Chapter 131 Rune Beads
The banquet was very common, everyone toasted each other and chatted a few words.
Director Niu also encouraged Jiang Xiaobai, saying that he was very optimistic about her and asked her to continue working hard in the future. He also looked forward to cooperating with her again if possible.
This is not a casual comment. Director Niu really thinks Jiang Xiaobai is very useful. She is very hard-working and can be used as a man...
Leaders all like subordinates who can work well, and treat women like men and men like beasts. This is their ultimate ideal.
For Director Niu, Jiang Xiaobai can not only be a man's messenger, but even better than a man!
No matter how big the workload is, he can withstand it. He is really a fierce warrior!
I can't bear to let her leave the crew.
Jiang Xiaobai didn't know what Director Niu was thinking, so he gratefully thanked him for his care and guidance over the past few months, saying that he had benefited a lot.
During these days of filming, Jiang Xiaobai and the actors in the crew generally got along pretty well. There were no conflicts, but there was no one he was particularly close to.
Oh, it’s not like there are none, such as Li Biying, Gu Xue, and Rong Juan, who has mentored her a lot.
Jiang Xiaobai also toasted Rong Juan and thanked her gratefully.
"I'm very happy to meet such a diligent young man like you. I hope you can go further." Rong Juan clinked glasses with her and smiled gently.
"Okay, everyone, please take your time and drink. If anyone drinks too much and delays tomorrow's scene, I will deduct the pay!"
Niu Guo warned loudly, deliberately keeping a straight face.
Everyone laughed and agreed.
Jiang Xiaobai drank a few glasses of red wine, but he was not drunk at all, and his eyes were still clear.
In the end, Director Niu also gave Jiang Xiaobai a final red envelope according to the rules. The thickness was considerable, which showed his satisfaction.
After the banquet, Jiang Xiaobai went back to the hotel, had a good sleep, and returned to his house in City B with his luggage the next morning.
She has also been a little tired these days. Although the physical fatigue can be eliminated, she still feels a little tired mentally and needs to rest for a few days to ease it.
She planned to rest here for a day or two, be a salty fish, and wait until her condition recovered before returning to her home in City S to stay with her parents and brother for a few days.
But unexpectedly, Sister Ran arranged a new job for her on the first day of rest——
"Make a mV?"
Jiang Xiaobai looked at Dong Ran in surprise.
"Yes, not only do you have to be the heroine of the music video, but you also have to sing with others, but it's not much, just a few lines. You should be able to do it."
As soon as Dong Ran entered the door and sat down on the sofa, Mingzhu had already poured the water and handed it over.
So considerate!
Dong Ran glanced at Mingzhu with admiring eyes.
"But... I have never recorded a song before. I won't mess it up, right?" Jiang Xiaobai was a little worried.
"Whether it's a mess or not, the worst case scenario is that we'll have to hire a sound repair engineer. They're familiar with this matter."
Dong Ran said nonchalantly.
She had heard Jiang Xiaobai sing before. He was definitely not a professional performer, but he was still better than ordinary people. Even if something went wrong while recording a song, it wouldn't be serious.
Besides, there are "millions of tuners" here, so what are you afraid of?
"Then...let's try it, when?" Jiang Xiaobai asked.
"Tomorrow, I'll go to the company to try out my looks and practice singing, and then I'll go to the shooting location for the actual shooting. This is very quick and can be done in just a few days."
Jiang Xiaobai nodded and happily accepted this job that disrupted her "salted fish" plan.
It's a good thing to be busy and have work to do. This was what the previous owner looked forward to most, but she couldn't wait until this day.
After Dong Ran left, Jiang Xiaobai returned to his room and took out some things and put them on the table.
There are several different small carving knives, three round jade beads, two slightly larger jade tablets, and finally the topaz dug from Yangjiao Mountain.
She asked Mingzhu to run errands for these items when she was filming on the set. Although there were not many items, the cost was not cheap. The carving knife was a brand-name product, and the jade beads and jade plaques were genuine jade.
The quality varies, the cheapest one only costs a few hundred yuan, but the most expensive one costs hundreds of thousands.
That piece of yellow jade gave Jiang Xiaobai a new idea for making talismans. The aura inside it gave her inspiration, so she asked Mingzhu to buy different grades and wanted to try it out for herself.
In Yaoyue Continent, in addition to paper talismans, talisman seals also have talisman tablets. Talisman tablets are a general term for a type of talisman, and they are further subdivided depending on the shape of the materials.
For example, bead-shaped charms are called charm beads.
Sometimes runes can also be engraved on decorations, such as hairpins or bracelets and rings, which are hairpins and bracelets and rings.
However, Yao Yue Continent's talismans are all made of special materials. Not only do they contain spiritual energy, but some of them can be refined into magic weapons for use.
But don’t think about it here, those materials definitely don’t exist.
Originally, Jiang Xiaobai thought that she could only make paper talismans and void talismans, but she unexpectedly discovered the unique spiritual energy-containing materials here——
jade!
It's not like she hasn't come into contact with jade since she came here. Just like in the DS commercial she once filmed, she tried on a jade necklace.
But she didn't realize the existence of spiritual energy at that time.
Thinking of the exquisite drop-shaped jade pendant, Jiang Xiaobai thought that maybe the jade stone was too small, which caused the aura to be reduced to nothing.
Before she asked Zhuzhu to buy these things, she told her the size of the beads. They were all medium to large beads, and she did feel the spiritual energy inside after getting them, so her guess was correct.
However, cheap jade has more impurities and less spiritual energy, while expensive jade obviously has higher spiritual energy.
Jiang Xiaobai didn't touch the yellow stone directly. It was what she wanted to give to Li Biying. She couldn't start rashly. She had to practice to get a feel for it in advance to avoid damaging the stone.
She picked up the cheapest jade bead and carved runes on it with a carving knife.
It is still necessary to make a good luck charm, but with the weak spiritual energy blessing on the jade, the time it takes to take effect can be increased by more than half, and this is even if the quality of the jade is not good.
The beads are light green, not clear enough, but the quality and price are... well matched.
Jiang Xiaobai was very cautious at first. This was her first time carving "talisman beads" here, and she wasn't very sure about it, but she gradually found the mood.
The spiritual energy in the body is mobilizing, and the carving knife is becoming sharper. Carving complex talisman formations on the beads looks like drawing on paper, very smooth, with only occasional debris falling from time to time.
The beads are not big, and the runes appear more complicated and dense. People who don't know will only think that this is some kind of pattern.
After a while, this good luck bead was carved out by her.
The jade beads that originally had a somewhat inferior texture were different at this time. The runes on them gave it a faint halo, hiding behind the jade. Although there was no abnormality, it made the jade appear...
A bit better.
Compared with the good luck charm, this good luck bead will have a longer usable time, but the good luck effect will not change.
But after confirming that using jade as a talisman was feasible, Jiang Xiaobai planned to try to make another talisman with better effect——
