Unlike China, where there are four distinct seasons, with severe cold and scorching heat, Thailand has only three seasons: cool, hot and hot.
The cool season is a relatively suitable season, but it lasts for a short period of time, from December of the previous year to March of the following year.
As for the temperature in the cool season, it is similar to the temperature in early summer in June and July in China.
Therefore, the climate of the remaining two seasons can be imagined.
In April and May, although it has entered spring, it is still somewhat cold.
Especially at both ends in the morning and evening, if you don't add a jacket outside, you can still feel the slightest coolness drilling into your body.
Mu Ming had been to Thailand once in her previous life, so she deliberately chose a very thin coat.
But even so, once the immigration security check is passed, the airport air conditioning is not so powerful, and the skin is still covered with a thin layer of sweat in an instant.
I was not in a hurry to get my luggage, so I went to the bathroom at the airport first, changed into a T-shirt, shorts, and flip-flops in my bag, and then went to find my luggage.
"You're not going to tell me you're wearing this plane in Keihoku, are you?"
Chen Zhixi, who came to pick up people at the airport, looked at Mu Ming, who had completely integrated into the local area from his clothes, and asked funny.
The relevant procedures in China are easy to approve, but if no one is watching the procedures in Thailand, it is estimated that "Thai Embarrassment" may not be able to start in October.
Therefore, Chen Zhixi and Xu Zheng came to Thailand early.
Xu Zheng is responsible for surveying the location and determining the shooting location that needs to be used; Chen Zhixi is responsible for supervising the Thai government departments so that they can contact each other in a timely manner if there is any news.
Not only the two of them, but the production teams of Perfect Film and Television, Shuimu Studio, and Chen Zhixi are basically ready.
They will also come in the order of visas.
The production team is ready to leave, and Mu Ming, the producer and producer, of course, has to take the first step.
"How can this Bangkok also be the capital of a country, how can it feel so far worse than Jingbei."
Driving back to the hotel, Mu Ming entered the room and sighed while packing her luggage.
Originally, Hua Yan was supposed to come with him, but she didn't expect to make a lot of calculations, and forgot to ask the assistant to apply for a passport in advance.
This will apply for a passport, and the time will be much longer than a few years later, so Mu Ming didn't wait for her, and came over first.
"What you said, there are a few cities in the world that can compare with Jingbei."
Chen Zhixi laughed: "In the Asian financial crisis in 98, Thailand suffered the most, and it has not been relieved yet."
Don't be too demanding. ” Mu Ming spread his hands, and he remembered a joke that the tour guide had told them when he came to Thailand in his previous life.
At that time, the tour guide asked a carload of people in the car, who had been to Thailand 20 years ago, and a few uncles raised their hands.
The tour guide then said, "If you had been in Thailand ten years ago, you would have found that Thailand has not changed much from 20 years ago. ” Because I went to Pattaya at the time, Mu Ming thought that the tour guide was joking.
Unexpectedly, he found out on the way this time that even Bangkok, as the capital, always gave him a feeling of the last century.
"By the way, this is the planning book for the crew's schedule, you can take a look."
Chen Zhixi placed a thick stack of papers on the table.
"Nearly a quarter of them are still unaudited.
The Thai Film Bureau does not do anything at all, and any project has to wait for the approval of the tourism board.
Chen Zhixi complained dissatisfiedly, obviously complaining about the processing speed of the relevant parties in Thailand for a long time.
Actually, I don't blame her.
Government employees in Thailand usually do not work overtime and leave when they arrive; There is no overtime on weekends, and no matter how urgent things are, you have to wait for Monday; When it comes to the review of foreign crews, the Film Bureau is only responsible for the central liaison, and the approval of the heads of multiple departments of the Tourism Bureau and the Cultural Affairs Bureau is required to make the calculation......
Some time ago, with Xu Zheng and the crew in charge of the preliminary preparations, everyone was busy, so I didn't feel anything yet.
Today, when I saw Mu Ming, who had just come over with a good swim, Chen Zhixi's complaints couldn't stop.
"Wow, blahh—" Fortunately, the knock on the door interrupted Chen Zhixi's complaint, Mu Ming hurriedly opened the door, and a bald head shook into Mu Ming's field of vision, isn't it Xu Zheng.
"Brother Xu!"
"It's coming."
After saying hello, Mu Ming let Xu Zheng into the house.
Seeing the documents on the table, Xu Zheng waved his hand: "Zhixi, you are really good, Mu Ming has just arrived, and you will let the family start working."
Okay, don't be busy with these things yet, and have a meal together for a while, and you can treat it as a catch for Mu Ming. ” "It's okay, it's time for a day off."
Chen Zhixi didn't have an opinion, nodded in agreement.
"Mu Ming, what do you want to eat, let Brother Xu please invite our big investor."
"Otherwise, let's eat Thai food."

Mu Ming suggested.
"Nonsense, I came all the way to Thailand, why if I eat Chinese food?"
Xu Zheng said: "Okay, I'll arrange it, so you don't have to worry about it." ” Mu Ming arrived in the afternoon, so this meal is considered dinner.
Xu Zheng booked a private room in a hotel that he knew that tasted good, after all, there were not a few people.
In addition to Mu Ming, Chen Zhixi and himself, there are also assistant directors, directors and several staff members of the crew.
When I was in China before, Mu Ming had seen it a few times, and she was quite familiar, so the atmosphere at the table was quite warm.
The banquet was in full swing, Xu Zheng picked up the wine glass and said to Mu Ming seriously: "Mu Ming, thank you very much."
Zhixi is right, without you, a big investor, I don't know when this movie will be completed.
I salute you for this wine. ” Mu Ming smiled and picked up the cup: "Brother Xu, you are polite, the main reason is that our project of "Thai Embarrassment" is very good, and I think it is profitable, so I will invest."
And when it comes to the completion of the movie, we all have to thank you for convincing Brother Bo to squeeze out the schedule. ” Huang Bo finally agreed to the role of Gao Bo, but in his words, he was really annoyed by Xu Zheng.
However, the scene on his side still has to be filmed, so there is no way to start the film with the whole crew.
The last starring role was confirmed, and the related work of Perfect Film and Television and Shuimu Studio also began.
The estimated total production cost of "Thai Embarrassment" is 45 million.
Although Mu Ming said before that Mizuki can be responsible for an investment of 20 million, Perfect Film and Television, as the main producer, will not allow an investor with a larger investment proportion.
So in the end, the parties discussed for a long time and finally came up with a final investment plan.
As the main producer, Perfect Film and Television invested 17 million, accounting for 37% of the total investment; Shuimu Film and Television invested 15 million, accounting for 33% of the total investment; Chen Zhixi personally, with an investment of 5 million, accounting for 11%; Xu Zheng invested in the remuneration of the director and the leading actor, totaling 5 million, accounting for 11%; Huang Bo invests in the starring salary, totaling 2 million, accounting for 5%.
The three leading actors, Xu Zheng and Huang Bo, all gave up their salaries and invested in shares.
Wang Baoqiang also wanted to invest with a salary, but after thinking about it again, he gave up.
After all, if the salary of two or three million is counted as an investment, the final box office must be close to 300 million to get so much.
The box office of the first part of "People in Embarrassment" has not yet broken 100 million, even if the film has a good evaluation, no one dares to guarantee what the actual situation will be.
Because it was mainly filmed in Thailand, and the investment of 40 or 50 million yuan was considered a big production, Xu Zheng held a start-up ceremony in Thailand.
Although the distance is long, there are still many domestic media who come to cover the news.
After all, Xu Zheng, Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang's popularity and popularity in the mainland are quite good, and this "Thai Embarrassment" is a sequel to the previously widely acclaimed "People in Embarrassment", and it is the first time Xu Zheng has served as a director, which is quite newsworthy.
On May 12, at the gate of Chiang Mai Town, Thailand, Xu Zheng lifted the red cloth covering the camera, and "Thai Embarrassment" was officially launched.
