The King of Directors 2000

Chapter 587 The Tyrande government attaches great importance to

When the temperature in Yanjing is only about [-] degrees, it is already [-] degrees in Tyrande.

There are no four seasons in Tyrande, only the rainy season and the dry season. The dry season has just begun at this time, and the weather will get hotter and hotter after that.

Fortunately, the tourism industry here is developed and the hotels are all air-conditioned.

Lee Sheng-yew brought the film crew and actors of "Three Billboards" to Bangkok, and then took a bus to a small town called Amphawa near Bangkok.

Amphawa is about 10 minutes' drive from Bangkok. It is a very beautiful and quiet town.

There are many centuries-old monuments in the town, a temple that is very famous in Tyrande, and a very popular floating market in Tyrande.

Zhang Manyu is a travel enthusiast and has been to Amphawa for a long time. When I heard that the filming location was Amphawa, she immediately said that this is a beautiful place with many attractions to visit, but it is not very safe. It is best for tourists at night. Stay in the hotel and don't go out casually.

Especially in the small town of Amphawa, there are many rivers. It would be terrible if you fall into the water if you are not careful.

Li Shengyao had long heard what the assistant directors in the early stage had said about Amphawa. Knowing that what Zhang Manyu said was correct, he reminded others that it was best to stay in the hotel during the break and not wander around.

Soon after, four buses from the "Three Billboards" crew arrived at the hotel in the small town of Amphawa.

Several assistant directors and a curly-haired man wearing gold-rimmed glasses were waiting for Lee Sheng-yao at the door of the hotel.

This curly-haired man is named Wang Haomin. He is from Wanwan. He owns a B&B in Amphawa and speaks Thai.

Because Wang Haomin is considered an "old man" here and knows all the local forces.

Li Shengyao wanted to chat with Wang Haomin to understand the local situation.

Soon after, Lee Sheng-yao put down his salute, and then sat on an open-air terrace behind the hotel with several assistant directors and Wang Haomin.

"Director Li, I have been living in Tyrande for the past ten years, but I also know about you. You are the pride of us Chinese people. You have made blockbusters in Hollywood and won two Palme d'Or awards. You are a real International director."

Wang Haomin's accent is not strong, and if you don't listen carefully, you really can't hear it.

When he mentioned "international director", it somewhat evoked some of Lee Sheng Yew's thoughts.

People in small places are like this. The smaller they are, the more they say they are big.

Just like the island country is the Big Book, the peninsula is the Great Cold Country.

Wanwan especially likes to talk about international directors and international superstars.

Zhuanzi also likes to say that he is big.

Li Shengyao smiled, exchanged a few words with Wang Haomin, and then expressed his thoughts.

Wang Haomin immediately patted his chest and said: "Director Li, just ask me. I have been here for more than ten years. Amphawa is my second hometown. I know this place very well."

"Okay, please give me some advice, Boss Wang."

Wang Haomin then picked up the tea cup, took a sip of tea, and continued: "If you are ordinary travelers, there is nothing to say.

Tyrande is a famous tourist destination all over the world. The old white man likes to come here to play, which is very convenient.

But if you are filming for two or three months, you should still be cautious. There are five things you should be careful about. "

Dapeng sat next to Li Shengyao and asked after hearing this.

Wang Haomin continued: "The first point is not to go to remote places. Most places in the town are very safe, but remote places are very dangerous.

It is close to Bangkok. Although the town is beautiful, there are actually many homeless people hiding there. These people may be Thailanders, Burmese, or white men. They wander around and do anything for money. out. "

Everyone nodded immediately.

There were many homeless people in the mainland more than ten years ago, but the number has gradually decreased in recent years. These people are indeed a factor of instability.

“The second point is that small town hospitals are terrible and it would be better to bring in a professional doctor.

If you have any discomfort and it still doesn't get better after five or six days of continuous troubles, it's best to go to Bangkok immediately. "

Most of Tyrande's hospitals are private, with wealthy people having their own doctors. Like small town hospitals, it is to be expected that they are unhygienic, unclean, and have poor doctors' skills.

"The third point is don't drink tap water, or boil it. It's best to buy enough bottled water at one time."

There have always been various legends about tap water.

Especially in European countries, it is said that you can drink it directly.

In fact, people in Europe rarely drink tap water directly. They usually go to supermarkets and buy bottled water by the box.

European and American people like to buy toilet paper and bottled water most.

The tap water there is very hard and looks clean, but in fact there are countless messy minerals in it. After drinking it, it feels like there are bones in the water.

When mainland students go to Europe, in addition to using tap water for laundry, they also add a filter when bathing, washing their hair and face.

If you don’t add a filter, you will lose a lot of hair and easily get skin diseases.

As for boiling water to drink, it doesn't work either. Boiled water has a layer of white powder.

This is European water, and Tyrande's water is even worse. The boiled water is not white powder, but white foam. It is very turbid and looks similar to Ganges River water.

The water companies here are privately owned and have no sense of public morality.

Li Shengyao knew this clearly and nodded with a smile. "The fourth point is to be careful of pornographic scams here. Tyrande's pornographic industry is very developed. Many minors engage in this. Be careful of causing trouble. The women here do everything possible to get pregnant with the old white man's child. .

Mainland Wanwan is not that popular.

But if you let them know that you are rich, they will still try their best to get pregnant.

If a foreigner is caught messing around, Tyrande police will pay him a large sum of money. "

All the men nodded.

Wang Haomin continued: "Last point, there are actually gangs here, and sometimes it's very chaotic. It's best not to provoke them. There are guns here, and there are murders and kidnappings, gambling, sour feelings, and fandom. It's all there."

There were five points in total. Although they were all common questions, Li Shengyao was still very grateful to Wang Haomin for coming over. Wang Haomin's words made everyone more serious, which was conducive to managing the crew.

"Director Li, we are a close family. No matter what happens, you can always come to me."

"Okay, thank you, Boss Wang."

Li Shengyao then winked at his assistant, who took out a red envelope and handed it to Wang Haomin.

When Wang Haomin saw this, the smile in his eyes became even stronger.

Not long after, Wang Haomin returned to his B&B. Mrs. Wang was also a curmudgeon and laughed when she saw this, "Are you going to be a bitch?"

Wang Haomin raised the red envelope in his hand and said, "What are you talking about? Can you have some knowledge?

I just talked about a few points, and I got 1000 yuan. "

When Mrs. Wang saw this, she grabbed the red envelope and put the money inside into her pocket. "You also said he was an international director. How stingy."

Wang Haomin poured a glass of water, squinted his eyes and nodded, "It is said that Li Shengyao has a net worth of nearly 1000 billion U.S. dollars. It is indeed too stingy to send me away with [-] yuan now."

"Do you have any ideas?"

"I want to make more money."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang immediately picked up the cup for Wang Haomin and held it with both hands, "What do you think?"

"I want to join forces with the local gangs and give them hundreds of thousands of dollars."

"Isn't it too dangerous? Lee Sheng-yew is a famous international director. The Tyrande government is begging mainlanders to come here to travel here and will definitely take care of him."

"It's okay. We either killed people or set fire, or threw stones and cow dung at their crew. Then I went over to negotiate with Lee Sheng Yew and said it was a warning from the local gang. A hundred thousand dollars would settle the matter. He definitely didn't want to cause trouble. This money We will definitely make money, and when the time comes, I will make fifty thousand dollars just by saying a few words."

Mrs. Wang was overjoyed when she heard this. She twisted her waist and sat on Wang Haomin's lap. "Hubby, you are awesome. Take medicine tonight to make you feel good."

Two days later, Wang Haomin returned to the B&B with a pair of egg-eyed eyes. Even though he lowered his head, Mrs. Wang still noticed something strange about him.

"what's wrong?"

"Damn it, I was beaten by the Orochi Gang."

The Big Snake Gang is a local gang in Amphawa. They run the local casino sex industry and occasionally kidnap tourists for some money.

"Why did they beat you? Is it because you stole the chips?"

Wang Haomin once stole chips from a casino.

Hearing his wife's words, he shook his head speechlessly, "Of course not. How long has it been since I stole the chips? I was beaten because of Li Shengyao's incident."

"Li Shengyao, don't they agree to a [-]-[-] split?"

"No..." Wang Haomin glanced at his wife, then smiled bitterly and said: "This guy Li Shengyao is more important than I thought."

He sat down and gently touched his swollen eyes, "The day before yesterday, the Amphawa town government issued a notice to the Big Snake Gang, telling them to stay calm and not to provoke Lee Sheng Yew's crew.

Then yesterday, people from the Mainland Chinese Business Association and the Tyrande Chinese Business Association visited Li Shengyao, and they also gave a message to the people from the Big Snake Gang and told them not to mess around.

Yesterday, two teams of police officers were arranged in Bangkok to protect the safety of Lee Sheng Yew's crew. It is said that members of the royal family will visit Lee Sheng Yew in the next few days. "

He sighed and continued: "Horse, I told the people from the Orochi Gang about this, and they beat me up and said I harmed them."

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she was silent for a while.

Wang Haomin's eyes hurt and he didn't think much about it.

Just when he was about to go back to his room to sleep and recuperate, Mrs. Wang whispered: "Husband, I want to see Li Shengyao, do you think it's okay?"

"You...you slut, stop having such wishful thinking. Why does he like you?"

Mrs. Wang rolled her eyes and said angrily: "What are you guessing? I just think that since there is no way to cooperate with the Big Snake Gang, we will take other ways to see if we can make money.

Lee Sheng Yew is rich, we can’t miss it. "

When Wang Haomin heard this, he was immediately moved, but then he thought that the Tyrande government was protecting Li Shengyao like a filial son and a virtuous grandson, and specially arranged two teams of police.

If their plot was discovered, he would not be able to stay in Tyrande any longer.

"Forget it, be honest and don't make any money from him."
