7 o'clock in the morning, breakfast time. People are arriving one after another.
Lu Tianming, Rao Yuqiu, Lu Qingyan, Lu Qingshan and Mei Lingshang are all here.
Huang Yingyi and Lu Tianming stayed at "Worou Villa" for two months and returned to Daicheng during the Spring Festival.
After breakfast, Lu Qingshan and Mei Lingshang studied runes with Jiang Qiuyun.
At 10 o'clock in the morning, Mei Lingshang went to the film and television base for research. She served as the assistant to Wang Yuan, the general manager of "Kunlun Myth Film and Television Base". While doing internship, she inspected the operation of the base, mastered first-hand information, and prepared to write her graduation thesis. p>
The second phase of the film and television base project has been completed, making it the largest film and television base in China. It covers an area of 100,000 acres, twice the size of Hengdian Film and Television City; it invested 30 billion, five times the size of Hengdian Film and Television City. It has both meticulous
The design of the film and television city is very exquisite, and a lot of money is invested, so the architecture of the film and television city is very exquisite, and the flowers, plants and trees are magnificent.
The entire film and television city has attracted a large number of employees, who are busy filming during the day and living nearby at night, just like a small city.
In addition, there are many tourists who come from all over the country to visit and spend money here, stay for three to five days, and breathe the fresh air full of spiritual energy.
Sixty miles around the film and television base, the property rights of all low- and mid-range buildings, hotels, and B&Bs are in the hands of the Lu family. These are not for sale and can only be rented, not sold. As long as they are in the film and television industry, the rent is not too expensive. In this way
, those young people who pursue their dreams come here to do group performances, so that they will not have nowhere to live and have to sleep under the bridge.
In addition, Lu Cheng is also building villas and caves in beautiful places. Some of them are for sale, but the price is extremely expensive, 10 times more expensive than the best areas in the city. Therefore, most villas and caves are still mainly for rent.
.
This time, the scope of Mei Lingshang's inspection only included how to shoot movies in the film and television base, and did not involve the income from real estate. She was afraid of exposing the Lu family's background and being criticized by the public.
Under the guidance of her master Jiang Qiuyun, Mei Lingshang not only inspected the overall operation of the base with Wang Yuan, but also contacted the producers, directors, actors and even extras to understand their living conditions.
In the entire film and television city, the saddest things are the extras.
There are bachelors everywhere here and beautiful women everywhere.
Most of the extras are single, have left their hometowns, and have no worries.
Many girls feel that they have pretty good looks and figures, so they want to come to the movie city to try their luck. But after arriving, they find that there are too many good-looking girls with good figures here, and they are immediately overwhelmed. Without looks and figure
The advantages are no different from ordinary group performances.
Actors have to play various professions every day. Sometimes they are coolies, sometimes they are policemen, sometimes they are passers-by, and sometimes they are gangsters. Such many and frequent career changes will have an impact on the psychology of the extras.
It will more or less cause some mental problems.
The life of extra actors is very hard. They have to get up at four or five o'clock in the morning to wait for filming. They eat the lunch boxes provided by the crew and do the most tiring work. They need to shoot over and over again. In the summer, they are basking in the strong sun. It takes a long time to wait.
Hours. Wearing single clothes in winter, no one cares about how they feel.
Day after day, year after year, waiting for the arrival of good luck, a director will take a fancy to me, and then he will become famous in one fell swoop.
It's a pity that most people can't wait for that day, and end up doing nothing for more than ten years. Finally, they wake up, their dreams of stardom are shattered, and they go home.
The more Mei Lingshang came into contact with these people, the more determined she became in her "Taoist heart."
She was still young and did not understand the meaning of cultivation. She originally thought that cultivation would help improve her chess skills, have a healthy body, and possess some superpowers.
By observing the lives of those group performers, she truly realized that cultivation is the pursuit of freedom. It is a kind of all-round freedom from body to spirit, with no temptation outside and no entanglement inside. She can experience freedom through the rest of her life.
Cultivation is the journey of freedom in the spiritual realm.
A month later, one evening, she returned to "Worou Villa" and told her feelings to her master.
Jiang Qiuyun smiled and said: "Although we practice 'witchcraft', it is the same as the immortal way that came later. If you want to understand the meaning of cultivation, you can read Taoist classics.
The pursuit of freedom and liberation by cultivators is, on the one hand, the liberation of knowledge and ability, and on the other hand, the liberation of the state of mind. The former has the requirement of "increasing learning and loss of Dao", while the latter has the requirement of "modesty", "weakness", "
Face the world with attitudes such as "softness", "heart fast", "sitting and forgetting", "turning into a butterfly".
Taoism emphasizes "the unity of man and nature", "the correspondence between man and nature", "doing things without fighting, benefiting without harming", "cultivation in the body, and its virtues are true", "an open mind and a solid belly", "the law is based on yin and yang, with simplicity
Respond to redundancy, respond to complexity with simplicity."
At the end of the practice, you can "take advantage of the righteousness of heaven and earth, control the debate between the six qi, and swim infinitely", and you can be like a roc, carried by the clouds to the sky, and soar in the sky with its wings.
The roc rises with the wind in one day and soars ninety thousand miles away!
That is true freedom."
Mei Lingshang smiled and said: "Thank you, master, for clarifying my doubts."
Jiang Qiuyun said: "Go and call Qingshan over for dinner."
Mei Lingshang went to find Lu Qingshan and found him studying runes on the computer.
She quietly walked over, looked at the computer screen, and found that the runes on it were unfamiliar.
She put one hand gently on the other person's shoulder and asked softly: "What rune is this?"
Lu Qingshan said: "Last night, my dad listed 3800 runes for me, saying that these runes may be used in research related to nuclear fusion."
Mei Lingshang wanted to ask: "How did your father know? Where did he get these runes?" But she didn't dare to say it. In the entire "Worou Villa", Mei Lingshang was the most incomprehensible person.
, it was Lu Cheng, the head of the family. Although Lu Cheng was always kind and cheerful every time she saw him, she still felt pressured.
Lu Cheng was originally a person with a peaceful personality, but when facing younger people, especially the young and lively "prospective daughter-in-law", he had to maintain the appearance of the "family man".
Lu Qingshan stood up, wrapped his hands around Mei Lingshang's slender waist, hugged her to his chest, and said: "The Lu family's status today mainly depends on runes. My father has studied runes very deeply.
My mother and my sister are much better! If 'Wuru Villa' were a university, then my father would be the principal and also a doctoral supervisor; my mother would be the dean; my sister would be a graduate student; you and I are both
New students."
What Mei Lingshang was looking forward to was a simple hug. She was happy in her heart and said with a smile on her face, "I understand. Your mother is calling you to eat!"
