Chapter 386: Returning Home
It has been ten days since Li Mo and the others came to the United States.
That night, after Xue Xiaolu finished a major scene in the Empire State Building in "Beijing Meets Seattle", Li Mo found her on the way back and had a long talk with her.
Although the content of the long conversation was not known to the third person, in the next few days, all the staff in the crew who were familiar with Li Mo's work style could clearly feel that Xue Xiaolu's work style had changed significantly.
Although she is as strict as ever with the actors' performances and the cooperation of all departments on the set, at least before the start of filming, she will communicate with the relevant people and explain her work intentions to everyone......
Although the ability of the staff of various departments of the crew has not improved by leaps and bounds, at least the atmosphere between the various departments within the crew has eased a lot.
Take the private words of a certain crew member, that is: "I used to work with Director Xue, I was tired and I don't know why, I don't know what to do, but now I know that we have been busy, tired, where did we spend our efforts......"
In the eyes of people who are more familiar with Li Mo's way of working, it is easy to see the traces of Li Mo's consistent work habits behind Xue Xiaolu's change.
In short, although Xue Xiaolu still has her own set of directing requirements, the way she works on the set is changing towards a more efficient and team-friendly way.
For all this, Li Mo is naturally happy to see it come to fruition.
This at least shows that Xue Xiaolu is not a stupid person.
She is well aware of her strengths and weaknesses, and will make changes according to the reality of the situation in a timely manner to adapt to the environment she is facing.
To be honest, such a director who understands current affairs, knows how to advance and retreat, and is willing to self-adjust, whether it is for Li Mo or Molong Media, is much better than the kind of director who only knows how to pursue the expression of personal will.
Even if the talent and ability of the former are not as good as the latter......
In the past ten days in the United States, under Li Mo's 'sitting', the crew of "Beijing Meets Seattle" broke out with unprecedented efficiency.
Not only did the main role of the male protagonist be completed within a week, but also the role of the heroine Liu Yifei was also completed, and the rest of the part can be processed by using the set or cutout after returning to China, but in general, "Beixi" in this time and space has basically completed 90% of the content so far.
Although Xue Xiaolu also took some staff to finish the work in North America, in the follow-up shooting, Liu Yifei's work has been basically completed.
Originally, Li Mo expected that Xue Xiaolu's "Beixi" should be able to complete post-production in October, just in time to take over his "Happy Death Day", but he didn't expect that when he asked Xue Xiaolu about the post-production time a few days ago, the young lady directly gave him an answer in early December......
Li Mo forgot that not everyone is like him, who has a foundation from his previous life in his head.
At this time, if Li Mo interferes in the editing of "North West", he will basically tear his face with Xue Xiaolu in the future, which is obviously contrary to the original intention of expanding the lineup of Molong's director team, so Li Mo simply has a heart, and she has to toss.
…… It's a big deal, it's a big deal that we're on the Spring Festival or Valentine's Day......
…………
The plane from Vancouver to the imperial capital had not yet taken off, Li Mo was sitting by the window wearing sunglasses, holding his cheeks with his hands on a tired face, looking at the tarmac outside the window in a daze.
I don't know how long it took, and suddenly a slightly cramped female voice came from the side: "I'm sorry, can you please do me a favor?"
Li Mo turned his head and looked, it turned out to be the female passenger sitting next to her, the weight of the box she carried was a little light, she didn't have enough strength, she tried a few times but still couldn't put the box on the luggage rack, so she had no choice but to ask for help.
Li Mo smiled apologetically, stood up, and helped the other party put the suitcase up.
The female passenger turned her head and was about to say thank you, but suddenly froze there.
Li Mo also pressed down his sunglasses, revealing half of his eyes, to confirm that he was not mistaken.
"So it's you?" said the two in unison.
Unexpectedly, this young woman was Liu Yifei's assistant - Xiaomei.
After the heroine's role was basically completed, Liu Yifei had left the crew yesterday, it was said that he was going to deal with some private matters, and it was the United States again, and Li Mo had no enemies here, so he simply sent Feng Wenxian back to China, otherwise he wouldn't have taken the flight alone today.
It's just that I didn't expect Liu Yifei to choose this flight.
"Xiaomei, isn't Yifei with you?"
Li Mo asked strangely.
"Over there. Something went wrong when booking the ticket and the seats were split between the two of us. I was trying to find a flight attendant to swap places, but they said there were no more seats on the plane, so I couldn't help it. ”
"Forget it, Xiaomei, since you and I are seated next to each other, then you can call Yifei over, and I will change seats with him, isn't that okay?"
Li Mo thought about it for a while, and quickly came up with a solution.
Xiaomei didn't shirk it, the two young girls took the same plane, but the seats were separated, which was indeed a bit inconvenient.
Although the flight attendants could not arrange for Liu Yifei and the others to switch places with other passengers, when someone like this offered to change places with them, they would also meet the requirements.
Soon, after the three of them had switched positions, the plane burrowed into the clouds in a slight turbulence and began its flight for nearly twelve hours.
Faced with such a long flight, most people's choice is naturally to sleep when they get on the plane.
Li Mo is naturally no exception.
After listing the work arrangements and timeline after returning to China on a notepad, Li Mo, like most passengers, asked the flight attendant to get a blanket, put down the seat, and fell asleep.
I don't know how long it took, Li Mo suddenly felt his body shake violently, and there was a strange sound in his ears, so he quickly reacted - he suddenly stood up and jumped up.
"Boom-"
Before Li Mo could stand up, he directly collided with a hard object, and let out a muffled sound of contact......
"Oops......"
This time it was the cry of pain from a young woman who deliberately lowered her voice.
"Xiaomei?!What the hell are you doing?, do you want to scare people to death?" Li Mo muttered dissatisfiedly, "I thought the plane crashed, and I was almost going to find a parachute......
If it was an ordinary time, Li Mo's witty remark would probably make Xiaomei purse her lips and smile, but now it shows that it is not a very 'normal' time.
Through the dim light in the cabin, Li Mo clearly saw that Xiaomei actually had tears on her face.
"Director Li, come with me to take a look, Sister Yifei has a high fever. ”
What happened?!
