From collapsed house idol to entertainment superstar

Stanley Prison, 99 Tung Tau Wan Road, Stanley, Hong Kong Island.

Most viewers who are familiar with Hong Kong films will probably be familiar with this place.

Generally speaking, Hong Kong police dramas cannot lose Stanley, just as the West cannot lose Jerusalem.

So many people even think that there is only one prison in Stanley on the entire Hong Kong Island.

But in fact, it is just one of the 28 correctional facilities on Hong Kong Island, and there are even 6 maximum security prisons of the same level.

However, this prison, which has been mentioned in countless excellent Hong Kong films, has now become a "check-in place for Internet celebrities" to a certain extent.

Of course, ordinary tourists will definitely not be able to enter. At most, they can only "look up" around.

Stanley Prison, as one of the important filming locations in Hong Kong films, welcomed the crew of "The Intouchables" today.

Speaking of which, the annual output of Hong Kong films has dropped from about 200 films more than ten or twenty years ago to about 50 films today.

The police and gangster genre, which is the magic weapon for Hong Kong movies, seems to have become less popular in recent years.

No wonder Zhang Wenqiang once encountered an "investment shortage" when filming "Wu Shuang".

Well, there isn't much money to be made in the market, and the investment is so large, anyone who chooses to do so must consider it carefully.

In the past two years, the prison-related scenes have been relatively out of the ordinary. They probably have to be traced back to Zhang Jicong's sentence in the "Anti-Corruption" series a few years ago, "Prison is the only way out for young people in Hong Kong."

.

Well, if you have the conditions, you can take the picture above.

...

"Props! Give me a new piece of cloth in the east corner!"

"And that bitch! Are you asleep? The person next to you slapped him awake! Who is this!"

"Master Deng, you followed Director Ding's instructions, right? Okay!"

"Hey, hey! Who put that rope there? Move it away for me quickly! Xiao Li! Yes! I'm telling you, be smart, brother!"

The assistant director was shouting and shouting with a big loudspeaker.

The assistant director's surname was Chen, and Ding Zhi asked Bona to find him for him.

Name...name is not important.

Anyway, if you are unlucky, you may not be able to see him in the next movie.

However, Assistant Director Chen obviously did not have such awareness and seemed a little excited.

If the assistant director has a circle, then in recent years, the one who is more envied by people in this circle is probably called Cai Wen.

He was the assistant director, and he ended up being the director of "The Tuner" for no apparent reason.

Then at the upcoming Golden Bear Awards, Cai Wen was also nominated for Best New Director for "The Tuner".

The reformed Golden Bear Awards has deleted some awards and added some new awards. Best New Director is a new addition.

In fact, according to common sense, Ding Zhi should have been shortlisted for this award, but "The God of Medicine" was too explosive, so Ding Zhi was directly shortlisted for the best director.

But now, the assistant director next to Ding Zhi has become assistant director Chen himself, which can't help but make him have some thoughts.

Thighs, this is it!

Holding this thigh tightly, not to mention flying or ascending, at least leaking a little bit in Dingzhi can make him full.

Therefore, he appeared to be extremely active on the set.

"Director Ding! Everything is ready and can start at any time!"

I saw that the scene covered by the camera was a scene in the canteen of the prison.

Ding Zhi, who had shaved his hair green and was wearing prison uniform, nodded and raised his thumb to the assistant director, indicating that filming was ready to begin.

"Attention all units! A!"

...

...

In the camera, the surrounding actors playing prisoners suddenly entered a state of extreme movement from silence.

There are those who make loud noises and brag, those who stand by and curse as if no one else is around, and those who are timid and afraid of getting into trouble and huddle together.

"That guy jumped on the street! If Sir hadn't been blowing his cock just now, I would have smashed his cock!"

"Pick that star! Which pretty boy have you chosen? Doesn't he have to sing the song "Chrysanthemums" tonight? Hahahaha!"

"Demon! Fat old guy! Be careful, you want to grab someone's sex bag again like last time, but you end up going directly to the infirmary!"

Halfway through his words, the person who said this was glared back by Fat Laoji with a vicious look, which obviously touched his pain point.

"Wow! Fatty Ji, you are so scary! If you can, don't get mad at me! You went to fight Snake Ming, you idiot!"

"It's OK! It's OK! If you're brave enough, I'll fight with Snake Ming (one-on-one)! If you don't take revenge, I will be released from prison at the end of the term!"

Fei Laoji took a deep breath and looked at one place involuntarily, his eyes flickering slightly.

As if sensing something, Snake Ming, played by Ding Zhi, raised his head and looked at him.

It was just right here, and the photographer outside the venue quickly pulled the lens in and gave a close-up.

When their eyes met, Fei Laoji immediately turned his head back as if he was set on fire. He also accidentally pushed the dinner plate on the table, and all the soup and juice on it spilled to the side.

of people.

"I'm sorry! Brother Ji! I was careless! I was careless. It was my fault!"

The boy next to him quickly took the blame on himself.

However, this failed to extinguish Fei Laoji's unknown fire.

I don't know if this inexplicable anger is really the fault of this innocent boy, or if he secretly hates himself for being afraid of the Snake Ming not far away.

Although he yelled so fiercely just now, in fact, when She Zai Ming first went to prison, he named She Zai Ming, a "boy" with good looks and a great figure, to go to the bathhouse at night.

"Sleeping".

Who would have thought that this pretty boy, Snake Ming, would actually be obedient and go to the appointment.

Then more than half an hour passed like this.

The younger brother who was showing off to the fat old man was still sighing, "Brother Ji's physical strength has really gotten better and better recently."

It wasn't until things got worse and worse that the two boys walked in and saw Fat Lao Ji biting his own underwear, lying on the floor covered in blood and injuries, with a bloody sewer manhole cover next to him.

, Snake Zai has disappeared long ago.

The scalding hot water poured directly from the shower head on his white belly, burning it red...

"Pah!" With a sound, Fat Laoji slapped the young man directly in the face with his big ass.

"Good-for-nothing!"

For a moment, I didn’t know who I was scolding.

However, this one was as fearful as a tiger, and the other one was actually just an ordinary glance from Ding Zhi. It is not even clear whether Fei Laoji was noticed in his eyes.

He held the lunch box in his hand and chose a place where there was no one around.

In the crowded prison cafeteria, this was obviously unusual.

The only person in that position was a young man with a bruised nose and face, who was obviously the "new prey" in Mr. Ji's eyes just now.

"Is there anyone here?"

"Ah? Ah! No! No!"

Ding Zhi sat down but didn't say another word.

He just lowered his head and started eating.

From the opening to the present, the photographer is carrying a handheld camera and moving the shots along with the dialogue and character relationships. When it is edited in the post-production, it will almost look like a pseudo-long shot.

But now, the camera is focused on the table between Ding Zhi and this pretty boy. To be precise, it is focused on the character She Zaiming.

In fact, the food in prison is not rich. For example, the dishes on their dinner plates are only "edible" for ordinary people.

White rice, boiled cabbage, diced oil star seeds, pickles, and a few pieces of "pork" that looked like mouse meat and tasted more like flour made up their "nutritious and rich" lunch.

I saw She Zaiming staring at the dinner plate, licking his lips, using an extremely awkward angle to hold the spoon, stuffing a large mouthful of rice into his mouth, pursed his lips hard, and then scraped the spoon out hard

, seemed reluctant to let even a grain of rice leave his mouth.

The pretty boy opposite who was chewing these somewhat unpalatable meals was stunned for a moment, looking at She Zai Ming across from him in a daze.

If nothing else, it is She Zaiming's posture as if he is tasting some delicacy that really attracts attention.

She Zaiming ignored it. To be precise, his eyes never left the plate in his hand for even a second after starting the meal.

He devoured it as if he were trying to eat a human being, but he was careful not to miss a grain of rice.

The pretty boy looked at the way She Zaiming was eating, swallowed, and slightly raised his head in confusion, as if he wanted to see something special about the other person's food.

Obviously! This is the first thought that comes to everyone’s mind when they see Ding Zhi eating like this, that is - this isn’t the same type of rice that I’m eating, right?

But exactly the same.

The pretty boy thought that not to mention seeing the gravy on She Zaiming's portion of rice, even You Xingzi didn't have a little more than the portion of rice in his hand.

And in this short period of time when the pretty boy was doubting his life, all that heavy plate of food had been wiped out by the wind and waves.

Then I saw Snake Ming even stretching out his fingers to scrape the rice grains on the dinner plate, then twisting them up and putting them into his mouth.

He ate too quickly just now, and the grains of rice stuck to the corner of his mouth and stained on his clothes were carefully twisted up and eaten by him.

At this time, he poured a bowl of soup on the dinner plate, hesitated for a moment, and finally raised his head and asked the pretty boy.

"Soup, do you want to drink it?"

He pointed at the regular soup delivered to the pretty boy for lunch.

This is said to be a soup, but in fact it is no different from water. It is probably just beating an egg into a large pot of soup and sprinkling a spoonful of salt.

"Oh? Ah? No, I want it for you!"

The pretty boy seemed a little frightened, and then he came back to his senses and quickly agreed.

"Thanks."

She Zaiming reached out and took it with a steady hand. He poured the same bowl of soup that was like boiled water into the lunch box and swung it around.

Under the lens and lighting, it is obvious that there is some oil splash.

Snake Zaiming raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.

The pretty boy was dumbfounded. In fact, he barely ate a few bites of food during the entire noon, and spent the whole time looking at Snake Mingming opposite him.

He lowered his head and looked at the rice which he had only taken a few bites of.

How come something that tastes like chewing gum to oneself tastes like a delicacy in the world in other people’s mouths?

Then he looked up at She Zaiming who was wiping his mouth, but saw that his attention was attracted by something on the table.

He took a closer look and saw that a piece of uncooked rice appeared in the gap of the old canteen table. He didn't know when or why.

When he saw Ding Zhi lowering his head, staring at the "innocent" rice, he stretched out his fingers to try to dig it out.

However, once and twice, all failed.

In desperation, he suddenly raised his hand and slapped it behind the table!

"Bang!"

The loud noise not only startled the pretty boy who was close to Chi Chi, but also caused the surrounding inmates to turn around involuntarily.

Snake Zaiming ignored anyone and gently picked up the uncooked rice. His eyes stayed on it for a moment, then he put it into his mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it with his throat squirming.

The pretty boy also swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

At first, he thought the other person was the reincarnation of a starving ghost, but then he discovered that he seemed to be able to eat a whole person, licking the dinner plate as if it were new, which inexplicably frightened him.

At the end, when I saw Snake Ming’s expression as he picked up a piece of rice and put it in his mouth.

The pretty boy saw only four words, "almost pious."

Yes, he could finally think of a word to describe the person in front of him.

The other party's attitude towards rice and food that satisfies the stomach can be described with the word "pious".

Ding Zhi walked away.

Next to him, a thin man with a row of yellow teeth came over.

"Hey! Pretty boy! You hit the jackpot! If Brother Ming drinks a bowl of soup from you, Fat Laoji will never be able to bully you again!"

"Ah? Is that so?"

The pretty boy only realized this in hindsight. Just now, he had never thought about how lucky he was to be sharing the same table with a "big brother in a cell".

Then he hesitated for a moment, "Well... Brother Ming, does he always eat like this?"

"Hahaha! You must have been shocked too! When he came here, everyone was also shocked by the way he looked like he was worshiping gods while eating! Then he got used to it. Not to mention, sometimes

Watching Brother Ming eat, didn’t you notice that everyone around us is eating very deliciously?”

"Why is this? Oh, Brother Ming, he actually smuggled over from the mainland. There was a great famine in the mainland twenty years ago. He was born at that time. It is said that he grew up hungry."

...

...

"Card!"

When Ding Zhi came into the frame, it was obviously assistant director Chen who was controlling the progress of the filming.

This opening scene is difficult to say. After all, even those extras are familiar with "prison scenes".

It's also like playing "Fat Lao Ji", "Little Pretty Boy", and "Yellow Teeth". In fact, they are all supporting roles created by TVB. They are all very skilled in terms of line skills and camera sense.

But it’s not easy to say simple.

Because this scene was about the appearance of the protagonist "She Zaiming".

It is different from the original version where one skin color is directly applied and most of the contradictions are left there.

After all, racial conflicts and the gap between rich and poor (non-discrimination, generally speaking, black is roughly equal to poor) are invisible settings.

The Hong Kong version is different. A single "Mainland boy" is more likely to become the illusion of a "provincial Hong Kong flag soldier".

The seat requires some details to build a thick character from scratch.

And Ding Zhi’s solution is also very simple.

One word, "eat".

Use food to "meet" people.

A poor man who was able to beat the prison bully into obedience and was full of piety towards food. Such a vivid and three-dimensional person came out of the thin script in just one scene.

(I still owe one more update, but I really can’t bear it anymore. I am typing with my eyes half-closed now, so I owe you first.)
