The other person was the producer of the film. Kang Ping introduced that his surname was Che, and everyone called him Producer Che, but no one mentioned his specific name.
Later, Wei Mian heard from others that the producer's full name was Che Yuanbao.
Maybe because they think it's too festive and childish, people usually just call him Producer Che.
Although Producer Che is the most powerful person in the entire crew, he doesn't know whether he doesn't like to be in charge or he trusts Director Kang too much. In any case, he rarely interferes in the crew's affairs.
Even though Kang Ping already knew that Master Wei was very young, he was still surprised to see her.
But Wei Mian had an extraordinary temperament, and his aura was even stronger than that of several famous masters in the circle he had met before. He couldn't help but feel more convinced, and he had a polite smile on his face.
"Master Wei."
"Director Kang."
After a few brief pleasantries, Wei Mian got straight to the point. It was only then that she learned that the name of the movie the crew was going to shoot was "Waiting for You to Come Back in Spring."
This is a feature film that tells the story of a pair of educated youth lovers who went to the countryside to build the motherland in the 1960s and 1970s. Because the film needs to use a lot of old street sets, it was chosen to be filmed at a film and television base in Qinghai Province.
However, the predecessor of this so-called film and television base is actually a real village.
It is said that there were not many residents here originally. After the reform and opening up, many of them left or died, and finally only three or five families were left. They found it inconvenient to live here, so they simply left their houses idle and moved to a village closer to the county town.
Later, this place was rented out and turned into a film and television base, and some thatched houses were added on this basis. Many things were left by the older generation, so the filming was particularly realistic.
When the original villagers saw that this place was booming again, they came back to do business. Some used the money they earned outside to build houses and open B&Bs, which they then rented out to film crews.
Some even learned to cook and opened a restaurant here to provide boxed lunches for the crew.
Because most of the drama was filmed in the village except for a few shots of returning to the city at the end, Wei Mian took a compass and walked around the village before performing the ritual.
This village is located in a mountain valley and the sun is not visible for nearly half a day. Overall, the village seems to have a heavy yin energy.
She looked up at the sun, then at the compass in her hand, her fingers moving slightly.
"The movie title is not good. If it is called this, the filming process may not be peaceful. Do you have any alternative names?"
When Kang Ping heard that the movie name was not good, he frowned immediately. There was an alternative name, but this name had already been submitted for review, and this name was also used in the early promotions.
If I want to change it, it will be very troublesome.
Kangping even suddenly felt a little resentful that he had to find a master to perform a ritual, otherwise there wouldn't be so many.
Then he thought that it was all for the film to win an award, so he gritted his teeth and agreed.
Kang Ping is already in his fifties and can't afford to waste time. If he doesn't have another award-winning movie, as some people say online, he might as well change his name to a professional runner-up.
The movies he shoots in the future will never reach the highest level, and will just be hanging there half-dead like they are now.
After Kang Ping made the decision, he immediately called someone to bring the alternative names for Wei Mian to choose from.
Wei Mian counted the remaining names and finally decided to change it to "I'm Waiting for You in the Spring Breeze".
The meaning is similar, but the divination results are completely different.
Kang Ping asked someone to send the new name for review, and then continued to follow Wei Mian.
The three of them looked around the village. Although this place was a bit gloomy, nothing had appeared yet.
After making sure that the surrounding environment was fine, Wei Mian began to take action.
She is now quite experienced in acting for such crews. Her movements must be exaggerated, and her gestures must be chic and confident. The key is to have aura to ensure that she can attract everyone's attention.
After one round, the actors watching said: I don’t understand but it looks so awesome.
After the ritual was completed, all the actors took a photo together and then went to eat.
There are also people from other places doing business in the village. One of the restaurants has relatively large tables and venues, which is suitable for crew gatherings.
Director Kang, Producer Che, Wei Mian, and some of the crew's main actors sat at the first table. Because of what Wei Mian had just done, many people were quite interested in this young and beautiful girl.
Seeing that Director Kang and Producer Che were extremely polite to Wei Mian, the others just stole a few glances at them.
"Hello, Master. My name is Jiang Xinyue. It's a great honor to meet you here."
The person who spoke was a young girl in her early twenties, with almond eyes, rosy cheeks, fair skin, and wearing a high-necked black sweater. When she smiled, two dimples appeared on the corners of her lips, making her look quite approachable.
Jiang Xinyue is the female lead of this movie. Director Kang personally went to the Film Academy to select this new actor.
"Hello."
Wei Mian nodded at her.
When the male lead next to him saw that Wei Mian was willing to pay attention to him, he quickly came over and said, "Hello, Master. I'm Jiang Shuiman, the male lead of this movie."
Jiang Shuiman is not a newcomer. He has been in the industry for a few years and has acted in several TV series, but they were all supporting roles and he has never been very popular.
Wei Mian also nodded at him and replied "Hello".
Then it was like stirring up a hornet's nest, and everyone at the table started introducing themselves.
Wei Mian smiled on the surface, but secretly he was looking at Jiang Shuiman.
Just as Jiang Shuiman announced his name, a murderous aura appeared from his body. This murderous aura was extremely sharp and was definitely a sign of a tragic disaster.
Wei Mian was about to observe carefully when the evil aura suddenly disappeared again.
Her eyes swept across the river's surface, and seeing that he didn't encounter any disaster in the short term, but rather one a year later, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.
After everyone at the table finished greeting each other, Wei Mian turned his gaze back to Jiang Shuiman, "Mr. Jiang, you need to change your name."
"Huh?" Jiang Shuiman was taken aback. "'Jiang Shuiman' was given by my grandfather. When I was born, a doctor said that I lacked the element of water, and that I needed to compensate for that in my name."
Later, his grandfather gave him this name. He has been safe and sound since he was a child, so his family attaches great importance to this name.
Wei Mian kept staring at Jiang Shuiman. When he said his name again, a murderous aura surged from his body, exactly as she had guessed before.
This male lead is good in every way except for his wrong name. Once he achieves greater success in his career, disaster will surely strike. Even without looking at his face, judging from the evil energy surging around him, this time is not far away.
"Mr. Jiang, you've undoubtedly heard the idiom 'water overflows when it's full.' You can't use this idiom as a name. Otherwise, disaster will inevitably strike when your career reaches its peak. While it's true that a name can compensate for the lack of water in the Five Elements, there are so many words related to water that 'water overflows' isn't absolutely necessary. What do you think?"
