On March 10, Tang An took the crew to New York after finishing the filming of "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic".

In addition to a few actors, the crew only brought more than 100 people.

It's just a few scenes, there's nothing complicated, and if there are more people, the cost will be overrun.

The original cost of 30 million has been almost used, and it is estimated that a little more will be added.

The filming took place all over New York, and the first stop was Columbia University, where there were two shots on the steps outside the teaching building.

The first time was when Deng Chao was still working as a teaching assistant, he met a classmate, he was a teaching assistant at a world-famous university at that time, and he was full of spirit, and the other party was just an international student who couldn't find a job.

For the second time, his position was replaced by the other party's master of biology, which was not only a slap in the face, but also a sarcasm, and more to show how difficult it was for Chinese people to survive in the United States at that time.

In Meng Xiaojun's words, a job of feeding mice can be done with a master's degree in biology?

But even with such a job, the competition is also cruel.

There are two scenes in this scene, just like the one at the airport, and the characters have completely different mentalities and expressions before and after.

There is no doubt that the Deng Dynasty is stuck again.

"Click!"

"Let's all take a break!"

"Lao Zhao, how long do we have left?"

Tang An recruited Zhao Jun, this is not in the mainland, you can shoot as long as you want, people gave two hours, try not to overtime.

Zhao Jun trotted over and looked at the time and replied, "There are still 41 minutes." ”

Tang An nodded, "You tell everyone to take a break, get some water and food." ”

Then he called Deng Chao over.

"Do you know how to act?"

Deng Chao nodded with a wry smile, "I know that I know, but I almost feel it." ”

Tang An patted his arm and said with a smile, "Don't be discouraged, filming is like this, we have enough time, we should come to feel the atmosphere of the world's higher education institutions." ”

Many times I know what effect I want to make, but I just can't do it, and it's useless to force it.

"If you think about it carefully, when you met him before, your state and his state, at the beginning he came to look for a job, the future is uncertain, and you came to work, the future is bright, at this time he goes down the stairs and you go up the stairs, you raise your head to look at him, which means that you are in the state at that time, raise your head and chest, full of confidence. ”

"After you lose your job, he gets a job, you go down the steps, he goes up the steps, you have to look down at him, that's what you were like at that time, depressed, you couldn't lift your head. ”

"Actually, this can be seen as a camera scene, but you are playing two ...... yourself"

After Tang An finished speaking, he asked him to think about it for himself, and he didn't start shooting immediately because of time.

He waited a quarter of an hour before filming resumed.

In the end, when the time was approaching, the scene was successfully filmed.

"Okay, let's go to the next set!"

After that, Tang An quickly took the crew to a restaurant near here.

It happened to be noon, so I had lunch at the restaurant.

There's no way, if you want to film in someone's restaurant, you have to take care of your business.

Three or four larger burgers, and a cup of Coke, tea, or coffee.

Things are expensive in the country, so you can only eat such fast food, and the food will only be improved every two days.

As for the Chinese restaurants in Chinatown, those Western-style Chinese food tastes weird, just eat a burger.

After a break, when the group performances came, filming officially began.

"Scene 41, one shot, one shot!"

“action！”

The rice guy can't understand Chinese, and the last sentence is shouted in English at the beginning.

Deng Chao in the camera looks very busy, the waiters all have the same costume, a sword vest over a white shirt, and he only has a white shirt that he often wears.

The costume shows his identity, an hourly worker, and is called around by the waiter.

After work, his boss paid him a few coins, folded them into a stack, and dropped them in the palm of his hand one by one.

Deng Chao shook the money in his hand, looking a little helpless.

"Click!"

When the camera pulled to a close-up of Deng Chao's face, Tang An shouted to stop.

"Stop, the makeup artist is here. ”

"Hey, Director Tang. ”

"Go and put on makeup for Deng Chao again, your face should be pale, the whole person should look depressed and tired, and there should be no blood on your lips, and you can control the rest. ”

"No problem, director!"

Ten minutes later, filming resumed.

After receiving his salary, Deng Chao was about to leave, but a kind-looking white old lady not far away stopped him.

"Hello, do you need anything?"

The old lady took out a 20-meter yuan note and stuffed it into the palm of Deng Chao's hand, and he immediately looked back reflexively.

Odd hourly workers can't take tips, this is the rule, Deng Chao immediately returned the money to the old lady.

"No, you deserve it. ”

The old lady insisted on giving the money to Deng Chao, and grabbed his hand and grabbed the money.

"You're still young, you're going to go far!"

"And she can only stay here for the rest of her life. ”

This she naturally refers to the proprietress of the proprietress .

"Thank you!"

"Thank you!"

Deng Chao said two thanks in a row, and his hand clenched tightly, not because of the $20, but because of her words of encouragement!

It's rare to have someone in life who helped you when you were at your most depressed and helpless, even if it was just a heartfelt word of encouragement.

And how many people are constantly sinking!

In the evening, the crew filmed a night scene, in a laundry.

Deng Chao waited for you to walk over from here, and when he was drinking water, he caught a glimpse of Wan Qian who was ironing clothes inside, and then turned around and looked outside silently. ”

"Wan Qian, you move a little slower and lighter, because you have been in the United States for so long, life is not good, your whole person is tired from heart to body, when you see Deng Chao in the mirror in front of you, don't look back, just look in the mirror silently. ”

"Okay Director Tang, I understand!"

"Okay, all departments ready!"

"Forty-three, one shot, one time!"

"Let's go!"

In the camera, two couples, a man and a woman, in a foreign country, look at each other through the mirror.

They all lied to each other, all to reassure each other.

In the next few days, the crew traveled all over Times Square, Fifth Avenue and other places to film.

A week later, the crew came to the New York Stock Exchange on Wall Street.

Tang An commanded the crew and looked at the direction of the New York Stock Exchange with some envy.

Suddenly, an LCD screen outside the wall of the New York Stock Exchange lit up, and the same ceremony was being carried out inside as when Huayi was listed.

Today there are companies that go public.

And this company is also a domestic enterprise, and most young people have consumed it.

Seven Days Inn Hotel!

Following the listing of Homeinns on the NASDAQ and Jinjiang Inn on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, it became the third listed express hotel in China.

The listing was a success, with an issue price of $11 and a price of $13.5 as soon as it opened, which means that the domestic company is favored by Wall Street capitalists and stockholders.

NYSE, I'll be back!

After a week of filming, "China and Partners" is officially completed.

In the evening, I found a small hotel, chartered a banquet hall, and held a finale banquet in this foreign country.

"Thank you, after a few months of hard work, our movie is finally finished, today is a little simple, and I will invite you to have a good meal after returning to China!"

Tang An raised a glass to everyone!

PS: I remember when I worked as a summer job in high school during the summer vacation, I was also working as a waiter in a western restaurant, and the waiter's shirt was covered with a vest, but there was no summer job, and at that time, the shirt was not tied well in the trousers, and the wrinkles were super ugly. Occasionally, I will place the wrong order, Spanish seafood gratin and Spanish seafood risotto, cappuccino cake and cappuccino coffee and the like, if you can't push it out in time, you will pay for it, and you will feel distressed.
