War Photographer's Notebook

Chapter 226 A group of laymen preparing to make a movie
Throughout the May Day holiday, Wei Ran, who was stuck to the ear like a fart, basically stayed at his grandma's house in Baiyangdian and didn't go anywhere.In addition, he did not find the opportunity to remove the medal hidden on the beam by his great-grandfather Han Shoutian in the end.Not to mention finding a suitable opportunity or excuse to show the negatives in the metal book to the elders of the two families.

But on the other hand, he has also noticed in the past few days that Sui Sui, a noisy little thing, has been testing his psychological problems with his grandparents these days.From time to time, I even found some psychological tests from the Internet and dragged him to do them together.

Obviously, during the Chinese New Year period, I had some abnormal emotional state, which made these relatives and friends always think about it.Fortunately, although I don't know if the tests that Sui Sui got are reliable, at least those gaudy test results show that they are normal, which somewhat dispels the other party's worries.

Like being fed to pigs by the elders of the two families, they were kept in captivity with all kinds of delicious food until the last day of the May Day holiday, and it was time for Wei Ran and Sui Sui to be slaughtered.

The two drove back to Cangzhou and had a meal with their parents who were busy with work before boarding the high-speed train to the capital together.

"When will you come back next time?" Sui Sui was riding a huge suitcase full of various snacks, while slipping out to school, she asked Wei Ran who was sending her back to school.

"It's probably the end of the year." Wei Ran, who was pulling the other two suitcases, responded while looking at the scenery on the campus.

Sui Sui kicked hard, let the suitcase slide forward and out a long way, and waited for Wei Ran to catch up, and then said, "After you go back, discuss with that quarter horse to see if there is anything worth playing in summer, wait During the summer vacation, I will bring some classmates there to earn some pocket money by the way."

"Xiamen?" Wei Ran thought for a while, then shook his head, "Let's talk about it later, you just want to make money before you graduate?"

"Isn't that?" Sui Sui raised her chin triumphantly, "Do you know how much I earned by sending my classmates there during the winter vacation!"

"How much did you earn?" Wei Ran asked curiously.

Sui Sui became more and more proud, "Anyway, if I earn another summer vacation, I guess I can buy a car by myself."

"How about I add some for you?" Wei Ran asked indifferently.

Hearing this, Sui Sui refused without even thinking about it, "I don't need it! Isn't it good for me to buy it with my own money? If you really want to help, help me think of places suitable for summer."

"I'll think about it later"

Wei Ran was too lazy to compete with this brazen gadget, so he sent it downstairs to the dormitory and gave a few instructions, then turned around and left with his luggage and went straight to the airport.

He originally planned to go back a few days later. After all, the course at Hongqi Forest Farm will not start until the 15th, and there is still a week in between. However, two days ago, Ralph from Germany sent him an invitation.

What surprised him even more was that the content of the invitation turned out to be that he was expected to serve as a historical consultant for the movie "For Friendship in a Snowstorm".Obviously, the other party was planning to shoot the script they found in the hunter's lodge.

In Wei Ran's view, the job of a historical consultant is not necessary, nor is he necessary.In other words, this is probably the old man Noah's kindness in return.

After understanding the key points, Wei Ran naturally had no reason to refuse. After reporting to Dalia, he set off for Volgograd as soon as the holiday ended.

While he was boarding the flight, Inta and Jima, who were still covered in ice and snow, were nestling in a steaming sauna room recalling the experiences of these days.

In the assessment a few days ago, after he parachuted, he followed the coordinates and successfully found the lead mining factory hidden deep in the forest, and then, not surprisingly, found a family of three who were making drugs.

Sniping the old hunter in charge of the guards from a long distance, kicking the door at close range and shooting down the couple who used drugs to make poison, using the torture techniques learned in Hongqi Forest Farm to force them to find out their hidden wealth, and finally blasting and demolishing the unscrupulous building. The eye-catching tube building, by the way, the corpses inside were blown up into pieces enough for wild wolves to eat in one bite.

All of this simply exceeded his expectations, and even the experienced old hunter he was worried about did not cause any disturbance.Even the banknotes he received in the end far exceeded his expectations.

Picking up a towel to wipe off the mist on the glass window, Jima glanced at the travel bag full of cash outside the sauna, and then poured a ladle of cold water on the steam stove irritably.

Anyway, he is an experienced hunter. He doesn't have the so-called sense of guilt and hypocrisy after killing people, but he can't help but worry about what to do if the police find him, where to run at that time, who will Help yourself, who will not help themselves.

Wiping the sweat off his face vigorously, Jima made a decision in his heart, even if it is to have a chance to survive when the police find him, he must earnestly learn more life-saving things from Teacher Dalia in the future.

On the other side, after a long flight, after Wei Ran successfully landed, he saw Ralph who was waiting in advance as soon as he walked to the pick-up gate.

"Victor, you are finally back." Ralph immediately breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Wei Ran, and eagerly took the other's suitcase.

"Ralph, are you going to make that script into a movie?" Wei Ran asked as he walked out with the other party, "I remember that script seemed to be a stage play?"

"It's not us. To be precise, it's the result of discussions between my grandfather Noah and Mrs. Tinia."

Ralph sighed when he said this, "And they tentatively decided to cast me as Mr. Carl, and Brother Andy as Mr. Conon. God, I don't know what they think. They let a German who can't speak Finnish Playing a Finn and having a Finn who only speaks Finnish playing a Russian. On top of that, neither me nor brother Andy, we have any acting experience at all.”

"Are you here to act?" Wei Ran asked in surprise, "No professional acting, no, no, what I mean is"

"I know what you're going to say"

Ralph explained with a wry smile, "Victor, making a movie is very expensive. Although my grandfather Mr. Noah is barely a rich man, he still can't afford that kind of professional shooting, let alone any Professional actors. Besides, this movie was made more purely to commemorate the precious friendship during the war, so..."

"I understand." Wei Ran shook his head, "What do I need to do?"

"It takes a lot from you"

Ralph followed Wei Ran into the off-road vehicle that the latter had kept at the airport for a long time, and said one by one, "The most important thing is the clothes and weapons used by those German soldiers, Finnish soldiers, and Mr. Konon, the Soviet Union. Question, although this movie is just a small-budget amateur production, we all want to make it as good as possible, so you need to guide these details.”

"Is there any more?" Wei Ran continued to ask after closing the car door.

"There is still a problem with the lines"

Ralph continued to explain, "As you just said, it was a stage play, and Mr. Conon's script was written as a comedy. But my grandfather Noah, and Mrs. Tinia I want to restore the history as much as possible, so I need you, an expert who is proficient in history, to help me correct the lines, so as to avoid some mistakes in time and space."

"Is this also the job of a historical consultant?" Wei Ran asked with a strange expression.

Ralph smiled, and replied with a bit of gloating, "Victor, although you are a Chinese, at present, except for you, anyone who is proficient in Finnish, German and Russian and is familiar with that period of history , we really can't find a second candidate, can't we?"

"Forehead"

Wei Ran grinned, whether it was costumes, props or lines, it was not difficult for him, after all, he had experienced it himself, and he could deal with it, but he had the illusion of being dragged into a thief's boat in a daze.

"Apart from these, is there anything else?"

"And then comes the hardest thing"

Ralph took out a stack of pictures from his bag and handed them to Wei Ran, "This is the real picture that Andy and I found based on the weapons mentioned in the script. But the picture is easy to say, but the real thing doesn't know where to find it at all, so You might need your help with this too.”

"this."

Wei Ran frowned after seeing the first photo, it was a half-track armored vehicle, this thing is not like those light weapons of WWII, you can find them anywhere, even if you want to find these things, it is difficult .

"Perhaps Alexander can find these things." Wei Ran murmured to himself, stuffing those stacks of pictures into the glove box, "When do you plan to start shooting?"

"Mr. Noah and Mrs. Tinia intend to start filming this winter"

Ralph replied, "It was filmed in that hunter's lodge. So before winter comes, we have half a year to prepare. In other words, we only have half a year to prepare."

"Why do I think this matter is so unreliable?" Wei Ran started the car and said while driving in the direction of the studio.

“Really unreliable”

Ralph broke his fingers and poured out bitter water, "The actors who can be determined are basically amateurs, and even the photographer and director haven't found suitable candidates. But those two children who are nearly two hundred years old together still insist on Wanting to turn that script into a movie, and even to raise funds, Mr. Noah is also planning to sell several precious oil paintings."

"old children"

Wei Ran muttered to himself in Chinese that Ralph could not understand, stepped on the accelerator and drove the car out of the airport. At this time, he no longer believed that the role of the so-called historical consultant was Noah's reciprocation. This is totally a hassle.

Fortunately, before Wei Ran could find an excuse for his refusal, Ralph immediately said, "Victor, I know this is very troublesome, and there is even a possibility that this movie will not be made at all. But if we can If so, please help us.

For this reason, my grandfather, Mr. Noah, is willing to give out 5% of the income after the filming of this film is completed, or [-] euros as a reward, and at the end of the film, there will be a separate thank you for more than ten seconds. "

Wei Ran nodded and did not speak, but slowed down the speed of the car a little, secretly wondering whether he could do what the other party asked for.
