I become a big star after I sleep

Chapter 161 Sunshine and Shadow

It was four or five o'clock in the morning, and the sky was still dark.

A little bit of light illuminates the outlines of dilapidated old buildings. Under the cover of darkness, they look like old people in their twilight years.

Clothes are drying outside the hundreds of windows of the old building, with underwear and outer linings in a mess, covering the outer walls of the old building.

The faded billboards protruding from the building to the road—Wang Ji Zao Zao, Zhang's Hardware, Tongzhi Company...

Every tens of meters of electric poles, wires gather and cross over the road.

There are many pedestrians on the road.

The vegetable stalls on the side of the road have already been set up, and the vegetables spread on the sacks can be barely seen through the dim street lights beside the road.

The stall owners are hawking, and the buyers follow the flow of people and stop to bargain with the stall owners when they encounter the vegetables they want to buy.

Crowded, messy, old...

There are many adjectives that can describe this place, but they all come down to one—poverty.

Qin Muchu walked and watched all the way, besides Deputy Director Ma and Zhang Songwen, there were more than a dozen crew members behind him.

There are props, cameras, and four or five cameras.

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that this would be Hong Kong Island. It's almost the same as my hometown town."

Deputy Director Ma couldn't help but sigh.

It is hard to imagine that a world-class metropolis like Hong Kong Island still has such a backward place.

"Sham Shui Po, one of the poorest districts on Hong Kong Island, is such a small place, with tens of 10 people living in coffin houses and cage houses."

Zhang Songwen introduced, with complex expressions in his eyes—feeling emotion and compassion.

When he came to Hong Kong Island to experience life, he lived here.

Seeing the people around you every day is numb and busy, no one is pursuing better spiritual or material enjoyment, that is too extravagant.

To live, as if just to live.

Qin Muchu listened to the words of the two without commenting.

This is the case when the economy develops to a certain extent, and the polarization between the rich and the poor becomes more so in larger cities.

It's not something he can handle.

All he can do is use movies to give some encouragement and support to those in such a predicament.

If they still have time and money to watch movies.

Qin Muchu kept looking at the buildings on both sides along the road, and looked up at the roof of the old building from time to time, constructing the scene in his mind, thinking about where to put the camera, so that he could take the picture he wanted.

"Director Qin, the sun will rise in half an hour."

Deputy Director Ma glanced at the time, stepped forward to remind Qin Muchu.

The reason why they got up early this morning was to take a shot of Hong Kong Island at sunrise.

Qin Muchu was looking for a suitable shooting position.

If you can't find the camera position before sunrise and arrange the shooting, you can only come back tomorrow.

After all, the sun rises only once a day.

"Oh, I see."

Seeing Qin Muchu nod his head, Deputy Director Ma stepped back and said nothing more.

After walking for another five or six minutes, just when everyone thought the trip was a waste of time, Qin Muchu suddenly stopped.

The team stops.

Qin Muchu stood in the middle of the road, surrounded by bustling dilapidated urban areas on both sides, but at the end of the road was a tall building with silver-white glass and metal exterior walls, in stark contrast to the dark old buildings.

The building is very big and high, like a big mountain blocking the end of the road.

Qin Muchu looked up at the building, with dozens of floors nearly a hundred meters high, and the old buildings at its feet, like dwarves.

Seeing Qin Muchu stop and look at the opposite building, Deputy Director Ma immediately stepped forward to introduce:
"Director Qin, the opposite is Tsuen Wan District."

Tsuen Wan District is a relatively affluent district on Hong Kong Island.

There are high-rise buildings, shopping plazas, and flagship stores of famous brands.

A road, like the dividing line of the world, separates the two worlds.

Qin Muchu looked around and kept looking at the upper floors of the surrounding buildings.

Suddenly, he stopped searching and pointed to an old building next to the "dividing line".

"Just go there, go to the roof of that building to shoot."

……

"Made, there are no elevators on more than ten floors, do you have any public morality?"

Props and cameras sat slumped on the roof of the old building, panting heavily, hammering their sore thighs.

Among them, the person carrying the camera scolded the most.

"It's not that there is no elevator, it's that it's broken and hasn't been repaired." Some people are serious.

"What's the difference between that special code!"

"There is no violation of the elevator, and it is not a violation if it is broken and not repaired."

Qin Muchu patted the shoulder of the portrait and smiled.

All the staff stood up immediately, and the camera that was tapped on the shoulder stopped cursing and grimacing in an instant, with a bitter expression on their faces.

Work complained and got caught by the boss.

He glanced sideways, and saw Deputy Director Ma's eyes that seemed to be killing people.

Immediately fix the situation:

"Director Qin, I'm not complaining about the tiredness of work, but I'm complaining about the people who live here. You see, it's okay for a man like us. Those old people in their [-]s and [-]s live in such a high place, how can they get up.

When I went upstairs, I saw that there were still many old people living here. "

Qin Muchu smiled,
"You are quite concerned about the country and the people."

"That is, how many years have I received socialist education, and I can't understand the sufferings of the world."

The camera patted his chest, his face full of righteousness.

He has been in the industry for many years, and he is also an old fritter, so he can climb up if he is given a stick.

"Don't worry about others. According to our side, the houses here cost tens of thousands per square meter. You think others don't have elevators, and others have a toilet that is enough to buy a suite in your hometown."

Deputy director Ma said negatively.

Ever since he knew that Qin Muchu was coming to Hong Kong Island to film, he had learned a lot about Hong Kong Island.

I don't say I know much about it, but I have to be clear about the general situation, so as to prevent Qin Muchu from asking him and knowing nothing about it.

"So expensive? Just this small broken house?"

The camera widened its eyes.

This kind of broken building, the door is still the kind of iron grille door, dirty, dilapidated and crowded, just like the slums, and the house price is so high.

……

Qin Muchu walked around the roof, standing on the side eaves and looking into the distance from time to time.

Use your fingers to form a small box to simulate the lens of a camera, and watch the "shot" picture.

"Director Qin, stand far away, there is wind in the morning, don't be careful not to be blown down."

Zhang Songwen stepped forward, took Qin Muchu's arm and took two steps back.

There is no protective fence on the roof of this old building, maybe there used to be, but it has already broken under the wind and sun.

"Not until……"

Before the word "Yu" was uttered, Qin Muchu lowered his head and saw the ant-sized human head on the ground. He felt dizzy, his heart beat faster, his legs softened, and he took two steps back.

Zhang Songwen quickly supported Qin Muchu to prevent him from falling.

anxiously asked:
"What's going on here?"

After Qin Muchu took two steps back, he was far away from the edge of the roof, and the sense of panic gradually dissipated.

Stand up slowly and shake your hands:

"It's okay, I'm afraid of heights."

Zhang Songwen knew that Qin Muchu had this problem as early as the crew of "Star Maiden", and it would not be embarrassing to tell him.

After hearing Qin Muchu's words, Zhang Songwen felt relieved, thinking that something was wrong with Qin Muchu's body.

After thinking about it, I found it a little funny:

"Afraid of heights, you still stand to the side?"

"I just didn't remember it."

Qin Muchu replied.

I was thinking about taking pictures just now, and completely forgot about my fear of heights.

Zhang Songwen wanted to say something else, but Deputy Director Ma came over, holding the walkie-talkie in his hand, and handed it to Qin Muchu:
"Director Qin, they're here too."

In order to compare the pictures taken, Qin Muchu divided into several groups and went to the rooftops of several nearby old buildings to shoot.

Qin Muchu took the walkie-talkie and saw the cameramen on the nearby rooftops waving to him.

"After a while, arrange the seat according to the position I pointed out."

he spoke into the intercom.

"receive."

"receive."

"..."

Hearing the reply, Qin Muchu also began to arrange seats.

Standing at a corner of the rooftop, he looked at the building diagonally above him, took a stick and gestured at the building, then moved his eyes closer to the stick, aiming.

"Will the sun come out from there later?"

he asked, pointing in the direction he was aiming.

"Yes."

Deputy Director Ma stepped forward, carrying a compass for accuracy.

Qin Muchu nodded and put down the stick.

"Give me the flashlight."

Immediately someone handed a flashlight.

Holding the flashlight, he looked around on the rooftop again.

It is full of sundries that many residents don't want, such as broken sofas, TV sets, tables and the like.

Qin Muchu walked towards a table, and there was a big hole in the table.

"Come on two people, move to the place where I just stood."

As soon as the voice fell, two people ran over immediately.

Qin Muchu hugged the corner of the table, and the three of them worked together to move the table to the corner just now.

"Help me up, I'll stand up."

After Qin Muchu finished speaking, he climbed up the table.

"Can not be done!"

"Director Qin, come down quickly!"

Zhang Songwen and Deputy Director Ma immediately grabbed Qin Muchu.

Behind the table is tens of meters in the air. If you fall from this height, you will never find a complete body.

"It's okay, you help me, hurry up."

Qin Muchu clapped their hands away.

Time was running out, and he had already vaguely seen the light of dawn.

Seeing this, they didn't dare to pull Qin Muchu hard because they were on the edge of the roof, so they could only let him go.

"Director Qin, you are afraid of heights, aren't you afraid of heights?"

Zhang Songwen was still worried and wanted Qin Muchu to come down by himself.

Standing on the edge of the roof is dangerous, let alone standing on a tattered table.

How long this table can stand up is uncertain.

"I'll be afraid of heights later."

Qin Muchu hastily replied.

He stood up straight, raised the flashlight high, and lit it downward, and a ray of light appeared in the sky.

"Hold the stick along the light trail."

"it is good."

Deputy Director Ma knew that it was useless to persuade him, so he could only hope that Qin Muchu would finish it as soon as possible.

"Old Zhang, you are the tallest, you lift it!"

Deputy Director Ma shouted back.

Immediately, a 1.9-meter tall man walked out, stepped forward, picked up a stick, and held it above the light from the flashlight.

"Director Qin, is that so?" The big man raised his head and asked.

"Okay, just don't move."

Qin Muchu nodded and put down the flashlight.

"I'm coming down."

"It's all done!"

Deputy Director Ma said immediately, and at the same time stretched out his hand to hold Qin Muchu with Zhang Songwen.

Getting off the table, Qin Muchu clapped his hands.

Walk to the big man holding the stick, follow the direction of his stick, and slowly determine a point.

He drew an arc on the ground with a stone.

"The camera is here."

Pointing to the line drawn under his feet, he said to a photographer:
"After a while, the camera will be placed on this line. The specific point will be adjusted according to the sunlight. The angle of the lens is the angle at which the stick is tilted."

The photographer nodded, and immediately began to arrange the camera positions according to Qin Muchu's words.

Qin Muchu turned around, and went to arrange the filming teams on several other buildings...

The camera position has been set up, just waiting for the sunrise to shoot.

Time passed slowly, and the sky in the east became brighter and brighter, from dark red to deep red, and then to light yellow...

The color is gradually approaching the bright system.

"Start up."

Qin Muchu ordered.

In an instant, all the cameras on the rooftop started working together.

Qin Muchu looked at the shooting screen of the building he was in, without saying a word, quietly waiting for the sun to reach the right position.

Slowly, slowly, the sun moved at an unfathomable speed.

Finally, Sunshine met Qin Muchu's predetermined track.

In the shot, the sunlight illuminates the sunny side of the building. Under the reflection of the glass and steel plates, it is bright and dazzling, making people unable to look directly at it.

However, the old building has no sunshine due to the barrier of the building, but it is a little bright under the reflection of the light of the building, and the clothes on the window sill are quietly drying.

The skyscrapers with half bright and half dark, dilapidated old buildings that shine because of reflections, and the shadows of buildings on their walls constitute a depressing and dull picture.

"Move the camera slowly to capture the street below."

Qin Muchu said.

The camera rolls immediately.

Old billboards, cluttered wires and bustling crowds appear in the streets.

Still images come alive.

Another long time passed.

The sun has gradually moved higher into the sky.

The sun shines on the body, making people feel warm.

Qin Muchu stared at the camera, "Back to the angle just now."

The screen returns to the beginning again.

The building is still the building, the old building is still the old building, nothing has changed.

But the sun has changed.

The building that originally blocked the sun from shining on the old building, because the sun is high, can no longer block it.

The sun shines unobstructed on the old building, and the black old building is golden.

A breeze blows by, and the clothes on the window sill flutter gently...
