Chapter 208 Behind the Giant Wall...

In the restaurant, because Director Carl didn't have much money, he ordered three set meals that looked good but didn't cost much.

And An's chest was already hungry, and she didn't pick at all as long as there was food.

Zhou Shu had just eaten more than a dozen meals that were rich in ingredients and extremely high in calories, so he didn't pay much attention to this meal, and ate it elegantly.

As for Fat Karl, he didn't come to eat at all. He took two polite bites first, and then began to talk about his movie project.

"Miss Danlow, please imagine that a handsome explorer is going to explore Asia. Yes, Asia. This is, what is the name of this gentleman?"

"You can call me Zhou."

"Oh, Mr. Zhou, you must be Asian, right?"

"Yes, East Asia, not far from Singapore."

"Oh my God, look, what is fate? This is fate. We are planning to take a boat to Singapore to film!"

"On board, the handsome explorer met a mysterious girl, charming, frail, restless, just as perfect as you, Miss Danlow..."

Due to Zhou Shu's participation, the plot here is completely different from that in the movie. Director Karl is very good at telling people what to do, otherwise he would not have been able to get so much money from investors to make movies.

If it weren't for the fact that no one watched the things he filmed, those investors lost a lot of money, but if he can make ends meet, even if he loses a little bit, he can still get more money to shoot the next movie .

After all, it was all lost like that, and there was another investor who spoke for him.

With such ability, this time's deception is naturally a complete victory, just a beginning and the name of the script author hooked An-Danlao.

After talking about the specific script, the fat director asked about her figure and what costume she was wearing.

With the previous foreshadowing, An knew that he was a serious director and wanted to shoot a serious long story, so the questioning this time did not cause a misunderstanding in the movie.

After confirming that she can wear No. 4 daughter-in-law, the fat director was very excited, he was right in his observation, his eyes have always been very... er, very accurate!
After finishing the heroine, he turned his target to Zhou Shu again.

He has already decided on the leading actor in the movie. It is a medium-sized star named Bruce.

However, a movie will definitely not only have male and female protagonists, but also a large number of supporting roles and extras.

He had already figured out that he was going to make a movie on Skull Island, so he rented a boat for this purpose, and the crew on the boat could use waste as extras, which was worth the $1000 he paid for the boat rental.

In addition, he will bring a few assistants, who can also act as extras.

If someone's play is good, he can still be promoted to a supporting role. After his movie is released all over the world and wins big, the supporting role can still become a star, and they will definitely thank themselves at that time.

As for Zhou Shu, they had a chat just now. Zhou Shu said that he came to college and was doing a work-study program, but Karl didn't believe it at all.

Going to school must be for school, because he doesn't think Zhou Shu's temperament is like an ordinary person, and because of his age, he should be a student.

But when it comes to work-study programs, he doesn't believe it at all. Are there any poor foreigners who come to New York to study these days?

Even if there are poor people, the government behind him will cover all the expenses.

In addition to Zhou Shu's clothes, although the style is ordinary and more work-like, the quality is not ordinary at all.

He also noticed that Zhou Shu's hands were free from calluses, roughness, and scars. There was no black mud in the nails, and the nails were very neatly trimmed.

Generally, such a combination is the configuration for the young master of a rich family to experience life.

As the saying goes, oh, right...

"No matter how poor you are, there must be a house and a car there."

It's something like this.

So he was thinking about how to get Zhou Shu on board. Zhou Shu said that his home was not far from Singapore, and although Zhou Shu didn't elaborate on his family's influence, he still heard a lot.

According to his analysis, Zhou Shu's family should have a lot of power in East Asia, and could even influence Singapore. If Zhou Shu is pulled onto the boat, maybe he can really go to Singapore to shoot something after filming Skull Island.

Even filmed throughout East Asia!
Nowadays it is not so easy to shoot on location in movies, not to mention the issue of funds, some places are not accessible to a certain class.

Especially the ancient East.

If I can shoot it all over there, I will definitely attract audiences from all over North America and even Europe.

In that way, he can really become a world-class director.

So he racked his brains to think of some words, and then struggled for a while before deciding on the language order.

He planned to ask Zhou Shu directly in the first sentence if he wanted to make a movie with them, and then see Zhou Shu's reaction to persuade him according to the plan.

Unexpectedly, just after saying a word, Zhou Shu said, "Okay."

"Mr. Zhou, please don't refuse, I think..."

After Zhou Shu answered, Karl didn't react for a while, and he was stunned halfway through speaking. He looked at Zhou Shu and asked, "Zhou, Mr. Zhou, what did you say?"

"I said that I am very happy to participate in filming, Mr. Director, I have never made a film before, and it feels very novel." Zhou Shu said with a smile.

In fact, he just followed Carl's imagination. Since the fat director thought he was a powerful person, he followed his tone and let the other party guess.

After all, he really has a lot of power, but he is not in this world, but when Carl arrives at Skull Island and sees the spectacle there, the director will not think about shooting in other directions.

Everyone's destination is there, he just takes a boat.

"Aha, that would be great!"

Carl was as happy as something.

He felt like he was hugging a thigh.

"Miss Danlao, Mr. Zhou, although I don't want to rush you two, we are a bit pressed for time..."

"Mr. Director, but I haven't packed my luggage yet." An said with some embarrassment.

In fact, her embarrassment was feigned. She couldn't wait to start work immediately. She didn't dare to go back to the apartment now, for fear of encountering the landlord again and asking for rent from her.

And when it comes to luggage, she has no luggage at all, and she has sold everything that can be sold.

If she wasn't afraid of the landlord's house inspection, she could even sell the original furniture in the house.

As for Zhou Shu, he just came here and didn't even have a wallet, let alone luggage.

It's just that Karl didn't know that he was anxious because he was "wanted" by those investors. Those investors were not philanthropists, and they would definitely catch him back, so he wanted to leave here as soon as possible.

So he said: "Don't worry, Miss Danlow, there is everything on board, so you, and Mr. Zhou, don't need to prepare anything."

Since Karl said so, An, who was just playing hard to get, immediately agreed, and Zhou Shu naturally did the same.

So Karl immediately called the waiter to check out, then hailed a taxi on the street and drove towards the pier.

They talked a lot along the way.

Ann and Carl chatted about performances and some general movie plots, while Zhou Shu told them what he had seen and heard about "traveling around the world".

Anyway, they haven't traveled around the world, and there are few information channels in the current world, so they use what he learned on the Internet in the real world and add some words to chat.

In this way, Karl believed that Zhou Shu was a person with a big background, and he was also happy that he took the route to the Far East.

As Zhou Shu talked more and more, showed his knowledge, and used coins to conjure two small magic tricks, An's eyes lit up seeing Zhou Shu.

Carl was also on the sidelines, saying that Little Magic can be directly filmed, enriching Zhou Shu's personality.

In fact, he has not yet decided who Zhou Shu will play, and there is no character design, so he has not been idle along the way, and has been thinking about Zhou Shu's role.

As Zhou Shu's identity became more and more "clear", he assigned more roles for Zhou Shu, or more and more playing time.

The car arrived at the pier quickly, and Ann sighed again at the huge luxury cruise ship. Carl explained that it was a small broken ship that looked small but was actually very big.

Zhou Shu watched the famous scene again.

After that, Carl introduced the photography team of up to two people to them, and then his assistant came over, pulled him aside and said, "It's broken, it's broken, I just heard that they are already on their way."

Karl gestured to Zhou Shu and the others to talk to the photographer, so he didn't understand what the assistant meant, so he asked casually, "Who?"

"Who else, our former investors," the assistant was very anxious, "They even brought the police, they called the police!"

Karl finally understood, and said bitterly: "Damn it, they came too fast."

He looked around and saw that the captain of the Adventure was not far away, so he asked his assistant to arrange Zhou Shu and Danlao on board. They are all distinguished guests, and he had to arrange a suitable room, and then he went to find the captain. .

"Hey, Anglehorn, we gotta go, unmoor, anchor, start the engines, we gotta go."

Captain Anglehorn glanced at him and said casually: "We can't go now, we are waiting for the manifest."

"what?"

Carl leaned over and asked, "What did you say? Say I can understand."

The captain handed the list to the crew and said, "You can understand it as a necessary document, without which we cannot set sail, Mr. Denham."

"Hey, buddy," Carl looked at Zhou Shu and Dan Lao who were about to board the boat, turned his head and whispered, "If you leave now, I'll give you another thousand!"

"Come on, I haven't given the one thousand I promised earlier." The captain's attitude was quite indifferent.

"Okay, okay, I'll give it now," Carl was defeated, took out the useless checkbook, took out a pen and said, "The agreed two thousand, will you accept the check?"

"Do I have any other options?" The captain was still in a strange mood.

The captain didn't know that the great director's check was invalid. If he knew, it shouldn't be as simple as yin and yang.

For now, getting the check is equivalent to getting the money into the account, so the captain let the adventure ship set sail immediately.

There is no need to care about the manifest or anything.

He has wandered around on the pier for so many years, and what he does is still capture rare animals and sell them to big shots, how could he not know anyone.

At this point, the original plot continues again, and a boat of people avoids the police and sails to the ocean without any risk.

However, because of Zhou Shu's joining, many details of the plot have changed.

For example, An stopped admiring the playwright named Jack so much, and put almost half of her admiration on Zhou Shu.

The arrival of Zhou Shu also made the already crowded cabin less, so that Karl had to squeeze together with his photography team.

Of course, this also has the advantage that they have more time to discuss the filming of the movie.

As for the playwright Jack, the code words are still in the iron cage in the warehouse.

Sure enough, the author has no human rights.

However, perhaps because of Zhou Shu's joining, Carl was very confident in this movie. He increased Jack's remuneration, which reached 3000 US dollars at once, so that Jack felt that living in a cage was acceptable.

After all, he has a drama dream, has written many scripts, earned a lot of money for the capitalists, and has not left a few dollars himself. When he was poor, he lived on the street. hand over.

Of course, adding money is not only because Party A has confidence and guilt, but also because he wants to change the script.

Zhou Shu's role must have a certain status, and the number of appearances must be arranged, so it needs to be changed carefully.

Time passed like this, and Zhou Shu also experienced the addiction of making movies. However, the current movie acting techniques are still relatively retro, and the meaning of acting is a bit heavy. It is not difficult for Zhou Shu to do it.

If it is really a life-like performance, or a performance without any trace, it is not very suitable.

He also chatted with the kitchen helper named "Cui" in the kitchen, but they couldn't chat on the same channel, so Zhou Shu stopped communicating with him.

When the ship arrived in East Asia and was getting closer to the destination, Karl also began to communicate with the captain frequently, asking him to go in a certain direction.

The captain said that there was no land at all in that direction, and he could not take the risk.

Carl said: "I can add money."

The captain said again: "That's nothing."

Carl finally said: "Anyway, I will give you the money. If there is nothing, you will have nothing to lose."

The captain was convinced.

The captain nodded, but the first mate who was in charge of sailing felt something was wrong. He chatted with the chef while eating, and the chef also felt something was wrong.

Compared with the other people on the ship, they also had indirect contact with a certain strange island here.

So when Carl and his assistants were discussing the later plans in the galley, they were surrounded by the first mate, the cook, and Jimmy, who was the youngest and most well-informed.

"Gentlemen, you seem to be looking for something. Our ship is very off course. This is not the route to Singapore at all."

Seeing this situation, Karl knew that he couldn't hide it anymore, so he said generously: "Yes, you are right, I am looking for an island, Skull Island!"

"Find it, take a picture, and show it to the whole world. You only need to spend twenty-five cents, and you can see the last secret in the world."

"Then me, my team, and you, we're famous, famous all over the world!"

Carl got more and more excited, and when he finished, the chef snorted at his words, "Don't think about that kind of thing, man."

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, the assistant asked, "What, what's going on?"

The chef said in a hoarse voice: "We met a shipwreck survivor. He saw the Skull Island you mentioned, and said that there is a solid wall on it, and behind the wall..."

"...It's a monster."
