At half past three in the afternoon, Li Mo and his assistant Feng Wen sat comfortably in the first-class seats of the United Airlines direct flight to New York, honestly waiting for the plane to take off.

In fact, as Li Mo guessed, the filming of the crew of "Beijing Meets Seattle" in North America was not very smooth.

Not to mention that the schedule is not as expected, the most critical problem now is that the crew is facing the risk of overspending and not being able to complete the original filming time.

Li Mo didn't care about money.

The reason why I don't care is naturally not because Molong Media has no place to spend money now, but because it is more important to solve the problem than to pursue responsibility.

What's more, with Li Mo's understanding of Xue Xiaolu, there is only one reason that will cause the risk of filming delays and crew overruns: the college style and female literary youth in this young lady's bones have attacked.

It stands to reason that if the director died like this in other crews, the actors in the crew would have stood up and benchmarked against her, but the situation of the crew of "Beijing Meets Seattle" is a little different.

The two heroes and heroines, although Jin Dong is not young, he is still a pink newcomer in the film industry, he has just transferred from the drama stage to a new platform, and his authority for the director is still engraved in his bones, and he dare not fire with Xue Xiaolu if he has the courage.

On the other hand, Li Mo should be blamed for the reason.

When he introduced Liu Yifei to Xue Xiaolu, he just thought that the role of Wen Jiajia was suitable for Liu Yifei, and Xue Xiaolu, the director, and Liu Yifei should also have a certain common language, but he forgot one thing - Liu Yifei said more and less in her bones, and she also had the side of a female literary youth.

There is only one thing that is more terrifying than the director of a crew is a female literary youth, that is, the heroine of this crew is also a female literary young disease......

The power of the two female young people together is simply ...... Destroy the world.

"Beijing Meets Seattle" In this case, it has not been made into a pure drama by Xue Xiaolu...... or a literary film, it can be regarded as an outlier.

To be honest, if it's just usual, overspending and overtime is nothing more than a matter of money and actors' schedules.

But now it's August, and the list of nominees for the Golden Rooster Award is about to be announced, and for companies and individuals who are interested in the award, the month after the nomination may be the shutdown time point for the final award.

Although the jury will explicitly prohibit all kinds of canvassing and public relations activities, Li Mo, who has experienced the baptism of the operation methods of the Wang brothers in his previous life, naturally knows that the so-called regulations are only used to restrict those stupid people with poor means...... As well as candidates without background and capital.

This year's Golden Rooster Award is an extremely important 'battle' for Li Mo, Liu Yifei, Wang Kai and even the entire Molong Media.

Therefore, now we must first solve the problems encountered in "Beijing Meets Seattle", which is why Li Mo will take Feng Wen and the two of them to fly over alone.

…………

After an unprecedented, nearly fourteen-hour long flight, Li Mo and Feng Wen finally arrived in New York, the eastern city of the United States, when their bodies and minds were on the verge of collapse.

According to the news obtained from Zong Shuai, the crew of "North West" should be in the city in the past few days to shoot the scene of the hero and heroine in the film on the roof of the Empire State Building.

This is also a passage specially arranged by Xue Xiaolu to pay tribute to the old movie "Sleepless in Seattle".

When Li Mo and Feng Wen arrived, it was already six o'clock in the afternoon local time in New York.

Finally, because they were in the same northern hemisphere, it was not yet dark in New York at this time, and under the leadership of the local staff of the Sky Shadow Group, Li Mo and Feng Wen came to a floor not far from the roof of the Empire State Building.

"Mr. Li, since the plane crashed into the building, New York has been very concerned about the safety of landmark buildings," the staff explained while taking Li Mo and the others upstairs, "There are still about two hours before we are allowed to do so, Xue Dao and they will all be on it, do you want to go back to the hotel to rest or wait here for them to finish work?"

"I'll wait here," Li Mo didn't think for a few seconds before making a decision, "I've been on the plane for more than ten hours, and I basically fell asleep, and I really can't sleep." ”

"Okay, then I'll send you here," the staff stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction for Li Mo and the others, "I have other jobs, so I won't take you over, these are two badges, and it's enough for you to go in with them." ”

After Li Mo and the others brought their badges, they actually didn't get much preferential treatment, and the place where the security check should still be checked by security, and even because they brought the crew's badge, they had to be checked again by the security personnel hired by the crew......

In fact, although Li Mo has been away from the crew before, and he doesn't know what the daily work status of the "North West" crew is, as long as he greets the familiar behind-the-scenes staff a little, it is easy to feel that the crew's state is not normal.

That is, when looking at Li Mo, these staff members can barely show a smile, but when they turn their heads, the smile is immediately gone, and the entire crew, at least in the behind-the-scenes personnel, always gives people a feeling of 'don't get close to the living'.

If it weren't for Li Mo's repeated confirmation, he wouldn't have believed that it was this same group of people who were still chatting and laughing with him in the crew of "Get Out, Tumor" a few months ago, and talked freely after finishing work......

Even when he saw Li Mo's arrival, Liu Yifei was just preparing lines for the script by himself, and he didn't intend to deal with people at all.

Her assistant Xiaomei was holding a cup on the side, although she had a smile on her face, but Li Mo couldn't see how she looked at it and felt that her smile was better than crying......

Jin Dong next to him is even more exaggerated, his wife Li Jia is also visiting the crew, it can be seen that Jin Dong is really a little too stressed, after saying hello to Li Mo hastily, this old man directly accompanied his wife on the side;

All in all, this is definitely not the normal working state of the actors and behind-the-scenes staff in a crew.

To be honest, Xue Xiaolu didn't know that something was wrong with her crew.

But she feels that the problem is more with the actors.

In terms of actors, although Jin Dong is playing a movie role for the second time, he has no shortage of acting experience, although in real life he and his wife Li Jia are as good as honey, but when it comes to the play, his voice and table skills are not bad.

But the problem is that this person has little experience in living abroad, and spoken English is even more problematic, especially when filming scenes that use a lot of spoken English, it makes people think that Wen Jiajia played by Liu Yifei is the one who has lived in the United States for a long time.

In Li Mo's view, this kind of thing can actually be solved by post-dubbing, that is, Xue Xiaolu is worried that he is directing a commercial movie for the first time and wants to come up with a decent report card, so he tosses all kinds of things......

Anyway, in Li Mo's opinion, the work done by this young lady in order to 'save' the construction period has now become a move to delay the construction period.

It seems that it is necessary to talk to her about future plans.
