March 5, 1992, this day was the second day of the second lunar month. The dragon raised its head, which was a good omen.

The crew of "The People in Beijing in New York" specially selected this day to go to the United States. There were only ten people in the first group. Except for a few starring actors, they brought cameramen and props, and others such as makeup artists and sound engineers to set off again in a month.

In order to save money, the staff behind the crew selected talents with multiple abilities.

For example, Feng Xiaogang is both a director and can also serve as an artist. In principle, he uses the least number of people to do the most work.

There are many people coming to see off at Beijing International Airport. Li Hong from the Art Center, a small leader of the General Administration, and a senior executive of China Television Station, gave people a very grand feeling.

It was like an assault company was going to the United States to perform a mission, but it was almost an oath-taking meeting.

This is a bold attempt in the field of television in China. It is a big investment and filming abroad. It is something that has never been done before. It can be regarded as going abroad and bringing glory to the country.

If successful, it will provide future crew with experience and reference, and once it fails...

Lin Zixuan shook his head and didn't think about this possibility for the time being. He has reached this point. He only succeeds, but cannot fail.

When we were at the airport, we couldn't let go because we had leaders here, so we relaxed when we got on the plane.

They all bought tickets in economy class, and they sat in front and back rows.

Lin Zixuan and the passengers next to Mu Shanshan changed seats and sat next to Mu Shanshan. Mu Shanshan whispered to remind him.

She thought it was Lin Zixuan's first time flying, and it might feel a little uncomfortable when the plane takes off, so Lin Zixuan listened carefully.

After a while, the sound of a flight attendant came from the radio and the plane was about to take off.

Mu Shanshan held Lin Zixuan's hand. She was a little nervous when she took the plane for the first time. At that time, there was no one around, so she could only hold on by herself. Now the two of them are together. She was worried about Lin Zixuan, but she didn't think much about herself.

The plane flies smoothly, and the atmosphere in the cabin becomes lively.

In this era, it is still new to take a plane, especially for such international flights. Most of the passengers in the cabin went abroad for the first time. Looking at the blue sky and white clouds outside, I felt very novel.

At this time, going abroad is either a business worker, studying abroad, visiting relatives and immigrating.

For the United States on the other side of the ocean, they have longing for it. It is a superpower, a rich place, and a paradise that everyone yearns for.

Only these people are going to shoot TV series, and they have to completely subvert the impression of the United States in the minds of Chinese people.

Thinking about it, it really means going deep into the enemy's back and attacking the other party. Although it is not a skillful sword or a spear, it can also play a certain propaganda role. When I think about it this way, I feel quite glorious.

Half of the people in the crew took the first flight and went abroad for the first time. They talked about their life after arriving in the United States.

First of all, there is a language problem. As Mu Shanshan said, there are not many of them who know foreign languages, so it would be nice not to get lost at that time.

Lin Zixuan's English is not very proficient. Feng Xiaogang knows no more than five English sentences, and it is still very simple. He has never heard Jiang Wen speak English, so he is very confident when asked.

"I have been a country, can you compare?" Jiang Wen said proudly.

Jiang Wen has indeed been abroad, but that was in France, so he went to the film festival.

In fact, Jiang Wen’s English is also not good. When he was in the college entrance examination, he failed because he was not good at English. Later, he was admitted to the performance class of the Beijing Theatre Academy. The Drama Academy has a low score requirement.

While others were discussing, Jiang laughed but didn't say anything. He had already bought a book called "English Speaking and All-Speed" from the Beijing Bookstore.

It is said that with this book, you will not be afraid of traveling around the United States.

"When I arrive in the United States, I still have to rely on you, the group of women's soldiers." Feng Xiaogang sighed, "I'm afraid I won't be able to learn foreign languages ​​well in my life. From now on, I will have to spend time at home and not cause trouble for others internationally."

Feng Xiaogang was under 20 years old and did propaganda work in the army and had never learned foreign languages ​​well.

There were not many people in their generation who knew foreign languages, and Ge You also didn't understand foreign languages. One was that he had no learning environment and did not pay attention to it. After all, he didn't think that one day he would go abroad. At that time, the US imperialists were still in the hostile camp.

It was not until Lin Zixuan's group that he started to learn foreign languages ​​seriously.

The overseas trip in the late 1980s attracted great attention from foreign languages. There was a wave of learning foreign languages ​​in schools and society. Maybe they would go abroad one day.

Wang Ji and Yan Xiaopin both lived in the United States in the crew. Mu Shanshan is also proficient in foreign languages ​​and has little problem hosting interviews in English.

Feng Xiaogang is right, he will really rely on them in New York in the future.

"Don't worry, I could speak a few English words when I first arrived in the United States. I could understand eating and asking for directions." Wang Ji recalled, "You must be really worried. After you arrive in the United States, you should write your address and phone number on a piece of paper and take it with you. If you get lost, take it out and ask the police."

"Why are you talking about a dementia patient?" someone joked.

"Actually, when you go to a place you can't understand, you can't understand, and you will feel very friendly when you meet a fellow villager, just like meeting a relative." Wang Ji said deeply.

"At that time, people who do not understand foreign languages ​​should act collectively and cannot go out alone, at least in groups of two people." Lin Zixuan suggested.

Everyone talked and laughed, and had many doubts and imaginations about life in the next few months.

After more than ten hours of flight, the plane landed at Kennedy Airport in New York. Everyone got off the plane, found their luggage, passed the airport security check, and looked for the people who picked them up in the airport lobby.

Lin Zixuan had contacted him when he was in China, and the Chinese Embassy would send someone to pick them up.

The entire airport is full of foreigners, and the noise of English is heard, which makes you feel like you fall into the sea.

After searching for a while, I saw a young man in a suit and tie holding a card with a card that read "The People in Beijing are in New York".

This is called Ding Yaowu, who is twenty-four or five years old and is responsible for translation work in the embassy.

"Don't rush to leave. Let's stay here for a while first and let me find the feeling." Jiang Wen said suddenly.

In the script, Wang Qiming and Guo Yan had just arrived in the United States. They didn't understand English. They couldn't find the person to answer them at the airport, they couldn't understand the radio, and they didn't know how to call. They could only do it in a hurry and kept arguing.

At such a huge airport, people came and went, and the two Chinese seemed so helpless.

When everyone understood Jiang Wen said this, he waited at the airport and began to experience life.

There are foreigners around me who can't understand anything, and I feel powerless and anxious when I suddenly come to a strange place.
