An Jingzhi told Hu Chengming that the money was borrowed from the village, and Hu Chengming always thought it was borrowed from the government.
I didn’t expect this is the loan method!
He glanced at An Jingzhi with a strange expression, but the other party looked normal.
After driving the people away, the old branch secretary put on his clothes. When he saw the guests in the distance, he scolded everyone to clean the door and prepare to receive the guests.
Without the old branch secretary saying anything, everyone had already started to clean up in a hurry.
Hu Chengming is somewhat famous in China. After several people in the village recognized him, they introduced him to other villagers in a loud voice.
Walking to the village entrance with a few people, An Jingzhi gave the old branch secretary a look and pointed to Hu Chengming's assistant next to him. The old branch secretary immediately understood and gave Ma Keqin a look.
After receiving the old branch secretary's eye signal, Ma Qin immediately reached out and warmly put his arm around assistant Hu Chengming's shoulders.
"Finally you've come! Our village put everything on the line to make this movie, and you, a bunch of ungrateful people, actually dare to come and ask for money, taking advantage of us because we don't know the law."
"Don't be afraid, as long as you make the movie well, I guarantee these people won't dare to do anything to you."
The assistant glanced at the other's hand on his shoulder and forced a smile onto his face.
Why does this sound so scary? Does it mean that if they don’t shoot well, there’s no way back?!
Are we here to film a movie or have we entered a bandit’s den?
The two were warmly received by the whole village, had a meal with them, and were then arranged to stay at An Jingzhi's home.
The crew members who originally lived in his house have been assigned to houses vacated by villagers.
After the guests came in, Mr. and Mrs. An poured them a glass of water and went outside to do their own work.
They didn't understand any of this, they only knew that the person coming to their house was a big star. They were afraid that they would say something wrong in front of the guest and make him unhappy, so they simply gave the place to their son.
After the two put their luggage away, Hu Chengming sat on the stool and did not touch the water on the table.
"What's going on now? I've signed the contract and I'm here, so I should be clear about this, right?"
An Jingzhi took a look at the other person's expression. Hmm, he seemed quite calm. He smiled and said, "What do you mean, Senior Brother Hu?"
"You're still playing dumb with me?" Hu Chengming mercilessly pointed out, "What's up with those debt collectors? Didn't you tell me the money was a loan from the village?"
An Jingzhi spread his hands and said, "Yes, it was brought to me by the village through online loans."
Hu Chengming took a deep breath and said, "You're going to get into trouble if you do this."
"In fact, this isn't the first time someone has come to the village to collect a debt."
"These people look fierce, but if they meet someone more reckless than them, they will just be paper tigers."
"The government is aware of our village's situation. If we were to apply for a loan of this large sum of money, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to get one."
Hu Chengming didn't know what to say. "So you're taking this risk?"
An Jingzhi disagreed. "We considered this before we took out the loan. Nothing will happen to the village."
"Okay," Hu Chengming took a deep breath. "This is your village's business. I won't say much. As long as you know what's going on, it's fine."
"When do we start filming?"
If Hu Chengming had known the situation in the village, he would definitely not have come.
An Jingzhi was also worried that he might not come, so he spoke vaguely, but you can't say he was lying!
Although Hu Chengming has a big name in the circle, he is a good actor and has an even better character. He is now also a member of the capital circle.
When filming, he pays more attention to the script.
But he didn't expect that An Jingzhi's directing ability would also surprise him.
After thinking about it, I felt relieved. Anyone who can be recommended by Teacher Dou must have been approved by Teacher Dou.
Maybe they knew they couldn't win and couldn't get the money by force, so the group of thugs who came to ask for money later didn't carry any weapons. They just sat at the entrance of the village and scolded them every day.
At first, everyone ignored them and let them scold them. As long as they didn't enter the village, it was fine.
The group of thugs behind were getting even more excited. Not only did they come every day, they also brought food and sat there all day long.
While eating, he kept cursing, saying that the people in Xiaoan Village were shameless and didn't pay back the money they borrowed, and that the children in the village would become deadbeats when they grew up.
It’s okay for adults, but I’m worried that children will hear it.
Then, the group of village women, led by Mrs. Gu, would quarrel with them at the village entrance except when they were cooking.
The other party said that they owed money and refused to pay it back, so Mrs. Gu said that the country didn’t ask them to pay it back, so why should they pay it back?
He also said that these gangsters, who have good hands and feet but are good at doing good things, dare not do this immoral job, otherwise they may give birth to sons without anus and marry a cuckold.
The two sides fought back and forth, and within two rounds, the group of thugs were defeated. When it came to quarreling, how could they be a match for the women in the village?
I cursed for several days in a row, and sometimes when the crew was taking a break, I would go and watch it, just treating it as a performance.
Everyone also understands the fighting power of the village. The thugs who rely on violence to get money can only engage in verbal battles.
After watching it several times, Hu Chengming finally understood why An Jingzhi was so confident and bold.
After seeing the fighting power of the men, women, and children in the village, his assistant no longer dared to complain and could only criticize in his heart.
Thinking that it would not work to continue scolding like this, An Jingzhi asked Mrs. Gu to give her an idea.
After hearing this, the other party clapped their hands and laughed happily: "Hahaha! Okay, I'll tell them later."
The thugs who came to the village to collect debts basically gathered together.
When they came again the next day, Mrs. Gu gave them an idea. She asked them to apply for a loan together, specifically looking for one with a high interest rate that the law does not require repayment.
Anyway, they make money by fighting and collecting protection fees. They only make a few cents, so it's better to just take out a loan that doesn't have to be repaid.
Moreover, they have a lot of people, so even if someone comes to collect debts, they are not worried. It will just be a few fights anyway.
When the other party heard this, they thought it made a lot of sense. Originally, they had seen how shameless the villagers were, and after knowing that they really didn't have to pay back the money, they also had some thoughts.
It’s just that they don’t have enough numbers and don’t dare to confront those who dare to lend money.
But if all the debt collectors were mixed together, then it might not be a big problem.
These thugs are familiar with the debts they collect every day.
After listening to Mrs. Gu's idea, they discussed with each other. If they were willing to work hard, would they still be gangsters?
So the result of the discussion was that everyone decided to make a deal.
Mrs. Gu also spared no effort to give the other party the list of loan companies that An Jingzhi had helped to screen out.
After that, that group of people never came to the village again.
The village finally became quiet, but they did not relax immediately. The people who were sent out for patrol continued to work.
In the blink of an eye, summer vacation is over and it’s time for the children to go back to school.
