Chapter 362: The Shinjuku Incident

Although Jiang Bai himself didn't go to school much, and his education was only in high school, Jiang Bai, the traverser, still had a strong learning ability, otherwise he wouldn't have learned those various skills in the first place.

And Jiang Bai's method of learning Japanese is also very efficient, that is, talking to Keiko Kitagawa or Satomi Ishihara on the phone.

Just like a foreign teacher in school, chatting with native speakers in these languages will definitely make faster progress than learning them yourself.

After picking up all the things he had learned before, Jiang Bai also packed up his things and came to Xiangjiang.

When the time comes, they're going to Neon together.

The vanguard of the crew is already ready over there, and now they are just waiting for the actors and directors to be in place.

However, when they arrived by plane, they found that many people had already gotten the news and were greeted at the airport.

Jiang Bai took a look and found that most of the people who picked up the airport here, except for some international students, were neon people.

They each held signs of Cheng Long and Jiang Bai, and screamed again and again when they saw the two appear.

It's fanatical.

"The popularity of the two of you in Neon is very high, and it was very troublesome for us to go outside to film and apply for various procedures, but when I asked people to come over to apply for the procedures this time, they saw that there were two of you in the leading role, and all the projects were approved happily, including the casting, and many people volunteered to join the crew."

Jiang Bai looked at the yellow hairs outside and the girls in student uniforms, he was still in a good mood, it was better to let these foreigners worship than to blindly worship foreigners by his own people.

"Then are we going to show this drama here?"

"Of course, our film is mainly aimed at the Asian market, so Asian countries are going to be released, such as Malaysia, Thailand, and stick countries."

"Well, that's pretty good, let's make some more Neon Man money then."

"Don't worry, how much money we spent here, we will double it in the future." Er Dongsheng said with a smile.

Then they stayed in the hotel.

After a two-day break, the film started shooting.

Although the characters in this movie are all fictional, every force in it is a real event from the neon Chinese society.

This time, they came from China together, except for Cheng Long and Jiang Bai, they were basically acquaintances.

Fan Jue has worked together before, and Xu Jinlei has never worked together, but she has seen it, after all, Jiang Wen made a movie directed and acted by Xu Jinlei herself in the 5 years that he was banned from being a director.

I also won a prize abroad.

Therefore, when Jiang Wen was in the company, Xu Jinlei also came to visit the door, chatted with Jiang Bai for a few words, and also said that he would cooperate in the future, but there was no chance before.

In addition, Lin Xue is an old supporting actor in Xiangjiang movies, but all the actors who can be named here in Xiangjiang have worked with them.

followed by Lian Jin, the other party is also an actor from Xiangjiang, TVB was born, and won awards here in the early years, although I haven't seen it before, but I heard Liu Dehua say it.

At the same time, Gao Jie also came.

Gao Jie and Jiang Bai are more familiar, because Gao Jie has filmed Ning Hao's movie Crazy Racing before, playing a gangster in it, and he also used the ashes of Master Geng Hao in the movie as white powder to wipe his teeth.

Jiang Bai laughed when he saw this paragraph.

In addition, there are some actors on the neon side, and the starring role of neon is two people, one plays the policeman and the other plays the gangster.

Speaking before the start of filming, Er Dongsheng also said that he had conceived the film for 10 years.

The script also went back and forth for three years.

It's just that Jiang Bai couldn't help pouting after hearing this, although the script of this movie is good, it will definitely not take so long, and today's directors like to imitate ancient wars when making movies.

Either it is claimed to be an investment of 300 million, or it is claimed to be preparing for half a lifetime.

Everyone has been preparing for so long, but in fact, they may have had such an idea many years ago, and then they have remembered to shoot it again in recent years.

And the reason why Jiang Bai agreed to shoot is because the subject matter is good, and on the other hand, it is also because this movie is shot more realistically, because after reading the script, Jiang Bai called Er Dongsheng, and Er Dongsheng said that the plot written in the script will be filmed at that time, and they will not delete and modify it for other reasons, even if it is changed, it will be changed more black and deep.

In this way, with the start of the movie, they also began to get busy, because the cost of filming outside was relatively large, so they were in a hurry, but this time the filming was all old actors, so the progress did not fall behind.

The only thing that will affect their efficiency during filming is that the neon actors don't speak Chinese well, so it is more difficult to communicate.

The story in the movie takes place in the 90s, according to Er Dongsheng, between 1997-1998, Cheng Long's Northeast rural tractor worker Tietou risked his danger to smuggle to Japan to find his girlfriend Xiuxiu here, because after Xiuxiu went to Neon to make money, there was no contact, and even Ajie, a fellow villager who was far away, couldn't find the whereabouts of shame.

Xiuxiu is played by Xu Jinlei.

It's just that. What Iron Head doesn't know is that Xiuxiu has changed her name to Yuko here.

After arriving, Tietou didn't find Xiuxiu, so he took refuge with his friend Ajie, who was also here, Jiang Bai.

Living in a dilapidated house with other stowaways, living in such a developed society, living a low-class life is extremely hard every day.

The job is also cleaning up garbage in the garbage dump, and the salary is meager.

This is also one of the few options for these stowaways.

But Jiang Bai feels that the background of this part is still a bit unrealistic, because normally the 90s of Neon are experiencing the consequences of the financial crisis, and the economic development is almost stagnant, although there is also development in 97 to 98, but on the whole it is still very poor.

But the script is written like this, and they can only follow the script to shoot.

Later, because they rescued a worker who also came from the smuggling party, the other party introduced them to a job with a slightly higher salary.

That is, to clean up the silt in the sewers.

But even so, this salary is still difficult to keep up with the speed of inflation, so their lives are very difficult.

But just when the iron head was about to give up looking for Xiuxiu, he suddenly saw the other party.

It's just that Xiuxiu has changed her name to Yuko at this time.

Now he is the wife of the neon gang triad president Toshinari Eguchi, so he decided to settle down here, and he also met Lili who was a mother from a nightclub.

And the actor who plays Lili is Fan Jue.

Jiang Bai actually feels that Xu Jinlei and Fan Jue are actually quite suitable for this kind of role.

And Fan Jue is especially so, because Fan Jue is really good-looking and charming, so it will be a little strange to let her play the role of those women from good families, like this person who looks like no matter how she dresses up, it doesn't look like the image of a village woman she wants to present in the same movie.

In other words, the drama is not so deep.

Unlike Zhang Ziyi, she looks high-end with high-end makeup, and she looks like a village woman with local makeup.

Because of their smuggling status, they can't get a legitimate career even if they want to change their lives, so Iron Head convinces Applejack to do something illegal and try to learn Japanese just to fit in.

Since doing this, their lives have started to change for the better, and they also have a bunch of obedient brothers under them.

Recently, Iron Head has been targeting the small steel ball game machines that are everywhere on the streets.

This is also the latest thing to rise in the past ten years, people are overwhelmed by life, so they go to play small steel balls, all fantasizing that they can make a fortune with small steel balls, but in the end they often lose their money.

At the same time, these small steel ball machines are controlled by gangsters, so they don't dare to make trouble.

The specific operation method of the iron head is to install a chip on these gambling machines to increase the odds of winning.

Usually, Applejack pretends to sell sugar, fried chestnuts, and then looks out for the wind.

But on this day, when his companion was going to the bathroom, Ajie was asked to help watch the machine, but was caught by Gao Jie, the boss of the Tainan Gang, who had already discovered the clue.

The Tainan Gang is also a Chinese gang here, but they are all from Taiwan Province.

Applejack is disfigured, and her hand is stuck in the hot sand of the sugar-fried chestnut pot, and finally her hand is cut off with a shovel by the Tainan Gang.

And that's where Applejack transforms.

Applejack in the beginning does the simplest job here.

Later, after becoming a gangster, he was also very timid, so that he could only do some work such as looking at the wind.

However, since the iron head is the boss, Applejack naturally mixes well here, but since Applejack's palm was cut off this time, his mentality has changed.

The little brother who went to the toilet ran away when he saw this, and went back to inform the iron head.

But the people of the Tainan Gang are all with guys, and they can only retreat.

Later, Iron Head wants to help Applejack get revenge, and then happens to find out that the other party wants to kill Eguchi, so he saves Eguchi.

As for Eguchi.

Although he knew that his wife and Iron Head were old lovers, he still admired Iron Head very much, and said that if Iron Head could help him kill the president of the triad, Eguchi would get him a neon ID card and give him the territory of the Tainan Gang.

Tietou now wants to stay here and develop, so he immediately agreed to this condition.

Successfully killed the president of the triad, but the iron head was also tired of this life, and after getting his ID card, he planned to leave here with Lili and go to other places to do business.

And those little brothers and the territory of the Tainan Gang were given to Applejack by the iron head.

It's just that the peaceful life of the iron head didn't last long, and he was found by the police who had saved his life.

The other party tells Iron Head that Applejack has committed many serious crimes during this time, and since becoming crippled, he has changed from cowardice to bold and fierce.

The methods are quite cruel, so the police have set up a file on the side, which is the Shinjuku incident.

to investigate the criminal records of the Chinese and consider the gang that used to be with the iron heads as the largest Chinese criminal organization in Neon.

Iron Head himself still has some connections, and after finding out the truth, he decides to cooperate with Kitano, and he wants all his brothers to turn back.

It's just that when he came to the territory of the South Gang from the front desk with the policeman Kitano, many people thought that Iron Head was going to betray his brothers, and at this time, Eguchi wanted to become the leader of the neon gang, so he also wanted to kill Kitano and Iron Head, who had mastered his integrity.

At the same time, another force hijacked Xiuxiu because they wanted to use it to blackmail Eguchi.

Gao Jie also brought a group of killers over, intending to kill Jiangkou.

And now Applejack is very good, because Eguchi fancied and let Applejack be in charge of recruiting, so now Applejack has the most younger brothers.

But the police had already entered the house, and the killers were blocking outside, so the scene became chaotic for a while.

Eguchi tried to escape through the window after turning off the lights, but was shot by a hostile force that had been waiting outside.

Finally, when he was dying, he gave the USB flash drive full of all the evidence of the crime to the iron head.

At the same time, Applejack picks up a pistol and tries to get out of the doorway, only to find that Gao Jie has already been guarding here with someone.

Seeing Gao Jie, Applejack's fear came back to him, he was disfigured by this man and cut off his hand.

So he was so frightened that he fired several shots at the door, and then fled.

But he was also slaughtered and cut off in the abdomen in the dark.

After escaping, Ironhead goes to an old warehouse, where he meets Applejack, who leans against the wall and says to Ironhead, "I'm still that coward." ”

And then finished.

The cause of death was that the abdomen was opened, there was too much blood loss, and the intestines were all flowing out.

Tietou called Xiuxiu and asked Xiuxiu to take the child to the station to wait for him, because he didn't know that Xiuxiu had been controlled by the gangsters, so Xiuxiu said the hiding address of the iron head over there, and the gangsters rushed to hear the news, and on the way to escape, although Kitano arrived in time to rescue him, but Tietou was still shot.

It was in the same stinky sewer where they had dug in the mud, and this time it was the turn of the iron head to lie in the water.

When the iron head handed over the USB flash drive to Kitano, he floated away along the sewer.

Finally, the corpse floated silently in Tokyo Bay.

This is the end of the whole play.

During the shooting, Jiang Bai and Cheng Long were very enjoyable, because they both tried a new image and character design.

Jiang Bai plays Ajie, who goes from cowardly to cruel and ferocious, and finally reveals his true nature.

And after becoming the boss of many younger brothers, he wore an exaggerated explosive head on his head, and his wig face was also a non-mainstream gangster makeup, and his lips were all black.

Cheng Long's change is more thorough, he has no kung fu in this play, and he also plays the role of a gangster, and he even took Ajie into the water at the beginning.

Including the last dead bodies, floating in Tokyo Bay is even more limitless.

"Alas, I acted in too many action scenes at the beginning, and now I always feel a little tired of it, and I want to try such a role." Cheng Long said with a smile, "Actually, I want to play more profound roles in the future, but now that I'm older, I can't shoot a lot of shots." ”

"Alas, Brother Long, in fact, you should have taken this path a long time ago, last year Brother Jiejie and I also made a movie, and he said the same thing at the time, action scenes are filmed and filmed, in fact, those are the ones that have more possibilities for literary dramas."

"Well, so I'm actually very envious of you, I found out about this early." Cheng Long said to Jiang Bai.

After filming, Jiang Bai first returned to China to rest for a few days, but at the same time, he had another worry, that is, many scenes in this movie are particularly bloody, including Ajie played by himself who was inserted into a hot sugar fried chestnut pot by Gao Jie's thugs, and then disfigured and cut off his hand.

Including when he was in the scuffle, he was slashed in the abdomen, and a bloody intestine flowed out.

There is a good chance that these shots will not pass the trial.

Er Dongsheng can naturally cut out the last shot of killing the wolf like Ye Weixin did at the beginning, but every director has the style of each director, and in the previous contact, Jiang Bai felt that it was unlikely that Er Dongsheng would do this. (End of chapter)
