Having just arrived in Canada, Chen Xi now has a familiar feeling.

After all, they participated in the Toronto Film Festival in Canada and got a good ranking......

This time, Chen regretted that they were not only going to Canada, but also to the United States......

They had to travel between Vancouver, Canada, and New York, USA.

There is also a long distance from Vancouver, Canada to New York, but for Chen Xi, this is not particularly different, after all, the current United States and Canada are almost the same country, and Canada has handed over its own defense to the United States.

This cross-border shooting is indeed a very testing thing for Chen Xi.

Every time they shot before, they were only in China, and the farthest one was also in Nanyun, which felt that it was relatively far, and now it is directly across the ocean......

And you have to accept the filming laws of Canada when filming a lot of things here, the laws on their side are much more troublesome than those in China, and the Chinese crew sometimes even really has no human rights or anything, especially some extras are more miserable.

Chen Xi has a lot of these things in his memory......

There is a movie filming water play, and the extras are soaked in the water, but because there are some contradictions between a big name and the crew, this big name delays the filming progress, and these extras are really too troublesome to climb out of the water, and it takes a lot of extra costs, so no one in the crew cares about these extras, everyone is just wandering in the big name.

So these guys soaked until the afternoon, and their skin was white, but there was nothing they could do...... In the crew, sometimes things are like that, if you are not famous, or even just an extra, then no one will care about you. No one cares about you, except for some things, everyone won't think about you, and the crew would rather give a lot of money to the big names than half of the ordinary group performers.

Diao silk has no human rights, and sometimes it is.

But the various laws here are relatively perfect, of course, don't think that other people's laws are really good people just because they seem to be more powerful and perfect, there is absolutely no problem of abusing actors in filming here, in fact, there are still more here, but people are more hidden.

Where there are people. There are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are policies and countermeasures!

There's something here that makes Chen Xi the most unhappy......

That is, on the Canadian side, there are strict rules in the law, and there is a tacit understanding between the cast and crew, which can be regarded as an unspoken rule: once it's time to get off work, they can immediately pick on you, even if you wear out your mouth. He wouldn't dare if he didn't want to, because it was after work, and even if you convinced him to do it, he would have to ask for money.

In China. How can there be so many things, if you are in a crew, you have to work overtime, and overtime pay and the like depend on whether the director wants to buy people's hearts...... This is also the unspoken rule of Chinese filming. This is also a cultural difference. Of course, strictly speaking, these filming systems on the side of Canada and the United States can be regarded as progress, and China is also accustomed to Chinese characteristics. Many things are different from other people's, of course, if you want to take out the efficiency of China's crew, it is obviously relatively high, but the quality is a short board because of many problems such as funds.

…… Chen Xi and their crew, there will inevitably be a lot of foreign employees, both in the United States and Canada, not only do they ask for a lot of wages, but they also ask for overtime wages directly, which makes Chen Xi a little annoyed...... Although he knew that it made sense logically, he ......

When he was in China, every time he worked overtime, although he didn't pay overtime, Chen Xi would give everyone money to buy something to eat, which was also one of the reasons why Chen Xi was more popular and the crew was very convinced.

But now they have to adapt to a new set of rules, and the rules are separate from the Chinese and foreigners...... After all, there are things that can't be spoiled by foreign friends casually, human beings are frugal to luxury, from luxury to thrift, just like those countries in Europe, the government is constantly improving welfare, which seems to be a good thing, but this welfare thing can no longer be lowered, so the government's finances continue to collapse, all kinds of things are happening, many countries are just struggling to support, and there are even terrible things like the four pigs in Europe......

Chen Xi is relatively conscientious in the Chinese crew, but if you have to ignore some actual situations and raise the members of their crew to the level of foreign friends, then it will be almost impossible to mix it up, this is not only a matter of increasing expenses, but also changing the rules of the industry without authorization, this kind of thing is not something that Chen Xi's current identity can do, he has already made a lot of enemies, and he doesn't want to provoke a few more like this.

Chen Xi also came to a series of English now, and began to give orders, so the people in China and the United States in the crew began to get busy, this shot is the part where Wen Jiajia sells bags at the beach, this paragraph is actually more important to show the character of the characters in the movie, if this paragraph is not filmed well, for Wen Jiajia, many people just position her as a gold worshipper, a shameless mistress and the like......

The role of this paragraph is indeed very great, and many viewers have changed some of their views on Wen Jiajia through this paragraph, and then began to reverse their impression of Wen Jiajia little by little.

"Tang Wei, your performance is still a little wrong." After this one was filmed again, Chen Xi walked to Tang Wei's side, and the others were busy rearranging.

Tang Wei was listening to Chen Xi very certically.

It was bitterly cold in Canada in January, and the wind blowing from the Pacific Ocean had a fierce biting smell, and they couldn't stand it in the cold. Although Tang Wei is wearing a lot now, his ears have long been frozen red.

Tang Wei is indeed very convinced of Chen Xi, the director, these days, she found that Chen Xi is not only well-known now, and made a box office movie with 200 million, and the problem of really breaking with Zhuang Guofei at the director's meeting, but also in filming, his control over the entire crew, and the subtle things of the actors, I am also quite strong......

In addition, there is another point, Chen Xi seems to be confident about Yiqiē, and there are almost no waste shots after really shooting, Chen Xi's control of many things is in his heart.

"You need to show Wen Jiajia's naivety here, and there is a kind of optimism, of course, this is a superficial statement, if I want to tell you, Wen Jiajia is actually a more girlish person, she has her own persistence and kindness, in this paragraph, many of her feelings, or you need to experience it yourself."

Tang Wei nodded and said, I know.

In fact, Tang Wei and Wu Xiubo's performances are okay, these two actors make Chen Xi feel very good, because in this way, there are very few shots.

After Chen Xi's play, Tang Wei's performance was also much more vivid......

Chen Xi's goal is to finish filming all the scenes in the United States before the Chinese New Year, and then go back to China for the New Year's holiday, and then come back to China for the New Year's holiday, and then come back after the New Year to finish filming this film, and they can only have two days of filming time on the Empire State Building in the United States, after all, the Empire State Building is not light on this side of the movie. They only gave Chen Xi and others two days, and they only gave two hours a day! This is almost a nightmare for such a large crew, so they can only let the actors put on makeup in advance and prepare everything in advance......

Chen Xi and they could only choose the time period from six o'clock to eight o'clock, and after eight o'clock, the tourists came up, and the crew was not allowed to continue filming, so Chen Xi only had two hours of time......

In this way, Tang Wei and Wu Xiubo had to get up at three or four o'clock in the morning to put on makeup, and even put on makeup on the road to come here, and then start shooting...... This kind of filming process is still quite difficult, especially for Chen Xi, who basically doesn't want to sleep in New York these days, because he has a lot of things to do here, so he can only come over to deal with it all the time.

These two days were really a difficult shooting for Chen Xi, but they still survived the two days in the Empire State Building, and the shots were still good, anyway, they got a lot of material, and they were lucky, they just happened to shoot the sunrise over the Empire State Building, and the shooting here is basically perfect!

So a few days before the Chinese New Year, "Beijing Meets Seattle" finally filmed all the scenes in the United States and Canada, it can be said that this film has been completed across borders, and then Chen Xi and their entire crew ran back to China by plane, after returning to China, Chen Xi didn't have time to care about other things now, he just explained most of the company's affairs and planned to go home.

Now Chen Xi hasn't been home for a while, and now he has to go back.

A lot of the filming equipment in "Beijing Meets Seattle" is now available in the company, which relatively does not cost too much time, energy and money to suspend the film crew in the middle, and the loss of not filming for a few days during the Chinese New Year is not too big.
