I became famous in the entertainment industry by burning incense

Chapter 437 Unity is strength
When Qi Zhihong arrived, Ye Weijie had already given a round of lectures in the village.

He listed the benefits of the village becoming a tourist village. The village will no longer be full of elderly people, young people will come back to start businesses, and children will not have to become left-behind children in the village.

With more young people, the village will become younger, and there will be great potential for various catering industries.

Ye Weijie specifically cited the example of the 8D Magic City Mountain City, saying that the tourism industry in the mountain city has developed very well and has become a pillar industry of the mountain city, and trains can even shuttle through residential buildings.

The villagers were excited when they heard the first point, and nodded secretly when they heard the second point about developing the catering industry.

They are a group of old people who don’t understand the Internet. It is difficult for them to understand what it means to do live streaming, open online stores, or shoot videos.

But the restaurant industry is different.

It is generally acknowledged that the catering industry is hard, but everyone earns money through hard work, and every penny they earn is clearly visible to themselves, and they feel at ease holding the money in their hands.

Later, when Ye Weijie mentioned the mountain city as an example, the villagers were even more excited.

They know about the mountain city, and they also know that there are tourists there all year round. When talking about the mountain city, everyone knows that the streets there are magical, as if you are on the 18th floor.

One villager took the lead, and the others followed suit, shouting: "Develop tourism, upgrade and transform the industry!"

“Develop the catering industry to sell local specialties and create the characteristics of Chitang Village!”

"To achieve collective prosperity, no one should fall behind!"

Not long after Qi Zhihong arrived, he heard the slogans shouted by the villagers and felt like the sky was falling.

Who reacted so quickly?!

The city just received the notice and someone has already come to promote it?

This news must have been leaked... But that's not right. The people in the village are very ordinary and it doesn't seem like they have the ability to receive the news in advance.

As soon as Qi Zhihong appeared, the village chief saw him and waved to him to come over.

Ye Weijie and Qi Zhihong looked at each other. For some reason, Ye Weijie felt that there was murderous intent in this person's eyes!
The village chief said with a smile: "Zhihong, you are a very busy man. There just happened to be a big event in the village today. If you didn't come today, I would have called you in a few days to tell you!"

Qi Zhihong smiled and said, "Village Chief, what's the good news? It makes me happy if you tell me. My business is not busy recently, so I want to go back to Chitang Village to stay for a few days."

Village head: "It was Director Ye in front of me who chose our village as the filming location for film and television dramas. Our village can be on TV, develop tourism, and upgrade the industry!

Our village is so lucky to have such a blessing, thanks to Director Ye, he is the benefactor of our Chitang Village!"

The village chief spoke highly of Ye Weijie, and his words implied that if Ye Weijie had any problems, he could come to him and he would definitely help solve them.

Ye Weijie was also happy to make friends with the village chief. When the crew wanted to come in to shoot, they would inevitably say hello to the villagers.

Film and television dramas are based on scripts. In order to make Chi Pond Village more in line with the script, he will definitely make some changes to Chi Pond Village.

Although this renovation is not a large-scale renovation, it is just a detail treatment and some places will be repaired.

It’s easy to deal with public areas, after all, the land is used by everyone, so it can be changed as long as it doesn’t affect travel.

But Ye Weijie knew that some of the houses here also needed to be renovated to better suit the requirements of the script, so this required the village chief to communicate with the villagers.

It’s easier to get things done if there are people in the village.

If he encounters a rogue villager who always asks for a million yuan for house renovation, then there is no need to shoot this drama.

At night, he would find a place to lie down and pretend to be stepped on by the villagers when they weren't looking. The money he got from extortion was faster than making a movie.

Qi Zhihong looked at Ye Weijie several times, with meaningful looks in his eyes, as if he wanted to remember this person deeply in his mind.

Qi Zhihong said: "Director Xiao Ye is so young, I wonder what he likes about Chitang Village. Our Chitang Village has mountains and water and beautiful scenery, but people outside have always been unable to see it. Now it has finally been seen by others."

Ye Weijie's eyes flickered slightly. This statement needs to be understood in two parts.

You are so young, can you be reliable in doing things?

People outside cannot see the good of Chitang Village, but you can. Do you have other purposes?

Perhaps because Jinli had reminded him, Ye Weijie now felt that "there are always villains who want to harm me" no matter what he saw.

The village chief nodded repeatedly and said excitedly, "Yes, our Chitang Village has finally been noticed by others. Director Ye is indeed a man of vision!"

He looked at Qi Zhihong and said disapprovingly: "Although Director Ye is young, he can obviously accomplish great things, otherwise he would not have chosen Chitang Village immediately."

Qi Zhihong was speechless for a moment.

Soon, he put away his emotions and a smile spread across his face like a spring breeze.

"Yes, Director Xiao Ye is very capable. Under his filming, Chitang Village will definitely get better and better."

Qi Zhihong had just returned and the villa still needed to be cleaned up, so he left first.

As soon as he left, Ye Weijie immediately asked about him.

"Village chief, who is this person? I feel like he doesn't welcome me. He thinks I'm too young and incapable of accomplishing anything right after we met."

The village chief said quickly: "No, no, he definitely didn't mean that. He was just praising you for your ability as a young man. Don't think too much about it!"

The village chief was afraid that Ye Weijie would misunderstand, so he told him a lot of news about Qi Zhihong.

"This person is from another place. He came to the village 60 or 70 years ago. My father registered their household registration. This family is capable. They made a fortune outside and returned to the village to build it."

The village chief suddenly thought of something and said, "Didn't you ask me last time why the nine ponds were clearly integrated, but the pond in the middle was allocated to Qi Zhihong's family separately?"

Ye Weijie's eyes widened slightly, "Director, his family is the wealthy family that owns the pond in the middle?"

Village chief: “Yes, yes.”

"I looked through the record of the change of homestead last time. This was handled by my father. At that time, the Qi family became wealthy and returned to their hometown. They decided to build roads in the village. Every household had a cement road. The road outside was wide and smooth. It was said that it cost 500,000 yuan to build the road!"

Five hundred thousand is not worth much now, but five hundred thousand was very valuable in the past.

It was also because of the Qi family’s contribution to Chitang Village that the Qi family proposed to build a villa in the middle of the pond. The villagers hesitated for a few days and finally agreed.

The pond is still in Pond Village, it just changed from public to private, so there is no problem.

Anyway, the villagers don’t get water from the pond, so they usually just fish by the pond.

There was a famine in the past and all the fish died, even the fishermen disappeared.

In the past, the purpose of the nine ponds was just to look good, and people occasionally took water from them to irrigate their vegetable fields.

The loss of the middle one would not affect the lives of the villagers, so the village chief agreed.

Ever since Ye Weijie found out that Qi Zhihong was the wealthy family, he felt very disappointed.

No wonder he thought this person was not a good person.

It turns out that he is not a good person at all, and is so bad that he doesn't even look like a human being.

Ye Weijie wanted to take out his cell phone to see where the ten bodyguards he hired were, as he urgently needed someone to protect him.

He was panicking inside, but he had to pretend to be calm on the surface. "Village chief, this Qi Zhihong looks very young. What does he do? How come he is so rich?"

The village chief said in a cryptic manner: “They are all retired, they just look young, they have money, and they use the best of everything.

As for what he did, he said before that he went to the city to sell seafood, and later he transformed himself into a OEM processing factory. He could put a label on any product, and he got involved in everything that could make money.

In recent years, I heard that a laundry beads factory had opened and was making money by selling them.

Ye Weijie thought about it and deliberately put on an eye drop in front of the village chief.

"Laundry detergent beads are a new product launched in recent years, village chief, so I think this person is not very honest.

He can even produce laundry beads, which shows that he is a smart man. If he had this heart, he would have led the villagers to become rich long ago. Why would he worry about Chitang Village being abandoned until now? "

The village chief sighed and waved his hand: "Forget it, this is their lifeblood for making money, if you don't want to talk about it, then don't talk about it."

Ye Weijie: "That's also his fault. There were many ways to make money before, such as live streaming and selling goods, making videos to become an internet celebrity, and even live streaming singing folk songs would attract a lot of people to watch.

He is smart and if he really wants to lead the villagers of Chitang Village to become rich, he would have proposed this to you, the village chief, a long time ago, but he did nothing.

I have heard many people talk about clans in the South. When people there make money doing something, they will try every means to bring other relatives and villagers along.

They just point out a way for people, they don't clean up after people or act as babysitters. Anyway, they give you the method, and it's up to you whether you make money or not.

If you want to open a shop and join the others, you have to find ways to raise money. People won’t lend you money, so you still have to rely on yourself in the end.”

The village chief was a little surprised: "Why are those people willing to tell others about their way of making money? Shouldn't they keep it secret?"

Ye Weijie was happy.

"Cover up? How long can you cover it up? We are all from the same village. Aren't you afraid that the villagers will get jealous and come to your house to cause trouble? It's better to ease the pressure than to block it!
Moreover, China is so big, the market is very vast, how can a single company do it? Divide the business to others, and let everyone work together, and you can also dominate the market. People from the same village and clan are of the same spirit, and you can also form a business group to fight against foreign enemies together.

Only by uniting everyone's strength can we exert greater power! "

The village chief felt that what Ye Weijie said made sense, and he was worried.

The Qi family is not honest in doing things.

Alas, after all, I am just an outsider.
-
The next day, Jinli started filming in the "Dawn" crew.

Bai Jiang and Xu Ting have been doing equipment training these days. They are not in the same place as Jinli. After not competing with Jinli, the psychological pressure on both of them has been reduced a lot.

While they were still training, Jinli had already started filming.

After filming two big scenes today, Jinli's remaining scenes are basically played with the male and female protagonists, and she rarely has her own scenes.

Director Chu had already agreed with Jinli that after the filming of these two big scenes, she could leave the crew early and rejoin the crew half a month later.

Jinli hesitated a little: "Wouldn't it be a bit long to come back in half a month?"

Director Chu said: "Half a month is just an estimated date. After you finish shooting today, I will try to shoot the special effects scenes for the male and female protagonists tomorrow. I don't know how long they will need to adapt.

If they can adapt in advance and perform well, I will call you into the group in advance, but if they can't adapt well, I will call you in later. "

According to previous shooting experience, half a month of adaptation time is an average value, and most artists should be able to get started.

Thinking of this, Director Chu glanced at Jinli. It was rare to see someone who could get started as quickly as Jinli.

Jinli's adaptability is really strong!

"3, 2, 1, Action!"

Ruan Ruanruan opened her eyes and looked out the window. The sky around her was still dark. She looked at the time again. It was only two o'clock in the morning.

She frowned, her throat rolling up and down, feeling dry.

I don't know why, but I've been feeling very hot lately, as if I'm getting irritated.

But after the doomsday, no one will get this minor illness anymore. Once someone gets sick, it will be a serious illness with a high fever.

The high fever didn't go away and I was almost going crazy.

But the drinking water quota for each person in the base is very limited. If we drink up today's water now, there will be no water for today, but we still have a search mission outside.

Ruan Ruanruan struggled for a while, and finally reached out for the bottle of water.

Anyway, she had to go out and search for supplies today, so she would try to go to some convenience stores, where she should be able to find new purified water.

Ruan Ruanruan had drunk infected water on the rooftop before. After returning to the base, she realized that this kind of water can cause fever, and she became worried.

But later nothing happened to her, so she felt relieved.

Those people all had fever on the same day they drank the water, so Ruan Ruanruan never associated the abnormality of her body with this.

In the darkness, someone whispered, "Why are you up so early?"

Ruan Ruan Ruan came back to her senses and said, "I feel a little hot and can't sleep."

Someone turned over and muttered, "It's a bit hot. It's hot even without a blanket. If it keeps getting hotter, we won't be able to go outside..."

Ruan Ruanruan groped her way down from the upper bunk, found the water she had stored, and swallowed it silently.

Even she didn't realize that she was craving for water.

"Click!!"

Director Chu shouted with a loud speaker, and Jinli stopped drinking water.

In order to express Ruan Ruanruan's thirst for water, she drank the water in a hurry. The water overflowed from her lips and the corners of her mouth were wet.

It has only been a month since the end of the world. Water is precious, but not that precious.

When you go outside to search for supplies, you can often find various kinds of water.

Director Chu looked at the camera and asked Jinli to take a few more shots before announcing that the scene was over.

The scenes before the awakening were easy to shoot, but the scenes after the awakening were very emotionally and physically draining.

Jinli didn't dare to guarantee that she could pass it in one take. If she couldn't pass this kind of emotionally intense scene after three takes, then she would basically not be able to shoot it today because her body would be exhausted.

No matter what action he took, he would show a sense of fatigue.

Jinli took advantage of the break to frantically practice questions to restore her energy while waiting for Chen Qin to say goodbye.

I don't know how long I brushed my teeth, but the staff came to inform me: "Sister Jinli, get ready to shoot."

Jinli was still immersed in doing the questions. She stood up unconsciously and was about to walk to the venue when suddenly the phone in her pocket vibrated.

Jinli took it out and saw that it was Chen Qin calling. She recalled something and said, "I need to go to the bathroom and stay for ten minutes."

The stagehand immediately agreed: "Okay, I'll go talk to the director for you."

I have to start going home tomorrow~
