the chaotic gun battle just now had never happened at all. Everyone is so taken for granted.

Such a scene gave people the illusion of a world away, but also a chilling shock.

Donald stayed at the door for a while, looked at everyone in the room puzzled, and then quickly caught up with Lance, What's going on?

I just think there is a role that is very suitable for that boy. Lance took his eyes back from the people around him who returned to their daily lives, and replied simply, without expressing his true inner thoughts. Rather than giving the family a sum of money, maybe giving that boy a job and an opportunity to observe the outside world would be more useful. Lance saw in those eyes a clarity that was not polluted by this slum. However, we still have to see if he has the guts to show up at the audition.

Donald was not qualified to intervene in the casting of actors, so he didn't intend to ask more questions, and nodded to express his understanding, So, are you still sticking to the plan to start filming in the City of God?

Lance shook his head, We face the danger of filming being interrupted every day. The loss is too great. We don't have such a large budget. This sentence stunned Donald. He faintly sensed that there was something wrong with this sentence, but he said For no apparent reason, Donald?

Donald was awakened by the voice, turned his head and looked at Lance, expressing that he had regained his focus, and Lance had to repeat his words, As far as I know, there are still several people near the City of God. A slum, right?

Donald nodded, There are three other slums around here, which are much smaller than this one, so they are not as chaotic or dangerous as a whole.

Then let's go and investigate now to see which location is more suitable. In order to ensure the authenticity of the movie, the atmosphere and environment of the shooting scene are very important. Since the city of God is really too messy, it is impossible to start filming, so I can only settle for the next best thing.

The group left the City of God smoothly, and then, under the leadership of Donald, headed towards another slum just one street away.

After experiencing the life-and-death struggle, the imminent danger deeply shocked everyone, and it was difficult to recover for a long time, even Donald was no exception. Although Donald is a Brazilian, he has been active in the film field these years, and he is far away from the lowest slum life. After so many years of comfort, the feeling of hanging his head on his belt has become strange.

Except Lance.

At least, Donald didn't see any flaws in Lance's expression. Lance seems to have quickly forgotten the thrilling experience just now, and devoted himself to the investigation of the next few slums. , is just a dream.

The following investigation trip seemed a bit silent, even Albert, a familiar chatterbox, kept his mouth shut. For a while, it seemed that everyone was practicing silently, moving forward in silence. It's just that when needed, Lance would take the initiative to step forward and ask the locals about the situation. After getting the information he needed, he fell silent again and moved on.

After waiting until sunset, the group of them dragged their exhausted bodies back to the Atlantic Hotel where they stayed. Lance looked at his listless companions and shook his head, Go back and have a good rest, today is just the beginning.

Lance, you also know that today is only the first day, and it turned out to be a shocking education for us. Albert obviously still had lingering fears and said weakly.

It seems that someone is not qualified for this job. It was not Lance who spoke, but Percy, who was standing beside him, said frankly.

This made Albert's teeth itch, Your performance just now was not much better!

At least I don't have legs too weak to walk. Percy didn't show weakness.

Hayden stood beside him a little at a loss, and looked at Lance in astonishment, but Lance didn't care at all, he turned around and left, and left...Looked at Lance who was walking back to the room, and then looked at Albert and Percy, who were still bickering, Hayden decided to play it safe and quietly left this place of right and wrong.

Back in the room, Donald sat down with Lance to discuss, So, have you decided? Which slum will be filmed next?

There are three slums surrounding the City of God, one has a name, and the other two have no names, they are just attached to the City of God. Lance felt that the first affiliated slum was very suitable. The whole environment, atmosphere and feeling were very close to the City of God, but it seemed a little deserted there. Many houses were still empty and no one lived there. Relatively speaking, it was much safer , Even thieves are much less.

This is a good thing for the crew.

However, Lance did not answer directly. Instead, he went to the bedside table to look for it, and found a piece of chocolate left in the hotel room. Then he went back to the sofa and sat down contentedly, No matter where I decide, the initiative It's not with me, is it?

Donald laughed lightly, and asked, This is something you should know before preparing this movie, isn't it?

Lance was noncommittal.

Filming in and around the City of God requires the consent of the government, otherwise it would be impossible to start filming. Donald came to Rio de Janeiro ahead of time, and he has been busy with this matter, taking care of the channels of the government/government and government to ensure that the filming of City of God can be completed smoothly.

Donald found a worn-out note from his pocket and handed it to Lance, I wrote the English translation on the back, and many people said they couldn't understand my Portuguese handwriting. Lance took the chocolate Put it in his mouth, then peeled off the note and read it, Donald explained at the same time, They need us to formulate a detailed charter, the daily shooting time, including the time when vehicles enter their management area and the time when they leave, In order to avoid robbery by gangsters, it is best to report the time and route that the vehicle needs to move in advance. We must keep updating these things two days in advance, and you need to find a person who is responsible for this work.

Lance nodded his chin slightly, expressing his understanding. That's why the crew needed Albert.

Then, we plan to screen actors in the slums, and it is inevitable that real gang members will be screened. Therefore, they will send people to audition. After the audition is passed, they will review and select the final extras. Including actors The remuneration, working hours, etc., all need to draw up a contract in black and white...

When Lance heard this, he raised his head in surprise. He didn't know that the Brazilian government attached so much importance to the law that they even asked to draw up a contract.

Donald smiled awkwardly, Because they have group activities every once in a while, they need to ensure the number of people, and no one can be absent. You know, for them, crowd tactics are very important. Lance couldn't help being a little surprised Well, he really didn't expect that the real purpose behind the contract bondage was this—worried that the crew would not let people go during group activities?

This is...really innovative.

Lance nodded, This is what I like. Although I know that the contract has no binding power on them, but... Lance shrugged, as if to say, At least there is a psychological comfort, he put the note on the When they got to the table, For details, let's talk face to face after I meet these big guys.
