Chapter 406: Chapter 381: Couldn’t Someone Have Informed Her?
Ji Xizhi came back to Director Jin amidst a cacophony of voices.
She originally wanted to ask if she had affected the filming, but before she could speak, Director Jin interrupted:
“Wrap it up! The crew is treating everyone to late-night snacks tonight!!!”
As he spoke, Director Jin patted Ji Xizhi on the shoulder, wearing a sycophantic expression on his face.
“Eat a lot more!”
Ji Xizhi: “…?”
“Director Jin, did I affect the filming just now?”
Ji Xizhi thought for a moment and still took the initiative to ask.
Director Jin’s smile grew wider, and he nodded in response: “Affect! It definitely affected the filming!”
Ji Xizhi: “Sorry, then I…”
She hadn’t even finished her apology.
Director Jin patted her shoulder even harder, “I’ll give you a raise! Double it!!!”
It’s not just today’s issue, but also the extra role scenes, and what happened with Shen Yeyi yesterday. Ji Xizhi has done so much for their crew!
Ji Xizhi was bewildered by Director Jin’s sudden twist.
She rarely showed a confused, dazed expression, and uttered an “Ah?”
Director Jin, looking as if he understood everything, retracted his hand from Ji Xizhi’s shoulder to his chest and patted twice: “Don’t worry, it’s after-tax!!!”
Ji Xizhi: “…”
No matter what, the word “after-tax” gave her a lot of relief.
The incident of Ji Xizhi’s everyday life interacting with fans quickly went viral online.
The previous trending topic #BeingAStarChaserLikeChasingJiXizhi# was pushed back up, and the comment with tens of thousands of likes “What is she busy with all day?” gained tens of thousands more replies instantly.
——What is Ji Xizhi busy with all day?
——Thanks for inviting, she’s busy with part-time jobs presenting graduation certificates to fans, taking photos, holding hands, hugging, piggybacking, princess carrying…
——Come and see, my idol personally handed me my graduation certificate!!! A graduation ceremony graced by an idol, it’s too awesome!
——I was leaning on Ji Xizhi’s back!!! The graduation photo feels dreamlike… Can’t tell real from fake!
——What is Zhi Zhi busy with? Can’t you see? “Intertwined fingers hand-holding.jpg” Welcome everyone to our wedding, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime event!
——Hmm? Your idol only signs autographs for you?
For a long time afterward, Weibo’s trending search resembled juggling, catching trending topics about celebrities showing their love for their fans every few days.
Things like some female artist carved flowers for fans with carrots, some male artist carried a fan and ran a kilometer, some artist did a handstand and rapped for fans, some artist danced with their toes for fans…
Methods of fan service that were never thought of before were being tried by the celebrities, especially those waiting to rise to fame, wishing they could come up with a hundred tricks every three days, and agents from all the major entertainment companies racked their brains for ideas for their artists.
Ji*The Culprit Stirring The Entertainment Circle*Zhi Zhi was still unawares, quietly working in the “Rival in Love” film crew as usual.
Once the school scenes in “Rival in Love” were done, there were still scenes left at the agency, court, and other locations. Ji Xizhi stayed with the crew for a few more days to oversee the major scenes gathered together.
When Ji Xizhi finished and left, Director Jin even followed the custom of giving a wrapped-up gift to artists, giving Ji Xizhi a small red envelope.
Director Jin: “These past few days have been hard on you, here, a red envelope…”
The red envelope in Director Jin’s hand hadn’t even been given out.
Shen Yeyi, Qiu Hu, and other staff members around them began pulling out various gifts from their bags.
Shen Yeyi: “Teacher Ji, I’m from G Province. These are some specialties from my hometown, great for soup, try them when you get back!”
Qiu Hu: “I’m from N Province, our family’s beef jerky is handmade and super chewy!”
Assistant Director: “I’m from Y Province. Got some walnuts for Teacher Ji, you need to nourish your brain for studying!”
Shanli: “Hmm? Then the two packs of rabbits heads in my room, you can take them too. If you like them, I’ll send them to your house next time!”
…
Scattered around, Ji Xizhi came with a small bag only, but was carrying a disaster-relief large bag when she left.
Director Jin watched as everyone in the crew meticulously prepared specialties from each province. His half-extended red envelope suddenly seemed out of place; he wasn’t sure whether to give it or not.
Director Jin: You guys! Giving specialties is fine, but couldn’t someone give her a heads up?!
Someone among the staff nearby overheard Director Jin muttering, answered quietly:
“Who doesn’t know, Ji Xizhi takes home specialties even when she attends shows? Ji Xizhi even brought back ghosts from ’Supernatural Escape’. Our crew can’t lose!”
Director Jin: “…”
Though exasperated, Director Jin still firmly handed the prepared wrap-up red envelope to Ji Xizhi.
The envelope didn’t contain much cash; it was just for good luck.
Not to mention, the crew’s collective gifts almost covered the full range of each province’s specialties, which was enough.
Any more, and Ji Xizhi would have needed to call in a tow truck!
–
As soon as Ji Xizhi left the “Rival in Love” crew, she received a collaboration message from the VIX brand endorsement side.
VIX is a clothing brand that only emerged a few years ago, quickly gaining popularity because of its unique designs. It stood out among many brands. However, in recent years, with all the major brands putting effort into designing new styles, V Family’s limelight has gradually been snatched away.
In recent years, V Family can only be described as lukewarm in popularity. Some entertainment celebrities wear V Family’s new styles, but not many can truly drive sales. V Family can’t afford big-name endorsers, so every season, there’s some leftover designs that get phased out.
On that day, Ji Xizhi changed into an older V Family design in President Chen’s room.
V Family was just about to take this old design off the shelves.
But before they could, amidst the preparations, that dress was sold out entirely because of Ji Xizhi’s surprise appearance in a trending photo.
Sold out on all fronts!
And not just that dress, other clothing styles, whether new or old, saw explosive sales on all platforms for V Family these days.
V Family’s sales surge far surpassed the announcement of their spokesperson.
Later on, when V Family investigated, they found out that it was Shaneli, the screenwriter of “Rival in Love”, who posted a full 9-grid photo of Ji Xizhi wearing that dress on Weibo.
With Shanli’s great photography skills and Ji Xizhi’s stunning looks, combined with the dress being very suitable for her, the design advantages of the dress were brought out to the fullest.
While spectators were stunned by her beauty, someone naturally noticed the unique feature of the V Family dress, praised it, and extended it to compliment V Family’s new styles.
Initially, V Family was still competing with other brands to release new styles. Now, they cruised to an effortless victory.
Countless fan influencers spontaneously ordered V Family’s new styles, trying them on and promoting them.
V Family literally won big.
And today, V Family’s purpose in contacting Ji Xizhi was straightforward. Googlᴇ search novel⟡fire.net
Everyone in the entertainment circle knows that Ji Xizhi generally doesn’t take endorsements or advertising.
V Family is just a clothing brand; they can’t just specialize in selling clothes suitable for the courtroom, could they? Should they sell to judges, lawyers, or the accused…?
After much consideration, the other day President Chen’s incident uncovered more scandals under investigation, exposing a whole can of worms.
V Family’s executives deliberated for days, and the final message to Ji Xizhi was this.
V Family plans to establish a legal aid initiative funded by the revenue from the past few days, targeting the public as well as all artists under duress, with Ji Xizhi providing some support to the initiative.
