Vancouver is a city in Canada.

In recent years, many of Hollywood's large and small investment works have been filmed and filmed in Vancouver.

The reason is simple, there is a very strong tax refund system in the region!

Of course, the current tax refund is not as high as the initial 55 percent, and there is about 15 percent tax refund...

However, Vancouver's own media industry is very developed, and all kinds of professionals, equipment, and post-production of TV and film production are all-inclusive, and the price is much lower than that of Hollywood.

Making movies is very expensive.

Vancouver has become the number one base for the entire North American film industry...

Nightcrawler was filmed in Vancouver!

"Nightcrawler", a 30-day shooting cycle, no more than ten scenes, only five or six main actors, and the production cost is still 6 million US dollars!

If it were in Vancouver, it would have saved at least two million dollars in spending!

As soon as the producer summed it up, he simply asked Dan Gilroy to shoot on location in Vancouver...

Anyway, it's all night scenes, and big cities all over the world are similar...

……

Shen Ming got off the plane and clearly felt a chill...

Vancouver has a temperate maritime climate, and the four seasons are not too distinct, generally speaking, it is warm in winter and cool in summer.

I called a taxi, sat in the co-pilot, and after a few simple words of communication in English, the chubby middle-aged driver started the car and slowly drove into the city.

Along the way, Shen Ming doubted whether he was still in China, the pedestrians along the way were basically Asian-looking, and many shops had Chinese signs, not only that, there were far more Chinese signs on the road than English signs...

The fat driver looked at Shen Ming through the rearview mirror, probably estimating his worth.

It's just that Shen Ming has been looking at his phone...

Finally couldn't help it: "... Are you Chinese?"

"Yes!"

"The Chinese have occupied Vancouver! Are you here to travel?"

"I'm here to work!"

"Do you want to buy a house?"

“… No, I'm an actor, I'm here to film!"

Hearing that he was an actor, the driver's attitude was obviously a lot better, and then he began to complain about the housing prices in Vancouver...

It is said that after immigrants from China turned Vancouver into a province of China, the first thing they did was to speculate on housing prices...

In 2002, the average price of a detached house in Vancouver was $400,000, and the current average price is at least $1.4 million...

That's 3.5 times!

At the same time, home prices in cities around Vancouver have risen by just 30 percent in more than a decade...

Along the way, the two exchanged a lot of opinions on the increase in housing prices in China and Canada, and then Shen Ming got out of the car and gave an extra ten Canadian dollars in tips.

"Hey, Dan!"

After getting out of the car, director Dan Gilroy was standing in front of the hotel waiting for him.

"Hi, Shen!"

The two embraced, and Dan Gilroy was enthusiastic: "Long time no see, how are you doing?"

“… Pretty good, what about you?"

"I'm busy preparing the crew and inviting actors, by the way, the heroine is Renee Russell, do you know her?"

"Of course!"

Renee Russell is the wife of Dan Gilroy, and the two married in 1992 and have a stable relationship.

Renee Russell's most famous role is the mother of Brother Hammer in "Thor"...

Slowly, in the script, Louis and the heroine Nina have slept ...

Do you want Shen Ming to film a bed scene with someone's wife in front of someone's husband?

Foreigners can really play!

No, Renee Russell is in her fifties, and it seems that he's the one who suffers...

"Your room is in 302, if you have something, go to David, you have met. ”

The Yankees instructed him to go upstairs first.

Shen Ming refused the doorman's 'kindness' to carry his luggage, and went upstairs with his luggage...

It is a single room, although it is a little simple, but it is very spacious, I went into the house and walked around, neatly sorted out my luggage, and then took out my mobile phone and dialed Yang Xin...

……

He did get the script of "Yunnan Worm Valley", but he still hasn't opened it...

Even if he really wanted to open it!

Like him, who likes spicy chicken online articles, he must have read far-reaching online articles such as "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" and "Tomb Robbery Notes".

Now that he has the opportunity to play a role, do you think he will be excited?

Even if Yang Xin told him, 'The copyright of Huayi's "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is about to expire, so this "Yunnan Worm Valley" is likely to be a work in a hurry...', Shen Ming was still very excited, and the corners of his mouth were about to open...

This is "Ghost Blowing the Lamp"!

I really want to open the script and read it!

But he knows that the priority now is "Nightcrawler", and if he reads the script, he will definitely think about how he should interpret it, which will affect the state very much...

Later, she seemed to say a bunch of nonsense, what can't jump ship, anyway, Shen Ming didn't listen very carefully, well, it's over...

An actor has the opportunity to play a role he particularly likes, so why should he consider changing jobs?

There is also the "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" series is almost a guarantee of box office hits, and "Nine-Story Demon Tower" can win 600 million box office!

Yang Xin saw that Shen Ming didn't have the heart to listen to her at all, so he simply let him leave with the script...

Holding back the surprise, Shen Ming returned to the room and continued to watch "Extreme Challenge"...

Shen Ming found a problem, that is, he was too calm, and when playing games, it was difficult to devote himself to it, for example, he worked hard, the task failed, and there was no expression on his face...

Or when he hears his teammates eliminated, he won't cooperate and make a frightened expression...

It gives people a sense of no desire to win.

That's not good!

Variety shows, of course, have to be fun, devote yourself wholeheartedly, and cooperate with the expressions of some variety show effects, and then you have to adjust it...

At the end of the first phase, basically everyone's character has been established, Sun Honglei is Dasha, Huang Lei is a fat fox, Huang Bo is a bad uncle, Wang Xun, an honest man...

It is difficult for Xiaozhu to set up a character, of course his performance is very good, but it is all variety shows, and it is difficult to determine a nickname for him;

Shen Ming's character is a 'smart younger brother'...

After watching the show, Shen Ming logged on to Weibo, and the Internet was already boiling, discussing the content of the first issue of "Extreme Challenge"!

A bunch of netizens with messages were squeezed under the official website, all praising the show as very good...

"More brains than running men!"

"The entertainment effect of the show is really good, and it is a clear spring in the variety show PK battle where game creativity and editing techniques tend to be the same. ”

Douban score: 8.7 points...

In terms of word-of-mouth, it crushed "Let's Run"...

In fact, I have already won, you must know that "Let's Run" is currently the most popular variety show in China, and it can be compared with them, and it is not lagging behind in terms of word-of-mouth, which means that "Extreme Challenge" has been recognized by some audiences!

The ratings ranked second in the same time period, second only to "Fight for Her"...

This can only be blamed on the poor publicity of "Extreme Challenge".

There's no way, I haven't bought people's copyrights, and I really don't dare to publicize it with great fanfare...

And "Fight for Her" has reached its third episode, with a steady group of viewers.
