Ever since returning from going to the desert to test the gun, Wei Ran took care of the first and last parts and never left the studio again.
The results of this test gun are very remarkable. Among other things, with those finely processed bullets and the unique straight trajectory of the 20mm large-caliber bullets, the accurate shooting distance of the anti-tank gun has barely been improved to 1500 meters in length.
From this distance up, it is no longer a problem with the bullets and firearms themselves, but rather with his own current shooting skills, which extend further. Even if small-caliber bullets are used, even the current distance may have to be compromised.
And these undoubtedly require a lot of practice to make up for.
But obviously, it is not realistic to practice with that shady anti-tank gun. The most he can do is to take advantage of the opportunity to study at the Hongqi Forest Farm and use other large-caliber weapons in the future. Treat firearms as substitutes and slowly improve your shooting ability in an honest and fair way.
However, these leisurely days came to an end when Ji Ma came back from the UK with 88,800 pounds, an income figure that was pleasing to the Chinese people.
"Victor, are you really not going to accompany me to Kirov?" Jima Weiran asked again after putting away the check.
"How many days have it been?"
Wei Ran clapped his fingers and said, "That old guy named Leva has been discharged from the hospital? Are you sure it's appropriate for you to go now?" Just send the money over and you'll show up. Why didn't you just hide it in the drawer and wait until he got home, then knock him out and take him to the hospital?"
"Uh..."
Jima scratched his head and was about to say something, but Wei Ran spoke first, "Besides, you know Leva very well? I at least bought a camera from him, what about you? You Have you ever seen him? Speaking of which, where is the camera I bought? "What's your camera?" Ji Matian said shamelessly, "That's my camera. I have it in my car." Found it, my camera."
Giving the other party a middle finger, Wei Ran didn't look into the camera and asked instead, "Did Mr. Charlotte say anything?"< /p>
"I told you, just two."
Ji Ma made a scissor hand gesture and replied, "First of all, he asked me to tell you that you either go to see him yourself or Send someone who can speak English or Italian to meet him."
"What's the other one?" Wei Ran asked, ignoring the fart request.
"Another thing" Jima paused, "Did Aurora take people to Mr. Charlotte's place to play?"
"That's the case." Wei Ran nodded, "What's wrong?"
"Mr. Charlotte said that in the future, tourists who are so generous can send more to him."
Ji Ma looked weird. Said, "I heard him say that the international students and teachers at Aurora bought almost all the good things in the souvenir shop downstairs at once.Only some of the most worthless jewelry remained. Even the bar run by his son next door was booked out by a girl for a birthday party all night. "
Where did you get these little things from? Wei Ran muttered to himself, but also did not take the second thing seriously.
" Victor , and the third thing. Jima said suddenly, "But this matter has nothing to do with Mr. Charlotte, it's my idea." "
"Speak directly." Wei Ran picked up the silver moka pot that Charlotte had given him and poured a small cup of coffee for Jima.
"What do you think? How about making a movie about Charlotte’s story? "Ji Ma patted his chest and recommended himself, "I think I can play the German reporter Pell this time. "
"Forget it, you play that well." Wei Ran looked at Ji Ma dumbfounded, "What's the matter? Are you addicted to making movies? Don't you want that camp? ”
“This is not a conflict, is it? "
Jima continued to encourage, "That British guy Charlotte looks like Mr. Alexander. They are both rich and generous people. I think he will be happy to invest a sum of money to make this The story was filmed, right?"
Wei Ran shook his head and asked bluntly, "Even if he is willing, then why does he have to ask us to make a movie? ”
“Of course because we are cheap! "
Ji Ma said confidently, "Just watch! After we finish filming "To Friendship in the Blizzard" in the winter, if he wants to make a movie about his father's experience in North Africa, he will definitely be willing to consider us. After all, no matter what, you dug up the truth of this story. Isn't it? "
"You are quite confident," Wei Ran joked with a smile.
"You still have to have confidence." It was not Ji Ma who said this, but the person who worked at the travel agency next door. Mr. Nicholas after lunch.
Hearing the sound, Wei Ran and Jima stood up quickly and respectfully greeted this old man who lived an extremely free and easy life.
"I just overheard your conversation"
Nicola sat down at the long table with a smile, and said while Wei Ran was pouring him coffee, " Victor, although I didn’t listen to everything, I think you can consider your suggestions for next quarter horse. ”
“Making a movie? "Wei Ran handed the other party a cup of coffee, "But I..."
"It's not a conflict, is it? "
Nicholas did not touch the cup of coffee. Instead, he took the cigarette handed to him by Jima and held it in his mouth. He let the latter light it for him, and then he continued to speak in a puff of smoke, “You just need to tell a good story, which does not conflict with your identity as a historian. If you can direct and shoot a few good movies, it will further increase your popularity. ”
“Mr. Nicholas, do you think making movies is too easy? "Wei Ran asked with a grin on his face. Forget Ji Ma's unreliable bad idea, why did this old gentleman join in the fun?
"ShootHow difficult can movies be? "
Nicholas said nonchalantly, "Even that bastard Culp participated in a movie in France when he was young. Although it was not an important role, the movie was very famous. ”
“Mr. Culp has also acted in movies? Jima looked at Nicholas in surprise and asked, "Which movie is it?" ”
“You don’t need to know this. "
Nicholas changed the subject at the right time and said, "Let's do this! Jima, call Dalia and ask her to come over as quickly as possible to discuss it together. If Victor, a coward, has no objections, we will set up a company ourselves and see if we can make some good movies. . "
"I'll call right away! " Jima, who was not too concerned about the fuss, immediately took out his mobile phone, dialed Teacher Dalia, and walked outside the studio.
"Mr. Nicholas, yes... yes Is this necessary? "Wei Ran looked at each other blankly. He didn't even think about it. Why did these two idiots get so attracted to each other?
"I remember you said a year ago that you wanted to be a war reporter? "Nicholas looked at Wei Ran with a smile, "Since everything is captured with a camera, isn't it safer to make a movie than to go to the battlefield? "
"That's what I said..." Wei Ran muttered hesitantly. He didn't really want to refuse, he just simply didn't like the matter.
" It seems like you, a little guy, are really only suitable for looking through historical materials in the library." The disgust in Nicholas's voice was not concealed at all, "When it comes to making money, you don't even have as sharp a sense of smell as Ji Ma. "
"But..."
"Historian is just your disguise"
Nicholas said abruptly, "Anyone can This identity is true, but you can't. On the other hand, if you don’t know how to make money, and you happen to be surrounded by a group of friends who want to help you make money and need a certain skill from you, all you need to consider is the harm this will bring to you. "
Nicholas paused for a moment when he said this. Seeing that Wei Ran seemed to have listened, he continued slowly, "If you can't think of any harm, then why not accept it happily? "
"I'm wondering what good this is for you," Wei Ran said directly.
"I need money too, don't I? Nicholas said with a smile, "There is such a rare opportunity to make a lot of money easily, why not seize it?" ”
“That’s all?” ”
“What if? "
Nicholas glanced at Ji Ma who had hung up the phone outside the door, lowered his voice slightly and continued, "We are just some people who have stayed together after losing their strongest support. They are just poor bastards living in a world that does not belong to us. If you have the opportunity to make yourself and those who rely on you live a better life, of course you must seize it. ”
“I’ll take the examThink about it." Wei Ran cautiously gave an answer full of escape routes.
"There is still a lot of time," Jima said, picking up the silver moka pot on the table and pouring himself a cup. “This coffee pot is nice, how about giving it to me? "
"It's already yours." Wei Ran nodded dumbfounded.
"You see, this is the benefit I have obtained for myself. Nicholas tapped the coffee pot lightly, "If you don't try it, how will you know you are willing to give it to me?" "
"Can I still refuse? "Wei Ran said, pushing the silver coffee cone on the table to Nicholas with a smile on his face.
"At least on the matter of whether to set up a company to make a movie together, you can There is absolute freedom. ”
When Nikolai saw that Dima had pushed the door open, he simply changed the subject and asked enthusiastically about his experience of studying acting in Finland. From time to time, this octogenarian old man unexpectedly He also gave some suggestions that made Jima's eyes shine. As for Wei Ran, who lost a silver coffee pot, he was completely ignored by the old man and the young man.
In the blink of an eye. At noon, Dalia, who was wearing a formal suit on a hot day, followed Mr. Nicholas, who was also wearing a suit, and walked into Weiran's Time Studio with a smile.
"Well, yes. Does it need to be so formal? ”
Wei Ran lowered his head and looked at the beach shorts, flip-flops and baggy T-shirt he was wearing, and then at the suits on the other two, and for a moment he had the idea to go back upstairs to the bedroom to change clothes. The impulse.
“Appropriate clothing can bring a psychological advantage in negotiations. "Dalia looked at Wei Ran with a smile and joked, "Just like now, a certain little guy seems to be going back upstairs to change clothes? "
"Forget it"
Wei Ran picked up the coffee pot on the table casually, poured a cup for each of them, and said mockingly, "Even if I wear a medieval suit, Even if I put two layers of body armor on top of my armor, I won't have any advantage against you. Mr. Nicholas, Teacher Daria, please sit down. "
"It seems that you have learned a lot from Gorman," Dalia said, gently pulling out the chair and waiting for Nicholas to sit down before sitting next to another person.
"Please, don't ask me to recall anything about Mr. Gorman. Wei Ran grinned, "Let's talk about business." ”
“Have you made a decision? "Nicholas looked at Wei Ran who sat down last with a smile, and the satisfaction on his face was not concealed at all.
