Another point he didn't understand was that his scenes in France could actually be filmed in China. All he had to do was find a theater and a small apartment decorated in a French style. At most, he could film them on the streets of France afterwards.

When he was filming "Escape", almost all of the stories took place in Hong Kong, but ended up filming them all in Zhuhai. The reason was of course to save money.
Of course, Dai Sijie insisted on filming in France, not only because he was not short of money, but also because of the pretentiousness and stubbornness of an old literary young man.
There are very few scenes, but the stay in France is very long. On the one hand, the French staff who have been busy in China for several months have finally returned home, and of course they have to rest first; on the other hand, coordinating the venue is also very troublesome.
, often need to wait.
Although Dai Sijie usually speaks like Trump, returning to France feels more like returning to his hometown. After all, he has lived here for fifteen years.
When he first arrived in France, because the staff were on vacation, he specially hired an international student as a translator and guide to take He Xin around Paris and the surrounding areas.
They say Paris is a very romantic city, and He Xin once heard Zhou Xun say that her favorite city is Paris, but in his opinion, it's just that there are more old buildings and tourist attractions in the city.
For example, the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, the Arc de Triomphe, the Palace of Versailles, etc. that are often seen on TV. There are many tourists, and there are queues everywhere. The prices of the luxury goods in the Champs Elysées are staggeringly expensive.
.
What disgusted him the most was that this city was very chaotic, with thieves running rampant and even daring to rob openly on the street. He Xin had encountered this once. If he hadn't reacted quickly and grabbed the black boy's hand, he would have lost his wallet in his pocket.
It might have been stolen.
The black boy was not afraid when he was caught. He even cursed and cursed. He was so angry that he asked the international student to call the police. As a result, the international student looked timid and advised him to forget it.
On the one hand, it is very troublesome to call the police and record a confession; on the other hand, these black thieves are organized in gangs, and if you are targeted by them, it will be even more troublesome, and you may also be in personal danger.
After this incident, he no longer had a good impression of Paris, the international romantic city.
It was like in his previous life he had a neighbor who liked Qingdao very much and always wanted to go there. However, he finally came back after going there, but vowed never to go there again. It turned out that he and some friends who went there with him were cheated at a local KTV.
The pig's head was slaughtered, and he drank a few glasses of weird-tasting cocktails that turned out to be sky-high prices. Even if he called the police later, he had to empty everyone's pockets and piece together everything to get out.
During the intermittent filming, He Xin also accepted exclusive interviews with two French media. It is said that he was preparing for the publicity when the movie is released in the future.
Before the National Day, the movie was finally finished. He Xin didn't want to wait any longer and hurried back to China.
Shenghai, Hongqiao Airport.
The rain was falling, almost exactly the same as when I checked in at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport more than ten hours ago, with the same gray sky and the same lingering drizzle.
Cheng Hao said on the phone that Cheng's father's liver transplant operation was very successful. If the rejection period of three months to six months can be safely passed, the disease that has troubled Cheng's father for more than ten years can basically be cured.
So she is very grateful to Mr. Wu, the boss of the film and television company she is currently contracting with. If it weren't for Mr. Wu's activities, there would not be a match for the liver source so quickly; and the top domestic expert introduced by Mr. Wu personally performs the surgery.
It went very smoothly.
In order not to delay the filming of the company's new drama, she hurried to work in Shenghai before her father was discharged from the hospital.
He Xin came here to visit the class this time. He didn't notify Cheng Hao in advance, and he didn't even tell her that he was returning to China. He just wanted to create a very old-fashioned surprise effect.
At the same time, every time Cheng Hao mentioned Mr. Wu on the phone, he felt sincere gratitude...
Of course, a person should repay kindness, but it still made him feel an inexplicable sense of crisis.
"The Girl" just started filming a few days ago. During this period, it has been filming in a villa area in Xinzhuang, very close to Hongqiao Airport. When we hailed a taxi just now, the taxi driver's expression suddenly changed when he learned the address he was going to.
It was ugly. After queuing for several hours, I ended up getting a customer whose fare was less than 30 yuan. You can imagine how depressed I felt.
When the taxi arrived at the entrance of the villa area, it was stopped by the security guard. It was learned that He Xin was looking for the crew filming inside, and he would not be allowed in unless he notified the crew to come out to pick him up.
He Xin was about to call Cheng Hao when he suddenly saw an acquaintance walking in carrying a vest bag.
"Hey, Xiao Wang!"
The chubby girl looked back and saw him, and was surprised and said: "Brother Xin, why are you here? Oh, you are here to visit Brother Kun!"
Xiao Wang is Chen Kun's assistant. He is actually a little older than He Xin. It is just because of his different status that he calls him "New Brother". In fact, this hierarchical concept is very serious in the industry.
For example, in a film crew, the director and producer are the biggest, followed by the leading actors and the heads of various groups behind the scenes. There are several lines here. The hierarchical chain for actors is protagonists, supporting roles, special actors, and extras; behind the scenes, there are various groups
The boss, then the assistant, then the field worker.
Moreover, in addition to the status among actors determined by their status, agents also compete with each other. As for the assistants who serve as the actors' followers, their status is naturally determined by the actor's status.
"Ah? Ah, yes, yes!"
He Xin was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that when he was watching Heartthrob, Chen Kun seemed to have a guest role in it, and he seemed to be a scumbag.
"Brother Xin, why didn't you call in advance? Ah, I understand, you want to give Brother Kun a surprise!" the assistant said stupidly with an excited look on his face.
He Xin suppressed his laughter and nodded: "Yes."
With the sign hanging on the assistant's chest, the security guard naturally wouldn't stop him and even apologized to him politely.
Xiao Wang came out to buy water. As soon as he arrived at a strange crew, the assistant was already suffocated. It was rare to meet an acquaintance like He Xin. Without him having to ask, the assistant started to talk endlessly about anecdotes about the crew.
.
He Xin listened with a smile for a while and couldn't help but ask: "Which one of the four heroines do you like best?"
"Marriage mad!" the assistant replied without thinking.
"Why?"
"Although Marriage Maniac is not good-looking, he is very kind-hearted and very simple."
"Then which one do you hate the most?"
"Heartthrob?"
"Hey, why?"
"She treats love as a child's play and only wants to find a rich man. This kind of woman is the most annoying."
Having said that, Xiao Wang may have felt that his evaluation was a bit excessive, and then added: "But the actor who played the heartthrob did a very good job, otherwise I wouldn't hate the heartthrob so much. There is really a look in her eyes.
With a hook, he’s a special monster! Oh, by the way, this actor’s name is Cheng Hao. I heard he used to be in the arts, and he’s a graduate of your Chinese drama series. Do you know him?”
"Uh, we know each other!"
"Ah? You know her, so don't tell her what I just said." The assistant said hurriedly upon hearing this.
"You were praising her for her good acting. I'm afraid it's too late for her to be happy!" He Xin said with a smile.
We were joking all the way, and soon we arrived in front of the villa where we were filming. There were not only staff busy around it, but also security guards standing outside to maintain order, even though the occupancy rate of this villa area is currently very low.
"Xiao Wang, why is it so slow to buy water..."
Chen Kun rushed out from nowhere and saw He Xin dragging a suitcase next to Xiao Wang. He was surprised and said: "Xiao He, why are you here?"
"Brother Kun, the new brother is here to visit the class, are you surprised?" the assistant said excitedly.
"Uh, are you really here to visit the class?" Chen Kun was not as easy to deceive as Xiao Wang, and asked with a suspicious look on his face.
He didn't remember that he had ever told He Xin about coming here as a guest star.
"That's right!"
He Xin looked at Chen Kun. He was wearing black tights and his original rustic hairstyle had been shortened into a fashionable parting. He was shiny and shiny, and there was a big star-shaped pendant hanging on his chest.
I couldn't help but laugh: "Why are you dressed like this? You look like a fart."
"Damn, you are the one..."
Chen Kun was still very attentive. In the middle of the scolding, he remembered that He Xin had filmed "Lan Yu" and immediately changed his words: "Tell me honestly, whose class are you here to visit?"
As he said that, he took out two bottles of water from the bag carried by the stupid assistant, threw one to He Xin, and curled his lips and said: "You kid will come to visit my class? Are you surprised? Bah! Only a ghost can believe it.
Woolen cloth!"
"I believe it." The assistant, who had just reacted, pouted at the side and said weakly.
