PS: I'm stuck. I rarely get stuck, but it's really hard to write now. I've been holding it back for a long time and I'm in no condition. Maybe it's because it's about to be finished.
On September 19, Wang Shang brought the main members of the "Shawshank Redemption" crew to Lanti Prison in Shanghai.
It is impossible to go to prison. Just like the plot in the movie, everyone is waiting outside the prison for Liang Jiahui to be released after serving his sentence.
Not only Wang Shang and others, but also Liang Jiahui's relatives and friends. In addition, reporters who had already received the news or guessed it all came to the prison gate at this time, "Shawshank is released after serving his sentence, and Director Wang leads the crew to greet him."
, this must be a very good news.
The time was precise. At 9 o'clock, Liang Jiahui had a farewell meal with the blessings of many inmates and officially left this place of redemption.
"Welcome out."
"Congratulations on being free."
"The way to salvation is right here. Hahaha"
The sound of welcome, the sound of the shutter, and the flash light all merge into one.
Liang Jiahui spent half a year in prison. When he came out today, he was neither decadent nor vicissitudes of life. Instead, his hair was meticulously combed, his eyes were bright, and he was full of energy.
"It seems that you are well prepared." Wang Shangxiao patted Liang Jiahui on the shoulder and said.
Liang Jiahui said: "You have high hopes, and you will do your best."
Huang Qiu Sheng immediately struck with a strange spirit and said: "It's so pretentious, hahaha~~~"
Naturally, the crew would not miss such a good publicity opportunity, so a strange scene began to appear at the prison gate - an on-site press conference was actually held.
The reporter's focus is naturally Liang Jiahui.
"Mr. Liang, I would like to ask you what you want to say the most after experiencing this half year of prison life?"
"Well, this..." Liang Jiahui lowered his head and thought for a while. After a long time, he raised his head and said, "Everyone must be responsible for their own actions. Even big shots and big stars must still abide by the most basic spiritual power of our country——
The spirit of the rule of law. Therefore, I was sentenced to half a year in prison and worked hard to improve myself during this time..."
Liang Jiahui knew that being imprisoned had greatly damaged his image, so he naturally had to find a way to establish himself at this time. It was easiest to establish himself as a person who worked hard to reform, and at the same time, he flattered the law.
Gain social understanding and recognition.
Although what Liang Jiahui said was very grand, the reporters wrote it down verbatim, and the recording naturally did not miss anything.
"The protagonist in "The Shawshank Redemption" that I will soon play is a man who was sentenced to prison. Although he was imprisoned, he was not decadent, but was filled with hope that was different from other prisoners. The hope of freedom
.Although I am in prison, because of this movie, I am not decadent, but work hard to find my own way of salvation..."
Liang Jiahui talked eloquently, and he looked nothing like a prisoner who had just been released from prison. The reporter was also taking pictures and taking notes.
That night, Wang Shang and others held a banquet for Liang Jiahui. At this time, the news about Liang Jiahui's release from prison was already known throughout the country. Many entertainment headlines reported the matter, and Liang Jiahui's "social responsibility"
, the words "spirit of law" have become the headline text of many reports.
This also saved Liang Jiahui a lot of reputation.
For the first time, I got part of the plot of "The Shawshank Redemption" from Liang Jiahui. According to Liang Jiahui, "The Shawshank Redemption" is a story about a prisoner seeking redemption in prison.
Two days after Liang Jiahui reunited with his family, he went directly to Cangshan Prison in Sichuan to officially begin his journey to the "Shawshank" prison.

October 1, 2014, China’s National Day.
Datang International's "Mecha Knight" has been fully released in China. This is the fifth IMAX-3D movie and has been widely praised since its release.
"Count Vampire" was finally released in Europe the day before yesterday, with a box office of 1.48 billion US dollars. Although it did not exceed the 1.5 billion US dollars mark, it was enough to cheer up its production company and also make a sluggish European film industry.
Be inspired by it.
In addition, "Lord of the Rings 3" has the foreshadowing of the first two films, and the movie-going momentum is very strong. The box office in the first ten days exceeds the box office of "The Avengers" in the first ten days by 80 million US dollars. In North America, the box office is 80 million U.S. dollars.
The "Hollywood Reporter" optimistically predicted that its total box office should reach 1.7 billion US dollars, which is definitely a violent money-making machine.
The movie's huge sales naturally led to booming sales of peripheral products, which is no worse than "Avengers".
At this time, Disney once again obtained the script of "Avengers - Age of Ultron" from Wang Shang, and has begun to announce that filming is about to begin, and is expected to officially inform all "Avengers" fans in mid-2016
They met. This news naturally made many fans like it.
Good news about North American movies has further stimulated the North American film industry, making it more prosperous.
Compared with the film industry in North America, China and the European Union lag far behind, and more and more people are seeking to fight against the cultural aggression of the North American film industry.
On the Chinese side, Wang Shang had already made preliminary plans during the IMAX technical consultation on the last day "The Shawshank Redemption" was launched.

At the end of October, in Cangshan Prison, the crew was arranging some props on the roof of the prison.
Asphalt, mops, cigarettes, wine...
The scene that will be filmed next is the scene of laborers on the roof. In this scene, the protagonist Shawshank overhears the prison officer talking about property inheritance, wills and tax payments. Shawshank said that he has a way to make the prison
The prison officer legally waived this large amount of tax. After some initial difficulties, the prison officer finally believed Shawshank's statement and agreed to entrust Shawshank to help him handle the tax exemption. In exchange, Shawshank and the prisoners he worked with
Each person got 3 bottles of beer.
This scene was the first turning point in Shawshank's life. He rose from a lowly, deprived, and dispensable prisoner to a "useful person" and began to influence the development of the entire movie.
This is a very crucial scene.
The props were quickly prepared and filming officially started soon.
The sun is high and scorching, and all the prisoners working on the roof can feel the scorching weather and sweat profusely. The clothes worn by the prisoners are all specially obtained vests. Under the scorching sun, the bronze skin oozes from the makeup.
Heavy sweat.
However, the harsh environment did not make the prisoners feel painful. Instead, they felt very excited because it was a rare opportunity to look out at the scenery outside the prison. This opportunity was hard-won, so they cherished it.
And this group of actors are all excellent in acting, so they naturally expressed the expectation and excitement very well.
But soon Wang Shang called for a break because Liang Jiahui made suggestions to Wang Shang.
"Wait for the beer drinking scene. I think the sunset is the best shot for this scene. Imagine the prisoner sitting on the roof, drinking cold beer, enjoying the cool autumn wind, and looking up at the sunset in the distance. Isn't this great?" Liang Jiahui
Open your arms as if you are enjoying the scene in the context.
"Not bad! That's a suggestion." Wang Shang thought for a while and nodded, "Then let's take a rest first."
Sichuan is famous for its hot weather. In September, the heat wave was still rolling, so the crew went downstairs to enjoy the air conditioning and wait for the sunset.
"On this hot summer day, a group of criminals decorating the roof of the building, under the morning glow and in the breeze, enjoyed cool beer and the strictest protection of the prison. This kind of thing has never happened in the prison.
.”
"We are sitting here, drinking beer, under the sun, looking out at the wild fields. At this moment, we feel like free people. We feel like we are decorating our own roof. We are like the creator."
"Shawshank, something is a little different at this moment. He has a strange smile on his face and looks at us drinking his beer..."
As the main voice-over of the film, Jiang Ruide (Director Chen) is changing the voice-over lines on the roof. It is no longer spring, no longer a factory.
After reading these rooftop lines in his charming voice, he asked everyone: "How do you like this line? Do you feel it?"
"Not bad, but you can still change it. Well, there is something wrong with the intonation. Try to slow down a little." Someone quickly pointed out.
The group also became interested and started discussing the lines, which was very lively.
Liang Jiahui sat next to Wang Shang and said, "Director Wang, I really like the lines in this movie, I really do."
"The high wall in prison is really interesting. At first you hate it, then you get used to it. After a while, you become dependent on it."
"I have to remind myself that some birds can't be kept in cages. Their feathers are so beautiful that when they fly away, you feel like it's a sin to keep them in a cage, but you feel lonely without them."
, but I just miss my friends..."
Liang Jiahui shook his head and read two sentences absently, and then said softly: "I like these words very much..."
