The next two days mainly focus on getting familiar with the environment, contacting local Chinese in New York, and finding suitable places for shooting.

Feng Xiaogang will take the cameraman to shoot some outdoor scenes, including the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building, etc., so that the audience can tell on TV that this is New York.

The props are searching for suitable props according to the requirements in the script.

Feng Xiaogang talked about his plan, and Lin Zixuan occasionally added that they had a small meeting after dinner.

"You don't have to worry about me, I'll walk around by myself." Jiang Wen said with confidence.

Feng Xiaogang and Lin Zixuan looked at each other and knew that this person would not be at peace. If he lost the first-line male actor in China in the United States, the joke would be a big deal.

Jiang Wen was quite confident that as long as he understood the basic English conversation, he was afraid that he would not be able to find a way. What a simple thing.

He is the kind of person who dares to run around the world when he gives a car. He wants to experience life, he wants to find a feeling, and it is best to feel lost in New York.

In "The People of the Capital in New York", Wang Qiming later became philosophical and greedy, and was completely lost in the rich and riches of New York.

There is no way, the arts follow the feeling, it’s so willful.

Jiang Wen can be willful, Feng Xiaogang and Lin Zixuan cannot be willful. Lin Zixuan stipulates that at least two people can only go out on the grounds that the security of the United States is not good, and arranged for one person to stare at Jiang Wen.

After solving Jiang Wen’s problem, everyone rested.

Mu Shanshan didn't say anything. She watched the group of people quietly hold a meeting to discuss and solve problems.

At this time, she was not a famous host of China TV. This was not her stage. She didn't need to show her talent. Just watch quietly.

This is not the first time she has seen Lin Zixuan work. She has often seen it when she was in the Art Center.

In Mu Shanshan's impression, Lin Zixuan is often very quiet when working, doesn't like quarrels, will think seriously, and then use a clever way to resolve disputes within the team, and can always come up with solutions.

The two of them used to not work together, but now they feel good.

After the meeting, Lin Zixuan and Mu Shanshan returned to the room.

"Tomorrow we will go to New York University to report and decide on admission." Lin Zixuan discussed.

"I'm just an auditor, so don't worry." Mu Shanshan opposed, "You just came, I'll stay for the translation."

"How can that be? Since you are here, you have to study. The Art School of New York University is a place to cultivate film talents. You first enter them and get along with those classmates, and then tell them that we have a shooting project, which may lead to a few free laborers." Lin Zixuan calculated.

"So you made this idea, and I thought you were really thinking about me." Mu Shanshan said dissatisfied.

"Now you know that you have a heavy responsibility. You can't let down the expectations of the people of the motherland for you." Lin Zixuan joked, "When we were shooting, there were a few scenes that needed many foreign extras. You would say that you would invite them to dinner, and take a few guest shots after dinner, killing two birds with one stone."

Lin Zixuan and Wang Ji have inquired about the situation in the American film and television industry, and the pay for actors here is very expensive.

In order to protect the interests of actors, the Actors Union also stipulates a minimum weekly salary, and even extras are protected by the union.

In the United States, if you find an extra to show your face, it costs $20 a day and you have to take care of it. If they feel unhappy, they may complain, which is as hard-working as domestic extras.

Lin Zixuan couldn't stand this kind of tossing. He thought that he was to mobilize his friends to help him and cheat what he could.

"You, you have become more and more stingy since you became a producer. I am still a part-time chef now." Mu Shanshan said sarcastically.

"So, you have to go to school so that you can throw away the cooking errands." Lin Zixuan persuaded.

"What do you do? What to eat?" Mu Shanshan said worriedly.

"We can't starve to death no matter how hard we make do, they're just too lazy." Lin Zixuan said indifferently.

"Forget it, I'd better cook for you so that you can't get hungry and lose your energy in your work." Mu Shanshan accepted her fate.

She couldn't really go to school with peace of mind. As a wife, she naturally had to support her husband's work. For example, translator and cooking were all easy things, but she just said a few words casually.

Perhaps it was the time difference, or perhaps it was because I just arrived at a strange place and I was not used to it. The two of them chatted and fell asleep for a long time.

This was their first night in the United States.

The next day, everyone got up one after another. The breakfast was very simple, and they made millet porridge and two plates of side dishes, which made everyone praise.

It’s not that it is really a delicious dish, but it’s just a taste suitable for the people of Beijing. Millet porridge nourishes the stomach, makes it warm to drink, and the side dishes are refreshing, and it makes it comfortable to match.

"Xiao Mu's craftsmanship is amazing, and we will have a good time in the United States in the future." Feng Xiaogang praised.

"That's right, this is all about the smell of the Eight Buildings." Jiang Wen echoed.

Others spoke one after another, expressing their support. The so-called short-spoken people's mouths have taken great pains to avoid cooking.

After breakfast, the group went out for about half an hour before they arrived at the center of the town. They found a car rental store and rented two ordinary cars, one for Feng Xiaogang to show the outdoor scene and the other for others to familiarize themselves with the nearby environment.

Lin Zixuan and Mu Shanshan did not drive, but chose to take a bus to downtown New York.

After all, it is the first time. If you drive by yourself, you will easily get lost. Even if you hold the map, it is not safe. At this time, the car has not installed a navigation system. Remember the path when taking the bus. The next time, there will be no problem.

It takes about an hour to drive from the small town of Oistbey to the Manhattan area of ​​New York.

The two brought their IDs and took a bus to head towards New York.

Long Island is adjacent to the Brooklyn area of ​​New York. Due to the pleasant climate, forests and beautiful environment, many wealthy people will settle here and see luxurious villas with their own unique features along the way.

Entering downtown New York, looking from the bus, there are skyscrapers everywhere, the streets are covered with cars, colorful billboards on both sides, men are wearing suits, and women are wearing bright dresses.

This is a picture that is different from that of the country. If the color of the domestic city is gray, then New York is colorful.

This is the United States in the 1990s, a country with rapid economic development.

However, in Lin Zixuan's eyes, he felt like he was watching an old foreign movie. Compared with the United States in his world, the United States in this era seemed a bit old.

"This is America!" Mu Shanshan looked at the Empire State Building standing in the distance and couldn't help but sigh.

This is not the first time she has come to the United States, but she still can't help saying this. The Chinese people of this era must have felt this way. It is undeniable that there is a huge gap between China and the United States in material life today.

This is the reason why China has experienced a trend of going abroad.

"We will get better and better in the future." Lin Zixuan said affirmatively.
