rising director

"Don't worry, Mark, I will never do anything to hurt Jessica before the United States announces the ban on guns." Wan Xiaohu vowed.

Mark is very satisfied.

It is estimated that it will take 500 years for the US government to ban guns.

Where is the best place to go hunting?

Africa of course.

Wan Xiaohu, who owns a private jet, took the Mark family to South Africa, the southernmost tip of Africa.Rich people like to hunt prey in Africa, and the country with the best economy and good security in Africa is South Africa. Even the elementary school textbooks of the former country listed South Africa as a developed country.

Of course, in reality, the gap between the rich and the poor in South Africa is very large. Some large cities may have reached the level of development, but most areas are still very poor.As an African country ruled by white people back then, it has been disabled by its own racial policies.

In other words, it was the victory of the black uncles.

In the former South Africa, whites occupied an absolute position. Later, for the sake of democracy, the votes were expanded, and apartheid was lifted in 1994.The result is good, the black uncle gradually eroded the rights of the white people, and completed a great reversal, from poverty to a big city.As for the white people, the rich white people quickly emigrated and left, and the rest of the white people walked into the slums from the big cities.

After blacks came to power, the only white slum in the world was born.

These black people may be influenced by the traditional hunting history, they don't know what construction is, and they are not qualified to govern a country.In many industries, it is stipulated that only blacks and mixed races are recruited, and many white technicians cannot get jobs because of this.And in many high-tech industries, Uncle Hei can't play at all, and even some black people who can't even open a computer have become employees of the technology department.

More black people only spend money but not make money. The only way to make money is to rob...

Over time, South Africa's economy declined rapidly, and the unemployment rate rose sharply. South Africa, which was known as "Africa's America" ​​back then.It has ceased to exist and has been reduced to a developing country.

(So ​​the country must not allow black uncles to immigrate to the country, and all black people in the Guangzhou-Shenzhen area should be deported! The status of the yellow race cannot be tarnished!)

It doesn't matter to Wan Xiaohu whether South Africa is good or not, but he does have ideas.Buy a few gold mines and diamond mines in South Africa for fun.But considering that I don't know anything about mine occupation, and I don't have my own weapons, it's better to put out this idea.

Concentrating on hunting is king.

In southern Africa, because of the lush savannah, there are many wild animals.In order to make money, a large number of hunting grounds have been opened up here.In addition to the recuperation period in December every year in South Africa, from January to November, you can hunt casually with money and enjoy various package services.

For $9800, you can hunt an impala, a warthog, and a blue wildebeest at the trouser hunting grounds.

For $11800, you can go to the munnk hunting grounds to hunt an impala, a warthog, and a white-faced wildebeest.

For $19800, you can go to the top and luxurious Ekron Hunting Ground - the favorite hunting place of European nobles, Eastern chiefs and Hollywood celebrities to shoot a lion.

Except South Africa.Wan Xiaohu and Mark are also planning to go hunting in two other African countries, Mozambique and Botswana.

It costs US$48000 to hunt a leopard worth US$8000 and weighing about 90 kilograms in Mozambique.

For $78000, you can go to Botswana to hunt a 5.5-ton elephant (two at a discounted price of $108000), and you can legally import and collect ivory.

For $158000, you can hunt a 4.5-ton white rhino in Botswana.

In this legal hunting enjoyment that has been in existence for hundreds of years, the hallmark of the hunter's hunting career is to hunt the Big Five (force g-fve) elephants, rhinos, African bison, lions and leopards.

It is not difficult to see that many of them are protected animals.Hunting is not illegal in Africa, though, and it even promotes wildlife conservation.It was once home to thousands of wild animals roaming freely.However, humans forcibly occupied their habitat and converted it into a livestock farm to raise cattle and sheep.This has resulted in a sharp decline in the number of local wildlife.

But from the early 20th century, some ranchers decided to abandon their pastures, move their livestock out, restore wild animal species, and support hunting, and South African wildlife ushered in prosperity.The reason for its success is that hunting makes the farmer profitable.Can make more money than livestock farming.

For example, Botswana has more than 15 elephants. According to international conventions, they issue certain licenses every year, and they can hunt about 500 adult elephants a year.The whole process is under the supervision of local officials, and the license will be canceled on the spot after the hunting is completed.These elephant herds are at the expense of these 500 old elephants.In exchange for a large area of ​​habitat.

Perhaps this is helpless luck.

Mark Alba likes hunting very much. After retiring from the Air Force, his business hobby is to go hunting everywhere.He once went to Canada and went hunting with dog sleds.In Canada, you can shoot a polar bear for $78000, and you can shoot a black bear and catch cold-water rainbow trout for $148000.

"The price in Africa is very cheap. I thought about coming here a long time ago. You know, although Canada allows you to shoot polar bears, you may spend a whole week without even touching the faces of polar bears. Even black bears are not easy to come across. , I went there a few times, but I didn't see a single one."

After staying in a five-star hotel in Pretoria, the capital of South Africa, Mark began to prepare to adjust his hunting equipment, several different types of shotguns, crossbow bolts, pistols and anesthetics.

By the way, I would like to share my hunting experience with Wan Xiaohu: "Other places are too expensive. If you go to Iran, it will cost you 28000 US dollars to hunt a mouflon goat for you. In Alaska, you can take a private jet for 30000 US dollars." Shoot a 3-meter-high brown bear, and you can also go to British Columbia, Canada, and take a seaplane to the Rocky Mountains to hunt the world’s largest deer—the moose. It’s just that these two shows are more like entertainment than hunting. .”

"Hmm." Wan Xiaohu responded casually.

He is not very interested in hunting. Although he is not an extreme animal protectionist, he also thinks this kind of hunting is meaningless.In order to improve the relationship between the husband and the son-in-law and to travel to Africa, this hunting trip was made.

Therefore, during the one-week journey, Wan Xiaohu didn't touch the shotgun a few times at all, but just followed Mark, watching him find, approach and kill the prey with great pleasure, and then Wan Xiaohu was responsible for paying the bill.Fortunately, Mark prides himself on being a high-end hunter.He only hunts for g-fve.

In the end, when they left Africa, their luggage contained a pair of tusks, a white rhino horn, and a pair of bison horns.time is limited.Mark did not hunt lions and leopards.

"Do you want to keep it as a collection?" On the plane, Mark kept showing off his harvest, taking out the ivory from time to time, and asked Wan Xiaohu.

"Dad, is it an honor to hunt? Stop showing off. You have killed many innocent lives." Jessica couldn't stand her father's showing off and retorted speechlessly.

"It's hunting, legal hunting, and the Lord allows His people to do whatever is lawful."

"The Lord taught us to do good. Not to kill!" Jessica objected loudly.

Mark shrank his neck, no longer separated from his daughter, but winked at Wan Xiaohu: "Women always limit a lot of fun for men."

Wan Xiaohu spread his hands to express his support.

Immediately, both Weng and his son-in-law laughed.

……

After finishing hunting in Africa, Wan Xiaohu continued to focus on the post-production of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes".Time flies, and good news comes one after another.

January 2008, 01.One of the five Oscar vanes, the 07th North American Film Critics Association Awards.announced.The best animated film was won by "Kung Fu Panda".

On January 2008, 01, affected by the screenwriters' strike, star directors were collectively absent. The 13th Golden Globe Awards ceremony could not be held, and only a press conference was held at a reduced standard.It took half an hour to announce the list of winners in front of reporters.

For the first time in the 65-year history of the Golden Globes, it was originally intended, even without an awards ceremony.After the press conference, there was a celebrity meeting and a champagne party, which was also refuted by the Screenwriters Guild and canceled.Therefore, Wan Xiaohu's proud moment in life was ruthlessly deprived of it.

"The Best Animated Feature Award at the 65th Golden Globe Awards is... Kung Fu Panda."

On TV, the host quickly read out the winning works.

Undoubtedly, it belongs to "Kung Fu Panda".

"Congratulations, Ger, you have won the Golden Globe!" Jessica jumped at Wan Xiaohu happily.

"Be careful, my son." Wan Xiaohu quickly supported Jessica, "Unfortunately, I didn't get to show up at the awards ceremony and enjoy the applause, damn George Clooney!"

George Clooney, a political speculator, is a well-connected actor in Hollywood and also a director.Other celebrities regard public welfare undertakings as an extension within their capabilities, while he has completely become a political spokesperson and regards political propaganda as his own career.

For example, this scriptwriter strike became his moment to show himself. Many actors had been invited to the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, but George Clooney wooed them one by one and said he would not attend the Golden Globe Awards.

For this, Wan Xiaohu is not happy, but he will not curse him because of it.

The reason why Wan Xiaohu cursed was because these Hollywood stars were all full and hungry, and they were at odds with the country on the Darfur issue.Including Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt and other world big names, the responsible country with a clear banner is inhumane on the Darfur issue.

But in fact, the Darfur issue is not provoked by Western countries led by the United States for the sake of oil interests.As a result, the anti-Japanese armed forces supported by Western countries failed to defeat the friendly Sudanese government. Therefore, Western countries began to accuse the country of being inhumane and supported the Sudanese government to massacre the anti-Japanese armed forces and so on.
