Chapter 436 Giving up is also an option; Director Ye’s strong execution ability
Ye Weijie rushed to Chitang Village overnight, and when he arrived he found that the village chief was holding a loud speaker and convening a villagers' meeting.

The meeting was almost over, and when he arrived he happened to hear villagers shouting slogans.

"Achieve common prosperity! Achieve collective prosperity!"

"Attract investment! Film a TV series! Develop the tourism industry!"

"No one can stop our determination to make progress!"

After listening to this, Ye Weijie silently gave a thumbs up and exclaimed: "What a conscious person! With such conscious villagers, Chitang Village will surely prosper!"

The screenwriter and another Feng Shui master remained silent. If you didn't know that they were shouting slogans in order to develop the village into a tourist village, you would have thought it was some kind of pyramid scheme.

After the meeting with the villagers, the village chief was still in good spirits and received Ye Weijie, as if he wanted to talk to him all night long.

In the end, it was Ye Weijie who couldn't hold on any longer and asked to rest. The village chief reluctantly let go of his hand and made an agreement with him:
"Let's continue our discussion tomorrow. I'm very interested in developing our village into a tourist village. It's you young people who have to come up with ideas."

Ye Weijie agreed immediately: "No problem."

Developing Chitang Village into a tourist village does not conflict with using Chitang Village as a filming location. Instead, it kills two birds with one stone and boosts the local economy.
-
It was the next day that Jinli heard about Ye Weijie's heroic act of entering Chitang Village overnight.

When she saw the text message from Ye Weijie, she fell into silence.

She felt that perhaps she should remind Ye Weijie in advance, otherwise, given the extent of his trouble-making, he might not survive until tomorrow.

Jinli made a special call to Ye Weijie and said bluntly: "Director Ye, please pay attention to your own safety."

Ye Weijie was stunned for a moment, and immediately asked: "Did you sense anything?"

Jinli: "No, I just think that as the initiator of the filming location, you might be targeted by someone with ulterior motives, so I want you to be more careful."

Ye Weijie said cautiously: "I specially invited a Taoist priest who knows Feng Shui. Do you think he can be useful?"

Jinli: ???
"A Taoist priest who knows Feng Shui?" Jinli was stunned.

Jinli was stunned, and Ye Weijie was stunned, "Didn't you remind me to find a master who knows Feng Shui? I like Taoist priests, so I'll find a Taoist priest who knows Feng Shui."

After Ye Weijie finished speaking, Jinli continued to be confused, "When did I say that?"

Ye Weijie: "Emm, you are saying it implicitly? It can only be understood but not expressed in words? Isn't that what you wanted to express before?"

Jinli's eyes were blank, and she began to wonder if the way she spoke was wrong, how could Ye Weijie understand that she should find a Feng Shui master.

It seemed that she only talked about the feng shui problem of Chitang Village.

But Jinli changed her mind and thought that it was a good thing that Ye Weijie found a Feng Shui master. Maybe there would be a chance to reveal the secret of Feng Shui in Chitang Village.

Jinli was afraid that Ye Weijie had misunderstood this time, so she said bluntly: "You also found a Feng Shui master, so you should pay more attention to your own safety.

You are only looking for a Feng Shui master to protect yourself, but there is no guarantee that others will think you are here to mess things up. Cutting off someone's financial resources is like killing their parents. You can imagine the consequences of a conflict better than I can."

Ye Weijie originally thought that just hiring a Feng Shui master would be enough to ensure his safety, but now he suddenly feels that he needs a hundred or eighty bodyguards to feel at ease.

"Jinli!" A staff member called her, and Jinli hung up the phone first.

Jinli confirmed tomorrow's scenes with the crew and continued with shooting training.

When training seriously, the saying "get twice the result with half the effort" comes into effect again and the shooting training effect is very significant.

In terms of psychological quality, Jinli is impeccable and excellent.

When she was filming on the set in the past, no matter how noisy it was, she was always able to calm down and study.

"Getting twice the result with half the effort" allowed her shooting skills to soar rapidly. With increasingly proficient skills, her shooting scores also increased.

Although pistols are used in the show, the techniques taught by the trainers are more like the air rifles used in shooting competitions.

Therefore, Jinli's training also uses rings to show the results.

When Jinli shot the 10th ring for the second time, the trainer no longer thought it was a coincidence.

She couldn't help but turn her head to look at Jinli, and seeing Jinli's delicate and small profile, she couldn't help feeling regretful:
"How can she be a female star with such excellent shooting talent?"

The trainer had already told the director in advance that Jinli's current shooting skills were fully capable of supporting filming.

After Jinli finished training, the trainer hesitated for a long time, approached Jinli and asked, "Are you interested in participating in the shooting competition?"

Jinli: ...

No need to, thank you.

Looking at the trainer's eager eyes, Jinli shook her head and refused.

"I am not interested in any shooting. If the crew hadn't asked me to do it, I might not have touched shooting at all. Moreover, the crew's training equipment is limited. My good performance in the crew does not mean that I can perform well in other places.

In the crew, I was very relaxed. The results would not affect my interpretation of the plot, but when I really participate in the competition, I can’t say for sure.”

Jinli knew that with her ability to "get twice the result with half the effort", it would be easy to max out a skill.

But that's just for show.

It looks powerful on the surface, but actually has many shortcomings.

If you want to hone a skill to the highest level, you need to go through rigorous training, endure the boredom that ordinary people cannot stand, and persist day after day.

Even if you have the ability to "get twice the result with half the effort", it only means reducing your daily training a little bit. But if you want to reach the top, you will definitely need to put in a lot of sweat.

To be honest, among all the leaders who have reached the top of their industry, who doesn’t have talents related to their industry?
There are so many people graduating from major film academies every year. Who doesn’t have some talent for acting?

But how many of them can really make it?

What is scary is not the genius, but the genius who works harder than you!

Jinli never thought that she could challenge the limits of every profession by relying on her ability to "get twice the result with half the effort". That was arrogance towards her own abilities and contempt for those who trained day and night.

After rejecting an opportunity, Jinli felt relieved and her mind became more open.

She had thought about it before, she drew the golden finger of "getting twice the result with half the effort", maybe her master wanted her to do something big.

But now she suddenly felt that among all the living beings, using her own abilities to live a good life was also a great thing. Jinli's eyes flashed with a thoughtful look, "Born small, but great..."

This theme was filmed before when recording "Leisurely Slow Life". Jinli just performed it according to other people's ideas. She had some feelings during the filming, but not much.

But after giving up the shooting competition, she had a deeper understanding of her choices and life.
-
The opinions of the Provincial Tourism Department were conveyed to the relevant cities. When the Municipal Tourism Bureau saw that Chitang Village was chosen as the filming location for "My Life of Mediocreness", many people were surprised.

"Pond Village, where is this village? I've never heard of it before!"

“It had not appeared on the recommended list before. It is not a well-known tourist attraction in the city, nor is it a poor village that needs special assistance.”

"It seems that it was a neighboring county of the recommended county, so the director went to investigate together. In the end, he was attracted by the unique scenery of Chitang Village and thought it was more suitable for filming TV series."

Some people saw the words "Chitang Village" and their eyes flickered. They asked, "Since Chitang Village has been chosen as the filming location, will it be transformed into a tourist attraction in the future?"

Others said without hesitation: "Of course!"

"Not all counties can become tourist attractions. No matter how elaborately the scenery is arranged, it cannot be operated without people. But Chitang Village is different. After appearing on TV, there must be many Jinli fans who come to check in every year!"

"Yes, Jinli is going to act in this movie. Which movie that Jinli acts in is not a hit?"

Some people began to envy Chitang Village's good fortune. "Maybe this village can make some contribution to the city's economy?"

It was rare for the Municipal Tourism Bureau to have a county town chosen as a filming location, so everyone was very excited and put forward many ideas.

Some people said that the road should be built first to avoid inconvenience for tourists to travel by car; others said that the neighboring counties should also be renovated and special projects should be developed to attract tourists; some people said that funds should be allocated because they are worried that Chitang Village and other counties do not have the money to develop...

The Municipal Tourism Bureau excitedly discussed the issue for the entire morning. After the meeting ended at noon, one person returned home and made a special phone call.

"Old Qi, let me first say congratulations, your village is going to be prosperous!"

Qi Zhihong was a little confused after hearing this, "What did you say?"

The man repeated it again, saying earnestly, "Your village has been chosen as the filming location for the TV series My Life of Mediocre and Inaction. Do you know this TV series?"

Qi Zhihong still didn't understand: "What kind of TV series is this? Why would they choose Chitang Village when there are so many other places to choose from?"

"Jinli is about to star in a TV series. This TV series has a good theme and a good idea. It can help poor villages transform into tourist villages, bring wealth to the villagers, and bring economic benefits to the city!"

"Let me tell you, this is a great thing. The city is very fond of this project. Our city has many beautiful scenery and many special snacks, but we have not been able to promote them. Why is that? Because there is no one!"

Qi Zhihong finally reacted and said with a somewhat stiff expression: "Mr. Li, Chitang Village is not a poor village. Why don't you leave this opportunity to a village that needs it more?"

Mr. Li didn't hear the stiffness in his words and said enviously, "You think the city doesn't want to promote poor villages, but the director took a fancy to your Chitang Village, saying that your Chitang Village has nine ponds, a special geographical environment, and the ancient trees, streets, and villages are very unique, so it was named Chitang Village!"

"Lao Qi, you must seize this opportunity. The villagers will definitely thank you. Let me tell you something first. You can leak it to the villagers in advance and do a good job of ideological work on them..."

Qi Zhihong didn't hear a word of what was said afterwards. He had only one thought in his mind:
"We must not let Chi Pond Village become a filming location! Chi Pond Village must not become wealthy!"

At the beginning, my uncle did a feng shui survey for their family and visited many places. Finally, they decided on Chitang Village because they liked the nine ponds in the village.

It is said that these nine ponds are the village's wealth ponds. In the past, there must have been an expert who gave advice and placed the nine ponds precisely on the feng shui veins.

As long as their family can occupy the pond in the middle and drain the water inside, they can gain countless wealth.

When his uncle did feng shui for their family, he was only ten years old.

After my uncle finished speaking, he vomited blood several times, and his breath was barely there. He died within three days. This scene was deeply imprinted in his mind, and he remembered it forever.

He is retired now, but Qi Zhihong can still recall the words his uncle said after he vomited blood, and the scenes in his mind are replayed as if it happened yesterday.

"You can only occupy the pond for fifty years. After fifty years you must stop and return the wealth to the village."

"If you can't do this, then you should never let the Pond Village prosper. Once it prospers, the water in the middle pond will not be able to be drained, and you will also face great disasters and catastrophes!"

After my uncle finished speaking, he vomited blood and died.

This scene frightened the whole family, and his mother cried until she fainted. She kept saying for the next few days that she was the one who harmed her brother.

Later, Qi Zhihong learned that his uncle had the opportunity when he was a child to worship a wandering Taoist priest as his teacher. The Taoist priest taught him some skills in fortune-telling and geomancy.

Later, the old Taoist priest passed away, and my uncle returned to the village and became the village fortune teller.

My uncle once told his family that his fortune-telling skills were average, and he was only good at geomancy and feng shui, so his mother later thought of asking my uncle to look at Feng Shui.

In the past, the family was very poor and every household was so poor that they could not afford to eat. It was said that he had two older sisters who all died because of famine.

Later, his mother gave birth to him with great difficulty, and the whole family gave him all the delicious food so that he would not starve.

At the beginning, their family settled in Chitang Village. They took a lot of effort to build a house on the edge of the middle pond. Following the method given by their uncle, their family soon became rich.

As their business grew and their wealth increased, their family made some plans and finally occupied the pond in the middle.

As for the so-called stopping after fifty years?
That's impossible.

The benefits are endless and no one can resist the temptation of wealth.

Qi Zhihong was extremely panicked. He didn't know what he was thinking about, so he quickly made a phone call.

He wants to ask people to go back to the village!

He wants to incite the villagers to refuse!

He will not let Chi Pond Village be the filming location. Chi Pond Village will never become prosperous!
At this time in Chitang Village, the village chief held another mobilization meeting.

But this time it was not the village chief who mobilized them, but Ye Weijie.

The village chief said to the villagers: "Don't underestimate Director Ye. If it weren't for his keen eye and discovery of the beauty of our Chitang Village, we don't know how long our village would have been buried.

Let's listen carefully to what Director Ye has to say. He is very familiar with various assistance policies. If you have any questions, feel free to ask him..."

The screenwriter gently nudged Ye Weijie and whispered, "When did you learn about the various assistance policies? Did you make up for it?"

Ye Weijie trembled, but his expression was calm. He said in an unfathomable tone:
"I suddenly had a premonition this morning, so I made up for it by studying the township assistance strategy in the Qiangguo APP. How is it?"

The screenwriter gave him a thumbs up, and even the Taoist priest next to him couldn't help but nodded at him. This man's ability to take action is first-rate!
