Chapter 54 Chapter 54 Script Major Changes
Fortunately, today is Saturday and it’s not 8 am. Otherwise, if she rushes back now, she will definitely be late.
When she returned to the dormitory, Minmin was watching TV series as expected. Ji Hanxi gave her the pancakes she bought: "I brought you breakfast."
"Ahhhh baby you're so good!"
"Thank you Minmin for worrying about me when I didn't come home at night." Ji Hanxi said this thank you from the bottom of his heart.
Honestly, when she first started college, she was superficially polite to everyone. But the longer she spent with them, the more she realized they were truly good people, always well-intentioned. So, she tried to repay them in her own way.
"Oh! That's perfectly normal. You're being so formal in thanking me that I feel embarrassed. But, the voice I heard last night was indeed Vivienne's, right? What were you doing? Why were you both together all night?"
"As a girl, what can I do with Vivienne?" Ji Hanxi thought that Vivienne's fans were a special group and didn't treat him as a man at all, so he answered according to their thinking.
"There's a lot we can do..." Minmin said with a smile, "I think there's something ambiguous between you two."
“…” Ji Hanxi was startled and looked at Minmin in panic, but she was just eating the pancakes, and the sentence just now seemed to be said casually.
The school has 24-hour water supply. Ji Hanxi went to wash her hair and take a shower. After washing, she came back and watched TV series on her tablet.
An urgent notice suddenly came in the crew group, temporarily stopping filming for the next two days, without giving a reason.
Although Ji Hanxi was confused, seeing that so many people in the group hadn't figured it out, he didn't bother to follow suit and ask.
"...Mother? Hahaha!" Minmin's laughter could be heard, and she was happily chatting with some friend.
Ji Hanxi was wearing headphones and couldn't hear much of anything else. But the two words "muzhi" seemed to have a special magical power, forcing their way directly into her ears.
Because of this word, she couldn't help but think of the concept of straight mothers when she was chatting with Minmin before, and then associated straight mothers with Vivienne...
She waited for Minmin to finish chatting, then asked softly, "Minmin, can you accept your mother?"
"Huh?" Minmin was a little stunned. "Why are you asking this suddenly? I don't think there's any such thing as acceptance or rejection. If you like it, you can accept it. If you don't like it, you can just not accept it."
"Even if...even if you have some feelings for him, but he's like that...aren't you worried about what others will say about you being with him?"
"As long as you like it, why bother about what others think? It's you who are with him, not others. As long as you feel happy, that's all."
Ji Hanxi lowered his head and fell into deep thought because of Minmin's words...
"No, you have something. You would never ask me this kind of question before. You even looked disgusted when I mentioned my mother. Why are you asking about it today?"
"You mentioned your mother on the phone just now, so I asked. There's nothing wrong."
"I didn't mention mu just now. I was talking to my friend about thumb, the one with the thumb and the little finger. Why did you hear it as mu? What are you thinking about? Who are you thinking about?"
Minmin noticed a suspicious clue and began to dig deeper.
Ji Hanxi didn't want to answer, so he climbed onto the bed and pretended to be asleep.
However, Minmin's voice still came through, "I've been browsing Vivienne's Weibo recently, and I always feel like she's weird..."
Ji Hanxi closed her eyes tightly and did not move, but her eyelashes kept fluttering, indicating that she was not really asleep.
To be honest, she hadn't looked at Vivienne's WeChat Moments or Weibo in a long time. She wouldn't leave any kind comments for him, nor did she want to leave any negative ones. She deliberately wanted to stay away from him, to make his presence felt in her life fade.
But at this moment, when Minmin mentioned him casually, she couldn't help but pay attention.
"Although he still curses us every day and is sarcastic, his Weibo posts are becoming increasingly incomprehensible."
Minmin didn't talk about the content of his Weibo post, but just kept saying it was weird, which made Ji Hanxi even more curious. What was weird about it?
She didn't want to check Weibo in front of Minmin, so she could only take a quick look when she left the dormitory to get takeout.
I didn't look closely, only saw one:
"kitten"
Just two words, nothing else, no photos, no messages, not even an emoji.
But just these two words sparked a lot of speculation among fans. They wondered if he was going to get a cat-themed makeup look; they suspected he had a cat and wanted to share a photo of it but forgot to post it; and some longtime fans asked, "Doesn't he dislike cats and dogs? Why did he bring this up all of a sudden?"
He did not answer any of these questions, only two lonely words on Weibo.
The dormitory door opened again, probably because Minmin had returned. Ji Hanxi turned over and continued to pretend to be asleep, hiding his phone underneath.
She told herself not to overthink it. A kitten is just a kitten. He probably just posted it casually, it doesn't have any special meaning. Don't overthink it, it will make you seem very self-indulgent. However, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't help but think of some things in the past...
The crew group has suspended filming for a week in a row, which is obviously abnormal, and no valid reason has been given, which makes it even more abnormal.
Nanzhi was also in the crew. She had a very strong ability to find out information, so Ji Hanxi sent her a message asking her if she knew the reason.
Nanzhi replied to her message:
"We are discussing this."
Come and eat melons quickly
After saying that, he pulled her into a group, which was full of actors from that crew, and everyone was discussing it at once.
The closest thing to the truth yet is this: an actress and the crew were staying in the same hotel, and the male lead attempted to harass her at night. She became furious and called the police. The actress, also a prominent internet celebrity, exposed the incident to her fan group, which was met with outrage and swearing to seek justice. Seeking evidence, fans dug into the male lead, but the digging revealed his past illegal activities.
Anyway, the filming of this short drama has been completely stopped. At present, the crew is still trying hard to cover up the matter and buy press releases, trying to prevent it from becoming a hot topic, but it is estimated that they can't cover it up.
Just as Nanzhi and the others had discussed, within a few days, this matter had become a hot search. Because the original work was a major male IP, this matter was quite popular.
Ji Hanxi and her crew had signed a filming contract and their schedules were fully cleared. Suddenly, something went wrong on set, leaving all the actors without work. The party at fault was held fully responsible. According to the contract, they were entitled to compensation for breach of contract.
When Vivienne was asked to pay compensation, he refused the penalty and instead asked the crew to sell the copyright of the short drama to him.
When this news reached the content department, everyone thought he was crazy. What was the point of acquiring the copyright for such a show? His fans weren't the type to watch these kinds of male-oriented dramas, and he himself wasn't suited to such a show at all. Even if he forced the film, how could such a clichéd, overused plot be popular? What kind of market could it possibly attract? The end result would only be a loss. It was a deal that didn't make up for the loss, and who knew what he was doing with the copyright?
Ji Hanxi sat in the content department, listening to them chatting about this matter.
She didn't care who got the copyright of the short film. She just felt that her previous role was probably filmed in vain. It was a pity that she had filmed it despite the pain of bruises on her neck. Sigh...
Suddenly the door opened and a fragrant breeze blew in. I didn't see the person, but just by smelling the fragrance, I knew who it was.
Everyone quickly returned to their respective positions and pretended to be busy.
Vivienne glanced at everyone and then walked to Ji Hanxi.
Every time he came, the person next to her would suddenly sit somewhere else, leaving the seat closest to her vacant. So Vivienne would sit next to him very naturally.
He stretched out his hand, and the assistant bent down and handed him a thick stack of papers, which looked like a script.
The stack of papers was opened in front of Ji Hanxi, showing various storyboards and lines written in detail. This was indeed a script, and it was the script of a short play he had just acquired the copyright for.
"How do you think the overall direction should be changed?"
"Ah?" Ji Hanxi was stunned by his unreasonable question.
She looked over at him and saw that behind him was not only his assistant but also the editor from his team. The editor was holding a mobile phone and typing non-stop, as if recording something.
"Teacher Vivienne..." The director paused as he wrote, "Do we really need to pair Liu Ruyan with a female partner? Isn't this a bad idea? It's too different from the original novel..."
Upon hearing this, Vivienne frowned slightly and asked, "What's wrong with that? Isn't Liu Ruyan bisexual? Why does she have to be with a man? Why can't she be with a woman?"
