Today is the fourth day in India. Yi Feiyang discovered that people here like to ask three questions: Where are you from? How long have you been here? Who are you here with?

Looking back, the people who asked these questions are actually some weird people.

On this day, after everyone had dinner, Jessica Alba was taken out by Fat Jack and others to enjoy the night view of India, while the others went back to the room to rest. Yi Feiyang looked through the shooting materials alone in the room, and then communicated through the Internet and

The film company here finally negotiated the recruitment time for actors and the filming location. Then they breathed a sigh of relief. It was rare that they felt comfortable. Yi Feiyang, who was used to doing exercise, went downstairs to work out.

There were no customers in the gym at first, only a female yoga instructor came over to say hello enthusiastically. She was sweet-looking, with long curved eyelashes like an Indian girl, and big black eyes. She had red dots between her eyebrows, which made her look very charming.

And enchanting.

The Indian female instructor is not tall, about as high as Yi Feiyang's eyes, but her figure is very plump. I don't know if it is because she often practices yoga. She is almost concave in places and upturned in places. She handed

Shui handed over the towel and seemed very enthusiastic and proactive. Yi Feiyang said thank you and no need.

When the female coach saw Yi Feiyang acting like this, she came up and asked him if he was a director from the United States who came to India to recruit actors for filming?

In fact, it is no secret that talented people like Yi Feiyang have settled in this big hotel. However, due to Yi Feiyang's personal reasons, the hotel kept his whereabouts confidential, so that many reporters waiting outside the hotel could not get any information.

News. However, as an internal employee of the hotel, this beautiful fitness instructor obviously knew that Yi Feiyang had "a great background."

Then she started asking those three old questions. Yi Feiyang talked to her casually.

She looked a little surprised to hear that Yi Feiyang was not married yet. She seemed surprised that a man with status, status and good looks like Yi Feiyang was still single. You know, successful people in India usually get married very early. Then she

Said, "Oh, I saw your girlfriend today, she is the beautiful girl with chocolate skin color."

Yi Feiyang said, "You may be mistaken, that's just my female assistant."

Yi Feiyang still has to be wary of strangers. Who knows whether the other party will tell nonsense to the media. It is said that his news revelations are now sold at a very high price in the market.

Seeing that Yi Feiyang's reaction was not very enthusiastic, the beautiful coach smiled sarcastically. Yi Feiyang ignored her and started to pick up the dumbbells to exercise.

While he was working out, the beautiful trainer kept looking at him with her beautiful eyes from time to time, looking a little absent-minded.

Because the gym was about to close at that time, Yi Feiyang thought she must have wanted him to leave early. But looking at the appearance of the beautiful coach, it was a bit different. It seemed that she was paying more attention to Yi Feiyang's every move.

After Yifeiyang finished his 30-minute exercise, as soon as he got off the equipment, the beautiful coach volunteered to teach him to do stretching. He said that this is a type of Indian yoga and is very helpful for regulating work stress.

Yi Feiyang usually likes to practice martial arts. Of course he knows what "stretching" is, so he said, you are about to get off work, let's talk about it next time.

The beautiful coach said it was okay and there was still time.

When Yi Feiyang saw that the girl was so insistent, he shrugged helplessly and said, "Okay, come on."

The beautiful coach took Yifeiyang to the second floor of the fitness room, a large open room with huge floor-to-ceiling windows that could see the outside. There were many soft mats and other fitness equipment in the room.

Yi Feiyang looked around and saw that there were basically just the two of them.

Before Yi Feiyang could ask, the beautiful coach suddenly said shyly: "Hi, dear sir, maybe... we can do some other things here."

Other things? Seeing the beautiful coach starting to take off her tight top, Yi Feiyang understood.

"Oh no, no, I'm sorry." Yi Feiyang went over and asked her to put her clothes on. "I don't need this, really."

The beautiful coach looked at him doubtfully: "Am I not beautiful?"

"No, you are beautiful."

"Then why are you..." The beautiful coach was a little confused. In the past, she met many men who deliberately teased her. Now, she mustered up the courage to take the initiative and was rejected.

"We're not very familiar with each other, right?" Yi Feiyang made an excuse and said, "We don't even know each other's names yet."

"But I know you, your name is Yi Feiyang, and you are a great Hollywood director!" The beautiful coach looked at Yi Feiyang with admiration.

Yi Feiyang was speechless, "It seems like you know me very well..."

"Of course, I admire you very much. I have basically watched all the movies you made, yes, including the most recent one, "Iron Man"!"

Yi Feiyang didn't expect to meet a female fan here and take the initiative to devote herself to him. The problem is, this Indian beauty is really so beautiful. It's a test, a cruel test.

"But I don't know your name yet."

"My name is Emma Sweeteeha, you can just call me Emma!" the beauty replied, blinking the long eyelashes unique to Indian women.

"Really Emma? Then listen, I am very grateful for your love and support for me, but... I don't like to have too close relationships with my fans. Yes, I hope you can understand." Yi Feiyang

Don't want to hurt the other person's self-esteem, so speak politely.

Emma's eyes were moist. "You... don't like me?"

"How could it be possible? For a girl as beautiful as you, as a man, I..." Before Yi Feiyang could finish speaking, Emma had already covered her face and ran away.

Yi Feiyang didn't expect things to turn out like this, and couldn't help but feel a little depressed. At this time, the hotel manager came to him to discuss arranging a conference room. Yi Feiyang lost his temper angrily and scolded him for being too slow in doing things.

It makes people wait until the day lilies are cold.

The hotel manager was scolded inexplicably. Coupled with the fact that he happened to bump into Emma with tears on her face when he came in, he thought to himself. Could it be... forced rape and attempted rape?!

That night, Yi Feiyang came back from the fitness room. He had just finished taking a shower and was about to read the script. At this time, there was a knock on the door, but it was the manager of the hotel. As soon as he entered, he nodded and bowed and apologized, and said some inexplicable words, to the effect that he was afraid.

Yi Feiyang complained about the poor service in their hotel, and finally added, "Mr. Yi, we have fired that Emma who made you angry. Yes, we have sent her back to her hometown! If you really need it,

For special services, I can help you find a better one..."

Seeing the hotel manager's pimp smile, Yi Feiyang almost kicked the guy out.

Kao, after a long time you thought I was a pervert, and you failed to tease Emma, ​​so you got angry at you, right?

In fact, the hotel manager did think so. Young people can't be lustful. Especially when they come to a place like India where beautiful women are born, how can those men hold back. If nothing else, they just have to be served by their own pimps.

There are no less than a hundred guests, and after the work is done, you can also get a large reward.

At this moment, Yi Feiyang couldn't laugh or cry. He knew that the more he explained at this time, the worse it would be. Who made him a celebrity? As the saying goes, explanation is a cover-up. So Yi Feiyang's answer was, "I don't understand what you are talking about."

What, I have to take a rest now, please come back!"

The hotel manager, who was passionately in love with her buttocks, left in a bored manner, scratching his head and wondering whether he had done the right thing or the wrong thing.

Yi Feiyang didn't want to take such a small thing to heart at first, but he couldn't help but think of the Indian girl Emma. She didn't look like the kind of girl who was neither ordinary nor ordinary.

, she must have her reasons for doing that... Now that she has lost her job, I wonder how she is doing?

…

In fact, there is a reason why the Film Association of India's approval process for "Slumdog Millionaire" was slow. Although Yi Feiyang is well-known and is the most famous director in Hollywood, the script of his film is too sensitive.

Already.

As the person in charge of the Film Association of India said, this story contains too many sensitive topics in India. If you are not careful, it will cause many obstacles to Yi Feiyang's filming work.

In fact, in a previous life, the film was criticized because it showed a lot of poverty and violence in the lower class society in India. The "London Times" columnist Elle Mitchell used the word "poverty flattery" in her article.

To evaluate this film, it means that the film uses India's poverty and backwardness to please Westerners. Later, the Indian media also labeled the film with this label.

Especially after the film was fully released, it caused a huge wave of protests in India. Most of the protesting crowds came from the Great Haveli, the largest slum in Asia. There were women and children among them. Some of them held placards and shouted slogans

"Down with director Danny Paul"; some took portraits of film director Paul and actors and slapped them with slippers. The leader of the protest team said angrily: "They laughed at us, they hurt our feelings."

Therefore, Yi Feiyang must first consider how to resolve these conflicts before filming. In addition to using a more objective narrative technique in the film, the first thing Yi Feiyang has to do is to respect the feelings of the people in these slums and record them truthfully.

The life there is not just a fantasy behind closed doors. So Yi Feiyang decided to personally go to the largest slum in Mumbai, India, to examine the real life there. In addition, he might be able to select young actors he thought were good there.

In fact, from the first day he arrived in India, Yi Feiyang began the hard work of casting. Fortunately, before that, the Indian film company and Fantasy Entertainment had already selected from thousands of auditioned actors according to what Yi Feiyang told them.

According to the requirements, suitable actors were selected. After Yi Feiyang actually arrived in India, several protagonists were quickly selected.

But when choosing the two young actors, Jamal and Salim, Yi Feiyang ran into trouble. He was not satisfied with some of the children recommended by everyone and always felt that something was missing.

Because children are the most innocent. Unlike adults, if there are flaws in their roles, they can make up for them with their acting skills. How much acting skills do these children have?

After thinking for a long time, Yi Feiyang realized what the problem was. It was not because they were not simple or naive enough, but because most of these children were not from the slums, and their eyes lacked the stubbornness and tolerance of children born at the bottom of life.

The hope and desire for a better life.

Therefore, Yi Feiyang decided to personally go to Dhawi, the filming location of this movie - the second largest slum in the world and the largest in Asia, hoping that he could find some suitable children there.

There are nearly 2,000 large and small slums in Mumbai. Dhavi is the largest. The area here is only 1.75 square kilometers, but the number of residents reaches one million. The edge of Dhavi area is located on the garbage dump. The people living here

Men squatted on the ground in twos and threes to bask in the sun. Puppies chased around among the "hills" formed by construction waste and domestic waste. Waves of damp stench came from the narrow and busy streets. This is India.

The real situation shown by "Slum Tourism".

Walking into the streets of Dhahavi, you may trip over the open sewers on the street. The distance between the houses here is only 6 inches (about 15 centimeters), and some houses even house four generations of the family. Most of the houses in the slum are divided into

It has two floors, separated by rough wooden boards. The height of both the ground floor and the attic is less than 1.5 meters. The alleys here are complicated and you often get lost as soon as you turn around. The alleys are piled with recycled waste and daily life products.

Garbage exudes a strong rancid smell.

There are almost no public health facilities in the slums. On average, every 15 families share one water pipe; most residents have no drainage system in their homes, and every 144o people share one toilet; no one cleans up the garbage...

To be honest, Yi Feiyang doesn't like such an environment, but for an art creator, such an environment can inspire creative inspiration.

If nothing else, let's just say that Yi Feiyang's favorite movie "City of God" depicts the most distinctive "evil city" in Brazil. The real life there is simply more exciting than the movie. Yi Feiyang believes that,

If you were born there, even if you can't become a director, you can still become a writer, because there are so many story themes there.

In comparison, the largest slum in India has as much story-telling as the "City of God" in Brazil, and in some respects is even better than it.

At this moment, Yi Feiyang is observing the "stories" around him with great interest. In front of you, you can see the little boy running around naked and barefoot, the old man tripping over the piled plastic recycling, and the woman.

Girls washing their hair at the door, girls in school uniforms and bows going to school together, young men gathering in the open space to play cricket...

The people who are responsible for protecting Yi Feiyang are two "very senior" policemen from the Mumbai Police Department. It is said that these two people are "highly respected" in this area, and they understand both black and white.
To be continued...
