Temple Street during the day is far less lively than at night, located on several streets, selling all kinds of men's clothing and snack bars with Xiangjiang characteristics, taking Zhou Yanfa's car to one of the gambling streets, found the mahjong parlor.

Zhou Yanfa with big sunglasses and Wang Zheng pushed the door in, although the air conditioning was turned on, but it was still full of pungent tobacco smell, the two covered their noses in mahjong, pai gow, solitaire on the table of each gambling circle, did not find Wu Mengda's figure, asked the boss to know, Wu Mengda has not appeared in the mahjong hall for several days.

The two then drove to Wu Mengda's rental house in Kowloon City, knocked on the door for a few minutes, but no one answered inside, and then saw Wu Mengda sitting in the corner of the room when the landlord opened the door.

In the small rental house, there are littered cigarette butts and wine bottles everywhere, Wu Mengda's face is scumber, his red eyes are bloodshot, and when he saw the two of them coming in, he just tilted his head, and the whole person lost his spirit and was full of decadence.

Zhou Yunfa was startled when he saw Wu Mengda's state, and hurriedly stepped forward to pull up Wu Mengda, who was a little delirious, and said loudly: "Ada, what's wrong with you, why did you make yourself look like this?"

Wu Mengda, who slowly regained his senses, saw Zhou Yanfa in front of him, grabbed his arm, and his voice was a little choked and hoarse: "Ah Fa, I was wrong, I was all wrong, I know about gambling and deducting women every day, and now I owe 300,000 loan sharks, I have no money to pay back, I'm finished." ”

After speaking, he was already silently choked up, full of helplessness.

Zhou Runfa did not comfort Wu Mengda, but grabbed his collar, dragged him directly into the bathroom next to him, put his head against the mirror, pointed to the mirror, Zhou Runfa yelled loudly: "Look at your current ghost, what do you look like, I have been advising you not to mess around with those friends who drink and meat all day long, you just don't listen, soak in the mahjong parlor every day, and now I know what is the use of regretting." ”

Wu Mengda looked at his face in the mirror and choked loudly: "Ah Fa, I was wrong, I know I was wrong now, I wanted to die, but I couldn't do it." ”

Wang Zheng, who was standing on the side, persuaded: "Brother Fa, if you have something to say, even though Brother Da already knows that he is wrong, don't blame him anymore, let's help Brother Da pay back the 300,000 yuan owed to the loan shark first, I still have some savings, I can lend it to Brother Da first." ”

When Zhou Yan heard this, he pulled Wu Mengda, who was choking silently, out of the bathroom, and said to Wang Zheng: "Ah Zheng, you are right, but I can't let you pay for it, I will pay it back for Ada first." ”

After speaking, he turned his head to Wu Mengda: "Ada, you asked me to borrow money earlier, and I knew why I didn't lend it to you, but let you think clearly before looking for me." ”

Wu Mengda, who recovered a little emotionally, his voice was a little hoarse and full of regret: "I didn't understand it at the time, I thought about it for a few days before I realized, do you want me to think things through myself first, whether to borrow money to pay off debts, or borrow money to turn over the book." ”

Zhou Yunfa patted Wu Mengda's shoulder, a little relieved: "It's not too late for you to comprehend now, don't worry about money, I'll help you out first." This is director Wang Zheng, he is here to invite you to make a movie, from now on cheer up, to quit gambling. ”

Wu Mengda nodded very gratefully, turned his gaze to Wang Zheng, and held Wang Zheng's hand vigorously: "Director Wang, thank you for inviting me to film, I will work hard to shoot well, and I will not live up to the trust of you and Ah Fa." ”

Wang Zheng nodded: "Brother Da, as long as you pick yourself up again, there is no difficulty in the role you play, and there is no pressure." ”

In order to cheer him up as soon as possible, Wang Zheng continued: "In this play, you and Fa Ge will have a few rival scenes, you have to grasp it well and cheer up as soon as possible." ”

When Wu Mengda heard this, a happy color appeared on his face: "Really, that's really good, I've always wanted to act with Ah Fa, but I didn't expect to finally have such an opportunity, don't worry, director, I will be able to recover soon." ”

The atmosphere eased down for a while, and Wu Mengda's pale face also turned bloody.

Zhou Yanfa also breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately Wang Zheng was going to come to Wu Mengda today, otherwise, with Wu Mengda's previous state, if he couldn't think of committing suicide, he would probably blame himself for the rest of his life.

In the next few days, Wang Zheng began to build the crew, with the strong support of Shao Tycoon, the construction of the crew was completed quickly, all of them were ghost blowing lanterns, adding some more capable field affairs and two assistant directors, and the interesting thing is that one of the additional producers was actually Liu Zhenwei, who was famous in later generations, Wang Zheng remembered that Shaw Brothers and wireless did not have such a person as Liu Zhenwei, and only after asking did he know that Shaw Brothers Pictures and Asia Capital have cooperated, and Asia Capital has a film post-production company privately, and Liu Zhenwei is the manager of this company, and he also does some production and production work, and occasionally engages in script creation, Wang Zheng really wanted to ask him if the script for Journey to the West had been created, but it was a long time coming, and it was not too late to slowly apply his words in the future.

Everything is ready, Wang Zheng took Liu Zhenwei and several assistant directors to the Tianhou Temple, first inspected the filming site, and then made a detailed shooting plan.

Tin Hau Temple is located at No. 10 Tin Hau Temple Road in Causeway Bay, built in the early Qing Dynasty, has a history of more than 300 years, is one of the earliest temples in Xiangjiang, Tin Hau Temple's Tin Hau Niangniang, also known as Mazu, was passed down in Fujian, and is said to be a god who protects the sea.

Came to the gate of the Tin Hau Temple, pilgrims are endless, the incense in the temple is very prosperous, and there is a couplet engraved on both sides of the door.

Shanglian is "Baiyue Shengling Avenue for the public blessing from Tianhong Qiyu;"

The next link is: "The eight directions prayed for the masses to live in Youlu Huan Bo Hai Qing Anlan." ”

The next book: engraved in the second year of the Republic of China.

Several people were admiring this couplet, and a person came next to him and asked, "May I ask if it is Director Wang Zheng?"

Wang Zheng looked at this person and saw that he was dressed in a neat suit, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, in his twenties, and behaving like a pilgrim who had come to ask God for blessing.

"I'm Wang Zheng, I don't know if you're you?"

The visitor looked at Wang Zheng, and when he saw that he was so young, he was slightly surprised and immediately recovered, and said, "Hello, Director Wang, I am Dai Changsheng, and I am responsible for the crew's future filming here." ”

Wang Zheng held his outstretched hand: "Hello, Mr. Dai, I'm really embarrassed to ask you to wait for me in person." ”

"Director Wang, you don't need to be so polite, you can call me immortal, a few of you will go to the main hall with me to have a look, a few please!"

After Dai Changsheng finished speaking, he led a few people into the main hall, the main hall of the main hall was dedicated to the golden body of the queen of heaven, and the offering table was full of various incense candles. The left and right side halls are also dedicated to the gods Guanyin, the God of Wealth and Bao Gong.

After looking at the structure of the entire hall, the group came to the main hall again, Wang Zheng looked at an open space in the center of the main hall, looked up at the beams again, and asked Dai Changsheng next to him: "Changsheng, I will put a glass display case here in the center of the hall, and a camera will be set up on the beam above the display case, and there will be actors crawling on it, I don't know if this is appropriate?"

Dai Changsheng glanced up at the beam of the room and said, "It's okay above, as long as Director Wang doesn't set up a machine over the golden body of the gods, of course, he can't touch the golden body of the gods and the offering table." ”

Wang Zheng nodded: "You can rest assured about this, we will never touch the gods in the temple, nor will we damage anything in the temple, I don't know how long you can give the crew to shoot?"

"For a maximum of 20 days, we also take advantage of this time to maintain the buildings in the temple. "Before going out, the president explained that Dai Changsheng didn't dare to give more time.

Wang Zheng thought about it in his heart and nodded: "Yes, I think twenty days should be about the same." ”

Shoot the scene in the temple first, hurry up some time, and then the crew will work overtime, it's almost the same, there are a lot of night scenes in this play, and there is plenty of time to shoot overtime.
