37 Chapter 37 One Party Imprisoned (seeking recommended collection) (1/2)
At the beginning of November, it took 4 days to audition. Except for the actor Lancher's Amir Khan, who had not entered the crew in the field, all the large and small roles in the movie were already in place.As for the background boards of passers-by who have no lines, naturally, there is no need to find extra. With so many people behind the scenes, it is definitely more than enough to only use guest appearances.
In the next week, Lehmann, apart from letting the determined actors familiarize themselves with the script and practice the opposite, was to find a location.
Eros International Pictures has found several suitable targets, and Lehman needs to choose and confirm.
The first one to examine is the poor and dilapidated family in Raja.
The group of people gathered together and began field surveys.
Only less than an hour's drive from Bollywood, the surrounding scene suddenly began to run down.
This made Lehmann who looked out of the car window all the way extremely frightened. He seemed to be sitting on a time shuttle, directly from one world to the other.
It’s hard to imagine that if you step back a few minutes, it’s still the modern prosperity with tall buildings and people flowing like weaving; but now, the sky is full of rubbish everywhere, and the road is directly turned into a dirt road, and the raised dust can cover people. Sight.
The surrounding houses are all very low and arranged in disorder, looking like dilapidated houses that should be abandoned.
All kinds of things are stacked in the passage between the houses, making it difficult for pedestrians to get off their feet.
”It's right here, isn't it?” After reaching a slum in Mumbai, the group abandoned their vehicles and started walking.
”Yes.” Dejean Kumar had already covered his mouth and nose with a scarf and replied vaguely.He originally suggested that Lehman set the scene to shoot, but he refused and insisted on real shooting.No way, he had to follow here.
Seeing large swarms of flies flying here, and an inexplicable smell mixed in the muddy air, he almost broke down.
The group walked for about less than two minutes and arrived at the house negotiated with the owner in advance.
Lehmann stood at the door, gestured, and Dejean Kumar went in to communicate.
After a while, everyone entered this room.
The wooden door squeaked open, and Lehman began to look carefully at this location—the so-called “family apprentice” walls are probably like this. The whole room is not small, there are four rooms, but there are few furniture. Decorated, there is a stacked wooden bed on each side of the room, and a thin layer of bed sheets are stacked on the bed messily, exposing the mat below; and the hall where they are only has a very low wooden table, one There are no stool-style seats, and they are placed alone in the direction of the kitchen.
Lehman, Thomas, Dejean Kumar and two Eros International staff, one as a driver and the other as a handyman, stood in the house like this.
Because of the poor location of the house, the outside sunlight basically does not get in. Therefore, even if it is still in broad daylight, the house is not bright and gray.
And because the kitchen stove was about to burn, the surrounding walls were also blackened.
The owner of the house is a thin middle-aged man, and he has an equally thin wife.After they came in, the two of them began to busily fetch water and make tea for them at a well behind the aisle, very enthusiastic.
”Thank you.” The middle-aged man carefully offered the carefully boiled milk tea, and Lehmann took it and thanked him politely.
For the owner of the house, he could not understand what Lehman and others said, but he could feel the kindness, so his face was also full of smiles.
”Do you still want to see the next house?” Djean-Kulma didn't drink milk tea, and just watched from the side. At this time, seeing Lehmann and others have finished visiting the house, he asked.
”Just this one, tell them whether you want to act or not, because Laga's family also needs actors to play.” Lehman put down the milk tea after drinking, handed the cup back to the owner, and responded.
Dejean Kumar went to communicate, but Lehmann took Thomas along the way he came and went outside.
He hadn't been in contact with such a place before, nor had Thomas, they needed to see more.
Unconsciously, after leaving the alley, he came to a river.
The river has been covered by a large amount of rubbish, and the drainage holes continue to dump sewage into it, and sometimes pedestrians dump the rubbish in the trash can.
There was a foul smell in the air, a smell similar to rotten fermentation.
This kind of smell subconsciously made Thomas cover his mouth and nose, but Lyman who was silent on the side spoke, ”Thomas, have you seen it?” His voice was low, ”I want to use a documentary texture to tell. Laga’s story, his family, and his misfortunes truly present every detail. So I hope the lens can show the graininess of life, the color is best black and white, just like the silent films in the past, there is a kind of deduction The dramatic texture.”
