There is nothing in the village except a lot of land, but most of it is arable land. Except for what the government allows, the arable land cannot be used for any other purpose.
However, many lands are not fertile enough. If they are used to grow crops, not only will manpower and material resources be wasted, but the harvest will also be small.
Because of the success of An Jingzhi's first film, he was finally granted the land.
The construction of the film and television base has created a lot of jobs in this area, and has also boosted the surrounding villages, providing an additional job that is profitable and close to home.
After the movie was broadcast, it also boosted tourism in Xiaoan Village.
Each of these things is good for the government.
The villagers got rid of the label of poor village on their own without their help, and the government was so happy that it couldn't contain itself.
Ever since tourists started coming to the village one after another, Uncle An Liu and Wu Wenping became nervous.
Now they have also started to have the burden of being idols, especially Uncle An Liu, who used to spit and curse everywhere, but now he calls himself a cultured person.
The weather here is quite hot, so wearing one piece of clothing is enough. However, he insisted on digging out the old-fashioned Zhongshan suit that was hidden in the bottom of the box, and even pinned a pen on the collar of the suit.
When he has nothing to do, he strolls around the village with his hands behind his back. When he meets tourists, he takes photos with them with a smile and listens to some compliments from his fans.
Wu Wenping used to be a careless person, but now he even treats slaughtering pigs as something high-end and solemn, with a full sense of ritual.
I don't know where he got a white chef's uniform and a tall chef's hat from.
When the pig is being slaughtered, it looks a bit weird.
But fans also like to see him look funny.
After all, this is the character in Wu Wenping's movie.
After seeing the situation in the village, Hu Chengming said it was no exaggeration to say that there had been earth-shaking changes.
"It was thanks to Senior Brother Hu's joining us that Xiao'an Village wouldn't be what it is today."
After receiving the subsequent box office share, he gave Hu Chengming a red envelope of 100,000 yuan. Of course, it was definitely not as much as other people's film remuneration, but it was also his way of showing his appreciation.
Hu Chengming waved his hand and said, "I don't take the credit for this. Your film has been truly tested by the audience and the market."
"Even without me, you will succeed sooner or later."
"Xiao'an Village is now on the right track, and it's all thanks to you. I don't dare to take credit for it."
It doesn't mean that a movie with big-name stars will be a big hit. Little do people know that those idols who spent thousands or even hundreds of millions of dollars to invite them ended up with movies that were criticized by people and lost a lot of money.
The quality of a movie depends not only on the acting skills of the actors, but also on the director's narrative ability.
It is easy to add icing on the cake, but difficult to provide timely assistance.
Hu Chengming was unwilling to accept it, but An Jingzhi knew in his heart that without him, the film would probably not have taken off so quickly.
"The road to your village has been repaired quite quickly. Before, we could only get in on a bumpy motorcycle, but now we can drive a car."
"If you want to get rich, you must first build roads. This is an eternal truth." An Jingzhi said with a smile.
The two of them strolled around the village and chatted for a while. Occasionally, when they met fan Hu Chengming, they would take photos with him.
Most of the villagers who worked outside have returned home, and they can earn more by setting up stalls at their doorsteps than outside.
Those who don't know how to do business can also help build the base. In short, there are few people who are idle.
"You didn't come to see Xiao'an Village today on purpose, did you?"
The other party hesitated several times to speak, and An Jingzhi took the initiative to ask.
Hu Chengming smiled sheepishly, "I was also entrusted by someone."
"The other party is the niece of one of my seniors..."
Today, An Jingzhi is considered a hot new director.
With an investment of three million, it earned more than 200 million at the box office, and the income of dozens of times made many people jealous.
But they couldn't find any fault with the other party. All the money they earned was used to invest in Xiaoan Village, and the accounts were completely open, and no taxes were missed.
Although a box office of 300 million is indeed nothing in the current film market, you have to look at who made it and how much money was invested.
For a new director with a low budget, this is an amazing achievement.
An Jingzhi's latest film script has been sent for review and was approved a few days ago.
He has received many calls these days. Some people want to give him money, and some want to send him actors.
"Actually, my main purpose today is to visit Xiaoan Village and see the old Party Secretary."
"That request just now was just incidental. Don't worry about it. If you think it's appropriate, then use it. If it's not appropriate, then don't bother me."
At the dinner table, Hu Chengming said sincerely, "I made this movie on my own accord. You don't owe me anything. We achieved something together."
He has heard rumors that since the film is politically correct and has been tested by the market, he may have a chance to compete for the Best Actor Award at the end of this year.
"Okay," An Jingzhi saw that the other party was sincere, so he also told her his plan: "Brother Hu, send her information to me later. If her acting skills are good, I will use her."
This sentence actually gives a positive answer.
Hu Chengming was very clear about the acting skills of his niece. She came from a family of actors and was very talented. At least she was better than others of her generation.
There is no shortage of beautiful people with good acting skills in the entertainment industry. Why are some people able to get resources?
It's because someone is supporting them. If their acting skills are the same, people will naturally give priority to the one with the capital.
