Chapter 21: Gambling Stones

When he was actually filming, he gave up his position as the director again, and the director asked Fan Xiaotian to sit down with him to direct, but Fan Xiaotian excused himself from being a director and didn't accept it. As a result, Li Shenglin saw Fan Xiaotian's status.

In fact, speaking of Fan Xiaotian, his bunch of writer names are not high in gold for ordinary people, but people who are familiar with Spring Pig will definitely not be impressed, every time Spring Pig producer Fan Xiaotian is particularly eye-catching, he is also the boss of Funa Company.

During the early filming, there was no role of Li Shenglin for the time being, and Fan Xiaotiantui co-directed the filming and found Li Shenglin.

"Uncle Fan. Li Shenglin asked a hello.

"Shenglin, I've been in Guangzhou for a few days, and I just finished it yesterday, so I rushed to the scene non-stop to see you. Han Xue has told me everything about you, I have been friends with Han Xue's father since childhood, you call me Uncle Fan, if you need an uncle in the future, just come to me directly. Fan Xiaotian said this very sincerely, although he may not have anything to do, but he may need Fan Xiaotian, a big guy, in the future.

"Thank you, Uncle Fan. Li Shenglin's words are also sincere.

"I've also heard some things from Han Xue about what you want to do, I believe that in the future, if you have a higher heart, you will definitely come into contact with TV drama production, I have said too much about this, and I guess you won't understand it now. But during the filming, you can follow me to learn briefly, I will teach you some skills in more straightforward language, and you will learn more with half the effort in the future. Fan Xiaotian seems to really treat Li Shenglin as a nephew.

In the following days, Li Shenglin followed Fan Xiaotian when he didn't have his own role, and Fan Xiaotian occasionally instructed some shooting skills on the spot, but most of them used the filmed tape to explain the key points of post-editing to Li Shenglin.

Regarding the production of TV dramas, editing is the easiest part for novices to cultivate interest, and the pre-casting shooting is indeed a bit boring for Li Shenglin, who is not even familiar with the set. Fan Xiaotian is indeed a good teacher!

……

A week passed, and on this day, the director gave the whole crew a day off. Li Shenglin also wanted to give himself a relaxing day, so he borrowed a jeep from Fan Xiaotian and planned to go to see the jade market. YN hasn't had a good time these days, YN is close to Myanmar, and the jade market is still very famous here.

There is no GPS in these years, at least not in China, it is useless to have it, there is no equipment and no route, Li Shenglin can only ask all the way and drive, the original two-hour journey is three and a half hours.

Finally drove to the jade rough market, Li Shenglin opened the door and got out of the car and scolded in his heart, knowing that he would not come if he was so troublesome. Anyway, I don't lack money, why do you suffer from this crime?

But if you come, you will come, and if you come, you will be safe. It was almost noon when I arrived at the sister market, I got up early in the morning, I didn't eat anything, and now I'm a little hungry. Since it had just rained, there was no one in the market for the time being, and Li Shenglin was not in a hurry, so he found a stall on the side of the road and ordered a bowl of noodles.

In fact, there are flavored rice noodles here, but the rice noodles are seasoned with special ingredients sprinkled with batches, and the so-called sprinkling is the undigested mucus in the large intestine of the cow. Li Shenglin was really grateful for this thing, and he wasn't even interested in tasting it.

After a while, Li Shenglin's noodles came up.

In addition to noodles and vegetables, there is a large piece of pork ribs, there is basically no animal protection law in Myanmar, and the pork ribs in the bowl are wild boar ribs. The taste is good, although the taste is a little worse, and the meat of wild boar has another flavor than domestic pigs, that is, it makes people angry when they bite into it.

Li Shenglin was not in the mood to taste it carefully, so he ate the noodles directly, and took two bites of the pork ribs casually and left. When I entered the market, I was surrounded by stalls of jadeite rough stones. It had just rained, and the surrounding ground was wet, and the air was filled with the aroma of earth, although Li Shenglin had not seen rain all the way, but a hundred meters away from YN might be equivalent to two heavens.

There are few customers, and the store is not much interested in taking the initiative to attract customers, many of whom are Burmese, and they cross the border to get some jade wool to sell. Li Shenglin walked a few casually, and he didn't use any good wool, the real jade tycoons are all purchased in Myanmar, and the state has not supervised and controlled this aspect in 03.

After a few years, the regime in Myanmar is turbulent, the output of jadeite rough has declined, and the price of jadeite has risen, constantly breaking the highest price in history, and the country cannot help but be blushing at this tax. It's just that this has nothing to do with Li Shenglin, Li Shenglin is not a jade businessman, he just wants to rely on luck to bet on a few pieces of jade wool to play.

Li Shenglin turned around to see if anyone was cutting stones. As a result, Li Shenglin was disappointed, there were only a few people in the entire sister market who were rubbing stones, and as soon as he looked at the skin of the stone and the expectant expression of the owner of the stone, Li Shenglin knew that the layman who was purely looking forward to getting rich overnight did not end well.

The time was close to noon, and the number of people had gradually increased, during which Li Shenglin picked a few small stones, and the skin color and texture were good, but unfortunately almost all of them collapsed. Li Shenglin didn't bother to take it back, so he sold it directly on the ground. Now he's still wandering around, even if he doesn't buy it, it's good.

I saw that there was a screeching noise similar to the rotation of a chainsaw everywhere in the sister market, and there were excited shouts from all directions, which was really lively.

Li Shenglin turned around twice more and came to a stall. The stall owner was a teenage girl, Burmese, and Li Shenglin talked to the little girl in a few words of Burmese that he only knew. Maybe the little girl was a little excited to see that Li Shenglin was handsome and could speak Burmese, so she started talking about sex.

Li Shenglin can really speak a few words in Burmese, and as soon as the little girl speaks, Li Shenglin will be blinded. The little girl talked for a long time, but she didn't speak when she saw Li Shenglin, and when she raised her head to look at Li Shenglin's ignorant expression, she found that Li Shenglin didn't know Burmese. The little girl was a little embarrassed, stuck out her tongue, and entertained the guests in completely non-standard Mandarin: "What do the guests want to buy?"

Li Shenglin looked down at the stones on the stall, and to be honest, it didn't look very good, so this stall was empty. He just wanted to take a casual look, but he was twittered by the little girl, and he was a little embarrassed to leave directly.

Li Shenglin picked a piece of black material weighing about five kilograms, the shape is relatively neat, and it is a must-bet material in the industry, and she has the best here. "Can you cut stones here?" asked the little girl.

"Yes, yes. The little girl nodded hurriedly, and beckoned the shopkeeper to come out. The shopkeeper is her father, a middle-aged man who is not tall and has dark skin, he looked at the material after he came out, and asked Li Shenglin: "The guest has selected it? This piece of material is not big, count you 2,000 yuan." ”

This price is not black, Li Shenglin happily gave the money and began to cut stones. The shopkeeper put the stone on the shelf in the open space next to it, went into the house and took out the electric stone polisher, and asked Li Shenglin where to start cutting. The previous few pieces collapsed, and Li Shenglin didn't have any expectations for this, so he let the shopkeeper cut it casually.

The shopkeeper didn't dare to cut it casually, so he first spent a line at the fifth of the edge, put it in position and pressed it down on the stone cutter.

The shopkeeper cut a little, then stopped his hand, and briefly swept the crumbs, Li Shenglin stepped forward to take a look, and was stunned at a glance. The shopkeeper also turned his head to Li Shenglin in surprise and said, "The water is good, if it can be green, it will definitely rise." ”

Only one-third of the height has been cut, and you can see that the water inside is very good, and it is possible to rub the ice seeds in the back. The bustle here also attracted some people to come and see, and some people saw that the material was better, and stood nearby to watch the shopkeeper continue to cut the stone.

It is human nature to join in the fun, there is a person to watch, ten people will attract ten people to watch, ten people to watch will attract more people to watch, this has not made any big noise, there are more than ten people standing around, and the owner's daughter is also curious to stretch out a little head to watch.

The "snap" cut off the stone fell from the shelf, and Li Shenglin and the people around him couldn't help but step forward again to see if there was any green. The shopkeeper simply swept the dust twice with his hand, took out a small spotlight from his waist, and shone it twice.

Li Shenglin is the owner of the stone, and he also took out the flashlight prepared in advance and shone it twice, and the shopkeeper didn't say anything after taking the picture just now, so he retreated, and when he saw Li Shenglin looking at the stone, he went directly into the house and brought a basin of water.

Li Shenglin took two photos with anticipation, and his heart was cold. From the perspective of light transmittance, the water is indeed very good, but it is still gray and abrupt below, and there is no sign of green. It's really blind to this kind of water, judging from the part that has been cut, it is very likely that there will be ice material behind, but if it is gray and abrupt, it is worthless, and there is no sign of green at all from now on.

The people around also saw the situation of the stone, and they all sighed in disappointment: "Collapsed, collapsed." "The others who didn't come forward heard that they were broken, and they lost even interest in looking at it. The number of people joining in the fun was instantly reduced by half, and only a few people who were as unwilling as Li Shenglin remained.

The shopkeeper walked out with a basin of water in his hand, and asked Li Shenglin hesitantly: "Do you still cut it?"

"Cut, why not, it's less than a third. Li Shenglin said. In fact, the possibility of cutting down to produce green is only high, not low, the fact is indeed as Li Shenglin said, there is not much to cut, but if it collapses with a knife, it will be worthless.

Li Shenglin said to cut, the shopkeeper poured some water on the cut surface of the stone, and after seeing that there was still no sign of green, he was ready to continue cutting. "How much will you cut this time?" asked Li Shenglin. Li Shenglin pondered for a moment, "Let's take a knife in the middle this time." ”

Well, the shopkeeper was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but say to Li Shenglin: "Guest, your piece of material doesn't look bad, and it's common for you to not cut out the green just now, but if you want to cut it in the middle, if it comes out of the green next, it may be cut down." ”
