Chapter 58: Power on

This time, Tang Lin brought no more and no less, exactly 88 people, if in the town, the problem of food and housing for 88 people is not a big problem, only need to spend a sum of money, it can be properly solved, but in this kind of poor and remote village, it is a big problem.

So Tang Lin wanted to get rid of Aunt Liu's not because of anything else, but because he wanted her to help find some people to take care of some of the problems in the lives of this group of people, such as food, accommodation, etc., although he had already made some preparations when he came, such as bringing tents, necessary tools for survival in the wild, etc., but now if there are some better conditions, Tang Lin will not be so stingy with people who work for themselves.

In this regard, the sixth aunt is naturally embarrassed, although she knows the Dan Dan when she was a child, there is no problem with nagging like this, but if it is casually because Tang Lin is putting aside the farm work in her own family, even if her wife does not talk about him, others will say that she is courteous to these rich people, kitsch, etc., and it is indeed a very difficult thing for one person to take care of the lives of 88 people.

Tang Lin saw the hesitation on the sixth aunt's face, how could he not know why, and quickly said: " Aunt Six, don't worry, if you can help me, I will definitely pay you the corresponding salary, and some other food and drink will also be counted, you also know that there is no big place in our village or even this town to provide food and shelter for this large group of people, so I can only come back to ask for help from the neighboring villagers, Aunt Six, you can also call other people in the village to help, I will give you enough in terms of expenses, and I will give you the expenses in advance. ”

Hearing Tang Lin's words, the hesitation on the sixth aunt's face really disappeared, and she said with a smile: "Then what's the matter, I watched you grow up, and mine doesn't need it, but I definitely can't take care of so many people alone, so I will find some other villagers who have nothing to do to help, and you still have to give it to these neighbors who come to help." ”

Tang Lin nodded and said, "I understand this, Aunt Six, you can help me very grateful, so the salary will be given to you as usual, so don't shirk." ”

When Aunt Six was about to say something, a loud voice suddenly sounded behind the crowd: "Aunt Six, whose family is coming back? ”

After the words fell, a middle-aged man with a dark complexion, an old pipe, and a large light yellow shirt walked in from the path that the crowd got out of the way, and his eyes were a little cloudy, but it was not difficult to see the light shining inside.

"Village chief, you're here, isn't this the grandson of Lao Zhangtou's family, I've been to your house before," the sixth aunt introduced to the village chief who came next to her.

"Uncle Liu, hello, it's been a long time!" Tang Lin was also the first to greet at this time.

The village chief's name is Liu Zhengyi, and he is very righteous in terms of his life, which is why he was elected as the village chief by these simple villagers.

Liu Zhengyi looked at Tang Lin in front of him, and after savoring it for a while, he said, "Ah, it turned out to be the grandson of Lao Zhangtou! You kid hasn't been back for more than ten years, right? Why did you suddenly think of coming back to us, a place where birds don't?"

"Uncle Liu......"

When Tang Lin just wanted to reply, he suddenly saw a foreign object falling from the sky, and a piece of white thing happened to fall on the old pipe in Liu Zhengyi's mouth.

“……”

“……”

The surroundings were very quiet at this time, Liu Zhengyi also stared at the slightly peculiar smell in front of him, and looked up, but it was a big bird that circled several times before Shi Shiran flew away.

The sixth and eighth aunts, who were more familiar with Liu Zhengyi, were also stunned for a while, and then laughed without holding back, and said while laughing: "Village chief, what did you just say?"

"Hmph!" Liu Zhengyi glanced at the sixth aunt who said something that shouldn't be said, but he didn't make any other moves.

At this time, the staff who followed Tang Lin also burst into laughter, and the scene that had just been quiet instantly became lively.

"You kid, just come back and do something for me!" Liu Zhengyi looked at Tang Lin angrily and said, "Say, what are you bringing so many people back to the village? Although you have lived here before, and your parents will come back once in a while, but you, Uncle Liu, and I, as the village head, can't just let you casually bring such a large group of people into our village just because you are the grandson of the old Zhang Tou's family!"

Tang Lin thought for a while, and didn't hide it anymore, after all, when the work is carried out in the future, it will definitely be known by the villagers, and now if he says it in front of the village chief Liu Zhengyi, he may be able to get Liu Zhengyi's support.

So Tang Lin quickly replied: "Uncle Liu, in fact, I came back this time to find a place in our village to film, so I will disturb your uncles here for a while, and then I want Aunt Six to help find someone to see if they can provide us with some food and drink and a room to stay, and we will subsidize the expenses outside, and of course, there is also the cost of lost work, after all, all uncles and aunts need to do farm work." ”

As the head of a village, Liu Zhengyi heard the subsidy in Tang Lin's mouth, his cloudy eyes instantly lit up, as the head of the village, he has been struggling with how to give his villagers some benefits, but this problem has not been substantially solved, so every day he is worried about this, now it seems that a duck flew into the bowl by itself, how does this make him unhappy!

So Liu Zhengyi quickly asked Tang Lin: "Dandan, do you mean that if our villagers provide you people with food and accommodation, you will give our villagers money according to the outside expenses?"

Tang Lin nodded and said, "Yes, we can't eat and live for nothing, right?"

After hearing this, Liu Zhengyi laughed and said, "That can't be, there is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed, right? By the way, how many people are you here this time?"

Tang Lin thought for a while and said: "There may be a lot of people, there are a total of 88 people in the crew including the actors who came with me this time, my grandfather's family can probably squeeze about 20 people, and there are about 60 people left, Uncle Liu, see if you can help each family take in a few, I will definitely not treat your uncles badly in terms of price." ”

"So little?" Liu Zhengyi was a little disappointed, because the more people, the higher the fees the villagers could receive.

Liu Zhengyi frowned, and said with some reproach: "How can Lao Zhangtou's house accommodate more than 20 people, it's too crowded, no, no! You are used to living in our village, it doesn't mean that these people from the city are also used to being crowded! In this way, you leave ten people in Lao Zhangtou's house, and the remaining 78 people live in 3 of each household in our village, and it just so happens that in addition to Lao Zhangtou's house, there are 26 families in our village, so it is enough for everyone to live in a relatively spacious room, what do you think?"

Tang Lin naturally would not refuse Liu Zhengyi's suggestion, his original plan was not to affect the lives of the villagers too much, but now that the village chief Liu Zhengyi has spoken, he can make his life a little easier for the crew, and it is not a big deal to pay more living expenses, and this is also a disguised benefit to the township at that time.

It didn't take long for the village chief Liu Zhengyi and the sixth and eighth aunts to greet them, except for a few families who went out to do farm work and no one was at home, most of the crew members lived in their temporary homes.

Before they went in, Tang Lin told the crew over and over again not to bother these villagers with everything, and to be polite and moral, etc., and not to do something that violates the rules and regulations.

As for the vehicles that drove over, under Liu Zhengyi's arrangement, they all drove into a large cement open space in the village, where the villagers usually take some rice to dry after the crops are harvested.

The things on the car were moved by the crew, and they were soon moved to Tang Lin's old home.

The filming could not be carried out immediately, although Tang Lin had some rough shooting locations before coming here, but in the end, if it was good, he still had to go to the scene with Liao Yangping and others.

Before this, Tang Lin asked people to drive himself and Qin Ru to the town for a walk, mainly to the bank, although Liu Zhengyi asked the villagers to agree to accept the crew, but they were still a little reluctant, and anyone could talk in the vernacular, and it was not sure whether they could get the kind of subsidy in Liu Zhengyi's mouth in the end.

So, after Tang Lin went out this time, under the very polite action of the bank manager, he easily took out 300,000 cash from his card, which had only more than 8 million left, a very large lump, and after throwing it in the car, he and Qin Ru went shopping outside.

Shuanglan Town is actually a very small town, and the streets here, with two intersecting streets, are less than a mile before and after, and there are also some small shops sparsely in some other small alleys.

"Wood, is this what you mean by taking me shopping?" Qin Ru asked as he looked at the street where he could almost see his head at a glance, at this time the street was sparsely populated, and most of the shop owners were dozing.

Tang Lin nodded and said: "Well, we usually call this a 'bazaar' here, which is a small bazaar, and the days with the tail number of 1, 4, and 7 in the middle of the month are the time for the bazaar to catch the market. ”

After hearing this, Qin Ru nodded suddenly and said, "So that's the case, then you can take me out again in the next market, okay?"

Tang Lin touched Qin Ru's head dotingly, and said, "If you're not busy, I'll take you out for a walk, there was a lot of food on the street at that time, all kinds of stalls and whatever, but I haven't been here for a long time, I don't know if there are any changes now." ”

"Well, we'll have a look at it then," Qin Ru said happily, "Then let's go back first?"

"Go back, there's nothing fun to do right now," Tang Lin said.

Soon, Tang Lin's crew lived peacefully in this small village, because every family received 10,000 yuan from Tang Lin as soon as possible, and learned that Tang Lin would give a certain amount of remuneration again in the end, so each family treated the three crew members living in their homes as if they were guests, which made these crew members feel very frightened.

A few days passed quickly, and the harmony between the crew and the villagers was also very improved, and Tang Lin and Yang Xianlin, Liao Yangping, Bai Ze, and Ou Qian, the main creators, ran all over the ravines, almost rummaging for miles around Guluo Village, and finally determined all the filming points.

In this mountain forest, there is an ancient temple, which is said to be a relic of ancient times, but because the age is too old, there are no Buddha statues and gods enshrined in the temple, so the villagers in this area will not come here to worship.

In addition, among the older generation of villagers, it is widely said that there are some kind of ghosts in it, and if you walk in it at night, you will encounter some unclean things, which makes this place even less popular.

On the morning of the sixth day when the Tanglin crew came to Guluo Village, Heifenglin ushered in the first time in decades or even centuries when it was at its most popular.

The weeds that had grown in the open space in front of the temple had been completely cleared by this time, revealing the land that was still exuding the fragrance of nature.

On the face of the loss is a large rectangular table made up of several four-legged square wooden tables, which is covered with a large red cloth, and a large incense burner is placed in front of the red cloth, and various tributes are placed behind the incense burner, such as pig's head, chicken, duck, goose, etc., and behind these stands a young man with a solemn expression, this is Tang Lin, who has returned to his hometown this time.

Behind Tang Lin stood the other more than 80 members of the crew he brought back this time, surrounded by many villagers who came to watch the excitement.

In the middle of the two pillars of the ancient temple gate behind the crew, a large horizontal bar is hung horizontally, on which several large bronzing characters are printed: "I wish "A Chinese Ghost Story" a good start!"

There are also some smaller black fonts below: "Movie "A Chinese Ghost Story Crew""

That's right, this is Tang Lin's crew here for the start-up ceremony, in the concept of the Chinese people, gods, demons and monsters exist, and they have been in awe of these since ancient times, although this concept has weakened a lot now, but the ceremony of the start-up ceremony is still widespread, one is to seek peace of mind, and the other is to let the media promote their films.

Of course, Tang Lin's opening ceremony did not attract any media reporters.

I saw Tang Lin standing at the front of the crew at this time, holding the three incense sticks that had been lit with both hands, bowing three times very respectfully to the front, inserting the big incense into the incense burner, and shouting: "Turn on the machine!"

As the sound fell, the shouts of other crew members also sounded behind him, and at the same time, the scene also roared with salutes and firecrackers.
