Chapter 13 Chapter 13 Want to ride on the popularity
When Ji Hanxi saw Vivienne coming, he almost instinctively avoided her, moved a lot to the side, and stuck directly to Nanzhi.
"Eh? What's wrong?" Nanzhi was watching her own videos and was stunned by the sudden post.
When he looked up and saw Vivienne, he realized what was going on. He patted Ji Hanxi's hand and comforted her, "It's okay, don't be afraid."
"Hmm..." Ji Hanxi nodded slightly and responded softly, looking frightened and aggrieved.
However, behind her back, she kept watching Vivienne's movements with her peripheral vision, giving her a few glares from time to time.
Vivienne sat on the sofa and let two assistants help her take off her headwear and makeup. He looked straight ahead, as if not distracting any of his attention to her.
Everything that happened before was like a dream. Now that the dream is over, everyone returns to reality.
He was still the arrogant and mean Vivienne, indifferent and self-admiring. His sudden approach before was more like a deliberate revenge motivated by evil intentions.
Ji Hanxi thought, yes, it was revenge, definitely revenge.
She stepped on his precious carpet, and he was very angry, so he wanted to take revenge on her. But scolding and ridicule were no longer effective against her, so he changed his method, a method that was more disgusting, excessive, and frightening to her.
She had to admit that his revenge was really successful. She was in a bad mood now and hated him even more.
A message suddenly popped up on WeChat on my phone. It was from Mumu.
"How's it going? How's it going? How's the shoot?"
“I haven’t taken the photo yet.”
"They're filming Vivienne."
"Ah...it's been so long since you took any photos?"
"The entire team originally belonged to Vivienne"
"It's normal to give him priority."
"Let's shoot later."
"This is your first time shooting today."
"It's mainly about adapting to this teamwork model."
“It’s okay if there’s no film.”
"Uh-huh"
"I know."
At this time, the director of the team came over and said to her, "Hello, Miss Ji, since you haven't contacted me before, I don't know what you want to shoot, so I didn't customize the script according to your requirements. Today, I suddenly received a notice, asking you to experience shooting. Um... I don't have a new script here, I can only use the one I wrote before. Do you mind?"
Perhaps because he had been with Vivienne for a long time, he thought that beautiful people all had bad tempers, so the director spoke very carefully, as if he was afraid of making her angry.
"Oh, sure, of course. And just call me Hanxi, don't call me so unfamiliar."
Ji Hanxi's smiling and easygoing appearance made the director breathe a sigh of relief, and he couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, Hanxi, take a look at these scripts. Which one do you want to choose? Tell me when you've made your choice."
"Okay, thank you."
While looking down at the script, Sister Nanzhi also came over. With her super high internet sense and keenness, the two of them whispered and chose one.
"That's it, editor-in-chief."
The director came over to take a look and nodded, saying, "Okay, okay, this is also a church background, no need to change the venue."
When Sister Nanzhi was discussing with her just now, she mentioned that every time Vivienne posted a video, it would create a craze on the platform, so the church style would definitely be popular for a while.
So Ji Hanxi thought, why not just choose someone with the same background as him, and then add the same tag as him after he posts a video, so as to get some popularity!
She still hadn't gotten over the anger she suffered on the 13th floor, and she wanted to get revenge here.
Moreover, the flowers and mirrors mentioned in the script are here, as is the so-called magnificent church. What does this mean? It means it's God's will! It means God destined her to film this, destined her to ride on the popularity!
"If there's no problem, then we'll finalize the script."
The director was about to give the script to the photographer, but suddenly a voice came from the side: "What script? Show it to me."
Ji Hanxi's nerves tensed instantly! What was Vivienne trying to do? Was he trying to steal the script? Given their bad relationship, he was very likely to do something like that.
"I heard that these scripts were rejected by Teacher Vivienne. Maybe she wants to choose them too after seeing me filming them?" She spoke in a sarcastic tone, but with a sweet fake smile on her face.
"That's not the case. Things that are thrown away... can never be picked up again." Vivienne reached out to take the script and said this.
Ji Hanxi was so angry when she heard this! Although he changed the words temporarily, she could tell from his breath what he originally wanted to express. The word "throw away" was not followed by "things", but "garbage".
What he meant was: there's no point picking up discarded trash. What does "discarded trash" mean? The script he passed was considered trash. So, wouldn't she, who chose this script, become a trash collector?
The original words were incredibly harsh! But for some reason, he switched to a milder, more neutral word before he spoke.
He flipped through a few pages and then stopped, as if he was carefully reading the contents.
Ji Hanxi was feeling uneasy. The plot was too obvious. One glance would reveal her little intention of trying to ride on the popularity... People like him were extreme and sophisticated egoists who hoped that everything in the world would be dedicated to him and would never do anything to benefit others.
What's more, with their relationship, let alone benefiting her, not harming her is already the most righteous thing to do.
"This script... can be linked to me." He said thoughtfully.
Ji Hanxi looked at him in shock, and at the same time, alarm bells rang in her heart. How could he be so kind? !
The collaboration between a newcomer with no works and a big blogger with tens of millions of followers will only lead to one result, that is, the newcomer will take advantage of the big blogger's popularity, while the big blogger will not get any benefits from the newcomer.
He couldn't possibly be so kind! He must be plotting something! He would have definitely suppressed her from the very beginning. He couldn't possibly be so kind!
Looking at Ji Hanxi's stunned look, he asked again:
"Don't you want to take advantage of my popularity?"
The hype was brought up so bluntly, and she didn't even know how to respond. This was something she'd been secretly thinking about, so how could it be made public like this?
Seeing that she didn't answer, he smiled:
"If you don't want to rub it, that's the best."
“…”
At this moment, Ji Hanxi understood his plan!
He set a trap! He knew Ji Hanxi's dislike for him, so when he extended an olive branch to her, her first reaction was bound to be suspicion and rejection. He also deliberately brought up the issue of riding on her popularity, so that she couldn't bring herself to openly express her desire for it, forcing her to deny it out loud.
Once she has clearly denied it, then it would be inappropriate for her to follow him and post it with the same tag as him after filming the script. After all, she has denied it in front of so many people. If she goes back on her word, she will be regarded as a green tea who says one thing in front of others and another behind their backs.
So he was waiting for her here. What a vicious and sinister bitch! He was so cunning! Sweet words, but a sharp tongue!
He pretended to be kind enough to try to link up with her, but he actually had no intention of linking up with her at all, right? The first two sentences were both lies, and only the last one was the truth, right?
It would be best if you don’t want to take advantage of it?
Ji Hanxi sneered in his heart. Of course it was good for him. He could make the script invalid without any effort. Letting her finish filming would be a waste of manpower and would not bring any benefits. What a good plan!
Moreover, suppressing the rising star in this way did not harm him in any way. Not only did it not harm him, but it even helped his reputation to a certain extent. After all, as a senior, he was kind enough to propose the collaboration, and it was the newcomer who was ignorant and refused it. How innocent was the enthusiastic senior!
How could Ji Hanxi let him have such a good thing that kills two birds with one stone?
"I wanted to collaborate with Teacher Vivienne, but she's a multi-millionaire internet celebrity, and I'm a complete newbie who knows nothing about anything. I'm afraid she'd look down on me. Also... I was a little hesitant about riding on her popularity, but she's so kind, how can I refuse? If I refuse, wouldn't that be a disservice to her? Isn't that right, Teacher Vivienne?"
Ji Hanxi's words were flawless, and he even pushed the blame on him for riding on the popularity, clearing himself of the blame.
If you have the ability, just cooperate with her. Anyway, you are just consuming his traffic and riding on his popularity, so there is no loss for her.
"Then we have a deal. We can't go back on our word."
He smoothed the blond hair by his ear and spoke softly. He didn't seem angry at being exploited, but rather calm and composed as if everything was going according to his expectations.
Ji Hanxi was stunned. Huh? How could this happen? Shouldn't they have exchanged sharp words a few more times? How could he have agreed so easily?
She felt like she had fallen into a bigger trap. His calculations were not superficial, but deeper. What was he planning... Was he planning on her colluding with him?
Ji Hanxi quickly shook his head to get rid of these wild thoughts.
It’s all this lunatic’s fault. He did some inexplicable things on the 13th floor, and made her become inexplicable too.
"If we want to connect them, we need to rewrite the script," said the director, who had been standing by for a long time. "Although both are set in churches, the content is completely unrelated. One is about Greek mythology, and the other is a cross-dressing video." The script Ji Hanxi chose was the mirror-cross-dressing video that had been popular on Douyin. It was quite common, without any story or deep meaning.
In the early stage, she only needs to wear a white dress, wings, and pure makeup, pretending to be an angel in the church, with the background full of flowers, the sun shining, white doves flying, holy, happy and beautiful.
There was a huge full-length mirror in the church. When she looked in the mirror, everything in the mirror was completely different from reality.
There is a strange witch in the mirror. Although she looks the same, her temperament is completely different. She is wearing a black Gothic long skirt and heavy makeup. There are piles of bones behind her, green-eyed bats are squeaking and flying around, and web-weaving spiders are climbing everywhere. The cold moonlight is projected through the stained glass of the church, making everything look even more weird and strange.
The little angel went to look in the mirror, completely unaware of what was happening in the mirror. She took one look in the mirror and smiled sweetly at the camera.
The witch could obviously see the real world, and her gaze fell on the little angel through the lens.
When the little angel approached the mirror, she also approached the mirror. When the little angel made a move, she also made the same move. When the little angel looked at the camera, she also looked straight at the camera.
"Then rewrite it," said Vivienne.
