The spring breeze in March is still the same.

Thank you, I'm in New York, and I just got off the plane.

The Statue of Liberty on the other side of the Atlantic holds a torch high, like a candle in the dark night that emits a charming light.

Young people from all over the world plunged into it with all kinds of dreams, some became moths to the fire, and some were reborn in Nirvana......

The TV series "Beijingers in New York" is a film co-directed by Feng Xiaogang and Zheng Xiaolong.

The story of the script is mainly based on the life and experience of a large number of young people who poured out of the country after the reform, or a story of wandering.

If you love him,

You take him to New York,

Because it's paradise there.

If you hate him,

You take him to New York,

Because it's hell there.

New York's Chinatown, Chinese restaurant Xiangyuan Building.

"Scene 3, Shot 4."

“action！”

Yu Yanqiao was wearing a white chef's suit, and there was a little yellow grease on it, and he stood behind the monitor.

He scratched his messy hair again, and the whole person stood there crookedly, giving people a bad impression of being raunchy.

This is the first time Yu Yanqiao has seen Jiang Wen, and there is still a gap between him and the man in front of the camera in later generations who exudes strong hormones and speaks magnetically.

What's the difference?

The precipitation of time.

If time is a cup of coffee, then the current ginger smell is green, astringent and bitter.

In the back kitchen of a Chinese restaurant with a noisy voice, Jiang Wen in front of the camera has long hair tied in a ponytail, and from time to time he skims the oblique bangs on his forehead,

It's like a rough man with a special taste who is making a gesture like a woman, how to look at it, how to feel disobedient, it's like asking Jiang Wen to play Cheng Dieyi, vomit~

"Hello, my name is Wang Qiming!"

Wang Qiming, a cello artist who originally lived comfortably in the capital and also had social status, plunged into the United States because his wife won a scholarship.

But instead of heaven, they were left with the embarrassment of life, and they fell into a terrible sense of disillusionment.

In order to make a living, Wang Qiming's hands that should have stroked the strings of the piano washed the plates.

Yu Yanqiao plays the role of David, a kitchen handyman in a Chinese restaurant, relying on his old kitchen qualifications, so he set up a score with Wang Qiming played by Jiang Wen.

The old traditions of all walks of life......

Yu Yanqiao held a cigarette between his left fingers, looked the other party up and down with a curious gaze, squinted at him, and pretended to say:

"I don't care what your special name is, from now on, I just need to do what I say you do, understand!"

Yu Yanqiao picked up the teacup and took a sip, his face was domineering, he tilted his head again, and repeated arrogantly:

"Oh, did you hear me?"

Obviously, I have lived in the polite world of "Hello, Mr. Wang" for many years, and I have suddenly entered the bottom, and my concept has not changed for a while.

Although he is an artist, Wang Qiming is also a master of the capital, a good master, his face stiffened, and he was still a little puzzled, and said stiffly:

"I'm here to work, not to be a slave!"

Since stepping into this land, Wang Qiming feels that his dignity is fading little by little, he is afraid that he will really become a dog in the eyes of people, and he wants to shout out to prove that he is a person.

As soon as the words fell, Yu Yanqiao seemed to hear a very ridiculous thing, he reached out and took the cigarette butt from his mouth, and put the teacup in his hand on the aluminum desk next to him.

He didn't immediately refute, but according to the script, he should answer immediately, he paused slightly, and Feng Xiaogang behind the monitor did not immediately shout "click", but continued to stare at the camera.

His gaze suddenly drifted, his lips squirmed slightly, but he didn't speak, leaning forward and turning back.

Suddenly, Yu Yanqiao's expression was no longer domineering, but became calm, calm and almost empty, without a soul,

It's like a person who once saw a corpse with blurred flesh and blood, and now repeats it again, his tone is smooth and slightly cool, and he says:

"It doesn't matter what you did before, but now you're here, washing dishes!

If you have money, you are a master, and if you don't have money, you are a slave, and if you have it, you will play your cello. ”

Jiang Wen, who was standing on the opposite role, seemed to feel that there was a reason for the other party to be so domineering at the moment, maybe he had been the same as himself, and he was also yelling at the world, he was not a dog.

But he felt that the thing was changing the play, but he didn't hear the director shouting "click", so he went along with the acting.

……

After the shooting, Yu Yanqiao immediately ran to Feng Xiaogang, took out a cigarette and gestured with his eyes:

"Brother Xiaogang, will you take a break?"

Feng Xiaogang didn't say anything, took the cigarette he handed over, nodded, and walked towards a place where there were fewer people.

"Brother Xiaogang, I'm sorry for you!"

"Yo, what's going on? You're welcome. ”

Feng Xiaogang glanced at the goods without being salty, and smoked the cigarette holder to himself.

Seeing this, Yu Yanqiao took out a note from his trouser pocket, handed it to Feng Xiaogang, and said:

"Brother Xiaogang, this is a character sample I made, and it is my understanding of some of the characters in this supporting role, you can take a look."

David, a native of China who has taken a foreign name, wants to get rid of his own stigma, and longs to integrate into this country.

But his yellow-skinned and black-haired appearance is always reminded by others that you don't belong here, and the final ending is the same, becoming a lost dog.

This gadget is a monster on the protagonist's growth path, and the character image is thin and direct.

Feng Xiaogang blinked his drunken eyes, handed over the note again, and said lightly:

"Except in my shots, you can make some changes to the characters without violating the overall framework, but you have to tell me in advance."

Feng Pants looked at Yu Yanqiao deeply, and said:

"Between the two of us, there are some things to say, but don't mess around in front of Director Zheng, otherwise I'm not very good at doing things!"

"I don't dare to shake my wit in front of Director Zheng, that is, in front of you, I dare to play some cleverness, I am here to make amends to you!"

Yu Yanqiao didn't care, and joked with Feng Xiaogang with a smile, which was obviously "intimate".

Feng Xiaogang raised the corners of his mouth, didn't say anything, just patted the shoulder of the goods, threw down the cigarette butt and returned to work.

……

Yu Yanqiao has been in New York for almost a week, and in addition to filming, he occasionally wanders around the set to see the difference in this "brave new world" that people from all over the world flock to.

With all kinds of hair and eyes, Yu Yanqiao felt that it was nothing, after all, he had watched too many films in "Even Mai Ka, Xie Te" before he was reborn, and he was no longer interested.

The only thing that he found interesting was that when he happened to pass by a street, when two black men quarreled,

Without saying a word, the two sides directly took out the classic M9 black pistol "Biu~Biu" and hid behind the car to shoot, staging a 9.3 version of the street scene.

On the other hand, Yu Yanqiao, of course, how far he goes, he is just an ordinary person.

is used to talking about something, and no matter how good he is, he can't kill people, so he thinks he is a cultural person.

So when he encounters this kind of person who pulls out a gun without saying a word, he feels that his mouth is a show to meet a soldier, don't be blind!

Fortunately, the work plan of the entire crew is quite smooth, although a bunch of Chinese people are adrift abroad, they are still huddled together to keep warm, so as not to feel lonely.

But on this day, because the crew had a scene to shoot on the street, but the crew did not apply for a domestic filming permit, so a group of people sneaked on the street, as if they were smuggling into the street.
