Chapter 356: The Monkey's Salary
"We know that the reason why we came here this time is to rent ......" The middle-aged man with pigtails didn't care about Liu Junhao's attitude, and handed over a cigarette with a smile on his face.
"Rental?" Stretching out a smiling face, seeing that people have such a low profile, Liu Junhao remembered that his attitude was wrong. It's one thing to sell or not, and the three people in front of them are coming from afar, which can be regarded as full of sincerity.
He turned over and went back to the house, picked up a large watermelon for the three of them, and then invited them to taste it.
"Hehe, I've heard that your watermelon is delicious, I'll try it." The bearded director was unrestrained and reached out to pick a large piece.
After eating, the three of them were full of praise, and even said that this time it was not in vain.
In the small courtyard of the farmhouse, there are pheasants looking for food, green villages, tall sunflowers, and fruitful grape trellises. The tranquil and comfortable scenery in the courtyard made them forget the purpose of coming to Liujiagou for a while, and enjoyed it along the courtyard.
From the front yard to the backyard and then to the outside of the courtyard, the three of them were amazed. In particular, the scene of waterfowl and humans living in harmony in front of me has never been seen anywhere else. The bearded director looked very excited, grabbed the camera and filmed non-stop. Just now, the pigtail introduced this person, saying that it was the famous children's drama director Director Ma, who had filmed the children's drama "X Umbrella". It has a great influence in the country.
Liu Junhao is accustomed to their reactions, and first-time visitors to Liujiagou will see this kind of scene, but this horse guide reacted a little more violently.
The three of them turned around and sat back in the courtyard, and as soon as Director Ma sat down, he said: "Xanadu, it's really a paradise, I have decided, the TV series "XX Sunshine" will be filmed here with you." ”
"Oh?!" Liu Junhao is very interested in this. A "Liu Sanjie" made Guilin famous, if this TV series is filmed in Liujiagou, the benefits are obvious, and the impact is definitely much greater than posting on the Internet.
"Really?" Liu Guangju's eyes were also bright, obviously holding the same thoughts.
"Yes, after I see the monkeys, I will discuss the venue fee with your village." Ma Dao nodded, as if he had made up his mind.
"Talking about the venue fee, I am here to pat your chest and guarantee that all the public facilities in Liujiagou are free. If you still need something, just ask, and our village will try to meet it. A few years ago, Liu Guangju's goal was to lift the whole village out of poverty, and as the villagers gradually became rich, his goal has become to build the first village in the province. I have to say that Liu Guangju's vision is quite long-term now. He no longer looks at the venue Fei Na and walnut and jujube, and more importantly, the influence.
"What should be given is still given, hehe, this TV series has more funds." The bearded director vetoed. It's not that he doesn't want to save money, but he's afraid that the village will suddenly put forward conditions halfway through the filming of the TV series, and if it is delayed for a few days, the loss will be great.
"By the way, what about your monkey, why isn't he in the courtyard now?" The assistant with pigtails asked.
"Oh. It helped a couple of kids pick up the shells, and I'll be back right away, and I'll make a call. Liu Junhao replied, and then called Zhao Weidong's mobile phone.
"I have another question for you, can you help contact the teachers of the nearby elementary school, we are going to use some children in the play." Ma Dao then made another request.
"Hehe, you can just talk to Xiao Hao about this, his daughter-in-law is the principal of the elementary school." Liu Guangju pointed at Liu Junhao and asked expectantly, "What's that...... Director Ma, your TV series still needs to be an adult, if you want, can you consider me, I don't want to be paid. ”
This person is purely addicted to TV, and he will not miss any opportunity to appear on camera, Liu Junhao secretly despises it in his heart.
"Let's talk about it then, I don't think there is a suitable role." Ma Dao politely refused.
"By the way, Director Ma, what is your TV series about, the students of our school have not participated in the performance, I guess it won't work." Professor Zhao asked after thinking about it.
"Hehe, don't worry, old man. Our TV series is a children's light comedy, the story is about a group of children from different cities in a special summer camp life. Except for one comedian, I plan to find children who don't have any acting experience. My purpose is to discuss with you the most real and intuitive problems they face in the process of growing up through the performance of these children's true colors, and create a "The Troubles of Teenagers' Growth" with Chinese characteristics. ”
If it weren't for Liu Guangju's detailed introduction to Professor Zhao's identity just now, Director Ma wouldn't know that this seemingly ordinary old man in front of him was not small. Because of this, he showed respect in and out of his words, and introduced the TV series in detail.
While talking, the person who picked up the shell returned, and the courtyard suddenly became lively.
As soon as the monkey saw a cigarette on the table, he immediately jumped over and grabbed it in his hand.
"Wukong, put it down" Liu Junhao hurriedly scolded.
The guy reluctantly screamed twice and put the cigarette back down.
"Do you really understand?" Ma Dao's eyes also stared at "horse eyes". Before he came, he didn't believe it when he heard reporter Guo say that this monkey could understand human speech, thinking that it was just training. Now looking at this guy's anthropomorphic movements, he completely believes it.
"Hehe, Wukong is like this, he likes to mess around. Go, pick a few pears and entertain guests. Liu Junhao patted the monkey's head. Picking pears is not the goal, he mainly wants to show off the intelligence of his monkeys. After knowing that Director Ma was going to shoot a TV series in Liujiagou, he was also happy to let his monkey perform on stage.
The monkey snorted, then scurried back into the house and carried a large plastic bag up the tree.
It first hung the plastic bag on the branch and then began to pick pears all over the tree. Although this guy didn't know how to count, he was quite stingy when picking pears, and he stopped after picking only three.
"Wow, your monkey is so smart that he knows that the three of us are guests?" The female assistant exclaimed. In her opinion, the monkey was a pear picked specifically for the three of them.
Eldest sister, you are self-inflicted, Liu Junhao replied in his heart. He knows monkeys well. This guy won't be so generous. The three pears it picked already had owners: one for himself and Zhang Qian, and the rest was paid by the monkey.
"Wukong, continue to pick" Zhang Qian obviously understood the situation, and hurriedly ordered.
"Squeak" This time the monkey was reluctant, squatted on the tree for a long time and picked another one, and then said that he did not move anything.
"This guy belongs to the master who doesn't leave and pulls backwards." Liu Junhao explained with a wry smile, and then took the net pocket to hook the pears. The two pear trees are the first year to bear fruit, and there are not many pears on the top, plus the monkeys steal to eat every three or five times, and now one person in the courtyard can divide the light, no wonder it is reluctant.
When the monkey saw that the owner was in earnest, he picked it up again.
The plastic bag was already full, and this guy picked the pears and squeaked at Liu Junhao a few times.
"It's called an air relay," Zhang Qian said with a smile.
"Bang" The monkey threw the big pear in his hand straight to the master, and Liu Junhao followed to catch it.
"Wukong, throw me one." When the little ones saw this, they became excited again, and stretched out their little hands to ask for it.
The guy didn't treat himself badly when he got off the tree, he picked a big pear first, and then put the plastic bag in front of the owner.
After the pears are divided, there is exactly one less. Zhao Weidong hurriedly said that he was not thirsty now, and he wanted to give up the pears in his hand.
"Wukong, give me the pear" Liu Junhao hurriedly stretched out his hand to beg for it.
"Squeak" the monkey looked at the owner and stretched out his hand. Immediately opened his mouth and took a bite on the pear, and then sent the pear over.
Seeing this, everyone burst out laughing.
"I am full of confidence in this TV series, it is difficult to have monkeys to join and not be popular." After seeing Wukong's series of magical moves, Director Ma only sighed. Originally, there were a lot of monkey scenes in this TV series, but considering the difficulty of the actual production, Director Ma deliberately deleted a lot. Because in his opinion, animals are different from people, and their coordination is too poor, and the slightly complex movements are simply incomprehensible. But everything in front of him subverted his cognition, and Director Ma decided to ask the screenwriter to revise the script immediately after going back to increase the role of the monkey.
A morning's work. The monkeys are all showing their "talents". Hearing that Liu Junhao's monkeys were performing, many tourists rushed over. For a time, the courtyard of Nuoda was crowded.
When it was almost noon, Director Ma mentioned the monkey's salary and gave a price of 500 yuan a day.
There was another inhalation sound in the crowd, five hundred a day, and the monkey appeared for a month, that is, more than ten thousand.
This monkey ...... When everyone looked at Wukong in the field again, their expressions were already different. This guy is a monkey, he is simply the God of Wealth who attracts wealth and treasures. It is said that since it entered Liu Junhao's house, the wealth created by picking fungus alone is probably several thousand yuan.
Strictly speaking, this price is not high, and the Hollywood director invited the star polar bear "Knut" of the Berlin Zoo in Germany to join the new film, and the salary given was millions of dollars. In the film Armageddon, a dog costs several thousand francs a day to appear on camera.
Liu Junhao and his family didn't care much about money or anything, they mainly asked how long the monkey needed to work in a day, and some jobs Wukong would be annoyed if he did it for a long time.
At the end, Director Ma talked about other animals in Liu Junhao's courtyard, Xiaopi, Doudou, Starling, etc., each with its own tricks. When the time comes, it may be a trick, and the price is also calculated according to the extras.
Wukong's upcoming appearance in a TV series is like having wings, and in just one morning, everyone in the village knows about it. This guy is now completely in the spotlight, and many tourists are holding it for photos, saying that it will be difficult to wait for this guy to become famous and then want to take pictures.
At noon, the three of them ate here, and Liu Junhao naturally entertained him with delicious food and drink.
In the afternoon, Ma Dao specially took out his camera and took a short video of each animal in the courtyard. After the short film was filmed, he left impatiently, saying that he would go back and ask the screenwriter to adjust the plot according to the short film overnight, try to increase the number of animal shots, and strive to start shooting in the next few days.
Sending them away, Liu Junhao turned his head and found that his wife was a little depressed on her face, and he hurriedly asked what was wrong.
"Hey, as soon as we shoot a TV series, I'm afraid our honeymoon trip in the summer vacation will be in vain." Zhang Qian sighed in a low voice. For the honeymoon, she checked the information whenever she had free time, and there were tens of thousands of words in the travel guide alone.
But no, hearing what his wife said, Liu Junhao remembered that he was excited and forgot about it. Animals in the yard participate in the performance. The two of them naturally have to follow the whole process, otherwise what if there is an accident.
"Why don't we go on a trip now?" His weak advice.
"Then which line, I have to revise the test papers, and then assign summer homework. We don't know when the TV series will start, and it won't be good if it affects people. Zhang Qian shook her head and said, "Otherwise, let's postpone it a little longer, and you can travel at any time." ”
"It can only be like this," Liu Junhao replied with a nod.
As soon as I got home, I heard the "popping" sound in the courtyard, no need to ask, it must be the "star" bought by the tourists.
Ah, I'm happy today, let's let this guy have to be scared for a while. Starting tomorrow, the fissures will be confiscated.
When things were said, Zhang Qian's face was still a little wrong. Seeing that his wife was obviously hiding something in her heart, Liu Junhao suggested that the two go to the river beach for a walk.
To say that since the weather got hotter, the two of them have rarely turned around like this. Every time after work, Zhang Qian got into front of the computer to surf the Internet, and Liu Junhao sat next to him to command. It had just rained today, and the weather was not as hot as the previous days, coupled with the breeze blowing in your face, it was suitable for going out.
As soon as they entered the reeds, two grass beavers came running and shouted merrily around them.
The two sat down in the shade of the willow tree for a while, but his wife didn't speak, so Liu Junhao didn't ask, but folded a reed from the side to make a reed flute.
The principle of the reed flute is the same as that of the bamboo flute, which is to dig some small holes in the pipe body, and then remove the mucosa on the inner wall to make the flute membrane. However, the reed pipe is not as tough as bamboo, so it is easy to crack, and the texture is not dense enough, which seriously affects the quality of the sound.
Liu Junhao is having fun in his spare time, but he doesn't care about these shortcomings. He had learned the flute for a while, and he could barely play it for a while.
"Liu Junhao, do you think we want a child now?" After Zhang Qian finished speaking, she turned her head to look at her husband.
"What...... Okay" Liu Junhao was stunned for a moment, and then nodded in agreement.
"That's how you react?" Seeing his stunned appearance, Zhang Qian pushed him angrily.
"How do you want me to react?" He didn't know what reaction his wife wanted.
"Didn't you say you'd think about it in a few years?"
"It's whether you're saying it or not, I'm just cooperating." In fact, when to have children is the same for him. But his wife suddenly changed her mind, and he was a little strange.
"I won't tell you, I don't have a common language." Zhang Qian was quite depressed. She heard that Xu Xiaoli was thinking about the child when she was pregnant, and she thought that it would be good to have a child. This time, Mama Zhang came to mention it again, and she nodded in agreement. Afraid that her husband would have other ideas, she was worried about it for a long time, and was ready to spend some time convincing him. As a result, this man ...... The reaction was too bland, and the rhetoric she had prepared didn't work at all, making her feel like a punch in the cotton
