After establishing these places, Lin Yu wrote them down one by one in his notebook, and then there was another thing to worry about,...... The forest fish has never been abroad.

Before going to Xiaori, I was still accompanied by the crew throughout the whole process, and now I am going to the United States, and I can only solve the mess of the strategy by myself.

Lin Yu pondered for a while, and still solved this small problem according to the idea of making a movie, that is, to break down a completely unknown thing to do.

As a result, going abroad has become, visas, plane tickets, translation, accommodation, and negotiations.

Immediately, this problem was much easier to solve.

But Lin Yu still planned to find someone to ask for advice first, Lin Yu first asked the teachers in the school, and they recommended a teacher who went abroad all the year round to talk to Lin Yu.

The other party is a middle-aged man in his forties, because of the trivial matters of school, he often travels abroad, and he can be said to be a know-it-all about living abroad.

"Are you going to sign an abandoned mental hospital and transform it into a filming base?" Xu Han glanced at Lin Yu up and down, and couldn't help laughing, "Ah Yu, I've heard of you, you are very famous in our school, and you want to go abroad to make movies alone?" Courageous. ”

"But I suggest you shoot it in China."

"Why?"

"Trouble." Xu Han glanced at Lin Yu and said, "Is it so simple to go abroad to make a movie?" Just take a camera and shoot it for you? As far as I know, first of all, the laws vary from state to state, and in most cases, you need to get a permit to shoot first. ”

"Secondly, you also have to obtain a 'no objection letter' from the local film union, if you can't get these two, you may not even be able to get a visa."

"This no-objection letter is not simply your application and it will be approved for you, as I know, it is divided into two kinds: O1-A and O1-B, the former needs to meet six conditions at the same time, and the latter has fewer materials, but it is also troublesome."

"When you arrive in the local area, at your age, and there is no national literary and artistic unit to give you a certificate, I don't think any abandoned hospital will be willing to use it for you."

To put it simply, it is more cumbersome to shoot movies abroad than at home!

After all, people want to censor you, God knows if you are going to make a movie or secretly filming the secrets of other people's national construction units, right?

You have to take a camera, click and shoot casually, and the local residents will report it to you the next day and send you to the bureau.

"Okay, thank you, teacher."

Coming out of Xu Han, the forest fish was one head and two big.

It's ten times more troublesome than I imagined, to put it simply, if you want to go to the United States to make a movie, you need to get at least two licenses, one, the 'shooting permit' of the local film association

Second, the no-objection letter from the local trade union.

With these two, I can take the crew to pass the visa and go abroad to film, which is so troublesome!

It was easy to think about oneself!

In the original impression, Detective Chinatown 2 galloped on Times Square in New York, and what people showed off was not the funds, but the connections.

"Before doing things, you still have to ask carefully, just a small pit, others may have paid a very heavy price, but to tell you, it only takes three seconds."

It's not a bad thing to ask.

After thinking about it, Lin Yu was hard-headed, and made a phone call to Director Liu Weiqiang, and it was really embarrassing to trouble Andy Lau again.

In the afternoon, three calls were made one after another, and the third was answered by the secretary, informing Liu Weiqiang that he was busy and would call back at about five o'clock in the afternoon.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Weiqiang really called back.

"Ahh On the phone, Liu Weiqiang's hearty voice came out, "Call me for something." ”

"Director, I'd like to ask you about something." Lin Yu told Liu Weiqiang about his desire to go abroad to make movies, including the two visas.

"Yo, I'm really going to make my own movie, I'll go abroad to shoot when I come up, it's so big? What a subject. As soon as he heard this, Liu Weiqiang became energetic.

When he first shot the initial D, Liu Weiqiang taught himself a lot, and he saw that Lin Yu was more interested in the language of the camera.

On the other end of the phone, Liu Weiqiang smoked a cigarette.

"Actually, it's not that troublesome, it's simple, depending on which state you go to, what kind of movie you make, you don't necessarily have to have a shooting permit, so let's give you a call, his name is Lao Xing, who is specifically responsible for docking with foreign film associations, and the industry insiders who belong to this area, he pays him a little consulting fee, and he can do anything for you."

"Okay, that's it, I'll get in touch when I have something."

"Thank you, Director Liu."

Click, the conversation hung up directly, Liu Weiqiang's style Lin Yu is also familiar, and in less than a minute, a phone number was sent to Lin Yu, and Lin Yu took this number and dialed it.

On the other end of the phone, a voice like a male duck's voice soon came out, "It's Mr. Lin, right, Director Liu told me just now." ”

"On our side, it mainly depends on which state you go to make a movie, the policies are different from place to place, if you are troublesome, we will help you do this here."

"You come up with some materials and scripts, we will report to you for review, and the license can be ...... in about a month, provided that the script can't go wrong."

"What about our side, we will charge you a handling fee of 20,000 yuan."

20,000, it's really a lot, it's just a poor information, newcomers can't handle it, all aspects have to be eaten by others, and when they are familiar with it, they don't need to pay for this unjust head in the future.

"Yes, but you have to assure me that nothing will happen."

"Don't worry, I've been doing this for almost seven years." On the other end of the phone, the man said in a hearty tone.

"I have one more thing." Lin Yu told this old Xing about his desire to build an abandoned mental hospital.

"That's it." Lao Xing paused, and then said, "You are not a local, this is really troublesome, like this kind of abandoned mental hospitals, hospitals, etc., there is a thirty percent probability that it is in the hands of some individuals, and it belongs to the personal assets abandoned by others, which is more troublesome." ”

"The other seventy percent probability is in the hands of the state government, which is also troublesome, and under normal circumstances, others will not bother you,...... Hey, this one is my business too. ”

"50,000 yuan for labor fees, I'll definitely talk about this for you, how about it?"

"I don't have to pay 50,000 yuan in rent." Lin Yu said coldly, "You go to negotiate the price, won't you take a cut of it?" ”

The other side was quiet for a few seconds, and even laughed embarrassedly, "The 30,000 are all friends of Director Liu." ”

"Twenty thousand, and the signed contract, the amount, I must clearly see it above."

"Huh? I said this comrade? ”

"Otherwise, I'll find someone else to do it."

"Okay, okay, okay." The other party complained on the phone, "Listen to your voice, you don't look like you're an adult, hey, it's not easy to earn money now,...... So, you're planning to go there first and then go on a field trip? ”

"Let's make an appointment to meet somewhere first, let's talk about it first, you have to pay for my plane ticket."

Hanging up the phone, Lin Yu took a deep breath. This kind of old fritter in society, brokers. Listening to his cheerful promise, Lin Yu knew that there were still pits.

He only sounded like he had earned 40,000 yuan, as if he was still very smart, maybe he hung up the phone, and people still thought he was a stupid fat sheep.

But I can't help it, I just entered an unfamiliar industry, and this is the tuition fee.

I added WeChat to this man with the name of Xingxue, and soon an address was sent, far away, in Qizhou, more than a thousand kilometers away from here, and I had to take a plane.

"Look at the director who wrote it, scolded Fang Xuan, and casually took out a movie script, regardless of whether it was suitable for the local area, and when he shot it blindly, he immediately exploded."

"Hey, why am I so tired of being a director, like a nanny."

Lin Yu shook his head, this is still because his team is not mature enough, and in the future, all these trivial things can be thrown to the business to do, and he can just make a good movie by himself.

But now, I can only take one step at a time, and this path is not easy to take.

I asked for leave from the school clearly, Lin Yu now holds the IP of ghost shadows, and he still has a very big voice in the school, and he talked to the director of the Academic Affairs Office, and immediately approved all the next time for Lin Yu.

From now on, until the start of the next semester, the forest fish can be disused.

After solving this worry, Lin Yu bought a ticket and flew directly to Qizhou.

On the crowded plane, the front and rear rows are completely unable to stretch their feet, and taking the plane is quite a dull thing.

On the contrary, there is a taste of squeezing the green train with the uncles of migrant workers.

During this period, there was also a "leakage" of luggage brought by an aunt, and the flight attendants were busy wiping for a long time, tossing back and forth for half an hour before the plane took off.

The forest fish put on an eye patch, leaned against the window of the plane and fell asleep.

Three hours later, the plane landed smoothly, and the ears became buzzing because of the inconsistent air pressure in the eardrum, and it was already eight o'clock in the evening when I got off the plane and left the airport.

Lin Yu took a taxi, went to the hotel that was fixed, collapsed and rested, sent a message to Lao Xing on his mobile phone and then went to sleep.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Lin Yu went out, the style of Qizhou and Qinzhou is completely different, it seems to be a lot backward here, the surrounding high-rise buildings also look "dilapidated", the street is also a little dirty, and the population is not much.

The taxis in the car were also rampant.

took a taxi and met up with the coffee shop agreed by Xing Xueming, Lin Yu ordered a cup of coffee for himself first, and then waited for someone.

Half an hour later, a man with shiny hair, a briefcase under his arm, and leather boots walked in.

As soon as people stand in front of the coffee shop, they look like they are here to hand out flyers, not like customers.

"Lao Xing, here."

Xing Xueming followed the voice and immediately trotted in, "Teacher Lin, so young?" ”

Xing Xueming said with a smile on his face, and glanced up and down at Lin Yu.

Lin Yu didn't say anything, took out a note, and put it on the table, "This is the information I looked up on the Internet, and I need to talk about the 'school' and the mental hospital locally at the same time, you can take a look." ”

Xing Xueming smiled, touched his side, his expression couldn't help but stiffen, and there was only a cup of coffee in front of Lin Yu on the table.

The young man was folding his legs and looked at him faintly.

Xing Xueming laughed dryly, didn't talk nonsense, picked up this note and read it, he knew that the young man in front of him was disgusted with him, and it was indeed his own fault, he could mix in this circle, and he couldn't judge people by his appearance.

At this age, at most, it is just a lack of experience, which does not mean that the mind is immature, these are two problems.

"New Jersey, don't think about it." Xing Xueming's fingers folded in front of him, poking one of the names on the note.

"Why?" Lin Yu also folded his hands and asked without being salty.

"Princeton University in New Jersey is the best private school in the country, and usually, this school is very xenophobic, and you don't somehow rent the school to someone who is unknown to make a movie, even if you only need a dormitory."

"Besides, I read your script, a group of people who love to make movies ......, I don't think that with their 'academic qualifications', they can be admitted to Princeton, and most importantly, there is no film department there."

Xing Xueming said confidently.

Looking at him like this, Lin Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief, took out a pen, drew on the list, and crossed out the name, "What else?" ”

At least from this point of view, the person recommended by Liu Weiqiang is reliable, and this person does have real talent and learning.

"And this, Kentucky, I don't recommend."

"Why?"

"In this state, the city government office is relatively old-fashioned, and it is very difficult to go there to negotiate, and I think it is very troublesome for you to negotiate with universities and psychiatric hospitals at the same time, and get that series of approval materials."

This time the forest fish didn't speak.

"I recommend you have the remaining two, Maine and Connecticut, you chose very well."

"Why?"

"There are famous haunted rumors in Connecticut, and there is even a well-known horror movie, The Connecticut Haunted House, which is rumored to be known as the only supernatural haunted house in the United States to be recognized."

"The story of a family of three dying in that haunted house."

"You go to this state to get the material, and the audience can understand that you are a Connecticut haunted house movie, without any flaws, very good."

"To put it simply, this state already has elements of terror, a foundation of terror."

The smile on Lin Yu's face became brighter and brighter, "And what, what does this Maine say?" ”

Xing Xueming probably wants to earn tens of thousands of yuan of forest fish, and he works hard to show his profound knowledge of the country, "It is similar to Connecticut, this Maine, he himself is a very poor and backward state. ”

"It is geographically remote and rugged, with two-thirds of the state covered by trees and a large number of places close to Indian settlements, and is known as the 'State of Pines.'"

"The most powerful thing is that there are a lot of horror stories in Maine, and if Connecticut is just a well-known haunted house, then Maine is simply called the 'horror state' in the United States."

"For example, the most well-known terrorist in the United States, Stephen Edwin King, he has written a lot of horror short stories, all of which are based on this Maine state, and are based on this state."

"Ghost Town, Maine, for example!"
