War Photographer's Notebook

Chapter 227 Nikolai's postman job
Driving back to the studio, Wei Ran sent the gifts from his hometown to the aunt next door. By the way, he also arranged for Ralph to live in the room upstairs of the travel agency. Then he went back to the studio alone and locked the shutter door.

After brewing a pot of tea brought from his hometown, Wei Ran carefully recalled his experience in the Lapland battle, and described everyone's conversations and some trivial details that happened in the past in as much detail as possible. Knocked into the computer.

As for whether the script can be made into a movie with a group of amateur actors as Noah expected, he has no expectations at all. If this matter is really that simple, it may have been filmed long before the disintegration of the Soviet Union. It's simply not the turn of these people to daydream.

But no matter what, after all, the conditions offered by the other party are not bad, even if the matter turns out to be wrong in the end, I will not lose anything at all.

It took half a day to compare the memory scenes with the script left by Kenon, and recorded all of them in a journal.

Looking at the sky outside the window, Wei Ran hesitated for a moment, then simply took the stack of pictures provided by Ralph and an extra list he made and left the studio, drove straight to the east bank of the Volga River, and found Mr. Alexander, who farts every day, and Professor Alexis, who is tired of working for him.

When he explained the reason for his visit, Professor Alexi curled his lips and mocked, "Victor, is this German guy named Noah you're talking about crazy? This is a waste of time."

“Really a waste of time”

Alexander nodded in agreement, and then picked up the stack of pictures on the coffee table and Wei Ran's list, "As for the things the other party needs, most of them can be found in my museum, but the two and a half cars Tracked armored vehicles are hard to find, at least not in my museum."

Wei Ran sighed when he heard the words, "It seems that there is really no other way."

"Young man, don't give up in a hurry."

Alexander took a sip from his coffee cup and said with a smile, "Why don't you let that Ralph you mentioned come over and meet me? Or I'll meet that old gentleman named Noah, if he can Meet some of my needs, maybe I can help him solve the troubles he faces, including those two precious half-track armored vehicles."

"I'll send Ralph over here"

Before Wei Ran took out his mobile phone, Alexander said to the manager Federer who was standing aside, "Go and get Mr. Ralph."

Manager Federer nodded upon hearing this, turned and walked out of the office.It wasn't until this time that Professor Alexei reminded, "Alexander, this kind of thing is not as simple as you think."

"It's not as troublesome as you think." Alexander confidently picked up the original script brought by Wei Ran and shook, "And the story is good, even I am looking forward to the effect of putting it on the screen."

"Do you still want to play a few roles in it?" Professor Alexey asked jokingly.

Unexpectedly, Alexander said seriously, "This Doctor Jason, or this character called Marka, is very suitable for me, isn't it?"

"You really want to be an actor?" Alexei's eyes widened.

"why not?"

Alexander spread his hands, and waited for Wei Ran to put down the phone he had just hung up before continuing, "According to what Victor just said, they don't have professional actors at all. Since everyone is not professional, why can't I? Let's talk , In Ukraine, a comedian can be the president, why can’t a Russian businessman be an actor?”

Professor Alexei grinned, "Bless the Emperor, Alexander, did you drink secretly just now?"

"I'm not like you"

Alexander laughed loudly, picked up the stack of pictures on the table and Wei Ran's handwritten list and handed it to the former, "Okay, Professor Alexei, before that young man comes, go to our warehouse and Let’s take a look at the museum to see what we have, and also count what we still lack. Maybe by taking this opportunity, I can enter the film and television industry.”

"Anyway, it's not my money that was burned." Professor Alexei muttered in Chinese that the former couldn't understand, and pulled Wei Ran, who was watching the excitement, out of the office.

It wasn't until the two entered the museum that Professor Alexei said angrily, "Victor, you can really cause trouble."

"What kind of trouble is this?" Wei Ran said nonchalantly, "I don't need to do anything, if I succeed, I can gain both fame and fortune, and it will be a good thing inside and out, isn't it?"

"Not troublesome?"

Alexey looked Wei Ran up and down with mocking eyes, "You will know how stupid this whimsical idea is then."

"None of my business!"

Wei Ran stopped in his tracks, took out a beautifully packaged box from his backpack and stuffed it to the other party, "Sui Sui asked me to bring you a gift. Also, to remind you, she also gave my aunt a breathalyzer, you steal it It’s best to be careful when drinking, as long as you blow a breath, you can be detected, and your knees will be there.”

"To shut up!"

Professor Alexey tore open the gift box angrily, and when he saw a set of beautifully packaged tea sets inside, he immediately became beaming again, "It's Aurora who knows me and gave me a set of Chinese wine sets .”

"Don't pretend to be confused, it's for tea."

Wei Ran took out a bucket of tea leaves and two knee pads from his bag and stuffed them into the opponent's arms, then rubbed his knees and gloated and reminded, "Sui Sui bought the tea for you, and I bought the knee pads for you, come on, Professor ! There's only so much I can help you with."

Ignoring Professor Alexey's ever-changing expression, Wei Ran, who couldn't hold back his laughter, ran away in a hurry.

As for what kind of talks between Ralph and Alexander, who smelled the smell, after he was invited over, he didn't care at all.Anyway, he has almost prepared the script that is like a running account, and he can take it out at any time after the other party has negotiated, and let Alexander have a headache for the rest of the trouble.

After driving back to the studio, Wei Randa lived a life of going out of the gate from the day he came back. He stayed in the studio steadily, reviewing what he had learned at the Hongqi Forest Farm, and even He didn't even rest on May [-]th, Victory Day.

Although their main learning task in the next half month is just to fly a fixed-wing aircraft, Wei Ran has a hunch that after this part of the course is over, the monster teacher Dalia will definitely give them a lesson in what they have learned before. Systematic inspection of the field.

In case they fail to meet the other party's requirements by then, the lightest punishment is probably going around the Hongqi Forest Farm with the silicone dummy in their arms.Anyway, just because Ji Ma can afford to lose that person doesn't mean he is also shameless.

After a week of intense and fulfilling study time, on May 5th, when he replaced the anti-tank gun in the metal book with the ammunition he had purchased separately, he replaced the precious original version that "comes with the gun" Before the ammunition was locked in the safe and ready to drive to the airport, Nikolai, who hadn't seen him for a while, approached the door with an old-fashioned leather briefcase.

"Are you going to Inta?" Nicholas asked slowly.

"What's the matter with Mr. Nicholas? I have time to leave tomorrow." Wei Ran bent down and opened the shutter door that had just been locked, beckoning him to come in.

"I can't waste your time"

Nicholas put the briefcase in his hand on the table, "Victor, remember when we first met, you said you were a postman?"

"Of course I remember." Wei Ran responded with a smile, but he couldn't help but think of the Don River 19th position, that kid running in the trenches with a postman bag on his shoulders.

"How about getting another job as a postman after you finish your month's course of study?"

Seeing that Wei Ran nodded without hesitation, Nicholas slowly opened the briefcase, took out a copy of Leo Tolstoy's "Confessions" and pushed it in front of Wei Ran, and then handed over another to write Hold the card with the address, "Send this book and this card to the address on the card together, and hand it over to a person named Kajianka. He may need you to bring back some things, and may need Pay him something."

Wei Ran picked up the "Confessions" and looked at it. This book is only the size of a Xinhua dictionary. Although it can be vaguely seen that the binding is extraordinarily exquisite, the hard cover has serious signs of wear and tear. It seemed that there was still some blood stains, but it might be that too long time had passed, and the blood stains had oxidized and turned dark brown.

Putting down the book, he picked up the card with only the address written on it and looked at it. The address on the card was extremely detailed, but it said "Vienna" at the beginning.

"When this month's course is over, I will send it there for you."

Wei Ran put down the card and asked, "If the other party asks who asked me to send it, what should I say? Also, how can I be sure that the other party is the Kajianka you mentioned?"

Nicholas shook his head with a smile, and replied very positively, "Don't worry, the other party won't ask. As long as you don't find the wrong address, no one will pretend to be Kajianka."

"Is there anything else I need to do?" Wei Ran asked again.

"As long as these are enough, oh, I almost forgot, don't let Karp and Dalia know about this, don't let them see that card, and that book."

After speaking, Nicholas stood up and walked slowly outside the studio.It's just that when his body passed the rolling door, he stopped and reminded, "The other party may give you some small gifts, and you can accept them at that time. But no matter what excuses the other party uses or how enthusiastic they are, they still have to give you some gifts." Don't eat anything from him, not even a glass of water."

"good"

Wei Ran, who chased him out, swallowed subconsciously, and suddenly felt that the postman's job was not so easy to do.

"Don't worry, this is just a job as a postman, there won't be any danger." Before Nicholas finished speaking, he had already walked towards the travel agency next door. Seeing his enthusiastic appearance, it was obvious that he was preparing to Went for a meal.

Wei Ran didn't pick up the "Confessions" on the table until the other party walked into the travel agency with a hearty and full of laughter. Unfortunately, although the book looks shabby, it is extremely clean inside. It seems that it has not been turned over at all.

After thinking for a moment, he put the business card in the book, then locked the shutter door, and drove straight to the direction of the airport.
