Chapter 4 "The Cage" (Zero)

Jiang Shuming looked at the scene of retreating outside the car window for a while and closed his eyes tiredly.

The assistant on the side spoke warmly: "Director Jiang, do you need to take medicine and sleep for a while? It's still half an hour's drive from Liancheng."

Jiang Shuming, whose temples were white, shook his head, took the warm water handed over by his assistant and took a few sips, holding a thermos cup to warm his hands.

"Why can't you find it?" he sighed.

Assistant Xiao Chen was not convenient to answer this, so he could only keep smiling.

After a while, Jiang Shuming's mobile phone trembled slightly, and there was a new message on Feixun, which was sent by Cen Yi.

"Brother Jiang, I'm on the high-speed rail and I'll arrive in about forty minutes."

Cen Yi, the actor of the male lead in Jiang Shuming's new movie. The two are not very different in age and are alumni with good friendship.

Jiang Shuming replied on his phone: "I won't shoot your scene today, so let's go with Qingyuan, why are you running over from all over the place?"

"Look for a feeling." Cen Yi said, "I have to see how terrible the person Ji Sheng met was, and I can't forget even if I am amnesia. Otherwise, how can I act then?"

"You are also hardworking." Jiang Shuming sighed.

"We are each other, Brother Jiang." Cen Yi said, "But didn't you say you were looking for an actor in Shencheng? Why did you temporarily change it to Liancheng?"

When Jiang Shuming mentioned this, he had a headache: "I have been to the boxing ring in Shencheng."

"You also know that in the boxing ring now, they are doing legal business. They look like boxing classes, without any mistakes. I also went to the inner court to see a few boxers. There are many who have the foundation, but they have practiced them at first glance."

Jiang Shuming sighed: "If you can fight, you can't play it, and if you can play it, you won't play it."

Cen Yi attaches great importance to this performance, and sighs after hearing this.

"Brother Jiang, if you really can't do it, don't be obsessed with feelings. Didn't you face a few people with aura before? If you really can't find what you want, just turn back and contact them."

Cen Yi's words were already tactful enough. To be honest, it would be difficult to find this supporting role according to the script.

"Cage" is a suspense crime film. The protagonist Ji Sheng's parents died early and were adopted by his uncle. When he grew up, he became an ordinary policeman. One time, after a fire rescue, he found himself having a nightmare. In the dream, a young man and woman were buried in the fire. There was also a young man who suddenly turned around with blood on his face, and his eyes almost pierced his soul through his eyes.

Ji Sheng noticed the clues and asked his uncle. He learned that his parents did not die in a car accident, but were both sacrificed in the investigation of a criminal organization. He was shocked to death when he witnessed his parents' tragic situation and was rescued by his uncle who was also a special police officer. The whole process was too great, causing him to lose his memory from that year.

Ji Sheng, who learned the truth, decided to avenge his parents. He speculated that the boy in his dream might be the one who killed his parents, but his intuition told him that the boy had an indescribable relationship with him...

What Jiang Shuming is looking for this time is the actor who plays the boy in the movie.

In the script, the criminal organization that Ji Sheng's parents investigated was related to drugs. They not only mastered the production and sale of toxic (anti-HX) products, but also illegally developed new drugs and conducted human experiments. The boy, code-named "China", was a thug who was injected with drugs and kept in the organization.

Because he grew up in an organization since childhood, all he needed to do was obey orders and kill people, so he had no human touch and was extremely cold. He could only feel excited when he killed people.

Because he has received injections of medicine all year round but has not undergone systematic training, there is no fixed pattern during fighting, and almost all rely on the combat instincts that are trained between killing and being killed again and again.

Although Chi Na is a supporting role, it runs through the entire movie. The fateful entanglement between him and the protagonist is also one of the key points. Jiang Shuming originally selected a young actor and hired a martial arts coach with a deep experience. After "Cage" started filming, he specially placed this part of the scene in the front position, but he didn't expect that it would get stuck when filmed.

It’s not that the actors don’t work hard, nor is it a matter of martial arts or camera photography.

Chi Na is very good at fighting, but she doesn't know how to fight, which requires the actors to interpret the feeling of "having combat instinct". After going over and over again for nearly a week, several young actors have changed. They either play fancyly or are not tense enough. They can really perform the role, but they are not young enough and have different image.

Jiang Shuming's head is about to be bald.

In desperation, Jiang Shuming simply followed his master's sword and went straight to the boxing ring to find someone, and played the role of his true nature.

He also steadily exports bodyguards and security guards to the outside world. He is very popular in the market and is also a serious company to the outside world.

This is also the reason why Jiang Shuming can contact the owner of the boxing ring directly to find extras and obtain shooting permissions.

He went to Shencheng today. The boxing ring there was very large and professional, but it was too professional. When fighting, it was full of wind and did not meet the requirements, so he rushed to Liancheng again. According to normal ideas, the smaller the boxing ring, the more courageous it was, and it was neither light nor heavy. Many teenagers who were quitting school and scrambling to society might be able to discover one.

Although Jiang Shuming has made many bad commercial films in his directorial career, his vision is the same as his master. He has always been good at seeing people. Qi Qingyuan, who plays the young Chi Na this time, was also dug out by him. An 18th-tier actor who has been in the entertainment industry for more than ten years but has not made a name for himself. He has the strength but has no reputation. He neither drags down the movie nor can he shake Cen Yi's weight. The best of both worlds.

Cen Yi has been lukewarm since the rise period. He has been with the actors several times. His wife has just given birth to a child at home. He has forced him to be more motivated in his career and family. Jiang Shuming tasted the sweetness of commercial films in his early years and gave up the original intention of filmmakers and made a lot of bad movies that made quick money. He was scolded by his master because of this. Now that he has made enough money, he realized how much time he has wasted and wanted to make a good movie. The two hit it off and reached a cooperation.

"Director Jiang, the place has arrived."

Assistant Xiao Chen's words interrupted Jiang Shuming's thoughts, and he cheered up and got out of the car.

"What did you say?"

Another assistant's surprised voice came into Jiang Shuming's ears.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Shuming frowned.

"Director Jiang." The assistant came over and whispered in his ear, "The boxing ring said that it was a difficult thing to mess with tonight. I wonder if I came here to smash the venue. The situation inside is very tense now."

Jiang Shuming's expression stretched: "It's okay, go and have a look. Tell them that if something happens, we will be responsible for it."

"This... I understand, I'll go now." The assistant nodded.

Jiang Shuming's photography team did not come with him, but only brought the driver, assistant, bodyguard, and Qi Qingyuan.

After negotiations, the group walked into the boxing ring in a low-key manner. The basement floor was the lounge, with a few pool tables, which looked very serious. From the secret door, the deafening cheer immediately crashed into the eardrums. The smell of blood and sweat interspersed. The air was extremely salty and fishy. Coupled with screams and shouts, it stimulated people's adrenaline soaring, and the whole space was filled with wild excitement.

At this time, the wall clock on the wall stayed at 10:40.

...

Cen Yi left the high-speed rail station wearing a hat and a mask, and called a car to go straight to a Nanyang Street.

The driver and passers-by did not recognize him at all. The outdated actor Mr. Cen Yi couldn't help but feel sad in the car for a while.

"Brother Jiang, I'm here."

He sent a message to Jiang Shuming, but he received no reply like the previous ones.

What happened? Or did Brother Jiang really find someone?

Cen Yi got out of the car and walked quickly to the destination, and assistant Xiao Chen was waiting for him at the door.

"What's the situation now?" Cen Yi nodded to her before asking.

Xiao Chen's face turned a little pale and she forced a smile: "Brother Cen, you'll know if you go down and take a look. Uh, it should... be a good thing, right?"

Cen Yi said "um" inexplicably and followed Xiao Chen down.

"Brother Jiang has found a good seedling?" He was determined to relieve the girl's emotions and asked something first, Cen Yi asked again.

"There is one, very good, no, quite awesome."

Xiao Chen's speech was still trembling. If she hadn't led the way for Cen Yi, she wouldn't want to come down again.

"That's great." Cen Yi was gentle and was quite happy to hear that Jiang Shuming's efforts and persistence were not in vain. "I see what kind of amazing wild actor is... Damn!"

Cen Yi, who has always been a good temper, exploded directly when his left foot just stepped out of the narrow door.

This, this, this is still human?!

In the middle of the boxing ring, a young man was shuttled between several strong men at an extremely fast speed, with his fists densely storm hitting the target's head. Sometimes he was short and avoided the attack behind him, and he made a high whip leg. Sometimes he jumped up with the force of another person. His slender and straight legs were locked on the neck of the second person, and his waist was twisted and dropped to the ground.

Cen Yi was dazzled at first, but he was also from a martial arts drama and had some skills. After a few minutes, he found something wrong.

This young man can really kill people!

But he doesn't want to kill him!

Cen Yi noticed that he had hit the weakest part of the human body several times, but he turned to a thick and thick place like chest, abdomen and buttocks. What's even more terrifying is that even if he didn't control himself, he could still attack at such a rapid speed! As for the strength... the sound of fists and flesh could be heard from nearly twenty meters, which was enough to tell everything!

"hiss."

Cen Yi was sore in his eyes. He turned to see Qi Qingyuan. The two of them looked at each other and saw that each other looked dirty.

Jiang Shuming stood beside them, his fat face full of affirmation and appreciation.

"This, does this child have registration information?" Jiang Shuming rubbed his hands and asked the waiter next to the boxing ring.

The waiter held it in for a long time: "He suddenly broke in and did not write his name. He said a few words when he came in."

"What did you say?" Cen Yi interrupted.

"The first sentence is that I promise not to die."

Qi Qingyuan and Cen Yi's faces were twisted at the same time.

"What about the second sentence?" Jiang Shuming asked.

"Uh, the second sentence is, I'll pay for the medical expenses if I can get it."
