Chapter 183: Prison Storm (4)
Compared with Liang Jiahui's version in his previous life, Zhou Xingchi lacks a layer of bookish energy, and at the same time, he also lacks the faint elegance of Liang.
For this reason, Wang Zheng can only use Zhou Xingchi's own temperament to create a cowardly and outspoken Lu Jiayao, just like Ah Xing he played in "The Last Big Guy in the Rivers and Lakes" in later generations, until he met Zhong Tianzheng played by Zhou Yunfa in the prison hospital, and after being infected, Lu Jiayao rose up and risked his life with Ah Zheng to challenge the shady prison rules.
Soon after the scene in the store ended, Zhou Runfa, who had greeted him in advance, came to the crew to report before the official start of filming, and he Jiaju, the actor of Da Mi, came with him.
After the actors arrived, the Correctional Services Department and the Police Public Relations Bureau were also negotiated by the relevant departments of Shaw Brothers, and then the crew chose a good day and held a simple and low-key start-up ceremony in Stanley Prison, and only invited a radio entertainment reporter to do a simple interview.
It wasn't until TVB broadcast the news that the Shaw Brothers' new drama "Prison Storm" was officially launched on the same day, and the major paparazzi in Xiangjiang learned of Wang Zheng's dynamics, and hurriedly picked up the equipment to track the news.
Wang Zheng deliberately did not disclose the cast and story framework of the new play, firstly, in order to create a gimmick to hype, and secondly, in order to have a good shooting environment, without the interference of the media and the outside world, I believe that the filming process and quality of this drama will be improved.
The filming process in the first few days was relatively slow, mainly because all the actors were in the process of getting familiar with the roles, and Zhou Xingchi was acting against Zhou Yunfa for the first time, and he was more nervous, Wang Zheng didn't want to put too much pressure on him, in addition to slowing down the process, he also took the time to let the talented Huang Zhan fill in the lyrics for the two songs in the play.
The arrangement of the theme song "Light of Friendship" came out as early as the 50s, but his original name is "Green Island Serenade", which is used to sing a love story that takes place on the treasure island. Another song "Treasure Tonight" is also from the 60s, and later became popular because of Chen Baiqiang's cover, but the lyrics of these two songs are not very suitable for the occasion, under the intentional guidance of Wang Zheng, two classic songs came out in advance under Huang Zhan's pen. As for the adaptation rights of these two songs, the staff of Shaw Brothers went to negotiate the copyright with the record company.
In addition to these two songs, there is also a classic love song "Sweet Honey" by Teresa Teng, which will also be put into the play as an interlude, this song is a local folk song brought back by Teresa Teng from Indonesia, and then created by Polygram Records, which is already a classic among the classics.
In the beach of Repulse Bay on Hong Kong Island, in addition to the houses built by wealthy people such as Li Ka-shing, the famous Stanley Prison is also built here, and when housing prices rise in the future, this prison may be the largest mansion in Repulse Bay. The environment here is beautiful, not only has a natural sea view, but also the sunset is also a must in Xiangjiang.
The October sun is warm and bright, and the two large stainless steel iron doors of Stanley Prison are like two large mirrors that will shine under the sunlight.
Crossing the iron gate to the large square inside the prison, there were more than 100 prisoners gathered in the square, if it weren't for the seven or eight cameras set up around it, I would have thought that it was time for the prisoners to release again.
Wang Zheng, who was also in the square, was wearing a gray prison uniform, his palms holding the loudspeaker were full of sweat, and his voice was a little exhausted.
"All departments and actors prepare, do it again!"

After several failures, filming resumed on the spot, and with Wang Zheng's shout, the crowd of prisoners standing still in front of them all moved around.
Camera No. 1 slowly pushes in from the iron fence outside the plaza, and the first thing that comes is a chorus singing.
"There are a few confidants in the world, how many friendships can last, today parting with you and shaking hands, friendship is always in your heart, and there is a parting today, he will be able to get together..."
I saw that Zhou Yanfa in the square was wearing a pair of sunglasses made of tin foil, holding an erhu from nowhere, singing the adapted "Light of Friendship" loudly, and there was a circle of prisoner fans around him, just like a concert scene. Not far from them, Huang Guangliang, the actor of the silly label, also sang along, slapping the ground while singing, as if he was accompaniment to his own singing voice.
Looking at the other prisoners in the square, Wu Zhixiong, who played the blind snake, was playing mini billiards shirtless, leaking a large tattoo on his back. Cheng Kuiammon, who plays Dasha, is playing basketball, the basketball rule is three steps to the basket, he took seven or eight steps before throwing the basketball into the basket, and after throwing it, he looked at the prisoners under the basket with a provocative face and dared not speak out, and performed the momentum of the social king very well.
At this time, He Jiaju, who played the role of Da Mi, was selling cigarettes privately in a corner of the square, not only increasing the price of cigarettes sold outside for only 5 yuan a pack tenfold, but also putting on an expression of whether he liked to buy cigarettes or not.
And Wang Zheng's own cameo prisoner has become a passerby, next to him is Liangkun, who has dyed black hair, when the camera sweeps over, he is doing one-handed push-ups shirtless, showing off the uneven muscles on his body, and at the same time laying the groundwork for the next plot.
The camera swept over the ground, and several people were all the leaders of the prisoners in the prison, who were also the leading actors in the play, and they would perform the portraits of the people in the prison.
Sentenced to three years in prison for manslaughter, Lo Ka-yiu's actor Chow Sing Chi also came to the square, where he was lining up with other prisoners to let off steam.
The unfamiliar environment in the prison made Zhou Xingchi a little uneasy in his heart, and the three-year sentence would be spent in this prison surrounded by iron nets, where the scenery and air were good, but he lost his freedom.
As the wind team circled the square, Zhang Yaoyang, who played the role of the prison guard's murderer, led a graceful female policeman to meet him, and the two talked and laughed, automatically ignoring the group of prisoners who were blinded and glowing green.
Seeing a rare woman appear in the prison, a group of prisoners whistled hooligan on the back of the policewoman, and before they could finish admiring the round ass, Cheng Kui, who played Dasha, clashed with the basketball team.
The inmates who play basketball are the younger brothers of several leaders, and the younger brothers are beaten, of course, the eldest brother can't sit idly by, otherwise how will he mix in prison in the future.
I saw He Jiaju, who played Da Mi, and Huang Guangliang, who played Silly Biao, each with a large group of people and horses, rushed straight to the phalanx formed by Dasha, and the square suddenly fell into a scuffle.
The three-way battle, even the place where Wang Zheng was staying was also affected, I saw Liang Kun standing in front of Wang Zheng, and put down all the prisoners who rushed here three times and five divided by two, and there was no one enemy, and in a moment, more than a dozen moaning figures lay down in front of him.
Seeing Liang Kun's might, the prisoners who wanted to rush here were shocked, and they all turned around and stayed away from this killing god.
Liang Kun was very proud, wiped the tip of his nose with his thumb, and made a Bruce Lee signature move, but before he could be proud, he was pulled to the ground by Wang Zheng.
"Kun Tsai, don't be cool, squat down quickly, the security guards are coming!"
As soon as Wang Zheng's voice fell, the prison guards of the brigade who had been waiting for the side for a long time trotted in neat steps, holding shields and batons in their hands, and instantly surrounded the entire Fangfeng Square.
Compared with the experienced Blind Snake and others, Lu Jiayao's actor Zhou Xingchi is the kind of inexperienced prisoner, if it weren't for Zhou Yanfa, who played Ah Zheng, and quickly pulled him to the ground, what would be waiting for him would be an iron-headed baton.
As more and more prison guards rushed into the square, the chaotic scene was brought under control, and in the end, only Da Mi and Silly Biao were left to beat Dasha together, until Dasha was hugged by three prison guards, and the riot was calmed down.
He Jiaju performed the insidious cunning of the role of Da Mi quite well, when Dasha was controlled, he did not forget to take the opportunity to sneak attack, and after the sneak attack was successful, he squatted on the ground again in a fake appearance, making Dasha very angry, struggling violently to rush up to take revenge, and finally was shot on the head by the angry prison guard Zhang Yaoyang with an iron stick.
Cheng Kui is a good actor, he didn't forget to stare at Zhang Yaoyang with bull's eyes when he didn't stop bleeding, although blood was just a prop, but until he fell to the ground, he still stared at the bull's eye, and people who didn't know thought that he didn't faint, but didn't die.
Looking at Dasha's miserable end, Zhou Runfa whispered to remind Zhou Xingchi, who was squatting next to him: "He is the security captain here, his nickname is Murder Xiong, just by hearing the name, he knows that he is a vicious dog, this servant street was stabbed three times by several hooligans outside before, and now when he sees us, he is like an enemy." β
Zhou Xingchi looked at Zhang Yaoyang's back and was a little stunned, he didn't expect that this good-looking security captain was actually a villain who would repay him.
Zhou Yunfa continued: "There is no such scene once in three years, it is your luck to be able to see it, you have to be more careful here than outside, you may inadvertently offend a certain big guy." β
Knowing that Chow Yun-fat was teaching himself the rules of survival here, Zhou Xingchi nodded hurriedly and said, "Brother Zheng, I will ask you for more advice in the future!"
"Can you talk to me less so Sven?"
Zhou Yunfa was speechless, and couldn't stand his appearance.
As the last shot ended, Wang Zheng hurriedly looked at Pan Hengsheng, who was in charge of controlling the camera, until the latter nodded slightly, and he shouted "card" loudly.
After the sound of "card", the "prisoners" lay down in the square, and this scene can toss these extras a lot.
