Chapter 139

As for the money? That day, Yubaba had already exchanged interests with all the major forces using the medicinal bath quota!

These branches and forces had already made preparations!

He helped Karenina straighten her wrinkled clothes and whispered, "I admire Director Spielberg's skills very much. I believe his movie will be a huge success. His script must be very good, but it is good, and the tone must be changed to something from China. When the time comes, I will have to trouble Ms. Karenina to help lobby."

Karenina laughed in anger: "I am his assistant, not yours. I have no obligation to serve you!"

"But I pay you. My movie is worth 500 million now."

Amanozaki stretched out his hand, and his five fingers, which were stained with sauce and oil, were full of the smell of decadent money.

Kanna beside him reluctantly took a piece of rice tofu from the string she was holding and asked in a whisper:

"Want to eat?"

Chapter 158: A Meeting of the Winds and Clouds

Spiel Berg is an ambitious man. His works and name are similar to those of great directors on Earth, but they are definitely not the same person.

There is no Oscar, no Cannes, Venice, or Berlin Film Festival in this world, because the trend of personal heroism is rampant and movies have become an appendage of heroic culture.

Therefore, the prestige of international directors is not as hot as on Earth.

But Spiel Berg did not give up. Although he did not have the prestige of Spielberg on Earth, he was extremely sensitive in business sense. He had keenly sensed the prospects of online movies and the potential of the Chinese film market very early.

Only when movies have a market and income can directors have enough confidence to squander investors' money to pursue their own art.

He tried every means to attract investment, equipment, and actors to come to China to test the waters.

So when Karenina made those harsh demands, he did not put on airs, but politely refused, but the subsequent plot was difficult for him to understand.

He sat on the wooden box in the tent with gray hair, and beside him was a glass cup that was smoked yellow and very stylish kerosene lamp.

He bought this in the antique market of Huaxia under the guidance of the translator. He spent a full two thousand dollars to buy such a thing that was popular 50 years ago.

Of course he knew that he was cheated. The actual selling price of this thing might be reduced by 10 times, but he bought it out of interest and the need for scenery, and he felt that it was not a loss.

However, the facts still exceeded his expectations.

"Mr. Berg, this, the goods here are all sold by kilogram. This kerosene lamp is mainly made of tin, and there is very little copper... It is estimated to be only thirty or forty yuan."

Thinking of what the translator said to him during the day, Spiel Berg held the lantern-shaped kerosene lamp and smiled bitterly: "Huaxia, Huaxia, I really don't understand you."

The buzzing sound like a bee became louder and louder, and the tent began to tremble.

A member of the filming team opened the curtain, bringing in a strong gust of wind. The visitor was sweating profusely. "Berg! Suddenly, several helicopters and military vehicles came, saying they were here to pick you up!"

"I know."

Pisberg slowly put down the lantern and walked out of the tent that looked like a Western-style mansion and was decorated with various old objects with traces of time.

Then the scenery in front of him suddenly became clear, and the endless grassland and the blue sky filled the blue and green colors.

In one step, he entered the vast nomadic territory from the Western-style castle mansion.

Several transport helicopters with huge bellies were parked, and the soldiers stood in place with steel guns in hand, controlling the entire expedition team.

"Mr. Spielberg?"

A man with tanned skin, strong body, tough temperament, and blood came out, his eyes sparkling.

Spielberg nodded, "It's me."

"You should know, right?"

"I know." He looked around, and all the people under control were very scared. Their eyes changed when they looked at him, and their smile became more bitter. "It's already like this, what else can I do? Let's go."

Then he got on the plane first, and then he saw the whole team, under the command of the soldiers, filed into the transport plane.

"Equipment..." Spielberg looked at his collection abandoned on the spot and opened his mouth blankly.

The soldier answered in fluent foreign language: "Please don't worry, we have a special force stationed here, and we will block this place overnight and wait until your team returns before unblocking it. The loss of equipment will be compensated with the same items."

Spielberg leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes nervously.

"This is the first time to cooperate with China's official... I am the first person in a sense."

At the same time, planes and trains set off from all over the country, rushing towards the destination of the fleet. Karenina and the knights on the boat were all stunned to see the river suddenly bustling, and they were at a loss for a moment.

Soon, a speedboat with the sign of the Dajiang Water Affairs Bureau came over, and a girl in a bloated life jacket stood on the side of the boat, looking up and down with a pair of beautiful eyes, curiously looking at the big boat full of knights.

"The place where the knights live is similar to ours."

"Who are you looking for!?"

Across a railing, Kanna raised her head, and the little horns on her head swayed back and forth, very happy.

"I'm looking for Miss Lin Shuyu." The girl was only a few years older than Kanna, only about thirteen or fourteen, and the two of them asked and answered each other, which was very compatible.

The same scene was happening on the other side of the boat. Lin Shuyu did not show up, but asked Amanozaki and the knights of the organizing committee to receive her on her behalf.

"What on earth is it? Why are there so many?!"

Amanozaki put the large and small boxes on the deck with his hands on his shoulders, his whole body covered in sweat.

Kangna laughed and chased the fisherman girl in front of her. The two of them were playing hide and seek in the gaps between the boxes on the deck. They were laughing so much that the children on other fishing boats were envious.

"It's all film equipment, camera trucks, tracks, professional cameras, life-saving equipment and mobile communication base stations, as well as professional photography equipment mounted on drones."

Amanozaki pointed to the military drone in the cabin: "Aren't these things good?"

Lin Shuyu shook his head: "Military equipment emphasizes stability, followed by resolution. Computers can filter to assist in judging targets, but when making movies, the clearer the better. Spielberg is a well-known director and has very high requirements for equipment. It’s different from live streaming, you have to use a big guy.”

"What about the ships?"

"The cargo ships and fishing boats hired by the Dajiang Water Conservancy Bureau are used for group performances. The things on them are weapons and ammunition, which are provided by the security forces of Yanlong Consortium and Jiuxingshan Real Estate. Larger weapons need to go through the procedures of the capital, but we I couldn’t wait any longer, so I organized civilian weapons under the guise of security exercises.”

Civilian weapons... Amanozaki was numb. He looked at Oe, who was quickly busy, and spread his hands:

“What exactly are we going to film?”

"It's a movie!" Lin Shuyu shrugged and said matter-of-factly, "Didn't you draw the storyboards?"

"But I don't want to prepare so many ships and weapons!" Amanozaki said frantically, "What I want to shoot today is the scene where Kangna fights the fish monster, and I will use new characters to make up for the daily scenes tomorrow!"

"Oh, this."

Lin Shuyu lay on the railing, "Everyone thinks your script is not exciting enough, so we decided to add some other plots."

"What the hell! When we signed the contract, it didn't say that the employer had the right to change the script!"

"Yeah, that's right."

Lin Shuyu nodded, and then picked up Kangna who was playing from the gap in the box, "But Kangna doesn't think it's fun either. She wants to add more ingredients. Do you want to refuse?"

Kangna saw Amanozaki's doubtful eyes and raised her hands excitedly: "I want to eat the queen fish! I've already eaten the others!"

Looking at the high-spirited Kang Na, Amanozaki sighed helplessly: "Okay, even if we want to film the scene of hunting the queen fish, where can we find it? We are still in the waters of Dongting Province, and we can't do it until tomorrow at the earliest." To get to the next province.”

"It's okay." Lin Shuyu showed a meaningful smile, "Who do you think was the first to say that your script is mediocre?"

The propellers of the military transport helicopter stirred up water mist. Amidst the roar of the powerful engine, a huge helicopter landed steadily on a tugboat, pushing the entire ship to the dangerous waterline.

A white man with gray hair was supported by a soldier and got off the plane with a pale face. There was excitement in his tired eyes:

"Hey! Karenina! I watched the video, it's great! Where is the dragon! Take me to see it! Now!"

Karenina put down the rice curd, wiped her mouth quickly, and greeted her charmingly.

Helicopters all over the sky lowered their ropes, scattering soldiers one by one like seeds.

Lin Shuyu patted Amanozaki on the shoulder and said sincerely: "Every provincial government said that your script is very good. The only shortcoming is that the little family is angry, and it looks like China has no money and no one, and it cannot show our spirit. "

"Didn't you draw the vertical painting of "Neon Genesis Evangelion"? It's on that scale. There are no tanks. These ships can be built casually. The shipyard under the name of the Oe Water Bureau has promised to replace the damaged ships with new ones. These fishing bosses and cargo bosses are all counting on you to trade in old ones for new ones!”

Amanozaki looked at the turbulent situation and murmured to himself:

"I have never fought such a rich battle in my eight lifetimes!"

Chapter 159: Shoot, you can shoot anything!

Karenina brought Spielberg to Amanozaki. As soon as the old man saw Amanozaki, he couldn't bear to speak in foreign languages:

"Sir, I heard that the dragon in the video is your superpower, and it can only last for one day. It will transform into something else at 12 o'clock tonight at the latest. Is it true?"

Amanozaki waited for two seconds, and after Karenina put headphones into Berg's ears and the translator translated quickly, she nodded: "Yes."

"Then we have to move faster. Karenina said you have a storyboard in your hand. Where is it? Take it out!"

Berg said this with the temperament of a great director, and his tone was full of no doubts.

Such a rude tone made Karenina frightened. She looked at the boats passing by on the river and the various weapons propelled on them, as well as the Wudang knights in white clothes walking on bamboo poles. She was afraid that she and Berg would meet in the next second. The angry Amanozaki asked someone to kill him, so he quickly walked up and used his plump breasts to penetrate the two people talking.

But before she could speak, Amanozaki had already taken out the manuscript and handed it over.

He himself can barely be considered an artist. He once took over the urgent needs of Party A. He knows how much pressure it puts on the creator at this time. Comparing his feelings to his own, Amanozaki is not dissatisfied at all.

The manuscript paper was flipping, and in about ten minutes, Berg had quickly finished flipping through the storyboard manuscript:

"Very smooth plot and scenes."

Berg frowned and said, half sighing and half troubled: "It's as if you had already seen the finished film and then copied it."

Nonsense, Amanozaki thought, this manuscript of mine is copied from the dragon scenes in He is a Dragon and A Song of Ice and Fire, and the story outline is from Kobayashi's Dragon Maid, all ready-made, isn't it extremely smooth?

"But with such good resources, you are going to make such an ordinary movie?"

Spielberg frowned even more, obviously very dissatisfied:

"You have the support of a state machine, and you have a dragon that can move freely and cooperate with the performance, and you can see the effect immediately. I don't know how much time and money you can save for special consumption and waiting for the film, and the result is a story about the crew scooping up a giant egg, hatching a dragon, and then raising the dragon with the crew?"

"Are you trying to explore the harmonious coexistence of humans and animals and promote environmental protection?"

Amanozaki's face twitched.

"No, of course not." He explained somewhat embarrassedly, "At first I thought we would shoot it ourselves, with another lady and I acting as director and screenwriter. Because we are all novices, we plan to shoot a simple and warm movie to test the waters."

"That's why you need me and my team."

Spiel Berg held his chin high, his old face full of pride: "Throw away your script, your resources deserve a better story."

"But the battle scene only lasts less than a day, even if I try my best to extend it, it can only last until dawn the next day."

Amanozaki glanced at the data under the horizon, evaluated the stock of magic gems in his hand, and made the biggest concession.
