Chapter 418: Unexpected Clues
"It was worth all the time I spent making breakfast. I was starving."
In a pavilion in the park, Ma Dong wolfed down the food that Wang Yi had packed for him, and was in a speechless state.
That person is really a piece of sticky candy, so thick-skinned that it's scary.
"Just refuse directly. How can he drag you along?"
“He really just kept following me.”
Ma Dong also had a look of despair on his face.
In fact, many celebrities bring bodyguards with them when they go out for this reason. They usually go in and out quickly and don't let others follow them.
Ma Dong is now the hottest TT influencer and his acting career has also become a top-tier one.
This time, because he came out with Wang Yi, he turned around and played the role of a bodyguard.
"This reminds me of when I was in a relationship and my husband and I went to Disneyland to find a scalper. The scalper let us cut in line first, and then he stayed to argue."
Ma Dong said as he ate and laughed.
However, he was tall and strong, and although his eating speed was not as fast as Wang Yi's, it was still far beyond that of ordinary people. He finished most of the food in just three or two bites.
Moreover, he really climbed up from the bottom, and he didn't have the pretentiousness of those young fresh meats. He just wiped it with a tissue and nothing happened. Then he picked up the garbage and threw it into the trash can next to him, complaining at the same time.
"That guy specializes in making art films and documentaries, and he's eyeing the overseas market. He can be considered the type who talks behind the backs of companies around the world."
At this point, Ma Dong continued
"The film he shot, Struggle, tells the story of a pair of brothers from the mountains trying to survive in a big city. It always feels weird. If you say he is wrong, he can be considered to have selected examples, but if you say he is right, I can't say. Foreign countries like this kind of tone, so he won the award."
"Are you here to participate in the Hengwan Award as well?"
Wang Yi raised his eyebrows. Qin Xiang, or rather Qin Xiang's father, was very sensible after being criticized, otherwise he would not have been in such a strange relationship with him.
"It's not this film, but another documentary he shot about the African rainforest that was nominated for the documentary category. This guy is pretty hard on himself. He and his expedition team went into the African rainforest and tinkered with it for several months before coming up with this documentary, so he was nominated."
"That's right. Being able to go there in person at least shows that my dedication to my work is worth affirming."
Wang Yi was a little surprised. Tropical rainforest sounds like just four words, but the situation inside is actually completely different from those developed tourist attractions. It can really be considered "life-threatening."
No matter what kind of person he is, he is definitely dedicated to his work.
Also, there was a small incident and unpleasantness that happened to Wang Yi at Luo Rong's hotel today.
Qin Xiang contacted him shortly afterwards and told him that he didn't need to go around scouting for places by himself, as he would take him to eat delicious food.
Of course Wang Yi readily agreed to this, but he just teased him, saying that it was not another store that used strange seasonings.
When Wang Yi met Qin Xiang for the first time, it was at a private restaurant that served extra ingredients.
But fortunately, Qin Xiang must have learned from his mistakes and chose a pretty good place.
Because they knew from Luo Rong that Wang Yi brought a female companion, so they went to some serious places. At the same time, Wang Yi also introduced Ma Dong to them.
In response to this, several young masters were quite polite to Ma Dong.
In fact, Ma Dong’s current commercial value is already obvious. TT is the top seller of products, and because of his good quality control, he has gradually begun to sell other products.
They really have areas where they can cooperate with Ma Dong, not to mention that it was Wang Yi who introduced them .
Ma Dong has always been good at dealing with people, so naturally they get along well with each other.
"Oh, Fang Qian, this guy just likes to shoot some, uh, hard to describe things, but he also knows how to measure and won't cross the line, which is pretty amazing. He just likes to walk on the edge. This time his work is at most a runner-up, just a nomination, it's impossible for him to really be awarded. This guy is too good at jumping, like a sticky candy, you should have a deep understanding of this, right?"
When talking about the reason why Ma Dong didn't go at noon today, Qin Xiang also felt a little funny. Obviously, he knew such a director.
This guy is not a famous director and has a sticky personality. It can be said that many people in the circle are not fond of him.
It is because the things he filmed have no commercial value and no conflict of interest, otherwise someone would probably want to deal with him.
"But in the documentary he shot, there was a dozen-meter-long anaconda entering the country. Although it only flashed by, it was still very visually appealing. I think at least this clip in his documentary has the potential to go viral, and it's just waiting for the short video platform to ferment it."
"A dozen-meter-long anaconda?"
Wang Yi raised his eyebrows slightly. If it wasn't an exaggeration, it was indeed very long.
The current Guinea Pig record for the longest snake is a 14.8-meter-long python in Indonesia.
Although anacondas and anacondas are usually very long, it is quite rare to reach more than ten meters.
"Yes, this is still an estimate. In fact, I think 20 meters is possible, and they all look super strong."
Qin Xiang saw that Wang Yi was interested and began to explain in detail.
At the same time, he turned on his bracelet projection and started looking for videos.
He found this thing very interesting, so he kept some of it and planned to post it on his social media platform someday.
Wang Yi also saw the image of the anaconda. At this time, Fang Qian and his expedition team should be on a boat, moving along the Nile River.
The turbid river water seemed to have almost no visibility, and it was impossible to see what was beneath the water.
However, following the camera, you can see that the water surface in front is constantly rolling, creating quite huge turbid water splashes.
At the same time, some audio can be heard, which seems to say 'Is that a crocodile?'
As the camera zoomed in, we suddenly saw a huge snake head emerging from the water. It seemed to look up at the boat , and then quickly turned around and swam away.
The giant outline can be seen in the splashes created by the snake's body.
"Wow, it's at least ten meters long, and it feels a little different from some of the pythons I've seen."
Ma Dong also saw it, and even his body shrank.
"That look is so cold and creepy."
Qian Yayan hugged Wang Yi tightly.
Liu Xiaoke, on the other hand, looked at it as if nothing had happened, and asked curiously:
"I've seen documentaries about anacondas, and I always feel that this thing is a little different from anacondas, but I can't put my finger on it."
Liu Xiaoke has always liked some weird and thriller things, and the supernatural theory group would not let them go, so of course he is not opposed to this kind of thing.
"Yes, it is different. Although ordinary anacondas are very long, their body length is actually very large and they are not very thick. An anaconda over ten meters long weighs no more than two hundred kilograms, which is about the same as a male lion."
After Wang Yi said this, everyone immediately felt the difference.
That snake was so thick!
And in comparison, the force is so great that the stirred water flow fluctuates greatly!
"Ah? This... this snake won't be a problem, right?"
Qin Xiang's expression changed again.
He had witnessed the "aliens" with his own eyes before, which was definitely an eye-opener.
What is this again?
"There must be something wrong. It might have something to do with magic."
Wang Yi just replied casually without saying much, but his eyes became much deeper.
Indeed, there is a problem!
I had been asking Lin Shiqin to look for some relevant clues, wanting to see if the three previous contacts with the abyss would leave any traces, such as the flowers obtained by the Sackler family.
I didn't expect to see something that might be related in a documentary that is preparing to enter an award.
This anaconda must have come into contact with something, either a natural magical depression in the forest, or the remnants of a certain contact with the abyss.
The Sackler family’s things were indeed found in the African rainforest, so there may be a connection.
Their original destination was Somalia, but they didn’t expect it to be so far away from the actual location.
Afterwards, Wang Yi discovered that their expedition team was tracking the python's movements and the subsequent exploration.
I have to say, this is also because they are brave.
Two adults can subdue an ordinary anaconda, even if it is over eight meters long. With professionals following the team, so many people are indeed not afraid.
The lethality of a snake that is big enough to appear in a horror movie is far lower than many people imagine, and it is not uncommon for a leopard to kill an anaconda.
Because for snakes, the larger the body size, the more calories they need, and their reactions will often be slower.
But the python that showed obvious signs of magical influence was not among them.
They are probably full, otherwise they would probably have lost a lot of people.
The effect of firearms in water is limited, and you won't be able to react in time if something happens to you suddenly...
