Chapter 474

The village chief didn't expect Ye Weijie to be so enthusiastic. He thought Ye Dao would think seriously and solemnly before giving him an answer.

After all, repairing the road is a big deal. Once road repair starts, it is likely to affect the filming progress of the crew.

In addition, after Chitang Village was selected as a filming scene, Ye Weijie emphasized to them more than once——

Chitang Village should not move any brick or tile, otherwise it will destroy the ancient charm they want to film.

If you want to move anything, say hello to the crew first, and you can move it after the crew discusses it.

The village chief was stunned for several seconds before asking Ye Dao cautiously: "So this matter is settled like this, you agree, don't oppose?"

Ye Weijie nodded: "Don't oppose, it's a good thing to be really willing to repair the road. What reason do I have to refuse? Chitang Village is your village."

The village chief felt relieved, as if falling into a dream.

Everything is too smooth, so smooth that he feels a bit unreal.

However, the next second, Ye Weijie threw out a "but."

The village chief's floating heart felt steady, thinking: Finally it came.

Ye Weijie: "It's just that road repair can't be repaired casually. I hope the village chief can repair it according to my ideas.

This idea is not just about what to repair, but you tell me the road you want to repair, and I combine the filming progress of the crew to tell you which road to repair first, and then repair another road."

Ye Weijie paused and specifically said: "Village chief, this matter shouldn't be difficult to do, right?"

The village chief nodded repeatedly: "Not difficult to do, as long as you really set up a merit monument."

Ye Weijie laughed, "The filming plot of the crew does have such a monument, and in real life, it is absolutely no problem for you to set up a monument."

He pondered for a while and said: "How about this, I can give you a guarantee that the merit monument filmed after the TV series is broadcast is the monument you set up, and the names on it will not be changed at all."

The village chief said quickly: "You mean, the merit monument and the names of the villagers recorded in it can all be on TV?"

Ye Weijie just wanted to nod casually, but suddenly thought that the medium of "TV" has a very unusual meaning in the hearts of the elderly.

They don't necessarily play with mobile phones, but they must watch TV.

So he took back his loose expression and nodded slightly seriously and solemnly: "I can guarantee that your merit monument and names will definitely appear in the TV series."

The village chief held Ye Weijie's hand excitedly, and the spit almost sprayed out.

"Uncle tells you the truth, with your guarantee, the villagers will definitely be very active in donating money. Merit monument and TV are both glorious things to the ancestors!"

Not knowing what he thought of, the village chief sighed with worry after relaxing.

"You gave me a difficult problem. What if the villagers donate too actively, everyone wants to set up a monument and be on TV, and they fight each other? What should I do?"

Ye Weijie teased: "Then why don't we not be on TV?"

The village chief glared at him, "Ye Dao, how can you be unfaithful? If you promise to be on TV, you must be on TV."

Next, the village chief discussed some things with Ye Weijie. If it weren't for the filming time being almost up, the village chief wouldn't want to let him go back.

On the way back, Ye Weijie whistled a few times excitedly and said to Seeing Jin Li with a smile:

"I am really a little genius for saving money. When I discussed this plot with the screenwriter, I thought about whether Chitang Village would be moved to follow, but I didn't hold much expectation. I didn't expect that we really guessed it!"

Seeing Jin Li was also very happy. If Chitang Village wants to develop, it must repair the road.

It should be said that any place that wants to develop, the road must be smooth.

If a highway can be repaired near the village, it can attract a large group of tourists to play.

But Seeing Jin Li suddenly thought that repairing the road is actually quite expensive. If Chitang Village really wants to repair all the bumpy roads, it might cost millions.

Although the feng shui array of Chitang Village is no longer intercepted by the Qi family and will become better and better in the future, it is just recovering now.

The villagers were not rich in the first place, not to mention a series of cultural and creative surroundings that they want to develop later.

It is conceivable that the funds are very tight.

If everything can be done slowly and carried out bit by bit, then everyone can slow down, and the pressure will not be so great.

But Chitang Village faces the biggest problem: time waits for no one.

The cultural tourism industry in China has developed very rapidly in recent years. Many dramas are filmed in the same year and launched in the same year. Once backlogged, it is likely that there will be no chance to broadcast again.

And policies often change, so it cannot be backlogged.

The so-called "good wind relies on strength, send me to the blue clouds," if Chitang Village wants to grab heat and traffic in cultural tourism, it is definitely best to cooperate with the broadcast of "Mediocre."

This also means that their cultural and creative peripheral products must be in place quickly.

Once this opportunity is missed, and they want to develop slowly, I am afraid that the reputation and heat will not be as good as before.

The huge investment in various industrial chains will make Chitang Village's finance even tighter.

No way, time waits for no one!

If they can save some money on road repair, it can also reduce some pressure for Chitang Village.

Seeing Jin Li pondered: "Can Chitang Village get some government subsidies for road repair?

If you really want to build Chitang Village into a tourist scenic village in the province and city, you can't just rely on the efforts of the people in Chitang Village. Every place should work together."

Ye Weijie thought about it and said: "I only planned to use the crew's funds to repair a section of the road before, and didn't think about repairing other roads. Just such a small section of road, it is impossible to get government subsidies.

But now Chitang Village wants to repair the road on a large scale, it should be able to get some subsidies.

I will send someone to tell the village chief later to see how the village chief wants to do it."

Ye Weijie said with some regret: "It's a pity that I still have to film, otherwise I would be quite willing to run this trip for them."

In the past few months, because I have to look at various filming venues, I have become very familiar with the cultural and tourism departments in many places.

From being at a loss at the beginning to being confident now, he has also experienced a transformation in body and mind.

Ye Weijie thought to himself that he should have inherited some of his grandfather's personality.

Grandfather used to be a grassroots civil servant, specializing in rural support.

The reason why he chose this filming theme is also related to his grandfather.

From childhood to adulthood, grandfather has been his role model.

The two returned to the crew to film.

The afternoon mainly filmed Seeing Jin Li's scenes. Driven by Seeing Jin Li's righteousness, the villagers would present a complex emotion of "very moved, but forced to refuse for the sake of face" after saying the lines.

Even the villagers themselves didn't know why. Once they met Seeing Jin Li's eyes, they became cowardly unconsciously.

This kind of artistic expression didn't feel anything when watching it at first.

After watching it more, it added an indescribable sense of comedy.

Even the staff wanted to laugh after watching it.

And at the filming site, under the influence of the atmosphere, Ye Weijie couldn't hold back his serious expression, laughing and scolding the places where the villagers and other actors filmed wrongly, asking them to correct them quickly.

As for Seeing Jin Li, Ye Weijie felt that she had her own ideas about the character "Yuan Xiaoxiao."

It's not that he didn't think about correcting it. Yesterday's filming was done according to his ideas, and the performance was not good.

Since filming according to his way didn't have the effect Seeing Jin Li wanted to express, he simply let go and let Seeing Jin Li interpret this role freely.

Young directors are good at this point. Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and they dare to try everything.

He dared to try some novel and exotic lenses when filming himself, and also dared to let go and let the actors film the desired effect without interfering with the actors' expression.

This is not like those famous directors. Their filming routines have been fixed, but they dare not break the framework.

Because filming according to their original way, although they cannot guarantee that the results will explode, at least they will not lose money.

For investors and directors, not losing money is a kind of success.

But now film and television dramas are updated very quickly, coupled with the impact of short dramas and short videos, people have more ways to choose entertainment.

Even many famous directors cannot guarantee whether their previous set can be eaten by the audience for a long time.

If you don't know how to be flexible and stubbornly film according to the previous set, even famous directors have to be careful not to lose their reputation in their later years and be scolded for eating rotten money.

When Seeing Jin Li was filming, many young actors who had no scenes gathered in her A group to observe and learn.

For them, an actor of Seeing Jin Li's level is enough to bring them a lot of inspiration in acting.

Even Xu Wenwen, a talented actor with experience, is no exception.

She came to observe because she felt that the role of village official made her performance difficult.

Her talent cannot be lit on this type of role, so she can only conquer it steadily, and cannot count on the flash of inspiration.

But some young actors are really tea, committed to the road of "stirring things up" and never looking back.

It was also through these young actors that Xu Wenwen discovered that some male actors really have smaller hearts than female actors, comparable to the tip of a needle.

"Seeing Jin Li's performance is great, it's often once through, zero mistakes throughout."

This young male actor threw out the topic first, set Seeing Jin Li high, and then said as if unintentionally:

"But I think the tone of her lines can be changed."

Other actors said: "She is first-tier, she must have her meaning in handling it like this."

Male actor: "Well, I'm not saying that she handles it wrong. She has acted in so many explosive dramas, and her ability is much stronger than mine. Whatever she does must have deep meaning.

I just put forward a small suggestion, you listen to me, can the lines be changed like this..."

Other actors were a bit confused after listening: "But I think after you changed it, it lost the original taste. Village officials should be real and grounded, not too literary!"

Male actor said: "But according to the current plot, they have been village officials for less than a week, and their student spirit is very strong. Their way of speaking cannot be changed for a while. I think the vocabulary can be made more advanced."

Xu Wenwen sneered, just about to speak, a crisp and bright female voice came from behind her.

"Are you sure? I think your idea has a problem."

The young male actor's face immediately became a bit ugly, "Wang Hongdou, can you stop singing against me? I clearly want to discuss with other actors with an open mind, and you always jump out to question me."

The young actress named "Wang Hongdou" curled her lips, "I didn't say anything excessive, Ma Mingqi, is it that you have to follow your will when communicating with people? I put forward some different opinions and it won't work?"

Ma Mingqi complained: "This is not an opposing opinion, you are clearly picking thorns!"

Wang Hongdou: "I don't have it, you misunderstood me yourself, I just correct the wrong things."

Ma Mingqi was laughed at by anger, and shouted a bit loudly: "Okay, you are right, tell me how you think, I want to see how you say it!"

Because his voice was a bit loud, it happened to be the actors' rest time, attracting the attention of Seeing Jin Li and the director.

Seeing Jin Li and Chen Qin looked at each other, and there was doubt in Seeing Jin Li's eyes.

Chen Qin shook her head, "I don't know, it seems like they suddenly quarreled."

It is very likely that a crew conflict occurred. Seeing Jin Li didn't want to come forward and planned to let Chen Qin go to inquire about the news.

She saw Ye Weijie walking over from the corner of her eye, pondered for a while, and followed.

Some things, you can't avoid if you want to.

And some responsibilities are also what the lead actor should bear.

Ye Weijie walked over to them and asked: "What are you doing? Quarrel?"

Ma Mingqi said without thinking: "No quarrel, director, I just have different opinions with Wang Hongdou, and we are discussing the plot and lines."

Ye Weijie originally wanted to say that they are not discussing at all, it is simply a quarrel, and he wanted to scold them.

But hearing that they said they were discussing the plot, Ye Weijie became interested.

He sat on the empty chair in the center, scanned the crowd, and said:

"It seems that you are not very busy, quite free, but it is good to put your mind on the script.

I suggest that you come here once every week, and then send me the theme and content of the discussion."

When this was said, other young actors smiled bitterly.

They like to discuss, but they don't like to write reports. If they have that leisure time, it's better to play a few games.

It is a suggestion, but in fact, the matter has been arranged.

Ye Weijie didn't care about their little thoughts, "Say out your discussion just now, I will argue for you and see who is right."

Ma Mingqi took the lead in stating his point of view, and then looked at Wang Hongdou.

He didn't dare to look at the director, nor did he dare to look at Seeing Jin Li around him, for fear that the two would guess the little thoughts in his heart.

Wang Hongdou was calm and said neither humble nor arrogant: "Director, I think Ma Mingqi's statement is wrong."

Ye Weijie asked with interest: "Where do you think it is wrong? I think it makes sense."

Seeing Jin Li glanced at Ye Dao, feeling that he was deliberately putting pressure on the little girl.

Wang Hongdou said: "Young college students, who speaks literary? Shouldn't they say some popular online buzzwords? Shouldn't they be abstract? Who would be as elegant as the ancients? Shouldn't they hang dirty words on their lips occasionally?"

Damn!

Everyone made a shock in their hearts.

Because it is too correct, so they are speechless.
