July.

At the exit of Hongqiao Airport, a bunch of fans circled as usual.

It seems that "Rescue Against Time" came to Shanghai to promote, and the main creators, including Da Mi Mi and Huo Jianhua, will appear, and fans are very excited...

"It's coming. It's coming!"

A few sharp-eyed people immediately found Da Mi Mi, who was surrounded by layers of bodyguards...

"Ahh

"Seek, seek, never leave!"

"Da Mi Mi, you are so beautiful!"

After tossing for almost half an hour, the scene gradually became empty, and then, a slender man with sunglasses, carrying a shoulder bag, walked out...

"Brother Ming!"

Chen Xu's eyes lit up and he hurriedly stepped forward.

That's right, this is Shen Ming, who has disappeared for nearly six months!

"Who was that?"

“… seems to be a fan of Da Mi Mi, her new movie "Rescue Against Time" has been released..."

"Oh. ”

Shen Ming just asked casually, and didn't particularly care...

Introducing Shen Ming's itinerary in the second half of the year:

After the Golden Globe Awards, Shen Ming went directly to Morocco and starred in "Operation Red Sea", and took leave to participate in the Oscars, but of course he did not win the award;

After coming back, I was supposed to be able to take a month off, and then "You in the Stars" was launched...

It's too late to lose weight, so Shen Ming can only shoot on the set, while losing weight...

Twenty days to finish filming "You in the Stars"...

He didn't even know how he survived...

At the end of March, he returned to China to participate in the recording of "Extreme Challenge";

At the beginning of April, "Burst Drummer" was launched...

Brother Ming could only shoot while returning to China to participate in "Extreme Challenge", but fortunately, his brothers knew his situation and rarely took the initiative to cue him, so that he could have enough rest;

After staying up with "Burst Drummer", "District 9" is on...

For more than two months, "District 9" was completed, and Shen Ming returned to China...

Four movies, one reality show, half a year...

Shen Ming didn't know how he came here!

When I woke up every day, I went to the set to participate in the shooting, got off work, went back to sleep, there was no life at all, and the whole person looked very sluggish...

At this point, return to the country.

It's a bit of a world away...

In the car, Chen Xu saw the sullen Shen Ming, and suddenly asked, "Brother Ming, what is your weight now?"

“… Why do you ask this?"

With a yawn, Shen Ming nestled himself in the back seat, not wanting to speak at all.

After half a year, he was too tired...

"District 9", in particular, seems to have exhausted all the energy, leaving only exhaustion and a certain strange sense of depression.

I don't want to talk to people...

"You're so thin, it's affecting your health!"

“… I know my body, you don't care. ”

Through the rearview mirror, Chen Xu looked at Shen Ming with some concern, and a term appeared in his mind: depression!

Hehe, he thinks too much, Shen Ming is simply too tired!

……

The movie "District 9" was filmed very quickly...

Of course, it's not as good as "Burst Drummer" and "The Fault in the Stars", after all, it's a science fiction film!

However, Twentieth Century Fox wants to be released in September, and the director can only race against time...

The story of "District 9" is based on one of his own short films, "Aliens in Johannesburg".

Conceived from his experiences as a young man during apartheid in South Africa, the story of the male protagonist Wikus becoming an alien is a reference to Kafka's Metamorphosis...

In the form of a pseudo-documentary, it tells the story of the protagonist Wycools.

The story goes that almost 30 years ago, a group of alien refugees came to Earth because of the war on their planet, and the world's important heads of state decided to establish a temporary shelter for these alien refugees in the ninth district of South Africa, focusing on these "aliens" in the eyes of humans.

The task of controlling and managing the aliens is contracted by a private company known as the "Transnational Joint Organization" (MNU), and the protagonist of the story, Wycools, is a civilian employee of the MNU.

These alien refugees resemble crayfish, so they are called prawns, they riot in the 9th arrondissement, and the MNU decides to relocate, driving them to the outskirts far from the city center...

Wycool is the designated person in charge of MNU!

Then, Wycool is infected with a mysterious virus, and his body undergoes amazing changes with the reorganization of his DNA - he turns into an alien refugee prawn!

Along with his mutations, Wycool has been subjected to endless ostracism and unfriendly treatment from his kind, and there seems to be only one place in the world that can provide him with a place to live, and that is District 9!

This movie is very unique, subverting the long-standing mindset that aliens must be hanging and beating earthlings.

The aliens in the film give people the immediate sense that they are uncivilized refugees in Africa, and finally the climax is that the protagonist is on the side of the aliens as an earthling...

Shen Ming had no idea about apartheid.

But the character of Wycool is very emotional!

At first, he was indifferent to alien refugees, and later, he mutated, and he only used prawns as a tool for detoxification, and he was abandoned by humans, but he still thinks he is human!

Later, humanity awakened, and he began to help prawns fight against humans...

For two months, Shen Ming was immersed in the role.

Director Neil Blomkamp is also a beast, and he is very happy to see that Shen Ming is becoming less and less like a normal person...

This kind of behavior is actually very inhumane, which is equivalent to the crew's bullying of the actors!

But Shen Ming doesn't care, after looking at the effect, it's all worth it.

……

"Sister Xin said, tomorrow will start arranging..."

"I'm going to take a week off, don't bother me!"

Without waiting for Chen Xu to say anything, Shen Ming directly refused...

He's going to hang out, beat a dozen girls at once, and indulge it!

No, he seems to have a girlfriend...

"Where is Cheng Xiao?"

“… Cheng Xiao is on the side of Yandang Mountain. ”

"Oh, still filming "Langya Bang"?"

"That's right," Chen Xu wriggled and glanced at Shen Ming: "Actually, you can go to visit the class!"

"Yandang Mountain... Where is Yandang Mountain?"

Chen Xu saw that Shen Ming was interested, and hurriedly replied: "It's in Zhejiang, Wenzhou!"

"Where did the tannery go out of business?"

“… That's right!"

"Okay, I'll definitely go over and have a look when I have time. ”

After lying on the corpse for a long time, Shen Ming recovered a lot.

The car drove to a villa area in the western suburbs, and Chen Xu parked: "Brother Ming, let's arrive!"

“… Then I'll go up, you go back first!"

Chen Xu got out of the car, trotted open the back door, and when Shen Ming walked out, he asked in a low voice, "Brother Ming, are you going to pick you up tomorrow?"

“… Don't use it for now, you tell Sister Xin, don't arrange a job for me this week!"

"However, "The Legend of Wukong" is about to be released..."

"When will it be released?"

"Number 13!"

“… No hurry, I'll definitely go for the premiere!"

"The Legend of Wukong" has little to do with him, but as the second male lead, some important publicity, such as premieres, still has to appear...
