"BJ People in New York" is a TV series that is filmed overseas throughout the whole process, and it requires a lot of money for film shooting, framing, field work, and actors' lives.

Li Chengru, the main investor, discussed with Tang Qin, and he followed the group throughout the process.

When Journey to the West in '83, he was the drama manager of the crew, and he was also in charge of the important task of selecting roles, and he was familiar with the role of the production director.

The crew from Tang Qin, Zheng Xiaolong, Feng Xiaogang, a group of more than 40 people to New York, as soon as the plane got off the plane, Zheng Xiaolong gave the big guy a vaccination, how did he get out, how do you have to go back in the future, if you stay in the United States alone, we will be punished when we go back......

Tang Qin looked at New York in the nineties on the car window, prosperous and rich. At this time, there was already a supermarket here, and most of the domestic salespeople were still picking things for customers.

Zheng Xiaolong's worries are not unreasonable, at this time, the various regiments that went to the United States finally ran away with the regiment commander......

"The least thing I'm worried about is your ......" Zheng Xiaolong smiled and sat down beside Tang Qin, everyone knows that Tang Qin's family has a beautiful wife, and foreigners can't understand Huangmei Opera.

"I'm worried about you, do we have enough money to spend?"

Tang Qin is telling the truth, Li Chengru really brought in many sponsors, plus their own money, the money is enough, but this is not as good as asking for money everywhere in China.

"In this way, I thought about it, we will shoot in two groups, I will take one group, and Xiaogang will bring one group," Zheng Xiaolong just wanted to finish filming in two months, "We don't stop ...... machines"

"Wait a while," Tang Qin looked at him with a sneer, "You really treat us as livestock, you two groups of people, there is always time to rest, we are an actor for one role, you don't let us sleep......"

"If you don't sleep, I'll accompany you." Zheng Xiaolong said with emotion.

In fact, he couldn't sleep even if he wanted to.

Li Chengru went to the United States with Zheng Xiaolong in advance for this play, and grew up in the capital since he was a child.

He runs a guest house here with a small hair named Hou Deli, and he eats and lives for 38 yuan a day.

Knowing that it was not easy for them to go abroad to film, they proposed to Li Chengru that 19 yuan would include food and accommodation and provide a vehicle, and the price of 19 yuan was also proposed with reference to the Chinese consulate in New York at this time The external standard of 17 yuan.

"No," Li Chengru refused, "We only have 500 yuan a month for food, housing, transportation, clothing and other expenses."

"This is not the capital, this is New York." His little hair almost made Li Chengru crooked his nose.

Li Chengru then began to look for a place to live in New York City, and also went to New Jersey to investigate, Zheng Xiaolong is in a hurry, there is no base camp without a residence, where to place these more than 40 people and machines?

Li Chengru is also anxious, the real money spent, this is all Tang Qin and his family, and some of it is brought by sponsorship, and the eggs can't be put in one basket, in case this TV series loses money.

Eventually, Lee rented a large villa on Long Island. In the villa where all the crew and actors lived, many actors even squeezed two people into a bed.

Li Chengru had no recruitment, so he had to carry forward the spirit of shamelessness and get 19 beds from Comrade Fa Xiao's guest house.

As soon as they settled down here, the FBI came to the door again, which made the comrades of the crew very puzzled.

It quickly became clear that matter.

The matter lies with Li Chengru, there is money in the country, he gives 1,200 tips, and he heard that Americans are also willing to tip, so he specially prepared 10,000 US dollars in change, and it was this 10,000 US dollars that attracted the attention of Americans.

Americans rarely have that much money on them, and this country has already started to use credit cards in the nineties......

The matter passed, but the notice from the American court came again.

When I first arrived in the United States, I was not familiar with the place and was not familiar with the traffic rules, and the traffic police in the United States heard that it was Chinese filming, and they did not reason with you, so they directly issued tickets and handed them over to the court......

Tired!

This is how Tang Qin felt during his first week in the United States.

More tired than him is Zheng Xiaolong, who has been in the United States for a week, and there is no heroine yet, and there is no supporting actress.

Chapter 225: The First Scene

Tang Qin could only smile bitterly, it was the first time he had entered such a crew.

There is no way, the crew has to race against time, so they can only shoot his scene first.

In later generations, the familiar scenes in TV dramas are actually our most ordinary street scenes in New York.

On the most ordinary street in Manhattan's East Village, no one would pay attention to the basement entrance beneath a modest residential building. This is where Wang Qiming and his wife first settled in the play - the basement that once made countless Chinese viewers in front of the TV set sigh.

The walls of the basement were covered with graffiti, but the inside was empty.

"This can't be done, this is a resident, there must be some daily necessities......" Li Chengru tilted his head.

"It's easy to do, go to the flea market, what old sofas, old furniture, old appliances, some are, old cars can also be bought......"

This is really done, Li Chengru really went to the flea market early the next morning, conjured up a bunch of furniture like magic, and also found a 41-inch large color TV.

"Tang Qin, our group, there is a play in the subway station today......" Feng Xiaogang was promoted to co-director by Zheng Xiaolong, "I have been going to see it for the past few days, an American girl is playing the violin there, we don't need to find extras......"

"Let's go." Tang Qin smiled and picked up his coat.

"Hey...... Tang ......" Feng Xiaogang seemed to be a little stunned, he wanted to say, but he didn't seem to be able to say anything.

"What's the matter, isn't that American girl there, you're late, what are you shooting today...... people are leaving" Tang Qin said and put on his coat.

"I mean, you have to put on makeup...... Your clothes are your own......" Feng Xiaogang said euphemistically, but Tang Qin couldn't understand.

"Just say it, don't beat around the bush."

Under Tang Qin's questioning, he finally figured out that on the first day of filming, he inadvertently offended the crew's costumes.

In the past, in the Qindao Repertory Theatre, the makeup was made by himself, and the costumes were picked from the treasury by himself, and when he arrived at the Journey to the West, the crews of the Red Mansion and the Three Kingdoms, they were all ancient costumes, and he didn't have to choose, but when it came to the crew of modern dramas, he wanted to be able to wear his own clothes, but this couldn't be done, which one of the crew's costumes was provided, and which one he still had to wear.

Tang Qin is also open-minded, and he is not embarrassed by clothing.

Feng Xiaogang made a gesture of gratitude, "A big name like you can still be so humble and kind, we really can't imagine ......"

"Wait," Tang Qin glanced at him, "Can you talk well, speak the words of people, and speak the words of ordinary people?" Say, how is this scene filmed? ”

This scene is a small scene, but it is the first scene of the crew.

Everyone wants to start filming, this is the crew's good start, and it is also Feng Xiaogang's good start as a director, "Tang Qin, there are too many people in the subway, they are all special foreigners, I'm afraid you won't be able to let go of ......"

Feng Xiaogang wore the hat of the domestic public security and smiled with his teeth.
