Chapter 1247 1247. Wasteland
Song Tan thought that I didn’t buy my car for sightseeing, but because it was inconvenient for everyone to drive other cars.
But speaking of it, these sightseeing buses are really worth buying.
There are a lot of people at home now, so this car is very convenient for people to sit in. Besides, as long as we don’t go to town, we can easily travel to several villages.
From the stone **** to the river beach, everyone can pull one cart after another when working - but most people in the village don't need it, because every household has a motorcycle, and they are more accustomed to riding their own bikes.
To get to the river beach from home, you need to bypass a large area of wasteland owned by other people. The director looked left and right all the way, and when he saw a field with grass growing taller than a person, he couldn't help but sigh:
“It would be much easier to take pictures if the area were larger!”
Song Tan actually laughed: "It's simple. Now you want to rent a few pieces of land here, and you have the final say on what seeds to sow on the land - if you only need this kind of weed, it can grow like this for you in a month."
Director:…! !
“Why didn’t I think of that?”
After he finished speaking, he looked at Song Tan warily: "Isn't this land expensive?"
What is this land worth? How many farmers are there in the village? Even if they are planted, they will be planted for his family.
This year is better, because most people have cultivated their own vegetable plots to get more vegetable seedlings, and with the suspension of part-time work plans, everyone has time to take care of their own land.
But the ground is still full of weeds this season, after all, the whole family no longer lives in the village.
Song Tan thought for a while and called Party Secretary Xiao Zhu:
“We are almost at the village headquarters, come over to discuss something.”
She hung up the phone, and Chen Yuan's car turned and stopped accurately at the entrance of the village.
Xiao Zhu, the branch secretary, was going out in full swing. When he saw three strangers sitting in Song Tan's car, his eyes lit up again.
At this moment, she also sat up: "Hello, I am the party secretary of the village. My surname is Zhu, and these are..."
Song Tan quickly explained: "This is the crew who signed a contract with me before, and now they come to see the attractions in advance..."
“See the sights!”
Party Secretary Xiaozhu perked up: "The environment of our village is original enough, right? Whether it's a period drama or an ancient drama, our vast wilderness is very interesting - how about it, are there any places you like?"
The director subconsciously looked at Song Tan, and Party Secretary Xiao Zhu quickly refused: "Her family is not good, and I can't do her family's work... Just look at other families in the village, and I can negotiate for everyone if the price is right!"
Director:…
He looked at Song Tan carefully again. Even the branch secretary did not dare to discuss business with her. Could it be that she was a village tyrant?
Then he pointed to the large wasteland where the weeds were taller than the trees: "I want to rent this area and let them clean it up and plant weeds... Is that possible?"
“Okay! Why not!”
In the eyes of villagers, nothing is more beneficial than money.
There are only a dozen families left in Yunqiao Village who live permanently, and the rest either go to other places or are in the urban area. She did not rent the large terraced wasteland in front of her because it was not connected to the old Song family and was far away from both the river beach and Song Tan's family.
But now, if the crew gives money, let alone planting weeds, don’t they have the final say on what to plant?
Xiao Zhu, the Party Secretary, made a quick calculation, and then drew a circle with his fingers on the large wasteland in front of him:
“If this area is rented, it will be about 23 acres. How many months will the crew use it? I can negotiate a rent of 6,000 within three months.”
“Cut the grass, plow the ground and scatter the seeds, then plant the weeds you want…”
After she finished speaking, her eyes were sincere and her expression was sincere, as if everything was the most fair price. The director doesn’t know the price of land in this poor mountain village. The rent of 6,000 for such a large piece of wasteland seems not expensive...
but!
He still had some sense left, and at this moment he handed over the producer's phone number with difficulty: "You can talk to him, he will take care of the money."
Xiao Zhu, the branch secretary, was right. At this moment, he quickly wrote down the phone number, and then looked at the three directors. Fortunately, the price he just offered was a little high, but not too high.
After all, the crew of a serious film and television drama should have a large group of people, right?
Do you want temporary workers to do rough work on site?
Do you want the kind of extras that lie on the ground and don't need to act?
Do you want a helper who can boil water and make tea?
There are also things to eat and buy…
She was looking at Song Tan with burning eyes at the moment, and she could only shake her shoulders to ask her to stay.
As the car gradually approached the river beach, the temperature in the wind had changed, and the water vapor was a little heavier. The director looked at the surrounding environment and couldn't help but mutter again:
"It would be too remote to shoot so many scenes here..."
But Party Secretary Xiao Zhu smiled and said: "It's good to be remote. There are not many young people in the village. We won't let our hair grow wild if we come to take some pictures."
If it really comes, I have to tell the villagers when the time comes to put away their mobile phones as much as possible when working...
"Besides, although the place is remote, our transportation is not remote! Look at this road. Most of the natural and original villages that the crew has visited do not have such good asphalt roads, right?"
“The most important thing is electricity consumption. Our village is undergoing electricity reform. By the end of the month at the latest, every household will be able to use electricity without any burden.”
“Don’t worry about accommodation, there happen to be two B&Bs being built in the village…”
These things came out of Xiaozhu’s mouth as if they were a huge advantage, and the director couldn’t help but look at her again—
To be honest, when he asked for investment money, he didn’t have the power to show off like others.
Look at Song Tan who is smiling silently next to him, and the young driver in front who doesn’t say a word but drives with his back straight and upright, as if he has been carefully trained...
This small village is full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons!
…
While talking, the river beach has arrived.
The wind carried the warm and moist smell of river water. On the large dry river bank connected to the mountains in the corner, a large group of people were immersed in planting something.
On the other side, there are various grasses with high density and bright green leaves growing.
Farther away, green sprouts sprouted from the dry and yellow reeds, and a large white goose led a large group of ducks on the water.
On one side of the stone slope, sheep of all sizes were bleating and jumping back and forth. They were snow-white, yellowish, and furry with black balls. They were even jumping happily.
On the riverbank grassland, there are pigs, cattle and sheep living leisurely on the green grass...
“Wait a minute, why are there still pigs?!”
Not only are there pigs, but the pigs are also extremely large. One of the pigs was a large white pig that was plump, and another pig with reddish brown hair was even more muscular.
Only one black pig is more compact, but why does it look like a wild boar?
The director's eyes lit up: "The free-range pigs, cattle and sheep...Boss Song, do you want to sell them?"
