Rise and Slay: From Scandal Queen to Academic Genius

Chapter 165 - 149: We’ll Definitely Be Number One in Support


Chapter 165: Chapter 149: We’ll Definitely Be Number One in Support

The behind-the-scenes footage of “Life Experience” shot straight to the top of the trending list.

This time, the footage was strictly reviewed by Director Wang. Without him in it, it’s good to go!

The content is quite simple. It shows Bai Xing actively seeking Ji Xizhi’s opinion on a song, then Ji Xizhi gives her feedback.

Previously, at the end of the stage in Lishui County, Bai Xing had a brief rivalry with Zhu Xiu’an while trying to invite Ji Xizhi to record a song together. Many people recorded short videos during the live broadcast and posted them online.

However, it was later interrupted by Zhong Yulu’s unexpected fall, so everyone couldn’t witness the process.

But now, we’ve finally seen it.

[I laughed till I couldn’t breathe. Uncle Yan one second says, ’Can she even write songs?’ The next second, she really knows how!]

[Silly dog hahaha, sweet drama allergy, so precise. He finally got something right. I allow the Pacific Patrol Team to give him a day off!]

[I was just thinking, why did Bai Xing change this part? Begging to ban forced love, and then Ji Xizhi said restricting personal freedom. The imagery is strong, I instantly lost interest!]

By the end of the footage, Bai Xing’s way of addressing Ji Xizhi progresses from Zhi Zhi to Sister Zhi Zhi, finally to Teacher Zhi Zhi.

Fans were laughing so hard they couldn’t stand up straight.

After a wave of behind-the-scenes footage was released, Bai Xing and Ji Xizhi’s joint edits didn’t disappoint and came out.

Fans clicked in with a sliver of hope, only to find that although the title suggested a duo, the first three minutes of the video were just screenshots of Bai Xing’s various terrified and stunned expressions.

It wasn’t until the end that Ji Xizhi slowly appeared, whispering like a demon, saying, “These lyrics are illegal!”

There wasn’t a sense of couple vibes, instead, it was full of arrest vibes.

Bai Xing himself would have nightmares just watching it.

The popularity of “Life Experience” also climbed up thanks to the trending topic #Ji Xizhi Love Insulator#, with countless people clamoring for more than just behind-the-scenes footage. They want the full episode.

Director Wang lay on the bed, squinting to see fans howling, and he chuckled, ready to announce the release date for the second episode of “Life Experience” on Weibo.

He had just typed a few words.

Then the trending direction abruptly changed.

Director Xu next door had already jumped the gun and released a message.

Director Xu V: Checking in to update everyone, we’re currently in talks with Ji Xizhi for the new episode of Escape Room, and she’s confirmed to participate in the ninth episode. Are you looking forward to it?~~~

Ji Xizhi’s fans saw this and screamed right away.

[Ah, is it true? WTF, WTF, Director Xu, you’re not lying, right?! Aaaaah~~~]

[This battle between directors over talent has finally decided a winner right here? Congratulations, Director Xu, for nabbing the first place!]

[Ji Xizhi is so hard to invite. She refuses collaborations, right? How did you manage to get her on board?]

Director Xu specially replied to the comment.

Reply //Director Xu V: That’s thanks to my exceptional (legal education) skills~ love it~

[Director Xu is awesome, Director Xu is king!]

Ever since Ji Xizhi announced her retirement from the circle, her fan base has been growing. It’s not just the intellectual fans but also many casual fans and variety show fans. Everyone wants to see more variety shows, but Ji Xizhi is only in one show, which is such a shame.

Now, with Director Xu’s announcement that Ji Xizhi will be participating, it’s like opening an opportunity.

As long as there’s good legal education content, Ji Xizhi can be invited!

Fans rejoiced, boosting “Escape Room” to the top of the trending list, conveniently stepping on “Life Experience”’s trending head.

Some overexcited fan even went to the wrong place and commented under Director Wang’s personal Weibo.

[Look at Director Xu, so hardworking! I’m so happy, truly over the moon, woo woo woo Ji Xizhi finally has more than just Director Wang’s variety show!]

Director Wang saw this and his blade flew out!

Damn it! Is there nesting dolls here?! He was just borrowing a bit of Ji Xizhi’s popularity, finally getting “Life Experience”’s heat up, and then Old Xu’s stealing his show’s spotlight, pfft! How shameless!

He was already burning the midnight oil till two or three o’clock because of Old Fan stealing the heat. Now there’s Old Xu too, will he have any hair left?!

Director Wang: Starting to hold grudges.jpg

The news that Ji Xizhi will be participating in “Escape Room” spread across the internet.

Through the night, directors of various variety shows were hit hard. When Ji Xizhi was popular, many directors expressed interest in collaborating with her, but Ji Xizhi didn’t agree, and there was nothing they could do.

Now with Director Xu’s success, fans directly debunked all the excuses of various directors. No more saying you couldn’t invite Ji Xizhi, it’s just that you didn’t try hard enough! Just look at Director Xu!

All the directors got blasted while lying down, and started seeking Director Xu for advice.

Director Xu gained a lot of traffic and managed to fleece quite a number of resources from directors who came seeking advice, earning abundantly till his mouth grinned wide.

This wave of inviting Ji Xizhi really raked in big profits!

Ji Xizhi’s hot trend floated online all night, almost making numerous stars in the entertainment circle envious, jealous, and resentful.

With the fan hype online, weren’t the entertainment circle resources all there for Ji Xizhi to choose from?

Zhong Yulu missed quite a few announcements due to her foot injury in the past few days. Among the directors currently trapped on Weibo, there are quite a few she had just missed.

Zhong Yulu felt unhappy, but she didn’t rashly act again.

On one hand, she had her opinions about Ji Xizhi, and on the other hand, it was about the Ji Family.

She wanted to see what would happen after Ji Tingzhou was out of the picture; how would Ji Xizhi handle it? Would she still hold her current position?

Zhong Yulu couldn’t be sure, but she had plenty of time to wait.

An artist without a sponsor doesn’t last long, and if she can last…

Zhong Yulu gently lowered her gaze, deciding not to dwell on it.

“Sister Lu Lu, it’s a call from Mr. Ji~”

Zhong Yulu was looking at trending topics on her spare phone line, and her assistant brought her phone over.

The Mr. Ji mentioned by the assistant was now Ji Fengyuan.

At the mention of this name, Zhong Yulu immediately smiled sweetly.

She answered the call, and just one sentence from the other side was enough to make Zhong Yulu’s eyes shine and forget all her woes.

Ji Fengyuan said they want to discuss public matters with her team.

They’re planning to make their relationship public!

The trending topic of fans rolling directors didn’t affect Ji Xizhi.

Ji Xizhi continued to study as usual, while the follow-up with “Escape Room” was mainly handled by Xiao Yuan.

“Escape Room” and “Life Experience” were originally two different video-streamed variety shows. They aired at similar times, were live broadcasts, and had a mix of fixed and guest-star combinations.

Previously, since the types were different, no one compared the two shows. Now with Ji Xizhi joining, both shows were instantly put side by side for comparison.

“Escape Room” is an escape type show, always liked by the public. Ji Xizhi’s participation is in the ninth episode, set in a school that has been transformed by the production team. However, the escape show required a full day of recording, so generally, the recording guests arrived near the recording site in advance.

The team booked flights for all the guests a day in advance so they would arrive early.

The flight was scheduled for the afternoon.

Ji Xizhi was still sent to the airport by Xiao Yuan. When she arrived at the airport, many of the show’s guests had already arrived.

The “Escape Room” itinerary wasn’t a secret. Fans of various guests had arrived early to send them off, and there were already quite a few fans waiting on both sides of the airport entrance.

With a backpack upon entering, Ji Xizhi immediately saw a huge banner being raised towards her.

The banner was almost the same size as her own fans’ display in the airport last time, with the same font size.

Except for the content and color.

The one from her fans last time was red, but this time it was yellow.

The content had also changed to “Linxin, fly bravely, we’re always with you!!! Our family will surely be number one in support!”

Ji Xizhi: “?”

The beside her, Xiao Yuan, who was there to send her off, was also momentarily stunned, “They changed the support slogan? How come I didn’t know?!”
