Entertainment: Stepmother’s daughter is actually a future queen

Chapter 243 The State of Terror
After establishing these places, Lin Yu wrote them down one by one in his notebook. Then there was another worrying thing... Lin Yu had never been abroad at all.

When I went to Little Days before, I was accompanied by the crew the whole time. Now that I am going to the United States, I can only solve all the troubles of the strategy by myself.

Lin Yu thought about it for a while, and decided to solve this small problem according to the idea of ​​​​making a movie, that is, to break up a completely unknown thing and do it.

Ever since, going abroad has become a matter of details such as visas, air tickets, translation, accommodation, and negotiation.

Suddenly the problem was much easier to solve.

But Lin Yu still planned to find someone to ask for advice first. Lin Yu first asked the teachers at the school, and they recommended a teacher who traveled abroad all year round to chat with Lin Yu.

The other party is a middle-aged man in his late forties. Because of school chores, he often travels abroad on business, and he knows everything about daily life abroad.

"Are you going to sign an abandoned mental hospital and transform it into a film and television production base?" Xu Han looked at Lin Yu up and down and couldn't help but smile, "Ayu, I've heard that you are very popular in our school. You are famous, but you are thinking of going abroad to make a movie by yourself? You are courageous."

"But I suggest you shoot in China."

"why?"

"It's troublesome." Xu Han glanced at Lin Yu and said, "Is it that easy to go abroad to shoot a movie? Just grab a camera and shoot it for you? As far as I know, first of all, the laws of each state are different. Yes, in most cases, you need to obtain a filming permit first.”

"Secondly, you also need to obtain a 'no-objection letter' from the local film union. If you cannot get these two, you may not even be able to apply for a visa."

"This no-objection letter is not simply approved after you apply for it. As far as I know, it is divided into two types: O1-A and O1-B. The former requires six conditions to be met at the same time, and the latter requires less materials, but It’s also troublesome.”

"When you get to the local area, at your age, and there is no major national literary and art institution to issue you a certificate, I don't think any abandoned hospital will be willing to let you use it."

To put it simply, filming a movie abroad is actually more cumbersome than doing it at home!
After all, people want to censor you. God knows if you are going to make a movie or to secretly photograph the secrets of other people's national construction units, right?
You need to take a camera and take pictures casually, and the local residents will report you the next day and send you to the police.

"Okay, thank you teacher."

Coming out of Xu Han's place, Lin Yu was as big as two heads.

It was ten times more troublesome than I thought. To put it simply, if you want to shoot a movie in the United States, you need to obtain at least two licenses. One is the 'shooting license' from the local film association.

[-]. A letter of no objection from the local trade union.

With these two, I can take the crew to get a visa and go filming abroad. It's so troublesome!

I just want to keep it simple!

In my original impression, Detective Chinatown 2 was galloping around Times Square in New York City. What they were showing off was not their money, but their connections. .

"Before you do something, you still have to ask carefully. For any small mistake, others may pay a heavy price, but let me tell you, it only takes three seconds."

It’s never a bad thing to ask more.

After thinking about it, Lin Yu bit the bullet and called Director Liu Weiqiang. He felt a little embarrassed to trouble Liu Dehua again. Last time, he almost used up all his favors just to have sex with the extraordinary you.

In the afternoon, he made three calls one after another. The third one was answered by his secretary, telling him that Liu Weiqiang was busy and would return his call at about five o'clock in the afternoon.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Weiqiang returned the call.

"Ah Yu." Liu Weiqiang's hearty voice came from the phone, "Why are you calling me?"

"Director, I want to ask you something." Lin Yu told Liu Weiqiang that he wanted to make a movie abroad, including the two visa issues.

"Hey, I really plan to make a movie by myself. I'm going to go abroad to shoot it. Is it so big? What kind of subject is it?" Upon hearing this, Liu Weiqiang got excited.

When he was filming Initial D again, Liu Weiqiang taught him a lot. He could tell at that time that Lin Yu was more interested in the knowledge of camera language.

On the other end of the phone, Liu Weiqiang smoked a cigarette.

"Actually, it's not that troublesome. It's simple. It depends on which state you go to and what kind of movie you make. You don't necessarily need a filming license. Let me give you a call. His name is Lao Xing, who is responsible for contacting the Foreign Film Association. The person you contact is an industry insider in this field. If you pay him some consulting fees, he can do anything for you."

"Okay, that's it. If you have any questions, please contact me."

"Thank you Director Liu."

Click, the conversation ended immediately. Lin Yu was familiar with Liu Weiqiang's style. In less than a minute, a phone number was sent to Lin Yu, and Lin Yu took the number and dialed it.

On the other end of the phone, a voice with the voice of a drake soon came out, "It's Teacher Lin, right? Director Liu just told me."

"For us, it mainly depends on which state you go to film a movie. Policies are different in different places. If you find it troublesome, we will help you handle this matter."

"You submit some materials and scripts, and we will report them to you for review. In about a month, the license will be issued..., provided there are no mistakes in the script."

"We will charge you a handling fee of 2 yuan."

Twenty thousand is really a lot. It's just a matter of information gap. Newcomers won't be able to handle it, and they will be tricked in every aspect. Once you get familiar with it, you won't have to spend the money from this scapegoat.

"Okay, but you have to promise me that there will be no further trouble."

"Don't worry, I've been doing this for almost seven years." On the other end of the phone, the man said in a cheerful tone.

"I have something else to do." Lin Yu told Lao Xing that he wanted to buy an abandoned mental hospital.

"Well." Lao Xing paused and then said, "You are not a local. This is really troublesome. There is a [-]% chance that abandoned mental hospitals and hospitals like this are in the hands of some individuals and belong to them. Abandoned personal assets are more troublesome."

"The other [-]% probability is in the hands of the state government. This is also troublesome. Under normal circumstances, others will not pay attention to you... Hehe, this is also my business."

"I will definitely negotiate for you 5 yuan in labor fees. How about that?"

"The rent I paid doesn't even have to be [-] yuan." Lin Yu said coldly, "If you go and negotiate the price, won't you get a commission from it?"

There was silence on the other side for a few seconds, and Lian laughed awkwardly, "Then thirty thousand, they are all friends of Director Liu."

"Twenty thousand, and the signed contract and the amount must be clearly seen on it."

"Huh? I mean this comrade?"

"Otherwise I'll find someone else to do it."

"Okay, okay, okay." The other party complained on the phone, "From the sound of your voice, you sound like you're not yet an adult. Hey, it's hard to make money now... so you plan to go there first. , and then went on a field trip?”

"Let's make an appointment to meet somewhere first. Let's agree first that you have to pay for my plane ticket."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yu took a deep breath.Such old fritters and brokers in society.Lin Yu knew there was still a trap from the way he readily agreed.It sounds like he just made [-] yuan, and he seems to be very smart. Maybe when the phone hangs up, people still think he is a stupid fat sheep.

But there is no other way. Just entering an unfamiliar industry, this is the tuition fee.

I exchanged WeChat messages with this man named Xing Xue, and soon an address was sent to me. It was very far away, in Qizhou, more than 1000 kilometers away from here, and I had to take a plane to get there.

"Look at the director written in the novel. He scolded Fang Qiu and casually came up with a movie script, regardless of whether it was suitable for the local area. He shot it and it immediately became a big hit."

"Hey, why am I so tired as a director? I feel like a nanny."

Lin Yu shook his head. This was because his team was not mature enough. From now on, he could leave all these trivial matters to business and just concentrate on making a good movie.

But now, we can only take one step at a time. This path is not easy to follow.

He clearly asked for leave from the school. Lin Yu now holds the IP address of Ghost Record, and he still has a very strong voice in the school. He told the director of the Academic Affairs Office, and he immediately gave Lin Yu the rest of his time. All approved.

From now on until the start of the next semester, Lin Yu can stop coming.

After solving this worry, Lin Yu bought a ticket and flew directly to Qizhou.

On a crowded plane, you can't stretch your legs in the front and back rows at all. Flying is quite boring. Lin Yu bought a window seat. At first glance, he didn't feel that "high class" at all.

On the contrary, it feels like squeezing on the green train with the uncles of migrant workers.

During this period, there was also a leak in the luggage brought by an aunt. The flight attendants worked hard to clean it up for a long time and spent half an hour before the plane took off.

Lin Yu put on an eye mask, leaned against the airplane window and fell asleep.

Three hours later, the plane landed smoothly. Due to the inconsistent air pressure in the eardrums, my ears started to buzz. By the time I got off the plane and left the airport, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.

Lin Yu took a taxi, went to the hotel he had booked, settled down to rest, sent a message to Lao Xing on his mobile phone, and then fell asleep.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Lin Yu went out. Qizhou looked completely different from Qinzhou. The place seemed quite backward, the surrounding high-rise buildings also looked "shabby", the streets were a bit dirty, and the population was low. many.

The taxis driving in the car were also running rampant.

After taking a taxi and meeting at the coffee shop agreed by Xing Xueming, Lin Yu ordered himself a cup of coffee and then waited for someone.

Half an hour later, a very coquettish-looking man with shiny hair, a briefcase under his arm, and leather boots walked in. As soon as he entered the coffee shop, he looked around.

When people stand in front of the coffee shop, they stand out from the crowd, like someone handing out flyers rather than a customer.

"Lao Xing, here."

Xing Xueming looked over following the voice and immediately trotted in, "Teacher Lin, are you so young?"

Xing Xueming said with a smile on his face and glanced at Lin Yu up and down.

Lin Yu didn't say anything. He took out a piece of paper and put it on the table. "This is the information I checked online. I need to negotiate with the local 'school' and mental hospital at the same time. Take a look."

Xing Xueming smiled, and when he touched his side, his expression froze. There was only a cup of coffee in front of Lin Yu on the table.

The young man was crossing his legs and looking at him calmly.

Mr.

At his age, at most, he just doesn't have enough experience, but it doesn't mean he is mentally immature. These are two problems.

"New Jersey, don't think about it." Xing Xueming folded his fingers in front of him and stamped one of the names on the note.

"Why?" Lin Yu also folded his hands and asked calmly.

"Princeton University in New Jersey is the best private school in the United States. Normally, this school is very exclusive and will not inexplicably rent the school to an unknown person to make a movie, even if you only need a dormitory."

"Besides, I read your script. A group of people who love making movies... I don't think they can get into Princeton with their 'academic qualifications'. The most important thing is that there is no film department there."

Xing Xueming said confidently.

Seeing him like this, Lin Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief, took out a pen, drew on the list, and crossed out the name, "What else?"

At least from this point of view, the person recommended by Liu Weiqiang is reliable. This person does have real talent and learning.

"And this, Kentucky, I don't recommend."

"why?"

"In this state, the city government office is rather old-fashioned, and it is very difficult to go there to negotiate. I think it is very troublesome if you want to negotiate with a university and a mental hospital at the same time, and get the series of approval materials."

This time Lin Yu was silent.

"I recommend you to leave these two states, Maine and Connecticut. You chose very well."

"why?"

"Connecticut is famous for its haunting rumors. There is even a well-known horror movie, "Connecticut Haunted House". It is said that this is the only recognized supernatural haunted house in the United States."

"The story of a family of three who died in that haunted house."

"If you go to this state to source materials and say "Cemetery Encounter", the audience will understand that you are using a Connecticut haunted house movie. There are no flaws. It is very good."

"Simply put, this state already has elements of terror and a basis for terror."

The smile on Lin Yu's face became brighter and brighter, "What's more, what do you mean by Maine?"

Xing Xueming probably wanted to earn Lin Yu's tens of thousands of dollars, so he tried his best to show off his profound knowledge of the United States. "It's similar to Connecticut. Maine itself is a very poor and backward state."

"It's geographically remote and rugged, with two-thirds of the state covered in trees and largely close to Indian settlements. It's known as the 'Pine Tree State.'"

"The most amazing thing is that there are a lot of horror stories in Maine. If Connecticut is only home to a well-known haunted house, then Maine is simply known as the 'Scary State' in the United States."

"For example, the most famous horror novelist in the United States, Stephen Edwin King, wrote a large number of horror short stories, all of which were based on Maine and based on this state."

"Like, 'Ghost Town, Maine'!"
