"Director, why don't you set off yet?"

After breakfast, Menjie and Yang Mi walked out of the hotel room together, and in the lobby of the hotel, they found that not only Zhou Xingchi, but also Liang Xiaolong, Yuan Qiu, Yuan Hua and others were all waiting in place, and they didn't go to the crew, so they couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Because most of the crew of "Kung Fu" did not have even one person's home in Shanghai, so the crew paid for it and arranged for everyone to be stationed in the hotel where Menjie and others were, and at the request of Yang Mi, they lived in the opposite house with Menjie......

"I won't go to the film and television base today, but I'll shoot in other places instead!" Zhou Xingchi whispered, then he didn't say more, but waited quietly, the doorman on the side nodded, and there was nothing more, and Yang Mi also waited with peace of mind.

Although there is no scene between the two of them today, it is also a road for everyone to go to the new filming location with the crew, and it is not a place to shoot by yourself.

After a while, Zhou Xingchi's mobile phone rang, answered a call, and after a few words, he turned his head to Menjie and the others, "It's all arranged, let's go!" ”

With Zhou Xingchi's order, everyone present followed behind Zhou Xingchi and sat in the car, and the entire crew quickly headed towards the destination.

In the next period of time, Menjie and others will temporarily leave Shanghai Film and Television City, leave the town, and go to the center of Shanghai.

According to Zhou Xingchi's method, "Kung Fu" needs to have a sign xìng building similar to the style of the era at that time, although it is not impossible to spend money to build a temporary xìng building, but in this way, the cost of the film will undoubtedly increase!

In order to save costs, in the end, the crew chose to find this building in the mainland, and spent a small amount of money to rent this building for a period of time.

With the name of Zhou Xingchi and Huayi Brothers' connections in the industry, there will definitely be no nail households who want to raise prices.

Even if there is, it can easily become nothing!

As the crew's cars were speeding away, Menjie and the others finally came to the building in Zhou Xingchi's mouth not far away, looking at the building opposite from a distance, Menjie actually had a wonderful feeling of going back to a hundred years ago.

Such a building is definitely a hundred years old!

After getting off the car and standing on Longchang Road, Menjie and others can see a row of the most ordinary old-fashioned public houses, dilapidated green walls, messy air conditioners hanging up, five-story buildings surrounding the compound, the yard is extremely spacious, and each floor of the building is connected by a long public corridor, such as an oval runway, and behind the corridor is a large and different room like a birdcage.

Even if he is far away from the building, he can imagine the feeling of standing in the courtyard and looking up at the sky - definitely like a frog sitting in a well and watching the sky, like a frog sticking out of the ancient Roman Colosseum!

This is the most impressive building in the "Kung Fu" film - the slum!

Of course, the slums in the film have a lot of origins in reality!

This apartment was built in the twenties and thirties of the last century, the first part of the public concession patrol house, after the liberation, the south side of the patrol house became the office of the Yangpu District Public Security Bureau, and the apartment became a dormitory for workers, and later more and more ordinary residents lived in it.

Originally designed by a British, this apartment has a history of nearly 100 years and is now a listed building in Shanghai!

In order to be able to rent this apartment completely, the crew has worked hard, and the items after renting are placed as close as possible to the era in the film, which is also not a simple job, finally, everything was handled last night, and the crew of the crew pulled the jǐng cordon around during the day today, and invited a large number of people from the security company to come over to help prevent some reporters and fans from entering, and now they can officially come in and film!

Around the apartment, the Kung Fu crew had already said hello to the local officials, and wanted to pull a jǐng cord, which was relatively wide, and even included many shops in the surrounding area, and in order to compensate for the losses of these stores, the crew even compensated a lot of money.

Men Jie also heard before, in order to appease these shops and residents who have no way to do business because of the crew's filming, and who live here, if they move out of Lu and have no place to live, Zhou Xingchi can be said to be very troubled, in so many days, Menjie and others returned to the hotel to rest after filming, and Zhou Xingchi followed the staff to appease those who did not succeed, very tired!

"It's really complicated enough, I'll still be an actor honestly in the future, I can't be a director at all, I'm too tired!" Sighing slightly, after Menjie strengthened his belief that he would be an actor and singer honestly, he got back into the car and followed the crew into the apartment quickly.

Of course, in the eyes of actors such as Menjie, it is not an apartment, but a prop, a slum.

At this time, there are already many residents who have walked by to stop and watch, wanting to know who is so generous in Ludao, and they have wrapped up the entire apartment, and they have pulled such a large range of jǐng cords, Menjie and others ignored the crowd around them, and took the car from the only entrance and exit, and entered the gate with the number of "Lane 362 of Longchang Road".

Because this apartment is a whole, there is only one entrance to enter, so it is easier to avoid the jǐng ring, except for the fact that there are certain security personnel guarding the jǐng ring line, the entrance and exit position has the handle of a full eight security personnel, except for the members of the crew, no one can enter.

It is very simple for Menjie and others to come in, and every security guard has photos of all the actors and staff of the crew, which can be identified after a little verification.

Easily passed through the two lines of defense guarded by layers, Menjie and the others finally entered the apartment, scanning the surrounding environment, everyone did have a feeling of being in the ancient Roman Colosseum, surrounded by towering buildings, simple and simple, giving people a strange shock.

But when you look at it closely, it makes people feel a little speechless.

Probably because it was originally a patrol room, it has not been repaired for so many years, and the iron windows set up to hold prisoners back then can still be found today.

After getting Zhou Xingchi's will, they quickly rushed into the building to find out, walking on the corridor of the apartment, listening to the echo of 'da-da' under their feet, there is indeed a special feeling in their hearts.

If he weren't an actor, I'm afraid Menjie would never come to this kind of place in his life, right?

The aisle on each floor of the apartment is extremely spacious, like a school and a barracks-style building, more than enough for four people in parallel, but with more and more residents moving in, more than ten square meters live in a household, put a table, a bed and a chest of drawers It is difficult to have room for activity, it seems very narrow, and Menjie and others can vaguely understand how difficult the life of the people living here is.

Because the space of the private bedroom is very narrow, almost every household has pressed the faucet, vegetable cutting table, and even the stove on the aisle, in order to perfectly present the feeling of that era, each household has a bamboo pole inserted in the window, on which are hung with single, shabby clothes, as if someone really lived.

Even in the windows of individual households, there are foods such as garlic and bacon, which looks very life-like!

"This place is really magical!" Looking around, Menjie couldn't help but admire, Yang Mi on the side was too old, not much knowledge, and not much about life, so he only felt that this place was very, very broken, and he didn't have too many feelings.

"Yes, I estimate that the people who lived here in that era, every family should be very harmonious, and the relationship between neighbors is very good, unlike now, people who live on the other side can't call each other's names, although life is good, but the neighbors are also divided!" As a post-70s Lin Tsaicong, like Menjie, he has worked hard in society for many years, and he is also impressed.

Listening to Lin Tsaicong's words, Menjie also seemed to imagine the situation and scene here a hundred years ago.

When night falls, every family has completed a hard day's work, the apartment is still brightly lit, the sound of Ding Ding as dinner fills the whole courtyard, after dinner, the residents who have been busy for a day begin to leisure life, the neighbors next door hum songs loudly, the noise of the opposite two people, the crying of children, the sound of old people playing mahjong......

What a peaceful life this is!

Suddenly thinking about something, Menjie couldn't help grinning, "I also yearn for life here, but compared to this peaceful and indisputable life, I still don't want to starve, so ...... I'm going to live my life honestly! ”

"That's right!" Lin Tsaicong also nodded slightly, "We have adapted to the current life, although we are tired every day, but we are better than fulfillment, and we are rich, if we change our lives, we really can't adapt to it!" ”

After a month of filming, in addition to Yang Mi, only Menjie and Lin Tsaicong in the entire crew have similar views and values, and they are not from actors' professional backgrounds, but they have become actors all the way, although they are nearly ten years apart, they also have a common language, and now the favorability of the two has reached the level of 'friendship'.

At this time, Lin Tsaicong, like Su Youpeng and Gao Yuanyuan, can be regarded as Menjie's friends, and naturally he didn't have too much estimation when he spoke, and he really thought out what he really thought in his heart.

If you are an unfamiliar and more contrived star, I am afraid that you will go against your will to say "If possible, I am willing to give up everything I have and live such a life in my old age".

From thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift, Menjie doesn't believe that a person who is used to being extravagant, high-profile, and prosperous and wealthy will go to eat chaff when he is old.

"Lin Tsaicong, where did you go! Why don't you hurry up and come back to me to film! ”

When Menjie and the two were chatting, they forgot the time, and Zhou Xingchi, who was a little impatient in the courtyard of the apartment, roared violently, startling Lin Zicong next to Menjie, and didn't bother to pay attention to Menjie, and quickly sprinted downstairs.
