Rumble, rumble, rumble, rumble—
A series of thunderous roars of helicopters echoed through the New York night sky, where the dark night was lit up like day by the dazzling lights of buildings; the area around the Brooklyn Bridge was abuzz with noise, not just from the usual traffic, but also because the filming of a movie had turned the shoreline and East River ferry terminal into a bustling market.
"Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz..." Thousands of extras crowded the filming area. Even before filming had started, they were playing on their phones or chatting and laughing in small groups. A few young girls excitedly discussed among themselves, "I just saw Wang Yang, I called out to him, and he smiled at me." "Really? That's awesome!" "Do you think I'll get a close-up shot?" "I can't wait to see myself on the big screen!"... There was no atmosphere of escape; instead, it felt like a grand party was being held.
