The leisurely life of rebirth

Chapter 487 Wild Zone
After enjoying the joy of raising a daughter, Zhou You embarked on the road to Africa.

Direct flights to Cape Town, South Africa.

South Africa is located at the southernmost tip of Africa, and the weather rarely exceeds 30 degrees throughout the year.

The average temperature is 10-24 degrees.

It suddenly subverted Zhou You’s perception.

In his impression, he thought that Africa was full of hot and dry weather, but he didn't know that this temperature can be said to be like spring all year round.

No wonder I read the news before and said that many Africans suffered from heat stroke when they went to Yangcheng.

It is not without factual basis.

I thought it was a joke at the time, but it became news and became a hot search topic. Little did I know that this place is like spring all year round. No wonder it is known as the birthplace of mankind.

Cape Town, South Africa's second largest city, is more famous than South Africa's capital, Pretoria.

This is thanks to the history books. It turns out that Cape Town is called the Cape of Good Hope!

Is it familiar?

After getting off the plane, a group of people stood in front of the tour, loaded with guns and ammunition, standing in two rows, some were black, some were white, some were yellow.

The entire human collective.

"Xiaosi, why is there such a big battle?" Zhou You was still a little uncomfortable with it.

Xiaosi's dress was different from usual this time. He was wearing a camouflage uniform, tactical belts, body armor, and carrying a long gun and short cannon, looking majestic.

"Brother You, the protection begins now."

When Li Houliang saw Xiaosi's dress, he looked envious. That man had no military dreams.

Xiaosi saw the greedy looks of everyone behind him and said directly without teasing them: "This time, everyone has a role to play, and they all need to train, which will improve the team's level."

Zhou You nodded. He had already gotten over the addiction to shooting, but this was the first time he had seen such a complete set of equipment.

He said curiously: "Make one for me when the time comes, so I can play with it too."

Wu Jing strode forward and gave him a bear hug: "Brother You, I miss you so much."

Zhou You threw him over his shoulder, and before Wu Jing hugged him, he subdued him to the ground: "You don't change it every time. Look at Qiu Ya, a rough guy like you doesn't know how to avoid suspicion."

"Hello, Brother You." Qiu Ya stepped forward and hugged Zhou You.

Zhou You also hugged her tightly and said, "Thank you for your hard work filming."

Wu Jing was lying on the ground, expecting Zhou You to help him, but how could he be so ruthless, so he could only stand up like a carp on his own.

He stood aside without speaking, wanting to kill them with his eyes.

The filming of Wolf Warrior 2 was indeed very hard, and Wu Jing also strived for perfection and had requirements for many scenes, and he didn't worry about the travel money at all.

"Brother Jing, do you still have enough money?" Zhou You gave him a slap in the face.

Wu Jing was still a little resentful. He scratched the back of his head and said with a grin: "That's enough, that's enough. We should save and spend, and use the money wisely."

I dare not say it enough, but it is indeed rich.

Wu Jing is such a person. Zhou You trusts him, and he can't live up to this trust. No one can ask for it.

Besides, he also invested money himself, which was not much compared to Zhou You, but it was also his own savings for many years, just for his dream.

"Okay, if it's not enough, I won't worry about you spending the money."

A group of people walked and talked.

Zhou You's insecurity began to come out again, and he was full of distrust of the armed people around him. If there was anyone hostile to him, he would be gone with one shot.

However, there is no way to completely avoid this. Fortresses are breached from within.

"Xiao Si, arrange for everyone to eat something good. We have everything." There is no other way, so it's the old method.

You are soft-handed when you take advantage of others, but you are short-handed when you take advantage of others.

Try to avoid it.

From the plane, the scenery of Cape Town is really beautiful.

Surrounded by water on three sides, a small corner protrudes from the corner, which is densely covered with stars and the buildings are scattered in an orderly manner.

There is a hint of exoticism in the chaos.

This place has a long history of being colonized by Europe. The documentary "Searching for Sugar Man" was filmed here.

One of the reasons why I am willing to come on this tour is to see the scenery at that time and to understand the authenticity of the sugar people here.

You can see many white people along the way, which is also a major feature.

"Brother You, I was very surprised when I first came here. After learning about it, I realized that this place has always been a European colony, with many white immigrants and descendants."

"Since the city was founded in 1652, it has passed through the Netherlands, Britain, Germany, France and other European countries in more than 300 years."

"Brother You, guess what their special food is?" Wu Jing couldn't help but give it a try.

Zhou You smiled: "Brother Jing, please continue your performance!"

"Hey, come a few days early, come a few days early, that's not necessarily right. It's actually hamburgers and coffee. It's really not much different from Europe."

Isn’t this nonsense? After being colonized for so long, to be honest, we have already assimilated.

This is not a place like China. Even if it is ruled by a foreign race, it will definitely be affected in the middle, but it will be digested and absorbed in the end, and there is no way to completely assimilate.

Since there were many security personnel to protect not only themselves but also the crew, Zhou You did not go out to live alone and stayed directly in the hotel.

"How's the progress now? How long will it take to finish filming?"

"It's almost there. The progress is very fast now. I have to thank Brother You for sending so many security guards. I can do a lot of things now." Wu Jing said truthfully.

Even though security costs a lot of money, if you really get things done, you can save hundreds of thousands a day.

So many people want to eat and drink.

I was tired from the journey. I didn’t do anything else while traveling around. I simply ate a little and rested.

Early the next morning, after a simple breakfast, I was ready to go to the filming location to check out the filming. I remembered from the tour that it seemed like the slums were filmed here.

Speaking of which, this place is similar to India.

Separated by a road, it is the difference between heaven and hell.

A rich area and a slum.

Anyone who sees it for the first time will be greatly shocked. They can't imagine what it would be like in China. The contrast is too strong.

Anyway, I’m not used to traveling around.

"Brother You, we'll go to the slums for filming later, so don't go there. It's a bit dangerous there." Wu Jing advised.

After understanding it, he was actually a little scared, and once wanted to give up on this scene.

If it hadn't been for the arrival of the traveling security team and the coordination of the local armed forces, he didn't know what he would have done, but even so, he was still a little worried.

Those people have today and no tomorrow, no matter who you are, their impulse is to shoot, rob and kill.

There is no running water or street lights. Most of the people are unemployed. Guns are heard every day. Guns are the most valuable thing here.

For this reason, they can only shoot and frame in fixed areas, and they dare not go to other places at all.

Zhou You shook his head, he had come here, and if he didn't take a look, he felt uncomfortable, and he didn't go over the threshold in his heart. "It's okay. I'm wearing a body armor. Besides, I'm on the outside and won't leave the safe area."

In the slums, what can we do if we don’t gain knowledge?

The light must be seen, and the darkness must be seen.

Take a look, the cruelty in this world is due to humans, why is such helplessness happening!
A large group of people crossed a bridge, with several railroads crossing under it.

Stand on the bridge.

From the direction we came, there were bright lights, high-rise buildings, bright and clean windows, and a modern and beautiful scenery.

In the direction we went, it was low, dilapidated, messy, with sewage flowing across it, and it was like hell on earth before our eyes.

This time, in addition to the security team, Zhouyou also brought a lot of food, drinks, and alcoholic beverages to distribute to the locals.

As for whether the local armed forces would give them the money they got, Zhou You couldn't guarantee it. If they had this kind of intention, I believe there would not be such a large slum.

Xiao Si and his security team had arrived early and had already finished preliminary clearance.

"Brother Jing, during the filming, except for the actors, I will arrange for the rest of the people to go to other places to distribute supplies. How long will it take you?" Zhou You was giving both kindness and power.

There is military support and material support.

They were all busy eating and drinking in front of them.

Considering the possibility of mad looting, local armed forces were arranged to maintain order.

Wu Jing nodded solemnly: "Well, as soon as possible, I still have to put safety first. The gap between this environment and that in China is too big."

It was better when I went to other places before, but this time I came to Africa and I really felt deeply.

Wu Jing came early and had a little more contact with the slums. He asked a lot of local Chinese for advice. The more he talked, the more worried he became. It was really too chaotic, and he was completely in a semi-free-range state.

One word, disorder!
The chaos made everyone a little scared.

The people here don't have much reverence for life. They should die and live, as if everything is arranged by fate, and they have completely given up other ideas.

However, you can't blame them.

They have lived here since childhood, and their habits have always been the same. They have never eaten or seen it. What do you ask them to do?
People who have always lived by the sea cannot imagine what mountains and grasslands look like.

Wu Jing rushed to shoot. Fortunately, there were not many shots, so he should be able to get it done quickly. If it were another director, he might have to shoot the scene separately. There is no way, Wu Jing is still a bit serious.

Movies are not only stories, but also pictures. Real things can move people more.

The drama was about filming Wu Jing driving through the slums.

There are no decent roads in the slums. The houses are built in a rickety manner. If you hadn't invited people out, if the shooting went wrong, you would have damaged their houses.

An AK might stretch out and shock you.

"Old Wu, be careful later. You are so old, don't damage your health." Zhou You saw an acquaintance on the set, Secretary Dakang.

However, it hasn’t been aired yet, and Lao Wu is not that popular yet.

It was with the popularity of In the Name of the People and Wolf Warrior 2 that Wu Gang's popularity suddenly exploded.

"Hey, Mr. Zhou still recognizes me." Wu Gang was a little surprised that he was still recognized by others despite being a veteran.

When Zhou You first watched Wolf Warrior, he felt that it was a bit inconsistent. Lao Wu had never been a soldier, so he could only say that the acting was okay, just average, not very outstanding.

"In the name of the people, I invested in this show. I like this show very much and am obsessed with the actors in it. You are one of the protagonists."

Wu Gang, an old man, said along the way: "You have saved this drama with your generosity, but I don't know if it will have a chance to be released. The cast is very strong and they are all veteran actors."

If this play is performed, it will definitely be very comfortable.

Acting Acting is actually a type of game, role-playing.

When you meet a good opponent, you can create excitement. If you meet a rookie, just crush them. It is meaningless. If you encounter some traffic again, it will be a real sin.

He also has to act opposite the air.

"I think it's okay, it'll be a matter of time." Zhou You said smoothly.

Then, under the protection of a group of people, we went to see the material situation over there.

Along the way, I was lucky to be dressed up today more than once. I was wearing camouflage uniforms and body armor. The most important thing was the boots under my feet. Wearing military boots on the ground with such sewage flowing across it, I really felt safe.

The houses on both sides of the winding road are also in a mess.

There are plastic boards and asbestos tiles spliced ​​together. They rustle when the wind blows, and the colorful plastics create a different kind of poignant feeling.

Some are iron houses, which should have been built with aid.

There are also tents, tarpaulin tents, and house-style tents, which are pretty good.

Ancient villages were always close to water sources, and this place is no exception.

The slums without running water were built around a small river.

However, the river is full of garbage. Ancient society did not have so much pollution and the water quality was not bad. I don’t know how they drank from the river here.

Even if everyone knows that throwing garbage into the water is wrong and is not good for themselves, there are always people who do it for convenience.

Once someone opens the door, trying to protect the river becomes a delusion, especially in the slums.

For those who live today without tomorrow, every day they live is earned.

Ten minutes later, when we arrived at the place where supplies were distributed, a crowd of people gathered around us.

Queuing, that doesn't exist.

Even the local armed forces are unable to maintain good order. If they had this ability, the slums would have been managed long ago, and they would be what they are now.

"Brother You, let's not go there, it's too chaotic." Xiaosi followed closely.

Not only him, but also Li Houliang, Battelle, and Wu Yang, with three layers inside and three layers outside, surrounding Zhou You in the middle.

The most popular ones here are rifles, which have strong penetrating power.

Zhou You was already shrinking in his heart. He just had to take a look. He knew that he couldn't help much. If he had this ability, he might as well help a few more students in the country.

If the general environment does not change, it will be difficult to achieve any effect.

Many people online say that Africa is poor because of laziness.

But looking back, have our Chinese ancestors been lazy for thousands of years?

Let’s not talk about the distant ones, let’s talk about the recent ones. In the 300 years of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, how many people were lazy and why the country was not strong and the people were not rich.

In the late Qing Dynasty, the people who were beaten by outsiders were all over the place looking for teeth, and they ceded territory to seek peace.

The gloomy time has lasted for nearly a hundred years. Is it because everyone is not working hard?

Africa is a piece of fat, and many people live on this piece of fat. If this piece of fat becomes the African people's own, many people will not agree.

A chaotic Africa is in everyone else's interest.

Whether you make personal efforts or not depends on where you are.

Zhou You let out a long sigh. He didn't feel much for adults, but he felt that those children were really pitiful.

They all come naked, because the place where they are reincarnated is different, and their future destiny is different.

Even if it's just a handful of loess in the end, the process in the middle is indeed a bit painful.
