Chapter 441: Giving up is also a choice; Ye Dao

Ye Weijie rushed to Chitang Village overnight. Upon arrival, he discovered the village chief was actually holding a megaphone, convening a village assembly.

The meeting was nearing its end, and when he arrived, he happened to catch the villagers shouting slogans.

"Achieve common prosperity! Achieve collective prosperity!"

"Attract investment! Film TV dramas! Develop the tourism industry!"

"No one can stop our determination to progress!"

After listening, Ye Weijie silently gave a thumbs up and sighed: "What awareness! With villagers who have such awareness in Chitang Village, why worry about it not flourishing?!"

The screenwriter and another Feng Shui master remained silent. If they didn't know the villagers were shouting slogans to develop the village into a tourist destination, they would have thought it was some kind of pyramid scheme scene.

After the village chief finished the meeting with the villagers, he still vigorously entertained Ye Weijie, looking very much like he wanted to drag him into an all-night conversation.

In the end, it was Ye Weijie who couldn't hold on and took the initiative to suggest resting. Only then did the village chief reluctantly let go of his hand and made an appointment with him:

"Let's continue talking tomorrow. I am very interested in our village developing into a tourist destination. When it comes to coming up with ideas, it still has to be you young people."

Ye Weijie agreed immediately: "No problem."

Developing Chitang Village into a tourist destination did not conflict with using Chitang Village as a filming location; instead, it killed two birds with one stone, boosting the local economy.

It was the next day that Jin Li heard about Ye Weijie's feat of entering Chitang Village overnight.

Seeing the text message sent by Ye Weijie, she couldn't help but fall into silence.

She felt that perhaps she should remind Ye Weijie in advance; otherwise, given his level of stirring up trouble, he might not last past tomorrow.

Jin Li specifically called Ye Weijie and said bluntly: "Ye Dao, please pay attention to your own safety."

Ye Weijie was stunned for a moment and immediately asked: "Did you perceive something?"

Jin Li: "No, I just feel that as the initiator of the filming location, you might be targeted by people with ulterior motives, so I wanted you to be more careful."

Ye Weijie said cautiously: "I specifically hired a Daoist priest who knows Feng Shui. Do you think he is useful?"

Jin Li:???

"A Daoist priest who knows Feng Shui?" Jin Li was stunned.

After Jin Li was stunned, Ye Weijie was stunned: "Didn't you remind me to find a master who knows Feng Shui? I like Daoist priests, so I found a Daoist priest who knows Feng Shui."

After Ye Weijie finished speaking, Jin Li continued to be stunned: "When did I say that?"

Ye Weijie: "Emmm, you said it subtly? Something that can only be understood but not expressed? Isn't that what you wanted to express before?"

Jin Li's eyes were blank, and she began to wonder if her way of speaking was wrong, how could she make Ye Weijie understand it as finding a Feng Shui master.

She seemed to have only mentioned the Feng Shui problem of Chitang Village.

However, Jin Li thought about it again; Ye Weijie finding a Feng Shui master was also a good thing. Perhaps there would be an opportunity to reveal the secret of Chitang Village's Feng Shui.

This time, Jin Li said very bluntly: "Since you found a Feng Shui master, then you must pay even more attention to your safety. You are just protecting yourself, but others might think you are here to smash the place. Cutting off someone's path to wealth is like killing their parents; you can imagine the consequences of a conflict better than I can."

Ye Weijie originally thought that just hiring a Feng Shui master could guarantee safety, but now he suddenly felt that he needed a hundred or eighty bodyguards to guarantee his own safety.

"Jin Li!" A floor manager called her, and Jin Li hung up the phone first.

Jin Li confirmed tomorrow's scenes with the floor manager and continued to invest in shooting training.

When training seriously, the "Twice the Result with Half the Effort" on her body took effect again, and the shooting training effect was very significant.

In terms of psychological quality, Jin Li was impeccably excellent.

Previously, when filming on set, no matter how noisy it was, she could calm down and learn.

"Twice the Result with Half the Effort" made her shooting skills soar rapidly, and relying on increasingly proficient skills, her shooting score became higher and higher.

Although the play used a pistol, the skills taught by the trainer were more inclined toward the air rifle used in shooting competitions.

Therefore, Jin Li's training also used the score to show the results.

When Jin Li shot to "10 rings" for the second time, the trainer no longer thought it was a coincidence. She couldn't help but tilt her head to look at Jin Li, seeing Jin Li's exquisite and petite side face, and couldn't stop feeling regret in her heart:

"With such excellent shooting talent, why is she a female celebrity!"

The trainer had already told the director in advance that Jin Li's current shooting skills were fully capable of filming.

After Jin Li finished training, the trainer hesitated for a long time, leaned in front of Jin Li and asked: "Are you interested in participating in a shooting competition?"

Jin Li:...

Not necessary, thank you.

Jin Li looked at the trainer's eager eyes and shook her head to refuse.

"I am not interested in any shooting. If it weren't for the crew's requirements, I might not have touched shooting at all. Moreover, the training equipment in the crew is limited. The good results I achieved in the crew do not mean that I can perform equally well elsewhere.

In the crew, my state is very relaxed, and the quality of the results will not affect my interpretation of the plot, but if I really go to participate in the competition, it is hard to say."

Jin Li knew that relying on her "Twice the Result with Half the Effort" ability, it was easy to max out a skill point.

But that was just for show.

It looked very powerful on the surface, but in reality, there were many shortcomings.

To hone a skill to the peak, it requires thousands of trainings, enduring the boredom that ordinary people cannot endure, and persisting day after day.

Even with the ability of "Twice the Result with Half the Effort," it only reduces a little bit of daily training, but if you want to reach the peak, the sweat you have to pay is definitely not small.

To be honest, all the leaders who have reached the top of the industry, who doesn't have talent related to the industry?

There are so many graduates from major film academies every year, who doesn't have some acting talent?

But how many can really make it?

What is terrible is not genius, but genius working harder than you!

Jin Li never thought that she could challenge the limits of every profession by relying on the ability of "Twice the Result with Half the Effort." That is arrogance about her own ability, and also contempt for those who train day and night.

After rejecting an opportunity, Jin Li felt very relaxed, and felt that her state of mind had become open.

She had thought before that perhaps her Master wanted her to achieve something great by having her draw the "twice the result with half the effort" golden finger.

But now she suddenly felt that among all living beings, living her own life well with her own ability is also a great thing.

A thoughtful look flashed in Jin Li's eyes, "Born small, yet great..."

When recording "Leisurely Slow Life" before, this theme was filmed. Jin Li just interpreted it according to other people's ideas, and had feelings during filming, but not much.

But after giving up the shooting competition, she had a deeper understanding of her choices and life.

The opinion of the Provincial Tourism Department was conveyed to the relevant city. When the City Tourism Department saw that the filming location set for "My Mediocre Life" was Chitang Village, many people were surprised.

"Chitang Village, where is this village? I have never heard of it before!"

"It didn't appear on the recommendation list before. It is not a famous tourist attraction in the city, nor is it a poverty-stricken county that needs special help."

"It seems to be in the neighboring county of the recommended county, so the director went to inspect it together, and finally took a fancy to the unique scenery of Chitang Village, thinking it is more suitable for filming TV dramas."

Some people saw the three words "Chitang Village," their eyes flashed slightly, and they specifically asked: "Chitang Village has been designated as a filming location, will it be transformed into a tourist attraction later?"

Others said without thinking: "That's for sure!"

"Not every county can become a tourist attraction. No matter how carefully arranged the scenery is, it cannot be operated without people. But Chitang Village is different. After being on TV, there will definitely be many of Jin Li's fans coming to check in every year!"

"Yes, Jin Li is going to act in this film. Which of Jin Li's plays is not a hit?"

Some people began to envy Chitang Village's good luck, "Perhaps this village can contribute to the city's economy?"

It is rare for the City Tourism Department to have a county designated as a filming location, and everyone was full of enthusiasm and put forward many ideas.

Some people said to repair the road first, so as not to be inconvenient for tourists to drive by themselves; others said to renovate the neighboring county, create characteristic projects, and perhaps attract tourists to go there; others said they needed funding, fearing that Chitang Village and other counties had no money to develop...

The City Tourism Department discussed excitedly for a whole morning. After the meeting ended at noon, someone returned home and specifically made a phone call.

"Old Qi, congratulations first, your village is going to be prosperous!"

Qi Zhihong was a little stunned after listening, "What did you say?"

That person repeated it again, and said eagerly: "Your village has been designated as the filming location for "My Mediocre Life." Do you know this TV drama?"

Qi Zhihong still didn't understand: "What kind of TV drama? Why choose Chitang Village when there are so many other places?"

"The TV drama that Jin Li is about to star in. This TV drama has a good theme and good meaning. It can help poverty-stricken villages transform into tourist villages, bring wealth to villagers, and bring economy to the city!"

"Let me tell you, this is a great thing. The city values this project very much. Our city has a lot of beautiful scenery and many special snacks, but it has never been promoted. Why is this? Because there are no people!"

Qi Zhihong finally reacted, his face stiffened and said: "General Manager Li, Chitang Village is not a poverty-stricken village either. Why not leave this opportunity to villages that need it more?"

General Manager Li didn't hear the stiffness in his words and said with envy: "You think the city doesn't want to promote poverty-stricken villages? But the director took a fancy to your Chitang Village, saying that your Chitang Village has nine ponds, the geographical environment is special, and the ancient trees, streets, villages, etc., are all very characteristic, so it was designated as Chitang Village!"

"Old Qi, you must seize this opportunity. The villagers will definitely thank you. I will give you a bottom line first. You can leak it to the villagers in advance and do their ideological work..."

Qi Zhihong didn't hear a word of the following words. He only had one thought in his mind:

"Absolutely cannot let Chitang Village become a filming location! Chitang Village must never become prosperous!"

At the beginning, his uncle did Feng Shui for their family, visited many places, and finally settled on Chitang Village. It was because he took a fancy to the nine ponds in the village, saying that these nine ponds were the village's wealth-making ponds. There must have been an expert's guidance in the past, so the nine ponds were distributed exactly on the Feng Shui vein.

As long as their family could occupy the middle pond and drain the water inside, they could exchange it for endless wealth.

When his uncle did Feng Shui for their family, he was only ten years old.

After his uncle finished speaking, he vomited several mouthfuls of blood, his breath was weak, and he died within three days, causing this scene to be deeply imprinted in his mind, making him remember it forever.

Now he has retired, but Qi Zhihong can still recall the words his uncle said after vomiting blood, and the scene in his mind is like yesterday re-emerging.

"You can only occupy the pond for fifty years. After fifty years, you must stop and return the wealth to the village."

"If you can't do it, then never let Chitang Village flourish. Once it flourishes, the water in the middle pond cannot be drained, and you will also face a great disaster!"

After his uncle finished speaking, he vomited blood again and died!

This scene scared the whole family, and his mother cried until she fainted, saying those days that she killed her brother.

Later, Qi Zhihong learned that his uncle had an opportunity when he was a child and worshipped a wandering Daoist priest as his teacher. That Daoist priest taught him some fortune-telling and Feng Shui skills.

Later, the old Daoist priest passed away, and his uncle returned to the village and became the village's fortune teller.

His uncle revealed to his family that his fortune-telling skills were actually very average, and only Feng Shui was good, so his mother thought of finding his uncle to look at Feng Shui later.

In the past, the family's life was too poor, and every household was too poor to eat. It is said that he had two older sisters before him, all because of the famine and could not survive.

Later, his mother finally gave birth to him, and the whole family let him have whatever was delicious, so he didn't go hungry.

At first, their family moved into Chitang Village and spent a lot of effort to build a house on the edge of the middle pond. According to the method his uncle gave, their family soon became rich.

As the business grew bigger and bigger and the wealth became more and more, their family planned again and finally occupied the middle pond.

As for the so-called fifty years to stop?

That is impossible.

Interests are endless, and no one can refuse the temptation of wealth.

Qi Zhihong was panicked, and without knowing what he thought of, he hurriedly made a phone call.

He wanted to call people back to the village!

He wanted to incite the villagers to refuse!

He would not let the filming location be set in Chitang Village. Chitang Village should not think about being prosperous!

At this time in Chitang Village, the village chief held another mobilization meeting.

But this time it was not the village chief mobilizing them, but Ye Weijie mobilizing them.

The village chief said to the villagers: "Don't underestimate Ye Dao. If it weren't for his discerning eyes to discover the beauty of our Chitang Village, how long would our village be buried? Let us listen carefully to what Ye Dao has to say. He knows a lot about various support policies. If you have anything you don't understand, just ask him..."

The screenwriter gently bumped Ye Weijie and whispered: "When did you understand various support policies? Did you specifically make up for the lessons?"

Ye Weijie shivered, "I suddenly had a premonition in the morning, so I specifically crammed the township support strategies in the Strong Country APP. How is it?"

The screenwriter gave him a thumbs up, and even the Daoist priest on the side couldn't help but nod at him. This person's action ability is first-class! ===== CHAPTER 442 =====
