Long Island, New York, the small town of Oyster Bay.
Long Island is an island in North America in the Atlantic Ocean, located on the east coast of North America, belonging to the state of New York.
Lin Zixuan's requirements for accommodation are very simple, as cheap as possible under the condition of ensuring public security, and it is best to have a Chinese settlement and Chinese restaurants around, so that life is convenient.
The Chinese embassy got a business car and sent the crew to their residence, which was an old apartment building.
According to Ding Yaowu, most of the people who rent here are Asians, and there are a small number of blacks, and there is a Chinese neighborhood nearby, where there are Chinese restaurants and all kinds of shops, so life should not be a problem.
There are buses and trains to get around, and if you need to drive, you can rent a car from one of the car rental agencies in town, just with your passport.
As for driver's licenses, Chinese driver's licenses are not universally available in the United States.
The traffic rules are different in every state in the United States, and Chinese driver's licenses are recognized in New York State, but you should ask for information in other states to avoid trouble.
If the crew wants to shoot a TV series in a public place, it is best to coordinate with the relevant local departments, but if the coordination is not good, they cannot be caught red-handed, otherwise they will face serious consequences.
They can be repatriated to their home countries or arrested and imprisoned for threatening public order and safety.
These are all reminders from Ding Yaowu, he knows the habits of domestic people, likes to be convenient, takes shortcuts, doesn't care much about the law, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is legally blind.
What can be done in the capital is not possible in the United States, and the two countries have different concepts of many things, which is the cultural barrier.
Ding Yaowu rented three adjacent houses in the apartment building, each of which was a two-bedroom and one-living room layout, and one room for two people was enough, and the lease period was one month.
If you want to renew the lease, it's very convenient, just take the money.
He took Lin Zixuan and the others to the room, handed over the door key, explained and left, and did not forget to ask Lin Zixuan to rent a house with the embassy before leaving.
The embassy is only responsible for providing convenience, not a nanny for the whole process, which is good enough to be able to do this.
"The conditions are okay, fortunately it's not a basement, let's assign it ourselves."
Feng Xiaogang walked around and commented.
The room is well equipped with simple furniture and appliances, as well as a place to cook.
Just buy some daily necessities and you're ready to stay.
Lin Zixuan and Mu Shanshan naturally live in the same room, Wang Ji and Yan Xiaofeng do not live here for the time being, they have a place to live in the United States, they have to go over to reunite with their families first, and then enter the crew after a while.
At present, the room is quite spacious, Jiang Wen and Feng Xiaogang are in a separate room.
Everyone found a room, and everyone discussed going out for a walk, experiencing the life of a small American town, and by the way, they had a simple breakfast on the plane in the morning.
Got out of the room, locked the door, and a group of people went downstairs.
Along the way, I met a lot of faces that looked like Chinese, and I wanted to ask about the road, but who knew that when I heard the tone of the other party's speech, I knew that it was either Korean or Japanese.
The area is a gathering place for Asian Americans, and other Asian countries are also popular with studying in the United States and panning for gold.
After walking for about ten minutes, I saw a lot of signboards, which were Chinese traditional Chinese characters, which felt a lot more intimate, this is a neighborhood where most of the Chinese live.
The shops on the street have a bit of a retro color, which is rare to see in China, and the communication is mainly in Cantonese.
"How do you feel that we are not going abroad, but going out of the province to Huacheng."
Feng Xiaogang joked.
"It's not obvious here, if you go to New York's Chinatown, it's full of Chinese, there are a lot of old buildings, and many Chinese still follow the old way of life, and when they first came, they thought they were back before the liberation."
Wang Ji introduced.
"That dare is good, they are all their own people, and they can take care of each other, which will save a lot of trouble in the future."
The prop master rejoiced.
"Don't be lucky, haven't you heard of killing familiarity" Wang Ji reminded, "Some people here do think that everyone is Chinese and will take care of it, but some people see that we are from China, and we are not familiar with the place, so we are specially pitted, and you can't find it back afterwards, just as a lesson." ” "The police don't care," someone wondered.
"The police will not care about such small things at all, especially for Asians living in the United States, the American police do not understand Chinese, they are most annoyed by this kind of thing, in their eyes we are all the same, either arrested, or fined, do not ask who is right and who is wrong, especially rough."
Wang Ji said helplessly, "So, let's not mess with the police in the United States, and if we can do something privately, we will be private." ” "This is the evil capitalist society, let's fill our stomachs first, and then slowly criticize."
Feng Xiaogang proposed.
Everyone entered a two-story Chinese restaurant, the first floor is the hall, the second floor is the box, the hall has both four people booths, there are also round tables for many people to eat, should take care of the different living habits of Westerners and Chinese.
The waiters at the Chinese restaurant walked over, perhaps hearing their accents, and greeted them in half-baked Mandarin.
There were so many of them that they barely sat down around a round table in the hall, and the waiter handed over the menu.
"Hostess, order."
Jiang Wen took the menu and handed it to Wang Ji.
There is an important scene in the drama of Beijing people in New York that is a Chinese restaurant, and Wang Ji is the proprietress in the Chinese restaurant.
Jiang Wen said this as a joke, and Wang Ji has life experience.

Wang Ji was not polite, opened the menu, ordered according to the serving of ten people, and spoke fluent Cantonese to the waiter.
"Don't get your hopes up, you can't eat the taste of the capital here, it's all Cantonese cuisine, not authentic Cantonese cuisine, it's good to be a little interesting, it's slightly better than Western food."
After the waiter left, Wang Ji explained.
"You speak Cantonese quite slippery."
Jiang Wen said curiously.
"Speaking Cantonese, they think you are your own person, so you won't be bullied, and this is also a lot of things, so you have to learn to say a few words, and you have to know a little bit about everything when you live abroad."
Wang Ji said in a low voice.
"Life is not easy, so you can see how important it is to learn a dialect."
Feng Xiaogang sighed.
After a while, the dishes were ready, they didn't ask for wine, and everyone began to eat.
"I think we'll cook our own meals in the future."
After a while, someone suggested.
The Chinese people of this era are used to being diligent and thrifty, just now everyone looked at the menu, a dish costs several dollars, too expensive, if it is delicious, it is nothing, the key is that it is so difficult to swallow, too sweet and greasy, not in line with the taste of the people in Beijing.
Lin Zixuan has been in Huacheng for more than a month, but he is still not used to it.
"Okay, let's buy vegetables and cook them ourselves in the future."
Lin Zixuan said in a good manner.
As a producer, if you can save money, you naturally have to save, anyway, for the time being, there are only a few of them, do it yourself, have enough food and clothing, even if they come to the United States, the revolutionary tradition cannot be lost. t1706231537:
