Chapter 778: Early completion of filming and dragging people into the water

The Death Angel is indeed not likable. Everyone who needs to make a living on the interstate highway hates and detests them.

But there is no way. The number of these people is too large, and with the expansion and expansion of the entire gang, they have gradually begun to more systematically exploit the large trucks making a living from the state-level highways.

I don't know why, the Perez family suddenly started to take action against this group of people. Their territories overlap.

However, the Death Angel making a living on the interstate highway is definitely not the opponent of the Perez family who rules the city. For a time, they suffered heavy losses.

This move won the appreciation of a large number of truck drivers. They also sold a lot of information about the Death Angel to the Perez family, helping them better eradicate this group of people.

Most people don't know what they are going crazy about, but some people, a few, understand.

Lanse said it was the Death Angel's people who did it.

Regardless of whether it is or not, this gave the Perez family a chance to vent their anger, and at the same time, they could also show their strong muscles, letting those eyes peeking at them converge again.

This can also be considered as indirectly doing a good deed for the masses, so although they are a bit excessive, society has not tended to be chaotic, but rather tended to a more stable state.

The federal government did not interfere with the Perez family's actions.

Because the Death Angel is a criminal organization that spans multiple states and has no specific headquarters, and its mobility is very strong.

So organizing the arrest of them requires the cooperation of multiple states, which itself is a very troublesome thing, so they have been left to their own devices.

For the federal government, the Perez family doing this, besides being able to eradicate a tumor, also helped them save a large amount of expenditure.

When everything is tilted toward the war, saving a little is always better than wasting a little.

Besides these old men whose interests are related to them, those who pay high attention to the war between the Lanse family, the Perez family, and the Death Angel are the criminal investigation department newly established by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Before the new director took office, the main work of the Federal Bureau of Investigation was "investigating who is speaking ill of the President" and "who is conspiring to harm the President," and at the same time, it also helped the President frame those political opponents.

But with the new director taking office, the proposal he put forward to obtain higher law enforcement power than local police began to be submitted to Congress, and some things had already begun to develop in the direction of the script already written.

This is actually a clear means of centralization, so neither the Presidential Palace nor the Congress will stop it. Instead, they will help the Federal Bureau of Investigation implement this matter as soon as possible.

This proposal is still in the submission state and has not been voted on and passed for the first or second time. Within the Federal Bureau of Investigation, they have already begun to pay attention to these gangs in the Federation.

The new director-general is a young man of thirty-seven, with golden hair, thin and narrow cheeks, and a hooked nose. He doesn't look like a character to be messed with, and he also gives people a dangerous feeling.

The room is full of characters he selected. Behind him, a senior agent is explaining the organizational structure and main members of the Death Angel to these people.

It can be seen that they are all very serious.

At the same time, they are also very respectful to their new director, and they are not affected at all by some rumors outside about "the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation is good at licking hooks."

Almost all of them and this new director are alumni of the same school, many people have joined the same fraternity, and besides a few senior management, the supervisors of the departments below are all young people who have just graduated, or graduated for only one or two years, two or three years.

They are like a blank sheet of paper, and have already begun to be doodled by the director.

The director, who looks older than them, is actually a blank sheet of paper at this moment, and the one drawing him is not the President, not the Congress, but precisely these young people in front of him who are being drawn by him!

Perhaps using the word "mutual achievement" can better reflect his emotions at this moment.

In a trance, he turned to look at the blackboard, gave the explainer an encouraging look, and then watched very seriously.

The wind outside the window rolled the grass leaves dancing in the air. The real summer has already come.

Lanse took off his straw hat and stood in the shade of the tree fanning himself. To be honest, the weather is really too hot, but the filming of the movie is almost at the final finishing stage, just like what they are filming now.

The male lead will ride on the last torpedo, and then control it with his hands to ensure that the last torpedo can sink the battleship of the Dantela Republic.

Although this plot is very ridiculous, the two directors, screenwriters, and everyone know this, but the feeling when it is filmed gives people a very surprising positive feedback!

The Federation is a country that pursues individual heroism. When the male lead exchanges victory in the war with sacrifice, that kind of shock is enough to make everyone speechless.

Of course, this scene is not easy to shoot, but fortunately, Lanse has had enough creativity for a long time.

Use a huge glass tank and some human-powered water wheels to simulate the waves, so that you can also shoot the feeling under the ocean.

Simply put, they built a transparent swimming pool!

The male lead rides on that huge torpedo, one hand clutching the necklace with his girlfriend's photo and family photo, and the other hand holding the torpedo tightly.

He controls the forward direction of the torpedo by stepping on the steering structure of the torpedo with his legs.

At this moment, whether it is reasonable or not is no longer important!

The moment he rode the torpedo and hit the "hull," the set suddenly became quiet.

The two directors looked at each other after about twenty or thirty seconds of silence, nodded, and all the live-action filming ended!

The male lead jumped out of the swimming pool, shook the water stains on his head, and panted slightly. "I want to know, did I survive in the end?"

This is a very stupid question. He also knows that this movie has many places that have no logic and are not reasonable, but it doesn't prevent him from feeling the core of this movie.

The individual's attachment to family and lovers, and the responsibility to the country, their collision, entanglement, struggle, and the final explosion, completely sublimated!

The character he played told people with his choice that without a country, there is no home.

And this is also a line of the male lead. Before he was about to ride the torpedo to "set off," he took out the last half of the cigarette and lit it, while tasting it carefully, he said this to his superior who tried to stop him—

"If I don't go, you don't go, no one goes, then the next one facing them will be our parents, wives, children!"

"We should do our things, let this country become the guardian of every home. Without a country, how can there be a home?"

He looked a bit haggard, but there was a glimmer of light in his narrow eye slits. "Now it's just my turn to defend our country, defend our home. You should be happy for me, not sad."

"I fulfilled a man's responsibility, fulfilled a soldier's duty, may..." He took the last puff of the cigarette and handed the remaining cigarette butt to his superior. "The Federation is prosperous!"

Then he resolutely fixed himself on the torpedo. In order not to be pushed down by the water flow in the water, he needed to tie himself completely to the torpedo.

A charge that was bound to die, he didn't have the slightest hesitation. Ignoring various unreasonableness, the power of the strong heart shown made everyone shocked!

Facing the male actor's question, the two directors smiled and didn't say anything, just shook their heads.

In fact, there are two endings here. The first ending is that everything ends in an explosion, but there is another ending.

One morning after the female lead read the letter from the military and was confused for a period of time, a guy with a jacket hooked on his finger and a ruffian look leaned against the door and looked at her with a smile, saying "good morning."

It's just that the male lead himself doesn't know, because this scene has already been filmed and used at the beginning of the plot.

Next is some "special effects shooting." The torpedo navigated by human flesh blew up the last battleship of Dantela, winning valuable time and space for the Federal Navy to regain control of the East Ocean, and even counterattack the Dantela Republic.

After all, this is not a story that really happened, so some subsequent content is just a stroke.

Next is to cut all the materials into a film and then conduct a test screening.

Because the entire project is Lanse's personal investment and decides everything, he also has great power when editing.

This toss was more than a week, pressing the time of late July and early August, and the finished film was made.

It is worth mentioning that in this process, the Federal Film Committee applied for by Lanse was also approved. Of course, this couldn't be without the effort of Senator Cleveland.

It is said that he also had an unpleasant time with two other senators, but these were all told to him by Tang Mu.

After all, Jinzhou is too far from here. Lanse doesn't know what happened here, but he will make Senator Cleveland realize that helping him is valuable.

After seven o'clock in the evening, the main creative team came to Lanse's cinema, where there was a small test screening today.

Patricia was already showing, and had some reactions. Considering her physical health problems, Lanse didn't let her come.

The movie is 110 minutes in total, which is already considered a super-long movie in this era.

Now movies are generally about an hour, fifty minutes or so, and there are very few that are so long.

Of course, this doesn't mean there are no big movie sets, and movies of three or four hours or even five hours also exist.

After the cinema darkened, people began to be attracted by things on the big screen.

Sometimes you have to admit that movies shot on black and white film have a thick taste of the era.

And those tones unique to this era, still clearly carrying a stronger and thicker opera style, people will interpret it in a more exaggerated way, and haven't gotten rid of the influence of opera and stage plays on movies.

The more excellent the actors, the more so, because they are not just movie actors, but often also opera actors.

The opening is slow-paced, but there are all kinds of scenes foreshadowing a bad future everywhere, for example, the huge battleship model in the souvenir shop by the sea in Jincheng suddenly sank into the seabed.

For example, a large number of seabirds suddenly flew to the distance without looking back, and for example, the male and female protagonists would have some small accidents at work, hurting themselves.

These hints, omens, there are many. Both directors call this a new film language. They are fascinated by this and believe that Lanse is the most outstanding producer, director, screenwriter, and possibly actor in the film circle at present.

The rhythm of the movie became very fast after passing the warm early stage. Those real shelling pictures and shaking lenses made many people exclaim.

Lanse suddenly felt someone grab his hand. He turned his head to look at Barbara sitting beside him. Her palms were full of sweat.

"Are you nervous?" Lanse asked.

Barbara nodded. Lanse took out a handkerchief, wiped the sweat from her palms, rolled it into a ball, and stuffed it into her hand. "Patricia is already four months pregnant."

He reminded Barbara, not that Lanse's little puppy wasn't working, but that he had experienced a lot and had self-control.

Barbara's expression didn't look very good and she didn't look at Lanse again.

The movie ended after 110 minutes, and everyone at the scene couldn't help but stand up and applaud.

The big director took the initiative to walk over and hug Lanse. "This movie and you will be recorded in history, Mr. Lanse!"

This sentence made Lanse very happy. This might also be considered a kind of immortality.

He patted the big director's arm. "You too!"

Then Lanse received more praise and blessings. This is definitely a cross-era movie, with a plot that hooks people's hearts, and pictures that are unreasonable but full of visual effects and emotions.

Everything is telling people one thing: this movie will sell well!

Lanse didn't have the idea of taking the movie to Jinzhou to show Senator Cleveland, but Senator Cleveland would soon come to Jincheng because the naval base was here.

Many military supplies are also transported from here to the front line. Here currently has an extraordinary role.

As a relatively core senator of the Congress, to some extent, part of the duties he needs to perform also belongs to the President.

The war has been going on for four or five months, and no heavyweight politician has visited the "front line." This is not right.

They might be discussing the issue of who comes and who doesn't. Senator Cleveland was selected, and it is also possible that he competed for this result.

As for the real front line, it might need people like the Speaker of the House of Representatives or the President of the Senate to visit.

Besides these things, the person Lanse invited also arrived in Jincheng.

The Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Commerce of Rapa, Mr. Casia.

This Mr. Casia and Alberto have a good relationship. Last time he was invited to come to the Federation for a business investigation.

But the result of the investigation disappointed him. It wasn't that he didn't see anything of value from the Federation, but that what he saw and heard didn't help Rapa at all.

Rapa is a purely agricultural Alan regional country with a population of 12 million, which is not a small country in Alan.

But the economic pillar of this country is primitive jungle and agriculture and animal husbandry. The economy of the Federation is built on a perfect industrial foundation.

He saw many excellent projects, but there was no industrial foundation in the country. Even if it was introduced, it would be a big trouble.

He could only get some manual light industry content that didn't need electricity or machine tools back, and export raw materials through rough processing to the Federation to get some economic growth.

This is his second time coming to the Federation, and it is still private, invited by Lanse.

After receiving him, Deputy Minister Casia asked curiously, "Why didn't my Alberto friend come?"

He and Alberto have a good relationship. On the other hand, it is also because he and Lanse have only met once and lack some mutual trust. If there is a friend they are both familiar with, it will be much better.

So he asked where Alberto was as soon as he opened his mouth, which is also reminding Lanse that it is best to find Alberto.

Lanse shook his head slightly. "I regret to tell you, Mr. Casia, Alberto is already dead."

"If you want to see him, he is buried in the cemetery now."

Because he didn't have the bloodline of the Pasleto family, nor did he have this surname, he couldn't be buried in the Pasleto family cemetery and could only be buried in the cemetery.

Hearing this news, Deputy Minister Casia was shocked. "This... is really too terrible!"

"I didn't expect such a thing to happen. When did it happen?"

Lanse simply explained the origin of the matter. After he finished listening, he sighed heavily.

"A man worthy of respect!"

Lanse agreed with this point of view.

The motorcade seemed to be wandering aimlessly on the street, wandering in the prosperous area.

After a while, he asked, "Mr. Lanse, then why did you invite me here this time?"

Lanse handed him a cigarette. "Make money."

"Make money?" Mr. Casia, who had just received the cigarette, was stunned for a while. He didn't react, but soon he realized that he was a bit shameful like this.

He hurriedly put the cigarette in his mouth, took out a lighter to light it for himself, "Do you mean my personal, or do you mean Rapa?"

"Both."

Lanse's words were ambiguous, but in the ears of Deputy Minister Casia, they had some different flavors.

If a person has never seen heaven, then he is in hell and feels calm.

But when he has seen heaven, he can no longer endure hell.

This change might be something he can't feel himself. After returning to the country, what he says most often is "how the Federation is," seeming to want to prove that his point of view is correct through such a way.

Because in their eyes, the Federation across the sea is a typical representative of success!

Sometimes he also thinks, if he lived in the Federation, or even was a federal person, he wouldn't have so many troubles.

At this moment, Lanse said these words, he might not have realized it himself, but he didn't dislike it.

"I am the Deputy Minister of Commerce, but Mr. Lanse, I don't quite know how to make money!" he replied.
