Chapter 401: Chapter 378: Ji Xizhi Under the Mask?!

Ji Xizhi and Qiu Hu arrived at the film crew at the same time, while the female lead Shen Yeyi had already arrived earlier.

After yesterday’s commotion, Shen Yeyi’s condition was even better today; full of energy, when she saw Ji Xizhi and Qiu Hu arrive, she directly picked up two cups of coffee from the table and handed them over.

“Teacher Ji, Mr. Qiu, I’m sorry for the delay in progress yesterday, today I’m treating everyone to coffee!”

Qiu Hu and Shen Yeyi have a good relationship, especially after seeing Shen Yeyi’s Weibo post last night, which he helped repost.

Qiu Hu teased her with a smile: “You think a cup of coffee is enough to appease me? No way, you must treat me to a meal!”

Shen Yeyi agreed wholeheartedly, then turned to look at Ji Xizhi.

Ji Xizhi also accepted Shen Yeyi’s coffee, thanked her, and then, just like yesterday, sat next to Director Jin, ready to work.

Seeing Ji Xizhi behaving so casually, Shen Yeyi didn’t feel disappointed. She moved her recliner from the film crew to beside Ji Xizhi and carefully asked:

“Teacher Ji, can you explain the script details you mentioned yesterday to me again?”

Ji Xizhi responded quickly: “Sure.”

After speaking, she also quickly picked up the script and began explaining the specific details to Shen Yeyi.

Director Jin sat nearby; seeing Shen Yeyi in this state today, she finally felt completely relieved.

An incident like yesterday would not be easy to bounce back from for any artist, yet Shen Yeyi handled it far better than she imagined; she hadn’t chosen the wrong person.

Director Jin gave Shen Yeyi a satisfied look, then turned to look at Ji Xizhi sitting beside her.

When her gaze landed on Ji Xizhi’s serious profile, Director Jin felt a sudden rush of gratitude.

Thankfully, she had agreed to let Ji Xizhi be the legal advisor for “Rival in Love,” otherwise who knows how yesterday’s events might have unfolded. Ji Xizhi could practically be considered the guardian angel of their film crew!

If yesterday’s incident had continued, even if “Rival in Love” were completed, there would be no guarantee against future troubles!

The more Director Jin thought about it, the more anxious she felt, and her gaze on Ji Xizhi gradually took on the flavor of a leading man.

The male lead in the show, Rival in Love: wants to fiercely hold the female lead in his arms, not allowing her to escape!

Director Jin: wants to fiercely keep Ji Xizhi in every film crew as the legal advisor for each show, not allowing her to escape!

Ji Xizhi, who was still explaining: “…”

For some reason, she simply felt that Director Jin was looking at her in a rather intense way.

But since she was explaining the script to Shen Yeyi, she didn’t turn around to ask more. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by novel✶fire.net

After the explanation was finished, the filming officially began.

Perhaps it was the help from the script explanation or Shen Yeyi’s refining by the incident the previous day, during today’s filming, Shen Yeyi was full of vigor, her condition was even better than her best state in the film crew; just like a protagonist in full swing.

The filming was almost seamless, and everything was smooth and successful all day.

The scenes in the classroom were all finished by the afternoon, and the next scene was set to be at the school’s grand auditorium.

The production team had already communicated with the school a long time ago, borrowing the setting for the school’s activities, which would delay for about an hour, and then it could be finished.

Coincidentally, B City University was holding the graduation ceremony for graduates this afternoon, and the “Rival in Love” script just happened to have a scene where the lead couple meets at a ceremony.

The female lead gives a speech as the representative of the graduates, while the male lead quietly arrives below the stage, the two gaze at each other from a distance.

In total, there were not many scenes, hiring extras would be too costly, and “Rival in Love” is a web series, so Director Jin and Shanli, after discussion, simply borrowed the school’s setting.

The school agreed quickly, considering the venue fee was arranged, along with enrollment publicity, and also appearing in the TV series; however, the crew needed to wait until the formal graduation ceremony was over to start filming.

The entire production team of “Rival in Love” finished the classroom scenes and rushed to the graduation ceremony venue to prepare and adjust the equipment.

Ji Xizhi followed Director Jin to the graduation ceremony backstage, but the scene to be shot focused mainly on the emotional change between the leads, and filming it here was convenient enough, with nothing specifically needing Ji Xizhi’s attention. Director Jin gave Ji Xizhi the rest of the day off, but Ji Xizhi stayed with the crew, waiting for Shanli.
