I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.

Cheng Sheng didn't talk to the village head for long before county leaders arrived with their men, their timing impeccable.

"Oh my, you must be Director Cheng Sheng! I'm so excited to meet you for the first time. You are the pride of Xijiang. Your movies are so good. Our county even organized a viewing for everyone to learn about history."

“Watching your movie is like taking a history class. It’s a huge help for history students. My son was able to pass his history grade after watching it.”

"Yes, yes, my daughter is the same. She used to worry me to death when she got a score of 20 or 30. But after watching your movie, Director Cheng Sheng, she has become more motivated to study history. She keeps saying that she wants to become a woman like Princess Pingyang Zhao."

"Haha, after watching 'The Great Tang Dynasty 1' with my three-year-old grandson, he's now very interested in the history of the Tang Dynasty..."

Hearing the county leaders' flattering remarks, Cheng Sheng was speechless.

But I also know they weren't lying.

The release of "The Great Tang Dynasty 1" has truly sparked many people's interest in history.

History books are selling out abroad, and the same is true in China.

At that time, people all over the country were talking about history. Even an illiterate person could talk about many historical facts and remember the names of many emperors.

"You're too kind..."

Cheng Sheng said modestly.

Afterwards, Cheng Sheng talked with the county leaders for more than half an hour and understood their purpose.

They're here to attract investment.

Cheng Sheng wasn't surprised by this.

Currently, my country is promoting the development of county towns through a number of policies and measures, providing them with many conveniences. In turn, county towns are offering a variety of investment incentives to attract investment.

Just like land policy, while ensuring the normal land use needs of county town construction, the county town can offer preferential land to investors.

Despite the current economic downturn in Lianhua County, by 2020, it will be one of the top economic counties in Changnan.

If you invest now, you will definitely not lose money in the future.

However, Cheng Sheng doesn't really like opening shops or investing in factories; he prefers making movies.

Looking at the eager expressions on the faces of the county leaders, I'm afraid if we don't invest some money, we'll have a lot of trouble later.

Forget it.

Let's just donate some money.

It's a contribution to the country's development.

As for opening a factory, forget it; he doesn't have the energy to manage it.

After making the decision, Cheng Sheng first politely declined the investment requests from the county leaders.

Disappointed with the county leaders, Cheng Sheng directly donated 20 million yuan to the county for road construction.

Upon hearing this, the county leaders were overjoyed and grasped Cheng Sheng's hand, expressing their gratitude repeatedly.

So generous.

Twenty million!

According to a 2005 survey of county-level fiscal revenue in my country, the average annual fiscal budget was less than 20 million yuan.

Cheng Sheng's individual donations exceeded the annual revenue of an entire county.

In this way, Lianhua County will not need to invest so much in road construction in the future, and can use other money in another place.

After being warmly received by the county leaders, Cheng Sheng had dinner with them and then returned to the residence arranged by the village head.

He lived in the house next to Zeng Li's. Cheng Sheng didn't know whether the village chief did it on purpose or whether he realized that his relationship with Zeng Li was not simple.

night.

The countryside at night is beautiful, quiet, and peaceful.

This is something you don't find in the city.

The oval moon, like a rare pearl, is set in the sky.

The moonlight, like a soft white veil, enveloped the village, bathing the entire village in its gentle glow.

The moonlight flowed across the fields, everything was so quiet, as if the whole world was only filled with its steady heartbeat and gentle footsteps. A cool night breeze swept by, like a pot of old wine, intoxicating the trees and bamboo behind the house, and the crops in the fields, which swayed and made a cheerful, lively 'rustling' sound.

In the fields, the sounds of frogs and insects rose and fell, one wave higher than the next, "croak croak croak" and "buzz buzz buzz," and even fireflies carrying their flickering lanterns came to join the fun.

A few barks came from afar, and the bells under the cow's neck jingled.

This is a unique biological symphony.

The night grew darker, and the moon, like a white jade mirror, bathed the entire village in its light.

Just then, a figure was illuminated by the moonlight and gently pushed open a door.

Then, the sounds of a man and a woman whimpering came from inside the house.

The sound, combined with the silence outside, was like music tempting people to make mistakes.

The insects and frogs outside the house also began to provide background music for the beautiful music inside.

'Wow wow wow!'

Her voice is pleasant and beautiful.

Five o'clock in the morning.

As dawn broke, a figure stealthily emerged from the house, glanced around, and, finding no one paying attention, made his way out.

With a 'whoosh,' it darted into the house next door.

Oh oh oh!
The rooster crows in the countryside.

Many, many people kept coming out of the house.

There were villagers going to work in the fields, crew members running and exercising in the early days, and several female celebrities doing chest expansion exercises in front of their houses.

The surging waves drew the attention of the men around them.

Xun Ge knocked on Zeng Li's door, feeling quite puzzled. As far as she knew, Zeng Li usually didn't sleep in late and would get up early in the morning to run and exercise.

But it's almost seven o'clock now.

Why is the door still locked?

After knocking for almost a minute, Zeng Li lazily opened the door, her eyes filled with confusion, and yawned as she said, "Xiao Xun, good morning!"

"You didn't sleep last night?"

Looking at Zeng Li, whose complexion was rosy, body relaxed, and skin seemed much better than yesterday, Xun Ge'er was very puzzled.

As someone with experience, she could tell at a glance that this was a sign of a woman receiving ample nourishment.

She peeked furtively into the house but didn't see a man!

Xun Ge whispered, "Sister Li, are you secretly hiding a man in your house?"

Zeng Li's face flushed red instantly.

"Don't talk nonsense, how could there be a man hiding in my room?"

Zeng Li felt a surge of relief. Fortunately, Cheng Sheng had returned home early. If Xun Ge'er had found Cheng Sheng in her room, it would have been difficult to explain.

Xun Ge stared intently at Zeng Li for a long time, something seemed very wrong.

"Alright, hurry up and wash up! It'll be time to eat soon."

Afraid that Xun'er would ask more questions, Zeng Li grabbed her toiletries and pulled Xun'er to the riverbank.

There are no naturally outgoing people in the village. People usually wash their faces and clothes by a small river at the entrance of the village.

After washing up, everyone ate the breakfast prepared by the villagers.

Cheng Sheng gathered everyone at the village entrance.

According to the tradition of Hong Kong film opening ceremonies, burning incense, worshipping gods, and cutting roast pig are all important parts of the ceremony.

The opening ceremony usually involves consulting a feng shui master to choose an auspicious date. (End of Chapter)
