For Chinese people, washing machines have become a must-have at home many years ago, from double cylinders to fully automatic, and now even sell 100,000 drums.

Unless it is intimate clothing or a more expensive mink coat, normally speaking, hand washing clothes has been separated from most people's lives.

But when he arrived in the capital of the world's second-most populous country, Su Yan was still shocked.

Mumbai, India's largest commercial city, is rich and wealthy, but there is a serious gap between the rich and the poor, with the largest slum in Asia and the world's largest open-air laundry, because it can accommodate thousands of people at the same time, it has been called a thousand-person laundry for generations.

Standing on the bridge at the entrance of the train, you can look down on the entire laundry, with more than 800 laundry pools, criss-crossing clotheslines, and colorful clothing sheets, forming another scenery in Mumbai.

Pergolas, simple houses, and knee-high laundry pools made of cement make it impossible to imagine that it is in the capital of a country without looking at it in person.

On either side of the laundry sink is the laundry worker's home, and they start work at 4 a.m. every morning because the government delivers water. Laundry workers wash with faucets or large vats and buckets every morning, brush their teeth with branches, dry clothes in large bags, and see their families, children running around, and a new day begins, which is the most real life of laundry workers in the slums.

India's population is large, the labor cost is too cheap, whether poor or rich, they don't wash their own clothes, almost all send their clothes here to wash, they even feel that washing with a washing machine is a wasteful thing, manual hand washing saves electricity and water, so this traditional way of washing has been preserved in modern society.

The program team wants to come to film, and the local department does not charge any fees, because this is a tourist destination, but in order to avoid trouble, through some channels, the largest local power was found, and paid 100,000 rupees, which is less than 10,000 yuan.

Originally, the writer and Su Yan said that they would give money, but he thought that he would bleed heavily, but he didn't expect that just 10,000 yuan would be enough.

But after learning about the local income, it dawned on me.

The average monthly salary of ordinary people is about 3,000 to 4,000 rupees, and the laundry workers who have to shoot in the program team have to start working at 10 o'clock in the morning every day, because at that time the government delivers water, which is considered one of the hardest jobs in the world, and the income is about 15,000 rupees.

Some people will probably say, how can you live if your salary is less than 2,000 yuan?

Actually, it's not.

In India, a kilogram of lamb costs 90 rupees and a curry rice is 50 rupees, which means that if you want to eat here, you may not need to spend 20 yuan a day.

Of course, this is also relative to domestic income.

Under the leadership of the local tour guide and forces, Su Yan spent the whole morning doing familiarization work, surveying and other things, and the writer contacted it very early, including where the members were going to be at that time, and what they would do.

Although it was the end of November, it was still nearly 30 degrees Celsius, and for several hours, he had been drinking water frantically, and he almost suffered from heat stroke.

The show has already started filming, and Chen Jianshu is currently on the plane to Bangkok with eight members and one guest.

This was Su Yan's idea.

Wuxuan has been working for almost five years now, and the shooting is also very hard, so I found a reason.

"The Birth of a Family" didn't just go to Thailand some time ago to enjoy a reward vacation, which made Mr. Huang so jealous that they couldn't do it, and began to scold Chen Jianshu, saying that he was not righteous, and Director Su's show could go on vacation in a month, why didn't he catch it once in a few years.

Taking this opportunity, Su Yan directly asked him to deceive the members, this filming is a vacation, and the reason why he was called Huang Bo is that the several episodes of the show he participated in are all tired individuals, since the difficulties have been shared, now that he is blessed, he can't forget it.

In order to increase credibility, the opening scene was held directly at the airport in Thailand.

According to the writer, the members were very excited, and several of them changed into floral pants and short-sleeved shirts.

Su Yan can imagine that after arriving at the airport, Chen Jianshu immediately announced that the nine people would be divided into four groups, and then when they continued to take the plane, the complaint was estimated to be piercing, which is why he came to Mumbai in advance.

Anyone who is replaced will not be able to stand it, obviously said that he would go on vacation, but he had to work not to mention, it was still harder than before, and he must have a lot of anger when he thought about it.

Sure enough, when Su Yan was resting in the hotel in the afternoon, the writer knocked on the door and reported the situation, it was not Sister Hong, she needed to take a team of people back to shoot.

Xiao Nanyuan and Zhu are two of the unlucky eggs, they are basically on the plane or waiting for the plane today, from the magic capital to Bangkok, and then fly back to Huangshan from Bangkok.

The members fell out, Mr. Huang Lei scolded directly, Director Chen didn't dare to speak, he could only laugh, and Xiao Sa was also quite speechless, and they didn't understand why they went to Bangkok. ”

Su Yan was glad that he was not at the scene, and when Huang Lei arrived, he probably accepted the reality.

"What did Brother Bo say?"

Speaking of Huang Bo, the writer couldn't help laughing.

"Listening to Sister Hong's meaning, Teacher Huang Bo has already looked down on it, he said that every time he comes to Wufu, it is not a good thing, sure enough, fortunately, he didn't have much hope, but they didn't know that Su Dao was coming, and they didn't know what to do. ”

Su Yan nodded: "What time will the members arrive?"

"It's going to be past eight o'clock in the evening. ”

"Okay, tell the others to hurry up and rest, you don't have to go to the airport at night, just go with the three photographers, and start shooting at nine o'clock tomorrow morning." ”

The writer took the order and left.

It's the first time for Su Yan in India, to be honest, the impression is not very good, especially a few years ago, there were some bad news on the Internet, which is why they specially went to find the biggest local force, they asked for 100,000 yuan, and the program team directly doubled it, and the other party was so happy that they sent several bodyguards.

Even so, Su Yan still didn't bring Yun'er, and especially explained that the three female members of the film crew were not allowed to go out at night, and if there was anything to do during the day, they would be handed over to the male staff, safety first.

Another thing is that there are very few air-conditioned places in Mumbai, and I heard that the coverage rate in the country is only 6 percent, and it is impossible to find a bank or some shop to blow the cold wind here.

The hotel is still because it is booked four stars, or there is only a fan.

Su Yan filmed the show for the money that should be spent, such as food, housing and transportation, he would not go to the province for a dime, and the personnel could not even guarantee the quality of rest, so how to talk about efficiency.

If you want the horses to run, you have to let the horses eat well, and the directors of Qinghe have also continued this fine style well.

The boss explained that the people below were naturally obedient, and they all knew about the country before, except for the necessary circumstances, everyone stayed in the hotel.

After dinner and a rest, Su Yan took a few people to the airport, ready to welcome the arrival of the artists.

A group of yellow-skinned staff members were shooting with cameras, which naturally attracted some attention, but for the locals, it was a novelty, and there was no reaction after seeing Huang Lei and Huang Bo and Xiao Sa come out.

I don't know!

"I'll go!"

When Huang Bo walked out of the door and saw Su Yan standing opposite and looking at him with a smile, he couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth.

"What do I say to you, I have an ominous premonition on the plane, and now that Director Su is here, it's absolutely right. He turned his head to the other two, his expression a little agitated.

"That's right. Huang Lei was quite surprised, he didn't know that Su Yan was also here.

Xiao Sa stepped forward: "Director Su, what is the situation this time?"

"Take a vacation!" Su Yan pretended to be stupid.

"You don't come. Huang Bo was the first to disbelieve it: "In Wuxuan, the combination of you, me, and Teacher Huang Lei can take a vacation? ”

It seems that Su Yan's strategy is correct, along the way, the emotions of the three of them have stabilized, and although they are not happy, at least they have not lost their temper.

But the face is not very good, after all, even to catch the plane, must be tired.

"I suggest that you go back to the hotel to rest first, if you know what to do now, I am afraid that you will not be able to sleep at night and affect tomorrow's work. ”

Su Yan's words did not have a comforting effect, but made the three of them squint.

"Director, to be honest, are we the hardest in the four groups?" Xiao Sa pushed a suitcase, they were all the same, they were deceived by the program team, thinking that they were going to travel, and they brought more clothes and the like.

"Really, believe me, don't ask!" Su Yan paused for a moment, and the staff on the side also laughed.

"But you should sympathize with the team going to Africa, it will take more than ten hours on the plane, and when they arrive, you can all return home. ”

When Huang Lei heard this, his face turned cloudy and sunny in an instant, of course, this is also for the effect of the show.

The three of them began to laugh.

"Hahaha, it's also a good loss, so if it is drawn to Africa, my daughter-in-law will think that she is using the excuse of filming the show, and she doesn't know where to go. ”

Xiao Sa put his hand across his chest and posed: "Please call me a hero." ”

"But I still feel that I don't have a bottom in my heart, mainly because I saw Director Su and panicked!" Huang Bo's small eyes rolled.

"Okay, it's all here, maybe this time is different, I'll leave tomorrow's business until tomorrow, now I think it's just to add to the troubles. The two persuaded from the side.

The distance from the airport to the hotel is not far, and the camera has been shooting on the road, but Su Yan knows that if it is not him who comes to Mumbai, there may only be a few shots to pick up the airport.

But the post-editing will definitely treat his return as a gimmick, not only will it be played more, but it may even be used as a trailer.

Since Su Yan starred in "Lin Yuner's Homestay", many fans have known this great director.

Back at the hotel, there was nothing to say, I ordered some supper to eat and chat, and before twelve o'clock, I washed and slept.

(Thank you for the reward of the flying dancer Lao Tie, if you think the book is OK, and the conditions allow, please order it all, thank you!)
