Returning to hometown to farm: The apocalypse system arrived ten years earlier?

Chapter 38 "Big Money" "High Cost Production"

Jiang Caier didn’t have a mobile phone, but she had QQ, so she borrowed Li Xiang’s mobile phone, logged into QQ, and posted the recruitment information in the class group and personal updates.

Although few students have their own mobile phones, now that they are on vacation at home, they all seize the time to play with their parents' or grandparents' phones. Soon, many students signed up enthusiastically.

Jiang Caier was typing on her mobile phone, constantly replying to questions from classmates, and was very busy.

"Student Jiang, please let me play a saint son, preferably one from Mount Qingcheng. I don't want an appearance fee, just food."

"Classmate Jiang Caier, would you like to reimburse me for the travel expenses?"

"Jiang Jiang, I'm so handsome, it's not too much to play a passionate young man, right?"

"Cai Er, I've seen your previous video, it's really great. I helped promote it for you later, and many of my classmates learned about it from me!"

"Thank you thank you."

"Cai'er, your brother from the same village is so handsome. He's very masculine, and he's my type. Can I go over and play the role of the Saint of the Emei Sect and steal your boyfriend?"

Jiang Caier: “…”

She bit her teeth lightly, her cheeks puffed up, and she almost got angry, but she quickly realized that the other party was talking about the plot, the boyfriend of the Central Plains swordsman who robbed the Miao saint.

Jiang Caier suddenly felt that this plot was not in her favor. She also wanted to play the role of the Saint of the Central Plains and be paired with the Swordsman of the Central Plains. Why should I be betrayed?

Well, this is a tragedy in itself. Perhaps, as Brother Li Xiang said, only tragedy can touch people's hearts and gain attention and traffic.

Thinking of this, Jiang Caier couldn't help laughing: "What am I thinking about? It's just a short play, why take it so seriously?"

So, she happily threw herself into the role of "producer" again, and even set up a separate group to facilitate communication among everyone.

The main reason is that some students are not classmates, and it is not convenient to occupy the class group resources.

Li Xiang felt that he could not let his classmates help for free. In addition to meals, each person would receive 100 yuan in compensation. Moreover, since they were going to shoot a short drama, they had to do it seriously. So he decided to spend a huge sum of 5000 yuan and let Jiang Caier lead everyone to the county town to purchase clothes and jewelry.

As soon as Jiang Caier announced the news, my god, the classmates became even more excited.

"Damn, there's even pay!"

"That's really great, I can't wait!"

"I have a suggestion. Why don't we buy some cloth and have them custom-made at my house. To be honest, 5000 yuan is not enough to buy things for so many people, but if it's custom-made, I can convince my mother to give me a % discount on the processing fee. You all know my mother's craftsmanship. She has been a seamstress for several generations. As for the styles of the clothes, you can find some on the Internet and my mother can make some herself." A classmate was very enthusiastic.

Jiang Caier discussed it with Li Xiang, and Li Xiang was naturally happy. In that case, the quality of the clothing would be even higher.

Moreover, Hanfu does not require very good fabrics. After all, it is just a temporary photo shoot, so you can use those fancy and very beautiful fabrics, such as inferior tulle, cheap imitation satin, etc.

As for jewelry, hairpins and the like, I definitely won’t buy the real ones. For example, fake pearls made of polypropylene still look shiny and precious.

Immediately, Li Xiang followed Jiang Caier to the county town by bus. On the way, everyone in the short drama shooting group worked together to post many pictures of Hanfu styles, and roughly finalized everyone's role, and everyone chose their favorite style.

Then, we gathered at the tailor shop at that classmate's home. The classmate's mother was very enthusiastic. After understanding everyone's needs, she made a list of materials and recommended several stores for everyone to buy fabrics.

Li Xiang took Jiang Caier and several classmates to pick up the goods. Since they were introduced by someone they knew, the price was not bad.

"Don't worry, I will work overtime to make it for you, and let my daughter bring it to you the day after tomorrow morning." The classmate's mother said with a confident smile. However, she also added, "Since we are rushing to finish it, the time is tight, so the workmanship may not be perfect in some places, but don't worry, it will not affect the style, and it is guaranteed to look great when worn!"

Li Xiang smiled and said, "As long as it looks good in the photos." It doesn't matter if there are a few loose threads or some places are not sewn properly. After all, it is only for filming a drama, and not for real shopping.

After measuring each person's size, noting some special requirements, and agreeing to officially start work at 10 o'clock the next morning, everyone dispersed.

Since Jiang Caier would be needed to contact and take care of various matters in the future, for convenience, Li Xiang took Jiang Caier to a mobile phone store and bought her the latest model of mobile phone.

Jiang Caier: "Isn't this bad? My parents will scold me if they know."

Li Xiang said, "Just think of it as something I bought and I'm lending it to you. I'll only have one phone at that time, so the photos might not turn out well. It will be much easier to edit later if you shoot from multiple angles at the same time."

After hearing this, Jiang Caier agreed.

In fact, Li Xiang lent it to her and had no intention of taking it back.

"Brother, you have invested a lot of money this time. What if we mess up and the traffic is not good? "It was Jiang Caier's first time as a producer and she was under a lot of pressure.

Li Xiang touched her head: "Why think so much? Just do your best. Even if it doesn't work, it's also a way to accumulate experience for the future."

"Yeah, brother, let's cheer together!" Jiang Caier clenched her little pink fist and waved it, glancing at Li Xiang. Her eyes were bright and shining, like a moist gem.

The next day, Li Xiang went to the market to buy a lot of meat, eggs, fish, condiments, snacks, fruits, as well as mineral water, iced black tea, cola, Sprite, etc. As for vegetables, there were some in the vegetable garden. Many of them were old or spoiled because they were not eaten in time, so they were just right to borrow from classmates to consume them.

Just plant it after you finish eating it.

As for rice, I went to grind another 50 kilograms of new rice, so there was enough.

Then Li Xiang was busy filming and certainly had no time to cook. His grandmother couldn't handle it alone, so Li Xiang invited two aunties from the village to come and help his grandmother cook.

Li Xiang wanted to pay the workers, but the old lady refused: "They are all family members. Why should we pay them for helping out?"

Li Xiang had no choice but to give up and sincerely invited: "Then let your uncle, brothers and sisters come over to eat in the next few days, and don't cook separately at home."

"Then we won't be polite, haha." The aunt was also very straightforward and said that they would take care of the cooking.

Then, the news that Li Xiang was doing something "big" spread in the village. When people heard that Li Xiang had invested nearly ten thousand yuan, they were all shocked.
