Dreams of the Fragrant River

: Nine Hundred And Sixty-One [India Framing]

India, Kolkata, Durham Airport.

The “Resident Evil” crew packed a bus and headed for the city center 20 kilometers away. Most of the people in the car are behind-the-scenes employees. The only actors are Li Jiaxin and Aishwarya. Among them, Aishwarya went back to India to visit relatives.

Li Jiaxin was quite excited when she got off the plane. She especially likes to travel and goes to Europe every year. It was her first visit to India, and she was thinking about going to the Taj Mahal after filming.

But reality quickly poured cold water on Li Jiaxin. I saw countless garbage on both sides of the road, poor people in ragged clothes, and cows wandering around all over the place.

“Oh my god!” Li Jiaxin covered her mouth, stared at the front in a stunned manner, and then closed her eyes abruptly.

I saw a car parked not far ahead, and the driver got out of the car and ran to the side of the road to squat, just take off his pants and **** in public. As soon as he pulled it out, a local dog came running, wanting to eat this hot **** to fill his stomach.

“Drink!” The **** driver waved his arms and drank the dog away.

“Wow!” The local dog escaped for a distance, watching the scum staring at him.

When the bus left a long distance, Li Jiaxin opened her eyes and said, “How can Indians be like this, to defecate anywhere on the side of the road!”

Aishwarya blushed when she heard this. She was also Indian, and of course she knew what this country was like. Not to mention in 1995, even 20 years later, most households in India did not have toilets, and it was common to laze anywhere in the city center.

In order to reverse this disgraceful behavior, the Indian government specially hired police officers to patrol the streets, and used water cannons to expel those who **** and pee, but it was still useless.

Kang Jianfei smiled and said, “This is an Indian custom.”

“Customs?” Li Jiaxin was extremely puzzled.

Kang Jianfei said: “This custom originates from the caste system in India, with one level over another.”

Li Jiaxin asked curiously, “Isn’t India a democratic society? Why is there such a system?”

“Although it is prohibited by law, it still exists in practice,” Kang Jianfei said. “Most households in India do not have toilets because of the lack of a corresponding sewer system. Especially in rural areas, only dry toilets can be built, and this type of toilet requires someone to regularly Dig up.”

Although Li Jiaxin lives in the city, she also knows basic common sense. She said: “There are also dry toilets in the countryside in Hong Kong. The feces in the toilets can be used for irrigation and fertilization. Indian farmers do not need to fertilize the land?”

“Hehe, it’s really not necessary. They don’t even dig ditches for farming,” Kang Jianfei continued. “Below the four major castes in India, there are lower-ranking pariahs. They belong to the untouchables, and they have to wear a bell when they go out. High-level people will step aside when they hear the bell, so as to avoid contact with the untouchables. Under the caste system, all jobs are fixed, and the cheap work of digging dung can only be done by untouchables. Families with castes do not want untouchables. into their homes, so no one takes out the feces in the dry toilets.”

Li Jiaxin said, “Aren’t they going to dig their own feces?”

Kang Jianfei said with a smile: “No, because the job of excavating manure belongs to the untouchables, so dry toilets cannot be popularized in India. India’s infrastructure is very poor, and modern toilets with drainage systems are even more impossible to build on a large scale.”

Li Jiaxin flattered with a tone of admiration: “Brother Fei, you know a lot.”

“Hahaha.” Kang Jianfei laughed. He hasn’t said that Indians don’t use their left hand to eat, because the left hand is used to wipe the buttocks. If such a thing is said, it is estimated that Li Jiaxin will not dare to eat in India.

Kang Jianfei was laughing, but Aishwarya felt ashamed. I didn’t feel much living in India before, but after living in Hong Kong and the United States for two years, she could no longer accept these bad habits in her motherland.

The bus soon pulled into the city of Calcutta.

When the British colonized India, the city used to be the capital of India, but now it has become the second largest city in India, and will become the third largest city in the future.

You may not believe it when you say it. The communist and Maoist thoughts here have a wide influence, and they often play with left-wing and trade union movements. Today, the state of West Bengal, where Kolkata is located, is governed by the Indian Communist Party, and it will continue to be in power for 30 years, and it is still democratically voted.

In the mid-1990s, Calcutta was a wasteland, and its economy was developing very fast. Some foreign brands invested and built factories here, especially electronics companies. There are very few high-rise buildings in the city, most of which are concentrated in the new urban area in the northeast, which has only been developed in the past two years.

The filming location of “Resident Evil” is in the Northeast New City, where there is a skyscraper built only last year – a full 35 stories high, it is the tallest building in Kolkata.

This is the second largest city in India. In terms of high-rise buildings, it is not comparable to the Kowloon area of Hong Kong.

After entering the city, the perception is much better than that of the suburbs. Especially the dress of the women on the street, they wear gold ornaments and sari, which are very exotic.

In the afternoon, everyone stayed in the hotel, and Kang Jianfei took the set designer to the scene to make arrangements. Busy until it was getting dark, I basically completed the general work, and came to the shooting location in the new city early the next morning.

Then Kang Jianfei exploded. Nima promised to meet at seven in the morning, but it was almost eight, and the Indian extras he invited had not arrived yet, these unpunctual slackers!

In order to facilitate the shooting, the entire street was cleared, and the set designers continued to work on the rest of the work yesterday.

Nearby buildings have been smashed, the glass on the exterior walls of many buildings has been deliberately broken, the streets are full of abandoned cars, and paper scraps are littered in the streets~www.readwn.com~ Today is only one scene, and the It’s the last kill scene.

Li Jiaxin rushed out of the building and came to the street in a daze. She looked around the desolate and deserted street, completely confused about the situation.

“Crack!”

Jian Kang shouted from the pilot tube, “Helicopter! Prepare for all the group performances.”

Next is the big scene. There are more than 2,000 extras alone. The assistant director will explain the movements with the translator, instructing them how to move around and not run around. The rest is left to the zombies to play freely.

With 2,000 zombies performing in a group, it took most of a day to make up. Fortunately, it’s all medium and long shots, so you don’t need to be too careful with makeup, and some people’s faces can be smeared with blood.

Nowadays, there are no drones, and aerial photography can only be done by helicopters. This thing is still rented by Kang Jianfeihua at a large price.

Du Kefeng sat at the door of the cabin with the camera on his back, the camera gradually lifted from Li Jiaxin, and then cast it into the distance on the street. At first, it was just a few scattered zombies, cruising aimlessly on the street, until the camera continued to move forward, there would be countless zombies.

The movie ends here.

“Resident Evil 1” is just the prelude to the entire series. The heroine was captured after a life-and-death struggle, and then escaped from the laboratory. As soon as she went out, she found that the zombie virus had completely spread.

This is digging a hole. When the audience sees the ending, they will definitely want to watch the second part. (To be continued.)
