ideas on your idea
Oh, I thought of something like that too. Let's see.. I think maybe the same exact story, told by us in our two different countries. But we should edit it together... for sure we are gonna need to see each others' footage before editing. It's only gonna make sense like that, i guess. Let's think themes first. Something that works in both places but is also extremely different in china and sweden. ideas?
PIGGY FLU now hits 中国! 哎呀!
I almost forgot! First case of piggy flu here in China, a man in Sichuan. Should I buy a mask? And, how good am I gonna look? The future - and future posts - will tell.xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Guess who said this:
- Swine flu is super trendy.
I'll tell you if you're hot or cold. Or both.
p.s.: how cute is this pig!
PIGGY FLU
Oh, I'll discuss your ideas in the next post, sweetie. But I saw some disturbing news just now and I NEED to address them.
Brazil's largest TV network, Globo (also known as the devil), has of now stopped calling the swine flu by its rightful name. It is now the "new flu" or "influenza A" or "H1N1". Like.. are you kidding me, globo???
Helloooo, it's swine flu. SWINE FLU. Yeah, it reminds people of pigs, sorry. Deal with it. (meat industry in brazil sorta OWNS the media) HÁ. My chinese tutor calls it "the piggy flu". I looouuuve it.
Anyway, if my mom calls me next time and talks about "h1n1", I'm gonna be like "nooooo, mooooom, it's called PIGGY FLU. PIGGY. PIGGY. PIGGY FLU".
p.s.: Sorry, sweetie. I know we are not political here. But it's just so ridiculous that it's kinda funny.
idea #2
What do you think of this. We write a script, we suck at scripts I know but anywho, and then we do the whole alternate thing again. So we have two sets of actors, playing the same parts.
Ok now that I'm writing it it sounds kind of stupid and confusing I just got excited thinking the story would be the only fixed thing and the environment and the actors would be sometimes in China and sometimes here.

Things I miss/I have an idea.
The fact that there's a giant continent between us is has been a problem when it comes to our film production. But maybe we should just ignore that and make films anyway.
I was thinking if you or I start by making a clip (we have to have a strict time limit, maybe 30 or 60 sec?) send it to the other without explaining anything about the thoughts behind it and the other person picks up where the other one left off and so on and so on. Could be fun and it kind of eliminates the whole painful process of editing. We should decide though whether one is allowed to edit one's own part or if it should be one 30 second take. What do you think?

funny presidents #1
Obama is funny now I guess. CNN:
As the world shakes off swine flu fears that started in Mexico, Obama noted his old rivalry with former Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton, who now serves as secretary of state.
"We had been rivals during the campaign, but these days we could not be closer," the president said. "In fact, the second she got back from Mexico, she pulled me into a hug and gave me a big kiss -- told me to get down there myself."
Oh, no. They are making fun of her now, Lihai. Don't let them. Not the lady with-more-brains-and- cojones-than-her-former-president-leader-of-the-free-world (crap!)-husband
She'd do a movie with us, you know. I'm sure:
