You are a star, why do you have all the skills from the underworld?

The original gang of gangsters was indeed planning to run away.

Ten million dollars?

Haha, I want to eat shit!

While I was hanging out on this street, you were still having barbecue in the mysterious ancient oriental country! Why were you blackmailed?

But who would have thought that before they could even run away, they would be detained by the local police. Although Xu Yi and the others are part of the crew, they are also foreign guests. Maybe this is a diplomatic incident.

Coupled with the influence of the intermediary company, the gangsters had no choice but to admit defeat.

Only then did he have to reveal the news of a shipwreck.

After Xu Yi heard what Lu Yilian said, he asked:

"Chief Lu, what do you mean?"

"I am just a person engaged in literature and art, and I don't know much about this." Lu Yilian said modestly, "But if there is a shipwreck, maybe some civilizational achievements of great historical value can be salvaged. I don't think it is a bad thing."

Xu Yi:......

Are you embarrassed to say this?

You are engaged in literature and art, so what am I engaged in?

Being an artistic girl?

Nonsence!

This guy is a serious entertainment star! Why did you steal all my lines...

However, the second half of Lu Yilian's sentence can be regarded as an euphemistic expression of his attitude. However, if we want to go to sea to salvage the sunken ship, it will inevitably be a huge expense. Lu Yilian's budget definitely does not include this part of the expenditure, so he cannot make the decision.

We can only find Xu Yi, the investor, to find a solution.

What can Xu Yi do?

Every penny and every dollar of his money is hard-earned, and he is not allowed to throw it into the sea and let it go.

But...the shipwreck!

Xu Yi had seen a lot of similar news before. Anyone who salvaged a sunken ship would probably make a fortune. Of course, it is also possible that those who lost money but did not make a fortune had no chance to be in the news at all.

After pondering for a moment, Xu Yi said:

"Chief Lu, do you mean to do something?"

"I didn't say that..."

Lu Yilian was startled by Xu Yi's words.

What to do?

Where's the money to get one?

I just want to finish this movie well, and it will be considered a production for the General Army Art Center this year. As for salvaging sunken ships, it is not within the business scope of the General Army Art Center. On the one hand, he does not have the budget, and on the other hand, he does not have the business capabilities.

Seeing Lu Yilian's clear look, Xu Yi couldn't help but smile and said:

"Let me think about this."

"When you go to sea to salvage sunken ships, you still have to do it on the other side of the Atlantic far away from the motherland. There are too many variables here. Even if you really want to do it, you have to plan carefully. I'll ask my rich friends first to see if they have any interest."

If they are not interested, then this matter can only be declared bankrupt.

Otherwise, let Xu Yi spend millions to dive into the bottom of the sea, what if there is nothing?

Lu Yi laughed repeatedly and said:

"That's okay, that's okay."

"Anyway, you can't use the crew's budget. I have planned every money. There is still a big hole in the post-production special effects production, and I can fill it with any amount of money."

Xu Yi: "Don't worry, chief, one payment for another."

After thinking for a while, Xu Yi asked again:

"Chief, do you know the specific location of the sunken ship?"

Seeing Xu Yi asking this, Lu Yilian knew that Xu Yi was tempted. He took out a chart from his bag and spread it out. A circle was circled in the middle with a marker. "According to what the gangster said, the shipwreck is not far from this island and should be right here. However, there is no more information. You probably need to explore it yourself."

"Okay, I see."

Xu Yi took the chart unceremoniously, "Chief, just give me this chart!"

Lu Yilian did not refuse.

This chart was originally brought to Xu Yi to see. If he goes to sea, he can naturally use it. If he doesn't go to sea, it will be a piece of waste paper in anyone's hands.

After getting the chart, Xu Yi looked at it carefully.

The position mark in the picture is about 800 nautical miles away from the port of Casablanca.

Not too far.

However, shipwreck salvage is a job with a high technical threshold, and ordinary people cannot do it. The cost of renting a boat is easy to say, but where can I find a salvage team? Xu Yi didn't have such connections. After thinking about it, he found that among the people he knew, Zhong Guoliang was the one with the brightest path.

Therefore, Xu Yi still called Zhong Guoliang in China.

"Hey, Uncle Zhong."
-

"It's rare that you called me a second time! The first time you asked for money, what do you want this time?"

"Forehead……"
-

"Just say it straight, I don't like beating around the bush."

"Okay, here's the thing..."

Xu Yi briefly talked about the shipwreck incident he encountered while out filming. Of course, as for Jiang Xia's name, he definitely did not reveal it. He only said that an actor was held hostage by local gangsters, and it was just a combination of circumstances.

In the end, just listen to Xu Yi say:

"Uncle Zhong, do you think there's something going on in this matter?"
-

"Shipwreck under the sea?"
-

"Xiao Xu, is this reliable? If it is really a sunken ship from a certain era, the value may be immeasurable. Oh, I'm not talking about gold and silver treasures, I'm talking about some ancient objects. I just don't know if there are any that sank to the bottom of the sea. How long has it been and has it turned into rust?"

Xu Yi couldn't answer any of the questions Zhong Guoliang asked.

Xu Yi replied awkwardly:

"Uncle Zhong, I don't know what you're asking about."

"But I think the shipwreck should be true. To be on the safe side, I will verify it again. What I want to ask Uncle Zhong is, if the shipwreck is confirmed to be true, is Uncle Zhong interested in doing something about it?"
-

"It's not impossible. Anyway, it's still idle."

Good guy!

Xu Yi wanted to do something, mainly for money.

And Zhong Guoliang wanted to do it because he was idle?

There really is no comparison between people!

That afternoon, Xu Yi had no role to play. He found the agency and then found the black scarf brother to have a chat alone. He also activated his ability to 'detect lies and read minds' to make sure that the other party was not lying.

From this point of view, the shipwreck is probably true.

It's just that the black scarf brother also knows very little about the situation on the seabed. They don't have professional equipment to dive into the seabed. Therefore, the matter of salvaging the sunken ship has been put on hold until now. If he had not suffered a big loss this time and was caught by the police, the black scarf brother might not have been willing to disclose this matter.

After the two of them finished chatting, Xu Yi had an idea.

Zhong Guoliang immediately said that a salvage team would be dispatched from France. He happened to have a friend who was doing business in France and was very interested in this matter, so he would lead the team himself. The specific work allocation and result allocation will be discussed in person.

Xu Yi didn't wait long.

Day three.

A middle-aged wealthy businessman named Guo Kun arrived in Casablanca and found Xu Yi.

"Brother Xu, I have admired you for a long time!"

"I didn't expect Brother Xu to be so young and promising!"

Although Guo Kun is nearly middle-aged, he rarely has a potbelly, and his whole person exudes a sense of refinement. This can also be seen in his clothes. The crisp suit, neat tie, and shiny leather shoes all show that the rich man in front of him is fighting against the years with his own practical actions.

Xu Yi smiled and said hello.

"Brother Xu, Lao Zhong has talked with me about the matter you mentioned." It can be seen that Guo Kun attaches great importance to Xu Yi. This probably has something to do with Zhong Guoliang's explanation. Otherwise, with Guo Kun's net worth, he would not be able to care about Xu Yi in this country. Little stars are looked down upon. "I want to hear what you think?"

In fact, Xu Yi has been thinking about this matter in the past few days. In this cooperation, we went to sea to salvage the sunken ship. We only contributed ourselves, neither the money nor the salvage team. At most, it was just a piece of information about the appropriate amount of shares. After much deliberation, 10% felt it was too little, and 50% felt unkind.

Therefore, he had no choice but to smile and say:

"I listen to Uncle Zhong."

With Zhong Guoliang's behavior, it is unlikely that he would set a trap for Xu Yi in this kind of matter.

Hearing this, Guo Kun laughed and said:

"Okay! Lao Zhong was right. Brother Xu's words and actions are indeed airtight."

"In that case..."

"Let me make a suggestion. You can go to sea with us, or you can wait for us at the port. We will divide the proceeds from the salvage of the sunken ship three to seven. You three, and us seven. What do you think, Brother Xu?"

Very reasonable.

This number is almost exactly the same as the number Xu Yi had imagined.

He nodded and said, "I have no problem."

Seeing Xu Yi so cheerful, Guo Kun no longer hesitated and said immediately:

"readily!"

"In that case, let's not delay, let's just set off today?"

"Brother Xu, if you are busy filming, just wait for me here; if you want to go out and have fun, you can also go with our boat."

Xu Yi: "I want to watch the excitement."

This kind of scene is rare.

How could Xu Yi miss it?

A person may not be able to salvage a sunken ship once in his lifetime. And this shipwreck is most likely from the last century, because there has been no news of shipwrecks in this area in the past few decades, so it is very likely that this is not only a shipwreck salvage, but also an archaeological excavation!

Seeing that Xu Yi wanted to go with him, Guo Kun was also very happy:

"Okay, shall we set off this afternoon?"

"Tomorrow!" Xu Yi thought for a while and mentioned a date, "I'm going to ask for leave from the crew. It will probably take two or three days at the earliest to come back after this trip."

Guo Kun nodded: "Okay, I will contact you tomorrow."

After saying that, Guo Kun turned around and left directly.

He works quickly and doesn't ask or inquire about anything that has nothing to do with this mission.

The first reason why he agreed to Xu Yi to set off with the ship was that Xu Yi was also a partner in this operation, and the information and charts came from Xu Yi, so he had no reason to refuse Xu Yi. Of course, there is a more important reason.

Guo Kun vaguely knew from Zhong Guoliang that Xu Yi was a capable person.

What is a capable person?

In Zhong Guoliang's case, being called a capable person does not mean that you can sing a song or act in a play. That's called an artist at most. Being able to attract the attention of Zhong Guoliang shows that Xu Yi has two skills in certain fields.

Maybe I can be of some help during this trip to sea.

After Guo Kun left, Xu Yi found Lu Yilian and said that he would be away for two or three days.

Lu Yilian seemed to have guessed this and asked with a smile:

"Brother Xu, have you decided to go?"

"Huh?" Xu Yi laughed. There were some things he could do, but he couldn't admit it. "Yes, it's decided. It's quite hard to film for a few days, so it makes sense to go to sea and relax!"

Lu Yilian had no objection and agreed: "Okay, then you should be careful."

After asking for leave from Lu Yilian, Xu Yi found Lin Chaoxian again.

He had to ask the director not to rehearse his scenes these days and just shoot other people's scenes first. Xu Yi also had another highlight, which was to kill the opponent's one-eared sniper in the battle on the city rooftop. This scene was crucial to the final victory of the entire Jiaolong Commando Team.

"You want to ask for leave?"

Lin Chaoxian was a little stunned. You are an investor. If you ask for leave, just ask yourself. You don't have to ask me.

Xu Yi nodded and said rather embarrassedly:

"Yes, Director Lin."

"I just have some personal matters to deal with at the moment, so it shouldn't take too long. I expect to be back in two or three days."

"I have no problem here." Lin Chaoxian agreed directly without thinking: "You go and deal with your own affairs first, and when you get here, you can finish the rest of the scenes. I will shoot the street fights in the next few days. The scene, this scene is quite brutal, there will probably be a lot of NG.”

Xu Yi knew which scene he was talking about.

Is that more than tragic?

Everyone in the Jiaolong Commando was injured and two members were sacrificed. The level of bloodshed broke the record in domestic film history.

He believed in Lin Chaoxian, so naturally he wouldn't worry about it.

Turning away from the director, Li Xun quickly followed Xu Yi.

"Lao Xu, do you want to ask for leave?"

"You are a dog, and your nose is so sharp?" Xu Yi said with a smile.

I saw Li Xun defending:

"What's wrong? When you were talking to Director Lin, I was standing next to you. You didn't see me at all, right? No, right?"

Xu Yi stopped and said:

"I saw it."

"I thought you were following the director to secretly learn how to direct your own movie in the future!"

"That's why I didn't call you."

Li Xun: Do you think I believe it?

Such lame words actually come from your mouth, Lao Xu. There is no intention at all!

Li Xun dropped the topic and asked directly:

"Lao Xu, where are you going to go on vacation? Take me with you!"

"My role is tied to yours. If you don't film it, I will have nothing to film."

This statement is true.

Li Xun plays the observer Li Dong, and the observer must be following the sniper.

However, Xu Yi was really not suitable to take Li Xun with him on this trip.

He thought for a while and found an excuse:

"It's not easy to carry."

"I am also attending a friend's party this time. He doesn't like strangers very much, so... I'm sorry, Lao Li. I will definitely take you when the next opportunity is right."

Hearing this, regardless of whether it was an excuse or not, Li Xun also knew that he was advancing or retreating. He immediately laughed and said: "It's okay, it's okay. But... what party needs to go to for several days?"

Xu Yi snorted and explained:

"You know the party he held at sea..."

hiss!

What a great time to play!

I know what I'm doing, I've only heard of this kind of party, and I've never been to one, okay?

When a cruise ship goes out on the high seas, there is nothing you can do.

Tut tut...

I didn’t expect that you, Mr. Xu, would be such a person. Next time, next time, my brother will definitely go there, even if he is just a pendant of you, Mr. Xu! (End of chapter)
