In the days before returning to Hongqi Forest Farm for classes, Wei Ran once again locked himself in the studio. In addition to spending most of the day picking up English that had been abandoned for a long time, or died in childhood, Wei Ran spent the other half of the day doing everything.
Placed above the design company logo.
After being rejected countless times by the picky teacher Dalia and wasting countless sheets of A4 paper, Wei Ran finally came up with a logo that he thought he was most satisfied with.
The logo is a film reel with no film wrapped around it, but a roll of blood-stained bandages, with a silhouette of a soldier with only one leg in the center.
The soldier was holding a crutch in each hand, but according to Wei Ran's label on the side, the two crutches were a Mauser rifle and a Mosin-Nagant rifle respectively.
But such a disabled soldier and the two rifle canes in his hands happened to form an anti-war symbol with the film reel.
I reported this idea that I had racked my brains to come up with to Teacher Dalia, who finally reluctantly agreed with Weiran's design after some discussions with Nikolai.
Time passed in a blink of an eye. On August 15th, Wei Ran and Jima returned to the Hongqi Forest Farm with their teacher Dalia, who had been staying in Volgograd.
"Teacher Dalia, did you put up the sign so quickly?"
Before Wei Ran and Ji Ma had time to get out of the car, they saw at a glance a large and conspicuous sign on the door of the five-story building in Hongqi Forest Farm. This sign also said in Russian "Time Film Production"
"Factory" is a name that looks quite chronological.
“Let’s go in and have a look”
Dalia pushed open the car door and walked into the lobby on the first floor with Wei Ran and Jima. She casually discovered that there was a huge LOGO illuminated by a row of spotlights hanging on the wall facing the door.
Compared with Weiran's rough idea that was purely hand-drawn and spliced with elements cut from printed pictures, this obviously professionally designed logo naturally looks much more beautiful.
"Now let's take a look at the designed opening animation"
Dalia walked to the bar with Wei Ran and Jima, stopped, picked up the remote control on the table, and turned on the projector hanging from the ceiling.
After waiting for a moment, an animation of only ten seconds or so was projected on the wall on one side of the bar. Against a black background, a film reel rolled with gauze rolled from one side and stopped in the center of the screen.
.
Amidst the clicking sound, a silhouette of a disabled soldier with a rifle and a cane in both hands slowly walked out from the middle of the film reel. At the same time, his image gradually became clearer, revealing the broken parts of his body that could not be seen.
The nationality's military uniform, the helmet with bullet holes, and the eyes wrapped in blood-stained gauze.
The soldier's appearance disappeared in a flash, becoming increasingly blurry in the white light behind him, leaving only a silhouette that seemed to be saluting and saying hello.
In a daze, Wei Ran only felt dazzled for a moment. He seemed to see the shadows of many familiar friends in the wounded man. Among those shadows were the young snipers Oleg and Lieutenant Lev who had accompanied him on the battlefield of Stalingrad.
The Aleutian company commanders in position No. 19 on the Don River include those friends from Finland, squad leader Li Hexian who clings to Teng County, and so on.
When the short scene jumped to the line "Time Film Studio" in Russian, Teacher Dalia pressed the remote control and asked, "How do you feel?"
"Better than I expected," Wei Ran replied without thinking.
Teacher Dalia nodded noncommittally, dropped the remote control, and led the two of them directly into a conference room on the first floor.
"Little guy, we meet again."
In the smoke-filled conference room, Gorman, who had had a master-disciple relationship in Kirov, raised his hand with a smile and said hello to Wei Ran, and next to him, sitting there, who had disappeared for a long time, was
Mr. Culp.
"Gorman, why are you here?" Wei Ran subconsciously took a small step back. He promised that it was really just a small step.
"It seems you don't welcome me very much?"
Gorman stretched out his somewhat wrinkled suit, "But I am now the director of Time Film Studio, so of course I have to be here."
"Are you the factory director?"
Wei Ran glanced at the smiling Dalia, then turned his attention to Gorman again, "Where is your mental hospital?"
"Of course I'll leave it to someone else," Gorman replied as he put out his cigarette.
"Okay, we have plenty of time to talk first." Dalia opened the window as she spoke, "Now it's time to talk about business. Gorman, you are responsible for this young man's acting classes for the next half month. Jima, you
Go to class with Gorman."
"no problem"
Gorman stood up happily, patted Wei Ran on the shoulder, hugged a laptop computer that was playing a TV series, and waved to Jima, who looked confused, and walked out of the conference room where cigarette butts and cans were littered on the floor.
.
"I hope you have fun studying..."
Wei Ran looked pityingly at Ji Ma, who had a look of expectation on his face, then shook his head to dispel the random thoughts in his heart, and sat down opposite Teacher Dalia, waiting for the other party to speak.
"In the future, the film company's affairs have nothing to do with you."
Teacher Dalia said straight to the point, while Mr. Culp on the other side had already taken out a bag of documents from his bag, opened it, placed the A4 papers inside one by one on the table between the three of them, and signaled
Wei Ran moves closer.
"Now let's talk about the postponed assessment." Culp said with a smile.
"The postponed assessment? What assessment?" Wei Ran looked at the other party in confusion, "Didn't I successfully kill the smuggler?"
"That was after you agreed to postpone the assessment."
Culp spread his hands like a rogue, "So no matter what you did at that time, the assessment has been postponed, right?"
"I can't find anything wrong with it," Wei Ran muttered with an ugly face.
"Since you can't find any problems, let's come over and take a look."
Teacher Dalia pointed to the photo on the first piece of paper and said, "The target of this assessment is a woman, who is also the main beneficiary behind the smuggling organization. She has lived in Daisen City, Akita Prefecture, Japan for a long time.
What you want to do in this assessment is not to kill people, but to find evidence of her criminal activities of smuggling and human trafficking. Of course, it doesn't matter even if you kill this woman.
In addition, the time limit for this assessment is before Christmas, so you have enough time to plan."
Culp took over the topic and reminded, "Accordingly, if you make any stupid mistakes again, you will stay there forever and never come back."
"I...I know." Wei Ran grinned awkwardly and reluctantly accepted the postponement of the assessment, which seemed like a shame.
