Chapter 40:

Wang Fengtian only said that it was the management who arranged the contact. Chu Xiaxing hadn't thought of who the other party was. After the crew took the plane to the overseas filming base, she met a familiar face at the destination.
In the hall of the shooting base, the staff of the production company arrived long ago, and the life production organized the scene order. He enthusiastically waved to Zhang Luo: "Everyone come with me, I will take you to the room..."
The spacious and bright dormitories of the crew are divided according to the type of work, which is completely different from ordinary small hotels in China. Everyone standing on the high building of the base can overlook the whole view of the base through the floor-to-ceiling windows. The shooting studio here is divided into indoor and outdoor scenes. The indoor area has its own unique design. The outdoor scenic area is based on the terrain and has mountains and waters, and the architectural style Quite complete.
This is not only a shooting base, but more like a theme park that accommodates multiculturalism. The living facilities in the base are extremely complete, even like a city in a city.
Chu Xiaxing had previously visited other well-known film and television bases abroad, but it was the first time for her to come to the brand new Luokang Film and Television Base. Since it was just built not long ago, the environment and equipment are more superior, which is impressive.
Hou Shenyue also visited many shooting locations. He looked at the scenery outside the window and couldn't help but exclaimed, "This is a modern Hengdian..."
Chu Xiaxing shook his head and said, "Hengdian is still too old now, and the scenes inside can be counted. Those are the ones that come and go."
If you are a practitioner familiar with Hengdian, they can basically tell the name of the scene with a glance at the domestic TV series, and the places suitable for shooting are really limited. Most of the domestic film and television bases can't get rid of the rusticity, and the film and television cities in some small places are more like jokes, and all the conditions cannot keep up.
The advantage of Luokang Film and Television Base is not only in the scene, but in the support of quite advanced technology. The studio here is equipped with top-notch cameras and lighting. There are also excellent film and television talents in the base, which already has a mature system.
Many film and television talents returning from prestigious schools have not developed smoothly when they return to China. The reason is that they feel that the domestic and foreign industries have walls. Even with advanced knowledge, they are unable to flex their muscles and integrate into the domestic film and television circle. Therefore, many people choose to do Hollywood drifters and give up returning to China for development. Only in recent years has it improved.
Chu Xia stared intently at the bustling and busy Luokang Film and Television Base. She sighed slightly, and she was inexplicably envy.
It is possible for any country to give birth to world-class film masters, but it is not just a single person who wants to make a certain industry in a country reach the top.
"Director, director, let's go back to the house and rest..." The assistant Li Jing had already taken the room card, and she cautiously called Chu Xiaxing, but saw that the other party was still standing by the window looking at the scenery, she could only step forward to take a picture of Chu. guide.
The others had already taken the elevator to their rooms, and now there were basically no crew members nearby, but a team came up on the other side of the corridor.
The leader of the team is a blond male. He is explaining in English, but behind him is a bunch of Asian faces. Someone in the team whispered: "Is it a hallucination? I seem to hear Chinese..."
"What did Qin hear? Did Song hear?"
The crew of this team is mostly men. Most of them are dressed in formal and rigorous clothing, which is completely different from the style of the crew. They are following the blond man on the tour, looking mighty and mighty.
The blond foreigner at the beginning had a work sign hanging on his body. He introduced the environment of the building kindly in English: "This is the living building of the crew. From the ten-floor hall where we are located, we can lead to the dormitory areas of each building. Equipped with supermarkets, gyms and other places..."
Chu Xiaxing and Li Jing were talking at the window, but she noticed that Song Wenye in the team, who made him stand out and tall, stood out in the middle-aged male team, and his temperament was still calm.
Song Wenye also noticed Chu Xiaxing by the window, he couldn't help being taken aback, politely greeted the people around him, and then quietly left the team and strode towards her.
Chu Xiaxing thought about the employer Wang Fengtian said, and she suddenly realized: "I should have guessed it a long time ago, and you have the ability to make money!"
Chu Xiaxing was surprised at the beginning, how Vanke Pictures catches up with Wang Fengtian, the position is a bit different.
It is the same now. If Wang Fengtian is unable to establish contact with overseas filming bases, then only Song Wenye of Yuansheng Group can do it.
Song Wenye looked at Li Jing beside Chu Xiaxing, and then at the empty surroundings. He curiously asked, "Didn't Director Chu be with the crew?"
"They're back to the room." Chu Xiaxing looked at the suit team not far away. She raised her chin and signaled, "What are you doing?"
Song Wenye glanced back at his colleagues and replied calmly: "This is the inspection team of the group. We are listening to the introduction by the head of the base."
Song Wenye wants to restart the Yanchuan Film and Television City project, but this is by no means an easy task. It has also been controversial within the group. This trip is mainly to absorb advanced overseas experience.
When Chu Xiaxing heard that they were going to visit Luokang Film and Television Base in one day, her eyes suddenly brightened and she became interested in some way. The base generally only opens part of the area to the crew. It is a rare opportunity to have a full view and the company of a professional guide.
Seeing her eyes burning, Song Wenye immediately guessed her thoughts and suggested: "If Director Chu has time, why don't we follow along?"
"What a shame, I'm not from your group..." Chu Xiaxing said in a polite manner, but he had already returned the room card to Li Jing in his hand and patted the girl's shoulder suggestively.
Li Jing was quite clever. She immediately pulled her suitcase and left the scene, evacuating the scene in a hurry, whispering: "I'll go back to the house. The director will go to work."
Today was originally a rest time for the crew, and everyone had to take up the jet lag and would not immediately start shooting. Chu Xiaxing didn't want to miss the opportunity to visit. This is different from ordinary walking and watching flowers. Since there is a person in charge of the base as a tour guide, it means that she can understand all kinds of equipment.
Song Wenye led Chu Xiaxing back into the team, which naturally attracted the attention of colleagues. Someone hesitated and said, "Ms. Song, this is..."
Song Wenye introduced in an orderly manner: "This is the director of "Wu Dao", the play of Teacher Wang Fengtian. Let's follow us together."
"Oh, oh, hello, director!" The man seemed to be of a lower rank than Song Wenye. He shook hands with Chu Xiaxing politely and humbly, and his attitude was fairly friendly.
Chu Xiaxing wanted to go sightseeing, she shook hands naturally and kindly, trying not to talk too much to mess up.
Of course, not everyone in the team eats this set. The middle-aged man next to the blond tour guide already has diagonal stripes under his eyes. He looked at Chu Xia Xing with the tip of his eyes, which was quite picky and meaningful. Young people are promising, and you can bring a younger one."
Chu Xiaxing thought this was really bullshit, but she didn't know the identity of the other party, so she didn't move.
Song Wenye didn't change his face and heartbeat. He was neither humble nor overbearing, and said, "Since I am young and promising, the director is indeed younger and more promising than I am. I still know Mr. Qin and know him well. I can tell at a glance.
President Qin snorted coldly, and he turned his head and said nothing.
Chu Xiaxing had already seen factions during the brief confrontation. The Yuansheng Group's team was divided into two factions. Song Wenye and Qin should be on the same level, with a little friction with each other. She had only seen Song Wenye spend money wildly on the crew, but she had never seen him fight with people in the group to make money, and she seemed very interested for a while.
Chu Xiaxing: It turns out that the Buddha also had to fight openly and secretly, this is to compete!
Chu Xiaxing followed Song Wenye, and asked quietly, "Is it okay for me to follow you? Is this President Qin okay?"
There is no way for Xian Zaren to visit. Even if she is the director of the filming crew, she can only take a look at the rented venue, and there is no way to go around them all.
Song Wenye calmly said: "It doesn't matter, you don't care what he says, he just needs to take care of himself."
The first time Chu Xiaxing heard his cold tone, she smiled in disbelief: "Oh, it's different when I return to the group, Mr. Song becomes hardened when he speaks..."
Song Wenye's presence in the crew is relatively low, and occasionally Xia Hong is in charge of affairs. Chu Xiaxing had told him to shut up before, and felt that the Buddha had a good temper. Who would have thought that the Buddha had a cold face?
Song Wenye was not serious and tense when facing her, but was still a relaxed friend. He blinked innocently and whispered: "No way, I'm really not as good as a leader. If you don't talk like this, you will always be bullied and treated as a child."
Chu Xiaxing heard that he was deliberately selling miserably, how could he not know that he insinuates himself: "..." Is this the name of a kid who still holds grudges?
Chu Xiaxing had never been in contact with Song Wenye's working environment before. She actually didn't understand his life at all. This time, she finally realized something during the visit. Song Wenye's words were not wrong, he belonged to the youngest generation in the group team, and his peers around him were all noisy and stubborn old qualifications, so there was nothing wrong with it.
Chu Xiaxing met Duan Chengyan and others at the dinner. They are supposed to be the same generation as Song Wenye, but the living environment of the two is completely different. On the one hand, there are the idle and slightly arrogant rich brothers, and the other is the group competing for projects and undercurrents. Elites, the experience is different.
Song Wenye must have a calm and methodical character, otherwise he will not be able to get in the group at all, and he will be digging in circles every day.
Chu Xiaxing quietly listened to the explanation of the blonde tour guide. Her spoken language was average but she could understand the content. Sometimes she asked Song Wenye to help ask questions and learn about the technology and equipment in the Luokang Film and Television Base.
As soon as the group visited the Luokang Film and Television Base for a while, Chu Xiaxing heard Mr. Qin's yin and yang grotesque countless times. The other party always made some speechless remarks, which made her feel uncomfortable.
Song Wenye seemed to care about the emotions of his colleagues and the head of the base. He didn't want to argue with President Qin immediately, shame in front of foreign collaborators, and simply didn't bother to care about each other.
The crowd arrived at the indoor underwater studio of Luokang Film and Television Base. The blond-haired person in charge introduced the equipment enthusiastically. Before the female translator could convert the content into Chinese, President Qin first asserted: "Mr Song, this is not a big Swimming pool, do you think we need to do this?"
There is a huge and wide pool in the underwater studio, and even the walls are reflected with blue light, like a mysterious ocean, and in Mr. Qin's mouth, it is an ordinary pool.
President Qin dissatisfied: "We spend so much money and have to learn from the experience of overseas bases. The final build is no different from the domestic film and television base. This is a waste of time!"
Chu Xiaxing was tolerating Qin's layman's remarks all the way. She was finally a little annoyed at this time and couldn't help but interrupt: "If I follow this statement, I can also shoot movies with my mobile phone. In the end, aren't all movies!"
Chu Xiaxing's mood now is as if the designer had heard that Party A believed that Photoshop was more advanced than PS. Naturally, her eyebrows jumped slightly, her expression slightly impatient.
People from Yuansheng Group didn't dare to hit President Qin in the face, but Chu Xiaxing would not constrain her words. She was not discussing life under President Qin, so naturally she couldn't stand the other party's stupid pretending remarks.
Mr. Qin rarely encounters robbing, his face is a bit uncontrollable, and he thinks that the translator has not been introduced yet, and simply angrily said: "Okay, what's the opinion of this director? There are still underwater shootings in China, how much better can it be here? !"
Others were afraid that President Qin would not come to Taiwan, and echoed: "Yes, I watch domestic film and television dramas also have underwater shooting, in fact it is not that exaggerated..."
The head of the blond heard the exchanges in the team, he immediately looked back hesitantly and looked at the visitors from Asia. Song Wenye used English to appease the other party. He just wanted to arrange an interpreter to complete the scene, but he listened to Chu Xiaxing's talk and didn't need an interpreter to help out.
Chu Xiaxing said with no expression: "The most distinctive feature of the British Pine Forest Base is the indoor underwater studio built in 2005, which can maintain a constant temperature of 32c throughout the year, enabling all-weather movie shooting, and the rental rate is extremely high after being put into use..."
"The newly built underwater studio here even surpasses the pine forest. The rate of return after renting will only be higher. You can go to the country to find a cheap big swimming pool. I really don't know which big swimming pool can make this money?"
Even if Chu Xiaxing's shooting decreases after she gets older, it does not mean that she has given up learning about new technologies. She still pays attention to updated equipment, otherwise she will be severely abandoned by the times.
Chu Xia Xing raised her eyebrows, she looked at President Qin with a smile, jokingly said: "Yes, President Qin should know what Pinewood does? It is the largest film and television base in the UK and an advanced production center in the world. You The ability to research large swimming pools is world-leading, why bother to stay in Yuansheng Group? It is time to move internationally!"
Chu Xiaxing: If you want to build a large swimming pool with higher cost performance, do you still need to work for others?
President Qin originally bullied Chu Xiaxing's young and ignorant, but he would throw out a bunch of data when she opened his mouth. The most embarrassing thing was that he was not sure whether she was right or not, and could not refute it dryly, so he immediately lost his momentum and flushed.
The other people wanted to help, but they were also laymen in film and television, and they couldn't say that they were professional Chu Xiaxing.
The blond person in charge looked around blankly. He seemed to perceive the atmosphere on both sides, and he actually squeezed out an awkward Chinese to ease the tense atmosphere. His strange Chinese sounds were so strange that he could only bounce words out, and he threw up his thumbs at Chu Xiaxing and exclaimed, "Awesome! Understand!"
Everyone didn't expect the person in charge to understand. They all looked surprised, let alone discuss the badness of the underwater studio.
Everyone: Why are you a fake foreign devil? This has been secretly eavesdropping!
