Next chapter

After sweeping the food on the table, they left the Chinese restaurant. ○

Although it doesn't taste good, such an expensive dish can't be wasted, and everyone is really hungry, life in China is not rich, and there is no habit of leftovers at home.

In terms of location, this Chinese neighborhood is located in a corner of the town, some distance from the center of the town.

As soon as they got off the plane, exhausted physically and mentally, and had to pack up the house, they gave up their plans to go to the center of town now, and they would talk about it tomorrow.

There is a small supermarket, vegetable market, grocery store and other stores in this neighborhood, and you can buy basically everything you need in life, and you are completely self-sufficient.

Their American life begins with familiarity with the street.

After purchasing daily necessities such as quilts, as well as various ingredients and condiments such as noodles, everyone returned with a full load.

At this time, I found that it was inconvenient to have no car, and there were bicycles purchased in Huaguoda, and there was no pressure to load hundreds of pounds of goods with permanent bicycles, and a bicycle could be used for more than ten years.

In the United States, the car has become a must-have mode of transportation for families.

Speaking of which, the reason why Chinese people think that the United States is good is because American families live in small western-style buildings and drive cars.

If you want to get a job, getting a car is a top priority, and everyone is debating which is more cost-effective to buy a car or rent a car.

There is a rumor in China that it is said that American cars are very cheap, and Americans do not repair their cars when they break down, but send them directly to the garbage dump for scrapping, because the cost of repairing the car is too expensive, and it is better to buy a new one.

Lin Zixuan knew that this was not true.

Americans' money is not blowing in the wind, and if that were the case, there would be no need for American car repair shops to save zài.

Only those vehicles that fail the annual inspection will be sent to the garbage dump, and once the car is found by the American police on the road, it will not only confiscate the car, but also face a high fine.

However, cars in the United States are indeed cheap, especially those of low-end models and used cars.

He thought about it, and finally decided to rent a car, which is also an indispensable prop in the TV series, and can be rented for different styles of cars for filming.

Back at the lodgings, everyone tidied up and rested in their rooms.

At this time, the two heroines Wang Ji and Yan Xiaofeng were about to say goodbye and leave, Wang Ji returned to Los Angeles, Yan Xiaofeng returned to New Jersey, and came over to participate in the rehearsal when the crew was almost ready.

Seeing them in the taxi, Lin Zixuan and Feng Xiaogang walked back and discussed future arrangements.

In this team, one of them is a producer and the other is a director, and they are undoubtedly the main characters, but both of them know that the real big name in this team is Jiang Wen, and other actors can't be lazy.

In this strange country, one of them is too young, and the other is not well-known, and if they want to control such a team and complete the filming of this TV series, they need tacit cooperation.

Fortunately, the crew members are all old people from the art center and have cooperated many times.

Lin Zixuan and Feng Xiaogang discussed, and the two had a clear division of labor, Lin Zixuan was responsible for external affairs, contacting the venue, and coordinating relations, and Feng Xiaogang was responsible for the internal part of the crew, gradually establishing the authority of the director.

If there is a conflict and stalemate between Feng Xiaogang and the crew members, Lin Zixuan will mediate, and the two will support each other.

"This is the first step in our long march, and whether it will succeed or fail depends on the next few months." Feng Xiaogang said in a deep voice.

"Brother Feng, don't think about it, the investment negotiation is almost over, and there is no problem in recovering the cost." Lin Zixuan comforted.

A big investment of 1.5 million US dollars, the expectations of superiors, a TV series with high hopes, to say that there is no pressure is nonsense, both of them are under a lot of pressure, but they are not lightly revealed.

If they're worried all the time, the whole team won't be in good shape.

Usually they joke and liven up the atmosphere, and only when the two of them are alone together will they complain about their grievances and relieve the pressure.

Recovering the cost can only give them a little peace of mind, and they want to not only recover the cost, but also make a name for themselves and succeed with this TV series.

"As long as I can get through this hurdle, I won't be afraid of anything in the future." Feng Xiaogang said.

In the afternoon, everyone took a short rest, and in the evening, Mu Shanshan cooked a few dishes, and everyone watched TV while eating in the living room.

The TV in the apartment receives dozens of channels, most of which are in English, and only a few are Chinese, which is a star channel founded by local Chinese in the United States to broadcast news about the Chinese.

said that it is a Chinese-language channel, or mainly Cantonese, Wang Ji and Yan Xiaofeng worked in this kind of TV station when they were in the United States.

There is a TV station that is broadcasting old movies in Xiangjiang, and there is also a TV station that is broadcasting TV dramas in Xiangjiang, which is estimated to be the copyright bought from Xiangjiang, although everyone can't understand Cantonese, but it is better than English.

"Can we sell domestic TV dramas to the United States?" Lin Zixuan said suddenly, "It will be broadcast on these Chinese channels, so that overseas Chinese can see the changes in China, and maybe they can return to China to invest." ”

This is his idea when he saw Xiangjiang's film and television dramas broadcast overseas, and mainland film and television dramas should also work.

"This is a good idea, the TV series can't sell much money in China, basically making one and losing one, and it is also a good way to sell it overseas." Feng Xiaogang agreed.

"This is a good thing, I think it's okay, we are all Chinese, at least the feelings are the same, and the TV series that caused a sensation in China can also be done abroad." Jiang Wen analyzed, "If this matter can be done, we will not come to the United States in vain." ”

"Call back tomorrow and ask, the drama "Desire" should work, try it first." Lin Zixuan decided.

Jiang Wen glanced at Lin Zixuan, and through Guò's contact these days, he knew something about this young man.

At first, it was a rumor in the circle, saying that a powerful screenwriter suddenly appeared, writing a popular one, and he never missed, and he passed after listening to it, and he was not a screenwriter, so there was no comparison.

If an actor has particularly good acting skills and a particularly good film, he will be interested in watching and comparing them.

He loves to compete with his opponents in the same division and can get him excited.

This time he cooperated with Lin Zixuan, since he had met him, Jiang Wen wanted to try Lin Zixuan, after all, it should not be easy for a master who can bring in an investment of 1.5 million US dollars and make such a big move.

However, in the face of his challenge, Lin Zixuan did not accept the offer at all, and promised what he could, and pushed Feng Xiaogang to what he couldn't.

He felt like a punch into the cotton, and he was very upset.

However, Jiang Wen also saw that although Lin Zixuan kept a low profile and usually did not say anything, he was never ambiguous, very steady, not exaggerated, and he was down-to-earth when he cooperated with such a person.
