Melba replied: “Mr. Wade, what you said is very reasonable, but to be honest, the situation in Syria is more dangerous. Even many professional documentary teams are unwilling to come to this place and go deep into the front line of the war and shoot videos.”
“Moreover, we have also seen some European and American documentary team’s methods of doing things. They generally try to stay away from the front line as much as possible, and their shooting angles are also very narrow. They are even influenced by the mainstream Western media. Praise the war and beautify the war.”
“It is impossible for people outside to realize how cruel wars are, so it is impossible for people in peaceful times to realize the meaning of anti-war ideas.”
Charlie said immediately: “Ms. Watt, can you see it like this? I can sponsor your team for 20 million dollars so that you can make this documentary better. But I only have one request, which is, you can’t stay in Syria anymore. The money goes to your team, but you must come to Aurous Hill to help me set up the ocean shipping business. What do you think?”
As soon as Charlie finished speaking, Pollard, who was on the side, immediately gave him a thumbs up and praised: “A good way to move the tiger away from the mountain!”
Charlie smiled and said, “This is not about adjusting the tiger away from the mountain, this is adjusting the lamb away from the wolf pack…”
At this time, Melba replied: “Let me leave the team? How can I do it! My team and I have promised to each other that neither of us will back down without authorization.”
Charlie smiled and said, “This is not to make you retreat without authorization, I just gave your team a better choice.”
With that, Charlie deliberately changed the subject and asked her: “Miss Watt, I don’t know how you are living in Syria? Are all kinds of supplies available and whether your personal safety is adequately guaranteed?”
Melba replied: “We have relatively difficult conditions here because we are in the war zone and the supply of materials is severely lacking. As for our personal safety, the government has sent a few soldiers to protect us. The overall situation is still relatively good. It is safe.”
Pollard, who was on the side, heard this and he was relieved immediately.
