Chapter 1419 1419. A Fei (3/5)

Chapter 1419 1419. A Fei (35)

The filming of the movie "Fury" has already started, and when the tiger tank is about to be filmed, Pete can't wait.

As the number one steel beast on land in World War II, the Tiger tank is the promotional role of this movie. Many World War II fans and military fans will enter the cinema specifically for it.

So, from the beginning of filming, Pete and the crew hoped to find a Tiger that could drive.

This is the job of the crew and the producer, and it has nothing to do with Pete, but this job is very difficult. The only tiger in the world that can drive is in the British Bovington Tank Museum. It is very difficult to borrow a tank.

The Bovington Tank Museum set out a series of harsh conditions, which the crew could not bear, and the two sides have been negotiating.

Then last month, by chance, Pete knew that Li Du still had a driving Tiger, so he seized the opportunity and quickly contacted Li Du.

Now, seeing this steel beast galloping on the screen, Pete smiled, and his efforts will eventually pay off. As long as this tank arrives, the film's most important final battle can be filmed.

It was the film crew who leased the tank, and Pete came forward to seek communication. The film crew believed that his fame could be converted into appeal. They investigated Li Du's identity and knew that money alone could not impress people, so they decided to let Pete come forward to lead the matter. .

Li Du is easy to talk to. He is not fascinated by the weapons of World War II. The purpose of photographing the Tiger tank is to make money. Since the crew can make money by renting tanks, he should just rent them out.

Pete showed the conditions given by the crew: the rental fee is 100,000 US dollars per day during the use period, and he will be responsible for the maintenance of the tank for half a year in the future. If there is any problem with the tank during the period, the crew will pay high compensation according to the agreement.

In addition, there are several other conditions, but they are all minor issues, such as giving Li Du some premiere tickets, inviting him to the premiere, being able to go to the crew to check the tank situation at any time, and so on.

Li Du looked at the contract and said, "One more thing to note is that the transportation costs of the tanks need to be borne by you."

Pete asked, "Hasn't the tank been brought to Los Angeles?"

Li Du shook his head and said, "Does Los Angeles allow tanks to enter? It's still in Phoenix, and I haven't found a suitable foothold here, so I can't bring it here."

After hearing this, the assistant leaned over to Pete and whispered a few words.

Pete smiled and said: "It's like this, Mr. Li, if you haven't found a place to stay, then I can introduce you to a few nice houses. They are all manor houses with a large area. I think it's good for you. It is most appropriate to say, after all, you have many people and you have multiple pets."

This was a surprise. Li Du was also looking for a house recently, but he couldn't find a suitable one.

There are many villas in Los Angeles, but villas are not practical for him. Pete said the manor is good.

Adding the transportation cost, Li Du accepted the lease agreement.

Pete was overjoyed. He didn't expect Li Du to be so happy. The main reason was that it was too difficult when they negotiated with the Bovington Tank Museum, as if the two countries were competing with each other diplomatically.

Li Du faxed the contract to his personal lawyer Neuberger, who quickly called him: "The contract is fine, but you have to notice that there is a small trap in it. They said that during the use of the tank, 100,000 yuan per day RMB 100,000 per day instead of 100,000 per day during the tank lease.”

Li Du noticed this. How could the other party offer a price of 100,000 yuan per day during the lease of the tank. They rented the tank for at least one or two months, which would be several million dollars. The crew is not stupid and rich.

But Pete told him that according to their expectations, the number of days that Tank participated in the filming should be four to five days, that is to say, Li Du could earn four to five hundred thousand dollars, which is quite a lot.

From this, it can be seen that making a movie burns a lot of money, just renting a tank costs so much!

In fact, Li Du didn’t know that this amount of money was not too much for the crew. The fee given by the Bovington Tank Museum was higher. The crew had to pay for the tank from the moment it left the museum. .

The contract was signed, and Pete invited them to lunch again.

This was an opportunity to develop contacts. Li Du didn't care about the rent of four to five million dollars. What he cared about was that through Pete, he could open up a channel to contact Hollywood stars.

After all, he is mainly engaged in the luxury industry, and Hollywood stars are the main consumers.

Pete's affairs here are very efficient. In the afternoon, when Li Du returned to Sophie's short-term rented villa, the estate information was sent to his mailbox.

Li Du was grooming the little eagle, so he asked the official to check the information of these manors, and then choose to see which one best meets their requirements.

Just like golden eagles and other raptors, Andean condors have to groom their hair every day since they were young. They are good at flying, and they need to borrow the wind when flying, so it is very important to have smooth feathers.

The little eagle didn't know how to comb its feathers yet. Normally, the female eagle was responsible for teaching this job. Li Du didn't know about it, so he led the little eagle around in the mountains, making its feathers extremely messy.

Sophie knew this knowledge, but Xiaoying didn't let her touch it, so Li Du was still in charge of grooming.

Combing the eagle's feathers is much more difficult than combing the feathers of Aao and Meow. Li Du can't use a comb, he has to comb them one by one.

From time to time, the little eagle yelled once or twice comfortably, and the voice was low and rattling, which was really not very pleasant.

Sophie drank ice water and asked, "You haven't named it yet?"

Li Du said: "Yes, I want to complete this work with you, but I already have an idea, how about calling A Fei?"

Sophie rolled her eyes and said, "Very good, it fits your usual naming style, and you should deal with it first."

Li Du said: "Then get up and give it a nice name."

Sophie said: "She is the overlord of the sky. She should have an elegant and majestic name, such as Hathor? This is the most beautiful goddess in Egyptian mythology, and she is also the goddess of the sky."

"Her? Is this child a female bird?" Li Du wondered.

Sophie laughed and said, "Of course, you named it without even distinguishing between male and female?"

Li Du looked at Xiaoying calmly and said, "A Fei?"

Kitty Hawk: "Karma!"

Li Du said again: "Hator?"

Kitty blinked, confused.

Li Du laughed and said to Sophie: "Look, although I don't know its gender, I know what name it wants. Ah Fei, that's the name. It likes this name very much."

Sophie was very angry: "You are cheating, don't ask for my opinion on naming pets in the future, my opinion is useless at all."

Li Du argued: "Of course it is useful. Our family is a democratic family. Your opinion may not be accepted, but I have to give you a chance to express your opinion."

Ah Miao and Ah Ao came and lay beside Li Du and asked Yulu to groom them equally. Li Du slapped them a few times and gave them to Sophie.
