I became famous in the entertainment industry by burning incense

Chapter 424: Cruel and ruthless, cutting off the lineage

Jinli received the message from Sister Fang, and before she had time to think about it for long, she was taken to rehearsal.

We had rehearsed several times yesterday, and this time we added lighting effects, so the rehearsal was not difficult.

Jinli's problem now is not dancing, but singing.

So as soon as the rehearsal was over, Xi Mengze pulled her over to practice her breathing.

Can singing be learned quickly?

Singing can really be learned quickly.

Of course, if you want to change a singer's long-term vocalization method, it is still very difficult and requires a long-term struggle.

But Jinli didn't want a complete change, just a quick success in that one song.

Under Xi Mengze's arrangement, Jinli's performance was greatly improved by conducting targeted exercises on the intonation, melody and rhythm of "Fated to Fall in Love with You".

And this is a live concert.

There is a lot of noise at the scene, and the audience is disturbed by various things. They will focus a lot of their attention on vision, thus ignoring some auditory imperfections of the song.

Jinli is not going to sing in a quiet and empty concert hall, and the audience will not be too picky, so Xi Mengze is still very confident that Jinli can become a master in one day.

Jinli finally passed Xi Mengze's request, and it was already noon. She felt that time waited for no one.

Whether you are doing exercises or doing things, time will pass quickly.

She also got a box lunch from March Sky that cost over a thousand yuan, and Xi Mengze joined her.

I had lunch with them in March and felt my appetite improved a lot.

Jinli had no one to dine with yesterday, so she lacked the opportunity to perform. This time, Mengmeng was there, and the two of them praised how delicious the lunch box worth thousands of yuan was.

They praised the boxed lunch as a delicacy and a rare treasure, and they would feel sorry for their stomach if they didn't eat a little more.

Influenced by this atmosphere, Marchtian finished all the lunch boxes that had some left.

Then the fitness coach saw their weight and announced that they would do an extra set of exercises in the evening.

Marchday: ...

After finishing lunch at noon, Jinli found some time to call Sui Lingfang and ask what conditions the other three brands that agreed to her request had put forward.

Sui Lingfang said in a puzzled tone: "There are no conditions. The person in charge didn't even call us to reply. He just replied OK to the email we sent."

She smiled and said: "When I saw their brief reply, I thought for a moment that I had sent the wrong email, so I checked the email again and found that we had not sent it to the wrong person."

Jinli was also very curious: "Other brands are making trouble and want me to give in. I think this is normal. The requirements I put forward are indeed very different from those put forward by other stars in the industry.

But they didn't make a fuss. Instead, I was curious about what they were thinking. Could it be that what they understood was different from what we expressed?"

Sui Lingfang said: "I was very worried that they might have misunderstood the letter, so I passed it to other colleagues to have a look, and finally came to a conclusion:
The requirements and intentions we expressed in the letter were very clear, and the brand understood everything at a glance, so there was nothing to ask.”

Jinli said with great interest: "They agreed so quickly, they must have made a lot of preparations and plans, and they are also very confident in their own competing products. I am now looking forward to their joint products."

Sui Lingfang: "I am also looking forward to it. I can only satisfy my curiosity through the samples they submitted. They will send the samples to me next week, and I will send a copy to your crew then."

Jinli: "Okay."

She thought for a while, mentioned Ye Weijie, and told her that Director Ye would come over to show her the photos.

Sui Lingfang knew about this.

Ye Weijie had just finished talking to Jinli on the phone, and he called her right after that and told her something.

It was just looking at the photos and talking about the filming locations. As long as it didn't disturb Jinli's arrangements, there would be no problem on her side.

Sui Lingfang sighed and said, “I think the longer we delay the location decision, the more uncertain it will be.

At first, the news did not spread widely, and only some well-informed people passed on the filming locations.

But as time went on, many places also got wind of the situation, and relevant departments called Ye Weijie every day, asking him to support the local townships. "

There were too many people asking questions, and there were many concerns about deciding on a filming location.

"You don't know, Ye Weijie called me a few days ago and said that some local departments gave him a gift, a box full of cash, in order to set the filming location in the local area. When he saw it, he turned around and ran away. He was scared."

Sui Lingfang chuckled, "I told him that this is just the beginning, and asked him to quickly decide on the filming location, otherwise more and more people will try to use connections. If money doesn't work, they might even resort to the honey trap!"

Jinli listened to it as if she were listening to a novel, and felt that Ye Weijie's experience was even more interesting than the novel.

She didn't feel any guilt at all for being the culprit.

If she hadn't announced that she would join the show, the show wouldn't have gone from being an unknown to a hot hit.

Sui Lingfang specifically reminded her: "Those people don't know the relationship between you and Ye Weijie, and they think that this film is led by Ye Weijie and he can take the initiative to make the final decision.

But you participated in the investment of "My Life of Mediocre and Insignificant", and Ye Weijie left you a considerable share of the investment, which will definitely be noticed by interested people.

If they can't get through Ye Weijie, they might come to find you. You should leave as soon as you finish the concert and don't stay outside for too long."

Jinli heard this and sighed.

"Why spend so much money? The original purpose of choosing the filming location was to increase local cultural tourism consumption and generate income for the local area. Because of those people's manipulation, the income has not been generated yet, but we have to pay a sum of money first."

Sui Lingfang sighed: "It's so poor. Some places are really afraid of being poor. They are so poor! As long as there is an opportunity, they want to grab it with all their strength!"

Others give gifts because they want to take things a step further.

These people give gifts in order to boost the local economy.

One is for personal gain, the other is for public benefit. Sui Lingfang also has complicated feelings.

"So the filming location has to be decided as soon as possible!"
-
In the afternoon, Jinli did not go on stage for rehearsal, but found a meeting room in the hotel and continued to practice breathing under the guidance of Xi Mengze.

At around three o'clock, Ye Weijie finally arrived at the hotel with an assistant.

Jinli was not at the concert venue, so Ye Weijie came to the hotel instead.

Unexpectedly, getting into the hotel was more troublesome than going to the venue, and I was stopped several times along the way.

If Chen Qin hadn't come down to pick them up and let them go through the process in their car, Ye Weijie and the others wouldn't have known how long it would take to get to the hotel.

Jinli was shocked when she saw Ye Weijie and almost thought she had recognized the wrong person!

A few months ago, Director Ye was still a young man in the prime of his life and somewhat handsome. How come he has now turned into a haggard middle-aged man who looks like he just came back from digging coal in Africa?
His head was shaved bald, but his beard was not shaved, making him look very weathered.

"Director Ye, what are you doing..." Jinli looked at Ye Weijie from head to toe, with an indescribable expression.

Ye Weijie sighed heavily: "I got darker and thinner. There was nothing I could do. Many of the filming locations were in the mountains. I was running non-stop and before I knew it I became darker and thinner."

"I used to think about losing weight, but now it's too late to gain weight!"

Jinli asked: "Why did you grow a beard? You look 20 or 30 years older."

Ye Weijie: "It's good to be old. I look older, so people won't mistake me for a young man when they see me. Jinli, let me tell you, after I grew a beard, the people who came to me became more sincere in their words."

Jinli sighed: "It's not easy for you!"

Ye Weijie smiled and said, "But being busy is better than not being busy. I had to be a grandson before in order to attract investment. I don't want to go through these things again."

Only after becoming a grandson, you will understand what it means to "cry to the sky but get no response, cry to the earth but get no help, seek help but find no way out"!
Ye Weijie saw Xi Mengze and knew that Jinli came here for something important. He didn't dare to waste her time and quickly took out a large stack of photos from his bag.

These are his favorite filming locations.

Jinli first looked through the photos. From the photos, the scenery in every place was very beautiful, and there were many houses with local characteristics.

But she thought of the plot in the script and asked doubtfully: "Director, the location is so beautiful, how can we develop it?"

Ye Weijie was stunned for a moment, then replied, "Think of a way to publicize it."

Jinli shook her head: "I mean the plot in the script. There are many plots about the local transformation, which are all to show the creative ideas and dedication of the college student village officials.

But these scenes are beautiful, so beautiful that people can see them at a glance. Instead, they are not challenging. They just lack an opportunity for publicity. These places do not lack development potential at all. "

Ye Weijie thought for a moment and patted his forehead with his hand, “This is my fault!”

“I just thought that the location should be beautiful, so that filming the subsequent developments would save a lot of trouble and could be better integrated with publicity, but I didn’t think about the difficulty of filming.”

Xi Mengze listened silently and raised his hand to speak: "From what I heard from you, your script is to develop a backward village under the leadership of college student village officials.

But when I look at these photos, I feel that these places are already very mature, and each has its own beauty. What these places lack is not development, but a window for people to see. They don’t need to spend a lot of effort on transformation, right? ”

Ye Weijie couldn't help but nodded.

Those involved are often confused, while bystanders can see things more clearly. He was stunned by these beautiful filming locations!

Ye Weijie couldn't help but ask: "Then I should find a village that has not been developed at all and transform it?"

Jinli shook her head: "It's not realistic to renovate the whole place, it's too difficult, we still have to find some unique scenery.

It would be best if the locals didn’t care and didn’t think the scenery was worth traveling to, so that the filming would have a sense of comedy.”

When Ye Weijie heard her say this, an idea flashed in his mind.

"I actually have a place here where the local residents don't care at all. They see me lying on the ground taking pictures and come over to watch and laugh. They ask me what I'm doing and say what's so good about these things... I'll show you how to do it."

He took out a bag of photos from the bottom of his bag. He put each photo of the shooting location in a separate transparent bag and labeled the bag for record.

Jinli took it out and looked at it, and became interested.

"The trees here are very peculiar. They are all hundreds of years old and have twisted roots. It would be very interesting if they were used as a location for a horror movie."

Xi Mengze also took one of the photos and said, "There are actually nine ponds. Are they Feng Shui ponds? The village is backed by a mountain and has nine ponds. There are also arch bridges and ancient villages built with earth and stone."

Jinli leaned over to take a look and frowned slightly, "Why is there no water in this pond?"

Ye Weijie stood over to look, and instantly recalled something, frowning and said: "I don't know, and this pond is a private pond, no one is allowed to take pictures.

I spent a lot of effort to climb over the wall and get in, avoiding the guards who secretly took the photo. "

"A private pond?"

Xi Mengze stitched together the photos he took of the ponds, and it can be seen that the nine ponds are arranged in an upper, middle and lower arrangement, with three on the top, three in the middle and three on the bottom.

The houses in the village are built around nine ponds.

"Why do I feel like the houses in the village are built around the pond, so the one in the middle becomes private?"

Ye Weijie said: “The location that the local department invited me to see was not this village, but the village next to Chitang Village.

I heard from the people in that village that the neighboring Chitang Village was quite famous in ancient times and even produced a top scholar in the Ming Dynasty. I just don't know why it has become increasingly declining.

I thought it didn’t matter if I took photos of one place or two, so I went to Chitang Village to take a look. I found that it really had ancient charm and characteristics, and the layout of the buildings was very unique. ”

He paused, recalling what the villagers said at the time, and said, "The pond in the middle was bought by a wealthy family, who then built a courtyard next to the pond and incorporated the pond into the house. It is not open to the public at all."

"It was only through aerial photography that I discovered that there was no water in this pond. I specifically asked the village chief, and he was also puzzled. He didn't know why there was no water in the pond. He said that these nine ponds are connected and it is impossible for them to be empty."

"Aerial photography doesn't give very clear pictures, so I quietly climbed over the wall to take some pictures. I found that there was really no water inside, but the surrounding land was very wet. It must have been deliberately drained by someone."

Jinli suddenly asked: "Who is the guard you just mentioned?"

Ye Weijie: "The house is not often inhabited, so we hired several guards to look after it. One of the guards is specifically responsible for looking after the pond. I don't know what's so good about an empty pond."

Jinli shook her head. "According to the layout of the village, if this pond is empty, it will have a great impact on the local Feng Shui."

She looked slightly stiff and said, "Because I didn't observe it on the spot, I only saw the photos, so my judgment is not accurate.

The pond in the middle has the best feng shui and should be protected separately. It is the most eye-catching place in feng shui.

But that family not only took it for themselves, they also drained the water in the middle, cutting off the Feng Shui of the entire village. Over time, the Feng Shui of the entire village was concentrated on that family!"

Taking it for oneself is not a serious matter, it will just make the family in the middle more prosperous than the others.

But deliberately hollowing out the pond and releasing water would have a huge impact.

The accumulated feng shui fortune could not circulate to the entire village through the nine ponds, but instead was concentrated in the middle pond. The wealthy family in that pond occupied the feng shui of the entire village.

In the past, this would be considered a cruel and brutal act that would leave one without any descendants.
