Chapter Eighty-Three: The End Is Not the End
"It's okay if you don't pursue it, but you have to agree to my request." The leader ignored Han Xiaoxin's apology, but turned to Xu Jing and said, "You must give me an important role in the movie." ”
Give him an important role?
Hearing his request, Xu Jing couldn't help frowning again. Let's not talk about the reason for his random entry request, just because every role in this movie is the result of nearly two months of training, where is the important role for him? Even if he is given to him, how can he be guaranteed to act well?
"Director, didn't there be a police~detective role in the play just now? You can let me Uncle Lu try it, if my Uncle Lu can't play well in this walled city, then no one can play well. At this moment, Ah Xiong saw Xu Jing frowning and stood up and said.
After listening to Ah Xiong's explanation, Xu Jing understood the origin of this 'Xin Boss'. It turned out that his name was Lu Xinyan, and he was a small police officer in Kowloon in the 70s, and later he fell into the Kowloon Walled City.
Speaking of the reason, we have to start with Yan Xiong, this 'Yan Xiong' is none other than the prototype of the police ~ detective head 'Yan Xiong' in "Borderless City", he is a well-known figure in Xiangjiang, and in the 70s, he was one of the 'four major detectives' on the same level as 'Inspector 500 million' Lu Le, and he was the detective who was specifically responsible for Yau Ma Tei and Kowloon.
And this Lu Xinyan is also Yan Xiong's subordinate who is responsible for collecting money for him, selling guns and doing some other things that cannot be seen, and later in 77 years, after the Xiangjiang Integrity Office officially issued an arrest warrant for Yan Xiong and fled to Thailand, Lu Xinyan was also implicated and hid in the Kowloon Walled City, and since then he has joined the Teochew Gang to do the work of the black state.
In this way, coupled with his expectations for his son to study outside, Xu Jing can be regarded as having figured out Lu Xinyan's purpose of wanting an important role, and he also wants to wash his name, after all, his case record was more than ten years ago, if he can change his glamorous identity and go out in a grand manner, the police at this time may not still hold on to his 'little role'.
In fact, VIII. In the 90s, there were many members of the Black State who were popular in the public eye in Xiangjiang as actors, not to mention Xiang Huaqiang, a big man who basically did not involve himself in the case, and even the backbone thugs of the Black State were not a few, among which the most famous was Wang Yu, a backbone member of the Taiwan Island Bamboo Union Gang, who participated in many sensational bloody cases, but he was still active in public as an artist, and even in the early 90s, Liang Jiahui was kidnapped at gunpoint and went to the Philippines to film.
If you want to escape the punishment of the law in Xiangjiang, one is to have money, and the other is to have a glamorous identity. For Lu Xinyan, if he can go out in layers of protective clothes and live a good life, who would want to nest in the Kowloon Walled City with cats and rats. Sleeping in the 'hell on earth'?
"Okay, let's try a show first." Looking at Lu Xinyan, who was standing aside waiting for his answer, Xu Jing thought for a moment, and finally nodded and said.
Returning to the original filming location again, Lu Xinyan changed into a police uniform, and his righteousness was naturally invisible, but it was not as obscene as in the original version, but it revealed a treacherous atmosphere, which made people know that he was not a good person when he looked at it.
"You don't have many lines in this scene, just three sentences, 'let him go', 'Is this ring gold', 'Fill up the money, and the others owe it first', although the lines are simple, but the things to show are more complicated... Before Xu Jing finished speaking, he was interrupted by the other party.
"I understand, they are the pigs raised by the police~ Inspector, you can kill them when they are fattened, Yan Xiong often said it back then." Lu Xinyan said impatiently.
After many years of career as a black state boss, Lu Xinyan has already developed a posture of a superior, looking down on everyone, and his tone is quite disdainful. Xu Jing frowned slightly, he wanted to warn him, but after thinking about it, it would be more in line with him to play this role with his attitude, if he wears away his condescending momentum, it is difficult to say whether he can find it again, after all, even if he is a professional actor, some things that are brilliant may not be able to be presented many times.
"Okay, let's get ready for each group, and we'll start in a while."
。。。。
"Cards! Lu Xinyan, don't look at the camera. ”
"Cards! Lu Xinyan, don't keep looking at the camera! ”
"Cards! Lu Xinyan, I said that you don't want to look at the camera! ”
。。。。
"Cards! It's over! ”
After seven or eight times in a row, Lu Xinyan was also a little embarrassed, his self-confidence before the start had long been gone, but fortunately, the ninth article had finally passed, and in the performance, the 'Yan Xiong''s high-minded demeanor was presented, and the image of a greedy policeman who regarded the walled black state as a tool for making a fortune was quite expressive.
"Let's get ready, and we'll finish another set of shots today." Looking at the almost perfect performances of Ah Xiong and Lu Xinyan in the monitor, Xu Jing nodded with satisfaction and said.
The next set of shots is a scene that happened after the police ~ detective left, which is one of the most shocking scenes in the whole film, no less than the scene where 'Little Overlord' instigated 'Steak' to shoot a ghost who was also less than ten years old.
In the story, the little overlord was exploited by the police ~ and was about to call on the group of little devils to regroup and rob in order to make a comeback, but was shot by the group of little devils. After killing the little overlord, the arrogant and domineering appearance of the little ghosts reproduced a bit of the spirit of the 'little bean' back then.
If the evil shown by the 'Little Overlord' in the front of the film makes people feel chilled and frightened, then the actions of the little ghosts in this scene are completely crazy.
They are just a bunch of children who are supposed to be protected and enjoy the right to go to school, and some of them may have some kind of talent and may have immeasurable prospects in the future, but in this chaotic environment, they are dangling through the streets with guns thicker than their own arms, and they treat killing as a game.
There is no guilt in their eyes, no fear, only a desire~hope, a pleasure~ to continue.
The story ends with the destruction of the 'Little Overlord' gang, but for the walled city, this is not the end, and after they die, there will naturally be a group of people to replace them.
The untold story continues.
This is fate, such a sad fate is constantly staged and curtain call in the Kowloon Walled City. As Brother Ping said, the children in the walled city, the boys grow up to be hooligans~hooligans, and the girls grow up to be slaves, this is fate.
Their road ahead is so confused that people don't know what to do.
