Chapter 1062 Going Abroad

There are still two days before the start of filming.

1:15 pm.

Two buses arrived at the Brilliant Entertainment Company one after another, attracting many people to watch.

"Look, there are two buses parked downstairs, what are they for?"

"The film department is going to shoot a movie, I guess the crew is about to leave."

"I really envy my colleagues in the film department, who can go all over the country while working. Unlike us who sit in the office all day, our work is really boring in comparison!"

"You should apply to the film department!"

"Then forget it. If it's a place with nice scenery, it's okay. If I have to go to the desert to shoot a movie one day, I can't stand it."

"You are such a person..."

After all, it has nothing to do with me, so I chatted for a few words and continued to work.

Film department.

"Everyone, get ready, the bus has arrived downstairs, take your things downstairs."

As soon as the voice fell, the originally quiet office area became lively in an instant.

Many people were carrying bags on their shoulders and pushing suitcases in their hands, ready to go downstairs.

"Xiaoshan, don't forget to bring me some souvenirs when you go abroad."

"We are going to film, not to travel. We'll talk about it later. If I have time to rest, I'll buy you something."

"Can I choose it myself?"

"If you reimburse me, anything is fine."

The two laughed "Haha". They are very good friends and like to joke around.

"Don't forget to send a message after the plane lands."

"OK!"

"Let's go, have a good trip!"

Many people are saying goodbye.

We are all colleagues in the film department. This time we are filming abroad. Even if we rest, we can't come back. Therefore, the next time we meet, it will be when the film is finished.

The same is true for the artist management department.

"Congratulations! Perform well. This opportunity is rare. Try to get Mr. Tan's attention."

Although many people in many departments don't know that Tan Yue's new movie is about to start filming, it is no longer a secret for the artist management department.

"It's just that I'm lucky. I think your acting skills are not bad."

The two are good friends and often work together on filming.

Those who were not selected opened their arms and said, "You don't need to comfort me. Not being selected means that my acting skills are not good enough. I will work hard during this period."

"Come on, brother! As long as you have this attitude, there will definitely be a role for you in Mr. Tan's next new movie."

The two hugged each other tightly.

"You have to work hard too!"

"Contact me anytime."

"Contact me anytime."

For actors like them who have acting skills but no fame, Tan Yue's movie is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Even if it is a small role with only a few shots in it, the probability of being discovered by the audience and other directors will be much greater.

Therefore, these actors who are about to go abroad are extremely excited, and almost everyone is thinking about performing well.

The entrance of the Brilliant Entertainment Company soon became lively.

"I feel a little headache just thinking about sitting on a plane for nearly 14 hours!"

The employees on the bus chatted.

"Wear an eye mask and go to sleep directly on the plane, otherwise it will be very uncomfortable when you get to the destination."

"How long will it take to reverse the jet lag?" The person who was speaking was going to the United States for the first time.

"It depends on one's physique. Some people can jump off the plane, while others can't recover even after lying in the hotel for three days."

"I hope this won't happen to me."

Such a long journey would be boring if one person is alone, but fortunately there are many people, and they are all familiar with each other, so it is very lively.

The crew members and artists boarded the bus one after another.

...

CEO's Office.

"The bus has arrived, and everyone is starting to get on board." Chen Ye reported the situation below.

"Okay, I'll get off right away." Tan Yue looked around the office. All the documents had been put into the cabinet, and the tea sets on the coffee table had been put away.

Once you go out for a few months, it will definitely gather dust if you leave it outside.

"Let's go." Seeing that there was nothing left to pack, Tan Yue turned and left the office.

Chen Ye followed silently behind, feeling a little reluctant in his heart, as he would not see him for the next few months.

There are many things to do in the company, and with Chen Ye here, he can also help to process and organize some materials and share some of the pressure.

"Ayue, are we leaving now?"

As soon as Tan Yue left the office, he saw Chen Ziyu coming towards him.

"Everyone is getting in the car, and it's time for me to leave too."

"I'll take you to the airport."

Tan Yue wanted to refuse, but he noticed Chen Ziyu's subtle expression and said, "That's going to be hard on you!"

Chen Ziyu nodded slightly and said softly, "Let's go."

Thinking that Tan Yue was about to fly to the United States and stay there for several months, he felt a little stuffy in his chest and felt an indescribable discomfort in his heart.

The two took the elevator to the underground garage, and Chen Ziyu opened the main car door: "It's the same old rule, I'll drive."

"OK." Tan Yue sat in the passenger seat.

The car drove out of the garage and drove onto the highway to Beijing International Airport.

The road was relatively smooth, and Tan Yue said, "When I leave, all the company's documents will be handed over to you to handle. Don't be busy dealing with work all day, and you must rest when you need to rest."

Chen Ziyu smiled slightly: "This is exactly what I want to tell you, filming will be more difficult. Don't be busy during the day and also busy at night. Make sure you get enough sleep so that you can be energetic at work the next day."

"Then we will abide by it together and supervise each other."

More than an hour later, the car drove into the international airport's send-off channel.

After arriving at the parking spot, Chen Ziyu said reluctantly: "Send me a message as soon as the plane lands."

Tan Yue said "Hmm": "If the plane is not delayed, it will be eight o'clock in the evening according to the time there, and it is morning here. I will call you as soon as possible."

Chen Ziyu said: "Do you still remember what I told you in the car?"

"Get more rest."

Chen Ziyu joked: "Read it silently in your mind every day."

"Be sure to keep the mission in mind." Tan Yue said, "Be careful on the way back."

Later, Tan Yue, wearing a mask and sunglasses, got out of the car and entered the airport with his entourage.

After two hours of waiting, a plane from Beijing to Ohio, USA, took off.

After a fourteen-hour flight, the plane finally landed in Mansfield.

Everyone who got off the plane no longer had the excitement before boarding, and the only thing they felt now was fatigue.

The reception staff here saw Tan Yue and others appearing at the exit. He waved the sign in his hand and shouted loudly: "Mr. Tan, Mr. Tan is here!"

This person is also an old man in the company. In the previous three movies, this person was responsible for coming here early to preside over the work.

Everyone exchanged a few brief greetings before boarding the bus to the hotel. More than twenty hours had passed since the departure of the company, and with the car and plane rides, the energy had already been exhausted.

On the way to the hotel, few people spoke. However, in order to adapt faster, Tan Yue continued to understand the current situation with the person in charge here.

It is convenient to arrange the next work.

After arriving at the hotel and checking in, everyone in the crew went to rest.

…

The next day.

"How is everyone's condition? Is anyone in serious condition?" Tan Yue asked the person sitting opposite him after having breakfast.

"Two of them kept vomiting last night and were sent to the hospital in the middle of the night. One of them has been released this morning, and the other one needs to be checked again."

"Is everyone else okay?"

"I did some statistics and found that many people haven't gotten up yet and are probably still suffering from jet lag."

"Then let them continue to rest." Tan Yue asked: "How is the venue being set up?"

"According to your latest adjustment plan, we have prepared the beginning of the movie, but the prison scene will have to wait a little longer."

"Make an appointment with them and we'll go take a look later."

"yes."

Half an hour later, Tan Yue and his group took a car to the filming location.

The two places are very close to each other and it takes less than ten minutes to reach the place.

"Mr. Tan, the person standing at the door is the person in charge sent over there."

"They actually sent someone over." Tan Yue was a little surprised.

With the participation of translators, the two parties had a friendly and enthusiastic conversation.

The other party fell in love with Tan Yue because of the movie "The Godfather" and became a loyal fan.

He even asked Tan Yue for an autographed photo, so a group photo was indispensable.

Under his leadership, Tan Yue and several assistant directors inspected the shooting location and discussed how to set up the machine from time to time.

Not only these assistant directors, but also Tan Yue came to this place for the first time and had to carefully check whether the venue met the filming requirements.

Time passes unconsciously.

After the discussion was completed and the results were reached, I looked up and realized that it was already dark.

"What time is it now?" Tan Yue asked

"Six forty-three."

"Then let's hurry back and go back. There will be a launch party in the evening."

Everyone nodded and had no objections. They had discussed all the issues that they should pay attention to during the filming.

The opening banquet was held at the hotel where they stayed.

Then return by car.

In the lobby on the second floor of the hotel, almost all the crew of "The Shawshank Redemption" are here.

After a day's rest, most people have fully recovered. When they heard that a startup banquet was going to be held, they even directly resurrected with full health.

Main table.

Zhou Can, Ma Guoliang, Fan Shan and others were sitting together chatting.

"Is Mr. Tan still up there?" Ma Guoliang asked.

One of them replied: "Mr. Tan seems to have gone to check out the filming location today. He probably hasn't come back yet."

The start-up banquet officially started at eight o'clock, and no one was in a hurry.

"Mr. Tan is back!"

A man trotted and quickly returned to his place.

The hall quickly became quiet. Tan Yue stepped into the hall and everyone stood up to say hello.

After responding, Tan Yue walked directly towards the main table, and the other three directors sat at the table next to him.

While waiting for the food to arrive, several people started chatting.

Tan Yue asked with a smile: "You are all in good spirits. It seems that the jet lag has reversed."

Fan Shan replied: "My old bones are not bad. I got used to it after one night's sleep."

He thought about the state he was in when he got off the plane yesterday, and his whole mind was groggy. At that time, he was still worried about whether it would affect the filming progress, but he didn't expect that he would be fine today.

Ma Guoliang said: "Teacher Fan is in much better health than us young people. Recently I learned a new word on the Internet called crispy college students. I feel that I am quite crispy now."

Laughter filled the whole hall.

Soon, the waiter began to serve the dishes.

The feature of this opening banquet is that there are both Chinese and Western food, and wine is naturally indispensable, including beer, white wine, and red wine.

Whether you drink or not, you must prepare.

Tan Yue picked up the microphone and said: "Everyone be quiet for a while."

The hall was quiet instantly.

Tan Yue continued: "This time, the crew members have both old friends and new friends. When there are problems, I hope you can take the initiative to help the new partners. "

"Everyone welcome the new friends with applause!"

Before Tan Yue finished speaking, the hall rang with warm applause and cheers.

"There are many new friends. I hope you can learn from the old members in the next period of time. If you find a problem that you can't solve, you should report to me as soon as possible. ”

“Every time we shoot a movie, it is a very difficult process. To make a better movie, everyone has to work harder. Here, I would like to thank everyone first.”

The hall was filled with warm applause again.

“I see that many employees have worked with me on The Godfather. This time, my goal is to surpass The Godfather. I hope you can work with me. The food has been served, so I won’t waste your time. Let’s start eating!”

The opening banquet officially begins!

Because tomorrow is the opening ceremony, no one wants to drink too much. Even Ma Guoliang, who usually loves to drink, has switched to tea.

This has always been his habit. He can drink some wine at ordinary times, but he will never drink during filming.

“Brother Ma, do you want to have a little?” Fan Shan asked.

Ma Guoliang waved his hand and said, “No more. I will drink with you when we hold the wrap-up banquet.”

“You should ask Zhou Can for this kind of drinking. I don’t drink much. "

Zhou Can raised his glass and said, "Teacher Ma, Teacher Fan, I will drink tea instead of wine. I hope that the two teachers can take care of me in the next period of time."

Originally, he was a person with social phobia. Today, he suddenly said so much because he was going to play the leading role in the movie. The person who was more powerful than him was a supporting role. He was worried that he would not perform well and would be a drag.

"Don't worry, we will take care of this matter."

The opening banquet of the crew of "The Shawshank Redemption" came to an end quickly.

No one wanted to let down at such an important moment tomorrow. Even if they drank, they would only drink a small glass. Most people still drank beverages or tea.

Tan Yue returned to his room, opened his laptop, and held the script in his hand. The filming would start tomorrow, so he still had to familiarize himself with it first.
