The funds have been clearly integrated, including the 200,000 yuan they borrowed previously.
One hundred thousand yuan was allocated for building roads in the village. There was no need to find manpower. The villagers could do it themselves. Everyone was interested in building roads for their own village.
Just build a road that can be driven on and used first, and then slowly build more roads after making money.
An Jingzhi planned to use the remaining money to rent equipment and find some manpower.
Of course he would make movies, but it is unlikely that he could do the work of an entire crew by himself.
We need some help.
After graduating from university, most of his classmates stayed in the city to work. An Jingzhi planned to rent equipment and find people, and his classmates were the cheapest and most suitable personnel.
Before leaving, An Jingzhi discussed with the old Party Secretary, "I estimate that the debt collectors will call and ask for money in a month. When that time comes, remember to organize the villagers to guard the village entrance and not allow strangers to enter."
"Don't worry, I'm not senile yet."
"Jingzhi, don't worry and prepare. I'll be watching over the village." The old branch secretary patted An Jingzhi's shoulder.
Although they are right in this matter, the old branch secretary is a cadre after all. If a fight really breaks out, it is possible that the old branch secretary himself will be implicated.
But he still chose to believe An Jingzhi, for no other reason than he was poor.
"I have worked in Xiao'an Village for most of my life, and now I have one foot in the coffin. I hope I can see the changes in our village before I die."
Feeling the heavy trust, An Jingzhi smiled and said, "Don't worry, old Party Secretary, I will definitely let you see it."
…
I changed buses all the way out of Xiaoan Village before taking the train to Beijing.
Not to mention outsiders, even villagers would complain if they went out of this place.
Along the way, you have to walk first, then take a motorcycle, a car, and finally take the train.
Just hearing about the numerous transfers is daunting.
If there is nothing attractive enough, people from outside will not go to Xiaoan Village.
Combining the original owner's expertise with the characteristics of Xiaoan Village, An Jingzhi finally came up with an idea - to build a film and television base.
Of course, it is not as good as those that cost a lot of money to build.
Their film and television base focuses on the distinctive rural film and television base.
There is no need to organize it much, just take it out and you will see that it is a vivid rural area in the 1970s and 1980s.
We can expand it when we make money in the future, but this is the only way for now.
Before leaving, An Jingzhi left an extra 50,000 yuan to repair dilapidated houses in the village.
After all, this money was borrowed by everyone together. If it is enough, we still have to give everyone some benefits.
Only the houses that are occupied are repaired, while the empty houses that are not occupied are left there unattended.
Just treat it as the characteristic of this village.
Who knows, it might be useful then.
…
A hotel.
"Why did you think of contacting me? Are you regretting it? It's no use regretting it. The job I contacted you for has already been taken."
"What do I regret?" An Jingzhi said mysteriously, "I recently got some money and plan to form a crew to make a movie. Are you interested?"
Xu Siming immediately put down his chopsticks, his eyes brightening. "Really? You're just a photographer, and they're willing to invest money in you?"
"I'm from our village, and the villagers trust me."
An Jingzhi briefly explained that he was filming a movie in the village and then promoting the village’s affairs through the movie.
"Where does your village get so much money?" Xu Siming asked suspiciously.
Although their relationship is not very good, they can still talk to each other. Everyone knows that An Jingzhi's family conditions are not very good.
"Loan."
Briefly explain the loan situation.
Xu Siming was shocked after hearing this, his mouth opening and closing: "Oh my god, the people in your village are really brave!"
"Aren't you afraid that someone will come to your door?"
An Jingzhi smiled and said, "If you were afraid, you wouldn't have lent it. Anyway, we are in the right in this matter. We are not afraid if they come to our door. There are so many young and old men in the village. How can we let a few people from outside the village take advantage of us?"
"You might not know this, but in the past, we had to rob people to get water. Armed fights broke out every few days, and fighting was commonplace. When those people came to collect debts, who would beat whom? It was obvious who would fight who."
Xu Siming sighed after hearing this and said, "Your village is really amazing. If it's really like what you said, and the whole village unites together, maybe we can be fine."
"But are you sure? What will you do if they do something? After all, those people are not decent people."
"What a coincidence," An Jingzhi said, "Our village deals with those who are not upright."
"That's our territory. What can a bunch of outsiders like them do?"
"We usually don't go out in our village, so they can't come into the village."
"If they really want to resort to some trickery, we can call the police if we can't resist. Even if they do, the police will be on our side."
Xu Siming was greatly shocked when he saw An Jingzhi's proud look on his face as if everyone in our village was a big shot.
He sighed and said, "If a person has no shame, he is invincible." He felt sorry that he did not have the conditions, otherwise he would try it immediately.
"What are you talking about? In our village, this is considered robbing the rich to help the poor."
"Tsk tsk," Xu Siming said, "We've been in college for a few years now, and it feels like I'm meeting you for the first time today. How come I didn't realize you were so shameless before?"
"If you had done this earlier, you might have made it."
"That's not necessary."
They chatted for a while about their classmates' recent situation, and An Jingzhi asked, "What do you think? Do you want to help me?"
"Although your crew sounds unreliable, it is a movie after all. If it is not well made, all the money will be wasted. Are you really willing to let me be your assistant director?" Xu Siming thought for a moment and said seriously.
"The fact that I can come to you is my attitude." In the original owner's memory, Xu Siming's family background was relatively ordinary, only slightly better off than the original owner.
But he has a high emotional intelligence. Although his family background is average, he can get along with everyone in the class.
An Jingzhi approached him with the intention of letting Xu Siming form the crew, which would save him a lot of effort.
Xu Siming also tried his best to get into the director circle, but although photography and directing sound similar, they are actually two different things.
But fortunately, he has been working in the crew for several years and should have some level of skills. Even if he doesn't, with the foundation of photography, An Jingzhi believes that he can teach others.
"It still doesn't work." Xu Siming was originally going to help out on a big director's crew next month, but after thinking about it, he still didn't want to take the risk.
"I finally got into a big director's crew after a lot of trouble by asking someone to help me find connections. Filming will start in two months." Xu Siming said apologetically.
"I'm actually quite happy that you thought of me. We haven't spoken to each other for four years, but you don't have anything you want..."
