Chapter 241: Filming a Movie to Unearth Treasure

~7 min read 1,315 words

December 12 afternoon.

「Brother, there are so many people! 」

Zhao Xiaoyang looked at the surrounding tourists with shifty eyes.

At this moment, it was the time to view maple leaves on Jade Tablet Peak, and red maple trees were everywhere around.

Every year at this time, many tourists come to travel and sightsee, so of course there are many people.

Lin Feng patted Zhao Xiaoyang on the back of the head, saying, "We came openly and honestly to serve the country by looking for the lost national treasure; we're not here to steal."

Zhao Xiaoyang scratched his head and gave a hehe laugh, "Brother, saying that makes me feel honored."

This was already the second day since the two of them arrived here.

In two days, relying on Lin Feng and Zhao Xiaoyang's stamina, they had explored everywhere the tourists could go.

Of course, during this process, he also found the treasure spot.

The photo Yang Yi sent him clearly showed someone standing at Jade Terrace Temple, having been taken there.

Looking into the distance, the undulating peaks ahead closely resembled the scenes extracted from a comic strip.

A temple had been built here since the Tang Dynasty; it was obvious the artist stood at Jade Terrace Temple to depict the treasure spot.

Next, they walked along a small path to the foot of that mountain.

Although the mountain's shape remained, its surface had undergone tremendous change.

For example, what should have been a bald hillside had a crack on it, which has now disappeared, overgrown with trees.

The treasure spot was discovered yesterday; feeling unwilling to give up, they went back twice.

Lin Feng furrowed his brows, sat down on a rock, and gazed into the distance at that treasure mountain.

「Brother, is the difficulty really that high? 」

Zhao Xiaoyang sat down beside Lin Feng and asked.

Lin Feng nodded and analyzed, "At the time, things were urgent and a large-scale concealment of treasure was needed. It was inevitable to choose a place with roads for convenient transport."

Don't look at how crowded it is now, but over 700 years ago, aside from a few places, this area was basically barren and uninhabited.

However, now, aside from at night, someone walks every small path here during the day.

The entrance would have to be blown open with explosives; such a commotion would be too great and would quickly draw attention.

After Lin Feng finished speaking, Zhao Xiaoyang said, "How about buying this scenic area?"

Buying it would definitely not work…… but……

Suddenly, Lin Feng's mouth curled up.

「Got it! 」

There are few problems in this world that money cannot solve.

Lin Feng reorganized his thoughts and said, "Buying won't work, but we can rent it! We'll contract the whole scenic area for a few days to film a movie."

「Filming a movie? !」

Zhao Xiaoyang didn't quite understand.

Lin Feng said with a smile, "Find a screenwriter to write a movie script about the Cliff Mountain Treasure, then rent the scenic area."

As for the explosion sound, we'll bring a few cannons up in advance and say the explosion noise is from the cannon props, giving notice ahead of time……

Blasting open the entrance shouldn't require much explosive.

Once we find the treasure and confirm the amount, we'll then transport a large batch of fake props up; after filming, we'll leave the props and move the real wealth under the guise of transporting the props—what do you think of this method?

After Lin Feng finished speaking, Zhao Xiaoyang looked at him with a shocked expression, "Brother, how did your brain grow? You even thought of such a beam‑switching trick."

Lin Feng gave a hehe laugh.

Zhao Xiaoyang scratched his head and said, "Brother, the Song Dynasty didn't have cannons, right?"

Lin Feng gave a hoho laugh, "Our Great Qing still has machine guns!"

Having finally worked out the plan, Lin Feng stood up, patted his buttocks, and said, "Let's go down the mountain! Let's invest in making a movie!"

While walking down the mountain, Zhao Xiaoyang whispered, "Brother, we need to prepare some props in advance—the more the better, the heavier the better. Besides, the two of us might not be able to pull this off."

Lin Feng thought for a moment and said, "Let Liu Erwa and Duan Fei join!"

Zhao Xiaoyang said, "They are trustworthy, unless they don't want to live."

The two came down the mountain, around four in the afternoon.

They found the person in charge of the Jade Tablet Peak Management Committee.

Lin Feng explained their purpose: they wanted to film a movie on Jade Tablet Peak about the Cliff Mountain Battle and the Southern Song Treasure.

During filming, they hoped the Jade Tablet Peak Tourist Area would be closed off, allowing only the crew to enter.

The person in charge was a middle‑aged man; after Lin Feng finished speaking, he looked embarrassed.

This is a famous tourist spot; it's impossible to close it just for a movie.

Such a loss would be truly enormous.

Lin Feng said with a smile, "The investment cost for our movie is fairly large; you should have heard of Great Flag Media, right?"

「You are…」

The middle‑aged man wore an inquiring expression.

Lin Feng had no business card.

However, he had a phone; he immediately opened the Great Flag Media official website and showed the middle‑aged man the board photos posted there.

「So you are Director Lin of Great Flag Media! Nice to meet you! 」

After learning Lin Feng's identity, the middle‑aged man immediately became much more enthusiastic.

Lin Feng said with a smile, "Rest assured, we will compensate you for the loss from closing the mountain. Once this movie is filmed and released, it will also be great publicity for the Jade Tablet Peak scenic area!"

The middle‑aged man burst out laughing.

Lin Feng understood; it was still a matter of money.

"We'll contract the mountain for half a month; name your price."

Lin Feng said with a smile.

From now until after the New Year, it's the peak tourist season; every day we here at least above person-times, weekends have even more people.

Tourism revenue isn't just ticket fees; it also includes their food and lodging, expenses for various recreational activities, and so on.

Just one day, the scenic area generates all kinds of revenue...

Before the middle-aged man finished speaking, Lin Feng furrowed his brows and said: "We've surveyed; the average visitor's expenditure is between 200 and 300 yuan."

Let's just take the middle value!

As for visitor numbers, averaging 5,000 person-times per day, paying you 1 million per day—how does that sound?

One day 1 million, 15 days is 15 million!

The middle-aged man laughed and said, "Okay!"

Lin Feng nodded and said: "The filming should be from the 17th to the 31st of next month—right before the Spring Festival, so we can finish shooting. After I return, the company will send someone specifically to talk with you and sign a contract..."

After Lin Feng finished speaking, the middle-aged man asked: "Mr. Lin, you're a company director—why did you personally come over?"

The middle-aged man knew of Great Flag Media—that's the domestic largest entertainment company, with a market value over a hundred billion.

As a company director, Lin Feng shouldn't be doing such trivial matters.

Lin Feng said with a smile: "I came over for tourism, and incidentally to talk with you; today is just a letter of intent. But rest assured, the price is set as such."

Since the scenic area can be rented, Lin Feng's subsequent plan can be carried out.

First, find a screenwriter to write a script.

Then gather a large group, find some little-known actors, and shoot according to the script.

Lin Feng never even thought about releasing it.

However, this matter still needs to be let Liang Shishi know, so she can arrange it.
