War Photographer's Notebook

On the night when Mr. Charlotte came to visit, Suisui, who had already returned to the bedroom, also experienced from Wei Ran the hardship and joy of "a little separation is better than a new marriage".

"what happened to you?"

After the wind and rain stopped, the panting Suisui asked feebly while holding Wei Ran, who was also panting.

"Not satisfied?" Wei Ran asked deliberately to make a joke.

"Change the subject." Suisui rolled her eyes, "Is something wrong?"

"Charlotte hopes that I can go to Antarctica to see with my own eyes the body found by Matthew's parents." Wei Ran answered truthfully while holding the girl lying in his arms and looking at the ceiling.

Hearing this, Suisui asked bluntly after a brief silence, "Will there be danger?"

"It's not dangerous, but it will take half a month to go back and forth." Wei Ran once again answered this question from another angle.

“If you don’t want to go, don’t go.”

Suisui turned over and lay on Wei Ran's body, and gave her advice close to her chest, "Since the problem lies with the corpse, just let the corpse disappear together with the ice crack."

"What do you mean?" Wei Ran asked curiously.

"Blow up that crevice and bury the body."

Suisui replied irresponsibly, "Mr. Charlotte is planning to go to Antarctica, I believe this kind of thing will not be too troublesome for him.

Anyway, as long as it is buried deep enough, what if there is a secret in the body? I don't believe that an electrician can dig out that body by himself in Antarctica.

In other words, as long as the body is not dug out for a day, the electrician who planned to kidnap Matthew will not be able to do anything even if he knows the location of the body. "

"Why didn't you say this this afternoon?" Wei Ran asked, dumbfounded.

"If you hadn't told me just now, how would I have known what your plans were?"

Suisui rolled her eyes, "Besides, I think you can go. Not only can you go, but you should go in an upright manner."

"Going in a big way?" Wei Ran raised his eyebrows.

"You have to match the personality you showed when the kidnapper contacted you."

Suisui, who had a proud expression on his face, was quite excited to watch the excitement, "A well-known historian suddenly wants to go to Antarctica during this season, and he will try to find a way to reveal that he may have discovered the nugget. Just let it go." With a hundred hearts, this big news will definitely cause a sensation, and we can even ask Mr. Charlotte to arrange for some reporters to go back and shoot a mock documentary."

"What's the end?" Wei Ran simply sat up and held the girl in his arms and asked.

"As long as the reporter is ours, we don't have the final say on the final result? And there must be people who like to read this kind of subject matter. Maybe the cost of going to Antarctica will be paid by then, and we can make a lot of money!"

Suisui said proudly, "Didn't you always say that the workmanship of that sword was wrong? Then through this documentary, we can completely prove that it is a fake sword."

"so."

Before Wei Ran could finish speaking, Suisui continued, "So I've already thought of a name for the documentary, and it's called Nazhi Soldiers Searching for the Antarctic Continent!

The result was well thought out. In the end, the soldier's body was not found, and the conclusion was drawn that the sword provided by the mysterious client who entrusted you was fake. There was no brittle weapon in Antarctica, let alone a flying saucer and what was that called? "

"211 base?"

"No, that core."

"Nacky clock?"

"Ah yes!"

Suisui snapped her fingers proudly, "In the end, it was proved that there was no 211 base, no crispy bell, no flying saucer, and even the broken sword was a fake."

"So this is it."

"This is a great popular science documentary, recorded by Time Film Studio, with the personal participation of the well-known scholar Mr. Victor!"

Suisui easily hammered the final nail into the coffin of this matter, "Aren't you just worried that someone would use that body to make news about Najib and bring trouble to Matthew's parents?

Then start the hype first. Even if the electrician finds the buried body, you can accuse him of fabricating it to disprove your documentary.

As the saying goes, if you spread rumors first, you will lose your legs if you refute them. In this kind of thing, whoever spreads rumors first will take the initiative.

Hum! I still don’t believe it! An electrician is better at spreading and refuting rumors than a historian plus a movie studio and the hacker organization in the hands of our card girl! What's more, there is a rich British man and a rich French woman behind us! "

"You are such a genius!"

Wei Ran kissed Suisui's pink little face hard, "What reward do you want? Can I bring you a penguin to raise and play with?"

"How about one more time?" Suisui offered more realistic conditions, and then she was picked up in a hug in exclamation.

Not to mention that the two of them were literally racking their brains that night. Early the next morning, the two of them and the Katenka sisters boarded two armored civilian vehicles, taking Mr. Charlotte, who had drank a lot last night, with them. , and the rich woman Kouko who was also a little drunk, and even Matthew, Monica and Taxi rushed to the Red Flag Forest Farm. Only Aniya, who had not yet gotten up, was left holding the quilt and dreaming sweetly.

At this time, Teacher Anna was the only one in the forest farm. As for Culp and others, they were busy filming the escape of criminals from the Soviet labor camp in the Arctic Circle.

After everyone temporarily handed over their electronic equipment and walked into the hall of the main building of the forest farm where the graduation ceremony had been held for Wei Ran and Jima, Suisui stepped onto the podium without hesitation and explained the cause and effect as well as her thoughts in a crackling manner.

After she finished speaking, not to mention the emotion on Anna's face, even the old guy Charlotte's eyes were widened with astonishment, especially in that complicated expression, there was a hint of admiration.

"Ahem, I'm done."

Suisui knocked on the table, but something else came out of her mouth, "I think this thing can make money, and it's short and quick, and the shooting doesn't need to be very particular. The main thing is to see Victor's storytelling ability and what we can do." Can't rush there fast enough.

Of course, the troubles I can think of are transportation issues on the Antarctic continent.

So among you, who wants to invest in this documentary?

Let me first say that as the leading actor, Victor must get at least 7.5% of the net profit. This is what I calculated carefully last night.

After all, he is the one who tells the story, and he is the one who bears the risk of public opinion. We can’t let him work in vain, right?

In addition, here I am, I will be responsible for online publicity, so I need a net profit of 4%, and I will need a cost of about 15 euros at the beginning.

"Aurora!"

After listening to Anfisa's translation, Kou Kou was the first to raise her hand and said, "I decided to invest. I don't know how much I can invest. Anyway, if you need money, just tell me. We can calculate it together in the end, and the profit distribution is up to you." of."

"I!"

Matthew, the second child, raised his little arm and shouted without giving Anfisa time to translate Kou Kou's words, "My parents have deposited about 80 euros in my account. I can take it." Pay half of it! After all, it was my parents who caused the trouble, so I don’t have to take the profit.”

"Mr. Matthew invested 40 euros, Kou Kou, is there any problem with you also investing 40 euros for the time being?" Suisui asked seriously after listening to Anfisa's translation.

"no problem!"

Koko said immediately after listening to Anfiya's translation, then turned to look at Wei Ran sitting next to her, and asked jokingly, "My financial parent, Mr. Victor, I should be able to withdraw it from my account." 40 euros, right?”

"Ask Mr. Sebastian about this kind of thing"

Wei Ran said in a dumbfounded voice that he had never cared about the Elk Foundation, and he was not a good parent.

"In this case, I'll just spend 40 euros." Mr. Charlotte said a little later. There was no way, Wei Ran was a little late in translating for him.

"It seems our starting capital is only 1"

"Aphroel, Tassie and I can come up with 20 euros."

Monica interrupted Suisui's fund-raising statistics, "These are all the deposits of the two of us. Just like Kou Kou, the profit distribution is left to you."

"Snapped!"

Suisui snapped her fingers after listening to Anfisa's translation, "In that case, we have it."

"I'll put together another 60 euros," Wei Ran interrupted Suisui as if he was stuck on purpose.

"No problem! Two million! Two million euros!"

Suisui tapped the table with her knuckles, and then looked at Anna with a smile, "Aunt Anna, now we plan to spend two million euros to shoot a historical science documentary. Will Time Film Studio accept the employment or plan to Invest in it?"

"Time Film Studio provides tracking shooting and post-editing. Also, where is our destination in Antarctica? Where are we planning to land from?

If there are Russian Antarctic research stations around, I can help coordinate some polar vehicles. How about the above as an initial investment for Time Film Studio? "

After a pause, Teacher Anna looked at Suisui strangely, and added, "Aphroral, it's up to you to evaluate the studio's investment value and distribute the profits!"

"My pleasure, Ms. Anna." Aurora pretended to change her formal title, and also gave her a retro European skirt gift.

After Wei Ran finished translating, Charlotte, who was already a little excited, immediately answered Anna's question, "In Enderby, the location where the body was found is about less than 200 kilometers inland from Enderby. "

"If I remember correctly, the Russian youth station is in Enderby Land"

Anna smiled and replied, "I will contact my friends who have worked at the youth station and ask if I can rent some polar transport vehicles from them. As a price, we may need to send some winter gifts to the youth station."

"no problem!"

Charlotte immediately patted her chest and made a promise, "I will rent an icebreaker, and that ship is in Ushuaia, Argentina. As long as we get there, we can set off at any time.

Although it is indeed risky to cross the westerly belt this season, the boat has a large enough helipad, which can at least ensure that everyone survives in a critical situation. "

"Is this your initial plan?" Wei Ran asked with a smile.

"In fact, I have already paid half of the rent."

Charlotte felt pained but said happily, "Thanks to Aurora, I even have a hunch that I can recover the cost and make a small profit through the investment I just made."

"We can discuss other details on the road. In addition, I will also calculate the boat rented by Mr. Charlotte as an investment amount."

Suisui on the rostrum made a fair and impartial guarantee after listening to the translation, and not surprisingly received repeated thanks from Charlotte.

"What a terrible girl"

Teacher Anna looked at Suisui on the stage and murmured in admiration, "Victor, you idiot, you should learn more from Aurora, she is simply a genius."

"A genius who fell into the eyes of money," Wei Ran said in a dumbfounded voice.

"Gentlemen, ladies, and children"

Suisui on the stage said with great aura, "Without further delay, there will be a flight tomorrow afternoon."

"Aurora"

Anna snapped her fingers, "Don't forget, we have a transport plane. Although it is not that comfortable, it is enough to take us to Argentina."

"Okay, tomorrow afternoon, we will take our own transport plane to Argentina. Of course, the cost of this flight is also considered as the studio's investment." Before Suisui finished speaking, Anfisa immediately began to contact the transport plane to notify the value. fly plan.

"You actually have a transport plane?"

After listening to Weiran's translation, Charlotte asked in astonishment, "What type of transport plane is it?"

"It's not ours, it's the transport plane of the gang I took you to the sauna with."

Wei Ran explained with a smile, "This is an IL-76, specially used to transport fruits, so the ride experience may not be too comfortable."

"A gang with an IL-76 transport plane? A small gang?"

Charlotte's eyes almost popped out of her head, obviously she had never heard anything so outrageous before.

"The bargains I bought from Ukeran," Wei Ran explained with a wink, "are unexpectedly cheap."

"It's still surprising," Charlotte couldn't help but say, "Is the fruit business so profitable?"

"It's not necessarily profitable," Wei Ran smiled, "but tropical fruits do have good sales in cold Russia."

"That's true." Charlotte shook her head dumbfounded, obviously still feeling a little untrue for a moment.

"Amphiya"

At this moment, Suisui on the stage flipped through her tablet and said according to the plan she had thought up last night, "The news has been released that a well-known historian has received a commission from a mysterious rich man and is preparing to go to Antarctica in the near future to find the missing Najib. Soldiers and the Nazi bell, the Nazi flying saucer and the 211th base."

"puff"

As soon as Anfisa finished translating this, Koko laughed, and immediately afterwards, teachers Charlotte and Anna also showed strange expressions on their faces.

In contrast, Taxi looked excited, "Victor, you finally believe that Antarctica really exists."

"Shut up! You idiot!"

Monica quickly covered Tassie's mouth with quick eyes and hands, finally preventing him from saying the stupid and heart-wrenching keywords that followed.

"no problem"

Anfiya responded happily while suppressing a smile, and then looked at each other without any trace of Monica who was not far away, and as expected, she saw excitement in the other person's eyes.

Obviously, the two Hela organizations, one overt and the other dark, are going to stir up trouble on the Internet again.

"Aunt Anna, the filming team at the studio is going to trouble you."

Suisui continued to arrange, "How about we meet at the airport tomorrow afternoon?"

"No problem" Anna responded with a smile, "Tomorrow I will bring the shooting team to meet you all at the airport on time."

"Next is Coco, Monica, Matthew and Tassie."

Suisui waited for Anfisa to finish translating, then asked, "Do you want to go with us? It will take at least half a month, and at most a month."

"Of course I want to go," Koko replied without thinking, then turned to look at Monica and the others, "What about you?"

"Can I see my parents?"

Matthew scratched his head, "In other words, do I have a chance to follow him to Antarctica? I have never been to Antarctica."

"I'm not sure you have the chance to go to Antarctica"

Suisui answered very seriously, obviously treating Matthew as a formal investor, not the cute little child with natural curly hair yesterday.

"I won't let you go"

Charlotte answered as a parent, "Matthew, how about I take you there when the Antarctic summer comes? Let's go pick up your parents."

“Is there pizza in Argentina?”

Matthew asked a new question and at the same time cleverly expressed his attitude of wanting to go, "Although I really want to go back to school, it's true, but I'm more curious about whether the pizza in Argentina is delicious."

"Who knows?"

Charlotte spread her hands and laughed and said, "Maybe there's the pineapple fruit pizza that Victor mentioned before."

"what?"

Matthew made a small chicken paw gesture, and his cute little face was already full of confusion.

When everyone had enough jokes about this cute little guy, Monica and Tassie looked at each other and said, "Let's go together. Going back to France or Italy at this time is not a good option."

"Then it's decided"

Suisui agreed, "Before we arrive in Antarctica, Kamei will do a good job in online publicity, and remember to come up with more conspiracy theories to attract enough attention.

We have enough actors to stage a failed kidnapping of a historian if necessary, let me see, how about in the name of Nazism? "

As soon as these words came out, except for Tassie who was a little out of sorts and Matthew who was still struggling with the pineapple fruit pizza, almost everyone had a tacit smile on their faces.

After all, the last time a historian was attacked was a big news.

If this time it is revealed that the front leg went to Antarctica to look for Najib's corpse and the mysterious 211 base, etc., and the back leg was kidnapped by Najib, it would be really full of effects and satisfy everyone's appetite.

After hastily confirming the itinerary and plans, Suisui finally asked Wei Ran, "It's your turn next. Tell a good story, a historian's version of a good story. Is that okay?"

"The time on the road is enough for me to think about how to tell a good story," Wei Ran said with a smile.

"Then it's settled"

Suisui handed the tablet to Anfisa behind him, and finally said, "Although we have sufficient funds this time, we adhere to the principle of large-cost and small production, and we must shoot a ghost-hunting documentary with a sense of reality, shaking lenses, and a weird atmosphere. , all kinds of conspiracy theories must be filled!"

"So is what we are filming a documentary or a pseudo-documentary?" Taxi, who was still a little out of sorts, asked blankly.

"A documentary disguised as a pseudo-documentary." Wei Ran smiled and helped answer this little question that even Matthew had already understood.

Without wasting much time, everyone came and went in a hurry, and left the forest farm again in the blink of an eye.

"Those two are your patients?"

In an office on the top floor of the main building of Hongqi Forest Farm, Anna stood on the balcony and asked without looking back.

"A social phobia, a mysophobia."

Gorman came over with a coffee cup and said with a smile, "I worked hard to cure them."

"I'll leave the housekeeping job to you," Anna said with a smile.

"Do not worry"

Gorman responded absently, then said, "Let April go with you."

"He's back?" Anna raised her eyebrows.

"He just came back from Kharkiv a week ago." Gorman took a sip of coffee. "He will like the Antarctic. He will like the bacteria hidden in the Antarctic ice."

"Then take him with you."

Anna said nonchalantly, "Please contact Galkin for me. He knows many people in Antarctica and ask him to help me get some transportation."

"no problem"

After Gorman agreed, he changed the topic, "Apora is a pretty good girl. At least in terms of business, she is more talented than the two idiots Victor and Jima, as well as Maya."

"It's true," Anna sighed, "It's a genius."

"What do you think about leaving it to her?" Gorman asked nonchalantly.

“It’s definitely an option to consider.”

Anna gave the same reply without any clue, "What do you think of Victor?"

"Don't worry, he has no right to speak on this kind of matter." Gorman said firmly, "Just after I crashed and died, right?"

"Then after you crash and die."

Anna lit a cigarette and asked, "Where is that idiot Jima?"

"Still busy filming the labor camp movie"

"Let him follow, no, we won't use him this time."

Anna said with a smile, "Gleva, let Greva follow and choose a few talented gangsters from his gang."

"No one knows how to play a gangster better than them."

Gorman agreed cheerfully as he fished out his phone, "They don't even have to have any acting training in this matter."

"I'll contact them right away" Anna had already taken out her phone before she finished speaking.

They hurriedly decided to shoot a documentary, hurriedly raised funds, and hurriedly started making detailed plans. These hurried tasks were destined to make Suisui and her friends feel extremely rushed throughout the day.

Compared to how busy everyone was, Wei Ran, who was about to go to the Antarctic, was once again idle after recording a phone call full of conspiracy theories with Mr. Charlotte.

Simply, he hid in the basement of the library again, preparing to take good care of the life-saving props in the metal book before setting off.

"You actually gave me this thing?"

In the studio with the door locked, Wei Ran picked up the extra roll of penguin down sleeping bag on the sleigh and the one-piece thermal insulation suit with sealskin reinforcements on the joints and buttocks and looked at it, and then he looked at it. Unexpectedly, he discovered that there was a metal mountaineering expert badge fixed inside the thermal suit.

Wei Ran smiled silently, unfolded the thick sleeping bag, buried his face in it and sniffed hard.

Fortunately, there is no smell of penguin feces in this sleeping bag, and there is no velvet loss.

"Thank you"

Wei Ran murmured silently, and after putting these things away again, covered them with waterproof canvas.
