Chapter 81: Filming Begins

"Dahai, how do you grasp the role of 'Ade'?" Xu Jing called Sun Dahai over again and asked.

The character of Shuai Ade is the most special one in the story, he doesn't like violence, he doesn't like killing, he loves peace and love. He also worked hard to maintain his life for this, but his efforts were eventually destroyed by the madness of the little overlord. In the end, he had to fall and become a part of the evil in the walled city, and finally died at the hands of a child gunman he was bent on saving.

A desperate struggle can be seen in him, and his fall has a strong fatalistic tone, but he still ends up being a victim of desire~ innocence. This character is one of the most desperate symbols in this movie.

"It's okay, there shouldn't be any problems." Sun Dahai smiled and said, "I didn't expect me to be able to act, hehe." ”

"With your appearance, if you act well, maybe the film company will really ask you to act in the future, hehe." Xu Jing also said with a smile.

"Well, I didn't think about it." Sun Dahai took out a box of cigarettes, skillfully picked one out, handed it to Xu Jing, saw that he shook his head slightly, and handed it to Zhao Xiaojun instead, and then lit one for himself with his own eyes, his eyes were a little deep, and he said lightly: "There are a lot of scars on my body, I can live my own small life, earn a little money and send it home to build a house for my parents." ”

"If you want to come out of the walled city, you might as well come to our company to help." Zhao Xiaojun lit the cigarette, was silent for a while, and said.

Sun Dahai turned his head to look at Zhao Xiaojun, but did not reply, but fell into hesitation.

"Those actors are also from your patrol?" Seeing that he didn't reply immediately, Xu Jing pointed to a person not far away and asked.

"Well, it's all, Wu Zheng wants them to play the police~ Inspector, the people in the city have not seen the police~ Inspector, no one can act, so he pulled them over." Sun Dahai replied.

Looking at the patrol members, Xu Jing frowned slightly. In fact, it's not bad, let them play the role of the police ~ It's not a big problem, but the head of the police ~ Cha is an extremely important role.

In the story of "Borderless City", although there are not many police ~ detective scenes, it runs through the whole story, from the beginning of the arrest of the "Young Three Heroes" when he wanted to be greedy for dirty money, to the "Young Three Heroes" when he was destroyed, he made a fake scene and inadvertently sent the "Ah Jiao" of the Three Heroes to the "arms of God" with stray bullets, and then to the fire and the front because he was afraid of the rumors of arms trafficking and killed people, and finally caught the "Little Overlord" and released him in order to earn greater benefits from him.

Every time he appears, he exudes filth, and his existence tells that the evil of the walled city lies not only in the disorderly underclass society inside it, but also in the orderly high society outside. It is not easy to portray such a character well, but the few people in the patrol team, Xu Jing always feels that there is always a little bit of taste.

"What's the problem?" Seeing Xu Jing frowning, Sun Dahai couldn't help asking.

"Forget it, we'll talk about it then." Xu Jingdao, there are not many days left to shoot, and there is no way at this time, so I can only wait for the filming time to adjust and adjust to see if the best effect can be achieved.

Sun Dahai nodded.

"By the way, have all the parties on the walled city said hello?" Xu Jing said again.

Although Xu Jing is not afraid of the black states and associations inside, but the walled city is a chaotic place after all, if someone in it deliberately disturbs it, I am afraid that it will not be easy for the crew to finish filming the film safely.

"Well, I've said hello, your company has donated a lot of money to dredge the canal in the walled city and clean up the garbage inside, whether it is ordinary residents or various associations, it will take your face to some extent." Sun Dahai replied: "As long as the crew doesn't provoke them, they won't come out of their way to make trouble." ”

"Okay, then you guys get ready, we'll start next week." Xu Jingdao.

In a blink of an eye, it was January 1st, it was New Year's Day, and it was the time for various schools to have a holiday, and this day was also the day when Jiuzhou Company's "Borderless City" was launched.

Compared with the previous two crews, the difference is that many newcomers have been used in some important positions this time, including Wu Zheng as the assistant director, Wei Ping as the art director, and Han Xiaoxin and Qin Tian as the photographer.

It's natural to see the results of their efforts these days. Assistant director Wu Zheng naturally doesn't need to say much, the casting work is extremely good, not only saves a lot of time, but also makes Xu Jing very satisfied in terms of the fit between the actors and the roles, except for a few roles.

And Wei Ping, Han Xiaoxin, and Qin Tian can be seen from the style of the short films they shoot, Wei Ping's mastery of sound, light, and shadow is more prominent, especially in sound contrast, props, and scenery. And if the scene of the rooster escaping in Han Xiaoxin's short film is not up to par with the camera lens, it can be directly used in the movie.

Although the lens of Qin Tian's short film is not very good, the realistic technique also has a certain fit with the style of "Borderless City", so Xu Jing directly asked him to assist Han Xiaoxin as a photographer. Of course, because both of them are working as photographers for the first time, for the sake of insurance, Xu Jing still invited Duke Feng into the crew to serve as the director of photography for "Borderless City", and it can be regarded as hiring another 'teacher' for several people.

After eating the start-up meal, the crew directly transferred to the walled Yinguang Garden, ready to shoot the first scene.

Yinguang Garden was originally used as the official residence of officials in Xiangjiang in the Qing Dynasty, and later belonged to the name of the Walled City Welfare Association, and the builders could not use it to build high-rise buildings, so that the whole walled city formed a 'Hui' shape, and Yinguang Garden was in the center of the 'Hui' character.

Over time, the dense floors of the Kowloon Walled City have increased to the point that 98% of the interior is in a state of darkness, and Yan Kwong Garden is the only spacious and well-lit part of the walled city.

Xu Jingxuan filmed his first scene here, not only because it was spacious and well-lit, but also because Yinguang Garden was one of only three miniature kindergartens in the walled city.

This first scene is a scene at the beginning of "Borderless City" where the protagonist is blocked in the middle by Xiaobawang and his gang and the police~ Cha, and it is also a scene that connects the fire in the ending of the story and begins.

Just imagine, what other scene can be more impactful than being on fire in the big yard of a kindergarten?

In Xu Jing's conception, this scene not only shows the chaotic 'evil' of the walled city, but also implies that the source of this 'evil' has penetrated deep into the young children, echoing the scene where Xiaobawang is killed and replaced by a group of children at the end, reinforcing the 'sin' theme of karmic reincarnation.

"Teams are ready!"

β€œAction!”

When all departments of the crew were ready, Wu Zheng shouted loudly.
