Chapter 728 Ancient Well 12

A group of villagers were in a daze.

What? Busy in vain?

Why didn't you tell me earlier?

Do you know how hard they worked last night for these thirty places?

The crew said: You didn’t even ask!

Anyway, it has to be the person from yesterday!

And because we had to shoot extra rain scenes, but it didn’t rain today, we had to artificially sprinkle water to rain, so the salary was still 400 per person per day.

For a moment, the crowd of villagers was completely silent.

Then, yesterday's group of people began to rush back, going back as quickly as possible to change into yesterday's clothes. People like the Liu family were naturally happy, laughing and shouting "God's will".

Some are happy and some are sad.

Even if many people are dissatisfied, there is nothing they can do.

Those who suffer from drought will die from drought, and those who suffer from waterlogging will die from waterlogging. Looking at someone like the village chief, as far as they knew, he had swallowed more than ten thousand yuan. People like the Liu family earned 3,600 yuan in three days. But what about most of their villagers? Nothing.

Then look at the thirty people who had only worked for an hour today and started counting the red tickets again. The village chief even got Tao Ran's autograph and a group photo. The huge feeling of disparity further spread, and many people felt even more unsatisfied.

Why?

We are all fellow villagers, we are all the same poor neighbors. Why?

We agreed to be poor together, how can you get rich first? Why don't you take us with you? …

On the eighth day of filming, the director announced to everyone that the filming was coming to an end. They need a hundred people to run past the camera this evening.

"There are a hundred people in your village, right?" Xiaodong asked.

"Yes, yes," the village chief replied quickly. "There are a total of one hundred and eighty-three people in our village."

"Okay! Then come a hundred people, as per the old rules, first come, first served!"

This day's shooting went smoothly, but when it came time to check out, many people felt even more unhappy.

Because like the old Liu family, they took advantage of their young and strong sons to carry over eighty-year-old men and five-year-old children to count. There were seven people in their house! Seven!

But most people only grabbed two places. Compared with the old Liu family, this is only five people and one thousand yuan behind!

So sad! How unfair!

Why!

Why can't they be allocated?

If you have a small family, why should you suffer? Next time, I'll have to use more people next time...

While queuing up to receive the money, many people heard the director shouting "It's a pity".

pity?

When I asked, I was told that the effect was not good.

The village chief and others looked over at the director's filming. A group of people ran past the camera, cheering, in less than ten seconds. Anyway, the village chief didn't see anything clearly.

He also didn't understand how beautiful Tao Ran's solo shots were before, walking through the flowers like a fairy, flying over the rapeseed fields on the mountainside with something threatening, even just standing there, they were as beautiful as a painting.

But these people don't even have a straight face, they don't have lines and they don't have to perform. They just run around. What kind of scene does this crew want to spend so much money every day?

Director: "There is no momentum, not enough people!"

"Ah?" One hundred people are not enough?

The director simply picked up the loudspeaker:

"Listen up, folks. Tomorrow is already our ninth day of filming, and if nothing else, it's also the last day we need extras. We need a big scene tomorrow, so you don't have to fight anymore. All the villagers who want to come can come. .No limit to the number of people tomorrow!”

These words make people happy and disappointed at the same time.

In other words, no matter how many people come tomorrow, they will all give away money?

But... time flies so fast! This is the ninth day of filming, and the crew will leave the day after tomorrow. In other words, tomorrow will be the last chance to collect wool, so I can’t bear to let it go! You have to seize this last opportunity! …

The next day comes quickly.

The extravaganza is in the morning.

So early in the morning, the venue was already crowded.

They're all here!

The director was very satisfied with so many people and asked everyone to take their places with a smile.

Let’s count the number of people on the field. Hey, one hundred and eighty-eight? Right?

I clicked twice and got the same number.

"No, village chief, didn't you say that there are only one hundred and eighty-three people in your village? Why are there more people?"

The village chief was depressed.

He had discovered it long ago.

Some people are cowardly because of money, but there is nothing he can do.

For example, Jia Damao's family actually brought his stupid wife and the five or six children they secretly raised. None of those three people have registered residence! In order to make up the number, for six hundred, they really did everything they could!

There was also the strong, sharp-eyed old woman who went back after seeing Da Mao's operation and brought his old lady, whose family was shady and had been staying in the cellar for several years, to make up for it. So brave!

The village chief went to stop him, but he cursed arrogantly: "What! These days, I only earn a total of 600, which is far behind you! There are only three people in my family, why is it that my family is so disadvantaged? Why? You are going to get rich, but why don’t you give me a drink of soup? If you don’t help, if anyone dares to talk too much, we will all be finished together!”

Because of a few disobedient rat droppings, the number was exceeded.

The village chief has no choice.

Forget it, anyway, outsiders’ money will not be used until it is wasted. He followed the director every day these days and knew that they were not interested in the villagers. All the cameras were focused on the side and back of the extras. What they want is a lively atmosphere and the momentum of people walking through the rapeseed fields. They don’t want to be slapped in the face anyway, and they are not afraid of anything happening!

Therefore, the village chief has just warned those families with a large number of people and asked them to put them in jail!

"The number of people registered in our village is 183. Aren't there still some children who don't have a household registration? This is the case in rural areas. It's normal to go to school and then register."

The village chief explained casually, carefully staring at the crew.

Fortunately, people don't seem to be worried about it at all. The next second, he was already shouting "Everyone is in your place".

In the crowd, many villagers secretly cried out that it was a pity.

Is this still possible?

Why didn't you think of it?

Oh my god, Da Mao and Da Zhuang have made a lot of money! There are a lot of shady people in this village. Look at the stupid daughter-in-law of the Da Mao family, standing in the middle of the crowd and running. Even if she babbles and smiles silly, the camera can't catch her.

How could those on the crew know about the existence of shady people in the village?

This is all earned in vain!

It's the last day, why don't you dare to take the free money?

Do you want to go home yourself? One more is two hundred. Da Mao and Da Zhuang have all done it. They will suffer losses and will die of stupefaction in the future!

The villagers here were about to ask if there was still a shortage of extras, but the manager from the other side suddenly came over with a loudspeaker and shouted that the machine was broken.

He also said that he would not be afraid in the morning and would shoot again in the afternoon. In order to supplement everyone's hard work, we will give you an additional 100 yuan as hard work fee. Please come on time at 1pm. There is still no limit to the number of people, the more the better! …

Many people laughed.

OK! What a great thing!

Not only can you pick up a hundred for free, but you can also give it to someone in your family when you go back, and you can also make up the money in the afternoon? Adding these two together, there are hundreds more!

…

Sure enough, when work started in the afternoon, the number of people was recorded. This time, the number of people increased from 188 to 201, which was 18 more than the 183 originally mentioned by the village chief.

…
