World-class directors in the entertainment industry

Half an hour later...

"[Mad Max] first scene, first shot..."

"action..."

Nicholas put on a worn-out outfit and wore an iron cage around his mouth. He sat in the car and immediately started the car and drove over slowly following an order from the other side.

Stop the car before a downhill road, open the door and get out of the car.

Facing the yellow sand in the sky, I stretched out my hands towards the bottom of my belly...

...

Photography is a very boring but interesting thing.

Nicholas and Charlize both showed why they were able to win the Oscar for Best Actor and Best Actress. They studied the script carefully and the early filming went smoothly.

It basically happened all at once throughout the morning.

At noon, three food trucks arrived from the direction of Phoenix.

Two of them are for food and one is for drinks.

There are so many deserts, why Qin Dong chose this place? This is the reason.

Although the filming location is in the desert, you can't really live in the desert. At least you have to think about food and accommodation in advance.

After much selection, Phoenix, a city built in the desert, caught my eye and was successfully selected.

Phoenix is ​​located in the desert. The city is surrounded by desert. As long as you book a hotel on the edge of the city, you can travel back and forth every day without wasting time.

Being so close to the city, you can get your daily meals and drinks with just a phone call.

"OK, during lunch time, everyone should put down their work."

At the end of a scene, Qin Dong picked up the loudspeaker and shouted.

This kind of film using foreigners cannot be the same as domestic films, everything must be punctual.

One place, one requirement.

There are eight hours of shooting time every day. When it’s time to eat and rest, you have to eat and rest.

If you work more than eight hours, you will have to pay overtime, and the overtime pay is much, much more than the normal work fee. If it is not necessary, no one is willing to pay overtime pay.

There are many labor unions among foreigners. If you don't pay attention, a labor union will immediately come to the crew, and the entire crew may stop working.

Qin Dong didn't know much about this, but after having Martin as his agent, this aspect was also mentioned.

The Animal Protection Association, the Children's Protection Association, the workers' union, the actors' union, etc. If there is a problem in any aspect, various so-called unions may come to visit.

"Chairman, there are two cars outside the crew. The people in the cars have been observing the crew. According to observations, it looks like local gangs came to find out."

During lunch, Zheng Dajun came to Qin Dong and whispered in his ear.

"oh..."

Qin moved his eating movements for a moment, then continued to take a mouthful of rice, chewing it slowly and swallowing it into his stomach, and then gave instructions in a low voice:

"Army, let the brothers in the security department put weapons on their bodies and tell them that outsiders are not allowed to approach the crew. If there is provocation or if something is wrong, there is no need to talk nonsense. Shoot as soon as possible to ensure your own safety.

, I will be responsible if something goes wrong."

"Okay, Chairman."

When Zheng Dajun heard this, he immediately left with a smile on his face.

This kind of thing must be decided by Qin Dong.

They all have weapons, because Qin Dong has already asked Martin to help find a security company and obtain a certificate here that he can carry weapons, which is legal.

Without these, Qin Dong would not worry about taking his company's security department and hiring it from outside. In a country where every household has a gun, if the bodyguards around you are not snatched away, if you want to shoot a movie in the wild, there will be trouble.

.

...

A few days later, in the middle of the night,

Three black bulletproof cars took the lead, two buses followed, and finally there was a bulletproof car. The six vehicles lined up and finally returned to the entrance of a hotel on the edge of Phoenix after darkness fell.

"Director Qin, the restaurant has prepared dinner for you."

The waiter at the hotel door came to me immediately. This has been the case every night for the past few days.

"Um."

Qin Dongke casually nodded his head, took out an old man's head from his body and handed it over, leading people into the hotel without stopping.

In a place like this for foreigners, everything seems to need to be consumed.

You must pay for your meals, and many times when people come to help you park your car, you have to pay for it. Of course, it doesn’t matter if you don’t pay for this kind of parking, it would be stingy.

"Everyone, go to bed early. I don't want anyone to delay filming tomorrow morning."

After dinner, Qin Dong gave a habitual reminder, and then led people upstairs.

These foreigners are used to having a lot of nightlife, and marijuana and the like are legal in many states here, and accidents are inevitable if you smoke too much of this stuff.

What's more, in a society with guns, it's normal to drink too much, cause trouble, and maybe get killed.

"Hello, director."

Just when Qin Dong walked out of the restaurant, he was blocked by someone. The people who came were a group of people wearing foreign police uniforms. The white middle-aged man at the head smiled and said hello, and then took out an ID from his body:

"I am the police chief of the local South City District of Phoenix. My name is Nicosa Sabres."

Qin Dong took the certificate and glanced at it casually before handing it back. He didn't know the authenticity of this kind of certificate at all. He just made a show and asked calmly with squinted eyes:

"Chief Nicosa, is something wrong?"

"Excuse me, director, I also received a complaint from someone, so I came here to take a look."

Nicosa said with a smile, and glanced at the one or twenty bodyguards behind Qin Dong, especially the waists of these bodyguards.

"Someone said there were people illegally holding guns here, and there were a lot of them, so I had to come and take a look."

Qin Dong nodded calmly after hearing this and asked:

"We have legal gun ownership procedures, so Sheriff, and then..."

Qin Dong didn't bother to ask who made the report, it didn't matter whether it was true or false.

"..."

Nicosa's smile faltered, but he didn't expect Qin Dong to say this. He paused before continuing:

"Director, I checked, and it is indeed as you said, you have legal procedures for holding guns."

"It's just that this is Phoenix, I am the local police chief, and I have to consider the safety of local residents."

"Phoenix is ​​a safe city. We welcome directors filming here. We also ask you to believe that your crew is safe in Phoenix."

"If possible, why not ask your bodyguards to be smaller and try not to carry too many guns? This will bring serious physical and mental insecurity to the local residents."

Qin Dong still nodded cooperatively:

"Okay, your suggestion is very good."

"So, Chief Nicosa, can you please help your local residents reduce their guns? Can you confiscate the local gang guns?"

Nicosa frowned:

"Director, citizens have the right to own their own guns. Our police department has no right to confiscate them, so I am requesting and suggesting to you, not confiscating them."

Qin Dong put his hands in his pants pockets and looked down slightly at the so-called police chief of a certain local branch:

"Chief Nicosa, I wonder if you have seen some news."

"What news?"

"In your country, many Hollywood crews are often threatened by gangs when they are filming in your country. These news have been happening since the last century until now. Have you heard about it?"

Qin Dong spoke slowly and calmly, as if chatting about family matters.

"...It did exist in the last century, but now there are very few. My country has always cracked down on gangs."

Sergeant Nicosa's expression changed, and he paused before speaking, and finally expressed it with an upright expression.

"Maybe."

Qin Dong smiled for the first time at this time. He looked at the five or six police officers brought behind him, scanned their faces one by one, and said with a smile:

"Then I hope Sheriff Nicosa better warn your local gangsters."

"Tomorrow I will bring in more security personnel and equip them with more weapons with greater firepower."

"If there are any more local gangsters who keep wandering around outside my crew and observing like they did in the past few days..."

Having said this, Qin Dong patted Nicosa's arm, whose face turned serious:

"Then I think Chief Nicosa, you will definitely be on the news here in North America. Congratulations to you for becoming famous."

"Good night, Sheriff."

After Qin Dong finished speaking, he was polite on purpose, and then led the people to walk upstairs to the hotel.

"Sheriff, I..."

A police officer waited until Qin Dong left and wanted to say something.

"Shut up, collect the team, and go back."

Nicosa immediately stretched out his hand to stop his men's words, and walked out with an ugly expression.

"Army."

At the same time, Qin Dong, who was waiting for the elevator at the hotel elevator door, was not idle either.

"Chairman."

Zheng Dajun took a step forward, lowered his head slightly and approached Qin Dong.

"Send some brothers over from home, and I'll ask Martin to prepare more weapons for you."

Qin Dong thought of Sergeant Nicosa just now, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he gave instructions in a low voice.

"Understood. I'll make a call later and ask my comrades to fly over immediately. Are fifty people enough? Chairman."

Zheng Dajun couldn't understand foreign languages, so what did Qin Dong say to those foreign policemen just now?

But it's not important. From Qin Dong's instructions, Zheng Dajun understood something and answered immediately with a straight face.

"There's no need for so many, just bring in twenty more people."

Qin Shake shook his head. There were already twenty or thirty bodyguards around him. If he transferred another fifty people, then it would not be the branch director looking for him, but the CIA and FBI.
