With so many people on set, Liu Yun simply chartered a plane to go directly to the film set.

Fortunately, those who could get over there were already there; Liu Yun's group was actually the last one to cross.

After getting off the plane, someone was already there to pick us up in a film crew car.

All I can say is that this is an obscure county town.

Liu Yun didn't really want to go to famous places to film, mainly because there were too many people, and in this era of short videos, everyone knew about the scenery and had seen it too many times.

Virtual tourism is still quite popular.

Small towns have fewer tourists, but they also have unique scenery.

With so many people, it's impossible to go deep into the desert to film; as long as the environment and terrain are suitable for filming, that's enough.

It took seven or eight hours to drive from the airport to the small county town, and everyone who arrived was exhausted.

Song Xingfei yawned, her eyes almost closing. "Why is it so far? I've never felt this remote when I traveled to the mural area before."

Feifei wasn't very clear-headed either. "Along the way, let alone people, most of the time we couldn't even see buildings. It's really... so remote."

The county town isn't very big, but it has several hotels, all of which have been rented by the film crew.

The hotel owner was naturally delighted with such a large order and even offered a discount.

They also agreed to provide a place for the crew to prepare their own meals.

Liu Yun told everyone to rest, and then went back to her room.

When Liu Yun woke up the next day, she was met with the astonishment of a group of people.

Song Xingfei was puzzled: "These places are usually short of water, but the hotel is almost the same as outside. You can wash and shower anytime, and there are no restrictions on water usage."

"That's strange. The places we used to visit weren't even as close to the desert as this small county town, so why are they so short of water?"

Feifei: "I asked the boss, and he said that the renovation was only done this year. It seems that they suddenly found a water source and there is no shortage of water. Every household has installed water pipes, which has brought about a huge change in life compared to previous years."

"The water bill isn't expensive, it's only a little more expensive than outside, but not by much."

"But the water price outside is going down, so when you add it all up, it's actually not expensive."

After eating breakfast, Liu Yun felt that Chef Li's cooking skills seemed to have improved again, perhaps because his abilities had increased!

It seems that the country is already working on transforming desert areas.

With the successful purification of wastewater and other types of water resources, at least domestic water supply is no longer a problem.

The amount of drinking water is relatively small, so it is sourced as much as possible from nearby locations and delivered from neighboring areas. At the beginning of this year, the people in the small county felt that their lives had improved significantly and that they had embarked on a path to happiness.

Therefore, the people in the county town are always cheerful, with smiles on their faces.

Some people knew Liu Yun and were familiar with the film crew, and those with quick minds thought that immense wealth might be about to befall their family.

Oh, no, perhaps it's a blessing for the entire county.

At noon, Liu Yun met with the county's top official and his team of leaders.

The group was friendly and said that they could ask for anything they needed, and the officials would provide everything they could.

They all knew that once this movie was released, their county's tourism industry might experience a sudden surge in popularity.

The film crew is a real lucky charm for the county!

While they were complimenting each other, Song Xingfei suddenly came in from outside: "Xiaoyun, it's unbelievable! The greenery in this county is beyond imagination. I can't believe some of the old photos..."

Song Xingfei coughed and said, "Excuse me, I didn't know you had guests."

Her eyesight was fine, so she could naturally tell that the group of people were likely to be extraordinary individuals.

The top leader said, "It's alright, we won't bother you any longer, Mr. Liu. Please contact us if you need anything."

Liu Yun stood up. "Okay, thank you for your support."

There's no need to say anything else; we can talk when we need to.

The second-in-command smiled and looked at Song Xingfei: "The country has discovered a type of plant that can grow rapidly in the desert. Our county is the last place to live before entering the desert, and it is also one of the first pilot areas. In just one month, the environment has changed dramatically."

"Director Liu and the crew can explore the county town more. As for the movie, they can also shoot some altered scenes."

"Our county town is not as terrible as everyone imagines. Now, with water and greenery, it will soon be like other parts of the country."

Song Xingfei: "Oh, I see."

I was shocked.

A type? Not a single kind?

This quantifier is quite amazing!

After exchanging a few more words, the group left. Song Xingfei was still somewhat dazed. "That secretary just said... Category One? What did that mean?"

Liu Yun: "...When you went out just now, did you see that the greenery outside only had one or a few types of plants?"

Song Xingfei suddenly realized: "No, there are indeed many."

"If the journey here yesterday hadn't been so long, I would have thought we weren't in a desert county."

The county town completely overturned her impression of this type of city, so she was particularly surprised and rushed back to tell Liu Yun, hoping that such a big change would not hinder the filming.

Hearing Song Xingfei's concerns, Liu Yun nodded: "I've seen the information sent back by the crew members who came earlier, and I understand the changes."

"It's alright. There's plenty of data and videos about the county's past topography, which can be reconstructed using technology."

"It won't affect filming."

It's just that the percentage of special effects is higher.

She has a cheat code; when she uses it, the audience might not even realize it's a special effect.

Song Xingfei: "Now I finally understand why you rushed to film this. Our country is amazing! We can even discover this type of plant. Does that mean deserts will no longer exist in the future?"

Xiaoyun is truly remarkable; she even got the news in advance.

Otherwise, why would there be such a rush?

Liu Yun: "Well... for the sake of terrain diversity, we'll probably leave one area untouched."

Song Xingfei paused for a moment: "That's not the point, okay?"

These leaders came and went, and the crew gained an extra secretary, Tang.

It's for easy contact when needed.

During dinner that evening, Liu Yun invited Secretary Tang along. Secretary Tang, acting mysteriously and rubbing his hands awkwardly, asked, "Director Liu, my girlfriend is a fan of yours. Would it be convenient... for her to get an autograph?"

Liu Yun: ...This way of asking for autographs is quite an unusual experience.

"Where should we sign?" He suddenly became interested and even glanced at Secretary Tang.

To everyone's surprise, Secretary Tang took out a...red T-shirt from the bag at her feet?

Upon closer inspection, it looks like merchandise sold on Yunzhao.com!

The front of the T-shirt also features an image of the Empress Dowager wearing court attire and adorned with numerous headdresses.

Liu Yun: ...I finally understand the awkwardness of being socially dead.

Secretary Tang also handed over a black, thick-tipped pen for signing.

The preparations were so thoughtful!

In the end, Liu Yun accepted the pen and signed the document.

Unexpectedly, after signing one item, Secretary Tang took out a white one from the cardboard bag, which looked like the Empress Dowager's everyday clothes.

Liu Yun: ...I was careless. I didn't ask how much we were going to sign beforehand.
