arranged the person in charge of Capcom's acquisition affairs, and Zhang Lexing finally had a matter on his mind. The next day, Zhang and Chen left Santa Monica for DreamWorks in Burbank.

After years of development, DreamWorks has successfully made a name for itself with several films such as "Jurassic Park", "Schindler's List", "Terminator 2", "True Lies" and other films shot by great directors Steven Spielberg and James Cameron, and Chris Carter's "The X-Files" has opened up the market for TV series, plus some film and television peripheral products and game adaptation authorization, etc., and has obtained quite rich returns.

With the money, DreamWorks invested in the construction of some additional studios and related auxiliary equipment, so that in addition to location shooting, most of the shots could be completed in their own studios, and the filming of TV series also had a special studio. In addition, at Zhang Lexing's request, DreamWorks also spent some money to buy a lot of scripts and built its own script library, which includes many of Zhang Lexing's favorite movie scripts, such as "Mission Impossible", "Independence Day", "Brave Game", "Men in Black", "Brave Island", "Air Prison", etc., so that DreamWorks does not need to worry about having no films to shoot for a long time.

The car in which Zhang Lexing and Chen Zishan were riding was parked at the gate of the DreamWorks filming base, and after a bodyguard in the same car got out of the car and negotiated with the doorman, the car was released. The area of the DreamWorks filming base is not large, there are only 22 studios in total, with an area ranging from 800~1000 square meters, but compared to Universal Studios, it is simply a drop in the bucket.

The car drove along the road inside the filming base for a while and stopped in front of a studio marked "STAGE5". As soon as the car stopped, Zhang Lexing got out of the car first and came to Chen Zishan's side to open the door for her, and then held the door frame with his hand to prevent her from accidentally hitting her head.

After Chen Zishan got out of the car, Zhang Lexing gently patted her shoulder, and then pointed to the billboard hanging on the studio and said: "Zishan, look at our company's own studio, does it look similar to Universal's." The movie that's being shot in this studio is called Casper, why don't you go in and see it?"

Chen Zishan's eyes lit up, and she nodded again and again and said, "Are you filming a movie?" Then I want to go and see it, this is my dream all along." ”

"Then I'll take you inside to have a look, but be careful not to interfere with other people's shots. Zhang Lexing gave the vaccination in advance.

"Don't worry, I will be a good baby, and I will never mess around. ”

……

Zhang Lexing and Chen Zishan often walked to the studio, and the two bodyguards followed behind them and dragged a little behind. As soon as I walked to the door of the studio, suddenly the door was pushed open, and someone walked out of it.

When the visitor saw Zhang Lexing, he hurriedly said: "Mr. Zhang, I was sent by Mr. Bergner, you can call me Andy." ”

Before coming, Zhang Lexing had already called in advance, this person named Andy should be the tour guide arranged by Eddie Bergner, the general manager of DreamWorks, although he knew about this matter, the bodyguard still stepped forward to check the other party's documents very conscientiously. In fact, Zhang Lexing has been to this photography base a few times before, but they have all looked around, and there are very few studios, in order to avoid the unfortunate thing of getting lost in his own studio this time, Zhang Lexing specifically asked Eddie Bergner to find someone to lead the way.

The identity of the tour guide is no problem, Zhang Lexing stepped forward and shook his hand, and said, "Andy, it's up to you next, take us to this studio first." ”

"Okay, please come with me. After saying that, Andy turned around and opened the door of the studio and walked inside, Zhang Lexing and Chen Zishan also followed inside, and the two bodyguards were dragged at the end.

While walking, Andy introduced the plot of "Ghost Pony Elf" and some of the situations in the studio.

"Mr. Zhang, "Ghost Horse Elf" is a film co-starring real people and animated characters, the main plot takes place in an old manor in Maine, most of the scenes are indoor scenes, so the shooting is mainly done in this studio......"

"Mr. Zhang, you see, next to this is the set in some rooms of the manor, and the front is specially used to shoot the exterior scenes of the manor......"

As he walked, under the leadership of Andy, Zhang Lexing and his party came to the place where the film was being filmed. According to Andy, the scene being filmed today is Kate, the daughter of ghost researcher Dr. Harvey, and the ghost Casper talking at the kitchen table, and the actor who plays Kate is called Christina Richie, who is a child star who debuted relatively early.

Today's shooting is in a place arranged as a kitchen in the studio, the space is relatively small, Zhang Lexing and Chen Zishan can only find a place in a corner that does not affect the shooting and watch quietly.

The director saw that all departments were ready, and yelled at the front: "The 37th scene of "Ghost Horse Elf", the first time, start!" With the director's order, the camera made a rhythmic "buzz" sound and began to work. Christina Richie, who was ready, walked from the kitchen door to the table with a handheld vacuum cleaner in her arms, and said into the air as she went, "I can see through you, if you don't have skin, you're going to get in a lot of trouble." ”

After saying that, Christina Ricci sat down on the chair in front of the dining table, put the handheld vacuum cleaner on the table, looked up, gestured with her left hand, and said, "You...... How do you make it?" After a moment, she turned to her left again.

"Stop. The director yelled, then slapped his face and said, "Richie, your expression is too stiff, although I know you can't see anything, but your eyes should be focused, at least let others look like there is something in front of you." Okay, let's get ready, let's do it again. ”

The crew immediately went their separate ways, and Christina Ricci also got out of her chair, picked up the handheld vacuum cleaner, and prepared to walk again.

Chen Zishan frowned for a while, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Le Xing, why did that girl talk to herself in that person, like talking to the air, how did she make a movie like this." ”

Zhang Lexing leaned into her ear and whispered: "This scene is a dialogue between Kate and the ghost Casper, ghosts can only be added through post-production, so it looks like this is what it is now on the shooting site, after all, this is a movie starring real people and animated characters, and there may be many such scenes." ”

Chen Zishan shook her head and said with some disappointment: "Lexing, it's not good-looking at all, and it seems to be very silly, is there a movie that is not co-starred by real people and animated characters, that kind of should be better." ”

Zhang Lexing glanced at Andy, and he whispered very understandingly: "Miss Chen, the nearby No. 7 studio is filming "Jumanji", there are no animated characters in it, why don't you go there and take a look." ”

Chen Zishan nodded immediately, so the three of them returned to the outside of the studio along the same road, and then walked towards the No. 7 studio. Not far along the road, a bus drove by, stopped at the studio marked "STAGE6", and then a large crowd of people poured into the studio.

"Andy," Zhang Lexing called Andy over and asked, "What did that group of people do just now, is it a tour group?"

Andy glanced over there and replied, "That studio was filming a TV series called 'Friends.' ”

"Friends?" Zhang Lexing was stunned for a moment. "Friends", also known as "Six", is a humorous sitcom that has been on the air for ten years, and it is also one of the most successful and influential TV series in the United States and even in the world.

"Andy, is the crew of "Friends" filming in this rented space?"

"Mr. Zhang, this is actually our company's own crew, I heard that it seems that last year the company invested in a production center called 'Bright-Kaufman-Crane', which was operated by Mr. Bergner himself. This year, the production center came up with the script for "Friends", and Mr. Bergner liked it, so he made a pilot episode, which was later favored by NBC (National Broadcasting Corporation) and was ready to be officially broadcast in September, and the crew should now be filming the official broadcast series. ”

I can't imagine that Eddie Bergner is still so visionary that he can dig out "Friends", and it seems that there is no need to worry about the decline of DreamWorks' TV series production in the future. Speaking of "Friends", in fact, from the perspective of watching and shooting, it is definitely much more interesting than "Jumanji", thinking of this Lexing asked Andy in a low voice: "Andy, if you want to go to the crew of "Friends" to watch the party, is it inconvenient?"

"It should be no problem, Mr. Zhang, there are still more audience seats there, and the people who went in just now are not that easy to fill. ”

got an affirmative answer, Zhang Lexing patted Chen Zishan and said to her: "Zishan, "Friends" seems to be quite interesting, why don't we go to watch the filming of the TV series." ”

"But I want to see a movie. Chen Zishan glanced at the studio of "STAGE7" a little farther away, and said reluctantly.

"In fact, although "Jumanji" does not have animated characters, it also uses a lot of special effects, and there are slightly more actors, so it is still difficult to avoid encountering the previous situation. That TV series is different, the main thing is the character performance, there should be no special effects into it, it is very suitable for live viewing, otherwise how could the crew find so many live audiences. ”

Chen Zishan was obviously a little tempted, hesitated slightly, and then nodded in agreement: "Okay, I believe you will, but if it doesn't look good......"

"Rest assured, it's definitely good-looking. Andy, let's go, let's go to Friends. ”

The group immediately turned around and walked into the next studio marked "STAGE6". The studio looks large from the outside, but when you walk inside, you find that it is already filled with various sets, leaving only a passage for two people to pass through. followed Andy all the way forward, turned two more corners, and came to the filming site of "Friends" today. Sure enough, as Andy said, the audience was not full, but the rest of the seats were relatively back.

Zhang Lexing picked two seats with a slightly better perspective, sat down with Chen Zishan, and Andy handed over a movie viewing manual, which is actually a booklet with the photos and names of the characters in the play, without a plot introduction, but at least Zhang Lexing can tell who is who on the stage. By the time Zhang Lexing finished flipping through the booklet, the shooting in the front work area had already begun for a while.

……

On stage, Rachel ran out in a panic and asked, "Has anyone seen my engagement ring?"

Phoebe replied as she walked, "Yes, it looks beautiful." ”

"Oh my God, oh my God, oh my god...... " Rachel said as she threw herself onto the couch, trying to find her engagement ring.

"Hey, don't touch them. Phoebe discouraged.

"I'm going to have his ring back tomorrow, but I don't seem to be worried enough. Rachel didn't give up, so she searched the couch and then turned to the coffee table.

After touching under the coffee table for a while, Rachel lifted up and pretended to face Barry, "Hello, Barry, remember me? I'm the one who wears a white veil to make you ugly in front of your relatives and friends!"

After saying that, Rachel continued to look under the coffee table, and after failing to do so, she turned around and frantically searched under the sofa: "Oh my God, I have to return his ring today, but the ring is missing, how do I face him." ”

At this time, Monica came over and comforted: "Don't worry, we'll find it, right." ”

Chandler and Joey also hurriedly got up and said, "yes, we will." ”

…… Everyone started to help find ......

Joey asked, "When was the last time you wore it?" ”

"Obviously, (Doy), of course, before the loss. Phoebe said.

"Not many people say 'Doy' these days. Chandler said, leaning on the refrigerator.

Rachel said as she flipped on the couch, "I still wore it this morning, and I wore it in the kitchen...... Noodles. ”

……

The actors on stage continued to perform, and the audience burst into laughter from time to time, some on request, some from the heart. Chen Zishan's English level should be not bad, at least she can watch the performances on stage with relish, she can't help but laugh every time she is wonderful, and she can keep up with the pace of other audiences, it seems that Zhang Lexing will have no problem passing the test this time.
