Chapter 1264 Bribery

However, things are often unexpected. The planned two-day shooting has to be postponed due to accidents. ≥, When Bit asked the staff to communicate with local government officials, they encountered bribes. This is a typical characteristic of African countries. Extortion of bribes is a norm, but the staff members do not have such experience, so the matter did not succeed.

So when Zhen Fan went to see Bit, he was throwing a fit and yelling at the two staff members. After seeing Zhen Fan, he finally restrained his anger, and waved at the two impatiently: "Get out, hurry up, God, how can such a thing happen, these bastards should be killed one by one!" Blow their heads off with a gun."

As if being pardoned, the two staff showed grateful eyes to Zhen Fan, and then disappeared in front of Bit in a flash. Now Bit is a bit difficult to mess with. Bit rarely dealt with civil servants in these African countries, so he was a little uncomfortable. It is understandable that problems arise.

"Hey, things are not going well?" Zhen Fan walked over with a smile, and then sat next to Bit. Bit's room is large, as is the reception room, which he uses as a temporary office. Because the application was not approved, the planned shooting was basically unfinished. But this matter is easy to solve, and things that can be solved with money are not difficult.

"It's an unbelievable country. It's so open to bribes and money." Bit thought for a while, and finally sighed, "Okay, I choose to compromise. I will go there tomorrow and deal with these bureaucrats. See you What a ghost! This damn country, I hate this group of shameless bureaucrats, it is hopeless!"

"Bribery can be found in every country. It's just that the poorer the country, the more obvious it is, and the more developed the country, the more subtle it is. But the essence is the same." Zhen Fan couldn't help laughing, "The previous paragraph Time. I issued a statement stating that I will fully support the re-election of the current governor of New York, Andre Cook, and invest 20 million US dollars in the future. This is a fair and just bribe. In exchange for my interests. So …None of us has the right to say that it is a retrogression of civilization for civil servants in this country to ask for bribes. Because we have done more than they have.”

Bit listened, smiled helplessly, and shrugged his shoulders. Yes, what Zhen Fan said was the truth, the bribery by the United States can even be carried out openly, and there are high-sounding reasons. Even the amount of bribes will be huge, just like Zhen Fan's political donations.

Maybe it seems. American officials don't accept bribes, don't take part in treats, etc. They seem to be relatively fair, but their interests are exchanged all the time. Their bribes just have better reasons, thus putting on the cloak of legality.

"I seem to have nothing to say, I can only exchange benefits with those corrupt officials." Bit shrugged, spread his hands helplessly, and looked at Zhen Fan, "If you are here to convince me .Then... Congratulations,

You succeeded, you bloody bastard——” He himself burst out laughing when he said this. Thinking about it, it’s actually true, it’s not something that can’t be solved. Why do you want to get angry?

"Okay, this matter is not a big one. Algiers is a very beautiful city, don't let this little thing spoil your mood." Zhen Fan picked up three empty wine glasses as he spoke. Handing it to Bit, Gary said, "After this movie is done. Let's go relax and relax. I won't be doing any more movies for at least a year. Life is like this, when you want to enjoy life When you are busy, you are entangled in ordinary things, why can't we have fun?"

"We can go to sea!" Gary held an empty wine glass, looked at Zhen Fan, and raised it to suggest, "To be honest, besides drinking, my favorite thing is fishing. Going to sea and fishing can open up my heart a lot. This is what I have been doing for many years. I'm used to it. But Bit doesn't seem to be very good at fishing!"

Bit just laughed: "My favorite thing is to go skiing, but... I am a little older now, and some things are still not what I want, but if possible, we can go to Switzerland, St. Moritz in Switzerland. Although Vail in the United States also It’s good, but it’s too casual, and I’m not that old yet.” Bit seems to be thinking about some past ski experiences, “Actually, if we say the most pleasant place, it should be Kitzbühel in Austria you."

It seems that Bit has indeed been to many skiing places. After talking about all this, he pulled back and smiled helplessly at Zhen Fan and Bit: "I didn't expect that I, who like skiing, would actually trap myself in the desert." .But this seems to be a good aftertaste, so we agreed... let's go skiing!"

"Whether it's skiing or fishing, we're all here to get rid of this damn annoying thing!" Gary raised his glass again and looked at Zhen Fan and said, "Please, don't do this, I'll raise it Why is the glass still empty after drinking it twice? I know you have some tricks, come on, give none of us a glass of wine!"

Zhen Fan couldn't help laughing, then raised his glass and said, "Why don't we touch the glass? Maybe we can see a miracle!" He said to Bit to raise his glass.

Gary muttered, "Miracle? Well, I'm already numb to this word, especially when you're here, what else can be called a miracle? Hell, hurry up and touch it!" Said I couldn't wait to touch the three cups together, and there was a crisp moment.

When the glasses touched each other, the wine glass was suddenly full of wine. It was a kind of yellowish transparent wine with a strong fragrance. Gary couldn't wait to take a sip, and said with a smile on his face: "Grass, this is whiskey." , oh my god, is this whiskey? I've never had such good whiskey."

Bit also took a sip, nodded frequently and said, "It's really delicious!" Then he turned around, looked at Zhen Fan and said, "Are you planning to produce this kind of wine? My God, you want to make as much money as possible in this world!" All the drunkard's money?"

Zhen Fan smiled and said: "This kind of wine may be introduced to the market in the future. Of course, it will definitely be worse than this. I drink it myself, and I can't buy it even if I have money, because my wine industry's product line It is relatively simple, so we will promote this new whiskey in the future. I believe there will be a market.”

"There will be a market? Haha——" Gary laughed, "I have no doubt that this wine will surpass h?c?d's positioning, even if the future mass-produced products are worse than this, but I can guarantee that this wine will not be worse than h?c?d, do you dare to bet with me? If you lose, give me a free bottle of this whiskey every day."

"Forget it, you two don't even need to cover it up now? This is naked robbery, you know how much I can sell for this bottle of wine?" Zhen Fan smiled and waved his hands, ignoring this. The two guys yelled, "Okay, it's good to see that you're fine, I'm leaving, go to bed early!" Then they walked out.

The next day, Bit took pictures of those two guys from yesterday. He himself didn’t want to deal with those corrupt officials, so after Bit’s consistent indoctrination, the two guys from yesterday bit the bullet, and then went to the others In his office, he secretly handed over the cash wrapped in a paper bag. It's just that after this guy took it, he pointed out these two people and sent no less than a dozen officials, big and small, one after another. In all, $20,000 was spent.

After some sorting, Bit was finally able to start filming, but it was only the third day. It was a simple matter, but it turned out to be a detour. So during the entire shooting period, Bit's face was very gloomy. Zhen Fan didn't go crazy outside with the three women, but followed Bit and watched the whole filming process.

"Enough, enough, come down!" The drone was used for filming, with a high-definition digital camera from a high altitude, and then filmed from various angles. Of course it also included shots of the entire city and port. Judging from these shootings, Zhen Fan really opened his eyes, learned a lot, and admired Gary even more. What is captured by the high-definition camera of the drone is no worse than the most professional camera, because of the control of the angle and speed, it even gives people a very strong shock.

So when a shot was finished, Zhen Fan gave Gary a thumbs up. Controlling the drone aircraft is very important, but letting the drone control and shoot according to your own wishes is the hardest part. The déjà vu of Gary shooting from the air is far more shocking than ordinary Hollywood movies, and it also lies in his control over drone shooting. Even so, the picky Gary and Bit continued to shoot repeatedly to select the best shot.

On the second and third days, the three women, Christine, Yifei, and Fei Bingbing seemed to be crazy, shopping desperately. If you get the same one, just give a few more and let them choose by themselves.

Zhen Fan felt speechless seeing more and more things piled up in the room. However, all three women seem to be enjoying themselves a bit. But fortunately, the shooting in Algiers will be completed tomorrow, and then the crew will go to the Sahara Desert in the En'Ajar plateau. For this desert trip, many people are full of yearning and curiosity.

However, on the night when the filming was completed, Zhen Fan invited all the crew to dinner. Zhen Fan has done this kind of treat several times, of course the crew will feel very happy. Gatherings are typical Algiers local flavors. There are small Arabic rice, grilled lamb chops and so on. (To be continued..)
