Chapter 817 817. Moon Valley

In the evening, the setting sun dyed the Moon Valley wine red, just like its name ‘Wadi Rum’, which actually means wine red in Arabic.

Nie Wei stood behind the door of the temporary tent where he was staying, holding up the SLR in his hand, constantly pressing the shutter, recording the beautiful scene in front of him in his camera, but just as Nie Wei was immersed in this 360-degree beauty without dead angles, the lens of the camera in front of him suddenly went black.

"Nie Wei, do you have instant noodles and water?" Nie Wei took away the camera and saw Fan Binbin, who looked tired.

"In the tent." Nie Wei pointed to his tent and replied.

Before the voice fell, Fan Binbin had already rushed into Nie Wei's tent. Nie Wei ignored her, took out a rag to wipe the lens, and continued to take his own photos.

About ten minutes later, Nie Wei's nose suddenly moved, because he smelled a strong fragrance from his tent.

Turning around, he found Fan Binbin sitting at the door of his head, holding a bowl of steaming old-style pickled cabbage noodles and looking at him.

"Do you want to eat?" Seeing Nie Wei turn around, Fan Binbin was stunned for a moment, and raised the bowl of noodles in his hand in a somewhat cute way, but his eyes were full of reluctance.

Nie Wei shook his head, and then found that Fan Binbin was obviously relieved.

A snoring sound soon sounded in Nie Wei's ears. With this BGM, Nie Wei was not in the mood to take pictures anymore. He took the SLR back to the tent and put it away, and then took out a bottle of mineral water and sat next to Fan Binbin who was eating noodles, and glanced at her by the way.

Oh, Nie Wei only then realized that she also took a bag of spicy cabbage from him.

"Haha, Nie Wei, you see, I haven't eaten vegetables for three days. This is the first time I know that I can't live without vegetables. I must eat vegetarian food for a month when I return to China..." After Fan Binbin noticed Nie Wei's gaze, he smiled awkwardly, and then started to complain non-stop.

The main reason is that the local food is really not suitable for Fan Binbin, or many Chinese people in the crew.

Because the locals mainly eat noodles and meat, of course there are vegetables, but the way they are made is very different from that in China.

In short, many people can't accept it, and at this time, some people bring instant noodles from China and become a great savior.

Of course, eating instant noodles alone is definitely not enough. Not to mention the issue of health, the key is that the nutrition is not enough.

You must know that the average temperature here is above 35 degrees, and the key is that the air is extremely dry. In the past few days, many people in the crew have been irritated by the hot weather. After all, the temperature in Kyoto at this moment is only 26 or 27 degrees, which is a pleasant time.

In such hot weather, actors like Nie Wei have to wear space suits weighing nearly 15 kilograms. This is not to mention that the temperature is too hot, and the actors in the space suits sweat and produce steam, etc. Everyone has to cover their heads with something similar to a shower cap, which further exacerbates the actors' hard work.

Before filming every day, all the actors have to take a pill to relieve the heat, and every time they take off their helmets after filming, they are sweating profusely.

"Can you still hold on?" Nie Wei drank a sip of water, and then asked Fan Binbin, who had finished a bowl of noodles and started to drink soup.

"Ah, it's okay. It's not the first day I've been an actor. When I was filming "My Fair Princess", I jumped into a cold water pool with only a few degrees. I didn't know anything at the time. I jumped when the director asked me to. When I was doing warm-up movements, I laughed with the actors next to me, but when I really jumped into the pool, I was completely confused." When saying this, Fan Binbin raised his shoulders, his eyes widened, and he looked very confused. After a few seconds, he laughed.

"I was really freezing to death. It was too cold. It was really too cold. But I shot that scene five times. I thought I would have a fever. But when I woke up the next day, I found that I was fine. Instead, the actor who jumped into the pool with me caught a cold. Haha." Fan Binbin laughed.

"Hehe, I still have a few apples in my bag." Nie Wei smiled and patted Fan Binbin on the shoulder, then stood up. Seeing Nie Wei's actions, Fan Binbin hurriedly asked, "Where are you going?"

"Discuss something with the consultant." Nie Wei answered, and then walked towards a gray tent not far away.

Fan Binbin didn't ask any more questions. She was just curious and didn't mean to ask questions. Looking at Nie Wei's back as he left, and thinking about what Nie Wei said just now that there were apples in his bag, Fan Binbin quickly put down the empty bowl in her hand and returned to Nie Wei's tent. She soon found a few apples wrapped in plastic bags in his travel bag.

"Five, six? How many should I take?" Fan Binbin thought about it and finally took two, one for himself and one for Luo Yuan later.

Nie Wei found the local consultant who came with the team this time. Nie Wei mainly came to ask about the communication problems of the next two venues.

The result was quite smooth. Except that the time did not meet expectations, the local time and location were agreed.

As for the length of time, the consultant also gave an answer.

"Originally, there was no problem with the length we proposed, but another crew came and said they wanted to reshoot here. There was no way, so the locals had to shorten our market because they heard that there was a large crew opposite. I believe you have heard of it, it is "Transformers 2 Revenge of the Fallen."

The guide's explanation made Nie Wei look surprised. The first Transformers movie achieved very good results. The key is that it has aroused great popularity around the world. It can be said that it has once again made the Transformers comic popular again.

As for the second movie, it is obvious that the production company behind it has great expectations for it.

Compared with The Martian, the Transformers crew, which has already gained super popularity due to the success of the first movie, is undoubtedly more valued by the locals. Nie Wei does not think it is unfair. This is the reality.

"It doesn't matter. The current time is enough as long as we hurry up. Can you help us buy another batch of fruits?"

"Of course, there is no problem. You make a list for me and I will complete it as quickly as possible."

After talking with the local consultant, Nie Wei ran to another tent. The people living here are staff sent by China's Space Agency. They are also here to assist Nie Wei in filming and provide him with some aerospace knowledge within their capacity.

Of course, the Space Agency is not a voluntary sponsor. Although nominally it supports the development of national space films, in fact, Nie Wei also opened his pockets and sponsored the Space Agency with a full 20 million Chinese yuan, nominally to support the research work of the national space industry.

Of course, Nie Wei felt that the 20 million was worth spending. After this consultant joined, many of the wrong knowledge in Nie Wei's script was corrected one by one by this consultant. In addition, the consultant gave very important suggestions on the production of some props, including spacecraft, Mars rover, etc.

After Nie Wei finished his work, the sky was gradually getting dark, and the filming work was about to begin again.

The temperature difference between day and night in the desert is very large. It is 35 or 6 degrees during the day and drops directly below 10 degrees at night. Before filming, Nie Wei looked at the thermometer and it was less than 6 degrees. The staff who were still wearing vests and shorts during the day had already changed into down jackets and cotton pants.

At this time, the space suit is the most popular prop.

When Nie Wei arrived at the set, Fan Binbin had already put on her space suit, and she also wore a woolen hat with a pompom on the tip. Nie Wei couldn't help but pull it.

"Are you born in the Year of the Cat?" Fan Binbin said with a smile.

"Very cute." Nie Wei smiled and praised her. Fan Binbin in the crew was completely different from the usual queen-like Fan Binbin.

Fan Binbin in the crew was really unkempt. Nie Wei even saw Fan Binbin picking his feet while reading the script on the set more than once.

"You have good taste." Fan Binbin raised her hand with great effort and gave Nie Wei a thumbs up. After she finished speaking, she did not forget to report to Nie Wei: "I took two of your apples. I ate one myself and gave one to Luo Yuan."

"I thought so. That girl always looked at me with a strange look just now. It turns out that it was here." Nie Wei smiled and said to Fan Binbin: "In fact, I told Luo Yuan in the morning that I didn't bring any fruit."

"Ah!" Fan Binbin opened her eyes wide in surprise, then looked at Nie Wei with an apologetic face and was about to apologize.

Fan Binbin felt a little sorry at this time. Although it was Nie Wei who lied first, it was also because of her that Nie Wei's lie was exposed. She was not afraid that Nie Wei and Luo Yuan would have a gap or quarrel because of this. It was impossible to think about it. She just felt that she was doing something unnecessary and was really embarrassed.

"Okay, I lied to you." Looking at Fan Binbin's appearance, Nie Wei couldn't help but laugh again. This girl was sometimes shrewd and scary, and sometimes she was naive and scary.

"You're annoying." Fan Binbin shouted angrily amid the laughter of the people around him. After shouting, he was still not satisfied and hit Nie Wei twice.

Of course, this was just a joke between the two of them. Fan Binbin couldn't be angry with Nie Wei because of this. He just took this opportunity to play around and enhance the friendship between the two.

After a while, the two did not mention this topic again, but shifted the topic to China.

"You also received the invitation to the BAZAAR Star Charity Night? Are you going to participate this year?" Fan Binbin asked. This is considered a big event in the entertainment industry recently.

BAZAAR Charity Night is a charity gala specially for stars and celebrities. The items auctioned that night are all private items of stars or some things made by themselves. The value is not important, what is important is the love.

Since the charity night was held in 2003, Nie Wei would ask his assistant to participate on behalf of himself and Shu Chang every year, buy some small things and bring them back, which is also considered to be doing his part, but he himself has never attended this charity event.

Fan Binbin, on the other hand, has attended three times, and is considered one of the celebrities who attends the charity night the most. Moreover, Fan Binbin not only attends, but also donates a sum of money every year. Nie Wei also admires this woman's dedication to charity. He can see that Fan Binbin is not just for fame, but really has a kind heart.

"Shu Chang seems to be going to participate this year."

"Is it because she is too idle at home?" Fan Binbin asked with a smile.

"Absolutely correct." Nie Wei replied with a smile. Shu Chang is really idle, so idle that she is a little panicked. In addition, Nie Wei is far away abroad and has no time to accompany her, so Shu Chang has started to take a lot of work recently, including this charity night event.

In Nie Wei's opinion, it is good to participate in such a charity night. It can not only show the positive energy of a star, but also help some disadvantaged groups. So after Shu Chang asked for his opinion, Nie Wei agreed with Shu Chang's participation in this event.

"Please take care of Shu Chang when the time comes. This is her first time to participate." Nie Wei said to Fan Binbin.

"No problem, I'll take care of her." Fan Binbin wanted to pat his chest, but found that it was inconvenient to move in a space suit.

She was going to finish filming earlier than Nie Wei. She would finish filming here in a week at most. The rest was the scenes to be filmed in China, so she would not be absent from this year's BAZAAR Charity Night.

"Okay, get ready, we have to shoot, otherwise we won't be able to shoot if the wind blows." Nie Wei stood up and said.

You know, once the wind in the desert blows, it will not be small. During this period, Nie Wei's crew has experienced gales of level 7 or 8 more than once, and even encountered a gale of more than level 10.

Five days later, Fan Binbin returned to Kyoto with some actors. The next shooting would take at least half a month, while Nie Wei and the rest of the people stayed in Jordan to continue shooting the outdoor scenes. However, since the remaining scenes were basically all Nie Wei's one-man show, the shooting was also accelerated rapidly, and it was expected to be completed in a week.

After returning to Kyoto, Fan Binbin only rested for one day, and then went to the villa where Nie Wei and Shu Chang lived.

This was not the first time she came here. When Nie Wei and Shu Chang held a warm house party, she was among the few friends invited. Later, Shu Chang invited her to be a guest more than once, but every time she came to this manor, Fan Binbin still felt envious.

Shu Chang waited at the door to greet Fan Binbin. After the two sisters met, they exchanged greetings, and then Shu Chang invited Fan Binbin into the villa.

The two had too much to talk about when they met, especially about Nie Wei. Shu Chang had a lot to ask Fan Binbin.

"Don't worry, Nie Wei eats well and sleeps well, and he is the most energetic in the entire crew."

"He didn't get tanned, I'm so jealous, I used so much sunscreen, you see I got tanned, I didn't even see what he used, but he didn't get tanned at all, even his skin wasn't rough."

"You worry too much, the women there are more conservative than each other, even if your Nie Wei is interested, he won't be able to find a partner."

"Don't worry, don't worry."

After answering a bunch of Shu Chang's questions, Fan Binbin didn't forget the task that Nie Wei had assigned to her, and found a free time to ask Shu Chang: "Have you prepared the auction items for the Basha Charity Night in a few days?"

"Ah?" Shu Chang was startled, obviously at a loss.

Seeing Shu Chang like this, Fan Binbin understood, and deeply agreed that Nie Wei's original instructions were correct. If he didn't come, this girl might really go to the event empty-handed.

Thanks to Fantasy Paradise and 0773 for their generous rewards.
