Chapter 15: Touch
"We are poor in Wutong County! Poor enough to be known throughout the country! You are willing to come to us to film, bring job opportunities to the local people, and at the same time give us the opportunity to be known by more people, I thank you on behalf of the people of the county! ”
Grabbing the director with his left hand and the producer with his right hand, Director Luo seemed to have caught the Fortune Sutra, and sparks of hope popped up in his eyes from time to time.
The venue fee and labor cost are only temporary, but the movie is about to be released!
If the movie becomes popular and more people see them here, maybe they will want to travel, and that will be a long-term thing!
"It's time for us to say thank you! It not only provides policy convenience, but also contributes to people! With cadres like you, sooner or later this place will become rich! ”
The producer is used to dealing with the government, and what he said was very sincere, and everyone listened to it and felt that it was appropriate.
"We have barren land here, the climate is not good, only the scenery is good, but it is not far from the two national scenic spots, tourists come, most of them go straight to the scenic spots, except for adventurous travelers, ordinary people do not come to their poor countryside, so so so many years have not been able to develop.
"For a better life, young people have left their hometowns, but as long as they can take root in a richer land, they will not come back, slowly, only the old, weak, sick and disabled are left in their hometowns, and it is difficult to develop!"
There is a tanned clerk who is born with a bitter face, and he follows Director Luo closely, and what the leader is embarrassed to say, he will tell him.
"I will definitely shoot this movie well, and when it is released again, I will definitely invite you to watch it in the cinema."
Deng Yu made a serious commitment.
This movie has a low budget, it is purely that there are no big scenes, the service does not burn money, and the actors do not invite traffic celebrities, it is not that the investor has no background.
Speaking of which, if it weren't for the big business of the investor and a certain sense of responsibility in the industry, he would not have made such a movie at all.
Whether it is a comedy movie or a romantic drama, even a martial arts movie and a horror film, the market is larger than this realistic theme.
The **** behind this movie has shares in the cinema chain, and when the movie is filmed, as long as it does not violate laws and regulations, it can be properly released.
He is a director, and it is particularly convincing to say such things, and there is a light of hope in everyone's eyes!
If you don't have a deep affection for this land, who would want to come back and take the civil service exam? To be honest, even if you go south to the factory to nail screws, your income is higher than at home.
These poverty alleviation cadres are dreaming of ways to lead the villagers to get rich every day, and now they are seizing such a good opportunity and naturally working hard.
"If you have any needs, you must say them, but if you can do it, we will fully cooperate!"
received the crew at the entrance to the city, and brought the main creative staff to the county government for reception, and the poverty alleviation office was very enthusiastic.
The thin Director Luo still has mud in his fingernails, if he hadn't heard that a crew was going to make a movie, he would still be helping the poor in the countryside.
He looks gray and wrinkled, at least in his fifties, but in fact he is only thirty-eight, seeing that everyone in the crew is not disgusted by the poor conditions, the wrinkles on his face have stretched a lot.
Panxi is already poor, a prefecture-level city, there are not a few high-rise buildings, the infrastructure is not as good as the small towns in the rich areas, and the Wutong County under its jurisdiction is even poorer, the county government is just a row of bungalows, and many of the houses are rammed earth houses.
Along the way, when the villagers saw such a large convoy of the crew, they stopped one after another, and watched them go away with confused, envious and timid eyes, and Ni Bingyan sat in the car, like sitting on pins and needles.
Even when she was at her most depressed, she was better off than these people.
Even if she was a child raised in a welfare home.
Because the location of the orphanage is very wealthy, the government funds are sufficient every year, and there are often donations from caring people, she has never worn clothes with frayed collar and cuffs, and she has never been hungry.
Poor! It's really poor here, it's not that they're crying poor!
"We have a short frost-free period here, and the weather is dry, so many crops do not grow well, but the potatoes and eggs are bumper every year."
Director Luo smiled and clenched his hands into fists, and shrunk his nails in the palm of his hand: "I've been going to the countryside for a while, helping the lonely old man to harvest potatoes, and the fingernails can't be cleaned, which makes you laugh." ”
But he was afraid that the crew would think that he didn't pay attention to this matter, so he came sloppy.
On a July day, he was wearing a new executive jacket, and his forehead was sweating.
Probably this is his best clothes, which are usually placed in the box, because the material is not good, the sleeves and back have deep folds, no matter how he caresses, he can't smooth it.
Ni Bingyan looked at all this, remembering that the T-shirt on his body cost more than 3,000, and his throat was very dry.
Obviously, I just took a job, and it should be the same as before, but I didn't expect that when I first set foot on this land, my heart was touched so much.
It turned out that under the same flag, there were so many people that the whole family couldn't afford to buy one of her T-shirts after a year's hard work!
The soft and comfortable clothes in the past seemed to have thorns, which made her uncomfortable.
Her heart was fluttering here, and Director Luo was also secretly glancing at her, not because she was beautiful, but because when the director introduced her just now, he said that she was the female lead.
Thinking about the previous application, the crew said that there was a plot in the movie where the heroine took the villagers to get rid of poverty and become rich, and Director Luo couldn't help but be disappointed.
This child with a delicate face, at first glance, is pampered by a wealthy family, can he play the hard-working Yingzi in their ravines?
But the crew's big battle doesn't look like a ticket.
Let's go and see.
"You are all very attentive, dedicated to the people, the people are all in mind, work together, everything will be fine!"
I thought that Director Deng was not good at words, but it turned out that people just didn't like nonsense, and he was quite able to say it at a critical time.
"Yes! We also firmly believe that hard work will bear fruit, and if we can't reach the goal for a while, it's just that the work is not enough! ”
The deputy director happily served tea, and brought up a few plates of fried peanuts:
"We are here, there are not many others, there are many mountains, this is the wild tea in the mountains, don't look at the low recognition outside, the locals like it, this is the peanuts that grow in the sand on the mountain, don't look small, especially fragrant! It's all sent by the villagers. There is no other good thing to entertain, everyone is wronged! ”
Now that the times are different, this kind of hospitality is not considered inadequate, but very suitable, and the producers are afraid that they will drag everyone to eat and drink, and it is not necessary to go or not.
Now that this is the case, everyone has no psychological burden, and everyone in the crew said, "This is good, let you bother." ”。
A group of people discussed the details of the filming, and the comrades of the Poverty Alleviation Office enthusiastically asked the crew where they needed help, and the assistant director Liu Zhicheng was moved and said that there was still a group performance.
As a result, a group of cadres patted their chests and promised that they could come over for free to make up the numbers! If it's not enough, you can also mobilize the folks to play in their true colors!
After receiving this assurance, the deputy director was almost grateful!
It just so happened that the notice that the heroine was going to be filmed in the first scene came, and the county leaders sent her tuition, which was originally worried, and the general group performance couldn't perform that flavor, and it was very suitable for these real cadres to act.
They don't take money, and they are bent on finding a way for the local people to get rid of poverty and become rich, which is not a violation of the rules.
Ni Bingyan was dumbfounded.
These people are really hard fighting!
The big guys chatted, Ni Bingyan sat on the side peeling peanuts, and ate a few of them, and suddenly remembered what her father told her about bringing goods in the live broadcast.
I wonder if you can give it a try?
"Have you ever tried selling produce online? I remember that your potatoes here are of particularly good quality, and you are also famous for sheep and goji berries and things like that. ”
Potatoes are common vegetables, whether it is production or sales, can be said to be "vegetable brother", because different cooking methods have different requirements for potatoes, her restaurant and brothers' shops, every year will buy the best potatoes from all over the world, noodles, crispy, glutinous, large suitable for shredding, small suitable for burning, baking, everything.
Relying on the developed network and logistics, is it more expensive to help the villagers sell potatoes than to sell them locally?
There are also mutton and wolfberry, and soon the summer is over and it is autumn and winter, and her father will stew mutton soup every autumn and winter to make supplements, how many people in the country are like him?
"I saw a lot of sheep herding along the way, just you said that potatoes are in the harvest period, I want to come to the supply is not short, there is a government to take the lead in arranging logistics, it is still easy to sell, right?"
Seeing that she had something to say, Director Luo sighed.
"We have been doing this, but the sales just can't go up, and our county magistrate advertises on the Internet every year, and the effect is still not good."
Potatoes are available all over the country, and sheep and wolfberries are not the only ones in Ning Province, so it is difficult to sell them smoothly!
It can't be sold, and locally, it's a very common thing.
"Didn't you invite an Internet celebrity to bring the goods?"
Director Luo was very embarrassed: "We can't afford this." ”
Small Internet celebrities don't use it, big Internet celebrities ask for a high price, where do they find good people who don't want money to work for nothing?
If you want to have a big Internet celebrity in the local area, it's good to play the emotional card, but the problem is that there is no local one!
"Then what about inviting celebrities to bring the goods?"
Now, not only the people from the Poverty Alleviation Office looked at her, but everyone in the crew also looked at her like aliens.
It turns out that celebrities are not popular here.
I always feel that this is an Internet celebrity's business, and celebrities who do it are losing their jobs and being ashamed.
Looking back, Ni Bingyan said solemnly: "If you don't think I'm not famous enough, I'm willing to bring this goods to the local people!" ”
She doesn't have an agent now, and the contract signed by the company for her is also lenient, and she can make her own decisions about everything, this kind of poverty alleviation work, in her world, celebrities are rushing to do it!
No one has done it yet, and she is the first to come, maybe it's a good thing.
