Chapter 168: Congratulations to Mu Ming for landing in Times Square
Normally, everyone wants to shoot as quickly as possible. The progress is fast, the director can have more time for post-production, the producer can save a lot of production costs, and the leading actor can free up more schedules.
If this is in China, of course Chen Kexin will take advantage of the current momentum to shoot in one go, and it is best to stick to it until it is finished.
But the problem is that now in the United States, when shooting abroad, one of the things that must be done before starting up is the planning of the shooting scene. And now the crew has filmed the corresponding scenes, but the scenes cannot be delivered, which is very embarrassing.
Of course, it's not all. Part of the reason is that the recent pressure on several leading actors is a bit high.
Because the previous shooting was very smooth, everyone couldn't help but want to maintain this inertia later. But the more you think about it, the more anxious you become, the more anxious you are, the more anxious you are, and the more anxious you are, and it is easy to form a vicious circle.
In fact, in the last two days of shooting, the number of NG shots per shot has increased a lot. So Chen Kexin decided to take this opportunity to give the crew a vacation and let everyone adjust their state. By the way, let's see if you can adjust the scheduled venue arrangement.
"Let's go, Mu Ming, my brother will take you around New York. Deng Chao, who was eating lunch, said to Mu Ming. Since learning that most of the service staff can speak Chinese, Deng Chao is obviously much more interested in the nature of going out.
"Take a stroll in the afternoon, and by the way, let's see what Manhattan is like at night. Deng Chao raised his eyebrows, with a look on his face.
Mu Ming's heart tightened, where did I seem to have seen this plot? Oh, by the way, last time I was in Bangkok, Xu Zheng almost said this to himself. Then if Xiao Zhao hadn't come in time, he would have almost had an accident.
Mu Ming, who has already overcome a temptation, is like a water...... Well, there are still a little ripples, after all, the rotten capitalist nightlife has only been seen in books since childhood, and I have not actually seen it.
But in an instant, Mu Ming smoothed out that little ripple. "Forget it, Brother Chao, you can play, I won't go. Mu Ming shirked, but he knew that Deng Chao was only slightly better than Xu Zheng in some aspects.
"Don't mind, it's hard to make a trip. Deng Chao thought that Mu Ming's shirk was due to the shyness of a young man, so he continued to excuse himself.
"No, Brother Chao, I really won't go. Mu Ming waved her hand, glanced left and right, and just saw Wan Qian, who had just come over, and made an excuse: "Actually, I made an appointment with Sister Qian before and went out together." ”
"Oh~~" Deng Chao showed an unclear smile on his face, patted Mu Ming's shoulder and said, "That's okay, then I won't call you." It's fun. As he spoke, Wan Qian, who rushed over, smiled, said hello and left.
"What did you just say about me? As soon as I came to the Deng Dynasty, I left in such a hurry. After the young lady sat down, she asked Mu Ming with a confused face.
"It's nothing, Brother Chao just asked me to go out for a walk, and I used you as an excuse to refuse him. Mu Ming said casually.
"Oh~~" Wan Qian squinted her eyes and smiled at Mu Ming: "Children, the tutoring is very strict." "Wan Qian knows about the existence of Xiao Zhao.
"Cut, just kidding, I'm ......" Mu Ming hesitated for a long time, not daring to brag about this bull.
"Now, I'll have to hide in my room all afternoon to prove your lie. Wan Qian joked.
"Don't mind, just go out for a walk. It's rare to have a vacation, and you can't have a good time. Mu Ming thought about it, and went out alone with the young lady, as if the atmosphere was a little wrong. He said: "I'll call Hua Yan again, oh, by the way, you can also ask Brother Pan if he is going, he definitely didn't go out with Deng Chao." ”
Wan Qian naturally had no opinion, so the final travel list became, Mu Ming, Pan Yueming and his assistant, three boys, and Hua Yan, Wan Qian and her assistant, three girls, a total of six people.
"Where are you going?" Wan Qian asked casually, looking at Mu Ming and Pan Yueming.
"I'll follow you, I'll just follow and see, wherever I go. Pan Yueming smiled casually. He has a very easy-going personality and doesn't talk much, but whenever you ask him a question, he always picks up on the topic.
"Let's go to Times Square. The two didn't care, Mu Ming became the one who took the idea: "Look at what the so-called 'crossroads of the world' will be." ”
The hotel is a bit far from Times Square, so hailed two cars at the hotel and got to the destination and walked there.
I have to say that this "crossroads" is indeed a bit dazzling. Surrounded by colorful neon lights and street performers, the big screen of news, song MVs, and TV shows is enough to shock everyone's eyes.
It's no wonder it's the only place in Manhattan where a legal plan requires homeowners to hang a bright billboard.
It is said to be a square, but it is actually a street where commercial and entertainment venues gather. And there's something wrong with its nickname, in the heart of Times Square, it's actually the intersection of West 42nd Street, Seventh Avenue and Broadway.
It's said that they came out to play together, but it's impossible for so many people to be together all the time. Hua Yan and Wan Qian's assistant browsed the surrounding clothing and cosmetics stores, and Wan Qian and Pan Yueming went to watch the street performers performing.
Mu Ming found a place to sit down, looked up and quietly looked at the advertising screens around Times Square.
As far as China is concerned, especially the younger generation, when it comes to Times Square, the names of landmarks such as Broadway, Fifth Avenue, and Times Building are obviously not as good as the Nasdaq screen that is more than 30 meters high, which is what we often call the Times Square screen.
When Wan Qian came over, she happened to see Mu Ming talking to a white buddy passing by, and she was still pointing to the big screen facing the road.
"I thought you said that your English was poor. What do you ask?" Wan Qian looked at Mu Ming who came over and said curiously.
"My poor English score is because I have a small vocabulary, and it doesn't mean that my English is poor. Mu Ming said casually, and then asked rhetorically: "You said, how much does it cost to advertise on this big screen." ”
"I know that. The little assistant who had just come over heard Mu Ming's question and introduced: "I read the news on the Internet some time ago, and it is said that the 30-second news is once every two minutes, and the price around it is 2.5 million." The figure of 2.5 million attracted her deeply, so the impression was very clear.
"Around 2.5 million, that day was nearly 90,000, and an hour was less than 4,000. Two and a half cents at a time, the price of one time is about one hundred and fifteen. Thirty seconds of advertising is five dollars per second, which is more than thirty when converted into RMB. Mu Ming quickly calculated.
"Why, you don't want to do an advertisement for our movie here, do you?" Wan Qian said in surprise. This is not the time when "XXX will be on Times Square" a few years later, and the status of this big screen is still a bit high.
"It's not worth it to advertise, but ......" Mu Ming half-squinted: "Compared to advertising, this billboard is worth seeing." ”
