961【India framing】

Damdam Airport, Kolkata, India.

The crew of "Resident Evil" booked a bus and headed towards the city center 20 kilometers away. Most of the cars were behind the scenes, with only Li Jiaxin and Aishwarya, among which Aishwarya returned to India to visit relatives.

Li Jiaxin was quite excited when she got off the plane. She liked traveling very much and went to Europe every year. This was her first visit to India, thinking about going to the Taj Mahal after filming.

But reality soon poured a basin of cold water on Li Jiaxin. I saw countless garbage on both sides of the road, and ragged poor people everywhere, as well as the dirty cows wandering around.

"Oh my God!" Li Jiaxin covered her mouth, looked ahead in a daze, and then closed her eyes suddenly.

I saw a car parked not far away. The driver got out of the car and ran to the side of the road to squat. He took off his pants and shit in public. As soon as he pulled out a lump, a native dog came over and wanted to eat the hot shit to fill his stomach.

"Drink!" The shit driver waved his arms and drank the local dog.

"Woom!" The native dog escaped for a while and looked at the shit and stared at it.

After the bus drove a long distance, Li Jiaxin opened her eyes and said, "How can Indians do this? They actually urinate and defecate anywhere on the side of the road!"

Aishwarya blushed when she heard this. She was also an Indian, so of course she knew what this country looked like. Not to mention in 1995, even 20 years later, most Indian families did not have toilets, and it was common to pull around in the city center.

In order to reverse this disgraceful behavior, the Indian government hired police to patrol the streets. When they saw those who were stools, they used high-pressure water guns to drive them away, but they still had no use.

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

"Customs?" Li Jiaxin was extremely puzzled.

Kang Jianfei popularized the science: "This custom originated from the caste system in India, with one level of pressure on another."

Li Jiaxin said strangely: "Isn't India a dish boiling society? Why does this system exist?"

"Although it is prohibited by law, it actually exists," said Kang Jianfei. "Most families in India do not have toilets because they lack corresponding sewer systems. Especially in rural areas, dry toilets can only be built, which requires people to regularly dig up manure."

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

"Haha, it's really not necessary. They don't even dig ridges," Kang Jianfei continued. "As the four major castes in India, there are also lower-identity untouchables. They are untouchables who are invisible. They have to carry bells when they go out. When higher people hear the ringtone, they will get out of touch with untouchables. Under the caste system, all work is fixed, and the poor work of dirt can only be done by untouchables. However, families with castes are unwilling to enter their homes, so no one will take out the manure in the dry toilet."

Li Jiaxin said: "Will they not get the manure themselves?"

Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "No, because the work of digging manure is a pariah, 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 in an admirational tone: "Brother Fei, you know so much."

"Hahaha." Kang Jianfei laughed. He hadn't said that Indians don't need their left hand to eat, because their left hand is used to wipe their butts. If you say this, Li Jiaxin probably won't dare to eat in India.

Kang Jianfei was laughing, but Aishwarya felt very ashamed. She didn't feel much about 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 of her motherland.

The bus quickly drove into the Kolkata city.

When Britain colonized India, the city was once 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. The communism and Maoist thoughts here have a wide influence, and they often play the left-wing and trade union movements. Now Kolkata is located in West Bengal, which is under the rule of the Indian Communist Party, and will rule for 30 consecutive years, and it was also produced by the voting of the dish.

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

The filming location of "Resident Evil" is in the New Town District of Northeast China, where there is a skyscraper that was only built last year - as high as 35 floors, making it the tallest building in Kolkata.

This is India's second largest city. In terms of high-rise buildings, it is not as good as the Kowloon region in Hong Kong.

The impression after entering the city is much better than that in the suburbs. Especially the women on the street dressed up, wearing gold ornaments and sarees, which was very exotic.

In the afternoon of that day, everyone stayed in the hotel. Kang Jianfei took the setter to the scene to do the arrangement. He was busy until it was getting dark and basically completed the general work. He arrived at the shooting location in Xincheng District early the next morning.

Then Kang Jianfei exploded. Damn it was agreed to gather at 7 o'clock in the morning, but it was almost 8 o'clock. The Indian extras he invited had not arrived yet. These lazy guys who were not punctual!

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

The nearby buildings were all covered with seedlings, and the exterior glass of many buildings was deliberately broken, and the streets were filled with abandoned cars and paper scraps were thrown around the streets.

Today I only filmed one scene, but it was the last final scene.

Li Jiaxin broke out of the building in a daze and came to the street. She looked around the desolate and deserted streets and was completely unsure of the situation.

"Click!"

Kang Jianfei's director of the cylinder shouted: "Helicopter! All the extras are ready."

The next big scene was the big scene. There were more than 2,000 extras alone. The deputy director led the translator to explain the movements constantly, directing them to move and not to run around. The rest would allow the zombies to play freely.

With 2,000 zombie extras, it took half a day to put on makeup. Fortunately, they are all mid-range shots, so you don’t have to be too careful when applying makeup. Some people just need to get some blood stains on their faces.

Nowadays, there are no drones, and aerial photography can only be done by helicopters. This thing was rented by Kang Jianfei for a large price.

Du Kefeng was sitting at the cabin door carrying the camera. The camera gradually rose from Li Jiaxin and then threw it into the distance of the street. At first, it was just a few scattered zombies, swimming aimlessly on the street. Until the camera continued to move forward, countless zombies would appear.

The video ends here.

"Resident Evil 1" is just a 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 not help but want to watch the second part. (To be continued.)
Chapter completed!
