—I don’t usually fall in love.
Ji Ning almost blurted out these words, but the situation was not suitable, so she held it back.
She raised her eyes and asked Ji Shiyan: "Then what do you want me to call you?"
After thinking for a while, she quickly came to her senses. In fact, everyone's definition of dating variety shows has always been vague. Some couples think that they should maintain a romantic relationship during the recording of the show, but they should remain the same once the cameras are turned off; some couples think that love should act like a relationship, and from the first day of recording to the end, everyone should be a couple no matter on or off the screen.
That's why she also saw it vaguely. Everything was done just to be on the safe side. But Ji Shiyan was a dedicated person. Even when filming a drama, he would often bring his character into real life to experience it. So probably in his mind, whether they were filming a variety show or not, they were in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship at this moment.
This is also normal. Ji Ning silently accepted it and put himself back into the situation.
Ji Shiyan paused for a moment, thinking about the name his fans usually used to call him, and frowned and said, "Brother?"
"… "
I have called you brother before on Weibo, but when the scene changed to reality and the words turned into language, I suddenly didn’t know how to start.
Ji Ning's earlobes turned red visibly, and after choking for a while, he finally mustered up the courage—
"No, I can't do that."
"Forget it then," the man looked at her earlobe leisurely for a while, then said, "You can call me whatever you want, just don't call me senior."
"Okay, front..."
"Um?"
"There seems to be a dining car up ahead, let's go eat." Ji Ning thought quickly and changed the subject in time.
Ji Shiyan leaned forward slightly, put his hands on his knees and asked her calmly: "You're going to dinner dressed like this?"
Ji Ning looked down and realized that he had not taken off his doll costume yet.
She squatted down, ready to put the hood on the ground and free her hands to take off the hood on her body, but unexpectedly the man reached out and took her hood: "Give it to me."
She really gave it to him without any doubt.
Then he lowered his head to look for the zipper of the doll's costume. Just as he touched it, someone called him.
"Ji Ning."
Ji Ning looked up blankly, and the front was quickly covered by a shadow. The man took the hood and put it on her head again.
The last image before my eyes when I turned off the phone was him smiling with his eyes downcast, looking three parts ruffian and two parts bad.
Her hands were still inside the doll costume, and she couldn't pull them out. She could only shake her head and "mmmmm" in protest, but the man only covered her hands tighter.
"Ji Shiyan," Jiang Sheng, who was passing by, finally couldn't stand it anymore, "Have you been under a lot of pressure recently?"
Finally, he was released from the hood. While taking a deep breath, Ji Ning heard Jiang Sheng continue to say, "I will just assume that "Shi Qiu" is about to be released. You haven't had a new movie for so long that you feel the pressure from the outside world."
Although Ji Ning had already forwarded the relevant news yesterday, he still pretended to be shocked and asked: "Ah? "Shi Qiu" is going to be released?"
Jiang Sheng was shocked to find that it was Ji Ning inside the doll. He took two steps back before continuing, "Yes, it will premiere soon. We have a celebrity premiere group and invited artists in the circle to watch it together."
Ji Ning said "Oh", but before he could say anything, he heard someone shouting, "Ji Ning, come here quickly! Zhuo Gong wants to see you!!"
She emerged from her doll costume, "Here it comes..."
As soon as he turned around, Ji Shiyan called him, "I have something to talk to you about, too."
The girl turned around and looked at him suspiciously.
Even Jiang Sheng looked at him as if he was an odd person and thought, "Why are you still making a fuss here for so long if you have something to do?"
Ji Shiyan said: "Do you want to go to the premiere of "Shi Qiu"?"
Tickets for the premiere where Ji Shiyan will be present are hard to come by. Even the big fan on the homepage was crying last night that she couldn't get one. It's unbelievable that she is actually invited now.
Ji Ning thought he could brag for a year, "Sure, what time?"
"The day after tomorrow, at ten o'clock in the evening."
///
After verbally accepting Ji Shiyan's invitation to the premiere, Ji Ning and Nuonuo checked the itinerary after returning.
Nuo Nuo is just an assistant, and should only need to take care of her daily life, but now she has also taken on half of the duties of an agent, which is quite touching.
"Will I be okay the day after tomorrow night?"
"No, but you were quite busy that day," Nono said, "From 7am to 5pm is the shooting of Xingchen, and then from 7am to 9pm you have lines class. Are you sure you can rush over at 10pm?"
"I think it's just a movie. You don't have to go. It won't be the same if you watch it on your phone."
"That won't work."
The premiere date was of extraordinary significance to the film, and he took the film very seriously. She had been unable to see him before due to various schedule conflicts, but this time she finally had time, and she couldn't miss it no matter what.
"Okay, then go ahead. There are a lot of seniors there, and you can also expand your network." Nono added, "There are several scripts on your desk, all handed in recently. Do you want to take a look?"
The popularity of "Rose and the Wind" has opened a window of career for Ji Ning. Recently, the number of script invitations she has received has increased sharply, and there are many high-quality teams among them.
She is quite cautious in accepting dramas. She will not immediately nod her head just because it is a big IP or has first-tier traffic stars. Compared with traffic, she still values a good script more, so she will spend a lot of time reading each script carefully before making a final decision.
It was already ten o'clock that night when Ji Ning finished reading a fantasy drama. He accidentally clicked into the fan club management group and found that everyone was discussing offline support issues with his cousin.
When the discussion in the group was in full swing, Ji Ning's thinking was broadened by everyone's ideas, and he privately messaged his cousin: Can you convey something to me
Cousin: Okay, you say.
She always has ideas, and she is not shy about expressing them this time: Why don't we set a theme for the support, with seven templates under the theme, and fans who collect all seven will have a chance to win a prize? Put my autographed photos, birthday party tickets and other gifts in the prize pool to stimulate everyone's desire to support, what do you think
Cousin: I think it’s fine! It coincides with my idea! What theme would be better? !
Ji Ning thought about it for about ten minutes before saying, "Why not call it roaming with the little monsters?" On the one hand, there are more cute banners, which are convenient for the little monsters to play with. Then, the seven banners are different but in the same series. For example, the first one is a shell, the second one is a baby, and so on. They move forward in sequence to create the feeling that the little monsters are growing up slowly.
When my cousin went to the group to relay the story, someone quickly guessed the second meaning of Ji Ning: that makes sense, accompanying Ning Ning to fight monsters and level up, she is invincible.
This sounds like it would be fun, could you reserve a copy for me
You are so smart and thoughtful. If you hadn’t become Ji Ning’s woman, I might have fallen in love with you.
///
The premiere day of "Shi Qiu" soon arrived, and before entering the theater, Ji Ning received a call from the company.
When she saw the caller ID, she was stunned for a moment, thinking that the company finally remembered her
The person who called her was Huang Miao's assistant. Huang Miao had almost cut off all contact with her and always had to ask the assistant to come when she talked about work.
"Hello, Mr. Ji Ning, we want to confirm with you, you don't have any plans tomorrow, right?"
Xingchen doesn't have any scenes tomorrow, so logically she should be taking a break, but she is planning to read the script tomorrow.
"Not yet, what's wrong?"
Now the company adopts a laissez-faire policy towards her. No matter what she does, the company turns a blind eye as if she does not exist as an artist. The work she takes is reported by Nono, and the company will not respond. They are just very active when it comes to profit sharing.
"It's like this. We received an invitation and would like you to..." The assistant seemed to be called before she finished speaking. She covered the microphone and replied to her person, "Got it, I'll bring it to you right away."
"Please wait a moment. I'll get something and continue talking to you right away." She explained to Ji Ning.
Then there were sounds of footsteps and a faint conversation not far away. The voices sounded familiar.
—"Now that you've made up your mind, don't hesitate. It's good for both of us. Doesn't she benefit? She's also a beneficiary. Don't you know how much Li Yujia next door is worth now in her last variety show? So what if she gets blacklisted? Netizens are forgetful. She'll be white in two years."
— "My main concern is that she is unsuitable..."
—“Who said it’s not suitable? Look at how well it was broadcasted before. Do you dare to say that those…are useless? Isn’t it…’s credit?”
The voice was intermittent and Ji Ning didn't hear it clearly. She only heard "each take what you need" and so on. Assistant Huang Miao quickly handed over the things and continued with her.
"We've got a call for you for 'Unknown Journey'. It'll start recording at 8 o'clock tomorrow. Remember to get there early."
She knew "Unknown Journey", a very popular national variety show.
Why did the company suddenly give her this job? Did they see that Rose had high ratings and other artists were busy tomorrow, so they wanted to give her a good opportunity
No matter what, if I accept it, I have to go there for the shoot at 8 o'clock tomorrow.
Nuonuo went to arrange the specific itinerary, and then quickly booked a plane ticket for Ji Ning. The filming location this time was abroad, and she had to take an overnight flight to get there after watching the premiere of "Shi Qiu".
A busy day at work couldn't dispel the enthusiasm in Ji Ning's heart. She turned off her cell phone, changed her clothes, and rushed to the cinema.
She arrived not too early, and was stunned by the scene before her as soon as she entered the door.
Many female stars seemed to be here for a fashion show, their evening gowns more formal than those on the red carpet. Ji Ning, on the other hand, looked like he was there to watch a movie, with a bucket of popcorn in his hands.
Although I know that many tickets were given out by the media, and all activities with Ji Shiyan's name have a large flow of traffic, no one would not want to take this opportunity to stand out, but to steal the show like this... seems too exaggerated.
Ji Shiyan, who was sitting in the first row, felt the sound and turned around to see the girl in a T-shirt holding a bucket of popcorn in a daze, like a rabbit that had strayed into a goblin's cave. He couldn't help but find it funny.
Fu Xuan next to him asked him: "What are you laughing at?"
"I don't know." The man lowered his eyes without any emotion. "Maybe he's happy that the show is about to start."
"Shi Qiu" is a drama set in the Republic of China. It tells the story of the ups and downs of the protagonist Fu Shiqiu, from poverty to success.
The subject matter, which was originally box office poison, became popular immediately after the two elements of Ji Shiyan and a great director were added.
Ji Ning restrained himself and ate only one popcorn, and couldn't help sighing. After only ten minutes, he could see the potential of becoming a box office champion. Both the camera tone and the actors were very suitable. The scenes were passionate when they should be passionate, and sad when they should be sad, reflecting the helplessness and confusion of that era.
During the last climax when the hero parted with his beloved wife, some media came to the actress area with cameras and started filming.
The actresses who just seemed listless due to overwork instantly turned into veteran actors, crying bitterly while watching the separation scenes, which made me feel pity for them.
This psychedelic scene forced Ji Ning to hold back the tears that were about to burst out.
No, Ji Ning, no matter how well your husband acts, you can't cry, otherwise you will become a showman.
Unexpectedly, he managed to avoid the show-off scandal, but couldn't avoid the trap set by the media behind the scenes.
Since this is a celebrity movie-watching group, some of the more well-known artists will go in for interviews in batches. The interviews are not long, about seven or eight minutes.
Coincidentally, the group of female stars who had just performed wildly with their acting skills entered with Ji Ning.
"I noticed that everyone was crying at the end. Why were they crying?" the reporter asked.
Actress A, whose V-neck is almost split to her belly: "I am really moved by the spirit of sacrificing the small self for the greater good."
Well said, who would have thought that before you burst into tears you fell asleep on the chair
Actress B, who was wearing pearl earrings sponsored by a sponsor worth tens of millions of dollars, said: "I don't know, tears suddenly flowed down my face. Ji Shiyan's performance is really magical."
Are the crystals so magical that you spend the entire thirty minutes picking at the crystals on your nails
Actress C: "Parting is for a better beginning. Shi Qiu loves his wife very much, but for the sake of the country he has to temporarily put aside this love. I think this is great love."
Yes, you were searching for the plot summary on Baidu just now in order to conduct a better interview.
When it came to Ji Ning, the host changed the question: "Why are you the only one who didn't cry?"
Ji Ning felt like this was a pit dug in front of her, and no matter how she jumped, it would be difficult not to fall.
It’s definitely not okay to say that I don’t want to be like them, but if I say that I wasn’t moved, I’ll probably be scolded and become a hot topic again.
But it was not in vain that he had been harassed by the media for so many years. Ji Ning still had the ability to adapt to circumstances and achieve great results with little effort.
She smiled at the camera and said sincerely, "Liquid foundation is one thousand, mascara is five hundred, inner eyeliner is three hundred, liquid eyeliner is five hundred, concealer is four hundred, and lipstick is eight hundred."
"It's too expensive. I can't afford to cry."
Just when Ji Ning "couldn't cry anymore", the other leading actor was also being interviewed.
Fu Xuan, who wanted to grab the center position on the red carpet, certainly did not give up any opportunity to highlight. In addition to wearing something eye-catching enough, she also kept cueing Ji Shiyan and tried to take advantage of the top spot.
"I used to wonder why he has so many fans, but after working with him, I realized that he is someone worth liking."
The host also responded: "You have worked with so many male actors, who do you think is the most handsome?"
Fu Xuan gave a mysterious yet not mysterious smile: "That must be the one next to me."
"He is not only handsome but also dedicated. He comes to the crew very early every day and discusses the script with me until very late."
Ji Shiyan frowned, not knowing why he "discussed the script with her until very late."
The host struck while the iron was hot: "Who do you think is the most beautiful actress that Ji Shiyan has worked with?"
"No doubt about it."
The man curled his lips slightly and glanced at Fu Xuan beside him.
"Of course it's Ji Ning."
The author has something to say: Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha Fu Xuan:? ? Isn’t it me
Ningning is so much like my sister who cried because her mascara didn't budge and recommended waterproof mascara to me.
Why not give out red envelopes for this chapter
