Day 153 Guadal Island (1)
The Qian-name Guadaló refers to Guadacana, a narrow island in the area. It belongs to one of the Solomon Islands and of course, the most famous one. The reason why it is famous is that an unprecedented war broke out here. The two sides of the war were separated by the United States and Japan. From August to February of the leisure year, the fierce competition in February of the year of Peng year has been written a brilliant chapter in the history of World War II, and is famous all over the world for the watershed of the Pacific War!
Although it is April, Cheng Yingxinan still felt that it was not surprising that a heat wave rushed out of the plane. Guadalo is located in the area around the south latitude. Anyone with a little geography knows that such a greatness can almost be equated with the existence of the equator. Naturally, the hot weather can be imagined.
Fortunately, the Pacific Ocean breeze blows gently, which brings abundant rainfall, and also brings a little coolness to the environment where you will work in many days in the future. It will not make people feel very unbearable.
Cheng Hanxinan looked around and saw a rice-shaped flag flying above the terminal of the airport. This place is still a colony of the Commonwealth. It is not until Chennian that he officially announced it. His English listening and speaking ability in the official language is the same as Ai Fei, and there is no problem with this kind of dialogue.
Walking out of the airport lobby, there was a foreigner wearing colorful Hawaiian sleeved shirts and waving a sign, looking around. The sign was written in Japanese: "Sheng Jiu Nanjun." I don't know where he found someone who could write Japanese to write for him?
He became a man who was near-popular and poisoned to him: "Hello? I am a man who is near-popular and poisoned."
"Ah" the man took off his sunglasses and looked at him: "Hello, hello!"
The two shook hands: "My TV station was stationed in Guadalam to be responsible for the preliminary contact and material preparation. The liaison officer who responded, my name is Mark Anthony."
"I'm glad to meet you, Mr. Anthony."
"Just call me Mark." Mark smiled loudly: "I heard you speak English! So there was no arrangement for an interpreter. You know. It's so difficult to find someone who speaks your language here."
Chengbian Xinan is a little strange. He can’t find Fanze. How did your text come from? Who wrote it for you?
Mark saw it and smiled: "You don't know, I spent US dollars. Please ask the Chinese in the city to draw it on the fax file according to your name."
"I understand!" Cheng Zhuang Xinan also praised the other party's agility: "Are there Chinese people here?"
"Some, but very few." Mark threw the sign aside: "Let's go? The car is ready."
The two walked out of the airport hall, and there was a mess outside. I don’t know if there was a government or someone responsible for the management. The loud sound of car horns made people’s eardrums hurt! Outside the terminal, there were cars parked at will, crowding the originally spacious road. Small motorcycles relied on their agility to shuttle around the traffic, which was not only dangerous, but also added pressure to traffic.
Mark took Cheng Yingxinan a few steps and pointed with his hand: "Let's go up here?"
Chengbian Xinan suddenly laughed: It was actually a Toyota car produced in the Concao Nian? In such a country, I actually saw the cars produced in his own country, which was quite interesting?
When I got into the car and turned on the electric fan in the car, it was completely unsatisfactory. After only leaning on the leather seat, sweat oozed out of the old man's back. Mark introduced him: "I'll take you to the hotel for a rest later. Then in the afternoon, you can take a walk around the island. This car can be handed over to you for the time being. Can you drive, right?"
After receiving the other party's affirmative reply, Gai Ke continued: "Then tomorrow I will come to pick you up at the hotel and take you to see Mr. Bishop, who is responsible for public relations at Zhao TV Station. He will explain to you about the previous work. He will also listen to your requirements for the materials, personnel and equipment needed for filming TV series. Then feedback it to the country and think of a way to unsheath."
Before Cheng Hanxi Nan came this time, she had a long time of communication with Ai Fei. The latter's requirements were very simple. In addition to the arrangement of the shooting site and the search for mudflats, the most important task was to establish a Japanese village today on Guadao! It is used for the crew to shoot the Japanese expatriates, military families, and officers who originally lived on the island.
In Ai Fei's words, "Guadao has a area of Lido square kilometers. It should not be a big problem to find such a relatively small area where there are relatively few local people living, so we must build this village for shooting as soon as possible.
Of course, he is the only one now. If necessary, Japan can quickly send a professional team to the scene, or find suitable workers to do this work in the local area, just to look for a house in Japan today. Isn’t it that I invite His Emperor to visit?
Ai Fei thought he was funny, but he was rolled by everyone present. Obviously, these people didn't want to hear someone joke with his respected emperor, which made him very embarrassed and not mention it.
This time, Cheng Ying Xinan came with a purpose. Naturally, she was not willing to waste any time. After listening to Mark's introduction, he shook his head: "I'm sorry, Mark, can I see Mr. Bishop today?"
"What, are you in a hurry?"
"Ah, right? Our plan is to prepare to officially let the crew enter Lihe at the end of the month, and then,"
"Understood.
"Mark is quite easy to talk to: "Since this is the case, I don't think there will be any big problems. Let's go to the office first." When he started the car, Mark honked his horn like a madman: "Dudu!Dudu!Dudu!"
“Is this always the case here?”
"Especially in this season." Mark explained with a smile: "Now more and more people choose this place as a place for vacation and travel. Naturally, it brings a lot of benefits. Do you know? When you get to the beach, you will see that there are too many locals selling coconuts, fruits, and handicrafts. There are more people there, but there are no cars and it won't seem too crowded."
"The people here" are very cheap?"
"It's very cheap. A normal worker doesn't make a fortune by working hours a day, and you know? The women here are really worried and use words. He whistled a big whistle: "It's like a heaven!"
Cheng Ji Nan immediately understood that these Americans are very romantic and happy here, but it can be seen that Mark is a guy without any wits. Otherwise, he wouldn't have talked about such topics when he first met him, right?
The car drove out of the busiest area, and the road conditions ahead were much better, and the speed could also be increased: "We are now moving along the Pacific coast. This road is called Ellison or Aleutian" and sometimes I don't understand the local language. In short, it is a road built on Gua Island. It drives forward and falls for minutes, which is the central area of the island we are going to. This time the office we are stationed here is in the city center."
“What place is there?”
"Ah, that's the dock Mark's casual look: "It's the only dock in the entire island that can pass through the water and the outside world.
"If a large ship comes in, can it be docked?"
"I mean, if you want to shoot, there may be a large number of people and supplies to be transported into Guadalam by ship, so
"Ah, I understand! There should be no problem with this. Who seems to be deep here? It's full of big ships that can be docked.
As he spoke along the way, Mark introduced him to the simple geographical situation of Guadalam. The car drove off the highway at the fork of an interchange and headed towards the city. After driving for more than ten minutes, he finally drove into the center of the city. It was similar to what I saw at the airport. It was full of spacious streets and the roadside was full of tall tropical trees and shrubs. However, although the road was very wide, the middle of the road was full of vendors, with hawking sounds endlessly, and it was a lively scene.
So Mark honked the horn again, and moved forward with difficulty amid the hawkers rushing up to sell. Fortunately, the office location was not far away, and soon the car stopped. The two of them went upstairs side by side.
Mr. Bishop is not very old this year. Because he is very powerful, he looks older than his actual age. He also contributed to the country during World War II, and most importantly, he participated in the Marine Corps. He participated in the Battle of Guadalam and later the Battle of Iwo Jima. He is not particularly unfamiliar with these two places, at least he is much stronger than many of his colleagues. Later, he was injured in the Battle of Vulcan. After returning to China to recuperate, the war ended.
His current job is to be the deputy manager of the department responsible for public relations affairs. This time, such a TV series is about to enter the planning stage. As the deputy manager of public relations in the TV station, he also has a certain understanding of this island. If he didn't choose him to come here to be responsible for the preliminary work, it would be unreasonable!
Of course, Mr. Bishop would never feel this way. He was born in Minnesota. He lived in a world of ice and snow since he was a child. There was no way to fight during wars. Now it is a peaceful era. He was sent to such a hot place all day long, which also made this, a devout Christian, raising his middle finger to the sky ten minutes after getting off the plane!
However, work is work, and it will not be ignored because of personal dislike and unwilling to accept it. In the following period, Mr. Bishop quickly found the unique enjoyment on this small island: first of all, women. Although the women here have a little darker skin, they are very gentle and sweet, making the white old Americans who have always lived in women's strength increasingly reflected and respected. They feel a unique exotic style.
The second is food. The food here is mainly seafood. For a person who has not had many opportunities to eat seafood since childhood, on the one hand, it is financial ability, and on the other hand, it is determined by Minnesota's geographical location. In less than two months, the old man knew that he must have gained a lot of weight. His big belly obviously bulged up, and when he was squinting, he couldn't even see his dick. This made him feel a little troubled. He was not very willing to come here, but how did he look like this in the end?
The office door was opened to people, and Mark and Cheng Xiangxinan walked in: "Mr. Bishop. This is Mr. Cheng Bin from Japan. Mr. Cheng Xiang, the public relations person in charge of contact and arrangements on Guadalam by Mr. Bishop's TV station."
Bishop was stunned for a moment. Didn’t he say that he would arrange for the guest to stay and meet him tomorrow? Why is he here now? He hurriedly reached out and shook with the other party: "Hello, I’m very happy to see you!"
"I am Cheng Bingxi Man, please take care of Cheng Ying Xi Man. I have seen many people on the market. I know that Americans are not used to the Japanese bowing method, so I just nodded, even after saying hello: "This time I have to work, you have to arrange for Mr. Anthony to greet me at the airport. I really want to trouble you.
"Where! This time we are no longer in a hostile relationship.
As we all know, Americans have always been very polite to their friends or partners. Bishop smiled. He waved his hand and said in Japanese: "Please sit down, Cheng Yingjun."
"Will you say our words?"
"I learned a few words back then. In recent years, I was able to see some guest stones from your country at work, haha! You won't believe it. Sometimes I will serve as a receptionist as a Fanze?"
A few simple chats. Mark brought a cup to the two of them, which contained green liquid. He just took it in and put it in front of him before he could smell the fragrance of the fruit trees: "This is a fruit produced on Gua Island. The locals call him Huahugo. It is a kind of growing grass. And the more lush the grass, the sweeter it grows, but you must add a little whiskey when drinking it, otherwise it will be very astringent."
"It's so green that it's crystal clear." Cheng lazy and happy man picked up the cup and looked at the crystal green inside: "Do you think the locals also have whiskey that can be mixed in?"
"Hahahaha." Bishop and Mark laughed! Jianshushu said that Xunshan's different body clams are easy to go outside.
