A Gulfstream G550 business jet with a star pattern printed on its tail landed at the airport. Under the arrangement of the flight attendant, several people got off the plane.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to China."
Cao Xuan smiled and hugged the main creators of "Now You See Me", and Mr. Tao, who was more familiar with him, glanced at the private jet behind him.
"Cao, if the traffic is like this during the publicity period, I have no problem flying."
"At least until you go back to the United States, it should be fine."
Cao Xuan told the truth, everyone flew around together in the early stage, and there were not many main creators, so they sat down easily.
However, the follow-up promotion scored several groups, and Cao Xuan himself had to fly back and forth, so it was difficult to meet the needs of other people's private jets.
In fact, it is possible to charter a flight, and private jet chartering in the United States is also very common, but this budget is quite overrun.
It's not that it's so expensive to rent a plane, but it's a bit flashy compared to a simple check payment.
Even if Cao Xuan agreed, Warner didn't agree. First class is already a good arrangement. Many production crews directly let actors do economy class, and even a few stingy production crews simply didn't reimburse the reimbursement and let the actors pay for it out of their own pockets.
Mr. Tao and the others didn't pay much attention.
To be honest, Cao Xuan sent his own private jet to pick up several main creators, which is already very face-saving.
Prior to this, they did not enjoy the treatment of taking a private jet to publicize or participate in activities.
Cao Xuan and the others exchanged a few words, left the airport, and took a commercial vehicle.
Gal Gadot asked curiously: "Where is Yang, isn't she with us?"
"She is currently participating in an event, and she will come over in the evening, and we will meet tomorrow."
Da Mimi is the main propagandist in the Asian region, how could she be missing, but there is still some finishing work, and after the end, she will focus on following the crew to promote.
Cao Xuan sent everyone to the arranged hotel, and there were a total of five main creators of "Shocking Demon Dao Group".
President Tao, Gal Gadot, Juan Fu, Mark Ruffalo (Hulk) and director Wen Ziren.
Counting Cao Xuan and Da Mimi, these people happen to be the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse plus the two police detectives who are their obvious opponents.
As for the real villain, Oscar winner Fudge Whittaker, he asked for leave because of a family matter. If it is resolved, he will rush over. If it cannot be resolved, he will wait for the next stage of publicity.
Everyone got off the plane at around 3:00 p.m. and rested in the hotel all afternoon. In the evening, Cao Xuan invited everyone to have a meal to cleanse the dust.
Houhai, fly on the grass
When several people learned that this restaurant was opened by Cao Xuan, they looked at the plaque at the door curiously.
"Cao, what does this mean?"
"Well."
Cao Xuan hesitated for a moment, and then explained: "This is the name of the restaurant. The literal translation means that the grass is flying in the sky."
"Wow, what an artistic scene."
Gail Gadot's praise for face-saving, several other people also echoed, and speculated about the special meaning of this word. Before they filmed with Cao Xuan, they had heard some Chinese allusions from Cao Xuan.
In the past few years, only Wen Ziren, who is of Chinese origin, looked a little strange.
Although he grew up abroad and is not very proficient in Chinese, he still knows some basic words. At least he knows the three characters "flying on the grass" and has a general understanding of what it means.
However, as a half-baked Chinese, he didn't know whether the word had other meanings, so he felt strange, but he didn't ask because he was afraid of showing cowardice.
Cao Xuan fooled a few people, and then led them into the store. The architecture with Chinese elements amazed everyone.
Caoshangfei opened its store earlier in the summer of 1999, and it has been regarded as a ten-year-old store so far.
Coupled with commercial reasons, Caoshangfei carried out a comprehensive rectification and construction very early, and continued to supplement and optimize during the period.
?As a private high-end restaurant, Caoshangfei does not have many dilapidated old courtyard houses. Instead, it is very clean and exquisite, full of Chinese classical style, with fine workmanship, magnificent temperament and great aesthetic feeling.
In such a restaurant, some Chinese people have a high chance of being shocked when they enter the door, let alone foreigners who know little about it.
They may not understand the value or preciousness of these furnishings, but the aesthetics are not lost, and it looks like a very high-end restaurant.
?Vision City has added a bit of starlight and selling points to the already lively film and television base.
During the recording of "A Show Tonight", Fatty Little Hei rarely "asked for leave", and Liu Yan hosted it alone.
This is also understandable, the little black fat man hardly understands English, and others can't understand what he is saying, even if he shakes his burden, others can't understand. This occasion is too embarrassing, so it's better for Liu Yan to come alone.
?As a professional host, Liu Yan has studied English, so she can't say how good she is, but she can handle it.
?It really didn¡¯t work, and there were also Cao Xuan and Da Mimi passing the message in the middle, speaking in Chinese and English, and the whole interview went smoothly.
Let's talk about interesting things during the filming, some thoughts about the film, and some feelings in China these two days. Not to mention full of dry goods, the amount of information is quite sufficient.
After the recording was over, Cao Xuan took "You Now You See Me" to Fanxing Film and Television City. Mr. Tao and the others were quite curious about this place.
Cao Xuan acted as a guide and took them to visit scenic spots such as Tang City, Spring and Autumn and Warring States City, Chaoge City, Millennium Street, and Southern and Northern Dynasty City in batches. The palaces, street scenes, and cities made several foreign actors couldn't help taking pictures.
When it was almost time to go shopping, Juan Fu couldn't help feeling: "It's really unexpected that there is such a large-scale shooting base in China."
Wen Ziren also nodded: "Besides Hollywood, this is the largest film and television base I have ever seen. Although the film technology may be a bit inferior to Hollywood, there are still many bright spots."
"Chris, Director Wen, do you know who owns this film and television city?"
"It can't beCao, right?"
Mr. Tao and the others knew that Da Mimi mentioned this incident for no reason, and had a faint guess in their hearts, but they still couldn't believe it.
Even if they had expected Cao Xuan's financial resources, the pure figures would not be as shocking as it seems that a film and television city the size of a town belongs to one person.
Looking at the bewildered people, Cao Xuan smiled slightly and opened his arms slightly.
"Everyone, welcome to my Hollywood!"
Many years later, Chris Evans wrote in his autobiography that although Robert Downey Jr. has good acting skills, whenever he thinks of the word billionaire, the first thing he thinks of is Cao Xuan who plays Hawkeye.
Because no matter how good Robert Downey Jr.'s performance is, it's just a performance, and Cao Xuan made him feel what a real rich man is ?
