Kara looked at the Chinese people present and laughed, and she laughed too.
She knew that the Chinese would be happy that "The Martian" would be filmed in China, but she didn't expect that they would be so happy. Some young guys even jumped up and down with joy.
Chinese people give people a very reserved impression. No matter whether they encounter happy or sad things, they always behave very restrainedly. Unless they are particularly happy, it is impossible for them to behave so enthusiastically.
These things she didn't quite understand, she needed some time to study.
The reason why Spielberg sent her here this time is because she will join the team as the first assistant director during the subsequent filming of "The Martian" and come to China earlier than Spielberg.
After the dinner started, the atmosphere at the table was very lively. Originally, everyone wanted to refrain from drinking because they had business to do tomorrow, but because of "The Martian", they unconsciously drank a few more drinks.
…
The next morning, Yu Dong got up very early. He made an agreement with Cheng Yanqiu to go shopping nearby this morning.
They had just had breakfast and were about to leave the hotel when Yu Dong received a call from Jimmy.
"Hey, are you in the room?"
"Teacher Cheng and I are in the restaurant, what's wrong?"
"I'm eating. Come to my room after eating."
Yu Dong looked at Cheng Yanqiu and asked, "Is there anything important?"
"Well, there is news about road construction."
Hearing that Jimmy's tone was not particularly exciting, Yu Dong asked: "What's wrong? Are you encountering resistance?"
"That's not true. Come over here. It's a waste of phone bills so close."
After hanging up the phone, Cheng Yanqiu smiled beside him and said: "If you have anything to do, just go over there. We don't have to miss half a day. We can go shopping tomorrow."
"Okay, then I'll go over first. If it's still early after the chat, we can go out later."
Cheng Yanqiu shook his head: "Forget it, I won't go out today. You can talk about things in peace. I just happened to take a look at the information that Hu Hao brought."
The information she mentioned was the manuscript of the soundtrack song for "Love Song of Stars and Moon".
Li Hong is also a good person. After the filming of the TV series started, she tried her best to invite Cheng Yanqiu, the proprietress, as the general music consultant of the TV series, and let Cheng Yanqiu take charge of the soundtrack of the entire TV series.
Under the guidance of Yiliu, Deep Space Music has been soliciting submissions for songs needed for the TV series. This has been going on for more than a month, and now the first batch of submissions have been collected.
Cheng Yanqiu has now taken over the soundtrack, so she naturally chooses the songs.
Hearing that Cheng Yanqiu wanted to read the manuscript, Yu Dong didn't say anything and nodded: "Okay, I'll go there first."
…
When Yu Dong went to Jimmy's room, he was still washing up.
When he opened the door and saw Yu Dong's empty hands, he couldn't help but curl his lips: "My God, why aren't you attentive at all? Don't you know how to bring me some breakfast?"
"What's going on here? There's nothing good left for breakfast in the restaurant. I asked the hotel to make a bowl of steamed rice rolls and they'll be delivered to you shortly."
When he heard about fat rice rolls, Jimmy laughed: "You still understand me best."
Yu Dong does understand Jimmy, at least in terms of taste.
Although Jimmy is an American, he has a very strong taste. He especially likes to eat offal, and sausage is his favorite. When he was in Yanjing, he would eat at least five bowls of fried liver a week.
Yu Dong walked in with a smile and sat down on the bench, "Tell me, what happened to the road construction?"
Jimmy rinsed his mouth and wiped his face as he walked out, "It's not a big deal, it's just that the boss changed the original judgment question into a multiple choice question."
"Multiple choice question?" Yu Dong looked confused.
"Ang." Jimmy nodded: "It just became a multiple-choice question. The application we submitted was to build a 94-kilometer road from Oboliang to the foot of the Salt-Alkali Mountain. The superiors agreed, but they also threw out questions for us.
Another option is to build a road from the foot of the salt-alkali mountain to the center of Mangya in addition to this road."
Yu Dong understood clearly. The superiors wanted Deep Space Company to build one more section.
"How far is this section?"
"It's about two hundred and thirty kilometers longer, and this road can be said to be a main road, so the road is wider and the price is higher. But the boss also said that they are willing to allocate 60% of the capital. I roughly said
After calculation, if the higher-up allocates 60% of the capital, we will need to pay about 20 million more for this road."
"Twenty million." Yu Dong nodded: "It's still within the acceptable range."
Jimmy smiled and said: "Actually, once the road is repaired, our subsequent shooting costs will be reduced. Of course, the most important thing is that the superiors have said that if we agree to this plan, they are willing to name it 'Deep Space'
This road is 320 kilometers long."
name?
Yu Dong raised his eyebrows.
Naming roads after companies is nothing new. In recent years, many places want to build roads for economic development, but local governments do not have enough funds, so they will recruit funds from large local companies and then use the naming rights.
To businesses.
But this time they were so brave that they actually named a road over 300 kilometers long for deep space.
Yu Dong looked at Jimmy: "What do you think about this?"
Jimmy had been staring at Yu Dong, and he laughed when he heard Yu Dong ask, "In the short term, it must be a good thing."
"In the long run, it won't be the case?"
"In the long term, it's hard to say because this road is too long. We have investigated and found that it is a main road from Yanshan Mountain to the center of Mangya. According to the current development trend, a highway will definitely be built here in the future. By then we will
It will be very embarrassing. Where is the embarrassment? If the country plans a thousand-kilometer highway, and our road is sandwiched in the middle, there will be a naming problem. Should we continue to use Deep Space or should we change the name uniformly?"
At this point, the doorbell rang.
Jimmy ran to open the door and saw the steamed rice roll made by the hotel.
"Take a bite first, I'm hungry."
After a few words of fanfare, Jimmy continued: "We can also wait until the superiors are building roads later before changing the name, but it is also a difficult thing for them. After all, it would be shameful for the superiors to change something that has been decided midway.
.So what I mean is, since you know that you are likely to have to change it in the future, it’s better not to do it now.”
"You mean, for multiple-choice questions, we choose the first one?"
"That's not the case." Jimmy waved his hand: "We can choose the second one and help them repair the road. As for naming it, we only want the 94 kilometers of road."
After hearing Jimmy's words, Yu Dong gave a thumbs up: "Mr. Ji, there is a pattern."
Chapter completed!
