Chapter 2802 Notes

"Hello, Mr. Chen, I am the director of this filming crew, Faroui Lessende."

"Hello, Mr. Skelley has told you, right?"

Farui Lessende is a bearded man in his sixties, but he doesn't look too old.

On the contrary, there is a kind of vigorous energy.

He is the director of the outdoor filming team hired by SC TV this time.

The entire filming team is the personal property of Faroui Lessende.

They have filmed many documentaries, exploration programs, and won awards.

There is also an exploration program, which once won the annual ratings championship of the exploration program that year.

So they are quite famous in the industry and are a very professional filming team.

Inviting them to film twelve episodes of an exploration program named "Lost Civilization" cost Chen Zhao US$7.5 million.

There are a total of twenty-five people in the filming team, each of whom has their own area of ​​expertise, including the host.

"Lost Civilization" is divided into twelve episodes in total, and three episodes are one unit.

The first unit is naturally a desert island located in Mexico.

The island is called Gondu Island. A few decades ago, some indigenous tribes from Mexico still existed.

However, due to the harsh environment and lack of supplies on Gongdu Island.

Therefore, the indigenous tribes on the island either moved to the nearby coastline or died of old age on Gongdu Island.

Residents on the nearby coastline also spread some legends about Gongdu Island.

A few people of the older generation have lived on Gongdu Island.

They belong to the group of people who entered civilized society directly from primitive society.

Therefore, they still retain many customs and legends from the tribal period.

Of course, their shooting plan was to first interview the old people who had moved inland from Gongdu Island.

Then go to Gongdu Island to shoot some content, and then do some further processing.

They are exploration programs, leaning towards science and education, but they are definitely not real science and education programs.

In fact, the core is still an entertainment program, so it is natural to add some specious legends and supernatural interpretations.

Anyway, it’s just cultural processing, which is to verify certain legends in a non-scientific way.

Chen Zhao, on the other hand, set off with the team and went to Gongdu Island with the filming team.

In Chen Zhao's own words, it is the hobby of rich people.

Of course, in order to compensate the team, Chen Zhao gave the team $500,000 in personal compensation.

The money was given directly to Faroui Lessende.

In this team, Faroui Lessende has the absolute right to speak.

So it is still necessary to have a good relationship with him.

"Mr. Chen, although I have never been to Gongdu Island, my preliminary research sent people to nearby coastal settlements and communicated with the villagers. It is said that the environment on Gongdu Island is quite harsh, and there are a large number of venomous snakes and crocodiles, as well as There are many dangerous natural environments, so we are not sure what emergencies we will encounter. Even if we are a professional team, we cannot give you any guarantee. It is best for you to be mentally prepared before setting off. "

"Of course, I understand that I have participated in many exploration teams, from Africa to the Amazon to various waters of the Caribbean, leaving my footprints. Although I am not a veteran, I at least have some experience. I will try not to It's holding back the team," Chen Zhao said politely.

Facing Farui Lessende, Chen Zhao did not act aggressively.

After all, I have a cooperative relationship with him, and he is not my subordinate.

"Then I wish us smooth progress." Faroui Lessende was quite satisfied with Chen Zhao's attitude.

Moreover, since Chen Zhao has experience, there is no need to worry that he will make some rude demands during the process.

Farui Lessende has actually encountered this kind of person in the past.

He once met a star who was participating in a shooting project in the wilderness.

That star was not even an A-list star, but he kept making things difficult for the filming crew and holding them back.

"Mr. Chen, do you have anyone accompanying you?"

"No, it's just me."

"Well, that's good. Also, you need to prepare some equipment yourself."

"You tell me, I'll write it down."

"Thick rain boots, gloves, a set of field clothes, a thermos, flint and steel, a saber... Of course, if you feel necessary, you can add a semi-automatic pistol and a few bullets."

"is this necessary?"

"Generally speaking, it is not used, and our team actually has a certain amount of armed forces." Faroui Lessende said with a smile: "But for most amateurs, firearms can calm people down. of."

"Okay, but can firearms be brought through customs?"

"I can't bring it with me, but Mr. Chen should be able to find a way to get the firearms in Mexico."

"Want to bring food?"

"We have compressed food."

"Isn't game allowed?"

"Wild meat has many uncertain risks, such as the diseases it carries, the difficulty of handling, or its own dangers, and the supply cannot be guaranteed, so a filming team like ours needs to Try to avoid contact with game as much as possible. Once a member of the filming team is infected or injured by a wild animal, it will be a big trouble for the filming team. Delaying the filming progress is still a small problem, but more often it will cause the team to suffer. Had to face a lot of legal troubles.”

"Can I bring my own food?"

"Mr. Chen, it's best not to bring them by yourself. If you bring non-compressed pasta and meat, you will only increase the burden on yourself, and your burden will often become the burden of the team. You said that you will not cause trouble to the team. , so it’s better to avoid some things beforehand.”

"Okay." Chen Zhao shrugged.

"Tomorrow's three o'clock flight, an hour and a half flight, we will arrive at the coastal village where we will shoot in the evening. My people have already inspected that village in advance. It is considered a good leisure area. There is a small resort hotel there. , Mr. Chen can take a day off at the resort hotel, and we need a day of shooting material in the village.”

"good."

In fact, Chen Zhao had already inspected the village beforehand.

It is indeed a good leisure area.

Even compared to those resorts it is not much worse.

It’s just that there are no supporting public facilities and the scale is much different, so it is not well-known.

Then Farui Lessend explained many things to note.

Faroui Lessende's expertise does not lie in how much he knows about safety matters.

But his attitude is always based on prevention.

In almost all dangers, he takes steps to prevent them from happening, rather than how to deal with them after they happen.

If it weren't for the fact that Chen Zhao and he had nothing in common, Chen Zhao would have wanted to recruit him.
