Li Mu sent Wei Lan out and watched her drive away before letting the dog play freely in the yard. He went back and briefly checked the luggage that Wei Lan had packed for him.
Wei Lan was much more attentive than Li Mu, so after reading it once, Li Mu was completely relieved.
At ten o'clock, Li Ziwei arrived at Ziyun Villa along with the convoy. Li Mu handed his luggage to several assistants in the convoy to help load the car, and he led the dog into the Mercedes-Benz business car.
Li Ziwei, who was sitting in the passenger seat, did not expect that Li Mu would bring the dog with him. She asked in surprise: "Mr. Li, are you going to Yun Province with the dog this time?"
Li Mu nodded and said with a smile: "Take it to see the world."
Li Ziwei chuckled and said, "After all, she is a dog of royal blood. She grew up in Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle. She has never seen anything in the world."
Li Mu said seriously: "Because he is of royal blood, he spends all day in the queen's castle, so he has not seen much of the world. When he comes to Yun Province, let him enjoy himself in the fields, hillsides and wild forests."
The convoy drove all the way to Yanjing Airport. On the way there, Li Ziwei received a call from the airline and said to Li Mu: "Mr. Li, the boss of the charter company called and said that he was sorry because your trip was rushed this time, so we only We can temporarily deploy an older business jet, but the conditions may be slightly less favorable, so I hope you don't mind."
Li Mu nodded and said, "It's only three or four hours. It doesn't matter if the conditions are a little worse."
As he said that, Li Mu suddenly remembered what Chen Ze had mentioned to him last time. A brand-new Gulfstream G550 owned by a wealthy businessman in Hong Kong seemed to be about to change hands. He had asked him to help match the relationship, and he didn't know where the progress was now.
So Li Mu directly called Chen Ze. As soon as the call was connected, he asked him straight to the point: "Old Chen, you said last time that you had a Gulfstream G550 to be sold. What is the situation now?"
Chen Ze said: "I have helped you communicate with the other party. The owner of that plane is indeed interested in selling it, but he is in Australia now and may have to come back in a few days."
Li Mu asked him: "Can I trade it when I come back? If it is possible, I will ask someone to talk to him about the price, and if it is suitable, I will take it."
Chen Ze said: "It shouldn't be a big problem. I'll confirm it with him later. As for the price, he wanted to add about ten points to the original price to change hands. After all, he placed the order for the aircraft." After waiting for two years, I may not have flown it yet.”
Li Mu smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, as long as the handover speed is faster. It's too troublesome to charter flights all the time."
Chen Ze said: "Then I will confirm the price directly with him and give him 8-10 points based on the original price. If he can accept it, let him come to Yanjing to sign a contract with you as soon as possible. If he doesn't have time, let him Just send a lawyer, move the plane over, and let the lawyer sign the contract on his behalf."
Li Mu nodded and said, "It's best to do it as soon as possible."
"Okay." Chen Ze said, "I will contact you after it is done."
…
Li Mu took Li Ziwei, Wang Yuanlang, three reporters from Makino Technology, and a corgi. After several hours of flight, they landed at Spring City Airport. After landing, they took the airport shuttle bus directly to the helicopter parking area.
The main filming location and the entire base of the crew are built more than 100 kilometers away from Spring City in a straight line. Although the straight line distance is not that far, it takes at least three hours to get there by car from the airport, and more than half of these three hours are spent in the airport. Spend time on winding mountain roads.
Makino Technology does not have its own fleet in Spring City. If we use land transportation, it will not only be slow and dangerous, but also difficult to coordinate.
Therefore, flying directly there by helicopter has become the best option.
The two helicopters prepared by the general aviation company were both in a 1+4 layout, that is, one pilot plus five cabin seats, so Li Mu took Gouzi and sat on one of them with Li Ziwei and Wang Yuanlang, and the other two and three A reporter got on the other one, and the luggage, especially the heavily packaged wine of more than 100 square meters, was distributed in the cargo holds of the two helicopters.
After the helicopter took off, it headed southwest with Spring City in mind, passed through Spring City, and passed through dozens of mountains before arriving at a basin between the mountains.
Since this place is much further west than Yanjing, even though it was already after six o'clock, the sky was already bright. From the plane, Li Mu could see a simple airport made of rammed loess in the basin. From a distance, there were still parked cars on the runway. Several vintage fighter planes from World War II.
There are a large number of tents of different sizes around the airport, as well as a variety of work vehicles, including many trucks and container trucks.
When the helicopter arrived at the airstrip, there were already conductors on the runway guiding the plane to land, and crowds of people from Wuyang Wuyang surrounded the runway on both sides. At a glance, there were hundreds of people.
As the helicopter continued to descend, Li Mu could already see clearly how the people below were dressed. Those closest to the inner circle were many armed police soldiers wearing armed police uniforms. Behind them were almost the entire cast and crew, as well as many extras. .
After the plane landed smoothly, the pilot jumped down and helped Li Mu open the helicopter door. Just as Li Mu was about to get off the plane, Spielberg already ran over with his waist bent.
Li Mu hugged the dog who was frightened by the helicopter. As soon as he landed, Spielberg shouted in his ear: "Mr. Li, welcome to Yun Province, please come this way."
Li Mu nodded, hugged the dog tightly in his arms, looked around and found about a dozen World War II American fighter jets with shark logos parked neatly on the inside of the runway. Although he didn't know how many of them were models, How many of them are replicas, but I have to say that from the looks of it, the solid airport runway and the classic World War II aircraft really create the visual effects of World War II.
After taking a few glances, Li Mu and Li Ziwei followed Spielberg and other staff members straight to the largest tent in the entire filming location.
After arriving in the tent, away from the roar of the helicopter, the dog in his arms calmed down a little. Li Mu then put it down, holding the leash with one hand, and looked at the inside of the tent in front of him.
The space inside this tent is as big as a studio. It feels like the kind specially used for combat headquarters during combat. It is very spacious and can accommodate at least a hundred people.
Before he could speak, Tom Hanks, Leonardo, Anne, Hathaway, Du Wei, Liu Ye and other major actors walked in one after another.
Du Wei was the first to greet Li Mu. She ran directly to Li Mu like a little girl and said excitedly: "Brother Li Mu, you are here!"
Du Wei might not be used to the southwest climate, and her pretty face was a bit red. Li Mu naturally reached out and touched her face with the back of his hand, and asked her with a smile: "Is it hard to film here?"
When Li Mu caressed her face like this in public, Du Wei suddenly became embarrassed and said shyly: "Filming is not hard at all, and it is quite interesting. I can learn a lot."
After saying that, she saw the dog Li Mu was holding and asked in surprise: "Oh, is this the Corgi the Queen gave you?"
Li Mu nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, that's it."
Du Wei knelt down and touched the dog's head, then raised her little face to look at Li Mu and asked, "Brother Li Mu, what's its name?"
Li Mu smiled and said, "It's called Gouzi."
Du Wei stuck out her tongue and said, "Why did you give it such a rustic name?"
Li Mu said: "It needs to be down-to-earth and not too foreign."
At this time, Tom Hanks came to Li Mu, stretched out his hand to Li Mu, and said with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Li, we meet again."
Li Mu handed the dog leash to Du Wei, shook hands with Tom Hanks, and said politely: "Tom, it's nice to see you again. It's been hard work on the set during this time!"
Tom Hanks smiled and said: "Believe me, Mr. Li, filming here is not hard at all. On the contrary, it is a kind of enjoyment."
Li Mu glanced at Leonardo next to him and asked, "Is that so, Leo?"
"Of course." Leonardo came over at this time and said with a smile: "The scenery and people here are great. Tom and I are both full of affection for this place. We are even planning to donate a school to the local area. Primary school, the name of the school is H&D. With this school here, we will definitely come back here regularly in the future to review the customs and customs here."
Li Mu asked in surprise: "H&D, is this the combination of the initials of your last names?"
Leonardo nodded and smiled: "That's right."
Li Mu smiled and said: "I don't know why, but I feel a little gay inside. However, donating to a primary school is very meaningful. On behalf of the local children, I would like to thank you both."
Spielberg said at this time: "The entire airport scene here was built with the help of local people. We originally thought that it would take at least more than a month to build such a simple airport. Unexpectedly, it will take more than a month to build such a simple airport. With the help of local people, we built it in less than a week. The folk customs here are really very simple, which makes each of us grateful."
As he spoke, Spielberg continued: "Mr. Li, I'm trying to find a way to apply to the local government, hoping to preserve the scene here and use it as a themed exhibition hall or theme park for "The Flying Tigers" in the future. , this will be of great help in promoting that period of history, and can also bring a little benefit to the local tourism economy, but I don’t know much about China’s approval process, I wonder if you can arrange a staff member to help me connect?”
As soon as Li Mu heard this proposal, he agreed on the spot and said: "The shooting venue was built with great difficulty and is so highly restored. It would be a pity not to preserve it. Well, I will ask Ziwei to arrange a staff member to handle this later. matter."
