Chapter 480: That's All for It (Kavin)

On September 19, Wang Shang took the main members of the crew of "The Shawshank Redemption" to Lanti Prison in the magic capital.

It is impossible to go to prison, just like the plot in the movie, everyone is outside the prison waiting for Liang Jiahui's release from prison.

Not only Wang Shang and them, but also Liang Jiahui's relatives and friends, in addition to those who had already received the wind or guessed that the reporters had come to the prison gate at this time, 'Shawshank was released from prison, and Director Wang led the crew to greet him', which must be a very good news.

At 9 o'clock, Liang Jiahui had a prison meal with the blessing of many inmates and officially left this place of redemption.

"Welcome out."

"Congratulations on being free."

"The way to salvation is here. Hahaha"

The sound of a welcome, the sound of a shutter, the flashing lights, all in one.

Liang Jiahui came out today after half a year in prison, without decadence or vicissitudes, but his hair was meticulously combed, his eyes were bright, and he was refreshed.

"Looks like you're well prepared." Wang Shangxiao patted Liang Jiahui's shoulder and said.

Liang Jiahui said: "Your high hopes must be exhausted. ”

Huang Qiusheng immediately struck with a strange yin and yang spirit: "Drag the text, hypocrisy, hahaha~~~"

Naturally, the crew would not let go of such a good publicity opportunity, so a strange scene began to appear at the gate of the prison - an on-site press conference was held.

And the focus of reporters is naturally Liang Jiahui.

"Mr. Liang, what do you want to say most about your prison life in the past six months?"

"Well, this ......" Liang Jiahui lowered his head and thought about it, and only after a long time did he raise his head and say: "Everyone must be responsible for their own actions, even if they are big people and big stars, they still have to follow the most basic spiritual force of our country - the spirit of the legal system." So, after being sentenced to half a year in prison, I worked hard to improve myself during this time......"

Liang Jiahui knew that his image had plummeted because he was imprisoned, so he naturally wanted to find a way to establish himself at this time. Putting oneself in the shoes of a person who is trying to reform oneself, and at the same time slapping the sycophants of the law, is the easiest way to get the understanding and recognition of society.

Although what Liang Jiahui said was very scene, the reporters wrote it down word for word, and the recording was naturally not missing.

"The protagonist of "The Shawshank Redemption" that I am about to play, he is a man who has been sentenced to prison, although he is in prison, he is not decadent, but his heart is full of hope that is different from other prisoners, hope for freedom. And I, although I am in prison, because I have this movie, I am not decadent, but try to find my own way of salvation......"

Liang Jiahui talked eloquently, not at all like a prisoner who had just been released from prison, and the reporter was also taking pictures, shuttering sounds, and taking notes.

That night, Wang Shang and others made a reception banquet for Liang Jiahui, and at this time, the news of Liang Jiahui's release from prison outside was already known throughout the country, and many entertainment headlines reported it, and Liang Jiahui's remarks on 'social responsibility' and 'legal spirit' became the headlines of many reports.

This also saved Liang Jiahui a lot of reputation.

And from Liang Jiahui's mouth, I also got part of the plot of "The Shawshank Redemption" for the first time, according to Liang Jiahui, "The Shawshank Redemption" is a story of a prisoner seeking redemption in prison.

Two days after Liang Jiahui was reunited with his family, he went directly to Cangshan Prison in Sichuan to officially start his 'Shawshank' prison journey.

October 1, 2014, Chinese National Day.

Datang International's "Mecha Knight" has been fully rolled out and released in China, which is the fifth IMAX-3D movie and has been widely praised after its release.

And "The Vampire Count" was the last to be released in Europe the day before yesterday, with a box office of $1.48 billion, although it did not exceed the $1.5 billion mark, but it was enough to excite its production company and a flagging European film industry.

In addition, because of the foreshadowing of the first two films, "Lord of the Rings 3" was released very violently, and the box office in the first ten days exceeded the box office of "The Avengers" by $80 million in the first ten days. The Hollywood Reporter in North America optimistically predicts that its total box office should reach $1.7 billion, which is definitely a furious money-making machine.

The big hit of the movie naturally brought about the hot sales of peripheral products, which was no worse than "The Avengers".

At this time, Disney once again got the script of "The Avengers - The Age of Ultron" from Wang Shang, and has begun to announce that filming will start soon, and it is expected to officially meet all "Avengers" fans in mid-2016. Naturally, this news made many fans like it.

The good news for North American films has further stimulated the North American film industry and made it more prosperous.

Compared with the film industry in North America, China and the European Union are far behind, and more and more people are beginning to seek to counter the cultural aggression of North American film industry.

On the Huaxia side, Wang Shangxin already had a preliminary plan in his heart when IMAX technical negotiations were held on the day of the last "The Shawshank Redemption".

————————————

At the end of October, in Cangshan Prison, the crew was setting up some props on the roof of the prison.

Asphalt, mop, tobacco, alcohol......

The next thing to be filmed is the scene of the laborers on the roof. In this scene, the main character, Shawshank, overhears the prison officer talking about property inheritance, wills, and paying taxes. Shawshank said that he had a way to get the prison officer to legally exempt him from the large tax, and after an initial struggle, the prison officer finally believed Shawshank's statement and agreed to entrust Shawshank to help him handle the tax exemption. In exchange, Shawshank and the prisoners he worked with were each given three bottles of beer.

This scene is the first turning point in Shawshank's life, from a lowly, unhumanized, and dispensable prisoner, to a 'useful person', and begins to affect the development of the whole movie.

This is a very crucial scene.

The props were soon ready, and filming began soon.

The sun was high and the sun was scorching, and all the prisoners working on the roof could feel the hot weather and sweat. The clothes worn by the prisoners were specially made vests, and under the scorching sun, the bronzed skin with makeup oozed thick sweat.

However, instead of making the inmates feel painful, they felt very excited, because it was a rare opportunity to look out beyond the prison, which was a hard-won opportunity and cherished.

And this group of actors are all excellent actors, so they naturally show that kind of anticipation and excitement very well.

But soon Wang Shang shouted to rest, because Liang Jiahui made a suggestion to Wang Shang.

"Wait a minute, I think it's best to shoot the sunset, imagine the prisoner sitting on the roof, drinking cold beer, enjoying the cool autumn breeze, looking up at the sunset in the distance, isn't it great?" Liang Jiahui opened his arms, as if enjoying the scene in the context.

"Not bad! This proposal. Wang Shang thought for a while and nodded, "Then let's rest first." ”

Sichuan is notoriously hot, and there is still a heat wave in September, so the crew rolled downstairs to enjoy the air conditioning, waiting for the sunset.

"On this hot summer day, a group of criminals who are decorating on the rooftops, under the morning glow, in the breeze, enjoying a cool beer and the tightest protection of the prison, something that has never happened in a prison."

"We're sitting here, drinking beer, in the sun, looking out into the wilderness, and at this moment, we feel like we're free people, we feel like we're renovating our own roof, we're like the Creator."

"Shawshank, this moment was a little different, with a strange smile on his face as he watched us drink his beer. ……”

Jiang Ruide (Chen Daoming), as the main voiceover of the movie, is changing the voiceover lines on the roof at this time, and it is no longer spring, no longer a factory.

After reading the rooftop lines in that charismatic voice, he asked everyone, "How is this line?" Do you feel it? ”

"That's good, but you can change it again, well, the tone is a bit problematic, try to slow down a bit." It was quickly pointed out.

The group also became interested and began to discuss the lines, which was very lively.

Liang Jiahui sat next to Wang Shang and said, "Director Wang, I like the lines of this movie very much, really." ”

"The walls in the prison are really funny, at first you hate it, then you get used to it. After a while, you will become dependent on it again. ”

"I have to remind myself that some birds can't be kept in cages, their feathers are so beautiful, when they fly away, you think it's a sin to keep them in, but when they're not there you feel lonely, but I just miss my friends......"

Liang Jiahui shook his head and read two sentences in distraction, and then said softly: "I like these words very much......." rs
