The customs about marriage are slightly different from place to place, especially Luzhou and Bingcheng, which are thousands of miles apart, and there is inevitably a gap in customs. Fortunately, the families of both sides do not have to decide the issue according to customs. According to the general rule, the bride price is paid before marriage, and here it is simplified to a casual drink.

Roughly idle wine is only a local characteristic of Luzhou, Shao Shuaijun doesn't understand the meaning of idle wine, and others don't know, anyway, it has been passed down for so many years. According to the literal interpretation, it is the wine that I drink in my free time, and I guess I want to use this wine to bring the relationship between the two families closer.

Bingcheng and Luzhou are too far apart, so in the end, the negotiated idle wine will be solved in a hotel in the capital. During the Olympic Games, the two families were able to come and see the Olympics. Bragging, chatting, after a meal, the formal salute is completed, according to the customs of the countryside, Shao Shuaijun and Li Xiuxiu are married.

When the excitement is over, the two can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

It felt like something more about each other.

Outside of love, there seems to be a taste of family appearing.

In this life, in addition to reaping love, it is to form a family.

It's not that romantic, but the distance between them seems to be closer.

"What are you thinking?" Lying on the bed, Li Xiuxiu turned around and looked at Shao Shuaijun.

Shao Shuaijun put his hands behind his head and looked at the ceiling: "I'm thinking about the producer of "IMAX-3D Yupu Tuan", and I want to keep up with this technology at all times. The North American release of "No Man's Land" is also about to begin, and "500 Days with Shamo" will also be promoted. I guess I'm going to India to prepare a movie soon, so I'm busy. ”

"Indian films?"

Shao Shuaijun hugged Li Xiuxiu into his arms. He kissed him lightly on the forehead and said, "Do you remember when I bought the film and television rights of two novels from India?" Originally, I was going to shoot it myself, but a while ago a British director came and wanted to adapt "Q&A", and I promised him to invest in him as long as the script was well written, and I was the filmmaker. It is estimated that the project will be established in September. ”

Li Xiuxiu frowned: "Then aren't you very busy this year?" ”

"yes, I'm afraid I won't be able to watch this Olympics, and then I have to fly around in the air and be a trapeze. I was going to propose to you. Then we'll get married. Going on a trip for a honeymoon, this ...... Why don't I quit my job? Shao Shuaijun said apologetically.

"No, of course it's a career that's important, and you can get married at any time. You're going to finish these movies first. If you don't keep yourself busy with movies. You must not die of sorrow. Hmph, in your heart, movies will always come first, can I only be regarded as second? Li Xiuxiu gently beat Shao Shuaijun's inconspicuous chest muscles.

Shao Shuaijun smiled: "How can it." You and the movie are tied for first place, in no particular order. ”

"Tied for the first, I don't do it, I want to be the only first. Otherwise, I'll kick you out of bed. ”

"Hey, it's okay to tie for first and first."

"No, it's not good, look at the move, seventy-two road Tan legs."

"Ah, it's so ruthless, look at my whimsical old tree roots!"

"Ah, haha, I dare to make such a nasty trick, then, Aunt Ben has to show her unique skills, the monkey of the heavenly girl scattering flowers picks peaches!"

"Hey, let go of Mrs. Shi, the poor road is from you."

After frolicking for a while, both of them sweated slightly. Shao Shuaijun turned over and pressed on, supporting his body with both hands, looking at Li Xiuxiu's beautiful face, his blood suddenly surged up. Half-panting, he said, "Wife." It's getting late, so let's wash and sleep, shall we? ”

Li Xiuxiu used a pillow to block Shao Shuaijun's fiery eyes: "Sleep, sleep, sleep, don't think nonsense." ”

"The meaning of washing and sleeping is very profound, but in general, it is 'go on'."

Shao Shuaijun blocked the pillow, and the topic of the sun continued. For a while, spring was full of joy, accompanied by the delicate panting of Xi Suosuo, in this bustling city, in this warm room, spreading, spreading.

God created the man, and the man created the woman.

A snake told the couple that the apples were delicious.

And so there were humans.

……

Danny. Boyle wrote the script faster than expected, and in mid-August, he took the freshly baked script and found Shao Shuaijun. Sure enough, Danny. Boyle ditched the clichéd name of "Q&A" in favor of the funny name "Slumdog Millionaire."

The script and the original book have also changed a lot, not only the names of the heroes and heroines have been replaced, but even the plot has become more bizarre and twisty, making it look more commercial and more in line with the story interest of Hollywood themes.

"Jamal. Malik, a young street boy from Mumbai, was interrogated and tortured by the Indian police. The reason is that Jamal participated in an Indian version of the live TV show "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire", which can make a person a millionaire overnight, but just before he faced the last question, the host exposed him as cheating, because Jamal did not choose the answer that the host gave him during the break, which is unconscionable, and Jamal of course denied it.

So Jamal began to explain why he was able to answer each question perfectly.

He talks about a Hollywood star he met, his mother, who was killed in a religious conflict, and how he and his brother Salim met Latika, the love of his life.

Three homeless young people are sheltered in an orphanage and live by begging every day. But the head of the orphanage wanted to blind them in order to increase their begging income, so they fled. As they climbed the train, Latika was left behind because she was running slowly, and Salim on the train had already grabbed her hand, but suddenly let go of her hand in an instant, watching Latika be caught by the orphanage again.

The brothers temporarily stayed near the Taj Mahal, with Jamal making a living as a guide to tourists, and Salim stealing from tourists with street thugs.

But Jamal's longing for Latika has not diminished with the passage of time. Eventually, he persuaded Salim to return to Mumbai to find Latika, but a series of events led him to meet Latika. But she lost her again, and she was taken away by the gang boss. And the elder brother Salim also became a member of the gang.

So Jamal thought of coming to the TV show because he knew it was Latica's favorite show and she would definitely see him. At this time, Jamal has overcome one obstacle after another with his vivid life experience, and only one last problem is left between Jamal and Rs 20 million.

Police deemed Jamal's story "grotesque, but plausible," and let him go back to the competition.

Latika saw him on TV, and Salim woke up at this point. Gave Ratty the truck keys with the phone. Urge her to go to Jamal and drag the rest of the gang down.

The final question is "Name the third musketeer", at which point Jamal laughs self-deprecatingly, having been beaten by his teacher as a child for skipping class and not learning the story of The Three Musketeers. Despite the complete adoration of these three musketeers. But the name of the third musketeer is not known. But he still chose to call for help. Call his brother, which is the only number he knows.

The call was made to his brother Salim, but it was Latika. Jamal was thrilled to hear her voice. But Latika didn't know the answer. Jamal relied on fate to choose A, because he didn't come to the show for the money, but in the end, the god of fate favored him. At this time, Salim died with the gang boss in order to let them live happily together.

That night, Jamal and Latika finally met at the train station. They kissed selflessly, and lovers eventually became married. ”

After reading the script, Shao Shuaijun couldn't help but nodded, this is the plot of the original movie. Although the story is much worse than the original "Q&A", the touching emotions are still the same, and the more tortuous experience can better impress the audience.

Slowly closing the script, Shao Shuaijun said: "Danny, I have to admit that this script is very good, you have moved me." Well, let's sign a contract, I will invest in this movie and leave it to you to shoot! ”

"Oh, great, thank you, Shao."

"It's nothing, I hope we have a good time working together."

"It's a pleasure to work with."

and Danny. Boyle soon reached a cooperation agreement, given that India and the United States have a relatively good relationship, North America's Summit Entertainment will independently invest in "Slumdog Millionaire", Shao Shuaijun will serve as the producer, Danny will direct the film for $500,000 directing, and Shao Shuaijun will also participate in the preparation and formation of the crew.

The filming location will be in Mumbai, India, where Bollywood, India's largest film industry base, is located, which has a very suitable environment and many film companies to work with.

Because of the sufficient time for filming and the sufficient capital budget, Danny could prepare the script very well, while Shao Shuaijun began to take on the responsibilities of a producer and contact local film companies in India to cooperate. This made it impossible for him to continue watching the Olympics, and he rarely even went to the filming site of "IMAX-3D Yupu Troupe".

For the sake of safety, when flying to India, Shao Shuaijun brought more than a dozen accompanying bodyguards, and even hired a group of employees of a security company in Mumbai in advance. In fact, he can be named as a producer and direct others to do his duties, for example, he has named a producer in all the films of Summit Entertainment, but he is almost not involved in any of the films.

The same is true for mainland movies, almost as long as it is a movie under Dream Chasing Entertainment, it will be hung with Shao Shuaijun's name. It is not only a kind of respect, but also wants to use Shao Shuaijun's reputation. Shao Shuaijun is allowed to be named, but he rarely pays attention to these movies, and he doesn't have time to experience them one movie at a time.

Only "IMAX-3D Jade Pu Tuan" and "Slumdog Millionaire" are his real producers. IMAX-3D is the technology he needs, and the slums are what he values. A film company wants to develop and wants to become bigger and stronger. There is a great need for this kind of award-winning film to decorate the façade.

In addition to "Slumdog Millionaire", there are also several award-winning movies, which are also in Shao Shuaijun's plan. For example, he has already purchased the copyright of "The Fantasy Drifting of Young Pi", and when the time comes, it will be a bomb, a bomb that bombs the Oscars.

After being introduced, Shao Shuaijun contacted a local film production company "Take-One", and with the help of Take-One, he found a suitable filming location. The main filming location was "Dharavi" in Mumbai, the largest slum in all of India, close to the airport.

As long as you come to Mumbai, you can see this slum, the total population is estimated to be more than 1 million people, and the urban area of Mumbai is only more than 200,000 talents. In order to find the exact filming location in the Dharavi ghetto, Shao Shuaijun and Danny Boyle, along with several members of the production crew, followed the Take-One crew and ran around.

The local government is very supportive of Hollywood's coming to make a film, and has also dispatched police to cooperate. However, the traffic is very poor, and the whole street is full of people, ox carts and horse-drawn carts, which seriously blocks the traffic. Getting from one place to another doesn't necessarily mean that driving is not necessarily as fast as walking.

The first time he came to India, Shao Shuaijun was still very excited, although it was dirty and messy, how to say that this is also one of the four ancient countries in the world, and another completely different cultural environment. From clothing to architecture, it is different from China or the United States, the only regret is that the streets of Mumbai are full of English, and many of the slogans of shops and shops are written in English.

There is an inexplicable sense of disobedience.

Because it is not a tour, the people's itinerary is rushed, and they are crowded around all day long, shuttling to and fro in all corners of the slum.

"You'd better find a spare venue when you choose a venue, because the streets of Mumbai change very quickly. Maybe a month later, the place you find will be a different place. Said the local staff.

"Why, Mumbai is growing so fast?"

"It's not, you know, Dharavi is a slum, maybe tomorrow it's going to be demolished here, and then the day after tomorrow it's going to build another broken house, that's it."

Also a developing country, China is getting better day by day, and its cities are becoming more and more developed. In India, on the other hand, the rich are always getting richer, and the poor are always poor. Without reaching India, it is difficult for Shao Shuaijun to imagine that there is still a caste system in this country, there are untouchables, and 80% of the people are illiterate.

Slums are synonymous with crampedness, dirtiness and crime, and in the days he spent searching for filming locations, Shao saw at least five street thefts. A staff member of the production crew, even under the protection of the police, was stolen by thieves. However, this only happens in the slums, and the urban area of Mumbai is not bad, no different from the average city.

As for ordinary Indians, they are also friendly and welcoming.

When the production team wanted to find a small stream, the locals led the way enthusiastically, and finally found a small stream called Mahim, which was very suitable for filming. When the production team wanted to pay a tip, the other party didn't accept it and walked away silently, which changed Shao Shuaijun's impression of India.

Regardless of the top level of the country, most of the ordinary people living at the bottom are simple and kind.

After spending more than a week looking for a venue, and after identifying venues such as the Dharevi Slum, Mahim Creek and Victoria Railway Station, the preparation of the crew was handed over to Danny. After Boyle and the production crew, Shao Shuaijun rushed back to Hong Kong, and Ning Hao, Xu Zheng, and Huang Bo were already waiting to be released in the United States with the edited American version of "No Man's Land".
