Ch- actor in the hall of my -ang place。
It was really late and he was looking for a place to spend the night. He saw the -ang place (that is a hostel) and entered, but he was paralyzed when he realiced that this wasn't a hostel, but a factory. He was looking at the big sign of the living room that said "Chang's Weapons Factory" The upper part of the walls of the room were covered with blades and the lower part covered with samurais sword.
He retreated slowly while was whispering "nope, nope nope, ohhh nope nope nope"
Factory

Chad is sleeping in the front bedroom of the ang location. He hears the FACTORY horn blow signaling that it's time to start work. panic! He grabs his razor blade for a quick shave, then grabs his samurai sword and he's out the door on his way to work.


Georg Lohrer

Charlie Chaplin, movie "Modern Times", he works as a simple worker (gear) in a big FACTORY (the machine), stapling razor blades that they can be forged into a samurai sword.
Of course with all the noises and especially the smell you have at a metal treating factory's shop-floor.

Charlie Chaplin is the maths classroom of my old school.
A series of razor blades passes along on a conveyor belt in front of him.
He rhythmically slices the edge of each one with a samurai sword. There's a satisfying industrial clunk sound.
It's a FACTORY line.

This reminds of the 飞 character, so my scene is
"Ch actor is getting changing in the bedroom. Today he's flying to visit the factory in England as the airplanes they are making are coming down with missing wings and some inverted parts."

My ch actor going through the Droid Factory in Star Wars II avoiding flying razor blades and knocking them down with his light saber.
