Chapter 45: Opportunity flashes

"Everyone in front of the TV, good afternoon. I am standing at the intersection of the City of God. Through the lens, we can see that the armed forces are still on full alert..." Following the host's introduction, the camera turned to Directly ahead, I saw a fortress piled up with a pile of broken oil drums, and a dozen people stood indistinctly behind them. They all held heavy machine guns in their hands and aimed at the direction of the entrance, but those people did not support the fortress. The machine guns, on the other hand, jumped up and down in the back, seemed very excited, and even waved to the camera, "They are demonstrating to us at this time, I believe that if we go one step further, they will shoot immediately..." The host said There was no pause in the introduction, and the introduction continued.

The host of Rio de Janeiro TV station came to the scene and was reporting live. More than six million people were watching in front of the TV.

At this moment, a young man with a crew cut quickly walked past the host. He suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed a gold necklace around the host's neck, and pulled it hard. The host was taken aback, the live broadcast was interrupted immediately, he clutched his chest and began to struggle, the cameraman carrying the camera recorded all this with the lens, obviously frightened by such a bold act, the camera lens began to force Shaking, a noise came from the side, "Help her, quick, help her..."

The young man forcibly pulled the gold necklace off, and then ran away quickly. The camera lens was turned upside down, making it impossible to see clearly, only a mess of shouts and gasps could be heard.

People who were watching TV in front of the TV all exclaimed. Although everyone knew that the local law and order in Rio de Janeiro was very bad, with robbers, thieves, and drug dealers running rampant, the robbery that was actually staged during the live TV broadcast was still far away. Far beyond imagination, people were stunned.

Xavier-Ulliel stood in front of the TV, looked up at the ironic scene, shook his head slightly, but didn't know what words should be used to describe the situation, "Welcome to Rio." A voice came from beside him, causing Javier to turn his head reflexively, and then he saw the middle-aged man standing in front of him, and he offered his right hand, "Martin Artur, I just heard Say, are you looking for me?"

Javier quickly shook hands with the other party, "Hi, I'm Javier Ulliel, a reporter for the New York Times in Rio de Janeiro."

Martin looked Javier up and down suspiciously. It wasn't that he didn't believe what Javier said, but that Javier didn't look like a reporter at all. He wore a light blue vest with a pair of beach pants with a white pattern. He was also wearing a pair of black flip-flops on the beach. He looked like a tourist on vacation. How could he be a reporter?

Javier was also very helpless.

Although he is an expatriate reporter for the New York Times, he is only famous in name, and in fact he is more like exiled to Brazil. For the United States, South America is more like their back garden. There are countless news happening here every day, but the news that can make it to the important pages of the mainstream media in the United States is rare.

Javier stayed in Rio de Janeiro for three years, and almost every day he would send news back to New York, but only a handful of them were adopted. He was almost forgotten in this land, from his previous ambitions to the present All the ambitions and attempts have gradually been smoothed out.

Today, Javier was indeed basking in the sun on the beach. If he hadn't accidentally seen the live news while he was going to buy cigarettes, he wouldn't have appeared in the office of Globo. Javier almost ran all the way just now, because his sense of news told him: This is his opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! He had to hold on, hold on tight.

However, Javier naturally couldn't tell Martin these words.

Javier took out a card from the side pocket of the beach pants and handed it to Martin, "This is my business card." It is also a magic weapon for him to pick up girls, so he must carry it with him.

Martin took it over, looked at it carefully, and after confirming the basic information, he looked away, "So, what does the reporter from the New York Times want from me?"

Javier pointed to the TV behind him. The live broadcast had returned to normal, and the gold necklace on the host's neck was gone. It is not known whether the robber was arrested

"I want to cover the day and get the news back to New York."

In fact, what Javier did not say was that his ultimate goal was to interview the crew of "City of God", but he did not know the contact information of the crew, nor did he know where the crew was staying, so Javier came here first to look for Martin—this It is the most detailed and authoritative news report of the day. If a breakthrough can be made with Martin, Javier doesn't mind cooperating with Martin and reporting jointly, after all, Martin is a local snake; City" contact, after all, they are Americans.

"Interview me?" Martin looked at Javier quite unexpectedly. He is a reporter. Generally speaking, he is the one who is in charge of the interview, not the person being interviewed.

Javier nodded of course, "To the people of Rio, you are a reporter; but to the people of New York, you are the first-line witness." A simple sentence made Martin's eyes shine. Sure enough, being a member of The New York Times is definitely not easy.

"So, in the news report, you will mention the name of our newspaper?" Martin turned his head and brought up a very interesting point of view.

Javier understood it all at once, and turned his mind twice, "Of course, it will definitely be mentioned." Then Javier paused deliberately, "If you want, we can conduct joint reports. I am in charge of the American , you are in charge of the Brazilians."

It's a win-win! Martin can get first-hand information about the Brazilian government/government and police/police, while Javier can have close contact with the American embassy and the "City of God" crew, exchange information between the two sides, and then let the newspaper he works for Get the upper hand on your local news competition.

Martin showed a smile, and after just a few words, he looked at Javier with admiration, opened the drawer at hand, and took out his camera, "I'm going to take a look at the City of God, how about you? Yours What about the equipment?"

Javier pointed to the outside, "It's in the newsstand at the intersection." Although he is almost on vacation now, he still carries his equipment with him every day, just for today's moment, "So, you mean, the U.S. Is the crew restarting work today?"

It's only been a day since that incident, isn't the crew worried that the gangsters in the slums will attack again? This courage made Javier look sideways. Before he had time to meet the crew, he was already amazed.

Martin nodded, "The news I received is that they arrived at the shooting location at eleven o'clock this morning and started to prepare for the shooting—if I didn't misunderstand the purpose of those photographic equipment."

"Then what are we waiting for, let's start now, and then I can finish the interview with you on the way and post back the first-hand information." Javier walked away while talking, and the two strangers who had just met People become partners in the blink of an eye.

The car parked beside the main street, and the two walked side by side towards the front. The street appeared to be very quiet, and occasionally a few residents of the slums walked forward with their heads down. The usual noise of children playing football had disappeared at this time, and one could feel the impact of the incident the day before yesterday on this place. Although the law and order in the slums is very bad, the terrorist forces are only a small part after all, and most of the people living here are ordinary residents.

From a distance, one could see a group of people near the football field. Compared with the quiet surroundings, it seemed that half of the slums had gathered there. Javier and Martin didn't continue chatting anymore, and took a quick step.

The distance was getting closer, and Javier finally saw the scene in front of him clearly. Those who gathered around were not residents, but uniformed police officers. There were at least two teams with more than 20 people. They were fully armed and surrounded the two buses vigilantly, patrolling back and forth from time to time. The highly tense atmosphere echoed the City of God a few streets away. It could be felt that the entire area was in Highly tense state~www.wuxiax.com~ No wonder the whole street looks a little deserted, abnormally deserted.

"You can only see them like this during the World Cup." Martin's voice sounded from the side, but Javier didn't laugh, but whispered, "You think it's because the government gave this incident enough It is important to send people to protect the safety of the crew; or is the producer of this crew able to communicate with ghosts and gods, and persuade the police/police station to cooperate with the filming?"

Martin was stunned by Javier's observation angle, the two exchanged a glance, and then walked up quickly.

Before they got close, someone greeted them first, "A movie is being filmed here, what can I do for you?"

"I'm a reporter from El Globo." Seeing that the other party was speaking in Portuguese, Martin went up to meet him first, and showed his press card, but the man shook his head, "Now the crew is not accepting interviews."

When Javier saw this, he quickly greeted him, "I am a reporter from the New York Times, from the United States, may I interview the producer?" These words made the other party pause, "I promise, we will not disturb The filming of the crew."

The other party hesitated for a moment, "You guys wait here, I'll go over and ask." The young man turned his head and ran over, walked up to a tall and thin baby-faced, muttered a few times, and then, the young man and the baby-faced They walked over together. Javier took the initiative to greet him, "Hi, I'm a reporter from the New York Times, Javier Ulliel."

A polite smile appeared on the baby face, "Hi, I'm Albert Allen, the drama manager of 'City of God'~www.wuxiax.com~ All the serialized works are available at ~www.wuxiax.com~ For mobile phone users, please go to read.
