I, the outlaw, was caught again

Chapter 295 Wang Chao: Alas, I have an idea! [A big chapter asking for monthly votes! ]

Is there any movie being filmed in the Far North Province?
Li Yang paused again and again, and subconsciously looked in the direction given by Li Hao.

What's there?
There are really a lot of people filming!

I saw a group of people wearing Eastern clothes from nearly a hundred years ago, filming part of the scene downstairs. One of the women was wearing a cheongsam and holding a fan, looking very graceful.

A bunch of cameras emit white flashes, and if you look directly at them, you will fall into daylight.

"Movie City?"

"Style from decades ago?"

Wang Chao was surprised and looked at the crew in front of him with confusion on his face.

“When did these crews start appearing in Far North Province?”

Li Yang was slightly surprised and thought suspiciously.

He had previously worked in a border area, so he knew how difficult it was to develop a stable economy in that area.

Can film and television be stable?

From a long-term perspective, entertainment will develop towards convenience and fast pace, film and television cities will become more and more prosperous, and a large number of film crews will spring up like mushrooms after a rain.

Regions with film and television cities are in no way inferior to those with named tourist areas.

However, if the border could develop this thing, it would not be Li Yang's turn.

“What’s there to photograph here?”

Wang Chao shivered, wrapped himself in the coat he had just bought, and muttered to himself.

"It might be a play in the style of a hundred years ago."

Li Yang thought about it, looked at the surrounding environment and replied.

Where is the Far North Province backward?
All behind.

Being backward means being behind the times.

The times are not just about people, but a general environment.

Like the buildings on the left and right, some of the "dilapidated buildings" may be left over from the war period.

And the crew shooting a nostalgic style, don’t they like the architectural style of the old times! ?

After all, no matter how similar the restoration in the film and television city is, can it be more similar to the original in the Far North Province! ?

The key is
“I guess it’s pretty cheap!”

Li Hao understood the benefits of this in an instant.

The two looked at the weather and the dilapidated environment around them and agreed.

The Far North Province is like a sponge that never lets go of any drop of water that can bring economic value!

If you shoot a drama in the film and television studio in Jiangsan City, you will have to spend a lot of money on venue rental.

Moreover, if you want to shoot a photo of someone wearing a cotton-padded jacket in such high temperatures, you have to pay a high temperature subsidy, otherwise there won’t be enough people to do it.

But it's different here.

The venue is cheap and the labor is even cheaper!

When a bunch of people are starving to death because they can't even get enough food to eat, they won't ask for a wage increase, but just want to have enough food to eat.

For the crew who want to save money, when filming in a province like the Far North where people are committing suicide due to lack of work, even if they lower the fee for extras and only pay half of the money and provide three meals, the local officials and residents still have to thank them for saving a lot of people from starving to death.

Not to mention the climate, it's chilly, and the actors are more receptive.

"I guess this is something the Far North Province just came up with. They want to start a price war to ease their difficulties. There should be quite a few crews like this."

Li Yang thought for a moment and spoke again.

Suddenly, a voice sounded from the side.

"Yes, the action started last year. It has no cost, but it can provide a lot of people with temporary jobs. The response is very good. It was implemented at the beginning of the year and has achieved considerable results so far."

"Our boss has a good heart. He does this not for promotion, but simply to ease the current situation."

The three of them paused and looked back subconsciously.

But a policeman wearing an old police uniform and standing in front of a dilapidated old police car started to talk to him.

He looked away from the crew and towards the three people.

"Liu Peng, a criminal police officer from the Nanyue City Bureau of the Far North Province, is here to meet you three on a mission from his superiors."

Liu Peng?

Coming here on orders from the superiors! ?
Wang Chao was slightly surprised. "What order?"

"You don't know?"

Liu Peng was also surprised. He looked him up and down, thought for a moment, and then said:

"Aren't you leaders from the imperial capital?"

"What leader?" Wang Chao became more and more confused.

"Just last night, the Imperial Capital called and informed us that the director of the Nanyue City Bureau had a meeting with the three of you. Could this information be wrong?"

Liu Peng frowned and looked up and down at the three people in front of him.

The two people on the left don't look like officials, except for the one on the right. It's hard for outsiders to fake that kind of weathered look.

"An audience? In the imperial capital?"

Wang Chao was stunned for a moment, then he immediately reacted and a look of joy appeared on his face.

"Ha, this must have been arranged by Mr. Zhao!"

"Hey, let's call the local city bureau in advance and ask them to take care of us."

"Mr. Zhao is pretty nice~"

Li Hao nodded in deep thought.

The people of Zhaotian are really nice. When I flew here, they arranged to pick me up overnight. They also acted as tour guides and explained various things. It was like a nanny-level service!

Li Yang
After hearing a little bit of the mythical story, he heard these words
Li Yang seemed to be hesitant to speak, and looked at the people on both sides in silence.

He is thinking.

Did Zhao Tian really call Nanyue City because he was a nice person?
Is it really not because of emotions like sympathy and pity?

Or something else?
Although he was hesitant about it and felt something was wrong, it seemed a little weird anyway.
Li Yang wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing.

"Red Moon Hotel, right? This hotel is considered a relatively high-end place in Nanyue City, and it is also one of the few industries that can make a profit from the hotel."

Liu Peng took the three people into the car, and he and Wang Chao confirmed the destination.

"Yes, that's where my brother is getting married. We have to go check it out first."

Wang Chao spoke cheerfully.

"It would be bad if there was any danger. I have to take a look first."

"Buzz!"

Liu Peng stepped on the accelerator and drove towards the distant location, chatting casually.

"Danger?"

"Indeed, there are some petty thieves roaming around in the hotel, and those who leave their doors unlocked are easily robbed."

Liu Peng didn't think about it too much, but started thinking about the people in the hotel.

Some places in the hotel here do not have electronic locks or fingerprint locks, and there is no automatic locking function when closing the door, so the so-called magnetic cards are naturally not used.

With traditional household locks, lock pickers can open the door with just a card, and your door can be completely opened with just a piece of wire!

Without 24-hour surveillance, it is only natural that such an environment would breed thieves.

"But there's no need to worry about Red Moon. It's the largest hotel in Nanyue District, and they all use electronic locks."

Liu Peng spoke cheerfully.

"Such petty thefts are not feasible in a hotel with electronic locks."

The anti-theft performance of electronic locks is still quite good. At least in this era, thieves who have rarely seen electronic locks have the ability to guard against them.

Well, speaking of which, Xu Sheng did think about the thieves stealing electronic locks in the future, but the ancestors they believed in opened traditional locks. Is this really a method that can be passed down by thieves?
Or is this similar to the difference between smoking cigarettes and vaping?
Of course, the problem is not this, but that.
"No, not petty theft."

Wang Chao explained cheerfully.

"What else could it be?" Liu Peng replied subconsciously.

"Well, some rather dangerous things." Li Hao interrupted, explaining vaguely and shrinking his head.

"Oh, is it the hotel's fire prevention safety, or is it an equipment problem?"

A smile appeared on Liu Peng's face.

"Don't worry about this. Although Nanyue City is poor, it won't cheat outsiders in such matters!"

"Don't worry, the Red Moon brand is good."

"Our boss has contacted the boss specifically. The crews that come to Nanyue City to film also stay here. The price is cheap and guaranteed. The cost-effectiveness is extremely high. There will definitely be no problem!"

"Then I feel relieved."

Wang Chao breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, his expression relaxed. Li Yang said nothing, he looked at Wang Chao and then at Li Hao.

He felt uneasy all over.

The car was driving slowly in this rather strange situation.

Wang Chao originally thought that the other party would take him to the Municipal Bureau, at least to meet with the director, but Liu Peng said that there was no such service.

The other party directly pulled the three people towards the Red Moon Hotel.

In this regard, Wang Chao racked his brains, stretched out his finger and thought of a statement to comfort himself.

"It must be Zhao Tian's special order. He thought that I should go early and come back early. I can't be delayed too long in other places, so I should complete the task and go home as soon as possible!"

Wang Chao was moved again and tried to get drunk and fall asleep.

He did not stop brainwashing himself until he got off the bus.

"The Red Moon, with the appearance of a Western palace, is both a hotel and a filming location."

"Mr. Wang can go and check the safety issues himself."

Liu Peng followed behind the other person, introduced the hotel to him, and spoke with a smile.

Wang Chao nodded.

He showed his identity to the front desk, and after confirmation, he received several magnetic access cards and then walked inside.

The hotel's service is very good and it is divided into many areas.

Such as wedding area, negotiation area, rental area, and simple hotel service area, basically all of them are available, maximizing the utilization of rooms on each floor.

Similarly, there is no so-called sports and fitness area. After all, how can you exercise when you can't even eat?

As soon as Wang Chao entered, he saw many doors open and people queuing up to put on makeup.

Most of them are extras. It looks like five or six people live in one room. I don’t know how they can fit in. A small number of them are more sophisticated professional actors.

In 04, many people were disgusted with celebrities. Some dancers would even feel disgusted when they received invitations from scouts, thinking that it would lower their own value.

Later on, the commercial value of celebrities was fully brought into play, and the term "traffic star" gradually emerged. Most of the current celebrities are real talents.

Either you have a great acting skill or a great singing voice, otherwise you can’t become famous just by having a face.

why?
Because there was no television, most people didn't have a television at home in 04, and several families would huddle together around one TV to watch it in the evening.

It’s good enough to be able to listen to music on weekdays, why do you need a bicycle? You handsome guy can’t even see it!

"Where's Zhang Ya? Why isn't Zhang Ya here to put on makeup?"

"Who knows? Maybe he went to another hotel. Walking out the back door is where several film crews are filming. It's easy to get a job, and no one is competing for it. There are quite a lot of film crews here."

"Don't talk. It's your turn to put on makeup. Go wash your face first."

"By the way, do you have chicken legs in the lunch box today?"

"."

Wang Chao walked in front of Liu Peng, not paying much attention to the actors and ignoring the noise around him.

He thought she was not as pretty as the tigress in the haunted house, so he simply didn't look at it much.

"Snapped!"

After swiping the card, he pushed open the area where Xu Sheng and the others were gathered and looked at the huge area inside.

This is not a wedding area, but a room for resting at night.

Liu Peng and the waiter walked forward with a smile, "You can go check the fire-fighting equipment and smoke alarm system in the room. Hmm? What are you doing?"

The two of them paused and subconsciously looked at the person in front of them.

It was seen that Chaozi bypassed the so-called circuit and fire protection issues, and went out first, looked at the rooms on both sides, knocked on the door to see if there was anyone there, if there was, whether he was still alive, if not, whether he was dead.

Then he walked back and looked in the toilet to see if there were any fragments of human flesh.

Then lift the mattress slightly and take a look at what's inside.

After seeing nothing on the surface, I checked each circuit hole to see if there was anything fishy.

This scene left Liu Peng stunned.

This dude.
"Which department are you from?"

Liu Peng asked in a slightly tactful way.

This was the first time he had encountered this kind of ward round.

Is this guy really looking for so-called petty theft!?

how do you feel
Not quite like it.

"Well, it looks like this room is fine for now, but that may not be the case until the wedding day."

"There are other places that I need to check carefully."

Wang Chao did not answer. He straightened up with a slight satisfaction.

"Officer Liu, you guys take a rest first. I'll go check the rest of the place."

As he said that, he waved his hand to refuse Liu Peng's request to follow him and walked out.

Li Yang wanted to catch up, but was called down by Liu Peng.

"Officer Li?"

Liu Peng glanced up and down and asked tentatively.

"What's wrong?" Li Yang was stunned.

"I participated in a joint arrest in Yangsu Province and cooperated with a policeman named Li Yang," Liu Peng said with a raised eyebrow.

"Officer Liu Peng Liu?"

Li Yang suddenly remembered something and his eyes lit up.

"I was wondering why this name sounded familiar, I didn't expect it was actually you!?"

Li Yang's mood suddenly warmed up.

Yangsu Province is located in the west, close to the border, and has held many coordinated operations.

I didn't expect to see Liu Peng, who had participated in the operation with me, and he had been transferred to Nanyue City.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Liu Peng suddenly said:

"By the way, what's the situation with those two people that the Emperor has specifically appointed?"

Liu Peng lit a cigarette, handed one to the other party, and asked in confusion.

"Why do I feel a little weird?"

It's more than just strange.

Who would search a hotel for security issues this way?

Li Yang secretly complained and grumbled.

He thought for a long time, but still didn't know how to explain it so that others would think he was not joking or mentally ill.

"Yeah, them."

“They should be considered mascots.”

Li Yang spoke tactfully.

"mascot?"

Liu Peng flicked the ash off his cigarette, a puzzled look on his face.

"Correct."

Li Yang nodded.

"mascot."

"I mean the kind with real functions!"

at the same time.

Wang Chao has already checked the designated areas and found that most of them are fine. A small part of them has aging facilities and do not pose a life-threatening threat.

In general, there were no problems with the place Xu Sheng had originally planned to book and the place he had already booked.

Well, to make sure everything was foolproof, Superman also checked other areas.

No problem.

Until Wang Chao, who was moving between the rooms, suddenly stopped at some point.

He stood in the lobby on the first floor and turned around.

Wang Chao turned his head and looked at the back door of the hotel and fell into deep thought.

moment
Wang Chao opened his eyes, looked at the back door with a gleam in his eyes, and stretched out a finger.

"Ugh."

"I have an idea!!"
