After that meal, Zhou Xingchi went to chat with the chef every week. He only has some new movie ideas now, but he has no clue about the specific plot, so he has to get inspiration from chat.

"The God of Cookery" is of great significance to Zhou Xingchi. "Journey to the West" is the first work he participated in directing, and "The God of Cooking" is his first film as the main script creator.

Just when Zhou Xingchi was thinking about the script, Kang Jianfei's "Resident Evil" had already started.

April 1st, April Fool's Day.

In front of an office building in Tseung Kwan O Film and Television City, more than a dozen actors and hundreds of crew members are gathering to hold the opening ceremony of worship. There are more than 20 media reporters who have been approved to come in for interviews.

Kang Jianfei stood at the front, with Xu Ke, Wu Ruiqing, Zhou Cheng and other assistant directors behind him. There were 8 assistant directors in this film alone, as well as a lot of photographers such as Zhong Zhiwen and Du Kefeng.

The actors include Li Jiaxin, who plays the heroine Alice; Tom Cruise, let's take him as the hero.

Aishwarya plays the female member of the assault team, Ren. The background of this story is in India, and naturally there must be an Indian beauty;

Zhao Wenyu played Matt, the one who deliberately leaked the zombie virus. He was an actor who was forced into the fortress by Xu Ke;

Sophie Marceau also makes an appearance in the film, making a cameo appearance as Hive researcher Lisa, in the film she is Tom Cruise's sister;

There are also some secondary supporting roles, arranged according to the ratio of 1:1:1 among Chinese, Americans, and Indians. For example, Carina Chow played a small role of a female villain.

The young actress of the Red Queen is named Niha Darvi. She was born in Pakistan and later moved to Mumbai with her parents. She is only 7 years old this year. In order to build momentum for the film, Kang Jianfei specially asked people to advertise in Indian newspapers, and finally selected a little girl to play the popular queen from thousands of documents.

The 7-year-old girl was chosen because this character has not yet appeared in "Resident Evil 2". If you find a 10-year-old girl, then when you wait two or three years to shoot the second part, it is estimated that she will become a big loli.

Kang Jianfei led everyone in the front to worship the gods. Tom Cruise, carrying incense, was quite novel, and pretended to follow him. After worshipping, he asked Sophie Marceau, "Do Hong Kong people have to have this kind of ceremony when making movies?"

"Yes, just like we say God bless, this is their tradition." Sophie Marceau explained casually.

"An interesting tradition." Tom Cruise laughed.

The master of ceremonies suddenly shouted: "The worship of God is over, remove the red cloth!"

Kang Jianfei walked up to the camera, stretched out his hand and uncovered the red cloth, revealing the long camera: "I announce that "Resident Evil" is officially launched!"

The next step was to be interviewed by reporters. After a long delay, filming didn't really start until the afternoon.

Hong Kong shoots all indoor scenes, and everyone is moved to the office building. Several offices here have been renovated, and even one of the non-load-bearing walls has been smashed, just to make it a laboratory full of science and technology.

Zhao Wenyu, wearing a chemical-resistant suit, carefully operated the robotic arm to take out the test tube. Then he put the t-virus and the antidote into a suitcase, and then threw one of the tubes away and shattered it on the ground.

"Crack!"

With Kang Jianfei's shouting, the first scene is a perfect end, and the next is the group scene where the red queen closes all channels.

The actors in these scenes are all supporting roles, and there are as many as 20 people. There are more than 30 dragon suits wearing scientific research uniforms as human backgrounds, and there are large wolf dogs locked in a row of iron cages.

There are many Europeans and Americans living in Hong Kong, as well as many Indian Asams, all of which stem from the colonial rule of the British. Most of them are ordinary, because the Hong Kong film industry is developed, and some of them also joined it, specializing in special roles - those foreigners in Hong Kong films.

The foreign researchers in several group dramas were the ones who acted in them.

James is one of them. His father used to be a British sailor. He did not return to China after retiring, but stayed in Hong Kong to be happy and unrestrained. So his mother took him to look for relatives, but instead of finding his father, he even spent all the travel expenses back to his hometown.

Later, when his mother died of illness, James had to earn a living by himself when he was in his teens. He has now signed a contract with Oriental Entertainment Agency, specializing in the role of ghosts in film and television works, and occasionally shoots some commercials, which are the kind of commercials that use foreigners to enhance their products.

In the long corridor, James walked quickly with his suit on his arm, carrying a cup of coffee, humming an unknown English ditty.

Zhao Wenyu walked past him with his backpack on his back. The backpack just hit James' hand and smashed the coffee all over him.

"Crack!"

Kang Jianfei shouted, "James, you're too deliberate in spreading the coffee, do it again."

"Ok, my mistake." James quickly admitted his mistake. He has nearly a minute of scenes in this film, which is already a big role for him. It is a good opportunity that must be seized, and maybe he will become famous because of it.

Again, coffee spilled on his chest this time. James glanced at Zhao Wenyu angrily. After realizing that the other party didn't say sorry, he smiled and sarcastically said, "Thank you, brother!"

Even if this scene is over, after restarting the machine, he continues to move forward and walks to the front of an elevator. There are already several people here, wearing researchers' overalls, with Indian, European, American and Chinese faces.

A dark-skinned Indian nurse turned to look at James with a kind smile on his face~lightnovelpub.net~ James was a little embarrassed and explained, "Someone else did it."

"Crack!"

The second group scene ends, followed by the elevator scene, where James and the Indian nurse, and several others are trapped in the elevator.

These company group shows only took six or seven minutes in the cinema. But when the actual shooting, it takes about two to three days, which is still fast. After the filming, the group cannot leave, they have to dress up as zombies and fight to the death with the heroine and the team members.

Zombie scenes are the most time-consuming. The crew hired more than ten makeup artists alone, and it took more than three hours to make up zombies every day.

"Omg, it's so cool!" James said after looking at his face in the mirror after putting on makeup.

"Clap clap clap!"

Kang Jianfei clapped his hands and walked over, and said to the zombies, "Come here, I'll show you how the zombies behave."

Everyone gathered around, including the makeup artist.

Kang Jianfei raised his hands and walked forward stiffly with his limbs. He opened his mouth and bared his teeth from time to time, and his eyes were full of dazed expressions. Then he suddenly accelerated a little bit and limped towards a staff member.

"Ah!" The staff was startled, and subconsciously ducked back.

Kang Jianfei said with a smile, "OK, that's it, let's practice first."
