The hotel where the crew of "Across the Seas" stayed was not in the central district of Paris, but a hotel chain called Langton in the suburbs, about 20 kilometers away from the city.

France is a world-class tourist power, with the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame Cathedral, the National Museum and other famous attractions, the capital Paris, is the first choice for foreign tourists, the city receives tens of millions of tourists every year.

As a result, hotel availability in downtown Paris is very tight, and many rooms are booked months or even half a year in advance, so it is obviously difficult to find a hotel that can accommodate the crew of "Across the Seas", and the cost must be very high.

In addition, living in the urban area is not conducive to the management of the crew.

Therefore, choosing the suburbs is the best choice, Duan Jianming chartered two buses, three commercial vehicles and a freight truck through a local taxi company, which is specially responsible for picking up and dropping off crew members and equipment, which greatly saves costs.

The most important task he completed in advance in France was not these preparations, but the communication with the French partners.

"I've made an appointment with André Baptiste, CEO of Senna Films..."

Duan Jianming said: "Tomorrow at 10 a.m., we will meet at the headquarters of Senna Film to discuss filming. ”

"So today you rest early, recharge your energy so that you can communicate with each other, these French guys are very difficult to deal with, I can barely cope with them, now it's up to you. ”

He had a headache, and it was evident that some unpleasant memories were being brought back.

Senna Film is the third largest film company in France, although it is a second- or third-rate strength in American Hollywood, but as a French film company based in Paris, Senna Film still has a very strong local network.

The filming of "Across the Seas" in Paris involved a lot of intense scenes, especially a street car chase scene was very important, and the shooting of such a scene required approval from the local authorities, which was not an easy task.

If you let Dream Media and the crew of "Across the Seas" contact and communicate by themselves, it will inevitably be time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the result may not be what you want.

Therefore, it is necessary to find a local partner, and Duan Jianming recommended Senna Films, because he had cooperated with this French film company before, and the situation was somewhat understood.

With the efforts of Duan Jianming, the two sides quickly reached a cooperation agreement, and Senna Film will be responsible for assisting the crew in the daily shooting in Paris, as well as the approval and review work.

Of course, the French are not surnamed Lei, and Senna Films will never help in vain, and has made a lot of requests to Duan Jianming, in short, it is quite difficult, and the purpose is nothing more than to gnaw on a large piece of meat to eat.

Since Duan Jianming was not qualified to sign the contract, he had to wait until Luo Kai came to sign with the French side.

With the urine nature of the French, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no trouble when signing the contract.

Luo Kai nodded: "No problem..."

After Duan Jianming arrived in France, he would report to him every day, so he already had a good understanding of the virtues of the French and was fully mentally prepared for this meeting.

The two chatted all the way, and the convoy soon arrived at the Langton Hotel on the outskirts of Paris.

The Langton Hotel is a mid-to-high-end international chain hotel, which is not well-known in China, but has branches in many European countries, and the standard positioning is three-star and four-star.

This Langton hotel is a four-star hotel, but in terms of hardware conditions and environment, it is actually stronger than many five-star hotels in downtown Paris, but it is not very convenient to go out shopping and play, but the crew easily solved this problem by renting a car.

After arriving at the hotel, everyone came down one after another, and now the lobby gathers to distribute room cards and security brochures.

Many of the crew members came to France for the first time, and even some went abroad for the first time, and their understanding of France basically came from the Internet and TV news, and they only knew that Paris was a tourist attraction and shopping paradise, and they basically didn't know anything about the actual situation here.

Paris is not a very safe place, especially in recent years the number of French immigrants has increased dramatically, which has led to a deterioration in the law and order, street thieves are rampant, and many tourists come to the loss.

This safety booklet records a variety of safety matters to remind everyone to pay attention to, including the measures that should be taken in case of accidents, etc., in short, it is very practical.

Although the crew implements a strict management system, it is impossible to let the members go out at will, but as the so-called preparedness, some preventive shots should still be given.

Duan Jianming told everyone to read this booklet carefully, and then announced the disbandment and rest.

Luo Kai and Mo Lan also came to the room where the two lived.

As a director, actor and investor, Luo Kai's room must be the best in the hotel, and his relationship with Mo Lan is well known, so they naturally live together.

The Langton hotel has just been completed for less than two years, so the interior setting is still very new, the luxurious business suites are relatively large, the decoration has a distinct European design style, especially the open-air balcony with flowers makes people feel very comfortable.

Standing on the balcony and looking at the intercity scenery of Paris in the distance, surrounded by green rivers, it is very refreshing.

But Luo Kai didn't miss it, he didn't care about enjoying the scenery, so he took out his mobile phone and called Qiaoqiao.

The international long-distance call of the mobile phone has already been opened, and after ringing three times, Qiaoqiao picked it up: "Brother Kai?"

"It's me..."

Luo Kai hurriedly asked, "Niuniu has already slept?"

Due to the time difference, it was almost midnight in the capital at the moment, so Luo Kai called Qiaoqiao instead of Niuniu, for fear of waking her up from her sleep.

"Slept..."

Qiaoqiao said: "She is next to me, and she said that she will wait for you to call before sleeping, and then she can't insist on falling asleep after lying in bed, hehe, Brother Kai, are you in France?"

"Yes. ”

Luo Kai couldn't help but smile and said, "I've already arrived at the hotel, so it happens that you should rest early, it's going to be hard for you during this time." ”

"It should..."

As he spoke, Qiaoqiao suddenly exhaled softly: "Ah!"

Luo Kai's heart tightened: "What's wrong?"

Then he heard a faint and confused voice coming from the receiver of his mobile phone: "Dad?"

"Hmm. ”

Qiaoqiao explained: "Niuniu is awake. ”

Luo Kai couldn't help but sweat and said, "Then I'll talk to her." ”

"Okay. ”

Qiaoqiao handed the phone to Niuniu: "Niuniu, this is your father's call from France." ”

The first one is sent.
