travel starts with photography

Chapter 242 You're welcome, friend, I'm a good person
When I left the hospital and walked back from another road with the bodyguards, I passed by their rich area.

In fact, from Chen Xing's point of view, the houses in the wealthy area are at most a little higher in floor, and they feel like half-repaired country villas. The wall design is too ugly, but it may also be the tradition of Africans.

Bobo pointed to a building in the distance and said, "Boss, that's your Chinese embassy."

Familiar red flags.

Against the background of some low houses around, the Huaxia embassy looks extraordinarily majestic.

Most of the houses in Sudan’s capital are about four floors, and there are few high-rise buildings. However, the urban planning is very good. The roads are horizontal and vertical, and they are relatively wide. But if there are more green plants, it will look better.

But such a cost would be too great.

Most of the country in Sudan is still a desert, plateaus and basins, the forest coverage is pitifully small, and the fertile land is basically occupied by South Sudan.This is very interesting. Sudan is a country in the desert zone, while South Sudan is an inland country with tropical rainforests, grasslands and swamps.

In Africa, they are the poorest.

It has only been ten years since the founding of South Sudan, and there are still some shadows of America in it.

They are also really peace-loving.

These two brothers are still fighting so far, so after tourists come here, don't go to the junction.

Back at the hotel, Livebold was sitting on the first floor reading a book. When he saw Chen Xing coming in, he immediately said with a straight face, "Chen, you don't keep your promise!"

"What credit?"

Chen Xing was confused for a while, did I promise something?
"It was agreed that the two of us would go out together to find excitement, why did you go alone?"

"..."

Hearing what he said, Chen Xing was a little speechless, and I didn't say to go out with you...and I went to meet fellow villagers, so what's the matter with a foreigner who can't speak Chinese?

"There's nothing to play, don't you think I'm back?"

Leftbold was originally joking, but after hearing Chen Xing's words, he smiled and said, "That's true, it seems that there is no prey you want in that hospital, otherwise you will definitely not go back to the hotel tonight. "

You guessed wrong.

The female doctor was very good-looking, and the two girls who came to travel were also good-looking. If Manman hadn't broken her leg, or there was only Azi alone, Chen Xing would definitely have done it.

He had no idea about Dr. Tang at all.

He still has great respect for volunteers who come to such a poor environment.

Moreover, there are not many good girls in China.

Speaking of girls, Song Shulan sent him a message on the way back just now.

This year's college entrance examination, which was postponed for a month due to some things, ended yesterday. Song Shulan sent Chen Xing a WeChat message as soon as she got her phone, explaining what she was doing these past few months, and expressing her thoughts in a very friendly tone.

But even if she didn't post these messages, Chen Xing would still be able to guess.

After all, it was the sprint stage of the college entrance examination. With the character of the principal, he would never let any external factors disturb the students' study.

Leifbold suddenly looked around and found that there was no camera crew behind him. He hooked Chen Xing's neck and said, "My friend, I found a very good bar. Let's go have a drink?"

Sultan's bar?
Chen Xing was a little moved. He had been to bars in China and bars in Europe, but he hadn't seen what bars in Africa looked like.

"is it safe?"

Leftbold said: "It's just on this street, and the bodyguards of this hotel are obliged to protect us. We can call one to act as a guide and translator for us. Let's go, I only call you for such a good thing."

Bobo, who followed Chen Xing all the way, just went to drink a glass of water, and when he came back, he saw a Frenchman holding five Sudanese pounds.

Otherwise, how could I come to this hotel as a bodyguard? These foreigners are too generous!
"Where do you want to go?" he asked in English.

"Of course it's a bar!"

During the few hours when Chen Xing went out, he had already figured out the place, but if Chen Xing didn't come back, he wouldn't dare to go there alone.

This kind of thing can only come to Chen Xing.

Ford is very close to the professor, and has a bit of an honest personality. Lefebold dare not take this to the bar for a drink.In case he told the professor, and then the professor mentioned it to his mother, he would have to peel off his skin if he didn't die.

The distance is really close, it only took 10 minutes to walk there.

However, the scene inside disappointed both Chen Xing and Leftbold, almost all of them were locals.

Neither of them had much interest in black girls.

But it's all out, so sit down and have a glass of wine before going back.

The environment inside the bar is relatively dark, the music is played loudly, black singers are singing on the stage, and the people who come to drink sit on the seats with misty eyes, which are exactly the same as those in domestic bars.

Not for girls, how many men are willing to come to the bar to consume?
Chen Xing and Leftbold found a place to sit down and ordered a bottle of beer each.

"What did you see when you went to the hospital?" Lefebold asked curiously, after all, this was their work for the next few days.

"It's the same as a normal small city hospital. The difference may be that this hospital has eight doctors who came to support from the top hospitals in China. The patients and other medical staff in the hospital respect them very much."

"What? Is Professor Nobel crazy?" Livebold was surprised, "Isn't this a complete Chinese hospital?"

Chen Xing looked up at him, and Leifbold put away his surprised expression, and explained: "I don't think there is anything wrong with it, but the Sudanese documentary that French TV invited a professor to make, and there are too many foreigners in it, isn't that right? not too good?"

"Maybe the professor has his own considerations, and it has nothing to do with us. After all, this is the real Sudan, isn't it?"

The two were chatting about their future shooting plans, but suddenly a figure appeared in front of them.

At first neither Chen Xing nor Leftbold noticed. When he spoke, both of them were startled... As I said before, in order to create an atmosphere, the light in this bar is relatively dim, and many black people in this bar It's like wearing an invisibility cloak.

And the sound of the music is also loud, and it doesn't sound like footsteps.

He said, "Two foreign friends, may I sit down?"

Leftbold shook his head and said, "Excuse me, do you have anything else to do?"

"Foreign friends, my name is Karl, and I am the tour guide here. I can take you to see the most beautiful scenery in Sudan."

Both Chen Xing and Leftbold felt that this person was suspicious. Besides, they came to Sudan to do business, so how could they have time to travel?He rejected the black man's request.

"No need." Chen Xing said.

"You're welcome, my friend. I'm a good guy. Actually, I have a better idea, you know? There's a magic drug in Africa that can make you feel better than ever. For a little money, no, no, I can give first for free..."

Before he finished speaking, Bobo grabbed his collar and pulled him up.

He was sitting three meters away from Chen Xing and the others. When he saw someone strike up a conversation, he didn't care at first. He just listened carefully to what this person wanted to say to the boss.But seeing Carl take out the small bottle, Bobo acted immediately.

Carl's waving hands knocked down the beer on the table, which attracted the attention of many people in the bar.

"What do you want? Let me go!" Carl said.

"I don't care who you are, if I see you approaching these two gentlemen again, I will swell your face, understand? This is a guest of our Abdul Hotel!"

Chen Xing wanted to leave early to avoid any trouble.

But Lefebold is very interested in this good show. Life in Africa is so boring, and it is hard to come across such interesting things. How could he leave?
Moreover, even if they are taken away, they are not afraid, they are right in this matter.

The guide in the film crew is also a very powerful person in Sudan, which gave Lefbold a lot of confidence.

Karl's eyes widened when he heard the Abdul Hotel.

Who knew that these two foreigners were guests of the Abdul Hotel.

This is the best and safest hotel in Sudan. The background is very hard, but at the same time the charges are very expensive.

You can all live in this kind of hotel, what grade, the same bar as me?

Knowing he's in big trouble, he starts begging for mercy.

"Boss, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it," Carl said. "I just wanted to make some money. I didn't want to hurt anyone."

At this time, the owner of the bar came over. He already knew about it from his subordinates. Hearing Carl's sophistry, he snorted and said, "You make money? Do you know what you are doing? You are bringing disaster to this country !"

They spoke in Arabic, and Chen Xing and Leftbold couldn't understand them, but they could understand the general meaning from their actions.

Chen Xing guessed that the person who interrupted suddenly was the owner of this store.

Sure enough, he quickly said to the two of them in English: "I'm sorry to have frightened you. I don't charge you for your consumption in my bar today. My name is Ali. You are welcome to travel to Sudan..."

Chen Xing and Leifbold looked at each other.

"What are you going to do with this guy?" asked Leftbold.

"To the police, of course,"

"No! No! Don't! Mr. Ali, please forgive me. I promise I won't do anything like this again, please let me go! The police will kill me!"

Sudan's judicial system is opaque, bribery is serious, and he himself does not have much money. One can imagine what a miserable life he will encounter after entering prison.

I knew I wouldn't have troubled these two foreigners!
He cried bitterly and wanted to hug his thigh.

The boss looked a bit unbearable, but under the gaze of other people in the bar, he kicked Carl's hand away mercilessly, and said, "Why would the police kill you? It's nothing more than going to jail."

Carl's face paled with horror.

Seeing that the boss didn't mean to protect himself, he stood up and wanted to run, but within a few steps, Bobo stuck his neck.

These bodyguards are very strong.

Chen Xing thought.

The two of them chatted about their own topics. Watching the Sudanese police come here to deal with this matter, it was like watching a very refreshing script killing. After seeing the villain being arrested, I don’t know what Lefebold thought, at least Chen Star is cool.

The best time to sell this kind of thing is at noon, otherwise something will happen sooner or later.

It was getting dark, and Chen Xing and Lefebold walked out. Lefebold was very excited, and said in the tone of a lawyer in a French TV series: "Any crime will be brought to justice! I didn't expect the law and order in Sudan Not bad."

Bobo said: "They are afraid of Mr. Abdul. You live in his hotel and you are also protected by him."

"Abdul?"

Chen Xing had never heard of this name before, and asked, "Who is he?"

"Mr. Abdul is the biggest gangster in Sudan, but this was many years ago. Now he is a philanthropist and entrepreneur, and the hotel you stay in is his property."

Leftbold nodded knowingly, and said, "No wonder the guide said that the hotel has the ability to protect us. It's really capable."

After returning to the hotel, both of them tacitly didn't mention this matter, they just said that they went to a Muslim restaurant for dinner.

The next day, the filming officially started.

In the second half of the filming, Chen Xing was also promoted to be a member of the main filming team, responsible for controlling a high-power aerial camera that was just delivered.

Drone shooting is now very common. From the former military to civilian use, drones were quickly used by the photography community to replace expensive helicopters as a means of aerial photography, and quickly became the best means.

So it is said that good drone pilots earn a lot of money, which can be seen from here.

No matter how high it is, it is not as expensive as renting a helicopter.

There are not many aerial shots that can be used in hospitals, but in order to have more aerial shots in the documentary, Nobel returned to his old job and took the crew to Sudan National Park to shoot many wild animals from high altitude.

He wants to use these shots to map various transitions in the documentary.

Ford was watching the whole time.

Chen Xing's stable control of the drone made him more and more sure of his thoughts.

When work was over and Chen Xing was about to go to the cafeteria to eat, Ford stopped him and said, "Chen, my good brother."

Chen Xing shuddered inexplicably, folded his hands and asked, "What do you want to do?"

"Do you remember my previous proposal? Animals in Africa are migrating now. The whole world has not used the camera to fly through the animal migration. We can be the first, and we can create a new way of shooting. .”

"Shooting through the machine? Isn't this already there?"

"They didn't come to Africa, and they don't have your technology...Chen, don't you want to see it? Millions of wildebeest, zebra, antelope and other animals migrated from Tanzania to Kenya in search of food and water. This kind of scene can only be seen in Africa, we went on a trip and shot a 40-minute documentary by the way, it was very simple."

"A 40-minute documentary?"

"Yeah, there is no requirement for how many episodes there must be in a documentary. We just shoot scenes of animal migration. I have thought about the lens and copywriting. The only thing missing is a photographer."

Chen Xing heard that it was only 40 minutes, and he no longer hesitated before.

"That's fine. You said you would only shoot for 40 minutes."

Chen Xing thought he was going to make a feature film, it would be too time-consuming for Chen Xing, he didn't want to stay in Africa to bask in the sun, but before he left, he would definitely go to see the Great Migration, otherwise it would be in vain .

Isn't that what matters in the interior of Africa?
