After leaving the hospital and walking back the other way with the bodyguard, we passed by their wealthy area.
In fact, in Chen Xing's opinion, the houses in the wealthy areas are at most a little higher in floor level. They feel like half-renovated country villas with ugly wall designs. However, it is possible that this is the tradition of Africans.
Bobo pointed to a building in the distance and said: "Boss, that is your Chinese Embassy." A familiar red flag.
Against the background of some low-rise buildings around it, the Chinese Embassy looks particularly majestic. Most of the houses in the capital of Sudan are about four stories high, with very few high-rise buildings. However, the city planning is very good. The roads are horizontal and vertical and relatively wide. But if there are more green plants, it will probably look better.
But the cost is too great. Most of the country in Sudan is still desert, plateau and basin, with very little forest coverage, and most of the fertile land is occupied by South Sudan.
This is very interesting. Sudan is a country in the desert, while South Sudan is completely landlocked country with tropical rainforests, grasslands and swamps.
In Africa, they are also the poorest. It has only been ten years since the founding of South Sudan, but some shadows of America can still be seen vaguely in it.
They are also really peace-loving. These two brothers are still fighting to this day, so tourists should not go to the junction after coming here.
Back at the hotel, Laifu Bode was sitting. When he saw Chen Xing come in, he immediately said with a straight face: "Chen, you are not trustworthy!"
"What credit?" Chen Xing was confused for a moment. Did I promise anything?
"We agreed that we would go out together to find excitement. Why did you go alone?"
"..." Chen Xing was a little speechless when he heard what he said. I didn't say I would go out with you...and I went to meet fellow villagers. What's the point of following a foreigner who doesn't speak Chinese?
"There's nothing to play with. Didn't I come back?" Laifu Bode was originally joking. After hearing Chen Xing's words, he smiled and said, "That's true. It seems that there is no one in that hospital that you want to I want prey, otherwise you will definitely not return to the hotel tonight." You guessed wrong.
The female doctor is very good-looking, and the two traveling girls are also good. If Manman hadn't broken her leg, or if Azi was alone, Chen Xing would definitely have taken action.
He had no idea about Dr. Tang. He still has great respect for volunteers who come to such a poor environment.
Moreover, there are not many good girls in the country. Speaking of girls, Song Shulan sent him a message on the way back just now.
Due to some things this year, the college entrance examination, which was postponed for a month, ended yesterday. As soon as Song Shulan got her mobile phone, she sent a WeChat message to Chen Xing, explaining what she had been doing in the past few months, and expressed her thoughts in a very intimate tone.
But Chen Xing could guess it even if she didn't send these messages. After all, it is the sprint stage of the college entrance examination. With the principal's character, he will never let any external factors disturb the students' study.
Laif Bode suddenly looked around and found that there was no film crew behind him. He put his arm around Chen Xing's neck and said, "Friend, I heard about a very good bar. Let's go over and have some drinks?" Sudan's bar?
Chen Xing was a little excited. He had been to domestic bars and European bars, but he had never seen what African bars were like.
"Is it safe?" Lavbode said: "It's on this street, and the bodyguards of this hotel are obliged to protect us. We can ask one to be our guide and translator. Let's go, I only want this kind of good thing I called you." Bobo, who was following Chen Xing, just went to drink a glass of water, and when he came back, he saw a Frenchman holding a five-yuan Sudanese pound.
Why else would I come to this hotel to work as bodyguards? These foreigners are so generous!
"Where do you want to go?" he asked in English.
"Of course it's a bar!" In the few hours that Chen Xing was out, he had figured out the place, but if Chen Xing didn't come back, he wouldn't dare to go there alone.
The only way to do this is with Chen Xing. Ford was very close to the professor and had a somewhat honest personality. Laifang Bode did not dare to take him to the bar for a drink.
If he told the professor, and then the professor mentioned it to his mother, he would have to shed his skin even if he returned home.
The distance is really close, it only took ten minutes to walk there. However, both Chen Xing and Laif Bode were disappointed by the scene inside. Almost all the people here were locals.
Neither of them have much interest in black girls. But it’s all out, so let’s sit down and have a glass of wine before going back.
The environment inside the bar is relatively dark, the music is playing loudly, a black singer is singing on the stage, and the people who come to drink are sitting with misty eyes, which is exactly the same as in domestic bars.
Not for girls, how many men are willing to come to bars to spend money? Chen Xing and Laif Bode found a place to sit down and each ordered a bottle of beer.
"What did you see when you went to the hospital?" Lavbode asked curiously. After all, this was their work for the next few days.
"It's the same as a normal small city hospital. The difference may be that this hospital has eight doctors who come from top hospitals in China to support us. Patients and other medical staff in the hospital respect them."
"What? Is Professor Nobel crazy?" Lavbode was surprised.
"Isn't this a complete Chinese hospital?" Chen Xing looked up at him. Laifu Bode put away his surprised expression and explained: "I don't think there is anything wrong with this, but the French TV station invited the professor Isn’t it bad that too many foreigners appear in the Sudanese documentary?”
"Maybe the professor also has his own considerations, and it has nothing to do with us. After all, this is the most real Sudan, isn't it?" The two were chatting about their future shooting plans, but suddenly a figure appeared in front of them.
At first, neither Chen Xing nor Laif Bode noticed. When he spoke, they were both startled... As I said before, in order to create an atmosphere, the light in this bar is relatively dim. There are many black people in this bar. The situation seemed to be wearing an invisibility cloak.
And the music is so loud that I can't even hear footsteps. He said: "Two foreign friends, can I sit down?" Laif Bode shook his head and said: "I'm sorry, do you have anything else to do?"
"Foreign friends, my name is Karl, and I am the tour guide here. I can take you to see the most beautiful scenery in Sudan." Both Chen Xing and Laif Bode thought this person was suspicious. Besides, they came to Sudan to do business. , where is the time to travel?
He refused the black man's request.
"No need." Chen Xing said.
"You're welcome, friend, I'm a good person. In fact, I have a better idea. Do you know? There is a magical drug in Africa that can allow you to experience unprecedented pleasure. Just spend a little money, no, no, I can give it for free first..." Before he could finish his words, Bobo grabbed his collar and pulled him up.
He was sitting three meters away from Chen Xing and the others. When he saw someone striking up a conversation, he didn't care at first. He just listened carefully to what the person wanted to say to the boss.
But seeing Karl take out the small bottle, Bobo took action immediately. Karl's random hands touched and knocked down the beer on the table, attracting the attention of many people in the bar.
"What do you want to do? Let me go!" Karl said.
"I don't care who you are, if you let me see you near these two gentlemen again, I will swell your face. Do you understand? This is a guest of our Abdul Hotel!" Chen Xing wanted to advance Let's go before we get into any trouble.
But Lavbode is very interested in this good show. Life in Africa is so boring. It's not easy to encounter such interesting things. How could he leave?
Moreover, they are not afraid even if they are taken away. They are not wrong in this matter. The guide in the film crew was also a very powerful person in Sudan, which gave Laif Bode a lot of confidence.
Carl's eyes widened when he heard Abdul's Hotel. Who knew that these two foreigners were guests of the Abdul Hotel.
This is the best and safest hotel in Sudan. The backstage is very hard, but the charges are also very expensive.
You can all stay in this kind of hotel, what kind of class, and come to the same bar as me? He knew he was in big trouble and began begging for mercy.
"Boss, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." Karl said,
"I just want to make some money, I don't want to hurt anyone." At this time, the owner of the bar came over. He already knew about it from his subordinates. Hearing Karl's sophistry, he snorted and said, "You make money." ? Do you know what you are doing? You are bringing disaster to this country!" They spoke in Arabic. Chen Xing and Laif Bode could not understand them, but they could understand the general meaning from their actions.
Chen Xing guessed that the person who suddenly interrupted was the owner of this store. Sure enough, he quickly said to the two of them in English: "I'm sorry to frighten you. I won't charge you for your consumption in my bar today. My name is Ali, and you are welcome to travel to Sudan..." Chen Xinghe Rifbold looked at each other.
Lavbode asked: "What are you going to do with this guy?"
"To the police, of course,"
"No! No! Don't! Mr. Ali, please forgive me. I promise not to do such a thing again, please let me go! The police will kill me!" Sudan's judicial system is not transparent, and demands for bribes are serious. , and he himself doesn’t have much money. You can imagine what a miserable life he will encounter after entering prison.
If I had known better, I wouldn't have caused trouble to these two foreigners! He burst into tears and came up to hug his thigh. The boss couldn't bear to see his expression, but under the gaze of other people in the bar, he kicked Carl's hand away mercilessly and said, "How could the police kill you? It's nothing more than going to jail." Carl's face turned pale. I was so scared.
Seeing that the boss had no intention of protecting himself, he stood up and wanted to run, but after taking a few steps, Bobo got his neck stuck.
These bodyguards are very strong. Chen Xing thought. The two of them chatted about their own topics and watched the Sudanese police come to deal with this matter. It was like watching a very refreshing scripted killing. After seeing the villain being caught, I don’t know what Laif Bode thought. At least Chen Star is very cool.
It is best to sell this kind of thing at noon, otherwise something will happen sooner or later. It was getting dark, so Chen Xing and Laif Bode walked out. Laif Bode was in high spirits and said in the tone of a lawyer in a French TV series: "Any crime will be brought to justice! I didn't expect the security of Sudan. Not bad." Bobo said: "They are afraid of Mr. Abdul. You live in his hotel and are protected by him."
"Abdul?" Chen Xing had never heard of this name and asked, "Who is he?"
"Mr. Abdul is the biggest gang boss in Sudan, but that happened many years ago. Now he is a philanthropist and entrepreneur, and the hotel you are staying in is his property." Laif Bode understood clearly He nodded and said: "No wonder the guide said that the hotel has the ability to protect us. It is really capable." After returning to the hotel, the two of them made a tacit understanding and did not mention this matter. They just said that they went to a Muslim restaurant to eat.
The next day, filming officially started. In the second half of the filming, Chen Xing was also promoted to a member of the main photography team, responsible for controlling a high-power aerial camera that had just been delivered.
Drone photography is now very common. After being converted from the military to civilians, drones were quickly used by the photography industry to replace expensive helicopters as a means of aerial photography, and soon became the best means.
So it is said that good drone pilots earn a lot of money, which can be seen from here. No matter how high it is, it’s not as expensive as renting a helicopter.
There are not many aerial shots that can be used in the hospital, but in order to have more aerial shots in the documentary, Nobel returned to his old profession and took the crew to the Sudan National Park to shoot many shots of wild animals from high altitude.
He wants to use these shots to illustrate various transitions in the documentary. Ford was watching the whole thing. Chen Xing's stable control of the drone made him more and more sure of his idea.
When the day was over and Chen Xing was about to go to the cafeteria to eat Xiaozao, Ford stopped him and said, "Chen, my good brother." Chen Xing shivered inexplicably, folded his hands and asked, "What do you want to do? "
"Do you still remember my previous proposal? Animals in Africa are migrating now. There is no footage of flying through the migrating animals in the world. We can be the first. We can create a new way of shooting. .”
"Shooting with a time-travel machine? Hasn't this been done for a long time?"
"They haven't come to Africa, and they don't have your technology... Chen, don't you want to see it? Millions of wildebeest, zebra, antelope and other animals migrate from Tanzania to Kenya in search of food and water. This This kind of scene can only be seen in Africa. We went on a trip and shot a 40-minute documentary. It was very simple."
"A 40-minute documentary?"
"Yes, the documentary does not stipulate how many episodes it must have. We will shoot scenes of animal migration. I have thought about the lens and the story, but I am just missing a photographer." Chen Xing heard that it only had 40 minutes, and it was gone. Previous hesitation.
"That's okay. You said you would only shoot for 40 minutes." Chen Xing thought he was going to shoot a feature film. This was too time-consuming for Chen Xing. He didn't want to stay in Africa and bask in the sun, but he made sure to do it before leaving. You also want to see the Great Migration, otherwise it will be in vain.
Isn’t that what the interior of Africa has to offer?
