Chapter 58 Chapter 58 Trust and Dependence
She was also made to look like a bad girl who bullied decent boys, even though Vivienne was not a bad girl at all...
The aphrodisiac scene in the first scene was to prepare her mentally in advance, so that she would not be at a loss when encountering such intimate scenes later.
Ji Hanxi read the script. Besides today's scene, which was considered the main event, there were several more scenes to come. All of them were Liu Ruyan's deliberate seduction. In the early part, the junior sister remained calm, but in the later part, she was reluctant to accept him.
In the following scenes, she performed according to the script and did a pretty good job.
Vivienne is perfectly suited to playing this kind of enchanting role, glamorous yet elegant, charming and alluring. Ji Hanxi, playing the junior apprentice, also perfectly captures the awkwardness of wanting to resist temptation but being unable to do so.
On the set, the director repeatedly praised her acting, making her feel a little guilty. After all, she wasn't really acting; her real state was just like that...
The short series was filmed and broadcast simultaneously, with a few dozen episodes airing first to gauge its impact. The original novel, an online novel from over a decade ago, had many plots and settings that were outdated, and some concepts were even inappropriate for today's society. The short series significantly reworked these plots, removing the dross and retaining the essence, and surprisingly, it was well-received by audiences.
The pairing of Ruyan Liu and her junior apprentice sister, in particular, feels eerie and bizarre. Online commentators are saying, "0 and P are a couple, like they're having sex. Absurd!"
However, the weirder it gets, the more it draws you in. By the end, you're inexplicably able to accept this couple. This is mainly because the two leads are both incredibly good-looking, equally matched, and just seeing them in the same frame is a delight to the eye.
Some people accept this adaptation, while others, of course, don't. Those who don't accept it are generally male readers. They wonder how the male protagonist's harem can be paired up? What good does the male protagonist have to do then? However, their protests have little effect, only adding more buzz to the short series.
After finishing the short film, Ji Hanxi could finally relax. There was a large shopping mall next to the company, so she asked Nanzhi to go shopping together.
"Baby, I feel a little uncomfortable and want to go to the bathroom. Do you want to go?" Nanzhi finished eating hot food and then cold food. After a while, she covered her stomach and said this.
"I'm not going. I'll wait for you here."
"good."
Ji Hanxi was waiting for her in the rest area outside, but not long after Nanzhi left, she heard someone calling her.
"Junior, Ji Hanxi..."
A figure blocked her view. Ji Hanxi looked up and saw it was the senior from long ago. She had accompanied him to the interview at Starlink Interactive Entertainment, but he was not chosen, and she was the one who was selected instead.
"Is there something wrong, Senior?"
"My junior sister is successful now. Not only is her short video account doing well, but the short dramas she shoots are also becoming more and more popular. Wow!" This person pretended to say nice things, but in fact he was extremely sarcastic.
"If you manage your account well, find your positioning, and update it diligently, you can also achieve something." Ji Hanxi retorted unwillingly.
"I'm not as lucky as my junior. I've had this account for over two years, but now it's completely useless. Could you please help me out? Could you help me get this account up and running? There's a saying, 'A virtuous wife helps me achieve my ambitions, and I'll repay her with ten thousand taels of gold.' You can replace the virtuous wife with my junior. She has so many fans and such a high popularity now, so please help me out."
“…” Ji Hanxi couldn’t help but frown as he looked at him, and wanted to ridicule him with sarcastic words.
But looking at his bullfrog-like body and his face twisted by emotion, he always felt like a violent person in social news. This kind of person is not suitable for direct confrontation, because if you are not careful, he will do something impulsive and terrible.
So she ignored him, got up and walked away.
Ji Hanxi felt that she had been so out of her mind before that she was obsessed with his type. Now that she had gotten rid of her aesthetic filter and looked at him, she found that he was so annoying no matter how she looked at him!
She had just taken a few steps when the man stood in front of her again.
"Senior, I have something to do. Could you please let me go?"
"What's up? We finally met, why don't we catch up?"
When Ji Hanxi moved to the left, he blocked the left side, and when he moved to the right, he blocked the right side.
"Senior, if you do this again, I will call the mall security."
"What's the point of calling security? I didn't do anything to you. The security would just take a quick look and leave. My schoolmate deleted me before, which really hurt me. Now, why don't you go out for a drink with me to make it up to me?"
Ji Hanxi frowned. She calculated the distance to the restroom at the back. If she talked to him to let his guard down, and then suddenly turned around and ran to the women's restroom, she should be able to get rid of him temporarily.
Just as she was thinking about how to deal with this man, she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure approaching from the corner of her eye. Without thinking, she ran to him.
"Hey!" The senior saw her running away and reached out to catch her, but he was a step too slow. When he looked over, he found that Ji Hanxi had hidden behind that person, and that person...
It turned out to be Vivienne, a very famous beauty blogger on the Internet.
Ji Hanxi instinctively ran to Vivienne's side without giving it much thought. Only when they were very close did she finally realize what she had done. She had actually considered him trustworthy, and she had actually done this subconsciously... Ji Hanxi was so shocked by herself that she couldn't help but take two steps back.
"What's wrong?" Vivienne noticed her retreat and asked softly.
Ji Hanxi looked up at him, not knowing how to answer.
"This ugly guy in cheap clothes is harassing you, right? Don't worry, I'll ask my assistant to take care of it."
Ji Hanxi nodded hesitantly.
As Vivienne gave the order, the two bodyguards following him nodded in agreement.
Vivienne's assistants are highly paid and skilled, multitasking from driver to bodyguard. They're not just muscular bastards; they're Muay Thai masters who've actually trained and won world-class medals.
The assistants were arm-in-arm with the senior, pretending to be close friends, and said they wanted to take him out for a chat. The senior, relying on his muscular build, ignored them. The three of them walked together to a blind spot where the surveillance cameras were located...
"Are you okay?" Vivienne asked after they left. "Are you hurt?"
Ji Hanxi shook his head.
"Let's go sit over there for a while." After reaching the rest area, he said, "Don't be afraid, I will make him never dare to harass you again."
"Yeah." Ji Hanxi responded softly. She was being unnaturally quiet right now.
Vivienne's gaze fell on her and lingered. He said, "I'm actually quite happy." There was a hint of smile in his tone, as if he was really happy about something. "I felt that you could save yourself on your own, but you ran to my side first..."
Ji Hanxi lowered her head and remained silent. Vivienne's words hit the nail on the head.
Yes, she actually took the initiative to go to him. How could she...feel trust and dependence on him? She should be completely repulsed by him, right? After all, his appearance and personality were exactly the type she hated. How could she feel this way about him? Why was it like this? Why did it become like this? What was wrong with her?
"Oh, baby, sorry to have kept you waiting!" Nanzhi came out, shaking her washed hands. When she looked up, she saw Ji Hanxi and Vivienne sitting together. She couldn't help but smile a little embarrassedly, "Why is Teacher Vivienne here?"
"Shopping." Vivienne replied lightly.
Ji Hanxi next to her was still immersed in her emotions and didn't even notice Nanzhi coming out. It was not until the other party poked her that she suddenly woke up.
At this time, Vivienne's assistant came up after finishing something, so Vivienne said, "Let's go and have something to eat. I have something to tell you."
Ji Hanxi was a little absent-minded and was half-led and half-led into the box by Nanzhi.
After arriving at the private room, they ordered a lot of dishes. Ji Hanxi looked at the dishes on the menu and found that Vivienne had ordered all her favorites, so she didn't need to order anything.
While the dishes were being served, the assistant next to him described in detail what he wanted to say.
It turned out that after the short drama was broadcast, Ji Hanxi's extremely realistic acting skills and outstanding appearance attracted attention from many parties. She is now very popular and many companies want to work with her.
Coincidentally, there is a very good script now, and Vivienne and Ji Hanxi are approached at the same time.
Although the couple in their previous short drama was considered unconventional by everyone, some niche groups liked it very much. And the smaller the niche, the more sticky it is, and the more likely people are to pay for things they like. One of the wealthy investors, impressed by Ji Hanxi's ability and liked this couple, decided to invite them to work together on another short drama.
After the assistant said this, everyone looked at Ji Hanxi.
She lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.
Vivienne thought she probably wouldn't agree, after all, she was too repulsive to him. The previous play had been obtained through bargaining and bribery, so this one would probably be difficult to work on. But it didn't matter, he never cared about the difficulty, and he would always find a way to make her agree...
Nanzhi also felt that she wouldn't agree. Although Ji Hanxi's attitude towards Vivienne wasn't exactly confrontational, it was strange, very strange, and hard to describe. She seemed to be very repulsed by this strange feeling and tried to avoid meeting and interacting with Vivienne. So she probably wouldn't agree to this collaboration.
Ji Hanxi raised his eyes, looked at Vivienne, and said, "Sure."
It was a very simple sentence, but it showed her attitude that she agreed to this cooperation.
"You..." This made Vivienne a little stunned. She had thought it would be difficult and time-consuming, but she didn't expect it to be so easy to agree. This seemed a little abnormal.
"What's wrong? Why are you all looking at me like that? Is it bad if I agree?"
"No," Vivienne replied. "I'll send you the script first. If there's anything you don't like, just point it out and the screenwriter will revise it based on your feedback."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Hanxi received a document on his mobile phone.
She opened it and discovered the setting of the now-popular Miao youth. The heroine deceived a naive Miao youth to complete a mission. When she got the gift and wanted to abandon the youth, she found herself imprisoned. It turned out that the person she had deceived wasn't just a young man, but a Miao high priest who had lived for over a thousand years...
This film is also full of various erotic and exciting plots, and the most important thing is that there is forced love and robbery.
According to Ji Hanxi's previous character, she would absolutely not agree, but this time she took a look at the restricted plot and said, "Just act according to it."
