At the end of May, the crew of "See You" is preparing to go to Los Angeles, USA.

The entire crew is extremely streamlined, with only thirty-two people, the main actors are Ge You and Xu Fan, and the other supporting roles are selected from the crew's staff or look for Chinese people in Los Angeles.

Try to shorten the shooting schedule in the United States, strive to finish the shooting within three months, and other indoor scenes will be completed in China.

5 million yuan has been exchanged for 600,000 US dollars through China Banking, which is all the crew spent in the United States. The remaining 3 million funds are used to pay the salaries of actors and behind-the-scenes personnel, as well as the post-production of the film in China.

To be honest, $1 million can only make a low-cost film in the United States, but it is already considered a big production in China.

After watching "The True Lies", Feng Xiaogang felt that some big scenes should be added to "See You", such as helicopters, police exchange fire, etc.

"If we don't come to the real world, we just act like a Hollywood blockbuster." Feng Xiaogang planned to say, "I figured it out. After watching these American blockbusters, the audience's horizons have become higher. If you don't make an explosion, car chases and other scenes can't fool them."

After a month of screening, the box office of "The True Lies" has exceeded 80 million.

It can be foreseeable that it is only a matter of time before the box office exceeds 100 million.

Although everyone had psychological expectations, they still felt deeply moved when they saw the results.

There are many directors who think like Feng Xiaogang, and domestic audiences will not be able to fool them in the future.

Some directors insist on the path of art films unwavering, while others think about learning from Hollywood routines, speeding up the pace of the films, and adding entertaining content.

Changes in domestic films are quietly beginning.

At Los Angeles International Airport, Lin Zixuan and his group got off the plane. The person who came to pick up the plane was an American named Correa.

He is a producer of an American film company and is responsible for the filming of the crew of "See You" in Los Angeles.

When filming "The People of Beijing in New York", Lin Zixuan and the others had been exploring all the way and encountered many difficulties. Later, they found that they should cooperate with local film and television companies in the United States.

Although you need to pay the other party, doing things is much easier and saving time.

Besides, making movies and TV series is very different. It requires bigger scenes and dealing with local departments in Los Angeles. These things will be smoother if American film and television companies come forward.

Of course, with the strength of Good Dream Company, there is no chance to cooperate with large Hollywood companies, and people look down on them.

Correa's company is just one of the countless film companies in Los Angeles. It is average in scale and is introduced by an acquaintance.

This person himself is an experienced producer. He has arranged a residence for the crew and will take people to see the outdoor scene tomorrow. This is what the local snake does, and it is worth the money.

Lin Zixuan has another purpose in cooperation with American film and television companies, that is, he hopes that "Seeking Away" can be distributed in North America, sold the copyright, and recover some investment.

To be honest, a movie can't make much money by relying on the domestic box office alone, especially when the box office is so sluggish.

The way domestic movies can be divided into domestic box office is that the producers get 35% and the Huaying Company gets 65%.

If you want to make money, you still have to take the path of globalization. Just like "Sunny Days", just selling copyrights in the European market will recover costs and make a lot of money.

Zhang Yimou spent 3 million US dollars to film "Alive". He didn't care about the domestic box office at all. As long as the overseas copyright was sold well, it was fine. However, most domestic movies could not go abroad at all.

Lin Zixuan did not fantasize about how much the overseas copyright of "See You" could sell, which is unrealistic.

This was just an attempt. He wanted to know how to go on this road, what conditions and procedures were there, and in the future, he had to move closer to this goal, that is, the global market.

This is the first time Correa has worked with the film crew in China, and he is more curious.

It is no secret that big Hollywood film companies have entered the Chinese film market. Small companies like them also want to make a difference. This time, it was also an attempt to host the crew of "Seeking Away".

Lin Zixuan wants to let movies enter the American market, while Americans want to enter the Chinese market.

Coria doesn’t know who Feng Xiaogang is, and she still needs to observe this crew, and everyone has just come into contact with it.

No one expected that a problem would arise the next day. Feng Xiaogang looked at the location chosen by his American colleagues and expressed his dissatisfaction. Perhaps it was because he had not communicated well before coming, or it might be that the Americans misunderstood it.

When filming "The People of Beijing in New York", the skyscrapers in New York left a deep impression on Feng Xiaogang, and he thought that the big cities in the United States should all look the same.

However, Los Angeles belongs to the western United States and New York is the eastern United States, and the gap between the two places is quite large.

"How did I know that Los Angeles looks like this? There are no tall buildings, they are all empty spaces. They are too flat and have no ups and downs. They are like rural areas. There are so many imagined shots that cannot be taken." Feng Xiaogang complained.

Afterwards, Feng Xiaogang ran to San Francisco to see the outdoor scene.

The environment in San Francisco is similar to that in New York. They are all old houses with many uphill and downhill, which makes them look good.

But in this way, their early preparations in Los Angeles are about to fail. Besides, this is a story that happened in Los Angeles, and moving to San Francisco is always a bit awkward.

After much thought, he finally decided to go back to Los Angeles to shoot.

Next is Ge You’s problem. Los Angeles is full of sunshine and very hot. In order to get close to the characters in the play, Ge You is preparing to sunbathe before filming to make his skin darker, which is a healthier color.

Who knew that after they arrived in Los Angeles, it was always cloudy and Ge You had no chance to tan.

When styling Ge You, another problem occurred. Ge You's image is very consistent with the environment in the capital, but walking on the streets of Los Angeles is a bit less coordinated.

He plays a role who has been living in Los Angeles for many years and has a very free and easy personality.

"Why would Teacher Ge try to remove his hair?" the makeup artist suggested.

"Then can you guarantee that it can still grow?" Ge You said unhappily.

At this time, Ge You still had hair, but the front was bald and the sides were still there. Because of this, he cherished his hair very much and was not willing to cut it off.

However, his hairstyle is a bit incompatible with the foreign environment and does not look neat enough.

"Just try it, it will definitely grow." Everyone advised.

"You guys, just do it. Is it easy for me to grow my hair? I have to cut it off. You are really not interested." Ge You complained.

Ge You is not a stubborn person. He is willing to make sacrifices to make movies and finally gets rid of his hair.

When you see this new look, bald, more energetic, and a bit cynical, your whole temperament is right. (To be continued.)
