Chapter 106 Test

Xu Zhizhi had met the screenwriter of this film. The initial idea and storyline of this film were conceived by Chu Lu and Li Feng.

However, the two were not professionals, so they hired a professional screenwriter team to color and write the script, and finally wrote it into the current script.

Xu Zhizhi, a key member of the scriptwriting team, had seen Li Wanwan before. That was why Xu Zhizhi was surprised. It was such a coincidence that the person she saved yesterday was from the crew.

After being stunned for a while, Xu Zhizhi stretched out her hand and said, "Welcome."

"I really want to thank you sincerely for what happened last night. After work this afternoon, I will treat you and your assistant to dinner." Li Wanwan stretched out her hand and shook hands with Xu Zhizhi, then asked with hope in her eyes.

Xu Zhizhi thought about it and nodded in agreement.

Li Feng stood not far away, and after watching the two finish their conversation, he called Li Wanwan, "Come here."

Li Wanwan smiled sweetly and ran quickly towards Li Feng.

"Uncle." Li Wanwan shouted.

Xu Zhizhi raised her eyebrows in surprise when she heard this, but she didn't say much and turned around to put on makeup and change into her costume.

Feng Jie whispered in Xu Zhizhi's ear, "I didn't expect that."

Xu Zhizhi thought about it and realized that both of them had the surname Li, and since the filming had already started and the script had been added, she guessed that they might be uncle and nephew. She signaled Feng Jie to stop talking.

Li Feng looked at his niece who was running over and asked in a deep voice, "You want to go out for dinner with Xu Zhizhi?"

"Xu Zhizhi is the one who saved me last night! She almost got into danger in order to save me." Li Wanwan's face turned pale and she looked a little lonely when she thought of what happened last night.

Her parents treated her well before, but since she was almost 30, they became anxious. They wanted her to get married quickly and have her own new family.

Before this, she felt that her family was so open-minded and harmonious. Except for the occasional unpleasant words they said because of their personalities, she felt that they were actually very good parents.

Unexpectedly, everything was just what she thought. From the beginning to the end, her family was not as healthy as she thought.

Li Feng looked at Xu Zhizhi with a complicated look in his eyes. "Don't think too much. He saved you. You should treat him to a meal and buy him something to express your gratitude."

"I will! I've already made an appointment with Zhizhi to have dinner!" Li Wanwan said happily.

Li Feng reached out his hand, patted Li Wanwan on the head, and let out an imperceptible sigh.

Xu Zhizhi was putting on makeup, and Feng Jie had already come back from asking around.

Li Wanwan is an intern screenwriter. She is Li Feng's niece and was assigned to the position.

Xu Zhizhi said "hmm" and stopped thinking about this matter. Instead, she thought about today's filming scene.

Today's filming is about counterfeiting. Wen Yang accidentally discovered that her boss had an antique that was very valuable. But the boss wanted her to find a fake one, and after the real one was appraised, give the fake one to others to cheat them out of their money.

She decided to take advantage of the situation, so she made her own fakes.

Substituting one thing for another.

Xu Zhizhi not only had to film the counterfeiting process in detail to create a fake product from scratch, but also had to use stealing skills.

Although it was not shot in one day, the fake scenes required several takes.

In other words, Xu Zhizhi needs to give an immersive performance in each of these scenes and gain enough malicious value.

Xu Zhizhi could feel the malice as soon as she opened the script.

She didn't even need to guess, she knew that everything was the result of the system's intervention.

But she couldn't figure out how the system had interfered with the plot these days. Shouldn't the other party's system authority have no effect on reality?

Its previous operations were all limited to her, and the restricted assets and things were only limited to Xu Zhizhi.

Why now, I can suddenly get involved in the creation of this script.

Moreover, this script looked so familiar to Xu Zhizhi.

What is hidden behind all this?

Apart from filming, Xu Zhizhi has been thinking about this matter the most these days. She really can't figure it out, and is also wondering how far the system's tentacles have extended.

After putting on makeup, only Xu Zhizhi and Feng Jie were present. Xu Zhizhi looked at Feng Jie and said, "Sister Jie, if you encounter something that can threaten your life, but that thing is difficult to deal with and you cannot hurt the other party, how will you protect yourself?"

"Ah?" Sister Feng was stunned for a moment, then she thought of Xu Zhizhi's words, and after thinking for a while, she said, "I can't hurt the other party, and my life is threatened. Of course, I want to run away as much as possible! Of the thirty-six strategies, running away is the best strategy!"

Xu Zhizhi pursed her lips and moved, lowering her head in thought, "Is that so?"

"What's wrong? Zhizhi, you've been acting weird these past two days. Remember to tell me if there's anything!" Feng Jie looked at Xu Zhizhi worriedly. It was visibly that Xu Zhizhi's mental state was not right these past two days, and she was afraid that Xu Zhizhi had figured out something on her own.

I hadn't planned to say anything at first, and was just going to observe it myself, but I didn't expect to hear Xu Zhizhi talk about something as life-threatening as this.

Who would think about such a topic? There must be something wrong.

Xu Zhizhi tilted her head and looked at Feng Jie, "It's okay, I was just daydreaming all day!"

"...That's good." Feng Jie said.

After the two finished chatting, Xu Zhizhi stood up and went out, ready to perform.

Just practice your stance, facial expressions, and lines first.

This play has a lot of monologues by Xu Zhizhi. When Xu Zhizhi is alone, she has few lines but has a lot of scenes.

In a temporary residence, Wen Yang looked at the photos he had taken with a greedy look on his face.

She is like a wild animal, with only the desire to catch and get what she wants in her eyes. A collection of greed, she will ignore everything to get what she wants.

After careful consideration, she decided to make something that looked real.

The corners of her mouth curled up into a determined smile, with a hint of provocation. She was very young at the time, and the youthful spirit filled her whole body.

She starts by selecting the clay and takes care of everything from firing to patterning.

She began to move slowly, with a look of surprising seriousness in her eyes.

This feeling is very charming, like a shining light, attracting many people's attention.

Everything started from nothing.

It failed at the beginning, and of course it was a deliberate failure on the spot. Xu Zhizhi's skills made her very proficient in counterfeiting and it was basically impossible for her to fail.

In the movie, Wen Yang went through countless failures before discovering that he didn't need to rinse the porcelain with water in order to briefly fire it to give it the same feeling of age as the porcelain vase that had survived thousands of years.

That is, the feeling of being old.

The discovery was accidental, and the results were better than she had imagined.

She followed her own ideas, discarded the ones she thought were not good, and continued to make the blanks again according to her own ideas, picking up the pen to sketch the pattern of the vase in her mind bit by bit.

In the picture, Wen Yang is sitting, light and shadow cast on her, half of her face is in the sun, and the other half is in darkness.

At this point, the filming should have been stopped, but the camera didn't stop.

The scheduled shooting time has long passed.

Unless Li Feng calls for a stop, no one else on the scene has the right to do so.

In the picture, the warmth of the sun is still being portrayed.

Without stopping, Xu Zhizhi was in it, not realizing that the filming had reached the scheduled time.

Li Feng watched silently, holding the white trumpet, his lips tightly pursed without saying a word.

In such an atmosphere, only Li Wanwan, who knew nothing, had shining eyes.

She looked at Xu Zhizhi, trotted over to her uncle, leaned over and whispered in his ear: "Zhizhi is so good at filming! She is exactly like Wen Yang in the script."

Li Feng didn't say anything. He didn't really want to answer. He just stared at the screen and let Xu Zhizhi express herself freely.

Li Wanwan continued, "Uncle, what do you think? Where do you think Xu Zhizhi ranks among the actors you have met?"

"Go away, go away. If you are asked to praise her, you are the only one with good taste." Li Feng tilted his head, frowned, and drove Li Wanwan away.

Li Wanwan folded her hands over her chest, raised her chin slightly, and said with admiration, "I'm not leaving! I want to watch. Zhizhi is pretty, has good acting skills, and is kind-hearted. I jumped down, and she jumped down to pick me up without hesitation. Without her and her assistant, I would have had a hard time getting up last night even if I wanted to."

Li Wanwan had a lot of words and grievances in her heart, and only when she met her uncle did she want to talk about it all.

In fact, she had heard from a familiar screenwriter before that her uncle didn't like Xu Zhizhi.

The purpose of saying this was also to prevent the uncle from looking at Xu Zhizhi with tinted glasses.

Xu Zhizhi is a very good person, and she hopes her uncle can see the good in her.

"Okay, okay, I know she's fine," Li Feng replied with an unexpected look on his face.

Li Wanwan was so immersed in it that she didn't notice anything wrong and continued, "Uncle, Zhizhi is really super nice! I was picked up yesterday, but she and her assistant took me back to change clothes, take cold medicine, and protect me..."

"Enough! Stop talking!" Li Feng stood up abruptly, and the chair behind him was pushed to the ground with a "bang" sound due to the strong force.

The steel chair fell to the concrete floor, making a loud noise. The harsh sound attracted everyone's attention to the two people.

Li Wanwan was so frightened that she trembled all over and looked at Li Feng in panic, "Uncle..."

The entire crew, including Xu Zhizhi, looked at the two of them, wondering why they suddenly lost their temper and what had happened.

Li Feng's chest rose and fell rapidly, and his eyes were so cold that it made people feel numb all over.

Li Wanwan couldn't help but take two steps back and looked at the uncle who was so strange to her. At this moment, she even suspected that the person in front of her was not her uncle.

Xu Zhizhi wiped the dirt off her hands, stood up and looked at Li Feng who was a few meters away.

The scene fell into deathly silence.

Li Wanwan looked at her uncle timidly and her eyes suddenly turned red.

After a while, Li Feng came back to his senses. He looked at his niece in front of him and said with a hint of toughness: "Stop talking. I still have to film. If you say less, I will film quietly."

"...Okay," Li Wanwan said with tears in her eyes, turned around and ran out quickly.

Everyone in the crew looked at each other in bewilderment, because this scene happened too suddenly.

After Li Wanwan ran away, Li Feng looked around the entire audience with a cold gaze, "Are you all free? Hurry up and film!"

Xu Zhizhi withdrew her gaze, thought for a moment, and then looked at Feng Jie.

The two have been together for two years. Feng Jie understood what Xu Zhizhi meant with just one look and turned to find Li Wanwan.

Even though they are older than them, they may not have experienced much since childhood, so once something happens, it is easy for them to become depressed.

Xu Zhizhi has a good heart, and Feng Jie naturally understands what she means.

Xu Zhizhi sat back and waited for the other director to speak.

She asked Feng Jie to find the other party, not because she was kind enough to meddle in other people's business, but because she wanted to know something.

Li Feng did not let anyone rest, but asked Xu Zhizhi to start filming again.

The corners of Xu Zhizhi's mouth twitched, and she resisted the urge to curse, smiled, nodded, and continued filming.

After repeatedly immersing herself in the play, Xu Zhizhi felt like she was about to become Wen Yang.

We continued filming until the afternoon.

Xu Zhizhi completed the task very well, and her maliciousness continued to rise.

The system remained silent throughout, as if it was a cold and venomous snake watching Xu Zhizhi from the dark.

Everything is surging beneath the calm surface.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the crew finished work on time.

There weren’t many night scenes to shoot, so Li Feng scheduled them all for later stages, unless the scenes could be shot continuously during the day.

Li Wanwan had already calmed down and came back, holding Xu Zhizhi's hand and chatting and laughing.

"I've made a reservation at a famous western restaurant. The three of us are going there. The steak there is delicious!" Li Wanwan passionately recommended it to Xu Zhizhi in a low voice, her eyes filled with excitement.

Xu Zhizhi nodded, put on her black windbreaker and put on a mask.

Feng Jie didn't move too quickly. She had already carried the things and put them in the car.

Li Wanwan also had a car, and they soon arrived at their destination.

Xu Zhizhi is a public figure, so Li Wanwan booked a private room.

After sitting down, Li Wanwan asked the two to order their dishes, and then waited for the waiter to leave before speaking softly.

Li Wanwan has a semi-cheerful personality, which means that she sometimes appears cheerful, but is actually a somewhat sensitive person.

According to her, it was because her parents liked to interfere in her life when she was a child.

Xu Zhizhi could guess from yesterday's scene that two people who are extremely manipulative and speak ill of others when things don't go their way cannot raise a carefree and cheerful daughter.

As for getting married, it is actually just a part of the manipulation.

This is also where Li Wanwan's breakdown came from. Before, they probably had similar views, so there was no big friction. Li Wanwan was also used to it, and whatever he said was what he meant.

Until the issue of marriage came up, Li Wanwan was reluctant but still accepted the arrangement.

Then the news broke, Li Wanwan couldn't accept it, but her parents thought it was just a joke after dinner.

It's not that they don't take it seriously, but they think there's no need to take it too seriously and just say a few words about it.

Li Wanwan couldn't accept it, the unilateral tolerance disappeared, and the conflict became irreconcilable.

Li Wanwan finally realized that those experiences were wrong, and finally broke down and chose to commit suicide.

The two sides talked about family life, and under Xu Zhizhi's deliberate guidance, Li Wanwan told her everything.

During the conversation, Xu Zhizhi asked about Li Feng.

Li Wanwan also said something.

Her uncle was married, and the couple lived in harmony and were financially comfortable, but he had a son who had weak legs and feet and was in poor health. He lived in seclusion and she rarely saw him.

When Li Wanwan talked about her uncle, she thought about what happened during the day and felt aggrieved.

She didn't say anything as to why her uncle was so angry.

Xu Zhizhi comforted her and told her to be at ease and not to think too much.

The meal was quite pleasant. Li Wanwan felt extremely relaxed, as if she had had a mental spa.

Xu Zhizhi just smiled and said nothing. Her knowledge of psychology was on par with that of today's psychology experts.

On the way back, Feng Jie asked curiously, "Zhizhi, did you offend Li Feng in some way? Why is he so against you? He won't even listen to a nice word."

Xu Zhizhi shook her head, indicating that she didn't know.

Even if she knew something, she couldn't say it.

Returning to her room, Xu Zhizhi walked into the bathroom and turned on the faucet.

She looked at herself in the mirror. She had delicate eyebrows and eyes as clear as autumn water, fair and delicate skin, and a slim figure.

She looked at the beautiful diamond necklace around her neck and thought about the person who gave her the necklace.

She pulled out her cell phone and sent a message.

Knowing to Know: Qin Su, let me ask you a question. How did Sleeping Beauty wake up?

Qin Su: Because of love.

Knowing that you don’t know: It’s not because of the kiss?

Qin Suo: No, because of love. For example, I love you.

Xu Zhizhi was caught off guard by this straight ball, and her face instantly turned slightly pink. At the same time, her heart was like being soaked in honey, full of sweetness.

Thinking of the important matter, she straightened her expression and continued typing.

Knowing to Know: What if I fall asleep?

Qin Suo: I will tell you that I love you, and dig out the mystery of your sleep and wake you up.

Xu Zhizhi's heart was beating very fast, but the two of them were actually quite dull when it came to their relationship. Xu Zhizhi was usually very slow to express her feelings, and she was very straightforward, so the two of them didn't talk about love very directly.

Hearing these words suddenly, Xu Zhizhi felt like her heart was about to jump out.

She placed her cell phone on the table and looked at herself in the mirror.

Xu Zhizhi's eyes in the mirror were shining, and she looked filled with happiness.

The person she trusted most was Qin Suo.

Others will do what they want for themselves, and do a lot of things.

But that was to repay her for her help and because they thought she was a good person.

If her parents were exposed, would they still be her parents? Would they still be willing to help her?

Xu Zhizhi wasn't sure.

She wasn't sure, in some operations, that they would trust her unconditionally.

It was her that Qin Su fell in love with, and it was not her help that he liked. She knew that Qin Su had been waiting silently before.

Of course, love cannot conquer everything.

But Qin Su's character, his trust in himself, his perseverance and strong inner core make Xu Zhizhi believe in him.

Trust him and you will get all the clues.

No matter what, Qin Su would stand by her side unconditionally and choose to help him.

Xu Zhizhi looked at herself in the mirror and felt completely relaxed.

Well, just wait and see, the real competition will begin.

After thinking about it, Xu Zhizhi turned around and left.

The next day, Xu Zhizhi continued filming as usual.

Allowing the maliciousness and the state of immersion to erode her, Xu Zhizhi's self disappeared at a very fast speed.

At the same time, her acting skills have improved significantly, and Li Feng finally praised her.

The atmosphere on the set also became harmonious.

The shooting quickly mastered the skill of magic, and with this, Wen Yang made tens of millions.

She stood on a high platform, with iron chains around her and a swimming pool below her.

The distance was eighteen meters. To jump down, she had to untie the iron chains on her body and then fall into the prepared net.

If the iron chains were not removed, she would be hanging in the air and would be paralyzed on one side of her body due to inertia of the lumbar vertebrae.

Although the director did not arrange such a dangerous situation for Xu Zhizhi, the jump and untying must be done. The safety measures are dropped in the air, and Xu Zhizhi is not worried about being injured if she cannot untie it.

The props were also arranged by Xu Zhizhi, who had very professional communication with the props team for this purpose.

Li Feng searched for a long time before finding a suitable place for the actual shooting.

Wen Yang stood on the diving board and began to speak the lines he had prepared to fool the audience.

"...jump down! You all know the result. Without further ado, please witness..."

Wen Yang stood there, looking very scared. She looked at the policeman who was chasing her in the distance and smiled provocatively.

She has notified the police and she will rob the bank tonight.

A man robs a bank alone.

In the eyes of many people, this is simply unbelievable.

The police didn't believe it either, but he came anyway.

On the extremely high platform, the water in the swimming pool was sparkling, and there was a huge net above the swimming pool.

The exciting scene begins.

After finishing the speech, Wen Yang smiled and quickly jumped down amid the cheers of the audience.

The half-length steel cable hung straight down without any curve at all.

In the air, Wen Yang began to quickly break free from the restraints on his body.

The action is fast, and under the high-speed camera, the real excitement and screams of excitement are heard one after another.

Then, at a critical moment, Wen Yang untied the rope and fell into the net.

At this moment, huge banners fell down along with the cheers of success.

But to everyone's surprise, this was not a celebration of the other party's magic success, but an announcement of the success of the bank robbery.

After answering the call from his colleague, the policeman stood up quickly and rushed towards Wen Yang. However, Wen Yang had already opened the bottom of the net and fell into the water, disappearing like a mermaid.

The police watched angrily how Wen Yang disappeared.

He received a call from his colleague at the bank, saying that tens of millions of dollars had disappeared without leaving any trace.

It's as if the money had never existed.

From then on, the hunt for Wen Yang reached its peak, after which she received a call from her parents.

She chose to ignore it.

After the performance, Xu Zhizhi sat alone for a long time.

Feng Jie immediately realized something was wrong. Xu Zhizhi seemed to be immersed in his own world and could not hear what she said.

"Zhizhi, Zhizhi," Feng Jie stretched out her hand, patted Xu Zhizhi, and called her to come back to her senses.

Xu Zhizhi came back to her senses after a while, and looked at Feng Jie blankly, "What's wrong? What did you call me for?"

Feng Jie's face changed and she looked at Xu Zhizhi, speechless for a moment.

Xu Zhizhi lowered her eyelashes, then raised her head as if she had thought of something, "I am getting into the role, right?"

"Yes..." Feng Jie nodded worriedly.

Xu Zhizhi pursed her lips, with a confused look in her eyes, then looked at Feng Jie and said, "It's okay, just wait for me to recover."

Feng Jie nodded hesitantly.

She was already thinking in her mind that Xu Zhizhi's situation seemed very wrong.

She was going to go back and look for some connections to ask what to do if she got too caught up in the role.

I think so, but there is no way to do it.

Because Feng Jie knows a lot about the entertainment industry, including how to get into acting.

It is actually normal for actors at home and abroad to get into the role because it is convenient for acting and can achieve the best effect.

She has filmed many scenes with Xu Zhizhi, and she knows clearly that many directors have asked her to get into the role during filming.

But no one has ever told me how to exit a role. Just like entering a role, exiting a role depends entirely on your own understanding.

Nothing had happened before, so Feng Jie didn't pay much attention to it.

But this time the situation was too unusual, and Feng Jie was afraid that something might happen to Xu Zhizhi.

If it were an ordinary actor, Feng Jie would not worry.

But Xu Zhizhi is different. She takes acting very seriously, so getting into the role is a very dangerous act.

There have been more than one cases reported both at home and abroad where actors were unable to get out of the role and ended up committing suicide.

Feng Jie realized that Xu Zhizhi had entered the role, and she frowned. For a moment, she actually felt isolated and helpless.

She helped Xu Zhizhi up and walked aside, glancing at Li Feng who had a look of satisfaction on his face.

This person is much worse than Xu Hua who has a sharp tongue.

Xu Zhizhi looked at Feng Jie's expression and reached out to pat her.

She sighed, thinking that she had just spent more time on the show than before. After four or five minutes, she realized that she was not Wen Yang.

"Are you okay, Xu Zhizhi? Is it because you're so immersed in the role that you can't get out?" Li Feng rarely showed concern for Xu Zhizhi's condition. When he heard that Xu Zhizhi was so immersed in the role, he expressed his concern for her a few words.

Xu Zhizhi raised her eyes and looked at Li Feng, her lips twitching slightly, with a hint of hostility in her eyes, "Director Li actually cares about whether I'm out of the role or not?"

"...I just hope you feel better..." Li Feng stammered with a hint of guilt in his eyes.

Xu Zhizhi stood up from her chair, looked straight at the person in front of her, and said in a cold voice: "I think you really hope that I will stay in the role and not come out."

The body's reaction cannot lie. Upon hearing this, Li Feng took a half step back and looked away from Xu Zhizhi.

Feng Jie listened to the director's words and stood next to Xu Zhizhi to show her support.

After Xu Zhizhi finished speaking, she turned around and took Feng Jie away.

Li Feng turned around and looked at Xu Zhizhi who was leaving, his eyes full of confusion and a slight panic.

--------------------

I'm almost recovered. I hope all the little angels who caught a cold will get better soon!
