Hong Kong Island King Fried

Chapter 173 Killing the Wolf
Wang Jin is really not joking. He has a script on hand recently, which tells a story between a policeman, a gang leader, and a killer. He needs a good-looking, heroic, upright, and skilled character to play the role of a policeman.

Hong Kong Island is rich in actor resources. Be it handsome, heroic, or upright, you can find a lot of qualified ones. However, it is difficult to find those who satisfy all of these types and who need to "use real kung fu".

Chen Long is good at kung fu, and his appearance is average; Di Lung is upright and handsome when he was young, but he doesn't know real kung fu and is old; Zheng Zeshi... forget about him;

As for Liangzihua, Dianyanwei, Baibaigu, and mediocre Azu...these people are more than handsome, and their righteousness and heroism are slightly inferior.
The key is still hard work.

"There are so many dragon and tiger martial arts masters. Just find a few stand-ins. Even if you have to shoot a full-face shot, if the actors temporarily practice their pretense, won't the post-editing be OK? Why do they have to have real skills?"

Lin Jiajun has seen Wang Jin's methods. Just find a few foreigners from Lan Kwai Fong, and through makeup and editing, they can shoot scenes like Real Madrid vs. Barcelona.
For acting, it’s OK to just put on makeup, punches and embroidered legs. Does it mean that you must have a master if you shoot a master, and you must use a ghost to shoot a ghost?

When filming Godzilla, do we need to find wild Ultraman to watch the show?
"Of course you're right in normal circumstances, but this is a fashion show, and there's an alley duel. In order to ensure the effect, the actors are required to go through a long shot directly, so actors who can really kung fu are the best."

As Wang Jin said, he casually took out a small notebook from his pocket, opened a page and handed it to Lin Jiajun: "Brother Jun, let's take a look. If you are interested, I really invite you to come. This play does not require acting skills. Keep a straight face and play cool until the end is OK."

Lin Jiajun took it casually, and saw the so-called 'script', only a few dozens of words, introduced the outline of the story, and below that there are a few leading character tags, such as cold, fierce and so on.

Hong Kong Island movies and Hollywood are two completely different models. The latter industrial assembly line, each step is clear and fine enough, like a production line, does not require workers to have too high skills to assemble a medium-level movie. product;

As for Hong Kong movies, they seem to be relatively "simple". The scripts and crews are all improvised. It's pretty good to have a script outline of about a hundred words and the character of the characters. Many films are purely made by directors and screenwriters who have a sudden inspiration and then shoot the film at the same time. While writing the script, even the director, screenwriter, and actors don't even know what to perform in the next scene. It all depends on the superb scene control abilities of the producers, directors, etc.

Therefore, in just two to thirty years, countless classics and countless bad movies have appeared.

Closer to home, Lin Jiajun looked at it for a while, and was slightly taken aback.

Ma Jun, Wang Bao, A Ji...

"Slay the wolf?"

"Yeah, to say that the protagonists have different fates, leading to entangled and intertwined fates, I think this is too literary and artistic, but the plot is simple and crude, just playing." Wang Jin said.

Lin Jiajun remembers that the movie Yuan Kong was directed by Yip Weixing, the same person who later filmed Master Yip. How could he become Wang Jin?
"It's also a coincidence. The last time I had dinner with that fat cat, a script written by one of his staff, the fat cat recommended it to me, saying that the style is good and suitable for making movies, but he is a literary director, so he is not suitable. Ask me if I have any questions. Not interested. I asked Mr. Jiang, and Mr. Jiang thought it would be better to follow the trend and make some gambling films, so I invested in this film myself."

Wang Jin shrugged: "Speaking of which, I still want to thank you, Brother Jun, for asking me to shoot a ball game last time and allowing me to make money. If this movie is carefully budgeted, it can be shot with 500 million yuan."

"Understood, so, just trick an ordinary person like me into filming, and even save the stars' salary." Lin Jiajun laughed.

"Hehehe, it's almost there." Wang Jin glanced at him and stammered, and said, "This drama is purely male, and there are no outstanding female characters. Otherwise, you brothers and sisters will come together."

"The police are taking private work outside, and they have to report to the police. The process is very troublesome." Lin Jiajun said.

He hadn't thought about developing into the showbiz industry. There are indeed many formalities and rules that hinder the police from acting. However, if he can build a good relationship with the circle and have some friends, it will still be helpful for Xiaojieba's future development.

"Think about it, don't rush it for a day or two. Anyway, I just have a preliminary idea now. If you are interested, please call me."

Wang Jin knew very well that if he couldn't find a protagonist like Lin Jiajun who was "good-looking, heroic and capable of fighting", and the key was a cheap one, it would be better not to film this movie.
A first-line big name like Liang Zihua, just one, would cost two to three million yuan, even an old star like Ti Lung, who was a bit out of date, would need hundreds of thousands,
There is only so much investment in the whole film, and it is really unaffordable to hire stars.

"Let's shoot the commercial first today, I'll think about it..." Lin Jiajun looked at the time and said, "Director Wang, I'll ask you to take care of the details. I'll go back to the police station first."

"OK, don't worry."

"Listen to the director." Lin Jiajun said.

"I know, I know! Go and do your business." Little Stutter nodded vigorously.

……

……

Lin Jiajun had just returned to the police station, before he had time to drink, he received a call from Li Wenbin.

"Ajun, come to the rooftop."

Forehead?
Lin Jiajun was stunned for a moment, took the elevator up to the top floor, and then came to the top floor rooftop through the special passage for plumbers,
As soon as he opened the door and came out, he saw Li Wenbin wearing a windbreaker, standing by the handrail on the edge of the rooftop, leaving a deep silhouette of himself.

"Li Sir, when did you become so fond of posing? The typhoon is so windy, be careful of catching cold." Lin Jiajun bent down and walked through a row of central air-conditioning water pipes, and came behind Li Wenbin.

"It's windy, so wear a windbreaker."

Li Wenbin turned around and saw Lin Jiajun. He smiled slightly and made a joke. Then he tightened the collar of his windbreaker and said, "There is something very secret. It is more convenient to talk here."

"Isn't it related to Chen Jincheng being killed?"

Lin Jiajun shrugged, spread his hands and said: "I read the file, and the person who does it is a real master. I can't handle it."

"You don't need to take care of it. The police force and the Security Bureau are not going to investigate this matter."

Li Wenbin's tone was calm, but the content of his words was somewhat shocking.

Such an important prisoner died, and the police prison car was robbed, but they were not prepared to investigate?

If it gets out, the entire police force and even the Hong Kong Island government will be scolded to death by the media and the public. No wonder he came in person and chose such a place where he has nowhere to go.

Lin Jiajun understood in seconds.

Chen Jincheng's death was acquiesced by the police force and even the top management.

Because he was involved with too many secrets, once these secrets really broke out, the rich and powerful standing behind him would naturally be in trouble;
However, the police force and the Security Bureau are also holding a hot potato in their hands. If they are not handled properly, it is likely to cause a crazy counterattack from those behind him, which will directly lead to social unrest.

Fenghua changed hands, Chen Jincheng died, and the whole matter came to an end for the time being. The game between the two sides is a long-term process. Maybe no one can eat the other in the end, and a dynamic balance will always be maintained.

Seeing Lin Jiajun's silence, Li Wenbin thought he was emotional. After thinking about it, he said sincerely, "When I was young, I once doubted myself and thought whether the things I did were right or wrong. Later I figured it out. When making chess pieces, if you think about how to be a chess player, or even think about whether you should play this game, it will definitely be painful, and in the end you won’t even be able to make the chess pieces well.”

Lin Jiajun smiled: "Sir, if you have something to do, you can order it. You don't need so much foreshadowing. I am a policeman. I will do what the police should do. I will do what the police should not do. reject."

He is not as complicated as Li Wenbin at all. He usually behaves in just four words: with a clear conscience.

Chen Jincheng is not a good person, he messed up the social order, and the police force had another task, so they arrested him.

As for who is involved after being caught, what kind of game is involved, whether he lives or dies is beyond his control. Does he need a small supervisor to maintain justice in the world?
What Li Wenbin said just now is actually not wrong. The chess pieces are just asking for trouble when they think about the players.
The name 'chess piece' may not sound very nice,

To put it another way, whatever class you are in, you should do what the class should do, and use your heart as much as you can; it is impossible to be perfect as a human being, as long as you are worthy of your conscience.

"It is true that there is a big matter involving the reform of the civil service organization on Hong Kong Island. However, in order to handle the case, you may have to suffer some grievances, so I will ask for your opinion in advance. Of course, the grievances are temporary."

"so serious?"

Li Wenbin took out a piece of information from under his windbreaker: "Have you heard of Kokubu Prison?"

Kokubu Prison?

Lin Jiajun subconsciously felt that it sounded familiar, but he really couldn't remember it for a while.

After receiving the document, it turned out to be a proposal in the Legislative Council.
Proposal on private capital's involvement in the prison field, and a feasibility study report.

Looking at the date above, it was proposed at the end of last year, and it has been more than half a year.

Private prisons are nothing new. The Great Beautiful Country has been doing this for many years. Currently, there are [-]% of private prisons in the country.

There are also some in Europe and South America.

This proposal and feasibility report are based on the experience of the Great Beautiful Country.

In the report, the benefits of private prisons are clear.

First, it can help the government reduce its financial burden.

Civil servants on Hong Kong Island are paid well, and they like to imitate Europe and the United States, and talk about humanity. The welfare and living conditions in prisons are ridiculously good, and some poor people at the bottom cannot catch up with prisons.

But for the government, it is a huge financial expenditure.

Let’s just talk about personnel salaries: Prison guards and management logistics are all civil servants with high salaries and benefits. After retirement, the prison guards can at least get a sheriff, which is a huge pension.

Second, the management method is more flexible.

Running prisons by private enterprises can bypass many government regulations and rigid regulations, and use a more "humane and scientific" method to reform prisoners in a targeted and flexible manner;
Third, although there are prison factories in public prisons, the efficiency is too low, and many of them are even operating at a loss.
If it is run by private individuals, I dare not say that it will definitely make money. At the very least, it can be self-sufficient in profits and losses, and the government does not need to lose money.

The government only needs to give a certain amount of subsidies every year according to the number of prisoners.
