When filming the next day, Ji Ning felt that the atmosphere in the room was very subtle.
As a producer, Ji Shiyan arrived earlier than the leading actor. Zhuo Gong, who was always talkative, came into the dressing room and stopped talking when he saw Ji Shiyan. He then started to read the script in silence while doing his hair.
Ji Shiyan was listening to music with headphones and a cup of coffee in front of him.
Ji Ning's eyes were focused only on the cup of black coffee. He curled up in his chair and complained to himself: It would be strange if my stomach could be healthy if I just drink coffee without eating.
The dressing room, which used to be so bustling, seemed to have been muted, with even the sound of the plywood being reduced to a minimum.
Ji Ning glanced at Zhuo Gong and wanted to suggest that they go over the script, but Zhuo Gong sensed her gaze and secretly glanced at Ji Shiyan, as if he wanted to confirm that the man was wearing headphones.
Then, Drogon moved closer to her ear and said, "I'm telling you..."
Ji Shiyan leisurely took off one of his headphones and looked over here leisurely. His clear eyes and stern expression all revealed the six words "You talk, I'm listening".
“… … ”
Zhuo Gong swallowed and shook his head at Ji Ning: "It's okay, I just wanted to ask you what brand of body lotion you use, it smells pretty good."
Ji Ning looked at him with a complicated look for a while before saying, "I haven't used body lotion recently."
Zhuo Gong laughed dryly twice, and the makeup artist finally asked: "Where's the perfume?"
“I don’t really wear perfume.”
She would use it occasionally when she remembered to do so. She also used the brand endorsed by Ji Shiyan. She would stack two bottles and spray them in the closet a few times and that was it.
"Everyone has their own smell anyway," the stylist concluded, "and a person's smell becomes his or her identity, and it's hard to forget. For example, my ex-boyfriend liked to use a certain perfume, and later every time I smelled it on the street, I would think of him reflexively, and I couldn't get rid of it, which made me sick."
The makeup artist laughed out loud: "Luckily my ex-boyfriend didn't wear perfume."
Just like that, everyone laughed and talked about perfume and ex-boyfriends, and the atmosphere in the room became relaxed again.
The morning scenes were filmed very smoothly. After finishing the first half of the day's filming, Ji Ning got back into the car to take a short nap.
It was still very lively outside the car. Zhuo Gong was eating fruit and chatting with everyone. The smile on his face froze when he saw Ji Shiyan slowly approaching.
Fortunately, Ji Shiyan stopped at the director's shed and didn't move closer. Jiang Sheng's voice came from not far away: "Is it fun to be a producer? You don't even take on commercial activities, but you're quite proactive in coming here to be a producer..."
Jiang Shengyi turned around and saw Zhuo Gong, and walked over to him with a smile: "Hey, isn't this the young master Zhuo who is keen on shipping himself and Ji Ning as a couple!"
Zhuo Gong looked down at the script unwillingly, thinking, what's so funny, you don't know that your artist also supports the couple of you and Ji Ning?
It was also at this time that last night's video along with some details came to his mind. Zhuo Gong pondered for a while and suddenly understood.
He slapped his head.
If he had known earlier that the senior named Ji, who seemed pure and indifferent but actually had ulterior motives, also had other intentions towards Ji Ning, he would not have been so foolish as to obediently run aside to memorize the lines!
As a senior, he is so hypocritical, using the transmission of experience as an excuse, but in fact... he is actually using the world of two people to narrow the interaction distance between himself and the CP
Drogon gritted his teeth.
In fact, he had a good impression of Ji Ning before filming "Star", but that good impression was only from seeing her a few times from a distance backstage. Until he found out that he had a chance to work with her, he strongly recommended her with half selfish motives, and she did act well, so she got the role of the female lead.
Later, when they were filming and rehearsing lines together, he gradually discovered Ji Ning's seriousness and dedication, as well as his cuteness in that he was sometimes persistent and sometimes irrelevant.
I thought I could at least happily shoot with her until the end, but who would have thought...
Jiang Sheng slowly sat down next to Zhuo Gong: "Did you see any new CP videos yesterday? Share it?"
Zhuo Gong thought about the bombardment he received last night, holding the script and shaking his head: "Forget it, why don't you ask Brother Shi Yan for it."
"Ji Shiyan?!" Jiang Sheng seemed to have heard a huge joke, "I asked him for a CP channel? Hahaha, are you kidding me? At his age, he probably doesn't even know what Bilibili is!"
Not only does he know it, he's also pretty good at it.
Drogon drew his lips into a straight line expressionlessly.
The videos sent to me yesterday all had high comments and high playback volume.

When Ji Ning returned to the hotel after filming in the evening, it was Song Yu who greeted him while doing weight loss exercises and eating sushi.
Ji Ning pressed his neck: "You still don't have classes these days?"
"What? Are you trying to get me out?" Song Yu stuffed a piece of meat floss sushi into his mouth and said vaguely, "I've only been here for a short time and you're already impatient with me! Have you ever been as impatient with Ji Shiyan as you are with me?"
When Ji Ning heard this analogy, he immediately smiled and asked back, "Then would you cross your legs in front of Jiang Chuan while eating Oreos?"
"What's wrong with that? Jiang Chuan is no different from my husband of fifteen years to me now. Only Pei Hanzhou is worthy of me maintaining my ladylike image at all times."
"… "
"Okay, another change."
Not surprisingly, Ji Ning pulled out the script from the bedside table and began his daily script selection time.
"Hey, I was bored this morning so I looked at the scripts you put up there. Are you going to choose your next play from here?"
"Yes," Ji Ning said, "The better ones at the moment are "Illusionary Healing" and "Mukong", choose one of them."
"I read gossip today and saw the pie for 'Mukong'. It's a big IP, and the male lead has been confirmed. He debuted in a Korean group and officially returned to China three months ago when his contract expired. Damn, he has so many fans. Once he held an event at the International Plaza, and I couldn't even get in the door."
"It's a movie with a big IP and high traffic. It's high-profile and popular. It seems strange not to take it? Is the money paid a lot?"
Ji Ning raised an eyebrow, "The pay they give is indeed the highest."
"Then answer it, answer the fucking one!" Song Yu finished his words and looked at Ji Ning again, "Will you answer it?"
“It’s hard to say.”
"Mukong" is a movie, and "Huanyu" is a costume TV series. Logically, the pay for TV series is higher than that for movies, and movies are more high-end. But since "Mukong" was able to invite a popular star who just returned to China to be the male lead, it proves that they really spent a lot of money on the pay, after all, popular stars are very expensive.
Although the pay for "Fantasy Healing" was low, since it was a fantasy drama that required a lot of special effects, the crew should have allocated the bulk of the funds to the TV series itself. She understood this very well and even felt that it was more worthwhile to spend the money on the drama.
Song Yu said with a "tsk" sound: "Are high pay, big IP, and traffic not enough to attract you?"
"Aren't the results of so many big IPs and traffic enough to wake me up?" Ji Ning turned a page of the script, "It seems to have the highest attention, but it is actually the easiest to fail."
It's just that fans in the fan circle are good at controlling comments and promoting the movie, and the traffic brings its own discussion, giving all parties the illusion that the movie is very popular. In fact, most of the traffic don't know how to act, and only fans are willing to pay for their performances. Many audiences were led in by the publicity and yawned after staying in the cinema for a while.
What's more, the popular actor in "Mu Kong" has no acting experience. It's just that the gimmick seems to be enough, and the box office will not be particularly bad with the fans' guarantee. But as for the reputation... it's uncertain, and it's still unknown whether this big production can make a profit.
In the past few years, audiences were willing to pay for traffic, but now audiences have become more aware and are unwilling to be ripped off.
The most important thing is that the script of "Mu Kong" is very mediocre. I don't know if all the money was spent on the male lead. Many of the big scenes that should have been there were rushed through, giving a feeling that there was insufficient funding.
When she just read the script, she really didn't have any strong desire to act in the role, but the original book of the play had a lot of fans and the director was not bad, which made her slightly shaken.
In comparison, although "Fantasy Healing" is not a top IP, it is also a good one, with first-line directors and first-line actors, a wonderfully written script, rich characters and strong plot conflicts. Except that the gimmick is not as strong as "Mukong", everything else is standard for a high-quality drama.
After pondering for a few more nights, Ji Ning decided to take on "Illusionary Healing".
Costume dramas are the easiest subject to become popular. Most of the big hits this year are ancient idol dramas. She hasn't performed a costume drama for a long time, so it's not bad to give it a try.
She feels that she must not forget her original intention of acting, must not forget the most basic ethics of an actor, and must not be confused by the impetuous market. The most important thing is to perform well in her role.
After hearing her decision, Song Yu nodded and said, "That makes sense. I thought about it the last time I talked to you about it. I think Mu Kong is just a show. It may seem like a great honor to work with a top star, but it's actually easy to get criticized."
"I just missed out on a lot of small amounts of money, and I feel a little sad..."
"Not necessarily," Ji Ning said, "It depends on whether you are thinking in the long term or in the present."
Although it seems like a missed opportunity now, if "The Healing Fantasy" does well in viewership, her value will also rise.
If you only focus on immediate benefits in everything you do and are short-sighted, it will be difficult to manage yourself well.
Ji Ning went to bed early that day. After Song Yu finished editing the video, he looked back at her for a while before crawling into bed.
In fact, Song Yu sometimes admires her very much. There are so many temptations in the entertainment industry, and it is difficult for many people to see clearly, but she can. She knows what she wants and moves forward firmly.

A few days later, the shooting of the show "First Kiss Diary" was about to begin. Ji Ning vaguely felt that there didn't seem to be much time left for the variety show, but he hadn't calculated how many days were left.
That day they went to an amusement park in France, a country where even the language is full of romance and every inch of the air seems to be wrapped in love.
Because they were going abroad, there was no clearing of the venue. After all, clearing of the venue in China was already harsh enough, and the audience probably didn't want to see them surrounded by nothingness every episode.
Except for someone occasionally looking back at them, no one came to disturb them.
After entering the amusement park, Ji Shiyan went to get a map. Ji Ning stood there for a while and saw someone selling blue ice cream with sea salt flavor.
Sea salt had always appealed to her, so she made her way through the crowd and lined up next to the ice cream machine.
Just as she got two ice creams, one large and one small, she heard someone calling her name: "Ji Ning!"
It seemed that he rarely heard his voice getting heavier. Ji Ning turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
Ji Shiyan frowned and walked up to her: "I almost couldn't find you, why are you running around?"
There were a lot of people here, and he only found her location with the help of two chubby photographers.
"I'm here to buy ice cream," the girl raised the cone in her hand, her eyes and eyebrows curved into a smile with a faint glow, "Here."
All the words of blame seemed to be unable to be uttered at this moment.
Forget it, Ji Shiyan thought, let her run around, at worst I can find her myself.
The man turned around and found someone selling balloons not far away, so he bought one and brought it back.
"Hold out your hand," he said.
Ji Ning didn't understand what was going on, so he licked the melting ice cream while stretching out his fingers.
He wrapped the balloon string around a few times and tied it around her index finger.
The girl looked up at the balloon floating in the air and asked, "Why is this happening?"
"It's convenient to find you."
After completing the “logo binding” and selecting the first project, the two walked towards the park.
They bought VIP tickets, so there weren't many people waiting and progress was quick.
You need to swipe your ticket card before entering the project. Ji Ning took out his ticket from his pocket and ran it through the machine. His red fingertips caught the man's eyes.
"Why are your fingers red?"
She then felt it was a bit tight, and raised her finger to take a look: "It seems that the rope is too tight."
Due to poor blood circulation, the front half of the knuckles will naturally turn red.
The man lowered his head and untied the rope. Ji Ning suggested: "... How about I hold it in my hand? Or tie it to the care label of my clothes."
After saying this, he said "Oh" again: "My label has been cut off."
She has sensitive skin, so all labels on her underwear are removed in advance.
The man seemed to be thinking: "Did you wear the ring?"
"What ring?" She blinked.
"The one I gave you."
Of course I carry it with me.
But it was too embarrassing to tell the truth at this moment, so Ji Ning coughed twice and touched his pocket: "I don't know, let me look for it."
When he felt a round ring in his pocket, he raised his voice with great acting skills and said "accidentally", "It just so happened that I wore the same clothes today, and I haven't taken out the ring yet."
In the gentle sunshine, she seemed to hear someone chuckle.
It seemed to resonate with her earlobe, making it feel a little hot.
The man spread out his palm: "Give it to me."
She handed over the ring obediently and watched him wrap the rope around the ring and tie a knot, then reached out and pulled the string to test the tightness.
When he felt it was about right, he put the ring into Ji Ning's index finger.
It got stuck at the second knuckle and I was able to put it on, but it was very tight.
The man pulled it out and tried his middle finger again, but it still didn't work.
Naturally, he moved to his ring finger and pushed the ring inwards. When he pushed it past the second knuckle, he realized something and paused. Just when Ji Ning thought he was going to pull it out—
The man slowly pushed the ring to the bottom.
