Chapter 475: Solving the Problem
Chapter 475: Solving the Problem
There was a knock on the door in the office. The village chief was worried and said unhappily, "Come in!"
As a result, he saw Jinli, Xu Wenwen and Sui Lingfang walk in, and the village chief's face suddenly became a little embarrassed. They were just discussing something related to the star.
The villagers in the office were very observant. They realized that the atmosphere was not right and quickly found an excuse to leave.
The villager who had been arguing with the village chief also wanted to leave. When he was about to leave, the village chief reacted, glared at the man, and said with a dark face:
"Lao Hu, please stay here. The artist and his agent are here. Can you explain what's going on?"
Old Hu is short and thin, with a farmer's unique dark skin.
When the village chief called his name, he shrank back, a little afraid.
Old Hu said awkwardly, "Village Chief, my matter is not important. They obviously want to see you for something. I will step aside for now."
Sui Lingfang smiled and said, "We walked outside and heard the village chief mention paparazzi. I don't know what happened that allowed the paparazzi to sneak in. I will go and tell the security guards to strengthen security in this area."
The village chief didn't explain. He just stared at Lao Hu and whispered, "Hurry up and tell me!"
Under the gaze of the village chief, Old Hu quickly glanced at Jinli and Xu Wenwen beside him.
Seeing the calm expressions on their faces, his uneasy heart relaxed a little and he spoke reluctantly.
"Village chief, you are making a fuss out of nothing. I am just leading some tourists to tour the Pond Village for half an hour. It's only half an hour. They can't do anything."
Jinli and Xu Wenwen didn't say anything, but Sui Lingfang smiled and said:
"Half an hour is enough to do a lot of things, such as installing a few cameras near the shooting area, so that you can easily get the artist's schedule on the set."
Lao Hu whispered, "I was watching them. They were just curious about the scenery in Chitang Village. They didn't install any cameras."
Sui Lingfang added: "It's not happening now, but there's no guarantee that it won't happen in the future, and are they really just curious about Chitang Village, not the artists being filmed there?
Didn't they ask you many times if you could enter the filming location, take photos with the artists, or just watch from a distance? Did you ever waver during this period?"
Old Hu's face changed slightly, as if someone had spoken of his secrets, and he stammered and couldn't answer.
Most of the villagers are honest people, and you can tell from their expressions whether they feel guilty or not.
The village chief glared at him and said in a serious tone, "Don't tell me you really agreed to the tourists' request and brought them to the filming site."
Lao Hu shook his head again and again: "No, I know the filming location is closed and we can't bring strangers in. Even we can't go in normally, so how could I dare to bring them in! That's it, that's it..."
Old Hu blushed and said vaguely: "Those tourists really wanted to see the stars and kept begging me if they could take a glimpse of them from a distance.
I didn't dare take them to the shooting location, so I only took them to a higher mountain in the village and looked at them from a distance.
But the mountain is far away from the filming location, they definitely can’t see it!”
Sui Lingfang then added, "It's true that you can't see it with your human eyes, but if you use a camera with higher precision, you might be able to capture it."
Old Hu was anxious and blurted out, "How could you imagine tourists to be so bad?"
Sui Lingfang sneered, "It's not what I thought. Just tell me if they took out their phones and cameras to film the shooting location."
Old Hu was speechless now.
The village chief sighed, waved his hand and said, "Okay, Lao Hu, don't bring tourists in anymore.
The crew signed an agreement with Chitang Village that during the filming period, not only the filming location in the village was closed, but the entire village was closed.
You brought tourists in to visit, which is a blatant violation of the signed contract. If the crew wants to hold Chitang Village responsible, our village will have to pay compensation, tens of thousands of dollars!"
The village chief deliberately threatened Lao Hu, saying: "You are the only one who brought tourists in. The other villagers are definitely not willing to pay for it, so you have to pay for it all yourself."
Lao Hu was so anxious that he spitted out saliva. "I only brought four people in, and each of them made 4 yuan, but I ended up paying tens of thousands. How can I afford it? And I can't even afford it with my life!
And I didn’t know we weren’t allowed to bring tourists in, you didn’t mention this to me before!
I saw outside the village that vendors from other places who came to set up stalls were making money, but our village had to be completely closed, and people had to go through very strict procedures to enter and leave, so I wanted to bring tourists in to supplement my family expenses. I, I really didn't mean to harm these stars!"
At the end of his speech, Lao Hu was choked up.
The village chief ignored his sobs and said in a deep voice: "It's not easy for you, it's not easy for everyone, but this cannot be a reason to violate the contract.
You go out first, I will talk to the artist and the manager and try to minimize the impact."
Old Hu looked at them a few times, his lips moved slightly, and he wanted to say something, but he felt ashamed. He raised his arm to wipe his wet eyes, and walked out without looking back.
The village chief followed Lao Hu and patted him on the shoulder.
After everyone left, he locked the door and turned to look at them.
The village chief said: "I can assure you that Lao Hu has absolutely no bad intentions and he didn't mean to attract tourists to visit. There may not be paparazzi among them. I just want him to stop doing this kind of thing, so I deliberately made it sound more serious."
Jinli and Xu Wenwen looked at each other, still choosing not to speak.
If you have an agent, it is best to leave things to him.
Sui Lingfang lowered her head and flipped through her phone, then said calmly, “Village Chief, I know what you mean, whether there are paparazzi is just a guess.
If not, everyone will be happy. If yes, I will have to start public relations urgently. I will ask my colleagues to check if there are any Reuters about Jinli and others circulating in the market. "
The village chief quickly said, "Okay, okay, go check it out first."
Sui Lingfang left the office first because she had to call Zou Da.
In the office, the village chief took the initiative to talk to the two stars about Lao Hu's situation.
"He is also a poor man. His wife despised him for being poor and ran away with someone else a few years ago.
A few years ago, I was engaged in breeding, but the weather was not right and something went wrong. I failed to breed successfully and lost money again. My son was diagnosed with intellectual disability and was unable to live independently. He could only do simple handicrafts in the village.
He was anxious to make money to pay for his son's medical treatment, so he resorted to this desperate measure. After I scolded him, he will definitely not dare to do this again in the future, don't worry."
Xu Wenwen hesitated for a moment and said, "Village head, I also sympathize with this villager's experience, but sympathy is sympathy, and it is true that he violated the contract.
We can't think that he is right just because he is pitiful. If that were the case, there would be no rules in the world. Whoever is poorer can break the rules."
Jinli nodded in agreement.
The village chief had a bead of sweat on his forehead. He could only hope that the villager he brought were real tourists and didn't cause any bigger trouble.
Jinli was curious about the thoughts of the villagers in Chitang Village and asked, "Village Chief, are other villagers like this villager, upset about not being able to make money and want to find a way to make money?"
"No, no!" The village chief shook his head repeatedly.
He was afraid that the two artists might misunderstand the villagers, so he quickly explained: "No one is as short-sighted as Lao Hu, nor as poor as him. The villagers knew that the crew was filming in the village to revitalize the village's economy and transform it into a tourist village.
The villagers fully support the crew. Everyone knows that poverty is only temporary. Once the filming of your drama is finished and Chitang Village is open to the public, more and more tourists will come to visit, and the village will become more and more prosperous.
Everyone is thinking about a better life in the future, and no one cares about closing the village now. Lao Hu is in a special situation, and I will teach him a lesson so that he won’t dare to do it again in the future.”
This series of explanations is enough to show the village chief's strong desire to survive.
Jinli thought about it, and asked the village chief how many villagers were in difficult situations like Lao Hu?
The village chief's heart was pounding, and he was a little confused about what she was thinking.
Could it be that they want to collect the information of those in need so that they can find someone to keep a close eye on them and prevent them from violating the contract?
But this is not right. If a thief is a thief for a thousand days, how can you be on guard against thieves for a thousand days?
If this is really the case, this artist would be too weird.
The village chief was distracted for a while and didn't want to say anything.
But under the gaze of Jinli and Xu Wenwen, he still gave a rough number.
“There are only five or six people, not many, really not many. There are actually very few poor households in our village.
If you are really worried about this, I will pay them a special visit and hold a meeting with them to show them the seriousness of breaching the contract, and they will never dare to breach the contract again!"
Xu Wenwen said: "It is better to hold a meeting with the whole village instead of just the poor families. Many villagers don't understand why the crew has to film in a closed environment.
They don’t understand what the consequences will be if the crew is not closed and the content of the filming is leaked.”
She thought for a while and explained in detail: "Let me tell you this, Village Chief. I once recorded a variety show, and a certain clip in the variety show was secretly filmed by the audience with their mobile phones and uploaded to the Internet, which triggered a hot search.
Then after the variety show went online, they ruthlessly deleted all the clips that were circulating on the Internet from the main film, and most of my scenes in the show were also deleted.
So if it wasn’t a promotional material released by the crew, but was legitimate filming material leaked by paparazzi, we actors would actually be held responsible as well.”
The village chief didn't quite understand the rules of filming, but seeing Xu Wenwen's serious expression, his eyelids couldn't help but twitch.
"Why is this so serious? The matter with Old Hu..."
The words that the village chief said when he called Lao Hu out were actually meant for the star and his agent to hear.
I want them not to hold Lao Hu responsible, and just let past be the past and avoid it happening again.
But now even the village chief is not sure.
He was not sure whether what Lao Hu had done was serious or not.
On the contrary, Jinli, who possessed the supernatural power of Zhong Kui, probably anticipated the follow-up of this incident when Lao Hu told him about it.
There were some twists and turns, but not big.
The smile on Jinli's face was as gentle as the breeze: "Why not let him make amends? I plan to let Lao Hu be the inspector to supervise the villagers in the village and prevent them from doing anything that violates the crew's contract."
The village chief's mood was like riding a roller coaster. He was hanging high at first, then fell down quickly, and then felt at ease and stable.
He excitedly held Jinli's hand, "You are a good person. I would like to thank you on behalf of Lao Hu!"
Xu Wenwen frowned imperceptibly and glanced at Jinli, but said nothing.
Jinli pulled her hand away, letting the village chief calm down first, and continued: "Let him help for free for a month, and I will pay him a salary after a month.
In addition, I would like to ask the poor families in the village to join the inspection to fill in the gaps that our crew is not aware of.
By the way, I would also like to ask all the villagers of Chitang Village to do one thing. If they see any suspicious persons, whether from this village or from other villages, approaching the filming site, or setting up cameras to film the crew from a distance, as long as the report is verified to be true, they will receive a cash reward of 1000 yuan. "
The village chief was stunned when he heard this, and thought: How can reporting be done this way?
Jinli smiled and added: "If they see any suspicious behavior at the village gate, they can also report it."
The village chief slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "I understand. You are trying to tackle this problem both inside and outside the village! Your idea is great. The villagers will definitely take positive action!"
Sui Lingfang happened to open the door and walked in. She nodded to Jinli first, and then said to the village chief:
"I asked someone to check and found out that it was fans who secretly filmed the leaked footage of the crew. They only took photos and did not record videos, so the impact was relatively low."
She paused deliberately and told the result of her discussion with Zou Da.
"Forget about what Lao Hu did before. We won't pursue it, but he must never do it again."
After all, the filming is taking place in the village, and the crew and the stars certainly don't want things to get too awkward with the villagers, lest anything go wrong during the filming.
And once the filming is completed and the content is broadcast, many tourists will come to Chitang Village.
What happened during the filming and the crew's attitude towards the villagers will also be spread through the villagers' mouths.
Therefore, the crew and the stars should try their best to leave a good impression on the villagers and let go of many things if possible.
The village chief said quickly: "It will definitely not happen again. I can guarantee that Lao Hu will join the inspection team as an inspection committee member and will definitely be more active than anyone else!"
Supervisory committee member?
Sui Lingfang raised her eyebrows and looked at Jinli at the first moment. Jinli gave her an innocent and simple smile in return.
After leaving the village chief's office, Sui Lingfang found out what Jinli had proposed to the village chief.
It's a good idea, and it's also very efficient in catching paparazzi taking secret photos.
But this should not be proposed by the stars, but by the crew, and the expenses should also come from the crew.
Sui Lingfang glanced at Jinli imperceptibly, with a helpless and indulgent smile.
Forget it, after all, her celebrity is a kind-hearted person.
Back at the B&B, Xu Wenwen couldn't help but mention what happened in the village chief's office to Jinli.
She felt that Jinli should not take the initiative to ask for supervision, and should come back and ask Director Ye first.
After Director Ye knew about this, he definitely wouldn't mind giving out a reward or hiring someone to supervise.
Jinli took the initiative to bring it up, which seemed a bit disadvantageous.
She had just started a conversation when Jinli took the initiative to ask her: "Did you observe the village chief's expression carefully when you were in the village chief's office?"
Xu Wenwen was stunned: "What?"
Jinli asked doubtfully, "We went to the village chief's office to see how the village chief dealt with the villagers and understand the profession of village official, didn't we?"
Xu Wenwen: …
In terms of the purity of acting, she is still behind after all_(:з」∠)_
Suddenly I found that the audiobook of Shaoxiang has been updated on Himalaya. You can listen to it on both Qidian and Himalaya, but the update speed is definitely not as fast as the serialization. Readers who want to read it again can go and listen to it. I listened to one or two episodes, and I feel that it seems okay with the soundtrack~ The old book "Queen's Cultivation Notes" also has an audio version, this one is finished, I wish you all a happy weekend tomorrow
