Chapter 427: Ruthless, cutting off descendants

~15 min read 2,858 words

Jin Li received the message from Sister Fang and didn't have time to think for long before she was picked up for rehearsal.

She had already rehearsed several times yesterday, and this time she added lighting effects, so the rehearsal was not difficult.

Jin Li's problem now is not in dancing, but in singing.

So as soon as the rehearsal ended, she was pulled by Xi Sister Meng Ze to practice breath temporarily.

Can singing be learned quickly?

Singing can really be learned quickly.

Of course, if you want to change the singer's long-term vocalization method, it is very difficult and requires long-term fighting.

But what Jin Li wants is not a complete change, but a quick success for that song.

Under Xi Sister Meng Ze's arrangement, targeted exercises such as ups and downs, melody rhythm, etc., were carried out for 'Destined to Fall in Love with You', which was a leap-forward improvement for Jin Li's performance.

And this is a live concert. There is a lot of noise on the scene. The audience is disturbed by various things and will put a large part of their energy on the visual, thereby ignoring some imperfections of the song in the auditory sense.

Jin Li is not singing in a quiet and uninhabited concert hall, and the listeners will not be too picky, so Xi Sister Meng Ze is very confident in Jin Li's quick success as a master in one day.

Jin Li finally passed Xi Sister Meng Ze's requirements, and it was already noon, and she felt that time waited for no one.

Whether it is brushing problems or doing things, time will slip away quickly.

She rubbed another thousand-yuan boxed lunch from March Sky, and Xi Sister Meng Ze rubbed it with her.

March Sky ate with them at noon, feeling that their appetite was much better.

Jin Li had no one to accompany her to eat yesterday, lacking the opportunity to play, but this time with Meng Meng, the two praised how delicious the thousand-yuan boxed lunch was.

They praised the boxed lunch as a delicacy in the world, and they were sorry for their stomachs if they didn't eat one more bite.

Under the influence of this atmosphere, the boxed lunch that March Sky still had was all eaten up.

Then the fitness coach saw their weight and announced that they would add a group of exercises at night.

March Sky:...

After Jin Li finished lunch, she had some time to call Sui Lingfang, asking what conditions the other three brands that agreed to her requirements put forward.

Sui Lingfang said in a suspicious tone: "No conditions, the person in charge didn't even call us to reply, just returned an OK on the email we sent."

She smiled and said: "At that time, I saw their short reply, and for a moment I thought I sent the wrong email, and turned out the email again to confirm, we didn't send it wrong."

Jin Li was also very curious: "Other brands made trouble, wanting me to yield, I think this is very normal. The requirements I put forward are indeed very different from the requirements put forward by other stars in the industry.

But they didn't make trouble, I am instead very curious about what they think. Could it be that their understanding is different from what we expressed?"

Sui Lingfang said: "I am very worried that they understood it wrong, and even passed the dispatch letter to other colleagues to see, and finally reached a conclusion:

The requirements and meanings we expressed in the dispatch letter are very clear, and the brand side understood it all at a glance, so there is nothing to ask."

Jin Li was very interested: "They agreed so quickly, they should have made a lot of preparation plans, and they are very confident in their own competing products. I am now very looking forward to their joint products."

Sui Lingfang: "I am also looking forward to it, can only satisfy the craving through the samples they submitted first. Next week they will send the samples over, and I will send a copy to your crew."

Jin Li: "Okay."

She pondered for a while, brought up Ye Weijie's matter, and told her that Ye Dao was coming to take photos for her to see.

Sui Lingfang knew about this. Ye Weijie called Jin Li and then called her to say a word.

It's just looking at photos and chatting about shooting places. As long as it doesn't disturb Jin Li's arrangements, she naturally has no problem here.

Sui Lingfang sighed: "I feel that the longer this shooting place is set, the greater the variables."

At the beginning, the news didn't spread on a large scale, and only those who were well-informed handed up the shooting places.

But as time went on, many places also received the wind, and relevant departments called Ye Weijie every day, wanting him to support the local township.

There were too many people asking, and there were more concerns about setting the shooting place.

"You don't know, Ye Weijie called me a few days ago, saying that some local departments, in order to set the shooting place locally, even sent him gifts, a full box of cash. He ran away as soon as he saw it, and he was scared."

Sui Lingfang smiled lightly, "I told him that this is where it is, and told him to set the shooting place quickly, otherwise there will be more and more people who want to walk the relationship. If the money path doesn't work, maybe they will use beauty tricks!"

Jin Li listened like listening to a novel, feeling that Ye Weijie's experience was better than a novel.

She didn't have any guilt that she was the initiator.

If she hadn't announced that she would join this drama, this drama wouldn't have turned from a cold drama that no one cared about into a hot drama that was sought after.

Sui Lingfang specifically reminded her: "Those people don't know the relationship between you and Ye Weijie, thinking that this film is led by Ye Weijie, and he can take the initiative to make decisions.

But you participated in the investment in 'My Mediocre Life', and the investment share Ye Weijie left for you is not small, and it will definitely be noticed by interested people.

If they can't walk through Ye Weijie's path, maybe they will come to find you. You leave as soon as you finish the concert, don't stay outside for too long."

Jin Li listened and sighed too.

"Why bother to spend so much money? Originally, setting the shooting place was to raise local cultural and tourism consumption and create income for the local area. Being tossed by those people, this income hasn't been created yet, but instead, a sum of funds has to be paid first."

Sui Lingfang sighed: "Poor, some places are really scared of being poor, poor and ruthless! As long as there is a chance, they want to grasp it with all their strength!"

Others send gifts because they want to go further.

These people send gifts because they want to pull the local economy.

One is for private, one is for public, Sui Lingfang's mood is also very complicated.

"So this shooting place, let's set it as soon as possible!"

In the afternoon, Jin Li didn't rehearse on stage, but found a conference room in the hotel and continued to practice breath under Xi Sister Meng Ze's guidance.

At three o'clock, Ye Weijie brought an assistant and finally arrived at the hotel.

Jin Li was not in the concert venue, so Ye Weijie turned to the hotel. He didn't expect that wanting to enter the hotel would be more troublesome than going to the venue, and he was blocked several times in the middle.

If it weren't for Chen Qin specifically coming down to pick them up and getting into their car to go through the process together, Ye Weijie and others wouldn't know how long it would take to arrive at the hotel.

Seeing Ye Weijie, Jin Li was shocked and almost thought she recognized the wrong person!

A few months ago, Ye Dao was still a young man who was a bit handsome. How did he become a vicissitudes middle-aged man who seemed to have returned from digging coal in Africa?

His hair was shaved into a bald head, but his beard wasn't shaved, making him look very weathered.

"Ye Dao, this is—"

Jin Li sized up Ye Weijie from top to bottom, her expression difficult to say.

Ye Weijie sighed heavily: "I'm black, and I'm thin. There's no way, many shooting places are in the mountains, I run around, and I don't know when I became black and thin."

"I wanted to lose weight before, but now it's too late to gain weight!"

Jin Li asked: "Why did you grow a beard? Looking at your appearance, you seem to be twenty or thirty years older."

Ye Weijie: "It's good to be old. If I look old, people won't treat me as a young man to fool. Jin Li, let me tell you, after I grew a beard, the people who came to the door spoke much more sincerely."

Jin Li sighed: "You are really not easy!"

Ye Weijie smiled: "But being busy is better than not being busy. Before, in order to pull investment, I had to be a grandson. I don't want to experience these things again."

Only after being a grandson did I know what it means to "call heaven and heaven doesn't respond, call earth and earth doesn't respond, seek the road without a door"!

Ye Weijie saw Xi Sister Meng Ze and knew that Jin Li had business to do here, so he didn't dare to delay her time and hurriedly took out a large stack of photos from his bag.

These photos were the shooting places he liked.

Jin Li first flipped through the photos. From the photos, the scene of each place was very beautiful, and there were many houses with local characteristics.

But she thought of the plot in the script and asked suspiciously: "Director, the shooting place is so beautiful, then how to develop it?"

Ye Weijie was stunned and replied: "Find a way to promote it."

Jin Li shook her head: "I'm referring to the plot in the script. There are many plots aimed at local transformation. This is to show the whimsical ideas of college student village officials and their best efforts."

"But these scenes are very beautiful, beautiful enough to be seen at a glance, but instead lack challenge. They just lack a window to be seen. These places don't need to spend much thought on transformation at all?"

Ye Weijie pondered and patted his forehead with his hand, "This is my fault!"

"I only thought that the shooting place was beautiful, and filming the subsequent development could save a lot of things, and could also be better combined with promotion, but I didn't think about the difficulty of filming."

Xi Sister Meng Ze listened silently and raised her hand to speak: "I listen to what you say, your script is to lead a backward village to develop under the leadership of college student village officials."

"But I look at these photos, I don't think the place is already very mature? Every place has the beauty of the original ecology. What these places lack is not development, but a window to be seen. No need to spend much thought on transformation, right?"

Ye Weijie couldn't help but nod. The authorities are fans and the bystanders are clear. He was dizzy by these beautiful shooting places!

Ye Weijie couldn't help but ask: "Then I have to find a village that hasn't developed at all, and carry out transformation?"

Jin Li shook her head: "Full transformation is not realistic, it's too difficult. You have to find some places with many local characteristic landscapes, but even the locals don't care, and don't think these landscapes are worth people coming to travel."

Ye Weijie heard her say this, and a flash of light flashed in his mind.

"I really have a place here. The local residents don't care at all. Seeing me lying on the ground filming, they came to watch and be happy, asking what I was doing, and saying what is good about these things... I will turn it over for you."

He turned out a bag of photos from the bottom of his bag. He used separate transparent bags for each shooting place photo, and the bags were labeled with records.

Jin Li took it and looked at it, and became interested.

"The trees here are very peculiar. They are all hundred-year-old intertwined big trees. If you use them as a shooting place for horror movies, it should be very interesting."

Xi Sister Meng Ze also took one of the photos to look at, "There are actually nine ponds, is this a Feng Shui pond? Backed by mountains, the village is arranged with nine ponds, and there are also ancient villages built with arch bridges and earth stones."

Jin Li leaned over to look, and frowned slightly, "Why is this pond out of water?"

Ye Weijie stood over to look, and instantly recalled something, frowning: "I don't know, and this pond is a private pond, not open for filming."

"Private pond?"

Xi Sister Meng Ze spliced the photos of the ponds together, and could see that the nine ponds were arranged in the form of upper, middle, and lower, three on the top, three in the middle, and three on the bottom.

The village houses were built around the ponds.

"I think the village houses were built around the ponds, how did the one in the middle become private?"

Ye Weijie said: "The department of this place invited me to see the shooting place, not this village, but the village next to the pond village.

I heard from the people in that village that the pond village was also quite famous in the Ming Dynasty, and it produced a champion in the Ming Dynasty, but I don't know why it became more and more downcast."

"I thought that filming one place is filming, and filming two is also filming, so I went to the pond village to take a look, and found that it really has ancient charm and characteristics, and the building arrangement is very unique."

He paused, recalled what the village said at the time, and said: "The pond in the middle was bought by a large household as a house base, and then built on the side of the pond,

He paused, recalling what the villagers had said at the time, and said, "The pond in the middle was bought by a wealthy family as a building plot. They built their house right on the edge of the pond, enclosed the pond within their property, and it is not open to the public at all."

"I only discovered the pond was empty through aerial photography. I specifically asked the village chief, and the chief was also puzzled, not knowing why the pond had no water. He said all nine ponds are connected, so it's impossible for it to be dry."

"Aerial footage isn't very clear after all, so I secretly climbed over the wall to film it. I found that there really was no water inside, but the surrounding soil was very damp. It must have been drained intentionally by someone."

Jin Li suddenly asked, "The guards you mentioned just now are?"

Ye Weijie: "The wealthy family's house—that house isn't lived in often, so they hired a few guards to watch over it. One guard is even specifically assigned to watch the pond. I don't know what there is to look at in an empty pond."

Jin Li shook her head, "According to the layout of the village, if this pond were empty, it would cause great damage to the local Feng Shui."

Her expression turned slightly solemn: "Because I didn't observe it on-site and am only going by photos, my judgment isn't entirely accurate."

"The pond in the middle has the best Feng Shui; it should actually be protected separately. It is the most vital point in the Feng Shui."

"But that family not only claimed it as their own, they also drained the water in the middle, cutting off the Feng Shui of the entire village. In the long run, it's equivalent to concentrating the entire village's Feng Shui solely on that one family!"

Claiming it as their own wouldn't be that serious; it would just make that family in the middle more prosperous than the others.

But intentionally digging out and draining the pond—the impact is huge.

The accumulated Feng Shui and wealth cannot circulate to the entire village through the nine ponds; instead, it only flows toward the middle pond. That wealthy family has occupied the Feng Shui of the whole village.

In the past, this would be considered a ruthless act, one that would leave others without descendants.
