Chapter 774 Born with a Toilful Fate! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

At Wulaofeng, Wu Aiguo indeed found a place emitting subtle and peculiar spatial fluctuations.

It was a stone wall hidden by vines!

It's unremarkable and has no special features whatsoever.

Ahem, the straight-line distance to the large rock where Tong Hu often sits is no more than three kilometers.

Wu Aiguo tried various methods, but none of them could trigger that subtle spatial fluctuation, produce resonance, or other magical changes.

His blood and qi surged within him, and his body was enveloped in a raging inferno. He reached out to touch the moss-covered stone wall, but nothing changed.

Even with fists pressed against the wall, the internal energy and blood flow constantly vibrated, but to no avail.

On the contrary, the stone wall, which had withstood countless years of wind and rain, was almost directly shattered.

However, the true essence cultivated through internal alchemy made the spatial fluctuations hidden in the stone wall suddenly become more obvious.

But that's all; no hidden portals were opened.

There is a high probability that the true essence condensed within the body is insufficient!

At this time, his internal alchemy practice had only reached the level of refining essence into qi.

There's still a long way to go before we reach the next stage of gathering powerful medicinal herbs!

Wu Aiguo was not discouraged at all!

After all, he had been cultivating Taoist internal alchemy since his previous life!
Well, without the guidance of a renowned teacher, progress is slow.

Even in the present world, martial arts based on qi and blood are still the main focus!

It's somewhat similar to the martial arts cultivation system in "Yang Shen," and its prospects are no worse than those of Taoist internal alchemy.

Now that we know what happened, things are easier to handle.

It's better than being completely clueless!
They quietly returned to the county town from Wulaofeng without arousing anyone's suspicion.

The next day, he acted as if nothing had happened, and took the three children out for early morning exercise, which had become a habit.

With Dohko and Shiryu absent, we can't just stop training, can we?

However, one of Ye Fan's martial arts friends, upon seeing the three children's physical abilities, couldn't help but offer a few words of advice.

Then, Wu Aiguo asked him to be the martial arts teacher for the Third Primary School during the summer vacation, and the tuition and tickets were not reduced at all.

This person, at Ye Fan's request, was assigned to oversee the county town.

He was considered an unofficial member of the police system, with plenty of free time every day, and he was also a genuinely warm-hearted person, paying close attention to the affairs of the three children.

Having dealt with the three minor issues, Wu Aiguo then focused his attention and energy on his work in the county.

By 1981, the popularity of "Romance on Lushan Mountain" had gradually waned.

The number of tourists visiting the county has also decreased sharply.

Then, economic data from all aspects returned to normal, but this was something that some other county leaders found hard to accept.

After a year of good times, it's hard to adjust to suddenly returning to your previous lifestyle.

The key issue is that while tourists are flocking in, the county has spent money building many budget hotels and other auxiliary facilities, all of which are now operating at a loss.

Moreover, with the sharp decline in tourism-related income, both businesses and individuals will find their incomes increasingly tight.

Of course, printing factories are still doing well, but they no longer have the huge profits they used to make, and they also have to face competition from counterparts in the region and other cities.

In short, as the movie's popularity faded, the county's economy began to recover to its original state.

Of course, the popularity and traffic over nearly two years have been very effective.

At least, the planning of the county town streets and the number of shops were much better than before 1979.

The commune where Wu Aiguo started his business, in particular, has undergone a complete transformation. The town is now filled with neatly planned two- or three-story buildings.

The dirt roads leading to each brigade have all been transformed into gravel roads.

A large number of new houses were being built in various production brigades, and the state-owned brick and tile kilns and cement and steel plants were all extremely busy.

Moreover, in just two years, the county's bicycle sales increased by more than 500%, and the purchase volume of tractors also increased several times over.

Sales of clothing, fabrics, snacks, hardware, pots and pans all reached a rather astonishing number.

These are not fake.

In fact, after two years of hard work, the economic activity of the entire county has improved.

Even without the hype generated by the movie, the momentum of economic development won't slow down too much.

Wu Aiguo was quite satisfied with this.

As for attracting investment, that's not the time yet.

Even the winds of reform and opening up didn't reach this part of the county.

By this time, the county town already resembled a modern town.

At least at this time, the county government had money and could still do a lot of things.

Wu Aiguo also took advantage of this achievement to become the second-in-command of the county government and the executive deputy county head.

Of course, there were also several veteran competitors who inexplicably failed.

It's funny, really, that Wu Aiguo has accepted this reality.

But the other leaders in the county weren't so happy about it.

According to later generations, having already tasted delicious food, how could they possibly accept eating simple meals every day?

Besides, this is closely related to promotion, so who would dare not take it seriously?
That's true; the county leadership has been holding quite a few small meetings lately to discuss this.

However, few people were able to offer constructive suggestions.

"Since the movie 'Romance on Lushan Mountain' has caused such a sensation across the country and attracted so many tourists to our area, why not just imitate it!"

Wu Aiguo chuckled and said, "As long as you have a good story and the movie is of decent quality, it shouldn't be difficult to make a sensation in the central and southern provinces, if not the whole country, right?"

This idea was quite bold, and the other county leaders were caught off guard.

At this time, the film industry was firmly controlled by film studios in various regions.

At the same time, in terms of external publicity, the film was categorized as a highbrow art form, which naturally extinguished the desire of ordinary people to get involved.

Even the county leaders never thought of promoting their local area by making a movie.

Ultimately, the matter fell into Wu Aiguo's hands.

That's why he doesn't like to be in the limelight, and in the end, he's the one who's the busiest and most tired.

In fact, movie scripts are quite easy to come by.

Whether it's the various stories about Mount Lu or the related rumors about Poyang Lake, there are many things that can be adapted.

Wu Aiguo did not choose Mount Lushan as his focus this time, but instead chose Poyang Lake.

With Poyang Lake as a key promotional focus, there are many types of films that can be shot, including martial arts, spy thrillers, and bandit suppression films, all of which offer room for development.

Considering the time period and other requirements, a spy drama script was ultimately chosen.

Then, through the connections of the prefectural committee, they directly contacted the Xiaoxiang Film Studio, hoping to ask the film studio to send capable personnel to jointly produce related films.

The film script was created by Wu Aiguo, drawing inspiration from the exciting plot points of later online novels, with the aim of making a standard commercial spy film.
