Chapter 473

The village chief came to the crew early to wait.

Because Ye Weijie was fully engaged in filming the work once he entered the filming state, he didn't notice at all that the village chief was waiting for him not far away.

It was Ye Weijie's assistant who saw the village chief and went to talk to him, asking:

"Village chief, are you here to find Ye Dao? What's the matter? If it's very important, I'll help you tell Ye Dao now."

The village chief shook his head and waved his hands, "No, it's not a big deal. I'll just wait here for him to finish filming and talk to him. Don't delay him."

Seeing that he spoke sincerely, the assistant let him be.

The village chief took young people to run the trademark registration with the people sent by Ye Dao to help a few days ago.

All the proof materials were ready, and the next step was for the young people to run with the people in the crew. He didn't need to come forward again.

So the village chief was free today.

Once he was free, he wanted to see how the filming of the Chitang Village TV series was going.

While waiting, the village chief kept looking at the lively scene of people coming and going around, feeling that both his heart and body were warm.

The winter in Chitang Village has always been very cold. Sometimes when he gets up in the morning, he can see a thin layer of frost on the vegetables in the field.

At that time, it was about to be the New Year, and young people kept returning from other places, seeing this scene and saying it was very beautiful.

The village chief felt at that time, what is good-looking about this? They can see these pictures every year.

But under the fuss of young people, he gradually felt that the frosted vegetables were indeed good-looking and tasted sweet.

The village chief didn't understand why this was before, but now seeing this scene, the village chief suddenly understood, because there is popularity in the village!

There are more people, the place has become lively, and the vegetables have become delicious.

While the village chief was waiting, he found that many villagers of Chitang Village could be seen not far away.

The villagers didn't dare to get close to disturb during the filming of the crew, only dared to stand on the periphery and discuss from time to time, with a smiling appearance.

And when the villagers gathered in the past, he could only see elderly villagers, but now he saw several young faces in the crowd...

The village chief suddenly realized that it seemed that the young people returning to the village had increased in the past few days.

When did this situation start?

Oh, it started when the crew stationed in Chitang Village began filming, and Chitang Village also ushered in a brand new atmosphere.

The village chief looked forward with fiery eyes and couldn't help but take off his glasses and wipe his slightly moist eyes.

He didn't cry.

He was just blinded by the small wind and sand blowing in his face, wanting to wipe off that little sand and stone gently.

"It's really good!" the village chief sighed softly.

"If Chitang Village can always become so good..."

The last vague murmur dissipated lightly in the wind and blew to the distant farmland.

The winter in Chitang Village is indeed very cold, but the village chief's body was warmed up by the fire ignited in his heart.

"Cut!"

Ye Weijie stared at the filming screen in front of him, and finally nodded and shouted cut after the actors repeated filming three times.

He picked up the big loudspeaker and shouted: "Everyone, rest for two hours, and arrive at the filming site on time in the afternoon."

People who were still in the crew applauded and cheered. In a burst of joy, the crowd gradually dispersed, instantly making Chitang Village, which was a bit empty, alive.

It was also at this time that Ye Weijie discovered the village chief not far away.

He walked over quickly and asked curiously: "Village chief, how long have you been standing here? Are you here to find me?"

He thought about it, the matter related to the village now is the trademark registration matter, so he asked:

"Is there a problem with trademark registration?"

The village chief shook his head, "No, the trademark is progressing very smoothly. I provided the proof materials and it's fine. A few young villagers followed the employees you sent to run it."

Ye Weijie smiled heartily, "That's right. Sometimes we have to let go and let young people do it. This way we can hone them. Then what are you here for today?"

The village chief wanted to speak directly about repairing the road, but he suddenly realized that it was a bit abrupt to say it in such a public place.

He had to find a relatively private occasion.

If Ye Dao is unwilling, he won't be seen by so many villagers on the scene.

Ye Weijie has been good enough to Chitang Village, and he doesn't want to affect Ye Dao because of the villagers' sudden ideas.

The village chief said: "You just finished filming, are you going to eat? Why don't we eat and talk, I invite you to be a guest at my house."

If the village chief said it straightforwardly, Ye Weijie might not take it seriously.

But seeing the village chief's solemn posture, his heart couldn't help but thump.

Is the village chief going to make some difficult things for him again?

He felt a bit bitter in his heart, as if he had eaten Coptis chinensis.

If he had known that helping once would lead to constant help later, he shouldn't have mentioned the trademark matter at that time.

Ye Weijie followed the village chief, thinking about what kind of reason to use to refuse later.

After all, he is not a local resident of Chitang Village, at most he is here to invest.

But his homestay has been built, and the crew has started filming. Chitang Village faces development problems, so it must be solved by people in the village.

It is not good for an outsider to intervene all the time, lest people say he is profit-seeking and has taken a fancy to Chitang Village's one-acre-three-cent land.

Suddenly, three figures flashed past his eyes. Looking closely, isn't that Jin Li?

The filming task is heavy, and the crew also has AB field filming.

He personally guides the filming of important scenes, and the deputy director films ordinary scenes.

In the morning, Jin Li went out to film location scenes with the deputy director and just came back.

Jin Li is wearing the outfit matched by the crew——white shirt and black pants, with two braids on her head.

Holding a notebook in her hand, with a pen tucked inside, she looks decent and has a style.

But because Jin Li's face is too young, and the braids look youthful, this style looks a bit incongruous.

But once placed in the background of the countryside, this sense of incongruity turned into a scene.

Young people returning to the village often mix and match clothes in the city with clothes in the village.

Wearing red and green cotton-padded trousers on the lower body, and a black down jacket on the upper body, etc., it is not too common.

Jin Li just mixed and matched her clothes and styling.

Ye Weijie suddenly thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he called out to the three people in front: "Jin Li!"

Jin Li turned her head and saw Ye Dao and the village chief.

The village chief smiled kindly at Jin Li, and Jin Li also raised a smile at him.

At noon in winter, the sun finally came out, and many villagers moved a stool from the room and placed it on the side of the road, sitting lazily and basking in the sun.

The village chief's eyes couldn't help but be shaken by Jin Li's smile and the sun on her head, and he blurted out:

"This girl is really handsome, the village flower of ten miles and eight villages is not as beautiful as her!"

Ye Weijie laughed, "Village chief, she is a celebrity, can she not be beautiful? The village flower definitely can't compare to her."

Before Jin Li could speak, he took the lead and said: "Jin Li, you haven't had lunch yet, right? Come with me, let's go to the village chief's house to have a meal of authentic farmhouse dishes."

After speaking, Ye Weijie turned his head to look at the village chief again, "Village chief, is the food at your house enough?"

The village chief nodded subconsciously: "Enough, enough!"

After saying this, the village chief also understood a bit. Ye Dao is going to bring one more person.

But the village chief thought about it, this is not a big deal, one more person is just a witness.

Now it became Ye Weijie and the village chief walking in front, and Jin Li and the two assistants walking behind, with a large distance between the two sides.

Ye Weijie turned his head to look at Jin Li from time to time, and didn't urge, as long as he knew she hadn't left.

Since Jin Li became a celebrity, she has been used to being looked at, and she turned a blind eye to Ye Dao's gaze without malice.

It was Chen Qin and Xiao Cheng who discussed Ye Weijie's frequent looking back.

"I feel Ye Dao is a bit uneasy."

"Well, he just deliberately called Jin Li to stop her from leaving."

"He seems not to want to be alone with the village chief?"

The two assistants looked at Jin Li and asked curiously: "Sister Jin Li, can you guess something?"

Jin Li looked up at the front, noticing the standing position and demeanor of the two, without needing to sense through divine power, just based on her observation of people, she could see some clues.

Jin Li said thoughtfully: "The village chief should have something to ask of Ye Dao, and Ye Dao is in a state of dodging him.

Did you notice that the village chief leans towards Ye Dao when walking, while Ye Dao dodges to the side? A good straight road was walked crookedly by them."

However, the roads in the village are not flat, there are many small roads, and you have to turn to confirm the route from time to time to return to the right track, so Ye Dao's dodging posture is not so obvious.

The direction Jin Li and Ye Weijie started walking was the same direction as the canteen in the village, so there were some actors falling behind them.

These actors are young actors, and they are under pressure whether facing the director or Jin Li, and dare not come forward to climb.

The young actors spontaneously formed a circle.

Xu Wenwen was originally outside the circle because her relationship with Jin Li was good.

As long as she was free in the crew, she would either ponder her own play or go to see Jin Li's play, and the two would chat a few words when they had time.

Other actors saw that Xu Wenwen didn't lean in front of Jin Li today, but was closer to them, so an actor asked boldly:

"Sister Wenwen, do you want to go to the canteen to eat together?"

Xu Wenwen agreed immediately.

She had no other thoughts, feeling that this was just a friendly interaction between crew members.

It just so happened that she also wanted to go to the canteen to eat, and following the large army was not bad.

Xu Wenwen didn't look old, that's because she debuted early, but her acting experience is hard to take out.

Just because she is only a second-tier, and doesn't give people the feeling that she is too high to reach, some young actors bravely talked to her.

After contact, they found that Xu Wenwen is cold on the outside and hot on the inside.

Although her temperament is a bit cold, she answers every question.

Although every sentence is short, they all answer the point.

As the group chatted, someone suddenly said: "Hey, are Jin Li and Ye Dao not going to the canteen with us to eat?"

Xu Wenwen raised her eyebrows and looked at the young male actor who spoke, with a smile in her eyes.

She didn't believe that in the entertainment industry, there would be such an innocent person who didn't know that the meals of directors and first-tier celebrities were different from ordinary actors.

Why should they go to eat big pot rice with ordinary actors?

And just say yesterday, the first day of official filming, not to mention Jin Li and Ye Dao, even she didn't go to the canteen to eat.

Who stipulated that they must go to the canteen to eat?

This male actor hadn't realized that he had said the wrong thing, or was deliberately saying so, waiting for someone to echo with him, his eyes looking around in the crowd.

He didn't look at the direction of Jin Li and Ye Dao, but stared at the crowd.

Xu Wenwen twitched the corners of her mouth, and just as she was about to speak, a crisp and loud female voice came:

"If people want to eat, where they go to eat, what does it have to do with you? If you have that leisure time to stare at where others go to eat, it's better to ponder your own acting skills."

The male actor's face turned red immediately, and he hurriedly said: "I didn't mean that, just asked casually, why are you splashing dirty water on me?"

The actress's voice was crisp, like the call of a yellow oriole.

"You are broken after just a few words? I didn't scold you either. Is it dirty water to say you stare at others? It's human nature to look at handsome men and beautiful women. I also love to look. You are dirty in your heart, so you think everything is dirty."

Xu Wenwen laughed lightly.

This laughter was hidden in the crowd and no one found it.

It just made that young male actor extremely embarrassed, lowering his head, looking ashamed and unable to face anyone.

That young actress was beside Xu Wenwen, and she heard someone whispering:

"When filming, I don't see your acting skills so good. You blush when you say blush, and you feel guilty when you say guilty."

Xu Wenwen bent her mouth, this girl's personality is too interesting, very much to her appetite.

Originally thought this matter would pass, but when she arrived at the entrance of the canteen, Xu Wenwen heard that girl pop out another sentence:

"Tsk, suddenly found it very green tea, I really deserve to be a green tea appraisal expert."

Pfft...

Xu Wenwen couldn't help laughing again, this time the laughter was a bit loud, attracting the girl's attention.

This girl was the young actress who took the initiative to communicate with her at the beginning and asked her if she wanted to go to the canteen to eat together.

The actress looked at her a little embarrassed, smiled shyly at her, and left quickly.

Xu Wenwen looked at her back as she fled, feeling that her toes were about to dig out a castle.

On the other side, Jin Li and Ye Dao arrived at the village chief's house.

Originally, her two assistants were going to transfer to the canteen to eat, fearing that the village chief's house would not be enough.

But as soon as the two were about to leave, they were enthusiastically kept by the village chief.

The village chief said enthusiastically: "The food is definitely enough. I have a vegetable field in the yard. If the vegetables are not enough, I will pick them and fry them for you to eat!"

Ye Dao said with a grin: "That's great, I also have a chance to rub a handful of organic farmhouse vegetables."

After finally finishing the meal, the village chief wanted to drink with Ye Weijie, but Ye Weijie refused repeatedly.

"Uncle, it's not that I don't want to drink, I have work to do in the afternoon and can't drink."

The village chief could only put down the wine glass and hesitated for a long time before mentioning the serious business to Ye Weijie.

"Ye Dao, is the road repair bridge section you filmed in the plot really going to help our Chitang Village repair the road?"

Ye Weijie said half-truth and half-false: "Well, it is to help the village repair the road. Our crew specifically left a part of the road repair budget, at least to repair the main road entering the village from the outside."

The crew did leave a budget for road repair, but not much, only enough to repair that section of the road.

Because that road will appear frequently later, it has to be repaired, which can save the special effects fee specifically for that road.

But other villages that only flashed by in the lens, they didn't repair them.

These road surfaces don't appear many times in the lens and can be completely replaced by special effects, saving time and effort.

The village chief asked eagerly: "I heard the plot the crew is filming, is it calling on villagers to donate money to repair the road, and then set up a monument for the villagers?"

Ye Weijie didn't understand what the village chief wanted to express, but Jin Li looked up at the village chief and smiled with interest.

Ye Weijie: "Well, yes, is there any problem? If you are worried about the stone tablet, don't worry, it can be added by later special effects."

The village chief took a puff of cigarette and said: "The villagers want to pay to repair the road and really set up a merit monument, write our names on it, do you think this matter is okay?"

When saying this, he felt a little embarrassed in his heart, feeling that he had plagiarized the young people's creativity.

These past few days, he followed a few young people to run to register the trademark, was instilled with a lot of intellectual property popular science, and knew that creativity is also one of them, and some people have to pay to use it.

Ye Weijie opposite slapped his thigh, crisp and loud, scaring the village chief to tremble.

The next second, Ye Weijie's eyes were filled with tears, and he excitedly held the village chief's hand tightly:

"Uncle, the villagers in your village really have vision! Far-sighted, deep-thinking, this is definitely okay!"

"If you are willing to repair the road, I will definitely support it strongly!!"

Chitang Village doing this is equivalent to saving a special effects fee for the crew.

Can Ye Weijie not be happy?

He was so excited that he shed tears!

This is a very good village.
