Chapter 170: Charter
South Africa, Cape Town Port, Duncan Cargo Port Basin Area.
Police lights flickered outside the barbed wire gates of the port, a fat black policeman leaned against the hood of the engine and smoked, and another car with flashing police lights slowly drove up to his side and stopped.
"Santos, are you on duty in the port area tonight?"
"Not really, but I've heard that Hollywood studios are coming here tonight to make a movie." Santos, a tall, thin sheriff in the port area, said, "I'm here to try my luck and maybe see a celebrity, but I don't care, my daughter would love to get an autograph." ”
With that, he threw the fat policeman a cigarette and said, "How many people are on your mobile patrol tonight?" ”
The fat policeman took the cigarette, lit the fire, and took two puffs of smoke and said: "As far as me and two other colleagues are concerned, this kind of small matter doesn't need many people to come, and you and I are just responsible for peripheral security tonight." ”
The two were chatting energetically, led by a Chevrolet SUV, followed by a luxury bus and five large container trucks, rumbling towards this direction.
"Parking! Stop the car! The fat cop picked up the baton and ran to the door waving it to stop the convoy.
A white man in a black suit jumped out of the car, walked up to the fat policeman, and handed over the pass and formalities in his hand.
"Officer, I'm the manager of Emerson in the port's outreach department, this is our pass, these cars are in for the set, the actors and directors have arrived, the better it will be to start filming tonight to catch up, please let them pass."
The fat policeman flipped through the formalities and found no problems, and the stamps from the port management company to the municipal department and the police station were very complete.
"The handwriting of this document is not very clear......" The fat policeman muttered to himself, turning over a few pieces of paper in his hand and looking at it again and again, "Hollywood is going to make a movie tonight, and the director has explained that you must be cautious and do not allow any mistakes......
Emerson was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood the fat man's thoughts, just wanting to get some oil and water, in recent years, ordinary police officers in South Africa have become more and more black.
"Martin, what are you doing!" A policeman in a white uniform got down from the SUV, and judging by the rank on his shoulder, the rank was not low.
He scolded as he walked, "Hurry up and let the crew pass!" I'll let you guard the suburbs and pick up cow if you're delayed! ”
The fat man's name turned out to be Martin.
When Martin saw his boss in white uniform, he immediately withered, changed his face and changed his expression, nodded and said, "Good evening, Director Daniel...... I just ......"
He looked at the few passes and documents in his hand, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead, "I'm just worried that there are some bad people mixed in, you know, Hollywood stars come here to film, there will always be some gossip paparazzi who sneak in and shoot secretly without knowing whether they are alive or dead......"
"You son of a bitch! Have you ever seen a paparazzi driving a container car to take a candid photo? Director Daniel saw through Martin's trick and scolded: "Why don't you hurry up and open the door?" ”
He looked at his watch, which was obviously a new purchase, a Rolex Oyster gold watch, "If you lose time, you can wash your fat ass and honestly go to the suburban police district to sit on a cold bench!" ”
Martin hurriedly ran to open the door, and as he opened it, he thought, this Director Daniel still had a Longines watch yesterday, and today he got a new Rolex gold watch, and you don't have to guess who gave it to you......
Director Daniel turned to an old man with messy hair next to the car and smiled flatteringly, "Mr. Christian, you can go in." ”
This old man is none other than Professor Christian of Skydore, but at this time he has another name - a producer at Warner Bros. in Hollywood.
"Thank you very much for your help." Christian waved to the convoy behind,
The long motorcade rushed in, kicking up a thick cloud of dust, and Martin, the fat cop standing by the door, fanned his nose with his chubby black hand in disgust, as if a fly was flying under his nostrils.
"Mr. Christian, do you need us to send some more men in to strengthen your guard?" Daniel thought of what Martin had just said, that the paparazzi from the gossip magazines might really be able to get out of anything, and these guys would even like to have a needle-eye camera in the toilet when the celebrity goes to the toilet.
"Thank you so much Director Daniel for your great support, but I don't think it's necessary, after all, we are shooting a big production, and this time the company is very serious, and it is intended to be released around the world as the highlight of the next year, and it is also intended to be a major investment in the Oscar race, so we don't like too many people to go in and watch our filming process, you know ......."
Christian smiled slyly, with a businessman's shrewdness, "There are a lot of people. ”
Daniel's face turned into a smile, I heard that it was such a big production, and it was a great honor to be able to meet it, he pulled his belt that seemed a little saggy because his belly was too big, twisted two palms the size of a fan, and a pair of small eyes flashed with envy: "Big production? Can I ask what movie stars will come? Can I go and ask for an autograph? ”
He suddenly found that he was so anxious and a little ugly, coughed twice, took the official frame of the director, and said with a serious face: "Actually, it was my neighbor's daughter who wanted it, and the current child ......."
"I understand, I understand." Christian said: "Don't worry, this play is Arnold. Starring Schwarzenegger, others had already followed the bus into the filming site just now. Don't worry, when this scene is finished, I will ask him to take a handwritten photo and have someone send it to you. ”
"Good, good!" Daniel nodded, but he couldn't help but be a little disappointed in his eyes, "I don't know what movie you made this time...... What is your name? Can you tell us about that? ”
"Have you seen True Lies?" Christian asked, "It's the shootout film starring Arnold, and this time it's the same director." ”
"Take a look! I'm a fan of his! Martin interjected, shouting like a little fan, "The director is James Cameron, oh my God, I love his movies!" ”
"By the way, it's James who is the director, and this time it's filming "True Lies 2", which is the sequel to the first part." Christian said with a serious face, and the Hayabusa on the passenger side of the Chevrolet SUV almost burst out laughing.
No way! I didn't expect this usually sloppy old man to tell a lie, Arnold Schwarzenegger, James Cameron, why didn't he even take Tom Cruise in together.
"Producer, I'll look around the venue." Hayabusa couldn't help but laugh and got out of the car with the big black bag with the special Barrett sniper rifle on his back, "I'll have to find the gaffer, and I'll have to arrange where they will land when the helicopter comes in later." ”
"This is ......," Daniel remembered that he had just forgotten to ask who this little Russian fat man with eyes was in the car.
"Ah......" Christian was stunned for a moment, "Drama, this is our drama, just run errands and do chores." ”
He turned around and waited for a smiling Hayabusa, "Go, you slacker!" ”
"Helicopters coming in later?" Daniel couldn't help but ask.
"Of course, this is a big production, tonight is a shootout scene, terrorists want to transport nuclear warheads at the dock, commandos arrive and have a shootout with the enemy, and the male protagonist has to rescue the heroine who was kidnapped by terrorists, this is a main drama!"
"It's really a rare big investment, big self-made." Manager Emerson helped on the side, "Duncan Cargo Port Pool Area has been contracted by Warner Bros., tonight's scene is set in CMC, and their company has agreed, Warner is worthy of being a big company, not only has a good remuneration, but also has purchased a huge amount ......of insurance, even if it is blown up to the ground tonight, there are people who pay for it."
Christian muttered to himself, CMC's documents are fakes, you can't even see it. Hell if the Atlanteans could agree to the Morians raiding their branch.
But he deliberately diverted the topic and said: "I still want you to do a little favor tonight, Director Daniel, we have a few scenes of a scene that we need your cooperation, we plan to shoot a scene right here, here at the door where the police help the commandos evacuate the crowd, I think Director Daniel, you can play in the primary colors in it, I don't know if you want to be an extra?" ”
"Me?" Daniel heard that he could be on camera, and he was also the police chief in the acting, he was like he was excited to win the jackpot, and he didn't want to ask anything anymore, so he lifted his trouser belt and said: "No problem, I'll immediately transfer more people to cooperate, and I will definitely play until you are satisfied......"
