On this night, many Chinese living in New York saw a TV series that spoke Mandarin, and the scenes in this TV series felt very unfamiliar to them.

There are no high-rise buildings, no cars on the streets, not even too bright colors.

Compared to the hustle and bustle of New York, it was a monotonous city that felt like two worlds.

However, there is also a group of Chinese people living there, who have their own joys, sorrows, and sorrows.

Due to the tight time and the lack of time to make program adjustments, the American Chinese TV station did not carry out large-scale publicity for "Desire", but only made a two-day program preview.

For those viewers who didn't see the preview of the show, some people suddenly heard the Mandarin coming out of the TV, some people were curious and would continue to watch it, and some people immediately changed the channel and went to find their favorite Cantonese program.

There are five Chinese-language TV stations in New York, and there is plenty of room for viewers to choose from.

This is exactly what Lin Zixuan is worried about.

"Desire" is popular in China, in addition to the story can resonate with the people in China, it has a lot to do with the monopoly position of Huaguo TV.

Some areas can only receive Huaguo TV, and there is no choice.

It's different in New York, where viewers have a wide range of channels to choose from, and there's no need to just watch Chinese-language TV.

Besides, "Desire" is a slow-burning drama, it is interesting to watch it every day, and you can only feel the true feelings when you put it in.

Because of the broadcast time, Chinese TV stations in the United States can only broadcast one episode of "Desire" a day, and coupled with the habit of Cantonese viewers watching TV, Lin Zixuan knows that it is difficult for "Desire" to replicate the success of "Desire" in New York.

After watching "Desire", the crew members went back to their rooms to rest, and they will continue filming tomorrow.

Due to the fact that the crew members are not familiar with the New York people and have problems in communication, they have encountered a lot of trouble in filming these days.

For example, when filming a scene in the basement, the basement rented for cheapness was closer to the black neighborhood, and the law and order was chaotic, and the shooting equipment was missing if you accidentally died.

At this time, Chen Qing's role was reflected, after the crew's things were stolen, he ran to the nearby black market to find them, and these thieves were habitual thieves around.

A $200 stereo stolen by the crew sold for only $10 on the black market.

This kind of trivial matter can't be called to the police, once the police don't say how to deal with it, this whole day is not thinking about shooting, just dealing with the police, this is not the capital, there is no human relationship to talk about.

There is also the phenomenon of crew members getting lost, sometimes driving out to buy something, and not coming back for half a day.

Then, the call came back, and when I asked, I realized that I had gone the wrong way, and I went in the direction of Washington, D.C., and it was easy to find a public phone on the side of the road to reassure everyone.

As for the incidents of friction and negotiation with the locals during the filming process, there are endless incidents.

It's not that the crew deliberately caused trouble, most of the time it was a misunderstanding caused by cultural differences and living habits between China and the West.

For example, good buddies in Beijing will laugh and joke with each other on the street, but in New York, it may be considered insulting and provocative, and even considered an attack by the police.

There are also warnings and fines for smoking and littering in restaurants.

Although Lin Zixuan made preliminary preparations, he couldn't take into account all aspects of things, for this kind of sudden incident, he could only see the moves, he became a firefighter, and he solved similar troubles every day.

Back in the room, Mu Shanshan was a little worried about the prospect of the broadcast of "Desire".

She works at Huaguo TV and is now studying editing and directing at New York University, so she is very familiar with the way TV station ratings are counted.

"If the ratings don't meet expectations, how can you explain it to China?" Mu Shanshan said worriedly.

It is naturally an honor for Chinese domestic TV dramas to go abroad and broadcast in the capitalist United States, but the premise is to succeed, and once it fails, the person who put forward this opinion may be unlucky.

The way that the superior leader looks at the problem is very simple, not asking about the process, only looking at the result.

"Don't worry, as long as it can have an impact on the Chinese in the United States, it's a big deal to spend money to publish an article in a Chinese newspaper in New York, just say that "Desire" is warmly welcomed by the Chinese in the United States, let's send the newspaper back to China for the domestic media to reprint and ensure that the leaders are satisfied. Lin Zixuan came up with an idea.

"Wouldn't this be bad, it's a fraud to be found out. Mu Shanshan said worriedly.

"This can only be considered exaggerated propaganda. Lin Zixuan corrected, "If you want to open the market for Chinese TV programs in the United States, you can't just rely on one "Desire", you also need more and better TV programs, this is not something that can be done overnight, domestic leaders want to see the results, then give them results, and we have to continue to do the rest." ”

Lin Zixuan thought about the consequences, but he was not too worried about the domestic reaction.

In this era, the information at home and abroad is not smooth, everyone is reporting good news and not bad news, anyway, "Desire" is broadcast in the United States, it will definitely cause repercussions, and when the time comes, just pick a good one and send it back to China.

He will continue to promote domestic television programmes to other Chinese-language television stations.

In the United States, in addition to the Chinese TV station in New York, there is also a Chinese TV station in the western United States, and Yan Xiaofeng is the host of a Chinese TV station in New Jersey, which is Lin Zixuan's next sales target.

"That's okay, how can they think of the difficulty of doing things abroad, we are working hard. Mu Shanshan complained.

"Don't think about it, go to bed early, you have to shoot a documentary tomorrow." Lin Zixuan persuaded.

They were asleep, because the impact of the broadcast of "Desire" was just beginning.

Among the Chinese viewers who watched "Desire", there were people who went abroad from China, saw the familiar pictures on TV, listened to familiar voices, and thought of their relatives in their hometowns, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

Some viewers are Chinese-Americans born in New York and have never been to China at all, so they watched "Desire" because they were curious about China.

Some very old viewers immigrated to the United States in their early years, and when they saw the life in China on TV, they felt homesick.

Due to political reasons, the mainstream media in the United States has very little propaganda about China, and the radical media have even demonized China.

Even Chinese-language television stations in the United States rarely report domestic news, mostly reporting news about Xiangjiang and Baodao, and there are too few channels for Chinese living in the United States to obtain news in China.

In the impression of many Chinese, Huaguo is still the same as in movies, and those movies have a strong personal color, with the main theme of describing the poverty and backwardness of Huaguo, which is difficult to reflect the true face of Huaguo.

"Desire" is the first TV series to be broadcast on Chinese television in the United States to reflect the real life of China.

Overseas Chinese can learn about the lives of ordinary people in China, their thoughts, and their lives.
