"Do you want to take action now?" Dufo played with the pistol in his hand. When the pistol fired, the sound was not very loud. If it was in the house, the sound would be even quieter. If you don't listen carefully, it would be difficult to detect that it was a gunshot. You may be exposed if you do it at night, because the environment is more peaceful at night, and any sound will be very abrupt. But doing things at night also has the advantages of doing things at night, such as making it easier to evacuate.
Night is always the best protective color for barbarism. It is not unreasonable that many murders occur at night. At least the murderers will like this time period, which is both romantic and convenient for leaving.
Du Lin thought about it and decided to take action later. It was not impossible to do it now, but the deterrent effect was not enough to make those elegant people become honest in matters related to him, Du Lin. Even those people were completely dead, and other Shangya people didn't necessarily know why they died, why it happened today, let alone what kind of existence they offended. So the best way is to do it the night before they take action and clean out all the backbones. When they find out the next day, they will feel that there is a thick dark cloud over Ilian, shrouding the sky. on their heads.
Although I won't be doing anything tonight, I still have something to do. List these people that Greyhound has given instructions to, and ask Savi and others to identify the door, so that it will be easier for them to move.
In such a seemingly stable and prosperous city, the night turned into day in a blink of an eye. When the first ray of golden sunshine shone on the earth, the whole city finally fell into silence. Du Lin got up early. Today is the first day of official filming for Frena's crew. As an investor, he will definitely go to the scene to encourage everyone. For Dulin, the messy firsts and firsts of this movie are not important. What is important is that this movie is also a bargaining chip for cooperation with the George family and a bridge for him to cooperate with the city hall.
There is no love without reason in this world, and there is no hatred without reason. If you want the gentlemen in the city hall to turn a blind eye most of the time, then you must feed them. The city managers of the old party are very direct. They just tell everyone to come and bribe them. As long as they give enough money, they will never care about such nonsense.
The new party is different. These have certain ideals. In order to be able to express their political ideas, they need more than money. Money can embellish their lives, but political value is what they need. Give them enough political resources to make them look good, and they don't care what you have done.
This film has played such a very important role, and it can be regarded as the first official cooperation between Dulin and the City Hall.
In the early morning, the film crew had already laid the camera track for filming at the port. The new colored camera equipment is much heavier than the black and white camera equipment. If it is carried by one person, it will not only shake randomly, but also be too much for a person, so they adopted the orbital shooting method as soon as they came up.
The importance of this film will not be repeated. Scott appeared at the port early in the morning to coordinate the dispatch work. Perhaps because of the special urban atmosphere of Ilian, many people were willing to cooperate with the film crew in filming. The original idea of hiring more extras was abandoned. Even the cruise ship that arrived in Ilian in the morning after an overnight voyage was very cooperative and took the initiative to take over the work of the huge background during the shooting.
But they had a small condition, that is, the ship number must be included in the film, and the captain and first mate must also appear in the film.
These are all small things. The screenwriter made some casual changes and solved the requirements of the captain and first mate. The two little old men put on brand new clothes excitedly. The captain also spent two yuan to take care of his beard. Only then appeared in front of the camera with a pipe in his mouth. He had two lines, the first mate had one, and then Frena appeared on the side of the ship with her suitcase and looked out. It's a very simple scene, but it took more than ten takes to complete. There are always some tourists looking at the camera unconsciously, or grinning stupidly at the camera.
The director was startled when he discovered Du Lin's arrival. Just as he was about to stand up and say hello to Du Lin, Du Lin put his hand on his shoulder. The movement here was a little bigger, which immediately attracted Scott's attention, and he also walked over.
"Why did you think of coming here? I thought you didn't have time." Scott took out his cigarette case and gave Dulin a cigarette, and lit one himself. "Everyone attaches great importance to this movie. You may not know that I spent half a day here every day before the filming of this movie was over, and you really found a good job for me.”
Du Lin shrugged his shoulders, looked at Frena who rushed down the gangway, and said with a smile: "Didn't you complain that you were too busy some time ago? Are you not satisfied with having a leisurely job now?"
Scott smiled and said nothing. As a staff member of the city hall, being idle is not a good thing. Fortunately, this matter is indeed very important, and the mayor is keeping a close eye on it, otherwise he would really have to move around. He suddenly thought of something and said it casually, "Isn't Alexander discussing with the city hall about holding a food festival? The mayor approved it, and Alexander also started promoting the event. He hoped to use the platform of this film , bringing the food festival to the entire empire.”
Du Lin frowned and realized later that this was a built-in advertisement, right? Capitalists have always had a keen eye, especially those things that are beneficial to themselves. They can always discover business opportunities first. "It's okay if he wants to promote the food festival. Ask him how much money he plans to spend. I can't let me spend it." You made money to make a movie, but you gave him some food festival to promote it, right?”
"Fifty thousand yuan!"
This offer was quite sincere. Dulin nodded, turned around, waved and left. He had not yet thought about how to deal with Frena. If I send her to heaven... it's not impossible, but I always feel that doing so is actually irresponsible to me. According to this idea, everyone in Tenel City should be killed, because they may reveal something they have hidden.
Thinking of this, Du Lin had a headache. The most important thing now was to find a "legal" way to explain why he had so much money.
Freina on the set saw Du Lin and Du Lin's departure. She had been going out early and coming back late recently, which happened to be at the same time as Du Lin. In fact, she also had something to tell Du Lin. As the producer and heroine of this film, Frena was actually under a lot of pressure. If no one watched the film, Du Lin's investment of 500,000 yuan would be in vain. On the one hand, she was saving the crew's expenses, and on the other hand, she also wanted to discuss the upcoming filming issues with Du Lin.
To put it bluntly, she had no idea.
She was not the heroine in the previous film. Regardless of success or failure, as long as she played her role well, it was a success for her. Now she not only has to play her role well, but also ensure that the film will have a huge response and success after it is released. She has barely slept well in the past two days.
At this time, Mickey in District 5 was anxiously looking for traces of the greyhound. He promised that he would take him to get money to buy a gun today, but the person disappeared early in the morning. After looking for several alleys where Greyhounds often frequented to sell narcotics, but couldn't find that guy, Mickey had a bad premonition. Just when he was considering whether to give up this plan, another person found him.
"The greyhound was captured." When Mickey said this sentence, he even had the idea of running away immediately, but the second sentence made him dumbfounded, "He smashed someone else's house when he was collecting debts last time. Glass, the family called the police. He was hit by a policeman on night patrol on his way back yesterday, and he is now in the detention room of the branch. "
Mickey was speechless for a while. He was clearly discussing big things last night, so why did so many things happen in the blink of an eye? He grunted a little irritably, thought for a moment, and then plunged into a financial company he knew.
Residents in District 5 often borrow some money from loan sharks to live because they don't have enough money. Especially during the winter break, many families face a situation of running out of money in the last month or two. They rarely ask their neighbors for help. Borrow money from friends or relatives because everyone doesn’t have much money. The rich people have already gone to the fourth district, who will stay in the fifth district and suffer? So most of them will borrow some money from loan sharks to spend the winter break.
Just like Mr. Morris in leather pants, whom Dulin once knew, loan sharks here may be just a name. To Dulin, they are more like welfare companies. If you borrow fifty yuan for three months, you only need to pay back eighty-seven yuan. The profit of 20% every month is simply the conscience of heaven and earth. However, for these financial companies, this kind of income is not bad. In addition, the fifth district is full of poor people. If the interest rate is too high, no one can afford to pay it back, and the account may be ruined in the end.
He took four hundred yuan from a loan shark. This was because Mickey knew them and had his own house. Otherwise, no one would have dared to lend him the money. Four hundred yuan for three months was close to seven hundred yuan in principal and interest. For this reason, Mickey also signed several documents to ensure that these loan sharks could collect eight hundred yuan worth of finances from his family without finding Mickey's people. If he didn't have that many belongings at home, they would have auctioned Mickey's house.
Taking the 400 yuan, Mickey found Greyhound's boss, the third-level demolition guy.
"You mean you took away three pistols from me with not enough money, and then returned the pistols to me after a period of time, and gave me another three hundred yuan?" said Xing Yaren, who looked like a madman with disheveled hair. His face was blank, "Then why don't you just give me the rest of the money?" He waved his hand, "Okay, okay, I'll give you two. I don't ask you what you will do if you are caught. Don’t say you took these things from me, otherwise even if you go to jail, I will find a way to make you die in there.”
