Chapter 323: Chapter 301: This Isn’t Going the Right Way!

The way the director of “Love Begins Here” scolds the leading actors on set is something everyone in the crew knows about.

But now, the director is speaking softly and gently to Ji Xizhi, something unprecedented.

The whole crew: “…”

They weren’t sure if it was more shocking that Ji Xizhi was acting as an extra or that the director’s sudden change in demeanor was more shocking…

But for Ji Xizhi, the director’s sudden change of face was definitely more shocking.

She hurriedly stood up from the stall at the mouth of the alley and continued, “The filming of the crew must prioritize the director.”

From her observations that afternoon, Director Guan’s demands during the filming of “Love Begins Here” were meticulous. A person like this is surely capable, and the more the director demands, the more she can learn.

Director Guan: “No, Teacher Ji, please don’t be so polite!”

Director Guan was beginning to break out in a sweat as he spoke.

He hadn’t directed for very long, and the productions he had worked on were mostly those with small-time celebrities, some of which were merely investments by the producers, purpose-made for the lead actor or actress, with no guarantee of ever airing.

It was just last year that he participated in a web drama that gained some attention, leading to this year’s “Love Begins Here.”

This production has had funding issues since the start, despite his best efforts to reach out to artists he knew, but the budget was too low. Anyone who had moved up the ranks wouldn’t take on a project like this, and he had gradually given up. Just finishing the shoot was good enough.

Director Guan never expected that just as the shooting was about to wrap up, a top star would suddenly appear in their crew as an extra?

A diamond-studded pie fell from the sky!

Director Guan’s mind was so overwhelmed he couldn’t think straight. Now, how could he even worry about something as trivial as how to place his hat?

If Ji Xizhi wanted to ride on the male lead’s shoulders, he wasn’t opposed to considering it!

With Ji Xizhi’s current fame, just showing her face in their crew would attract investment, wouldn’t it?

Director Guan no longer cared about speeding up the shoot. He directly “invited” Ji Xizhi to his exclusive reclining chair.

The young extra who had just apologized to the director on Ji Xizhi’s behalf stood there, completely petrified.

He watched as the new extra turned into the hot star Ji Xizhi, who was then seated on the VIP recliner by the director.

Young man: “.”

What had he just told Ji Xizhi? Teaching Ji Xizhi how to become famous, advising her to know her limits???

With Ji Xizhi’s strength… does she need to measure it?!

The young man turned and faced the wall, beginning his long period of introspection.

–

Ji Xizhi was led over by Director Guan with a bit of pushing and shoving. As soon as she sat down, the screenwriter and the lead actors hurriedly gathered around, chatting with her while pouring her water.

Director Guan stood nearby, occasionally fanning Ji Xizhi with a fan.

Ji Xizhi took the initiative to explain to everyone the process of how the assistant director came to choose her from the extras. She spoke simply and didn’t hide her intentions.

She explained that she was filming the reality show “Life Experience” nearby and needed to shoot a short film as part of a task, so she wanted to visit the set in person to learn.

After speaking, Ji Xizhi further explained that the live broadcast of “Life Experience” did not capture any material from “Love Begins Here,” so the crew could rest assured. Chapters first released on novèlfire.net

Listening to Ji Xizhi’s clear and logical explanation, Director Guan’s mind focused on one key point.

Ji Xizhi wants to learn from the crew! Ji Xizhi wants to learn from their crew!!!

Director Guan’s brain worked fast, seizing the opportunity, and warmly invited, “You are welcome anytime! We will be filming around here for the next few days. If you need to learn or need any help, feel free to ask our crew about directing, screenwriting, cinematography, lighting, anything at all! And if you want to act, we have all kinds of roles available!”

Director Guan covered all angles with his words.

Seeing Director Guan’s eager eyes, Ji Xizhi understood that the most important part of his speech was the last sentence.

However, she still refused.

She shook her head and said, “I’m not very good at acting, so I won’t slow down your progress.”

Director Guan covered his mouth, holding back tears: It won’t slow us down, really!

He shouted internally that it wouldn’t slow them down, though he didn’t say it aloud.

Director Guan also understood that for someone of Ji Xizhi’s caliber, it was normal to refuse since in the past they couldn’t even get in touch with someone like her. But before he could show disappointment,

Ji Xizhi followed up her last sentence with, “However, if you need an extra in the next few days, I could be available.”

In the “Life Experience” crew, Director Wang had already completely let go anyway, and this morning Guan Fengyan and Sheng Yaoyao had discussed targeting stories, with one group focusing on creating stories and the other on earning money.

Staying with the crew as an extra allowed Ji Xizhi to accomplish both.

Perfect!

Standing among the staff and filming the entire process, the PD following “Life Experience” froze:…Hold on, how did this conversation take such an unexpected turn?

The PD felt a sudden and strong sense of crisis on Director Wang’s behalf, without even knowing why.
