A newly established film and television base attracted a large number of people: tourists, extras, vendors, and film crews. Among them was Jun Qiulan, who came from ancient times.
Others migh...
Chapter 152 Returning to China
The visa has been processed.
The brand has already scheduled the shooting time, and Jun Qiulan can't stand them up.
Besides, from being an ambassador to a spokesperson, the money paid is quite a lot.
We are about to confront the imperial court, and we don’t know how much money will be spent in the future.
A lot of modern things brought back from the capital can be sold.
However, you cannot sell them in large quantities at one time. If the quantity is too large, it will easily attract other people's attention.
In short, for them, the more money they have, the better.
The second issue is the identity of their family.
Master Qingheng had told him before that their foreign identities had been secured, and now all that was left was for Jun Qiulan to travel through time and bring them back from abroad.
I wonder if it was because a mysterious force saw his efforts to change the world and gave him some rewards?
The brand's shooting location happened to be in one of the cities in the country arranged by Grandpa Yan.
It’s a small, underdeveloped country, so Grandpa Yan’s approach is more manageable.
So he only needs to go abroad once to get things done.
It would take a few more days for Yan Jing's crew to finish filming, but Jun Qiulan couldn't wait for him, so he had to go ahead.
Originally, Liu Yue was going to go with him on this trip abroad, but since it was the first time for both of them to go abroad, Yan Jing was not at ease, so he arranged for his own assistant Tang Te to go with them.
When they arrived abroad, there were people who had been arranged by Grandpa Yan to pick them up.
In addition, the brand has contacted them and food and accommodation have been arranged.
Xu Su and Zhang Li, who were unaware of the situation, had no idea that Yan Jing's assistant was going with them, and they were extremely nervous before leaving.
I was worried that the two of them might encounter an accident when they went abroad.
The security conditions abroad are not as good as those at home. How should I put it? In terms of security, perhaps no country can compare to their own country.
Xu Su: "I don't know why, but my personal visa was blocked. You must be careful when traveling abroad and wear the translation glasses I bought for you."
But in fact, even if she went abroad, she wouldn't have played a big role.
Jun Qiulan felt warm in her heart: "Really, don't worry. Look, Director Yan's assistant is here."
He had said it once before, and Xu Su was skeptical.
Now that I see someone, I feel a little relieved.
"I'll leave our Lanlan to Mr. Tang's care."
Tang Te was also happy. Jun Qiulan's amateur troupe was very famous in the entire entertainment industry.
"Don't worry, Sister Xu. My boss has assigned me a task, and he will come to see us once the filming is finished."
The plane's engine roared. It was Jun Qiulan's first time traveling abroad, so she couldn't help but get excited.
The same goes for Liu Yue.
After several hours of flying, they finally arrived at their destination.
Before the plane landed and was still circling in the sky, Jun Qiulan had already felt the exotic atmosphere through the window.
Once you get off the plane, the feeling is even more different.
The brand responded and sent Jun Qiulan and the others directly to the hotel, and arranged time to discuss the filming.
Overall, it went relatively smoothly.
Although Liu Yue is an assistant, she also shoulders the responsibility of negotiating with the brand.
The shooting time was set to be seven days in total.
Of course, it can also be completed in advance.
The brand gave them a day to adjust to the time difference, and Tangte also arranged for them to go out for a walk and experience the exotic customs.
Jun Qiulan benefited a lot.
It was just a small country, not very developed, but it was incomparable to their ancient world.
There are also many areas that are worth learning from.
No, to be precise, it is the height they can reach in his lifetime if they work hard.
To say that the country's level of development can be achieved within his lifetime is nothing but a pipe dream.
Liu Yue also guessed something, "In fact, Lanlan can use the level of the 1960s and 1970s in China as a development goal."
Their country has only developed from a feudal society to the present day in just over a hundred years.
But the real huge changes actually started in the 1960s and 1970s, no, to be more precise, it started with the reform and opening up.
Jun Qiulan smiled and said, "Of course, this is our initial development goal."
You can't chew too much.
The filming started the next day.
It is indeed an international brand. It cannot be compared with the several advertising endorsements Jun Qiulan has shot before.
From makeup to shooting, everything is very strict.
Jun Qiulan actually has no professional photography training.
In today's entertainment industry, almost all artists will receive a series of training from their companies before their official debut.
Including expression management, taking photos, how to face the camera, etc.
Jun Qiulan could only rely on his own exploration and learning.
The photographer this time was a blue-eyed, bearded man with a bad temper.
But when he saw Jun Qiulan's appearance, his eyes lit up.
He called Jun Qiulan an oriental elf.
In this grassland full of primitive atmosphere, he was like an angel who had strayed into it.
Especially Jun Qiulan's long hair, which is as soft as silk, and through makeup, he has a beauty that is difficult to distinguish between male and female.
This also happens to be the inspiration for their new spring collection.
The camera teacher was mumbling something very quickly. Jun Qiulan's foreign language skills were only at an entry-level level, so she couldn't understand him at all.
Liu Yue only understood half of what he heard.
Tang Te acted as an interpreter. "The photography teacher asked you to move around and walk around a bit to experience the scene."
It's a bit abstract, but Jun Qiulan can understand it.
This made the shoot go a lot more smoothly.
Jun Qiulan didn't even need to pose or express her emotions in front of the camera.
Liu Yue came up to Tang Te and said, "Mr. Tang, you've worked really hard this time. If it weren't for you, Lanlan and I would be in the dark."
The brand arranged a translator, who was also a foreigner and didn't seem to like them very much.
When we were negotiating the shooting details, the translator was not diligent.
Fortunately, she and Lanlan could still understand some of it.
Tang Te: "You're welcome. If you want to know, Mr. Jun is also my boss's wife."
As Yan Jing's assistant, he was naturally the first to know about their relationship. Besides, he had already noticed the clues before his boss and Jun Qiulan were together.
Liu Yue couldn't help laughing, "Boss lady, Director Yan is also my boss lady."
Isn't it obvious that Donte doesn't want to argue with her about who is the boss lady?
On the fifth day of filming, Jun Qiulan had just finished the morning filming and had not had time to remove her makeup and change her clothes when she saw a familiar face.
"Yan Jing." Jun Qiulan trotted over, very surprised: "Didn't you say you wouldn't be here for two days?"
After going abroad, there was a big time difference between the two places, so the two of them could only contact each other in the morning and evening every day.
Jun Qiulan had been with Yan Jing almost every day for some time, so she was actually quite uncomfortable with the sudden separation.
Yan Jing smiled at his current look and said, "Very beautiful."
Jun Qiulan's face turned red. "You haven't told me why you came here so early."
"Since we've wrapped, of course we came straight over." Yan Jing said, "We've finished filming all the scenes. The assistant director and I checked all the shots overnight and confirmed that everything was correct, so we wrapped right away."
The footage shot previously had actually been edited a long time ago.
It's like shooting and editing at the same time, so if there's anything wrong, we can reshoot it in time.
There's no need to wait until filming is completed to discover something is wrong and then have to reshoot.
It will be very troublesome for both the crew and the actors.
Jun Qiulan nodded, and sighed: "I'm sorry to trouble you to accompany me in this round again."
Yan Jing half-closed his eyes: "You say that again."
Jun Qiulan just felt embarrassed.
Yan Jing nodded at his cheek: "If you want to thank me, why not kiss me."
"That's not good." There were still people on the set.
Yan Jing: "This is a foreign country, much more open than ours, and people are actually not familiar with us."
Jun Qiulan thought about it and agreed, so she quickly moved over and kissed Yan Jing on the cheek.
Liu Yue and Tang Te saw it from a distance and immediately felt a pang of annoyance.
"A short absence is better than a new marriage. Let's not disturb them."
Tang Te couldn't help laughing: "That's right, let's slip away first."
Yan Jing didn't expect that Jun Qiulan, with her personality, would actually kiss him in public. He was a little surprised and surprised.
I wanted to kiss him back, but it still felt wrong.
"How's the shoot going?"
Jun Qiulan's cheeks were still burning. "It went pretty smoothly. We originally planned to shoot for seven days, but it ended today."
Yan Jing: "Then I came too late and didn't see Lanlan's wonderful performance."
Jun Qiulan was a little helpless, "Why not just watch the finished film and photos when the time comes?"
What else could Yan Jing say, except that he still felt a little regretful.
Such a Lanlan is hard to come by.
New spring styles, the revival of all things, the combination of primitive and classical beauty.
Moreover, the makeup on Lanlan's face is almost impossible to see in ordinary times.
After thinking about it, he sent a message to Tangte.
Ask the crew for some behind-the-scenes footage.
Of course, these highlights generally cannot be circulated without permission.
But Yan Jing just wanted to keep it for his own collection.
A few more shots were taken in the afternoon, so even if it was completely over, Yan Jing didn't miss it completely.
After the shooting was completed, I also communicated with the brand.
This time, the more professional Yan Jing came forward.
Most people abroad are somewhat face-blind to Chinese people, but Yan Jing's appearance is too outstanding.
The brand manager asked a few more questions, asking if Yan Jing was also an artist.
After getting the answer that he was the director, I was a little surprised and shocked.
After separating from the brand, Jun Qiulan rarely made a few sarcastic remarks.
"How about it, Director Yan, how about satisfying your fans' expectations and just making your debut?"
Yan Jing smiled and said, "Will you sign me up for your amateur troupe?"
Jun Qiulan nodded pretentiously: "Don't tell me, if you sign with my studio, I will never have to worry about not making money in my life."
What a great gimmick.
But that's just talk.
After the filming is over, they will go about their business.
The driver drove all the way and took them to a very remote place.
"This is?"
Yan Jing: "Grandpa bought a farm here before, and it's already in your father's name, so we can have an explanation later."
The people hired are all local farmers, and they have never seen the real boss.
I only know that the boss is Chinese.
Jun Qiulan: "Grandpa Yan is spending money again."
"Why are you saying this?" Yan Jing squeezed his hand. "Recently, he and Third Grandpa have been drinking tea and chatting together every day. Both of them are in much better spirits."
Especially my third grandfather.
If it weren’t for Jun Qiulan, Grandpa would probably never have been able to see his family in this lifetime.
Although my grandfather has the same ability, he is old and doesn't know the situation over there. He is also worried that if he goes there rashly, it will bring disaster to the Yan family.
This has been the knot in my grandfather's heart for his entire life. If another unexpected situation happens, I'm afraid he will never be able to rest in peace until his death.
Even if there are no more accidents, we still have to consider my grandfather's age and whether he can still withstand the hustle and bustle of ancient times.
And grandpa can't take people through time, so how can they, his children and grandchildren, feel at ease letting grandpa go to the ancient world alone?
You know, if it weren't for Jun Qiulan, if Yan Jing knew his grandfather's origins, he would never have let his grandfather go on the ancient adventure of eating raw meat and drinking blood.
What? Is eighty the right age to go out and explore the world?
Not to mention him, there is no way grandma would agree to it.
Grandpa is very glad that he met Jun Qiulan.
Many things seem to be destined.
The place was arranged, and Jun Qiulan traveled back that night and brought everyone over.
Everyone changed into modern clothes in advance. Although it was a little uncomfortable, they were able to adapt.
Yan Jing greeted Jun Qiulan's family members one by one.
You know what, I was quite nervous.
These are all of Jun Qiulan's family members, and they are all looking at Yan Jing.
Of course, they all knew about Jun Qiulan's boyfriends. They learned the word "boyfriend" from Jun Shuwan.
Except for Jun Qiulan's parents and younger sister, the other family members were actually a little awkward when facing Yan Jing.
However, Yan Jing has a high emotional intelligence. Even though he knew everyone's attitude towards him, he didn't show anything. Instead, he made everyone feel warm and comfortable.
I also got to know Yan Jing indirectly.
Song Xiang, Jun Qiulan's grandfather, is now considered the head of the family.
"This matter is indeed troublesome to Mr. Yan."
"Grandpa, you don't have to be polite to me. We will all be family from now on. Besides, I am also half a Dasheng person."
Regarding Yan Jing's life experience, or to be more precise, Grandpa Yan's background, Jun Qiulan told his father about it after returning to the border town.
Jun Yu was actually surprised as well.
Mainly because I didn't expect it at all.
It was because of Grandpa Yan's experience that Jun Yu had a different opinion of Yan Jing.
In the past, he and his wife often worried about what they would do if their son could never come back.
But Old Man Yan Huai is already at this age, and his ability to travel through time has not disappeared, so they don’t have to worry about their son not coming back in the future.
Everyone took it.
Yan Jing also prepared learning videos for them in advance.
Jun Qiulan had asked everyone to learn more about this world before, but none of the learning videos were as detailed as the one prepared by Yan Jing.
After watching it, everyone will have a new concept of this new world, and at least it won’t be so easy to be exposed when you go out.
After completing your studies, you can go through the procedures to return to your country.
The confidant arranged by Tangte and Grandpa led the family to the relevant departments here for several days to handle all the procedures.
Not to mention, although this family are all ancient people and they know that this is a foreign country, they are still quite calm when they go out.
No matter what new things they see, they behave as usual.
Jun Qiulan also breathed a sigh of relief.
“Thanks to your learning videos.”
Yan Jing: "Actually, they've already learned and understood from the materials you gave them before. And to be honest, they've experienced demotion, exile, and many other hardships. What does this mean now?"
Come to think of it, it is indeed the case.
Jun Qiulan smiled, leaned over and kissed Yan Jing, "Thank you for that. I know you don't like to hear it."
Yan Jing nodded at his other cheek and said, "I want this side too."
The two of them are very sweet.
These days, out of consideration for the presence of elders and elderly people, Jun Qiulan and Yan Jing slept separately.
The main thing is that Yan Jing always remembers that Lanlan in their family is an ancient person, and their elders are completely ancient people. There are many ancient customs.
He couldn't let Lanlan's elders think they were too frivolous.
So I can only hide away and eat occasionally.
After all the formalities are completed, it is time to prepare to return home.
"Before we go back, let's bring back another batch of grain, which can be used as seeds." When Yan Jing said this, he had actually already made the arrangements.
"What kind of food?"
They now have potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn, all of which are high-yielding.
There are enough sweet potatoes. Several nearby states will be able to promote their planting this year, and by next year, nationwide promotion will not be a problem.
There are still some potatoes and corns left, so Jun Qiulan plans to go to Liu Yue's house after returning home to buy another batch to use as seeds.
In short, as long as we get through this year, the distribution of these grains will be enough for the people to have enough to eat, and they will no longer have to worry about stomach problems.
In addition, Jun Qiulan talked to his father before going abroad.
The people Duan Wen sent out last year to look for Champa rice have sent back news that the food has been found.
Because the journey is long, they are being transported to the border town in batches.
By then they will be able to grow high-yield rice themselves.
With modern research experience, they can be considered as copying homework.
There is no need to reach a yield of more than 2,000 kilograms per mu of land, only 700 to 800 kilograms per mu of land is needed. According to modern production standards, this is doubled.
Moreover, this grain can be harvested twice a year in some areas.
By then, there will be no need to worry about the people going hungry.
When people have enough food to eat, they will have more energy to develop other things.
To study, to do business...
At this moment, Yan Jing asked him to take food back, which surprised Jun Qiulan.
Yan Jing: "It's cassava. It has a high yield and is more filling than sweet potatoes or potatoes. It just requires a little more of a growing environment. I figured since you'll be occupying other cities one after another, you'd better give them some benefits to reassure the people."
Jun Qiulan smiled: "You are really thoughtful."
In a rebellion, generally speaking, it is enough for the army to occupy the city and deal with the local officials.
Later, local officials arranged their own people to take over, and then slowly did ideological work among the people before carrying out development.
Yan Jing allowed Jun Qiulan to see another angle.
From the perspective of the people.
Emperors of all dynasties did implement a policy of keeping the people ignorant, and the people did not care who became emperor.
But the people also have their own thoughts.
The world that Jun Qiulan and the others are pursuing is not like this now.
If they want the people to willingly follow their reforms and development, they must let the people see the tangible benefits at the first moment.
Food is a breakthrough.
Jun Qiulan thought for a moment, "Then, after I return, I will have to order more grain seeds."
Yan Jing couldn't help laughing. "Just the two of us, how much can we move? We'll see based on the actual situation. Besides food, didn't you also get some farm manure and the like? These can also make the people feel the change."
In addition to these, there are also agricultural tools.
For something more advanced and labor-saving, they just need to find the blueprints and go to ancient times to find craftsmen to build it.
At that time, they will officially build a batch and then rent them to the people at a low price.
When the people have money, a village or a clan will purchase it themselves.
And there are cows.
Cattle were also extremely important in ancient times, as they could bring more advanced breeding techniques.
It allows cows to give birth to more calves and helps the calves grow up healthily.
In short, all aspects must develop.
Jun Qiulan nodded. "After we get back, our core members will have a meeting. Will you come along? From your perspective as a modern person, could you offer us some suggestions?"
Yan Jing agreed and asked, "Has there been any action in the capital?"
They were chased all the way. The emperor knew that they were rebelling before, but he did not take any action. However, it was impossible for other princes and relatives to not take action.
Jun Qiulan: "According to the news passed on by General Huo's old friends, the relatives of several princes have shown a rare unity and have already petitioned the emperor to send troops, but the emperor's attitude is very vague."
That is, he did not agree, but he did not completely oppose it either.
Yan Jing also thought about it and said, "Let's talk about it after we get back."
The two men emptied the cassava from two warehouses overnight.
It can be said that I am very tired.
Now that everything is done, it's time to go home.
Considering that this was the first time for the whole family to take a plane, even if there were not many abnormalities in their daily behavior, the plane was still different.
For ancient people, those who could go to heaven must be gods.
Grandpa Yan was an experienced person, so he sent a private plane directly and applied for a flight.
The family boarded the plane and soared into the blue sky.
There were no flight attendants on the plane.
Apart from serving them food and water, everyone just sat in their seats and didn't ask any further questions.
Yan Jing said that these people were all mountain girls that his grandfather had supported in the past.
Halfway through the flight, Jun Qiulan's little cousin couldn't help it.
"Cousin, we really flew into the sky. Are we gods?"
Jun Qiulan said with a smile: "No, it's not a god, it's the power of technology."
The word "technology" left a mark in the hearts of a group of ancient people.
It's amazing.
Before, when they were in that small country, they could remain calm when going out to handle procedures or riding in a car. When they saw those high-tech things, they didn’t quite understand them, but they didn’t show any abnormality.
The plane was different, it was so shocking.
Especially the feeling of weightlessness at the moment of taking off almost made them scream out loud.
Thanks to Jun Qiulan and Yan Jing for explaining it to them again and again before departure, otherwise they would have been exposed in front of the flight attendants.
Jun Qiulan also felt emotional.
One day, they too will fly into the blue sky.
