Chapter 27 Chapter 27 Filming in Progress
Ji Hanxi was obviously stunned when he heard this.
Does Vivienne have friends? Would she treat her friends to a meal to help them? That's really rare.
Nanzhi was trying on lipstick at her seat. When she heard this, she raised her hand and took out two pieces of paper to wipe off the lipstick.
"What the hell! What day is it today?! I've been in the company for so many years, and I've never seen him order anything for anyone in the company, not even a cup of milk tea. Why is he so generous this time?"
She stood up, as if wanting to verify the authenticity. When she left her workstation, she saw Ji Hanxi still sitting there in a daze, and couldn't help but urge her, "Hanxi, what are you doing here? Let's go eat something."
"Okay, I'll be there." Ji Hanxi put the rice balls away and went to the tea room with her.
A large crowd had already gathered there, and all sorts of pastries were laid out on the table: chicken feet, steamed pork ribs, shrimp dumplings, beef balls, barbecued pork buns, radish cakes, spring rolls, fried rice noodles, red rice sausage, pan-fried dumplings, swan cakes...
Each dish is served on a small plate. Although it is a takeaway, it is extremely exquisite and even specially arranged.
It was already 10:30, neither too early nor too late. Most of the colleagues had just finished breakfast and were not hungry at all, so they picked up a few pastries to satisfy their cravings.
Ji Hanxi picked up her chopsticks and a small plate and scooped up a piece of shrimp dumpling to try. It was sweet, juicy, and incredibly delicious! One taste told her it was from a prestigious restaurant, not a pre-made dish.
"Sister Nanzhi, try this, try this, it's super delicious!"
"This is also delicious. Come, let me give you a try." Nanzhi scooped half a bowl of boat porridge and savored it carefully. When he heard Ji Hanxi talking to him, he scooped a spoonful and put it to her mouth.
After taking a sip, Ji Hanxi was immediately captivated, "Oh my god! This is delicious too!"
I don’t know if it was because she was too hungry or for something else, but Ji Hanxi felt that this restaurant was really to her liking. She ate so much that she was so full that she didn’t need to eat lunch.
She took a photo of the restaurant name on the takeaway and planned to order from this restaurant next time she wanted to eat there.
"Sister Nanzhi, I'm full."
"Hmm, eat two more bites, two more bites, there are still so many."
"Leave it for the other colleagues as lunch. I ate too much staple food and feel a bit dizzy. I want to go back and rest first."
"You go ahead, wait a minute, I'll go back with you." Nanzhi put some of each kind on a small plate, and then walked back with Ji Hanxi.
Back in the content department, Nanzhi opened her tablet and ate while watching TV series.
Ji Hanxi lay on the table, feeling drowsy. He had a shooting assignment in the afternoon, so he decided to take a light nap in the morning.
She opened her phone to find a sleep-inducing video, but suddenly saw the conversation interface, and her chat with Crush came to an abrupt end.
!!!
Ji Hanxi's sleepiness was instantly awakened! She was so focused on eating that she completely forgot about his existence.
Oh my god, how could this happen? What should I do now? She's in the middle of a conversation and suddenly stopped texting him. Will he think she hates him? She hates the nickname suggestion, so she's not texting him? Help, that's not what she meant at all. She really loves the idea. She's moved by it.
Ji Hanxi typed a line of words in the dialog box:
"My colleague ordered food for the whole company."
"I'm going to eat something."
After typing, she silently deleted the message. Please, not replying to his message because you're eating makes you seem greedy. And putting food ahead of him, he'll probably feel ignored, right?
Ji Hanxi thought for a while, then replied:
"I've been thinking about what nickname to give you."
"I've been thinking about it for a long time."
"I was so lost in thought that I forgot to reply your message."
She looked at the reply again and again, and was extremely satisfied.
"Have you thought about it now?" asked the other party.
"I figured it out."
"What?"
Ji Hanxi sent a moon emoji.
"moon"
"Uh-huh"
"Why this?"
She originally wanted to tell the other party the meaning and origin, but after hesitating for a moment, she finally replied:
"I won't tell you."
"Guess for yourself."
"Um……"
"Give me a nickname too."
After a while, the other side replied:
"I've taken it."
"What is it?"
"You'll know later."
Later...did this sentence mean that they had a future? Would he tell her in person what his nickname was when they met again?
Thinking of this, Ji Hanxi silently felt a surge of anticipation. By then, they should have been chatting very well. Would they have confirmed their relationship through online chat? What would it be like when they met? Would they hug? Would they kiss? Yes... She didn't dare to think about it any further, fearing that it would only make things worse.
Ji Hanxi changed his note to the moon, the reason was very simple——
In Zhang Ailing's "Love in a Fallen City," there's a line: "The moon at the bottom of the sea is the moon in the sky, and the person before me is the one I love." The moon refers to the one I love. And she longs for the bright moon to shine only on her, hoping that the moon hopes that her lover will love only her.
This meaning is relatively easy to understand for Chinese people, but the person opposite is of Chinese-French descent and has lived abroad for many years, so I don’t know if he can understand this meaning.
Saturday came quickly, and the scene needed for the cover this time was a mansion, preferably one that was decorated very exquisitely and luxuriously.
The magazine contacted many filming locations, but the photographer was not satisfied with any of them. Finally, Vivienne provided a house.
It was a small villa. Although the location was not particularly prosperous, in this city, buying a detached house in the worst area would cost at least several million.
He never lived in the house after he bought it.
Or perhaps his original purpose in buying this house was not to live in it, but to store various luxury goods and collectibles.
Ji Hanxi followed the filming crew into the house and was shocked by the dazzling collection of jewelry as soon as she entered.
The things here are more numerous and more expensive than those on the 13th floor. Although there are also a lot of shoes, clothes and bags, compared to the 13th floor, which is more like a cloakroom, this place is more like a small museum. Some of the things inside can be said to be priceless.
"I've prepared several sets of clothes for this shoot. Do you think they're suitable?" Vivienne said to the photographers while sitting on the sofa and smoothing her long hair.
In fact, the magazine has prepared clothes, but in terms of texture and color, they are definitely not as good as the real luxury products here at Vivienne.
After hearing the instructions, the two assistants immediately went upstairs to take down the clothes and displayed them in front of everyone. There were a total of 8 sets of clothes, mostly evening gowns, which were extremely luxurious.
Ji Hanxi looked at these clothes, Valentino, Alexis Mabille, Elie Saab... and many others that she didn't recognize, but she could guess that they were very expensive.
"But Teacher Vivienne, we need to shred and chop up these props for this shoot. Wouldn't it be inappropriate to shoot with these clothes?"
"It's okay, these clothes can be cut casually."
"Ah this..." The camera crew was a little at a loss.
"I'm not donating these clothes as props for free. I have a request."
"Please feel free to ask for anything you want."
“I have to be satisfied with the photos I take this time.”
"Of course, of course." This is not a request at all. Isn't it natural that the photo satisfies the person concerned?
"Remember what you said."
After giving brief instructions, Ji Hanxi went to do the makeup and styling, while the others went to set up the scene.
She was quite surprised when she found out that 4 out of the 8 sets of clothes were hers. What surprised her even more was that these clothes fit her body perfectly, as if they were specially tailored for her after knowing her measurements.
The first scene was next to the bathtub. When she first saw it, she couldn't help but think of the movie "Mermaid in the Sewer": decadent, dirty, beautiful, and weird...
Unlike the movie, there is no sticky, dirty stuff here, but it is made of countless jewels. There are jewels in the bathtub and jewels scattered outside the bathtub.
The director of the filming asked Ji Hanxi to get into the bathtub, sprinkled gold, silver and jewelry on her body, and half submerged her.
She didn't know if these jewelry props were real, but she felt they were heavy and had a particularly bright luster.
Vivienne also finished her makeup at this time. Her dress was a fishtail skirt with sequins on it to imitate the shape of fish scales.
Such a beautiful silver long dress was cut into pieces for filming, and many sequins were pulled off. The mottled marks really looked like plucked fish scales.
His makeup was deliberately heavy and sloppy, and his hair was messy. Not only was it messy, but he also sprinkled some purified water on it to wet it during the shoot, just to make it look crazy.
Broken, he clung to the edge of the bathtub, seemingly struggling to retrieve the jewelry from it. His long necklace was nearly torn, and greed and desire were evident in his eyes.
And on the other end of the necklace is Ji Hanxi.
"Miss Ji, your eyes should be more greedy and ambitious. Yes, hold on to the necklace tightly and don't let go. Fight with him for it."
At the photographer's request, Ji Hanxi clutched her necklace tightly. Her makeup was exquisite and perfect, and her hair was meticulously combed, forming a sharp contrast with Vivienne's.
But the jeweled crown she wore on her head was tilted slightly and dangled, a sign that the struggle had not been without influence on her, and that she was not entirely certain of victory.
Ji Hanxi stared at the necklace the entire time during the shoot and didn't dare to glance at Vivienne at all, because she always felt that he was looking at her...
With that kind of eyes and makeup, she really looks like a madman, with the damp and sticky greed of a monster, and the covetousness of a snake lurking in the dark.
"Teacher Vivienne, your eyes should be on the necklace, not on the person."
"I'm looking at the crown."
"Oh, sorry, sorry, I misunderstood."
"My ultimate goal is the crown. The necklace is just an additional item in the fight. So I'm more greedy and ambitious towards the crown. Is that normal?"
"Well, that's true."
"And I think..." He suddenly released the necklace and held her arm, pulling her towards him, then stretched out his other hand to touch her face.
Ji Hanxi widened his eyes in horror, and just when he thought the other party's slender fingers were about to touch his cheek, he changed direction and grabbed the crown that was about to fall.
"I felt reaching for the crown would better demonstrate my ambition and determination."
"Hmm... That's a really good suggestion. We've already taken enough photos of that pose, so we can try this one."
Ji Hanxi was still in shock, her breathing fluctuating violently. When he took the crown just now, his hand was too close, and she could even feel the breeze brushing against her eyelashes. She thought he was going to touch her face!
"What are you afraid of?" Vivienne looked at her and asked softly.
"nothing."
"You don't think I want to touch your face, do you?"
“…”
