Chapter 123 Differences

Qingfeng Temple.

There was a constant stream of tourists. Although Jun Qiulan was fully armed, he was still recognized by a few cute little fans when he entered the door.

The little fan excitedly said, "I originally thought you were filming. We went up the mountain just to check in, but we didn't expect to run into you."

Jun Qiulan smiled. "I'm filming. I had something urgent to do, so I went up the mountain. I have to go back to the crew soon."

Little fan: "When will your movie be released?"

Jun Qiulan pondered for a moment and said, "I guess we'll have to wait until next year."

Given Yan Jing's meticulousness, it was considered a success if the filming was completed during the Chinese New Year.

Later stages require editing, music composition, and submission for review.

Even if it is faster, it will probably be after May Day next year.

The little fan nodded excitedly: "We will definitely go to the cinema to support you."

Another commented, "Speaking of which, when other movies and TV series are filming, there are tons of leaks and promotional photos. How come your crew has nothing?"

So when they left, they only knew that it was a costume movie and knew nothing else.

Jun Qiulan couldn't help laughing: "If you ask me, I can't tell you."

The young fans were also laughing so hard, obviously they all knew the personality of director Yan Jing.

Jun Qiulan chatted with them for a few more minutes, took photos with them, and signed autographs before leaving.

When Jun Qiulan found Master Qingheng, he was not surprised at all. He was eating fried food again.

Fried foods do make people happy, but eating too much is not healthy.

Jun Qiulan was about to speak when he was interrupted by Qingheng.

"At my age, I should be able to eat whatever I want."

Jun Qiulan was quite helpless, but had nothing to refute.

"Master, I tried to lead someone through time travel, but failed..."

He told Qingheng the entire experimental process in detail.

Qing Heng waved his hand, then calculated with his grease-stained fingers: "Your guess is correct. You can bring people, but there are limits. After all, you are also an ancient royal family. With a single call from a high place, hundreds of thousands of soldiers will be under your command. If you have evil intentions and bring the entire army here, wouldn't the world be in chaos?"

Even though the technological and military levels of the two worlds are extremely different and almost not in the same dimension, the people are innocent.

The ancient armies were not managed as strictly as modern armies. In ancient times, many people who served in the army became bandits.

Just a bandit in armor.

Jun Qiulan also suddenly realized that he had never thought about this kind of thing at all. The only thing he wanted was to leave a way out for his family.

Then letting Wan'er come to learn medicine was also to improve the medical level in ancient times.

Furthermore, this world is so peaceful and the people live and work in peace and contentment. If one wants to destroy such a world, even falling into the eighteen levels of hell will not be enough to eliminate his sins.

After getting the answer from Master Qingheng, Jun Qiulan felt more at ease.

"By the way, Master, I may need to order some food."

Qing Heng waved his hand: "For matters like this, just go find your senior brother."

"That's a bit much. I estimate it'll take about one million kilograms. We'll probably have to buy the cheapest grain."

He had previously taken the initiative to propose reducing some agricultural taxes, which made the people happy, but General Huo would suffer from a food shortage.

Especially since war is about to break out, and we don’t know how much food can be sent from the capital, it would be better to take the food back while there is still time, just to be prepared.

He has to pay for the food himself.

Qing Heng raised his eyes and glanced at him: "Are you out of money?"

Jun Qiulan was slightly embarrassed. "I'm planning to bring my family over. I bought a house in Fengcheng and need to buy furniture and appliances. I don't have much money left."

This was because Yan Jing paid him all the salary in advance.

Qing Heng didn't say anything and called Sheng Hongyan directly.

"Okay, we'll deliver them to the warehouse we left in batches."

Jun Qiulan: "How much money did you spend? I will transfer it to you."

Master Qingheng has helped him enough. It is impossible for him to ask his master to pay for one million kilograms of food out of his own pocket.

Qing Heng spread his hands and said, "I'm old now and have more money than I can spend. So what if I spend some money on my apprentice?"

This is quite arrogant.

In fact, Qingheng didn't spend any money. Yan Huai had told him before that if Jun Qiulan needed help, and it could be solved with money, he would pay for it.

The Yan family, whether in ancient times or in modern times, can be considered a wealthy family.

Yan Huai basically guessed what Jun Qiulan might be going to do through the words he asked him. In a disguised way, through Jun Qiulan, he could also change the various situations of other members of the Yan family.

Jun Qiulan didn't know the inside story. He opened his mouth but had no idea what to say.

After thinking about it, I can only record this account for the time being.

After solving the two major issues, Jun Qiulan originally wanted to help out in the Taoist temple, but when he walked to the front, he was recognized by several waves of fans, and then was driven down the mountain by Qingheng.

After Jun Qiulan came down the mountain, he was still a little confused.

After thinking about it, he asked Liu Yue to help him deliver the injected calf to the warehouse, and he also gave Liu Yue the key to the warehouse.

As for himself, he returned to the crew.

"Come pick me up from the set later and take me to the warehouse."

"I understand." Liu Yue agreed without saying anything, and roughly knew what was going on.

When Jun Qiulan carried Jun Bai back to the crew, the crew was very lively.

Everyone was talking about the calligraphy and paintings that Jun Qiulan brought today.

It is a well-known fact that Jun Qiulan has good attainments in calligraphy. As for Mr. Yan Geng, the only works that have been passed down are folding fans.

But I didn't expect that today's big box would be filled with large-scale calligraphy and paintings, so beautiful that it would make people forget to breathe.

The words and paintings are integrated perfectly.

There are paintings in the characters and there are characters in the paintings.

To be honest, if Yan Jing hadn't said that this was the work of Teacher Jun Qiulan, and they had seen it with their own eyes, if they had only looked at the photos, they would have suspected that it was synthesized by AI.

No, even AI synthesis cannot reach this level.

"Where's the cow?" Qu Feng came over and asked, and took Jun Bai away. "Hey, big fat boy, come here and call uncle. Uncle will give you some canned food."

Jun Baisong: "Meow~!"

This little clip, Jun Qiulan held his forehead.

I just had a big meal at Grandpa Yan's today.

"The cow has been sent back." Jun Qiulan said, "I hope you won't bring cows to the crew next time."

Fortunately, their crew did a good job of keeping secrets, otherwise, what would it mean for a popular actor like him to go out and lead a cow?

It's really a bit too down-to-earth.

After a while, Yan Jing also came over, and without blinking, he snatched Jun Baisong from Qu Feng's arms.

"Come on, Dad will take you to wear new clothes."

Qu Feng: “???”

Okay, just a quick sip.

The sugar is already in your mouth, but you still don't eat it. That would be really ungrateful.

I've heard before that Yan Jing is gay and that he had an affair with actor Fu Xiao. Now I know that they are actually uncle and nephew, so I can't support him.

As for Jun Qiulan, when he met Jun Qiulan, Jun Qiulan was still not smart.

Now he could see some clues. Of course, he didn't expect that Jun Qiulan would be gay.

Yan Jing hugged Jun Qiulan and said, "Come with me."

Jun Qiulan had no choice but to follow him, and Qu Feng winked at him.

It made him quite embarrassed.

In fact, he knew that he was being treated differently, and the people on the crew could see it too.

But most people think that they already know each other and it is normal for them to have a good relationship as friends.

There will still be a small group, such as Qu Feng and Sister Du Ruo.

Yan Jing: "The finance department will transfer the payment for the calligraphy and painting to you later."

Jun Qiulan nodded. This was a work that his father had taken the time and effort to create. He had no reason to use it to do a favor.

"Jun Baisong has grown stronger." Yan Jing added, "The role assigned to Jun Baisong is the one where you were demoted."

Jun Qiulan smiled and said, "Why? Jun Baisong wants to be demoted with me?"

"That's not the case." Yan Jing also laughed: "It's just a contrast. One moment, you were drinking tea and petting cats in the garden, and the next moment you became a prisoner."

Jun Qiulan understood. This was the so-called contrast in the picture.

"I'll have the finance department pay you the film remuneration that Jun Bai gave you."

Jun Qiulan laughed dumbly: "I'm not that short of money, I just bought a house."

Yan Jing didn't say much, "As for whether your teacher needs money for something, I don't know. Anyway, if you need it, tell me."

He was curious too.

I asked Jun Qiulan several times if anything had happened, but he always said nothing was wrong.

He has been taking leave frequently recently and asked him to adjust his filming schedule, but Jun Qiulan has not accepted any notice.

After thinking about it, there is still something going on.

He was worried that Jun Qiulan was too shy to talk to him when he encountered difficulties.

"By the way, did grandpa say anything today?"

"No." Jun Qiulan chatted with Grandpa Yan and Grandma Fu as usual, but before, the content of his chats with Grandpa Yan was mostly related to his father, and today he showed more concern for him.

Yan Jingzhi nodded. He just felt that his grandfather had been acting weird lately.

I really don’t know what little secret these grandfather and grandson have.

"Alright, think about your demotion scene recently. From a favored child of heaven to someone who falls from grace, you have to capture this change in your state of mind accurately."

Jun Qiulan thought to himself that he had already experienced it once personally.

In fact, when people say he is talented, it is better to say that this role is a perfect fit for him.

"Okay, you don't have a role today, go and do your own thing. Jun Baisong will be sent to me for a few days."

He has been in Fengcheng for so long, and he only feeds stray cats occasionally. It has been a long time since he had a chubby kitten to suck on.

Jun Qiulan simply didn't know what to say.

However, Jun Baisong was originally given to him by Yan Jing, and Yan Jing himself was also a cat lover, so he could rest assured in leaving him to Yan Jing.

If my parents can't see Jun Baisong for a few days, they will probably blame him a lot.

Thinking of this, the smile on his face became even brighter.

Yan Jing was dodged by him and carried Jun Bai to direct the play.

But Jun Qiulan still didn't leave.

Anyway, there is nothing to do today, and his main event is about to begin, so it is better to watch more.

From the beginning of filming to now, the actors and staff from all sides have almost gotten used to each other.

The shooting progress is much faster than at the beginning.

In the first few days of filming, we would sometimes spend the entire day reshooting just to polish a shot of just a few seconds.

In fact, this is also a great test for the actor's mentality.

Especially those veteran actors, they have their own set of acting skills, which are also recognized by the industry.

But when it comes to Yan Jing, he may not be able to pass the test and can only keep grinding.

Jun Qiulan watched for a while, thought about it, and then went to the dance studio to practice dancing for a while.

In the following days, he almost always showed up on time on the set, and he was never late or left early.

Watch Yan Jing filming, watch other actors perform, and then go practice dancing.

Everything that happened here in ancient times has been explained almost completely.

As for the matter of bringing people through time, Jun Qiulan put it on hold and didn't really let his younger sister be the experimental subject.

He was also waiting for news from Master Qingheng.

It is said that they can get a foreign identity, but with such a large family, there will probably be a lot of trouble.

Especially in today's advanced era, if you are not careful, you may be exposed.

It’s better to be cautious.

As for time travel, it’s not too late to experiment after your identity is confirmed.

Fortunately, Wan'er and her mother have recently been organizing a girls' school to learn about women's physiology and hygiene, and are not in a hurry to experiment with time travel.

Jun Qiulan is a man, and he roughly knows what women's menstruation is, but he has never understood this before.

It was only these days, after my younger sister and mother gave me some explanations, that I finally understood a lot.

It turns out that women have such hard work.

In the ancient world, women's health issues have always been a taboo.

My mother said that in the past, when women lived in the capital, if they felt unwell, they could find female doctors or pharmacists who specialized in gynecology.

In a border town, if a girl feels unwell, she can at most rely on the female elders in her family to teach her some advice.

But often, some experiences are wrong.

Jun Qiulan felt that what her mother and younger sister did this time was really meaningful.

Let girls understand themselves and love themselves more.

At the same time, all the brothels in the city were wiped out by Senior Brother Duan Wen.

After asking the girls and boys what they wanted, if they were willing, they would follow Mrs. Huo to make clothes for the soldiers.

It just so happened that the cotton seeds that Jun Qiulan gave to Mrs. Huo last year had already been grown by Boss Ruan, and were brought back in truckloads, as white as snow.

Softer than the wool in the border town.

It just so happened that the girls who were taken in had a place to use their talents.

However, this cotton is a new item and is not yet available on the market. Before it becomes popular, it still has to take the high-end route.

Let’s make some money first.

Otherwise, where do they get the money to subsidize so much military expenditure every year?

Fortunately, the glass they collaborated with Duan Wen on this year also helped them make a lot of money.

In addition, the charity in the city also needs a few people to help take care of the elderly and homeless children.

My mother and Senior Brother Duan’s wife also hired a few people to work as odd jobs in school or at home.

All of them are employment contracts, not indentures.

If they really don't want to, Duan Wen has prepared a resettlement fee for them so that they can find a new way to make a living in the future.

It’s very good to be able to do this.

The brothel in the city, Nanfengguan, was also converted into a brothel.

As for the liberation of the lowest class of women, they have made a start.

At the same time, Huo Lian also found an evening and went to Jun Qiulan's house in person.

The production of gunpowder was very successful.

Huo Lian was amazed at the power of gunpowder. With such a powerful weapon, why should he fear the war with Rongdi?

If a few bombs were dropped, the Rongdi soldiers would probably be scared to death.

By then the formation will be in disarray. Are you still afraid that you won’t be able to kill him and make a river of blood?

The Rong and Di people are really hateful. They launch small-scale invasions every year, but are unwilling to have a real fight with them.

Maybe he was still afraid of Huo Lian.

After all, since Huo Lian took charge of the border army, he has never been defeated in the wars with Rongdi in the past ten years.

This year, the Rong and Di people are probably out of options. The drought has forced them to take action, otherwise they will die.

It just so happens that this year we can avenge the people who died at the hands of the Rong and Di people in previous years.

At the same time, the express letter of 800 miles sent to the court should have arrived at the court.

It is true that the court is in a state of chaos.

However, they did not dare to take lightly the urgent matter of eight hundred miles.

If they are not careful, the Rong and Di peoples will invade the country and the country will be torn apart. Then what will be the point of the power they are fighting for now?

As expected, the old emperor who had not attended court for a long time came out. According to the superstition of Huo Lian's old friends, the old emperor was probably really dying, as his beard had turned gray.

The food and fodder were also taken away, but as usual, they were insufficient in number, and some were even inferior in quality.

But Jun Qiulan and Huo Lian have the same attitude, something is better than nothing.

The one million kilograms of grain ordered by Jun Qiulan were also delivered in several batches.

But Jun Qiulan was very tired.

However, Huo Lian even teased him, saying that he was now a porter between two worlds.

The food and fodder provided by the court is already on the way, which means that the military supervisor is also on the way.

As military supervisor, the emperor sent a young official, about thirty years old, who had won the third place in the imperial examination six years ago. He had just returned to Beijing from his exile and was entrusted with the important task.

This matter needs to be handled properly.

After Jun Qiulan discussed with Huo Lian, they invited Su Changxun over.

Su Changxun was not idle at all. He had read the most books, had a mobile phone in his hand, and understood more ideas. It just so happened that his appeal made it possible for everyone to listen to his "brainwashing".

The reason why we invited Su Changxun here this time was for the same reason.

Among the scholars, there are few who do not admire Su Changxun.

Even if they have different political views, they will not belittle Su Changxun's abilities and knowledge.

What they meant was that they wanted Su Changxun to adopt a conciliatory policy towards the military supervisor and give him gentle persuasion, hoping that the supervisor would understand their ideas and join their big family.

Their makeshift team is still short of manpower.

Su Changxun stroked his beard, not knowing what to say, so he just agreed.

Of course, Huo Lian and Duan Wen also had certain arrangements for the military supervisor.

What if the military supervisor refused to listen? They would always intercept the information that needed to be intercepted.

Can delay it a little longer.

Jun Qiulan's two uncles have also settled down in the city and bought two shops. Their business just happened to be connected with the sales of goods at the girls' school.

It is still mainly sold to other places.

It just so happened that when they came here before, the brothers from their hometown who followed them to do business were able to continue in this industry.

You have to make money after all.

As for Jun Qiulan, he doesn’t have to worry about ancient affairs for the time being, as his big show is about to start again.

Demoted.

Having personally experienced being demoted, such a role was easy for him to handle.

At least, that's what he thought, and the other actors in the crew also recognized his performance.

But Yan Jing shook his head.

This was the first time that Jun Qiulan and Yan Jing had a disagreement on acting.

Before, Yan Jing would criticize Jun Qiulan's performance, saying that Jun Qiulan could improve in some areas and perform better. Jun Qiulan would always accept the comments humbly, and then think about it and perfectly complete the tasks assigned by Yan Jing.

But this time it's different.

Jun Qiulan did not listen to Yan Jing's opinions and even refuted them a few times.

"This character doesn't give me that feeling. He was suddenly demoted, his family was beheaded, their property was confiscated, and he was exiled. He himself was also destined to fall into that kind of situation. He was a little frightened, but he should have expected it."

No big tree withers in an instant.

In the play, the father of the character played by Jun Qiulan is also a capable man. When they were involved in this dispute, they should have expected it.

There will be both good and bad expectations.

No one can always be in control.

Jun Qiulan said: "At this moment, my character's emotions should be a bit bewildered. Everything was obviously moving in a good direction, but it has come to this. Besides fear, there must be hatred and confusion in his eyes."

It was because of one wrong move that he ended up like this.

There is no right or wrong.

The game of chess in the court cannot be explained clearly in just a few words.

Yan Jing's intention was to make the fear in Jun Qiulan's eyes deeper.

After all, the character played by Jun Qiulan is the most famous handsome man in the capital. In addition to his beauty, he is also knowledgeable and has a good family background.

His father was beheaded, his family was exiled, and he was about to be imprisoned in the Jiaofangsi. One could imagine the inhuman torture he would suffer, but this was the imperial decree issued by the new emperor, and he could not die.

As for such a nobleman, he is proud, but he is also a flesh-and-blood person and will definitely be afraid.

There must be a bit more fear in his eyes.

Yan Jing felt that there was less fear in Jun Qiulan's eyes, and more of a different emotion.

When the onlookers heard this, they realized that what both people said was actually correct.

It's probably because the two people have different understandings of this role.

Yan Jing is the creator of this character, and Jun Qiulan is the performer of this character.

Both of them are inextricably linked to this character.

The two discussed this issue for a long time, but they couldn't come up with an accurate conclusion.

No one can completely convince the other.

Jun Qiulan rarely lost her composure, and her cheeks were a little red.

He had personally experienced being exiled to a cold and harsh place like a border town. He was certainly afraid, but he was more confused about the future.

It also implicated parents and relatives.

When the journey was the most difficult, he even snatched food from a dog's mouth.

A child of destiny fell from grace to dust. No one present understood him more deeply than he did.

Yan Jing rarely broke his principles, but he finally softened his heart.

He didn't expect Jun Qiulan to be so persistent.
