I became famous in the entertainment industry by burning incense

Chapter 473: The agent visits the studio and wants to buy a house, another large donation
Generally, when filming, the crew will build a wall to prevent the crowd from filming the content of the scene.

However, due to the rapid development outside Chitang Village, it is crowded with stalls and vendors, making it difficult to clear out a blank space.

Especially when evicting people, it is easy to get into disputes with those small vendors. If a conflict breaks out and someone is accidentally injured, they might call the police, causing unnecessary criticism.

So when shooting this scene at the village gate, Ye Weijie chose to shoot directly.

His idea was that if a fan took a video or photo, then this clip could be circulated on the Internet, sparking some discussion among the crew.

In other words, this scene was specifically released by the director for discussion.

Of course, there are risks in doing this.

If Jinli and the villagers didn't perform well in this scene, with repeated freezes, it would be easy for netizens at the scene to think that their acting skills were not very good.

Maybe once the news gets out, the public might think that the filming of this drama is difficult and cannot be completed within the normal shooting cycle.

In addition, once the performance video is circulated, it needs to withstand the test of the public.

What if some people think that the two actors’ performances were bad, but fans strongly say that they performed very well, then a war of words will arise.

However, Ye Weijie's original intention was that no matter whether he was praised or criticized, as long as it could bring some discussion to the crew, it would be fine, so he had a calm mentality.

After filming this scene, the crew returned to Chitang Village, and security guards quickly surrounded them to prevent fans from entering.

Jinli returned to Chitang Village and had to shoot three more scenes before today's scenes were over.

Ye Weijie is a director who pays attention to efficiency. To be more precise, he is a director who is good at exploiting actors.

He will not give the actors too much rest time. When he thinks they have rested enough, he will ask the actors to start filming.

He often only sets a rest time of five or six minutes for the actors, which is much shorter than that set by ordinary crews.

As a result, experienced actors can still keep up, but some new actors cannot keep up at all.

In the eyes of new actors, they feel that their minds have just been cleared and they haven't gotten into the state yet, but they have to be called up to film again.

This time, Jinli is acting with a new actor, Ma Mingqi, who is considered by Xu Wenwen to be a "troublemaker".

He also plays the role of a village official. In addition, Wang Hongdou is also a village official.

However, in the crew, the two village officials, Jinli and Xu Wenwen, are the focus, and the other young actors do not have many roles as village officials.

The reason why Ma Mingqi was chosen by Director Ye was because of his excellent appearance.

His appearance does not conform to the popular pretty boy look nowadays, but he has a more regular look and looks very decent.

Jinli rested for only 5 minutes before Director Ye called her up to shoot. This scene was about her discussing with Ma Mingqi how to negotiate the courier company's matter.

She had only said two lines when the director called for a cut, but the mistake was not hers, but Ma Mingqi's.

Ye Weijie frowned and said angrily: "Ma Mingqi, where are you looking? Don't keep staring at Jinli, you should look at the book in your hand!"

When Ma Mingqi heard the director say this, he quickly bowed and apologized in a loud voice: "I'm sorry, director, Sister Jinli is so beautiful that I accidentally looked at her in a trance."

Jinli didn't say anything, just smiled at him.

Apart from smiling, she really didn't know what to say. The director had already scolded her, and she didn't want to comfort others.

Staring at others intently just because they are good-looking is something that should not be done by an actor.

Even if it's because the lines are too funny that caused laughter, it's better than this reason.

After all, in the entertainment industry, who isn’t beautiful?

The young actor Wang Hongdou, who was watching, said, "Flatterer."

After Ye Weijie scolded them, he did not give the two actors time to rest, but continued to shout: "Start shooting!"

But this time, the performance lasted only a few dozen seconds before Director Ye called "cut" again.

This time it’s still the young actor’s problem, but it’s not about distraction, but a problem of positioning.

Ma Mingqi's posture was a little crooked, covering Jinli's face in the camera.

After Sui Lingfang entered Chitang Village, she did not appear in front of Jinli, fearing that she would disturb her filming. She just watched from the sidelines, silently.

Seeing that Ma Mingqi kept getting stuck after just a few seconds of filming, she couldn't help but ask Xiao Cheng: "Is this actor always making NGs?"

Xiao Cheng thought about it and nodded.

"When he was acting with Sister Jinli, he often couldn't find his state, and he was a bit playful and his attitude was not right."

She hesitated and said, "It feels like she did this on purpose to attract Sister Jinli's attention."

Sui Lingfang understood immediately and sneered.

"You still want to pursue someone with this little trick? I think if he continues like this, the director will delete most of his scenes before Jinli even complains."

Xiao Cheng smiled but said nothing. She had discussed this with Chen Qin and felt that the other party might have this intention, but his methods were quite childish.

We are not all innocent students, so don't bring out the little tricks you learned during your student days and embarrass yourself.

Sui Lingfang knew that Jinli looked down on this kind of male star, but she still asked: "Jinli ignored him, right?"

Xiao Cheng nodded, "He asked Sister Jinli out a few times, saying that he admired her and wanted to have a meal with her, but Sister Jinli refused. She said that eating in the cafeteria would be considered eating together."

Sui Lingfang asked Xiao Cheng about Jinli's recent situation. Knowing that her acting was going well, she put her worries aside.

The three-act play could be completed in half an hour with Jinli's usual efficiency.

But even though Ma Mingqi was not in good condition, the shoot lasted a full hour.

Because of the repeated NGs, not only the actors but even the staff around them felt exhausted.

The constant NGs made them feel no sense of accomplishment in their work, and they just wanted to replace Ma Mingqi.

Some staff members privately murmured: "Where did the director pick a star with such poor acting skills? Could he have gotten in through connections?"

"Looking at the way he's dressed, he might be from a rich family. Maybe his family paid him to play the second male lead."

“It’s hard to say. Who among the celebrities in the entertainment industry doesn’t dress themselves up beautifully?

Haven’t you seen those celebrities who only dare to reveal that they have no work, but never dare to mention that they are poor, because even the celebrities themselves don’t believe it.”

After today's shooting, Jinli saw Sui Lingfang and was a little surprised.

"Sister Fang, why are you here today?"

Sui Lingfang said: "I just happened to be free during this period. I haven't been to the crew once, so I came to visit the crew to see how you are doing, and also to inspect Chitang Village."

She hesitated, then made up her mind and said, "I want to buy a piece of land here and build a house so that I can live there in my old age." Jinli: "Have you decided? Buying land is a big deal. You are not from this village. If you want to buy land, it may be difficult."

Sui Lingfang smiled and said, "Well, it's decided. This is what I want to do. I will buy the land first, and then I can build a house or a B&B in the future.

I can build a B&B like Director Ye did, and then tear it down and build a house when there is no business. I just need to buy the land and then renovate it however I want. But my original intention is to build a house for retirement.”

The last time she spent some time in Chitang Village, she felt that her body had improved a lot. She felt refreshed and energetic when she breathed, and she felt happy.

After returning to the city, she was still a little uncomfortable. She felt that she was too busy at work and couldn't imagine how she had managed to get through it before.

After experiencing the leisurely rural life, Sui Lingfang began to yearn for it.

Her hometown is not here. A house was built on the homestead of her hometown, but because she is a daughter, her parents told her clearly very early on that the house was left to her brother.

Sui Lingfang works hard outside just to have a family.

With her current income, she can definitely buy a house in a big city, but Sui Lingfang doesn't want to put so much pressure on herself, so she thinks about buying a residential plot in the countryside.

After Jinli finished filming, she took advantage of her free time and went with Sui Lingfang to ask the village chief if outsiders could buy land in the village.

"Buying land?"

When the village chief heard their intention, he immediately shook his head and said, "No, absolutely not. We will not sell the land."

Sui Lingfang persuaded him a little, "I can offer a high price."

The village chief sighed, "It's not that I don't want to sell it to you, but the village has never sold land to outsiders. Take the Qi family mentioned above for example. Their family also thrived in Chitang Village and only then were they allocated land in the village."

Seeing that the village chief was unwilling to give in, Jinli suddenly had an idea and asked, "Then, village chief, do you think it's okay to buy land and build a B&B to invest in Chitang Village?"

The village chief said without hesitation: "If you want to invest, then of course you can, but you have to think carefully. Investment land is different from residential land. Investment land has a time limit, and it will be taken back after the time is up."

Sui Lingfang wants to retire here, so she definitely cannot choose investment land.

Jinli thought of the many vacant houses in Chitang Village. These houses were only occupied during the Chinese New Year and were empty at other times.

So she asked: "Village head, since we can't buy the land, can we buy the houses built by the villagers? Once the villagers build the houses, they will own them. What if we buy the houses?"

Village chief Shen hesitated for a moment and said, “I don’t know much about the policy, I’ll ask for you tomorrow.”

Jinli asked: "You don't stop the villagers from selling their houses?"

The village chief sighed again, "Chitang Village is too poor. All the young people in the village have gone out to work because the village has no development.

If their house can be sold for a good price and solve their urgent needs, what can I say? But no one has ever mentioned buying a house, and I am not sure if it will work. "

I can't buy land, but if I can buy a house, even Jinli would be tempted.

How about she also buy a property here?
She doesn't do anything, she just lives here.

But it was just a thought, and Jinli gave up.

Pond Village will probably prosper in the future, so she would rather find a place with fewer people.

When there are too many people, privacy is difficult to guarantee.

Not to mention that Chitang Village is going to be transformed into a tourist village, with tourists coming here all year round. Jinli feels that it is not suitable for retirement.

After returning to the B&B, Sui Lingfang took a special look at the exterior and exclaimed: "Director Ye has a good business sense, this B&B is very beautiful.

If Chitang Village really becomes a tourist village, I have a feeling that this homestay will become a popular check-in spot. And the facilities inside are also good. As long as the service is in place, the room price can be increased. ”

When many people mention B&Bs, they think they are cheaper than hotels.

But only low-end B&Bs will compare prices with hotels. Those high-end B&Bs are also expensive, but their services are even more affordable than hotels.

Hotels are more suitable for business offices, while B&Bs can make people feel the warmth of home.

Moreover, the decoration styles of hotels and B&Bs are different.

The B&B may not necessarily be designed to be luxurious, but it basically conforms to the style and characteristics of local architecture.

After browsing for a while, Sui Lingfang walked into the B&B, checked the crew's filming progress with Jinli, and mentioned the joint venture to her.

"I've kept an eye on it for you. All four brands attach great importance to your collaboration. The factories are in full production and are now preparing stocks. They plan to launch the collaboration online in January or February next year."

Jinli raised her eyebrows, "It's already the end of December. If we want to launch it in January, we have to prepare for publicity and advertising. They don't have much time left."

Sui Lingfang nodded: "Yes, but the key to a joint venture is speed. The joint venture they discussed with you is actually very slow, mainly because our requirements are relatively high.

When other celebrities discuss collaborations with them, it usually takes one or two months to finalize the product and production. As for brands collaborating with those two-dimensional anime characters, it’s even faster, and can be done in a week.”

Jinli thought that Sister Fang would not come to the temple for no reason, and asked with smart eyes: "Does the brand want me to do something?"

Sui Lingfang smiled: "You guessed it right, they want you to shoot a commercial."

Jinli: "But I remember there was no requirement for advertising shoot at that time."

Sui Lingfang said with great joy: "No, with your worth, if you want to shoot a commercial, it will be another price.

But now brands may feel that the products have already been produced, so they want to make them perfect, and they still want you to shoot advertisements.”

If they change their mind only after the promotion, then Chenxi Entertainment will definitely offer a high price.

Jinli's influence has been increasing, and she has recently gained some popularity due to the filming of "Yonglu". The price offered by Chenxi Entertainment will definitely be higher than before.

Jinli considered the time it would take to shoot the commercials, and her own schedule, and the fact that she was not the spokesperson for these brands, so she finally shook her head and said:

"I won't shoot commercials, after all, I'm not their spokesperson, but I can take some photos for them, as well as some presentation and interview videos, but they need to come to Chi Pond Village to shoot them."

Sui Lingfang was not surprised by Jinli's decision.

Other stars can be moved by money, but among Jinli's many principles of conduct, money is the least important.

Sometimes when she was with Jinli, she could feel that "money was like dirt".

This feeling is not that Jinli is very arrogant, does not treat money as money, and spends money like water.

But she doesn't care about money at all.

If it weren't for the fact that making money is the driving force of many people's lives and Jinli needs money to promote some things, Sui Lingfang has no doubt that she would donate all her money in a minute.

Oh, by the way, Jinli recently donated another sum of money.

It was only when she was handling taxes that she found a large amount of money deducted from Jinli's bank card.
