Chapter 15 Settled
Kowloon Walled City.
The Mazda was parked outside.
Although I had seen photos of Kowloon Walled City in my previous life, seeing it in person now is even more shocking than the photos.
The dilapidated fortress stands out starkly against the towering buildings that surround it.
Shift your gaze upwards.
The densely packed buildings, which are somewhat suffocating, grow wildly upwards without any pattern and are crammed together crookedly.
Wu Tianyao leaned against the front of the car, smoking half a cigarette, when the black Mercedes with license plate MT9527 pulled up beside him.
"Great reporter, you're right on time."
Wu Tianyao stubbed out his cigarette, glanced at his watch, and saw it was exactly three o'clock.
Wang Qing had changed her clothes; she wore jeans with a T-shirt and a shirt over them, and a Leica camera hung around her neck with a very eye-catching red logo.
Wu Tianyao glanced at Wang Qing, took a baseball cap out of the car and gave it to her, along with a face mask.
after all.
She is indeed exceptionally beautiful and has a remarkable presence. If she doesn't conceal it at all, it could cause trouble if something unexpected happens because of her appearance.
Wang Qing didn't refuse and covered herself up.
Wu Tianyao took out his mobile phone and dialed the number Li Rui had given him.
After waiting a few minutes, four people came out.
"Brother Dao".
Wu Tianyao looked at the middle-aged man in the floral shirt at the head of the group and offered him a cigarette: "I am Wu Tianyao, the one Uncle Li mentioned."
"Um."
With his hands in his pockets, Daozai glanced at Wu Tianyao and his group: "Brother Rui has already told Brother Zhan that I'll be with you today."
Wu Tianyao called Wang Qing over, and the two sides finalized the details again.
Daozai didn't waste any words: "Once you're inside, you can't just take pictures of everything. You have to tell us before you take pictures, and we can only take them if you give us permission. Before you leave, we have to check the camera before you can take it out."
He paused for a moment, then added, "If you just take pictures randomly, you might not even get a good shot."
After confirming that everything was alright, Daozai led them inside.
Go inside.
The village was almost completely dark.
The narrow alley was very cramped, and the dense tangled wires overhead looked like a fishing net, creating a sense of oppression.
The damp ground seemed to be dripping water forever, and the clotheslines extending from the residents made the already dim alley even darker.
A peculiar smell permeated the air.
It's a complex mix of smells: the stench of sewers, the putrid odor of piled-up garbage, dampness, and the smells wafting from food processing workshops.
Daozai walked in front, Wu Tianyao and his group in the middle, and three henchmen followed behind.
I just walked in a bit.
A scream came from the alley. Wang Qing instinctively turned her head to look, but Wu Tianyao reached out and pulled her back.
Wang Qing shrugged and followed them inside.
Daozi glanced at them out of the corner of his eye, then smiled without saying a word.
As I walked through the alley, people kept greeting Daozai, which showed that they must have a lot of influence in the walled city.
The walled city is like a miniature city, complete with all the essentials.
Unlicensed dental clinics are the most numerous, and convenience stores, entertainment venues, and other similar establishments are also present.
Even schools.
The subsequent filming process went very smoothly.
Wang Qing was also very honest and did not do anything foolish or reckless, following the rules that had been given in advance.
Wu Tianyao wasn't good at photography, but he was impressed by Wang Qing's impressive skills as she took pictures with her camera.
Her composition skills are quite good, and the pictures she takes actually have a certain charm.
Even a picture of a dentist on the wall can be photographed by her using different angles to create a unique feeling.
We arrived at the rooftop terrace.
Looking at the dense array of television antennas that resembled a steel forest, she immediately raised her camera to capture the moment.
far away.
Just then, a passenger plane swooped down, completely different from what I saw on Yongning Street. It seemed to fly right above my head, creating an extremely oppressive feeling.
On the edge of the rooftop.
Wang Qing raised her camera, aimed it at the distant sunset, and pressed the shutter. The iconic Leica click rang out, and the image was captured.
At last.
Wang Qing stood in the alley of the walled city and waited for another passenger plane to swoop down. After capturing this classic moment, she finished the scene.
"This must be your first time here."
After checking the camera, Daozai handed it back to Wang Qing: "Try the special dog meat hot pot here. Don't be fooled by the poor environment, the taste is absolutely top-notch, you can't find it anywhere else."
Wu Tianyao smiled and declined, "We have other things to do, so we won't keep you any longer."
He doesn't have the leisure to be carefree right now; if something goes wrong and he can't get out, it will be troublesome.
Wang Qing was initially interested, but after hearing Wu Tianyao's words, she could only nod.
Daozai didn't insist and personally saw them off.
"Thanks for your help, Brother Dao."
Wu Tianyao pulled out three large gold bull bills: "Take these to the brothers for tea. Thank you for your hard work. Come again when you have the chance."
"Hahaha.."
Knife laughed, finding Wu Tianyao amusing, and waved for his underling to accept the money: "Hurry up and thank Yaozi."
Thank you.
The three younger brothers thanked him.
"Let's go!"
Wu Tianyao gave a shout, and then he and Wang Qing drove away one after the other.
A tea restaurant.
The two sat down.
Wang Qing took the camera off and placed it aside: "Not bad, not bad, you didn't lie to me, you kept your promise, so I'll keep mine too."
"Shall I call Boss Wang over?" Wu Tianyao immediately called out to Wang Heting.
Wang Heting arrived quickly.
He once suspected that Wu Tianyao was exaggerating, how could he be so efficient as to finish it in just one day?
It wasn't until he saw Wang Qing that he dared to believe it was real, without a doubt.
Next.
Wang Heting and Wang Qing started chatting.
The senior reporter was indeed a professional, and he did not do things perfunctorily. He designed and wrote the photography theme for this trip to the dock himself.
The filming was divided into three parts.
One part was filming dockworkers, the second part was interviewing dockworkers, and the third part was an interview with Wang Heting about his own business philosophy.
This interview was presented in the form of a short video, lasting approximately ten minutes in total.
The communication between the two parties was quite pleasant, and a decision was quickly reached.
"Let's schedule the shoot for next Monday," Wang Qing said, picking up her camera and hanging it around her neck. She glanced at Wu Tianyao. "I'll be busy developing photos these next few days."
Wu Tianyao thought Wang Qing was quite understanding.
During their conversation, they learned that he wanted to start a herbal tea business, and currently only had a small herbal tea shop, so they set aside time for Wu Tianyao to prepare.
After Wang Qing left.
Wang Heting handed over a premium pack of Liquor liquor and pulled Wu Tianyao along, saying, "Ah Yao, I absolutely have to have a good drink with you today!"
He gestured to the driver to get some liquor from the trunk: "Ah Yao, try some Fenjiu from inland China, the light-aroma type, it tastes really good!"
"Of course, no problem."
Wu Tianyao nodded happily.
After finishing a glass of Fenjiu liquor, the two men came out laughing and went their separate ways.
Fei Sha was waiting outside in his car when he picked up Wu Tianyao: "Brother Yao, how's it going?!"
"It went very smoothly."
Wu Tianyao rolled down the car window: "Pick out a few hardworking and reliable underlings, and get ready to start work."
