After breakfast the next day, Chen Desheng held a mentor meeting and a student meeting. Ruan Ningwei, as Jingxiu said, withdrew from the competition.
Because the eliminated contestants have not left and have time to make amends, in order to prevent the outside world from questioning the program due to the repeated withdrawal of contestants, and to prevent Lu Min and Ruan Ningwei from being ridden by negative news, the program team decided to add some scenes, The number of votes and the ranking table were artificially modified, and Ruan Ningwei's name was directly swapped with the name of the first-place player who should have been eliminated after her ranking.
Before participating in the show, all the players and staff signed a strict non-disclosure agreement, plus Tao Xingruo's prevention and control, so Ruan Ningwei was eliminated without leaking, and the turmoil between Lu Min and her was also similar. It never happened.
After making up the footage, Ruan Ningwei will follow Tao Xingruo back to Beicheng. Before leaving, Ruan Ningwei and Ji Youyan chatted for a while in the background, Ji Youyan thoughtfully did not ask Ruan Ningwei anything about the knot. She only cares about her work and living arrangements after her retirement.
Instead, Ruan Ningwei took the initiative to mention it, saying that she might rest for a few days after returning, go to the hospital to see her mother, and then go to someone to ask something.
Ji Youyan didn't want to go deeper, and promised that in the future, Ruan Ningwei and Tao Xingruo would be enough, but if there is anything she can help with in terms of acting and acting skills, don't be polite, just speak up.
After all, aside from admiration and personal friendship, Ruan Ningwei is still her boss, and even her cousin... eh, cousin? Ji Youyan thought of this, and the corners of her lips curled up involuntarily.
Ruan Ningwei saw her smile tenderly, and asked her teasingly, "Sister Ji, what did you think of, you suddenly smiled so sweetly?"
Ji Youyan laughed and flicked Ruan Ningwei's forehead, trying to hide it, "It's nothing." She opened the bag, took a business card and handed it to Ruan Ningwei, "If you have time later and are interested in the dialogue drama, you can contact this director to watch it. Look." She gave Ruan Ningwei the business card of a drama director who had some personal friends.
Even if the knot is opened, if you want to play with people all of a sudden, there may still be some uncomfortable places. Ji Youyan thinks that Ruan Ningwei can take the show without rushing. The current TV drama shooting cycle is too short. In many cases, the director will not give you time to craft your own acting skills. Generally, it is almost enough to act. The drama is the exact opposite. It can provide you with enough time to cooperate, break in, enter the role, and find a balance between people and drama in the rehearsal with your opponent time and time again.
Ruan Ningwei took the business card and was moved: "Okay, thank you Sister Ji." She said sincerely, "I really appreciate your care during this time. After work, if there is a chance, I will treat you to a meal."
Ji Youyan said slyly: "Okay, then can I eat what you cook yourself?"
She pondered that if Ruan Ningwei and Tao Xingruo lived together, if Ruan Ningwei cooked herself, then she would be able to go to Tao Xingruo's house. Since I went to Tao Xingruo's house for dinner, it's not an exaggeration to ask Ruan Ningwei to invite her cousin Jingxiu
Very good, perfect. In this way, even if the show ends, she will soon have the opportunity to meet Jingxiu again.
How could Ruan Ningwei guess that she had so many twists and turns in her heart, so she readily agreed.
When she was about to leave, Ruan Ningwei suddenly remembered something. Looking at no one around, she cheered Ji Youyan with a smirk: "Sister Ji, as a thank you, I'll tell you one last thing?"
"Um?"
"The day when Teacher Jing comforted me, he mentioned you and said something very sweet and touched me."
Ji Youyan's heart skipped a beat, and hurriedly said, "Ah? What?" The accent burst out.
Ruan Ningwei was unhappy at all, and she said, "I can't tell you this. I promise Teacher Jing. Well, Sister Ji, come on, it's time for me to go."
After speaking, she trotted away, leaving Ji Youyan in place, scratching her heart.
Ji Yuyan's appetite was lifted but not satisfied, she was simply happy and crazy. What did Axiu say so sweetly? ! If you can't tell yourself, what kind of sweet words should be! !
During the class with Jingxiu in the afternoon, Ji Youyan endured it and concentrated on work. In the evening, the two were rarely busy in the study together, and Ji Youyan finally couldn't help it.
With his familiarity with Gu Lingfeng's "Sunflowers in the Night" from the previous life, Ji Youyan started to prepare a biography of the character played by Fang Shan in the previous life in advance. She intends to send a small pass to Gu Lingfeng if she can get the chance to audition, maybe she can get extra points.
Jingxiu was on the right side of the table not far from her, pursing her lips and practicing calligraphy attentively. I haven't calmed down and practiced calligraphy for a long time, and my hands are born. Jingxiu was very dissatisfied with the words he wrote on the paper, which were barely horizontal and vertical but had no structure at all.
Every time she looked at her own words, she would think of Ji Youyan's words, and in turn, gave birth to infinite admiration and love.
She couldn't help turning her head to look at Ji Yuyan, who couldn't take her eyes away from her beautiful profile for a long time. Unexpectedly, the two met their eyes.
Jingxiu was stunned, and subconsciously wanted to turn his eyes away, but after thinking about it, wouldn't it be more strange to avoid
She held back abruptly.
Ji Youyan was guilty of being a thief, and he didn't have time to carefully look at Jingxiu's expression, so he instinctively retracted his eyes and sat upright.
The air froze for a few seconds.
Ji Youyan wanted to cover her face, what was she guilty of? She took a breath, and refocused her eyes on Jingxiu generously. Jingxiu's gaze had returned to the paper.
"Axiu..." She called Jingxiu tangled.
Jingxiu turned to look at her.
"Ning Wei told me that when you comforted her that day, you mentioned me to her?" Ji Youyan asked tentatively.
Jingxiu's brows jumped, and she cursed Ruan Ningwei secretly in her heart. She asked casually, "Really? I don't remember."
Ji Youyan didn't believe that she really didn't remember. If it wasn't important, why did he remember to specifically tell Ning Wei not to speak
She softened her voice a little, with a hint of coquettishness: "Really? Then Ning Wei remembers, can I ask Ning Wei?"
Jingxiu's ears started to turn red. She frowned and looked at Ji Youyan coldly, and said calmly, "Let me ask Ning Wei how?"
"..." Ji Youyan, who sold his teammates, felt guilty.
"No, I'm just asking casually." She changed the subject and asked knowingly, "Are you practicing calligraphy?"
"Hmm." Jingxiu said lightly, an imperceptible smile flashed in his eyes.
"Want me to help you take a look?" Ji Youyan's upper body was carefully tilted towards Jingxiu.
Jingxiu hesitated for two seconds, and then agreed, "Okay."
Ji Youyan smiled brightly, and slid the chair close to Jingxiu. The two of them sighed contentedly when they smelled the unfamiliar and familiar scent of each other's perfume.
"Can I draw a circle with a red pen?" Ji Youyan asked.
"Okay." It's not like they haven't had a time like this before. Jingxiu looked down at Ji Youyan's knuckles holding the red pen, and a faint nostalgia came to his heart.
"What were you doing just now?" Jingxiu's tone subconsciously softened.
Ji Youyan raised her eyebrows and said, "I'm writing a biography of the character." She didn't specify which character she was, and Jingxiu probably only regarded it as the character of the TV series she was about to start in two months.
Jingxiu seemed to have thought of something and grabbed the pen unnaturally.
Unconsciously, she opened and closed the cap of the pen repeatedly, and finally asked, "Did Gu Lingfeng call you?"
"No." Ji Youyan stroked the long hair beside her ear. She used a red pen to circle the areas where she felt Jingxiu was lacking one by one.
"Sister Wei said, he is still waiting for news." Ji Yumi has already announced that he has retired from the circle. Gu Lingfeng is now looking for a new candidate. Wei Yizhen has contacted Gu Lingfeng, but Gu Lingfeng has never given her an exact reply.
"Is that so." Jingxiu's voice lowered. She opened and closed the pen cap repeatedly. After a while, she put down the pen, stared at Ji Youyan and said, "I called Gu Lingfeng."
Ji Youyan moved for a while, and his heart was up and down. What's the meaning? Did Jingxiu call Gu Lingfeng and tell him not to choose him? Does she not want to play opposite herself
Fortunately, what Jingxiu said was: "I made my own decision and recommended you to Gu Lingfeng." Her face was unhappy, but her heart was full of anxiety.
"He asked me for my opinion on the candidate, and he and I suggested that you should be considered."
Jingxiu's eyes locked on Ji Youyan's face, afraid of missing any reluctance that Ji Youyan could not hide.
This is what she wanted to tell Ji Youyan about after she and Ji Youyan talked about Tao Xingruo yesterday. But Ji Yuyan gave her too many surprises yesterday, and it went round and round on her lips. In the end, she still dared not speak.
Ji Yuyan's change was too sudden, she had no confidence. She didn't know if her heart that was raised high because of Ji Yuyan's words yesterday, if she suffered a sudden change from Ji Yuyan and fell severely, would she be able to bear it.
Just let it go, let yourself have a good night first. With such an escape mentality, she didn't have the courage to speak out yesterday.
Ji Youyan's thin lips grinned, and he said like the rest of his life: "It scared me to death."
Jingxiu's red lips pursed into a straight line nervously.
"I thought you and Gu Lingfeng called and said don't choose me." Ji Youyan said half-jokingly.
"Actually, I'm a little embarrassed. It's not enough to hype you up, and I asked you to help me ask for favors. Am I embarrassing you?" Ji Youyan stared at Jingxiu's eyes and bit her lip, "But, thank you. You, really. Because I… really want to be in this movie."
She chose to be honest. If she can act in this movie, in addition to being able to interact with Jingxiu, it is also an excellent stepping stone for her to move to the film industry.
Jingxiu's red lips trembled. Looking at Ji Youyan's calm and sincere appearance, she was overjoyed, and she was at a loss as to what to do.
Panicked, and a little embarrassed. The grievance was late, and she never dared to show it in front of Ji Youyan when she was thankless before.
"You don't need to thank me, besides you, I also recommend others." Jingxiu said in a businesslike tone, "Besides, Gu Lingfeng has not contacted you until now, which means that he may have chosen someone else I recommended." In fact, she only strongly recommended Ji Youyan, and everyone else just took it casually.
Ji Youyan laughed: "Then he will regret it." She is confident that she can act better than Fang Shan. After the movie was released that year, many moviegoers said when they wrote short reviews that Fang Shan did not perform well, this movie could have been more perfect.
"Until the end, there is still hope." She started drawing circles again.
Jingxiu looked at her smiling face, and his heart swayed. Ji Youyan's optimistic and confident attitude seems like... the Ji Youyan she fell in love with at first.
"This word, you have to write a little bit open to look good, and the stroke order is not like this..." Ji You explained in a eloquent manner, slowed down his movements, and wrote it to Jingxiu.
Jingxiu's eyes naturally fell on Ji Yuyan's long fingers, which were as slender as light white. She watched her knuckles move forward and back flexibly, and one after another elegant and agile words appeared on the paper.
She sighed with emotion more than once, Ji Youyan's hand is really clever. Playing the piano, writing, drawing, seems to be omnipotent. Whether it's playing the piano, or the strings in her body.
Jingxiu's throat slid. The tip of the ear is red and bleeding.
She looked away in time, slid the chair to the side a little, and said coldly, "Okay, I understand. I'll practice by myself, and you can keep busy with your business."
Ji Yuyan stopped writing in astonishment.
She blinked, slid away a little, and said softly, "Oh, okay."
Did she get too close to make Jingxiu uncomfortable? Ji Yuyan reflects in disappointment.
