Chapter 130

Soweto is one of the largest black slums in South Africa, where more than one million black people live.

There is only a mere 24 kilometers between "Heaven" and "Hell". To the northeast of Soweto is Johannesburg, the largest city in South Africa, which is the economic, cultural, political, and tourism center of South Africa and an internationally renowned metropolis.

And Soweto is also very famous, but it is famous for its chaos.

South Africa is one of the countries with the highest crime rate, and Soweto is one of the areas with the highest crime rate in South Africa.

In fact, don't mention that the crime rate in black slums is high. Even international metropolises like Johannesburg often have robbery incidents, which shows how severe the public security of the whole country is.

But decades ago, South Africa was completely different from what it is now.

At that time, South Africa was the richest and most powerful developed country in Africa, possessing nuclear weapons, and various weapons in the sea, land, and air were very advanced. It once had the potential to become the sixth permanent member of the United Nations Security Council.

Until a black president came to power, he was the pioneer of the equal rights movement and a great man in the mouths of Western countries, and also one of the pushers who led South Africa to an irreversible situation.

Since this president made the racial barriers in South Africa disappear, the political power was gradually completely mastered by black people, and countless black people immigrated to South Africa, while the white people who mastered the economy were constantly fleeing with funds. This directly led to South Africa's economy plummeting, the physical manufacturing industry suffered heavy losses, and it directly regressed from a developed country to a developing country.

There are about 4 million white people left in South Africa now, and the situation is divided into two types.

One is extremely destitute, the white people at the bottom of society gathered in slums, and their lives are only better than the black people in black slums.

And the other is extremely wealthy, the white people at the top of society living in big cities. They master most of the capital in South Africa. Here, they are people above people, enjoying almost all social resources.

As for white people of other classes, those who could run basically ran away, because here is one of the few countries where black people can openly discriminate against white people.

It sounds a bit ridiculous, because in the United States or Europe, it is black people who are discriminated against by white people, but in South Africa, everything is reversed, and white people have become a vulnerable group.

But regardless, even if the economy plummeted, South Africa is still one of the most economically developed countries in Africa. After all, Africa's foundation is too thin, being exploited by the whole world, and no matter how rich it is, it can't be rich anywhere.

When Miss Luo Quan arrived at Johannesburg International Airport, it was morning. Director Wu Jin led more than a dozen people to greet her in the airport hall.

"Director Wu Jin!" Miss Luo Quan shouted from a distance, raising her hand.

"There's no need to make such a big scene." Miss Luo Quan was a bit flattered to see so many people.

Director Wu Jin is a little taller than Miss Luo Quan, with a lean figure, bronze skin, and a heroic spirit between his eyebrows.

Wu Jin explained: "South Africa is not comparable to the country. Even big cities like Johannesburg are not safe. Two years ago, a business group from Zhejiang was robbed as soon as they left the airport. You are a girl coming here alone, I'm not at ease if I don't bring more people."

All the people who followed Director Wu Jin were a group of sturdy black bodyguards, all in camouflage uniforms and black sunglasses, looking like field special forces.

Miss Luo Quan asked curiously: "Are they all mercenaries?"

"They are bodyguards from a local international security company. Their professional ability is very strong. Although they are not mercenaries, they are not much different. I hired fifty people for you at once. The safety of our crew is their responsibility."

The two walked and talked, and Wu Jin mentioned to Miss Luo Quan the precautions in Soweto.

Most places in Soweto are relatively dangerous, especially in slums, where viruses, criminals, and poisonous snakes exist with various uncertainties.

Therefore, except for going out to film, individuals are not allowed to go out privately.

Soweto has large tourist hotels, which are very safe. The crew usually lives in hotels, and the environment is even better than some star-rated hotels in the country.

Originally, the play in Soweto was almost finished, but the original heroine's agent suddenly increased the price, and it was a lion's mouth. Wu Jin didn't agree, and the agent took the original heroine to take a plane back to Singapore the next day.

Now the scenes with the heroine have to be reshot. Miss Luo Quan knows nothing about the script and is a newcomer herself, so the entire crew will probably have to stay in Soweto for about ten days.

In fact, it's Wu Jin's own carelessness. He devoted himself to a series of work of filming, pulling investment, and finding filming locations, and was busy in a daze.

The filming contract was sent to the original heroine but never taken back. As a result, she didn't sign her name at all. When the play was half filmed, she suddenly proposed to increase the price. If Wu Jin hadn't found Miss Luo Quan in time, the loss of the entire Wolf Warrior 2 this time would have been too great.

"Speaking of which, how did you know about me through what channel?" Miss Luo Quan was very curious about this.

Wu Jin explained: "There is a field worker in our crew who likes to brush Bilibili. After knowing the situation of the crew, he recommended you to me. You can speak fluent Chinese and have a white face. You are the heroine we are looking for. You meet this condition very well.

I searched for information about you on the internet and knew that you are a big-name female singer. At first, I was afraid that we wouldn't be able to invite you..............."

Miss Luo Quan smiled: "What big name? I was scolded by everyone on Weibo before, and I scolded back with black fans. Later, Weibo blocked my account.

Now maybe the reputation is better, but I dare not guarantee how good it is. I am quite worried about what impact my joining will have on this movie."

Wu "Being scolded by everyone means you are popular." Wu Jin made a joke.

Miss Luo Quan complained: "It would be great if it were really popular. I just released an album a few days ago. Zhihu and Bilibili blew me up to the sky. One copy only costs 2 yuan, but until today, it has sold less than 160,000 copies. Everyone else went to listen to pirated versions."

Wu Jin smiled awkwardly: "After all, Chinese people advocate thrift, which is the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation............ But at least they have to pay for tickets for Wolf Warrior 2!

By the way, have you signed the contract?"

"Signed." Miss Luo Quan took out the actor contract from her backpack, in duplicate, and her name had already been signed. Wu Jin had an extra heart this time and planned to let Miss Luo Quan sign it before he signed it.

"Speaking of which, this movie won't have kissing scenes, nude scenes, etc., right?" Miss Luo Quan revealed nervousness between her eyebrows.

Wu Jin's expression was serious: "The original plan had them. If you mind, I can arrange a stand-in."

He could see that Miss Luo Quan was a bit repulsive to kissing scenes, but it was understandable. After all, she was an eighteen-year-old girl and not a professional actor herself. She definitely couldn't accept things like kissing scenes.

Fortunately, Wolf Warrior 2 is not a lingering love movie. Whether the kissing scene is filmed well or not is not important at all. Moreover, his wife is also in the crew, so let her take it then.

Miss Luo Quan, on the other hand, was relieved to hear that a stand-in could be used for the kissing scene.

Nude scenes are actually okay, but this kissing scene is absolutely impossible. However, if it were with a girl, it could be considered.

But in Wolf Warrior 2, there seem to be only three actresses with more lines, an aunt weighing more than 200 jin, and a little girl. This kind of scene is estimated not to appear.

South Africa is located in the Southern Hemisphere, and the season is completely opposite to China in the Northern Hemisphere.

At this moment, China is covered in heavy snow and freezing cold, while South Africa is in summer, and the climate is warm.

Don't look at Africa having the largest desert in the world, it sounds very hot, but in fact, the climate in many parts of Africa is very mild, far from as hot as said on TV.

And the shrubs here are lush, the vegetation is dense, and the land is fertile enough to scatter a handful of seeds, and it can grow and mature on its own without much care.

It's a pity that many farmers here are too lazy. Some people are too lazy to even scatter seeds, so that large tracts of good fields have been abandoned.

If the hardworking farmers in China knew about it, I don't know how much it would hurt.

"You can't just leave the land empty like this."

This sentence exhausted the most simple thoughts in the hearts of Chinese farmers. Farming is the only craft passed down to Chinese people by ancestors, and it is also the most practical survival skill in the world.

If the African people could understand these truths, perhaps Africa now would not be in such a state.

Coming out of Johannesburg, the motorcade dragged flying yellow sand and galloped on the open wilderness.

Originally, there was no road in the wilderness. When off-road vehicles ran more, it became a road.

In the wilderness, Miss Luo Quan didn't see too many animals. In the animal world she watched when she was a child, Africa was a paradise for wild animals. Here, there are the most large and medium-sized wild animals in the world. Lions, wildebeests, zebras, and elephants are all gathered in groups.

But these did not appear in Miss Luo Quan's eyes. Except for the black birds startled by the passing cars, no living creature was seen.

Miss Luo Quan searched Wikipedia and found out that most of the above animals live in the Kenya National Animal Reserve, while the places where wild animals gather in South Africa are in the South African National Zoo.

Driving in the wilderness for more than half an hour, Miss Luo Quan's face was covered with yellow sand. Wu Jin was originally worried that this delicate little girl would be scratched by hard sand.

Unexpectedly, she took the towel and wiped it on her face, not worrying about her skin at all.

What is surprising is that after wiping, her skin is smooth and white, but not even a white mark can be seen!

Miss Luo Quan's toughness made Wu Jin couldn't help but sigh in his heart: The quality of this face is a bit good............

No way, after using the skin quality improvement potion sent by the system, her skin toughness has far exceeded ordinary people. To put it bluntly, her face is thick. It looks more delicate than it can be broken by a blow, but in fact, if you scratch it with your fingernails, you can't even break the skin without effort.

Miss Luo Quan used to feel a bit awkward, but when she arrived in South Africa, she felt that this specialty was simply a divine skill!
