Chapter 1270 Mental Preparation
The crew set up camp and started filming. Bit was used to Zhen Fan's disappearance again. So from the beginning, I tried my best to let the three heroines catch up with the show. After that day, Bit was obviously in a much better mood, and he adjusted himself without any psychological discomfort or shadow.
There was a big scene shooting in the desert, but not many people followed, most of them were staff members, so it was very important to find extras from the local area. Fortunately, Beeter had already prepared for these. When he was in Algiers, he left staff to recruit extras. After the filming of the three leading roles is completed, the extras will rush over. This saves time as well as money.
A hundred dollars a day for extras is quite attractive in Algiers. However, when Beeter learned that the staff had only recruited about fifty people in Algiers, he still seemed a little worried. What can fifty people do? The remuneration is not low, it can be said that it is a lot of wealth in this country, but why is no one doing it?
"I really don't understand why those people don't want to make money when they have money? It's such a strange country, it's really incomprehensible." Thinking of this, Bit couldn't help complaining to Gary. He is the director, so he can't vent his complaints directly. Give it to your own staff, it will affect morale. In the absence of Zhen Fan, he could only complain to Gary.
"This is already very good!" Jia [f, ... Li laughed, "Our trip this time is like a death trip, the locals must have heard about the robbers here, so they have concerns That's right. Who wants to risk their lives to make money?" Gary patted Bit on the shoulder, "It looks good now. There are at least fifty people who are willing to die for a hundred dollars a day. So... If It’s not that you’re poor and crazy. Or you’re desperate, no one will do this.”
Gary is quite right. But it was because what he said was correct that made Bit extremely depressed. Fifty people obviously couldn't make any big scenes. Of course, if CG technology is used, it is possible to do it, but Bit's movie The signature is authenticity... Since the signature is authentic, CG technology cannot be used, this is Bit's principle. Because once exposed. Viewers will think it is cheating.
"Well, since this is the case, we might as well double the price, two hundred dollars a day, as long as three hundred people are enough." Bit gritted his teeth and said, "Three hundred people, you can shoot me a large war Is there a scene?" He asked Gary unwillingly, originally thinking that many extras would be easily brought in. I didn't expect to hit a wall here.
"Three hundred people are enough. But I'm worried that not many people will be able to come after 300 people. Although your price has been doubled, some people must think, you have to spend the money, right?" Li shook his head, "Why don't we spread the word about killing all the robbers this time?"
"Definitely not!" Bit shook his head.
"Speaking of such things, we will only fall into a passive position. So many people have died, even if they are all damned robbers. Everyone has committed heinous crimes, but we are not judges. And...you What are you going to say about the reason for their death? Is it because we used extremely advanced weapons, or did we spit at them? Come on. This... Even if you can’t recruit people, you can’t recruit them for such a reason. Don’t tell Zhen If I get into trouble, I'd rather pay more!"
Galli also sighed and said: "I hope there will always be someone who loves money without fear of death."
While the two were worrying about the extras, Zhen Fan had already left the camp and appeared on the road alone. He wrapped his head and face with a cloth, only his eyes were exposed, and he was wearing a long gown. He looked like an Arab Dressed like a human, he stood on the side of the road and gave a thumbs up when he saw an off-road vehicle galloping on the proposed road.
"Hey, someone wants a ride!" The driver was a little black guy, and he said to Ibn Rashid beside him, "Shall we take him for a while? Anyway, we are going in that direction!" A little enthusiastic, I looked at the person with the thumbs up on the side of the road from a distance.
"Don't make trouble for me, Amar, just drive honestly. If he is still here when we come back, we can take him for a while, or send him a special trip. Now think about it...here But in a place full of robbers, this person is alone on the road, will there be any problem?" said Ibn Rashid, who was sitting next to the driver Amar, and then picked up the AK submachine gun from his side and pulled the gun. Slowly put the bolt on his thigh, as long as the situation is not right, he can pick up the gun to shoot at any time.
"You're too careful, Iben!" Amar smiled, and stepped on the gas pedal to pass Zhen Fan who was getting closer, but it was his big gas pedal, and the car suddenly moved forward. After running for a while, the engine rang a few times, then the speed slowed down, and it slowly stopped on the side of the road.
"My God, damn it, why did it stop all of a sudden. The engine... there's something wrong with the engine. Damn it." Amar couldn't help cursing, and he finally parked the car on the side of the road , then jumped out of the car cursingly, reached the front of the car, opened the cover of the front of the car, a puff of black smoke came out immediately, so that he quickly dodged, took a few breaths on the road beside him, and then he calmed down .
And Ibn Rashid also came down with a submachine gun. He looked around vigilantly. There was no place to hide and no one could be seen, so he focused all his attention on Zhen Fan. He was full of vigilance, as long as Zhen Fan made any unusual moves, he would shoot without hesitation.
"Hey, do you need help?" Zhen Fan said loudly to Ibn Rashid, but what he spoke was not Arabic or French, but English. As he spoke, he walked towards Eben.
Eben can understand English. Since the other party is speaking English, it is impossible for him to be a local. It looks like an Arab. This makes Eben even more vigilant, so he shouted loudly: "I'm sorry, sir. , we can handle it by ourselves, just stand there and don't come over." He said and raised the submachine gun in his hand.
Zhen Fan really stopped, and he said loudly to Eben: "I know, I know. But... what I want to say is that last night, there was a big fire here, and I could see the flames rising into the sky from a long distance away. So today I came to see if I need any help. By the way... I am a car mechanic, if I can, I can help you fix your car!" Zhen Fan tried to approach again.
"Hey, Eben, he said he could fix cars. Why don't you let him try it?" Alma whispered to Eben, "He's going to the place where the fire happened anyway... oh my god , Where is he going? To the place where the fire engulfed Som Brody yesterday?" He also raised his head and looked towards Zhen Fan.
"Yes, I knew that the situation would definitely not be as we thought. I always feel that this person really... makes me feel very uneasy. Maybe the fire has something to do with him!" Ibn Ra As Sid said, he walked towards Zhen Fan with a gun, "Raise your hands, buddy, we don't have any malicious intentions, just want to make sure if you have any malicious intentions towards us, as long as you don't have a weapon, I will Let you repair the car. Wherever you want to go, I will take you there." At this time, Ibn Rashid had already made a decision.
"Okay, I will." Zhen Fan raised his hands, then slowly turned around and said with his back to Ibn Rashid, "I don't mean anything malicious, and I don't even know why you are so wary of me, I am not A local, I come from the United States, my name is Bruce Zhen, and I am looking for my companion."
"Americans? I'm sorry, I never knew there were Americans here. Turn around..." Iben pointed his gun at Zhen Fan, then ordered him to turn around, and started searching his body from behind him. , but he didn't find the weapon, so he nodded, stepped back a few steps and said, "Okay, buddy, turn around."
Zhen Fan turned around, then pulled down the cloth covering his face, and said, "No, my friends must be here. They have sent an alarm to the country, that is, they are in danger and may need a ransom. God knows, They are a group of archaeologists, how can there be a ransom? They are all poor!"
"An archaeologist?" Eben frowned, then looked at Zhen Fan, raised the gun in his hand, "Dude, you are really unlucky, I hate archaeologists the most. Well, now I have to wrong you , raise your hand, I have to take you back. You better be honest, Alma... tie this guy up!"
"Oh, no, Eben, our car hasn't been repaired yet!" Amal shrugged his shoulders at Iben's embarrassment, and came up with an idea, "Why don't we let this guy repair our car first, Then we will escort him back, anyway, the guys who made the movie will not leave for a while. Shall we come over and have a look?"
Ibn Rashid thought for a while and said, "Okay, you're right." Then he waved the gun in his hand, "Hey, buddy, you don't look like an American. Worrying about Yankees? Come here, fix our car and I'll take you to your people. Honestly...I don't like Americans very much. Are you...Asian?"
Zhen Fan smiled and said: "I'm not an American, I just got a green card after going to the United States from China. But the people I'm looking for are all archaeologists, and they don't involve politics or politics. munitions, so...they are completely harmless to you, I can tell, you overpowered them, didn't you?"
"Come on, you'll know, it's not what you think, we only kidnap, if they don't violate us, they won't rape them. Come on, man... This is what we do, you fix the car, I send you Go. As for how to deal with it, it depends on our boss, so you'd better be mentally prepared!" (to be continued...)
