Chapter 21: The Feast of the Hung Gate?
Filming resumed on the afternoon of the third day.
The filming scene is the day before, that is, the scene where the neurotic policeman played by Wu Zhenyu finds the killer agent Tony and asks about the whereabouts of the actor.
At first, Bao Dexi, Wu Zhenyu and others were surprised when they received the shooting notice, they originally thought that the crew would have to delay at least a while if there was a conflict with the Taoist, but they didn't expect to resume filming so soon, and they couldn't help but speculate whether the group would settle things out in one night or continue filming against the wind.
However, Zeng Zhiwei was more wide-sighted, and heard that there was a conflict between the two groups of people in Xingyi'an, and there were several firefights the night before. Zeng Zhiwei couldn't help but secretly sigh that Xu Jing and others were lucky to avoid a crisis.
Chen Yaoxing, Tai Long and the others naturally wouldn't spread the news about what happened that night, after all, it was a very shameful thing. Therefore, the outside world only knows that Xingyi'an is fighting internally, but they never understand what the reason is.
"Cut! Let's take a break, Wu Zhenyu, come over here. On the set, Xu Jing shouted to stop, and then went into the back kitchen of the store.
Seeing Xu Jing calling him into the back kitchen, Wu Zhenyu thought of what happened when Xu Jing went into the back kitchen the day before yesterday, and his face suddenly turned a little pale, what Xu Jing did that day really scared him a lot, so that every time he looked at the back kitchen after coming to the set today, he had a feeling of heart palpitations.
Especially when filming, I always can't let go, and I have already NG seven or eight. In fact, it's not that his acting skills and talent are not good, but the role he plays, Xu Jing not only demonstrated it himself, but also expanded the role of this role to reality, and gave them a live version of 'What is neurotic' performance. Therefore, it is inevitable that there will be a little psychological shadow, and there is always a feeling that the person he imitates is looking at him with a wicked smile next to him, so that he can't get into the role.
Wu Zhenyu hesitated for a moment and then followed.
"Here, take a sip of water. After the two came to the back kitchen, Xu Jing handed Wu Zhenyu a bottle of water, opened a bottle himself, and said, "You are afraid of me?"
"No, no, director. Wu Zhenyu quickly shook his head after entering the water.
"It's okay, I know it scared you a little bit that day. You just haven't been able to let go of your performance, it seems very stiff, in fact, you don't have to be nervous, you can figure out more about my performance that day, give full play to this role, and don't worry about me. On the set, I'm just the director, and you're the actor, and we're all here to make the movie well, understand?" Xu Jing took a sip of water, and then said to Wu Zhenyu.
"Well, I understand, director, thank you!" Wu Zhenyu understood Xu Jing's words and said.
"Okay, you can rest first, and we'll resume shooting later. Xu Jing said, and then went out.
After the break, Wu Zhenyu's performance relaxed a lot, no longer as restrained as before, and passed after NG twice. This scene is over, and Zeng Zhiwei's role is over.
In the next week or so, the turmoil on the road gradually subsided, after all, Xing Yi'an is the overlord of Xiangjiang with a head and a face, and it is impossible for the internal fire to be left alone, even if a few internal bigwigs do not come forward to suppress it, the Xiangjiang police will also come forward.
In the past week or so, due to Zhou Xiaoxun's face injury, her role was moved to the back, so the scenes filmed by Xu Jing alone and the assassination and defensive scenes in the beginning of the movie in which Lin Jianguo made a cameo, there were not many twists and turns.
There is another thing, that is, Zhao Xiaojun contacted a group of comrades-in-arms to come to Xiangjiang, some of whom had fought together, and some of whom were ordinary scouts who had just retired. This will be a major disarmament of millions in the country, and not every force will be able to retain its strength. And the government also lost a lot of brains about these laid off soldiers, how could there be so many jobs to arrange so many people? So when Zhao Xiaojun contacted them, most of them were willing to come.
In fact, Xu Jing asked Zhao Xiaojun to contact them not all to prevent Xingyi'an, but also because the company was short of people. It's not that you can't recruit people in Xiangjiang, but the people recruited in Xiangjiang have never been able to get along with Zhao Xiaojun and others, because at this time, Xiangjiang has quite serious discrimination against mainlanders, and it is inevitable that there will be estrangement.
At the same time, they are the best soldiers, obey orders, and will do things strictly when they are arranged, and they will not make so many cheats and tricks and cut corners. What Zhao Xiaojun and others have to do is to cultivate their professional qualities, especially the crew logistics required by Xu Jing, which is related to the efficiency and quality of making movies in the future.
"Xiao Jing, Xing Yi'an sent a post over there, take a look. On this day, when Xu Jing returned home after filming a scene in the cinema, Lin Jianguo called him over and handed him a post.
Xu Jing took it and took a look, it turned out to be an invitation sent by Xingyi'an to Huaqiang, inviting Lin Jianguo and Xu Jing to a banquet at noon tomorrow to resolve a series of conflicts that had occurred before.
"Got it, uncle, I'll just go with Lao Zhao. Xu Jing didn't plan to let Lin Jianguo solve this matter, after all, because of him, he didn't want to rely on Lin Jianguo to help him wipe his butt.
"Okay, then be careful. You don't have to be wronged. Although we are not as powerful as Xingyi'an, and we don't have any serious backers, but if we really conflict, we can also break their muscles and bones. Lin Jianguo instructed.
"Well, got it. Xu Jing said.
At twelve o'clock at noon the next day, Xu Jing took Zhao Xiaojun to drive to the Dingsheng restaurant designated on the invitation.
Regarding the conflict with Xing Yi'an, Xu Jing didn't want to continue to entangle, after all, he was not a mixed club, but did serious things and opened a serious company. It's not a way to be involved with the community after all, there has never been a thief the day before yesterday, how can there be a thousand days to prevent thieves?
As for how to resolve the conflict with Xing Yi'an, it depends on Xing Yi'an's attitude towards Huaqiang.
Located in Sha Tsim Tsui, not far from Jiuzhou Hotel, Dingsheng Restaurant is a Hong Kong-style restaurant under the control of Xingyi, a restaurant aimed at the middle class and above, mixing Hong Kong-style tea restaurant, Chinese food and Western restaurant business form.
When Xu Jing and Zhao Xiaojun came to the restaurant, someone led them to a medium-sized box on the third floor, where in addition to a waiter, there were two strong men in suits and leather shoes guarding the door of the box.
"Mr. Xu, please stay!" Just when Xu Jing and Zhao Xiaojun were about to enter, they were stopped by two strong men at the door: "Please forgive Mr. Xu!"
After that, he made a gesture to search his body for examination. These are all explained to Hua Qiang, in fact, it is not that Xiang Hua Qiang is afraid that Xu Jing will borrow a banquet like a stunned young man to be unfavorable to him, after all, this is his territory.
From the beginning, Xiang Huaqiang didn't know about the conflict between Xing Yi'an and Jiuzhou Film Company, after all, it was just a small company that had just been registered, and as a big man, he wouldn't care about some small things underneath. It wasn't until Chen Yaoxing and Tai Long's gang within Xingyi'an fought hard and had to be forced that he figured out the source of the matter, and later inquired about it, and only then did he know that the person behind this Jiuzhou Film Company was Lin Jianguo.
Xiang Huaqiang didn't know Lin Jianguo, but he had heard of this person to some extent, and knew that this person relied on the path of some Yanei disciples in the mainland to smuggle some department stores and daily necessities from Xiangjiang to the mainland.
And Lin Jianguo's reputation on the road is quite good, he talks about rules, and he also pays attention to harmony and wealth, so Xiang Huaqiang does not intend to conflict after learning about the matter, otherwise who knows if it will involve some people with deep backgrounds in the mainland? Don't look at the mainland is very closed, but which of the major families in Xiangjiang does not have any contact with the mainland?
Moreover, Xiang Huaqiang also learned that the people under Lin Jianguo were all soldiers from the battlefield.
In the 80s, looking at the whole world, there was a well-known organization called the "Big Circle Gang". In fact, it is not a gang, it was originally just a loose organization of mainlanders who hugged together to keep warm after being discriminated against in Hong Kong and Macao, and this organization with a bit of 'brothers in the four seas' flavor first developed and grew in Hong Kong and Macao, and then rapidly expanded to Southeast Asia, and then developed to North America.
The most famous is that Vancouver Chinatown was occupied by the Vietnamese gang in 84 years, and when they first arrived in the local area, the big circle gang couldn't stand the viet gang's show of power, so they gathered people from Hong Kong and Macao, and landed in Vancouver by 'jumping ship' and 'jumping plane', and killed several Vietnamese gangs. In the end, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police had no choice but to take the big circle gang, and finally had to drive the Vietnamese gang out of Vancouver to quell the bigger conflict.
And the members of this big circle gang include early guards, educated youth, and post-war veterans in the south.
For those veterans under Lin Jianguo, if it is a single person, it will be counted, but they are obviously all veterans, so Xiang Qiang can't think about it too much. It's not that Xiang Huaqiang is afraid of conflict with the big circle gang, but there is no conflict of interest between them, so why fight to the death? Therefore, negotiation is Xiang Huaqiang's first choice to resolve the conflict with Jiuzhou Film Company.
In the negotiation on the road, the weak party usually invites a middleman with high morality or a deep background, and in Xiangjiang Xingyi'an and others cannot be called weak, but Lin Jianguo not only did not invite a middleman, but also let Xu Jing come forward with a hairy boy, who can occupy the home advantage, and Xiang Huaqiang is also happy to do so.
Although the negotiation pays attention to the word "peace", it does not mean that there is a concession, and how to maximize one's own interests is the ultimate goal of the negotiation. Xiang Huaqiang asked his subordinates to search their bodies is nothing more than to give the other party a dismount first, press the other party in momentum first, and seize the opportunity for negotiation.
Seeing the two people wanting to search their bodies, Xu Jing's originally deep and calm eyes suddenly became a little distant.
"Heh!" Xu Jing's eyes fluttered and looked left and right, and he sighed disdainfully, then lightly spit out the tip of his tongue, raised his hands, and made a gesture for the other party to search.
Seeing this, the two strong men bowed down and stretched out their hands to Xu Jing's waist, and at this moment, Xu Jing moved.
