"Lao Mouzi will form a new team to prepare for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games."

……

At 9 a.m. on June 6, 2006, a group of people gathered in front of an ordinary single-family house in Paris.

Half of these people are East Asian faces, and half are white.

In the midst of them, a table was set up with some fruit on it, as well as an incense jar.

In front of the table, there is also a pair of lion dancers, as well as several people holding traditional Chinese musical instruments.

Li Shengyao was dressed in casual clothes, Cheng Long was standing next to him, and the eldest brother was still the same as before, dressed in Tang costume.

At this time, two people each held three sticks of incense.

The assistant director raised the microphone and shouted, "Hurricane Rescue is on."

In a burst of applause, Li Shengyao and Cheng Long went to incense together, and then Li Shengyao also sent red envelopes to the actors.

"Bell! Clang! Clang! ”

A few musicians began to play, and the pair of lion dancers began to work.

The group of white people were very excited, and including Amanda, they all took out their mobile phones and filmed the lion dance.

Li Shengyao didn't know much about lion dance, so after he handed out the red envelope, he stepped aside and watched quietly.

"Jackie, I love you."

"You are the best, and I will always support you."

"Cheng Long, I love you very, very much."

"Jackie, come on, I'll be coming to see you often."

Across the street from them, there were three or four hundred fans, who gathered together and shouted at Cheng Long.

These are all fans of Cheng Long, there are whites, Asians, blacks, men, women, some in English, some in French, and some in Chinese and Japanese.

Europe and the United States do not have fan organizations like Peninsula, except for watching fan clubs or concerts, fans rarely get together on a large scale.

This doesn't seem to be a big pomp in China, and the support club of any few draft stars is more lively and pompous than this.

But here, that's a pretty good influence.

Jing Tian turned around and looked at the fans, his eyes full of envy.

Amanda also had anticipation on her face.

In front of the two girls, there were five sturdy white men, with their hands clenched into fists, standing on the outermost side of the actors, looking at the fans opposite them with cold eyes.

These people are the people from the security company hired by Lee Shengyao, who were responsible for the safety of the members of the "Hurricane Rescue" crew during the filming of "Hurricane Rescue".

When they pass by, they will look at passers-by with scrutinizing eyes.

"Paris is very chaotic, especially there are a lot of thieves, you see the people here, where do they dare to play with their mobile phones, they are afraid of robbing people of their mobile phones, and the backpack is also, unlike in China, the back is on the back, and this side is hung on the chest."

Jing Tian's assistant was an eldest sister in her thirties, who whispered to Jing Tian about the situation in Paris.

In front of the fans across from them, there stood a line of policemen, heavily armed, not as nervous as the security company's people, but keeping their eyes on the lookout, constantly watching for suspicious people.

With Cheng Long's influence and the supervision of the Chinese Embassy, Paris has promised to increase police forces and strengthen patrols to ensure that there are no safety incidents during the filming of "Hurricane Rescue".

Compared to the mainland, Paris is not very hot in June, and there are many people wearing long sleeves and trousers on the streets.

Such clothing is conducive to concealing weapons and is conducive to the actions of thieves.

I don't know if it's deliberate, the average height of France is only in the early sevens of one meter, but the policemen who came to maintain law and order are all very tall.

After all, it is a big country, and it still needs to save face.

At this moment, another group of people rushed to the opposite side, these people are all East Asian faces, judging by their temperament and height, they should be island people.

Li Shengyao couldn't help frowning.

Cheng Long's charm is too great, and that group of fans is not only domestic, but also French, as well as some tourists who come to Paris.

The people of the archipelago who have just come here are probably tourists who have come to Paris.

With the communication of this era, Cheng Long is filming here, and the news will spread soon, and I am afraid that more and more fans will come to see him in the future.

That's the trouble.

Lee is scheduled to shoot in Paris for three months, that is, in June, July, August, and September, and rush to the beautiful country to try to finish it by the end of September, so that they can show the film in November or December.

In addition, Fran Xu is different from China, just shout casually when looking for extras, and most of the extras here have entered the actors' union.

They have to go to the actors' union to pick people, this is the system here.

All films shot in France require a certain level of Screen Actors Guild membership.

Li Shengyao and they have already selected the actors, and if they drag it out and can't complete the filming in time, the cost will naturally be higher.

So Li Shengyao values time very much, he looked at the Cheng Long fans who gradually poured over, and his brows became more and more wrinkled.

The lion dance continued, and Cheng Long seemed to be in a good mood, greeting the fans with a smile on his face.

"Ah, Cheng Long, I love you."

"Jackie, you're my favorite, marry me."

"Look at me, look at me....... Please. ”

Fans were even happier when they saw Cheng Long waving their hands, and they shouted one after another.

The sound was loud, even a little harsh.

Li Shengyao shook his head, planning to find time to chat with Cheng Long, he felt that he should control the behavior of fans, after all, this is not a domestic country, and the requirements for personal living environment are much higher.

At this moment, a police car came and stopped at Li Shengyao's side, a middle-aged man in his forties, with all his hair in front of him, got out of the car, he then found Cheng Long, asked Cheng Long to sign a group photo for him, and after the incident, the translator took this person to find Li Shengyao.

"Director, this is Officer Lance in charge of policing this community, and he has something to tell you."

When Li Shengyao heard this, he immediately shook hands with Lance.

Lance then looked up, his tongue flicking around, and said something.

Lee stepped back a little so as not to be hit by Lance's saliva.

The translator then told the meaning of Lance's words just now, it turned out that Lance felt that Cheng Long's influence was too great, and so many fans came over, which was a huge challenge to the security of this community.

Li Shengyao fully agrees with this sentence, and he was just worried about this issue.

"Mr. Director, there are four questions."

"First, there are too many fans, and it will become very noisy here, but there are still many people living here in this area, and they need a quiet living environment, and if your crew is complained, it will be very troublesome."

"Second, the fans gather here, some people come by car, some people walk, some people ride bicycles, which makes the traffic pressure in this area very much, and our roads are relatively narrow, which is very dangerous."

"Thirdly, there are a lot of thieves in Paris, and now is the time when thieves are active, these fans are so close, they are easy targets for thieves, and if someone has their finances stolen, I believe it will not affect you well."

"Fourth, the police force in this area has already been arranged above, and I don't have the right to send more people over, in fact, all my subordinates have come over, but you see, there are too many fans, we are understaffed, if there is an emergency, it is difficult for us to deal with it."

The interpreter told Li Shengyao what Lance said, and he nodded as he listened, and then asked, "Officer Lance, do you have any suggestions?"

In his opinion, since Officer Lance knew the seriousness of the problem, he should have some suggestions.

"I don't know, it's not something I'm going to think about, it's your problem, I'm just going to tell you the seriousness of the matter, you need to deal with it seriously."

Lance said with a poised remark, then nodded and strode away.

Fans are still shouting loudly, in any language.

The pair of lion dancers heard the words of the fans and became even more excited, and did several difficult movements in a row.

The shouts were louder.

Some fans jumped up, as if they wanted to run on the set.

Li Shengyao looked at the top of Lance's shiny head, and was a little speechless in his heart.

But he knew very well that this officer could mess up, but he couldn't.

This matter needs to be carefully discussed with Cheng Long.

Soon after, the lion dance ended, and the young couple of lion dancers, as well as several elderly people playing traditional instruments, left.

However, a middle-aged man in a suit held Jackie Chan's hand and talked endlessly, as if he had endless words.

This is a member of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce.

Tonight, Li Shengyao and Cheng Long will go to a banquet at the Chinese Chamber of Commerce.

Li Shengyao actually didn't really want to go, he still had to think about filming, but this kind of entertainment obviously couldn't be pushed off.

The people from the Chinese Chamber of Commerce chatted with Cheng Long for about half an hour, and then they were reluctant to leave.

Lee Shengyao has already arranged for the field workers and assistant directors to prepare, and he plans to start filming today.

The makeup artist has already put on Amanda's makeup and is waiting for Cheng Long.

At this moment, a small car came and stopped outside the set, and two men came down from the car, one of whom Li Shengyao knew, and it was the famous Jean Renault.

This French national treasure actor is cool most of the time in movies, whether it is Hollywood or French movies.

He was indeed smiling at this time, like a happy child.

There is no doubt that this is Cheng Long's fan, and he came to visit the class.

Cheng Long saw Jean Renault and naturally went over to greet him.

Li Shengyao also went over to chat a few words, and then he left, looking at Cheng Long so busy.

He estimated that maybe there would be some big names coming over later, and if he really had to wait for Cheng Long to finish his work, he wouldn't even think about filming this morning.

He thought about it and planned to shoot the scene between Amanda and Jingtian first.

"Adjust the shooting sequence, we are mainly filming my daughter and her girlfriend these days, or her personal drama."

The assistant directors all understood what Li Shengyao meant, and no one said anything, and the workers immediately re-prepared.

……

The later development is really the same as Li Shengyao predicted, Cheng Long is too famous in France, and celebrities come to visit the class from time to time.

There are actors, hosts, directors, and some luxury owners.

I have to say that this row of noodles is definitely the first among Chinese, no wonder Cheng Long often goes to see foreign countries.

This row of noodles is really too much.

The filming of the afternoon of the first day was over, and Cheng Long had time here.

Li Shengyao announced that he would get off work today, and then asked the cast workers to go back to the hotel first, and he, Cheng Long, Jing Tian, and the assistants of the three went to the hotel where the Chinese Chamber of Commerce held a banquet.

At this time, there were about 300 fans on the opposite side of their set, who shouted excitedly when they saw Cheng Long traveling.

Cheng Long waved his hand, and the fans were even more excited.

"I'll go sign them."

Many people stood for almost a day, and Cheng Long went over to sign, which was right.

Half an hour later, Cheng Long waved goodbye to the fans, and then entered the car.

Jing Tian sat in the co-pilot's seat.

Li Shengyao and Cheng Long sat in the back row.

Cheng Long looked apologetic, "Director Li, I'm really embarrassed today, I didn't expect them to be so enthusiastic." ”

Li Shengyao shook his head, "This is all as it should be, if it were me, I would do it like you." ”

Jing Tian immediately followed and said: "Yes, big brother, you are really too popular, and the fans here are also enthusiastic."

Li Shengyao waited for Jing Tian to finish speaking, and then seriously repeated Officer Lance's words, and finally said: "Big brother, the police here won't help us solve the problem, we need to figure it out ourselves."

Cheng Long heard this and nodded, "Director Li, you're right, this matter can't be sloppy, especially the safety issue, if something bad happens because of my fans' impact on traffic, it will be very bad for us." ”

He continued, "Do you have any ideas?"

is related to filming, and Li Shengyao has naturally thought of a solution for a long time.

"Big brother, I have three ideas here, you can see if it's okay."

"You say."

Li Shengyao cleared his throat, and then said: "The first point is that we find a local media and do an interview, so that I need you to say something about the safety of fans after the reporter asks, and then guide them to chase stars in a civilized manner."

"The second point is that I think the fans' intentions are good, and you can't chill the hearts of the fans, so let's pick a few times and choose a more spacious and safe place for you to get close to the fans."

"The third point is that we also want to promote the humanistic spirit of our crew, and find a time for everyone to go to the nearby orphanage to do charity."

Regarding the first point, it is natural to do it.

Li Shengyao hopes that there will be fewer fans who come to the set every day to watch, preferably less than 100 people, so that it will not affect the traffic.

The second point is that it is better to be blocked, if you don't show fans to see idols, they will naturally be dissatisfied, and they will still go to the set to watch.

Cheng Long held a few fan meetings, which can somewhat satisfy some fans.

The third point is to set up a character for yourself in advance, showing that the crew of "Hurricane Rescue" is full of love and is a positive, peaceful and kind group.

Let the reporters render it and let the French see their sincerity.

In this case, if something bad happens in the future, the common people or journalists have a preconceived idea.

shouldn't be too strict with their crew, maybe they can open up the net.

When Cheng Long heard this, he nodded, and then gave a thumbs up, "Director Li, I have filmed outside, and I know that filming abroad is really difficult." ”

"You thought so thoughtfully the first time you filmed abroad, you are really amazing."

He added: "It's all right, but it's not just once, it's once a month, the more the better, and people abroad like to watch it."

"You're right."

……

Ten days later, still on the set of filming in Paris, the crew of "Hurricane Rescue" was across the road with about a hundred fans, who sometimes let out some excited shouts.

However, compared to the three or four hundred people on the first day, the momentum is much smaller.

The security of the security company, as well as the patrolling police, both parties ensured, ensuring the smooth filming of the crew.

In order to keep these fans from being stolen, Lee Shengyao also had a few cards set up on the opposite side.

The cards write beware of strangers and beware of thieves.

Such a move made Lance very satisfied, and he brought his son to the set specially to take a photo, first, to take a photo with Cheng Long, and secondly, to express his recognition of Li Shengyao.

"You handled it very well, it saved us a lot of trouble, and if all of us could be as smart as you are, then we could save a lot of time to do something more meaningful."

……

Half a month has passed in a flash, and the filming of "Hurricane Rescue" has become more and more smooth.

Especially Amanda and Jing Tian, most of the two of them are literary dramas, and they are progressing very quickly.

On a beautiful evening, Jing Tian's play was finished, and Lee Shengyao held a small celebration ceremony.

However, Jingtian was very cold to him.

The little beauty probably has the feeling of being broken by an idol now.

Li Shengyao took Amanda back to the room several times, and showed it to Jing Tian.

Li Shengyao naturally doesn't care, he is not a person all the way, and he has no idea about Jingtian.

"Director, Jing Tian said that she would not go back, she would stay in the crew and learn filming."

"You can learn the same at home, Paris is chaotic, you persuade her and let her return to China quickly."

The assistant director was ordered to leave and came back shortly after, "Director, she said that Amanda has good acting skills, and she wants to learn from Amanda. ”

Li Shengyao didn't bother to pay attention to whether Jing Tian's words were true or not, he waved his hand and continued to work.

That night, at half past twelve in the morning, in the hotel suite, Li Shengyao was studying with Amanda for physical fitness, and at this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Li Shengyao thought it was a waiter, but he ignored it, and at this moment, Cheng Long's voice faintly sounded outside.

At this time, what is the matter?

Li Shengyao cleaned up, then put on his pajamas, opened the door, and saw Cheng Long with a strange face.

"Director Li, something happened, let's find a place to talk."

A moment later, Li Shengyao and Cheng Long came to Cheng Long's room, and he found that in addition to Cheng Long, there were also three martial artists in the family class.

"Hurricane Rescue" has a large number of action scenes, not only need to design actions for Cheng Long, but also for those villains.

One or two action directors are naturally too busy, and this time there are eight action directors in the family class.

These three martial artists are in their early forties, they are all very Hong Kong, the whole person looks lean, his face is very tight, the whole person is energetic, and he looks very energetic.

Hong Kong Islanders are like that.

Li Shengyao was not surprised, but at this time, the three people lowered their heads, like children who had made mistakes.

What would happen to someone in their forties?

"Big brother, what's wrong?"

"Director Li, these three bastards have lost all the face of the family class."

Li Shengyao is still puzzled.

Cheng Long then sighed and explained the matter.

It turned out that after work today, the three of them were full of food and drink, feeling energetic and had nowhere to vent, so the three of them went to the red light district of Paris.

After some dredging, the three of them were refreshed and very happy.

But I didn't expect to meet a reporter who took a click on the three people.

The reporter directly identified himself and said that he would see the newspaper tomorrow, and then left with a smile.

These three martial artists are not stars, they used to film with Cheng Long, and they would also go out to play, and they were all fine before.

But I didn't expect to meet an eventful reporter this time.

The three of them felt that this matter was not easy to handle, so they hurriedly came back and told Cheng Long about the matter.

The person who practices martial arts is strong and strong, and it is normal to need to vent, these three people have often played like this before, and they didn't get sick, they seem to be experienced and veteran.

After listening to Cheng Long's words, Li Shengyao thought for a while and asked, "Do you know what newspaper that reporter is?"

At this time, online self-media is not popular, and it is mainly paper media.

If you know what newspaper it is, you may be able to discuss.

After all, they are people from the entertainment industry, and they came to make a movie, but the staff went out to prostitute themselves, if they were in the mainland, this incident would definitely affect the reputation of the crew.

Li Shengyao was not sure what the people in France would think, but he still hoped that it would not be exposed, so as not to spread back to the mainland.

The three martial artists glanced at each other, then shook their heads in embarrassment.

Obviously, when these three people were photographed at that time, they were still in a state of confusion, and they didn't react at all.

Li Shengyao shook his head speechlessly, "Big brother, this is difficult, there should be many newspapers in Paris, we can't ask one by one, this will have a greater impact." ”

Cheng Long shook his head, "We can't expand this matter, let's wait and see if there are any calls." ”

Li Shengyao thought for a while, "If there is no call, let our people buy a copy of the Paris newspaper tomorrow, and we will see if there is a report." ”

He then went back to his room and went to sleep.

Amanda was waiting for Li Shengyao, and when she saw him come in, she immediately pounced.

Li Shengyao was a little excited, after all, something like this happened to the crew.

"Lee, what's wrong?"

Lee Shengyao told the story again.

Amanda heard this, and then laughed, "Honey, isn't that a good thing? Why bother? ”

"A good thing?"

"Yes, there are so many women in Paris doing this job, and the three of them helped three poor women in Paris to get them to finish a business."

Li Shengyao paused slightly, and then came back to his senses.

The fact that the Chinese can't stand it doesn't mean that the French can't stand it.

You think it's an insult to the law, but in fact people don't care at all.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, and then he was about to get up and tell Cheng Long, when he came to the door of the room, stopped, turned around and hugged Amanda, "Come on, weren't you unconvinced just now, let's fight again." ”

"No, it's two."

……

The next morning, Li Shengyao took Amanda downstairs for breakfast refreshed, and then met Cheng Long and his assistant holding a stack of newspapers.

Cheng Long should have slept badly last night, his eyes were a little bloodshot, the dark circles under his eyes were a little heavier, and his hair was weakly attached to his scalp.

But at this time, he was full of smiles and seemed to be in a good mood.

"Director Li, we don't have to worry, they didn't reveal their identities at all."

Cheng Long then handed a newspaper to Mr. Lee.

"It was the reporter of this newspaper who photographed the three of them, but the reporter did not know the identities of the three of them, and the reporter used the photos of the three of them to write a news, saying that tourists from East Asia like beautiful French women very much, they promote the development of the tertiary industry, and Paris can carry out targeted propaganda for foreign tourists, so that they can find those red light districts more easily."

This......

It's really French.

The Chinese people think completely differently from them.

Not only did they not feel insulted, but they were also very proud.

Li Shengyao thought for a while, and then said: "Big brother, you shouldn't have slept last night, just rest in the morning, and then start the play in the afternoon."

"No, it's trivial."

Li Shengyao nodded, "Big brother, those three people should let them go back to Hong Kong Island, France doesn't care about this kind of thing, but the mainland and Hong Kong Island should care, there can't be a second time, otherwise maybe the mainland media will know." ”

When Cheng Long heard this, he didn't answer for a while.

Li Shengyao then said: "Change three people."

The person in the family class is actually Cheng Long's younger brother.

As a role model for men in the world, Cheng Long certainly doesn't think it's a bad thing for the three little brothers to support the tertiary industry.

The bad thing is that the three of them didn't wear masks when they went out, and if they wore masks, then there was no.

Li Shengyao didn't mean to blame the three martial artists, but during the filming, he still hoped that they would be smarter.

At least don't let the reporter get his face slapped.

Letting the three martial artists return to Hong Kong Island can be regarded as a wake-up call for others.

It's not that you guys won't be allowed to play, but be careful.

"Okay, I'll buy them a ticket and let them go in the afternoon."

Li Shengyao then chatted with Cheng Long for a while, and then left with Amanda.

There was a Chinese restaurant next to their hotel, and Lee Shengyao ate noodles, while Amanda went to the bakery next door to buy bread and then came back to sit with him.

Lee did not force Amanda to promote Chinese food.

Many people find Chinese food to be the most delicious food in the world.

In fact, the vast majority of Europeans and Americans go to the mainland, most of the time they eat hamburgers or bread, and go to KFC and McDonald's to eat.

There aren't that many people who like Chinese food at all.

Of course, this does not mean that Chinese food is not good, it can only be said that everyone is good.

Different cultures have their own favorite things.

It's like last night, and it's definitely going to be fried in the mainland, but the French are still very happy.

Lee found this cultural difference very interesting, and it taught him a lot.

After breakfast, Lee Shengyao took Amanda to the filming set, the filming will continue, and they will finish the French scene before September.
