Chapter 470 This Winter Is Not Too Cold

The village chief came to the crew early and waited.

Once Ye Weijie entered the shooting state, he focused on filming his work wholeheartedly and did not notice that the village chief was waiting for him not far away.

However, Ye Weijie's assistant saw the village chief, went to talk to him, and asked:

"Village Chief, are you here to see Director Ye? What's the matter? If it's important, I'll help you talk to Director Ye right now."

The village chief quickly shook his head and waved his hands, "No, it's not a big deal. I'll just wait here for him to finish filming and then talk to him. Don't delay him."

Seeing that he was sincere, the assistant let him go.

A few days ago, the village chief took the young people and the people sent by Director Ye to help with the trademark registration.

All the material proofs have been prepared, and now the young man will run with the crew, and he doesn't need to show up again.

So the village chief was free today.

Now that he had some free time, he wanted to see how the filming of the TV series and film in Chitang Village was going.

While waiting, the village chief kept looking at the bustling scene of people coming and going around him, and felt warm in his heart and body.

The winters in Chitang Village are always very cold. Sometimes when you wake up in the morning, you can see a thin layer of frost on the vegetables in the fields.

It was almost the New Year at that time, and young people kept returning from other places. When they saw the scene, they all said it was very beautiful.

The village chief thought at the time, what's so good about this? He sees these scenes every year.

But under the excitement of the young people, he gradually came to feel that frosted vegetables did look good and tasted sweet.

The village chief didn’t understand why this happened before, but now seeing this scene, he suddenly understood, because the village has become popular!

With more people, the place became more lively and the food became more delicious.

While the village chief was waiting, he saw many villagers from Chi Pond Village not far away.

The villagers did not dare to disturb the crew during the filming. They just stood on the periphery and discussed from time to time with a smile on their faces.

In the past, when the villagers gathered together, he could only see elderly villagers, but now he saw several young faces in the crowd...

The village chief suddenly realized that it seemed that more young people had returned to the village in recent days.

When did this situation start?
Oh, it started with the crew stationed in Pond Village.

When the crew started filming, Chitang Village also ushered in a new atmosphere.

The village chief looked ahead with a fiery gaze and could not help taking off his glasses to wipe his slightly moist eyes.

He didn't cry.

He was just blinded by the small amount of sand blowing in his face and wanted to gently wipe away that bit of sand.

"That's great!" the village chief sighed softly.

"If Pond Village could continue to be this good..."

The last vague whisper gently dissipated in the wind and blew to the distant farmland.

The winter in Chitang Village is indeed very cold, but the village chief's body is kept warm by the fire burning in his heart.

"Crack!"

Ye Weijie stared at the shooting screen in front of him. After the actor repeated the shot three times, he finally nodded and called "cut" with satisfaction.

He picked up the loud speaker and shouted, "Everyone take a two-hour break and come to the shooting site on time this afternoon."

The people who were still in the crew applauded and cheered. Amid the joy, the crowd gradually dispersed, and the somewhat empty Chitang Village instantly came alive.

It was at this time that Ye Weijie discovered the village chief not far away.

He walked over quickly and asked curiously, "Village Chief, how long have you been standing here? Are you here to find me?"

He thought about it and realized that the issue related to the village now was the trademark registration, so he asked:
“Is there a problem with the trademark registration?”

The village chief shook his head and said, "No, the trademark is progressing smoothly. I will provide the supporting documents and it will be fine. A few young villagers will follow the staff you sent to run the business."

Ye Weijie smiled cheerfully, "That's right. Sometimes we have to let the young people do things, so that we can hone them. So why are you here today?"

The village chief wanted to talk directly about the road construction, but he suddenly realized that it would be a bit abrupt to say it in such a public occasion.

He had to find a more private setting.

If Director Ye didn't want to, he wouldn't have been seen by so many villagers present.

Ye Weijie has been good enough to Chitang Village, and he doesn't want to be affected by the villagers' sudden ideas.

The village chief said, "You just finished filming, are you going to have dinner? Otherwise, we can eat and talk. I will invite you to my home."

If the village chief had said it bluntly, Ye Weijie might not have taken it seriously.

But seeing the village chief's serious attitude, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Is the village chief going to throw some difficult problems at him again?

He felt a little bitter in his heart, as if he had eaten Coptis chinensis.

If he had known that helping once would lead to subsequent continuous help, he should not have mentioned the trademark issue at that time.

Ye Weijie followed the village chief, thinking about what excuse he would come up with to refuse.

After all, he is not a local resident of Chitang Village. At most, he came here to invest.

His homestay has been built and the crew has started filming. Chitang Village is facing development problems, which have to be solved by the villagers themselves.

It was not good for an outsider like him to keep interfering in the affairs of the village, lest he be accused of being profit-driven and coveting the three-acre land in Chitang Village.

Suddenly, three figures flashed before his eyes. When he looked closely, wasn't that Jinli?
The filming task was heavy, and the crew was divided into two parts for shooting: A and B.

He personally directed the shooting of the more important scenes, while the assistant director shot the ordinary scenes.

Jinli had just returned from an outdoor shoot with the assistant director this morning.

Jinli was wearing the outfit matched by the crew - a white shirt, black pants, and two pigtails on her head.

He was holding a notebook with a pen inside, looking serious and stylish.

Jinli's face is too young, and the pigtails make her look more youthful, but her clothes are rather conservative, so she looks a bit out of place.

But once placed in the rural context, this sense of incongruity becomes appropriate.

Young people who return to the village often mix and match city clothes with village clothes in a fashionable way.

Wearing a red and green jacket and pants on the lower body and a black down jacket on the upper body, etc., don't be too common.

Jinli just mixed and matched her clothes and looks.

Ye Weijie suddenly thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he called out to the three people in front of him: "Jinli!"

Jinli turned around and saw Director Ye and the village chief.

The village chief smiled at Jinli in a friendly manner, and Jinli smiled back at him.

At noon in winter, the sun finally came out, and many villagers moved a stool out of their houses and placed it on the roadside, sitting there lazily to bask in the sun.

The village chief's eyes were dazzled by Jinli's smile and the sunlight above her head, and he blurted out:
"This girl is so pretty, no other girl in the village is as pretty as her!"

Ye Weijie laughed, "Village Chief, she's a celebrity, how can she not be pretty? The village beauty definitely can't compare to her."

Without waiting for Jinli to speak, he took the lead and said, "Jinli, you haven't had lunch yet, right? Come with me, let's go to the village chief's house and have an authentic farm meal."

After finishing speaking, Ye Weijie turned to look at the village chief again, "Village chief, is your family's food sufficient?"

The village chief nodded subconsciously: "Enough, enough!"

After saying this, the village chief also understood a little bit that Director Ye was going to take a few more people with him.

But the village chief changed his mind and thought that this was not a big deal, so more people could serve as witnesses.

Now Ye Weijie and the village chief walked in front, while Jinli and two assistants walked behind, leaving a long distance between the two sides.

Ye Weijie turned his head and glanced at Jinli from time to time, without urging her, as long as he knew that she had not left.

Since becoming a star, Jinli has gotten used to being stared at, and she turned a blind eye to Director Ye's harmless gaze. However, Chen Qin and Xiao Cheng started discussing Ye Weijie's frequent turns of head.

"I feel like Director Ye has bad intentions."

"Well, he just deliberately stopped Sister Jinli and didn't let her leave."

"He doesn't seem to want to be alone with the village chief?"

The two assistants looked at Jinli and asked curiously, "Sister Jinli, can you guess something?"

Jinli looked up and forward, noticing the positions and expressions of the two people. She could tell something by her observation of people without using her divine power to sense them.

Jinli said thoughtfully: "The village chief should be asking something of Director Ye, and Director Ye is trying to avoid him.

Did you notice that when the village chief walked, he would lean towards Director Ye, while Director Ye would move aside, and they would make the straight road crooked?"

However, the roads in the village are not flat, and there are many small paths. One has to turn from time to time to confirm the route and get back on track, so Director Ye's dodging posture is not so obvious.

The direction that Jinli and Ye Weijie were walking in at first was the same direction as the canteen in the village, so some actors were also following behind them.

These actors are all young actors, and they feel a little pressured when facing the director or Jinli, and they dare not come forward to talk.

The young actors spontaneously formed a circle.

Xu Wenwen was originally outside the circle because of her good relationship with Jinli.

Whenever he was free in the crew, he would either think about his own play or go to watch Jinli's play. The two of them would chat for a while when they had time.

The other actors saw that Xu Wenwen did not come close to Jinli today, but was closer to them, so one actor boldly asked:
"Sister Wenwen, do you want to go to the cafeteria to eat together?"

Xu Wenwen agreed immediately.

She had no other thoughts and thought it was just a friendly interaction among the crew members.

It just so happened that she also had to go to the cafeteria to eat, so there was nothing wrong with following the group.

Xu Wenwen doesn't look very old, but because she debuted early, she has an impressive acting experience.

She was just a B-lister, without the unattainable feeling that A-listers give, and some young actors were brave enough to talk to her.

After getting to know her, they found that Xu Wenwen was cold on the outside but warm on the inside.

Although she has a somewhat cold temperament, she answers every question.

Although each sentence is short, it hits the point.

As the group was chatting, someone suddenly said, "Hey, aren't Jinli and Director Ye going to the cafeteria to eat with us?"

Xu Wenwen raised her eyebrows and looked at the young actor who spoke, with a half-smile in her eyes.

She didn't believe that there would be people so naive in the entertainment industry who didn't know that the meals for directors and first-line stars were different from those for ordinary actors.

Why should they eat from the same big pot as ordinary actors?

And yesterday was the first day of filming, not only Jinli and Director Ye, but even she herself didn't go to the cafeteria to eat.

Who says we have to eat in the cafeteria?
The actor hasn't realized that he said the wrong thing, or maybe he said it on purpose, waiting for someone to agree with him, looking around.

He didn't look in the direction of Jinli and Director Ye, but stared at their group of people to see who would stand with him.

Xu Wenwen pulled the corner of her mouth and was about to speak when suddenly a clear and loud female voice came:

"People can eat wherever they want, it's none of your business. If you have the time to stare at where others eat, you might as well focus on your acting skills."

The actor's face immediately turned red, and he hurriedly said, "That's not what I meant. I was just asking casually. Why are you throwing dirty water on me?"

The actress' voice was clear and crisp, like the call of an oriole.

"You're broken by just a few words? I didn't scold you. Is it dirty to say you stare at others?

It is normal to look at handsome men and beautiful women. I like to look at them too. It is your own heart that makes you think dirty things. "

Xu Wenwen chuckled softly.

The laughter was hidden in the crowd and no one noticed it.

The young actor was extremely embarrassed, with his head hung, looking ashamed.

The young actress was next to Xu Wenwen, and she heard someone whispering:
"I didn't see you acting so well during the filming. You blushed when you said you were going to blush, and you felt guilty when you said you were going to feel guilty."

Xu Wenwen's lips curled up. This girl's personality was very interesting and very much to her liking.

I thought the matter was over, but when I arrived at the cafeteria entrance, Xu Wenwen heard the girl blurt out:
"Tsk, I suddenly discovered a good green tea. I really am a tea expert."

puff...

Xu Wenwen couldn't help laughing again, and this time her laughter was a little loud, which attracted the girl's attention.

This girl was the young actress who had the courage to communicate with her at the beginning and asked her if she wanted to go to the cafeteria to eat together.

The actress looked at her a little embarrassedly, smiled shyly at her, and walked away quickly.

Xu Wenwen looked at her fleeing back and felt like she could dig a castle out of it with her toes.

On the other side, Jinli and Director Ye came to the village chief's house.

Originally, her two assistants were going to eat in the cafeteria because they were worried that there would not be enough food at the village chief's house.

But just as they were about to leave, the village chief warmly asked them to stay.

The village chief said enthusiastically: "There will definitely be enough food. I have a vegetable field in my yard. If there are not enough vegetables, I will pick some and fry them for you!"

Director Ye said with a smile: "That's great, I can also get some organic vegetables from the farm."

After finally finishing the meal, the village chief wanted to drink with Ye Weijie, but Ye Weijie repeatedly refused.

"Uncle, it's not that I don't want to drink, I have work to do in the afternoon and can't drink."

The village chief had no choice but to put down his wine glass and hesitated for a long time before bringing up the business with Ye Weijie.

"Director Ye, are you really going to help build the road in Chitang Village when you filmed the road-building scene in the plot?"

Ye Weijie said half-truthfully: "Well, we are going to help the village build a road. Our crew has specially reserved a part of the budget for road building. At least we need to repair the main road leading into the village."

The crew did leave a budget for road repairs, but it wasn't much, only enough to build a small section of the road.

Because that road will appear frequently later, it has to be repaired, which can save the cost of special effects made specifically for that road.

But they didn't repair other country roads that just flashed by in the camera.

These roads do not appear in the camera very often, so they can be replaced with special effects, saving time and effort.

The village chief asked eagerly, "I heard that the plot your crew is filming is to call on villagers to donate money to build roads, and then erect a monument for the villagers?"

Ye Weijie didn't understand what the village chief wanted to express, but Jinli looked up at the village chief and smiled with interest.

Ye Weijie: “Well, yes, what’s the problem?

If you are worried about the stone tablet, don't worry, it can be added in later special effects."

The village chief took a puff of his cigarette before saying, "The villagers want to pay for the road repair and really erect a monument of merit with our names on it. Do you think this will work?"

When he said this, he felt a little embarrassed, feeling that he had plagiarized the young man's ideas.

These days, he followed a few young people to register trademarks, and they instilled a lot of scientific knowledge about intellectual property rights. He learned that creativity is one of them, and some people have to pay to use it.

Ye Weijie on the opposite side slapped his thigh so loudly and crisply that the village chief was so scared that he trembled.

The next second, Ye Weijie, with tears in his eyes, excitedly held the village chief's hand tightly:

"Uncle, the villagers in your village are really visionary. They are far-sighted and thoughtful. This will definitely work!"

"If you are willing to build the road, I will definitely support it!!"

By doing this, Chitang Village saved the crew a lot of special effects fees.

How could Ye Weijie not be happy?

He was so excited that he cried!

What a wonderful village.
