A hospital in Haidian District, this is the filming set of "Love Call Transfer".
in the lens.
The male protagonist Xu Lang entered the hospital for the third time in the story. This time he was accompanied by a hot blonde. Unfortunately, the injury was more serious, and one arm was cast.
Encountered a female doctor again.
Seeing the other party's eyes turning playfully, Xu Lang subconsciously said: "Listen to me..." Halfway through the words, he probably remembered a series of unsatisfactory encounters after getting a certain love call. Before the other party could say the mantra, he suddenly felt a little... He smashed the jar and stared, "I won't explain to you, why should I explain to you? Why should I explain to you?"
The female doctor looked away calmly.
However, the blonde next to Xu Lang quit. With a curious and serious expression, she looked around between Xu Lang and the female doctor and asked in authentic Mandarin: "Xu Lang, you have to explain to her What, why are you explaining to her, hey, you need to give me an explanation now?”
The male protagonist, who was almost driven crazy in a wheelchair, raised his plastered arm in front of the blonde. With his other hand, he took out a mobile phone tremblingly and pressed the buttons neatly.
"Ka, Lao Li, your body language is very good, but your expression is not good enough. You need to look more broken. Also, Miss Sorvino, you have to be more aggressive... That is, that..."
"Director, I understand what being aggressive means."
"Oh, I'm sorry. To be specific, you should get closer to Lao Li. By the way, the camera position needs to be slightly adjusted to create a sense of oppression. Lao Zhang..."
After re-arranging the arrangements, we started shooting again.
In the new version of "Love Call Transfer", Simon personally participated in the details, in addition to a theme song, there are also several classic jokes, such as the opening monologue, and the protagonist's continuous admission to the hospital during the affair. In addition, the male... The protagonist's name is still Xu Lang.
It’s just that this time the hero is definitely not the very young Xu Ludan, but replaced by Li Dashan, the real estate agent at the end of “Big Shot”: “How much do you think a house like this would cost per square meter?”
This is also the result of careful selection and consideration.
The director of the film was replaced by Feng Pants. The first male lead chosen by the other party was basically a group of people from the Beijing circle. Uncle Ge, who had already worked with Director Feng and was well-known, was recommended first and was also the first to be eliminated. , Uncle Ge's style is too gentle and restrained, and the performance will only have the feeling of "Party A, Party B" and "Big Shot". What Simon needs is a cheerful style that is outgoing and funny.
I went through a lot of auditions, and even tried Gong Ge who was outside the Beijing circle.
I miss you so much!
The result was too open and too ugly. In addition, Gong Ge started to participate in the Spring Festival Gala in the 1980s and participated too many times, so he was too stereotyped in the audience's mind. Playing such a romantic comedy among many beauties would make people confused. play.
Finally, Mr. Li was chosen.
Simon personally watched the audition video before he approved the audition. Li Daqian auditioned for the scene where he complained about not having an itch for seven years at the beginning. It was basically the effect of the monologue in "Big Shot" that was condensed and condensed a few more steps.
Still stunning.
In terms of appearance, although he is already over 40 years old, at this time, Mr. Li is not bald or even bald as he was later. After taking care of himself, he is still the handsome middle-aged man in a suit with straight black hair in "Enjoyed" three years ago. Male, it is not an exaggeration to say he is in his early thirties, which fits the script's image of Xu Lang, who is in his thirties and has a successful career, but looks good.
Let’s talk about the episode we are currently filming.
The pre-plot is that after meeting an overseas girl who wants to go to the United States in every possible way, the male protagonist who thinks that his motherland is pretty good is very curious, so he wants to try out what it's like to be a foreign girl.
Mira Sorvino plays Barbara, who works as a foreign teacher at a university and speaks better Chinese than English.
A certain chef's conception of this plot is very thoughtful. Even if the current situation of first-class foreigners is common in society, this story still achieves a good balance. It does not touch any potentially sensitive details, but starts from the perspective of the two people. Start with the character.
Xu Lang has achieved success in his career, but in life he has the attitude of "just enough", while Barbara has a serious character of "not even a hair, a minute or a second", and is very serious about life. He is also more sincere about love and searches for the root cause of everything.

This opposition naturally creates a strong dramatic conflict.
Coupled with some short jokes about the cultural differences between East and West, the chemistry between the two is simply sparkling.
In the end, during the process of helping Barbara move, Xu Lang was sent to the hospital for the third time because of a dispute over the placement of furniture. The wardrobe and table cabinets collapsed like dominoes, which also made the hero understand that this foreign girl was still not him. dish.
Can't hold on.
The last scene was shot five times in a row. Feng Pants was finally satisfied. He stood up from behind the monitor, clapped his hands to attract the attention of everyone present, and said loudly: "Everyone, Miss Sorvino's scene has been completed. Let's all thank her for this." It takes a while.”
As he spoke, he took the lead in applauding, and the crew members also applauded, and some even brought bouquets of flowers prepared in advance.
After another group photo and greetings, Feng Pengtong signaled everyone to continue working, and took the leading actor Li Daqian and Mira Sorvino to Chen Qing, who was waiting not far away. Chen Qing had just arrived not long ago, There is also another domestic actress with her, the one with the same name as Chen Qing but a different surname but somewhat similar appearance, the famous Princess Xu.
Also in the Beijing circle, Princess Xu also participated in "Love Call Transfer", playing the role of Mira Sorvino's previous overseas girl.
As soon as Feng Pengtang came closer, he smiled and started to cheer: "Let me tell you, when we were filming a few days ago, I always felt that Xiao Xu looked familiar. When I saw Mr. Chen, I immediately understood. You two are really similar, and your names are the same. , there is such a coincidence in this world, they are almost twins, and they are both so beautiful."
Chen Qing looked like she was enjoying Feng Pants' praise, but she asked: "Director Feng, who do you think is more beautiful between the two of us?"
Feng Pants was famous for his sweet mouth, so he would not be stumped by this question, and immediately said: "Mr. Chen, your question is equivalent to standing in front of the mirror and asking who is beautiful between two people, inside and outside. They are both stunning beauties, so there is no difference. "
After a few pleasantries, Chen Qing greeted Li Dashan again, followed by Mira Sorvino.
Mira Sorvino only felt that the unattractive Chinese director next to her was really good at talking. She had just stood opposite Chen Qing and at first glance, she saw two Qings who were obviously deliberately wearing the same clothes, hairstyle and eyebrows. , also feels very similar.
However, after a little analysis, there are still many differences in appearance details. Chen Qing's lips are thinner and her face is slightly thinner, so her nasolabial folds won't be too obvious when she smiles. Princess Xu is just the opposite.
The difference in temperament is even more obvious.
Chen Qing is a typical strong woman, and she will naturally become the focus of everyone's attention when she stands there. Princess Xu next to her is obviously trying to please Chen Qing with some subtlety, so she gives people the impression of a master and a maid. the difference.
Chen Qing came to pick up Mira Sorvino.
Today is already Tuesday, July 15th.
At the beginning of the month, Chen Qing planned to join in the excitement of the return ceremony and then return to the United States. Due to matters in Southeast Asia, she was temporarily called to the capital to help communicate with her boss on various matters. She stayed there for half a month.
Now it’s finally time to return to the United States.
It happened that Mira Sorvino's scene was about to be finished, and her boss asked her to take care of her, so they made an appointment to meet her.
Without staying too long on the set of "Love Call Transfer", after picking up people, Chen Qing and her party left in a hurry and went straight to the airport in the northern suburbs of Beijing.
It was the first time for Princess Xu to fly on a private plane. She was still a little excited until the Gulfstream V stabilized at high altitude. In the past few days, she had met Chen Qing and she deliberately made friends with her. Unexpectedly, Chen Qing seemed to be more interested in her. In recent days, Tian was even inseparable, sleeping together, and even deliberately dressing the two to look similar.
After leaving this time, Chen Qing took the initiative to invite her again and asked her if she was interested in going to the United States. She also said that Chinese movie stars have been very popular in Hollywood in the past two years and he could help her develop there.
Of course Princess Xu couldn't ask for it.
As for Chen Qing, she also mentioned that she would take her to meet her boss, saying that the other party would definitely be interested in her. Princess Xu just thought about the courtyard house in Maoer Hutong and the people and things that Chen Qing had come into contact with in recent days. It is difficult to have any resistance.
Especially after some private inquiries, I roughly guessed who the boss behind Ms. Chen was.
Unfastening the seat belt on the fixed seat, she originally wanted to communicate with Chen Qing more and wanted to go to the office in the front cabin, but was stopped by a waitress. Princess Xu had to stay in the middle cabin with the same no special treatment. Mira Sorvino started chatting, asking about things in Hollywood.
The other side.
When the plane calmed down, Chen Qing hid in the front cabin and began to sort out the work during this period.
In addition to helping coordinate things in Southeast Asia, since she had to stay in the capital, Chen Qing also participated in many projects during this time.
The first is the official opening of Yigret’s Beijing data center.
Chen Qing attended the opening ceremony.
As the Chinese government invested tens of billions of yuan last year to vigorously promote the development of the Internet industry, coupled with the significant reduction in network access costs, the number of Internet users in China began to show an exponential growth trend. Compared with the total of 2 million at the end of 1996 The number of Internet access users in China has exceeded 3 million in the first half of this year alone. It is expected that the annual growth will be between 7 million and 8 million. The cumulative number of Internet access users in China will also be Breaking through 10 million.
Even if each access user covers 3 Internet users, by the end of 1997, it means that China will have 30 million Internet users, which is already the entire population of many small countries.
Moreover, the bursting of the Internet bubble in the first half of the year did not hinder this growth momentum at all. Anyone with a little vision understands that this is the general trend.
Then there is the Westeros system’s Internet industry layout for China.
Except for the two major data centers in Beijing and Shanghai, Chen Qing seemed to be lagging behind in other aspects. It wasn't until his boss explained it in person that he understood someone's intention.
After thinking about it, Chen Qing also agreed very much with the localization strategy of the Westeros system for the Chinese Internet. Taking advantage of the launch of the Beijing data center, she quietly established several venture capital funds recently, while other capitals were timid due to the bursting of the Internet bubble. Now, continue to spend money generously.
It can be said that at this stage, the Westeros system in China has supported more than one start-up company in terms of portals, e-mails, e-commerce and other businesses, which can be said to be full of cunning rabbits.
Secondly, these days, by the way, CCTV and the French data research giant Sovereign have established a joint venture.
The Westeros System invested in a sub-fund headquartered in Hong Kong and obtained 20% of the shares. In addition, CCTV held 50% of the shares and Sofurui held 30%.
According to his boss, it was just one move.
Chen Qing found it very useful.
After all major domestic provincial channels are launched on stars this year and next, competition in the television industry will be fierce. Ratings data will become increasingly important to both TV stations and advertisers. Ratings research companies that have the right to speak actually It's like a referee.
Even a fool can understand the benefits of being both a player and a referee.
Speaking of which, Chen Qing originally wanted to find Nielsen. Compared with Softrich, Nielsen is more famous. This company has already entered China in the 1980s, but has only been doing it in a small way.
But the brand is there after all.
As a result, the proposal was rejected by her boss without giving any reason, and she was asked to reflect on her own. After Chen Qing studied it carefully, she realized that her boss was really a master.
The main reason is that Nielsen's survey method is too scientific and rigorous. User terminals are equipped with instruments for direct monitoring, while Softori is lagging behind, and even requires users to directly fill in ratings record cards.
It’s good to be behind.
The further behind we are, the more room for maneuverability there is.
Not only that, but his boss also revealed that Nielsen and Sofry are seeking to merge, and there is a high probability that it will happen. According to Western antitrust laws, a data survey company cannot open two companies in the same market at the same time. When the time comes, Nielsen can take advantage of the situation. squeeze out China.
Then one family becomes the only one.
Then, there is the routine follow-up on various other projects.
In fact, there was a project recently proposed by Jinshu to build a movie theater here in Beijing. On the one hand, it can enclose the land. On the other hand, the culture of the north and the south is different after all. The movie city here is mainly proposed. Preparing for "Mansion Gate" can be used to shoot many similar projects.
Chen Qing was also very excited, and everyone had already chosen their seats.
Changping.
This is a reference to Los Angeles.
The reason why Beverly Hills developed is because of Hollywood.
If a large-scale film and television city is built in Changping, it can directly promote the prosperity of surrounding industries. At the same time, the Rose Garden Villa Project invested by the Westeros System in Changping will also increase.
Unfortunately it was still rejected.
The reason is that it is not appropriate to make any big moves in the near future.
Chen Qing understood as soon as she thought about it that her boss had just given a big favor in Southeast Asia. It was like a jar of new wine. Drinking it immediately without brewing for a few years would be a waste of money.
At this juncture, Jinshu's proposal to build a movie theater in the capital may be tantamount to tampering with the new wine that has just been obtained.
The higher-ups will definitely agree, maybe be very happy, and return the favor immediately. But in the Westeros system, it's hard to say how much a jar of new wine will be consumed by a movie theater.
Finally, it is Princess Xu who I brought with me this time.
During the casting process, Chen Qing discovered her boss's interest. In addition, the person had the same name as her and similar appearance, so she took advantage of the opportunity and took it back to North America this time as a gift for her boss.
What can I do without a souvenir after returning from a long trip
In fact, Chen Qing brought more gifts to Princess Xu.
In the ongoing "Super Girl", Chen Qing has also selected a group of beauties with great appearance and temperament. Of course, she didn't bring them with her this time, just her resume information, intending to let her boss choose.
The main reason is that Chen Qing discovered that her boss is a person who values "the clothes are not as good as the newcomers as the old ones". The more women around him, the harder it is to pay too much attention to any one of them. And they, the first comers, will get more attention based on their original friendship. What's more, proactively catering to your boss's preferences is also a very effective way to win favor.
