Chapter 73 World 2 [43]
However, the benefits of having such a powerful girlfriend are also obvious. When they went to shoot the next day, the two received an extremely warm reception from Orange.
The assistants who came along also had their own exclusive seats. Not only did they have a share in everything, but at the end of the first day of filming, someone even offered to treat them to a meal.
Shao Qing politely declined those people with a smile. After finishing filming today's scenes, he returned to the hotel with Jing Ke as soon as possible.
According to Director Hu's arrangement, Shao Qing needs to shoot for a total of five days, with three to four hours of shooting time in the morning and afternoon, which is quite intense.
But Shao Qing is a hard-working person. She can shoot wire-flying scenes for five days in one go, not to mention five days of simple drama.
In the first two days, Jing Ke watched from the sidelines as usual, occasionally taking out his computer to type a little, either looking for relevant information on the world stage, or helping some domestic websites build a more secure protection network.
On the third day, the person who had been in contact with Jing Ke took the initiative to invite her and wanted to have a face-to-face meeting with Jing Ke in the afternoon.
Jing Ke originally didn't plan to have too close contact with those officials, but after thinking about how he could solve a big problem with just one phone call two days ago, he agreed.
"The meeting time is two o'clock. A car will come to pick me up. I will be back at five o'clock at the latest. Will you wait for me at the crew?" Jing Ke explained her schedule.
"Okay, if you're going to be back late, send me a message." Shao Qing paused. "Can you go alone? Do you want me to send my assistant with you?"
"It's okay. I guess it's just some information I recently acquired. It's nothing serious." Jing Ke said, reaching out to hug Shao Qing. "Don't worry. I'm not one of those people in novels who relies on their skills to mess around and then gets sanctioned by the authorities."
"Hehe, why were you peeking at my phone?" Shao Qinglue felt a little embarrassed when his little secret was exposed, and he couldn't help but bury his head in Jing Ke's neck.
"I didn't peek. You forgot to lock the screen several times, and I saw it by accident." Jing Ke smiled.
After comforting his girlfriend who had become a little sensitive due to her wild thoughts, Jing Ke left the old alley on time and got into a low-key and luxurious-looking car.
After Jing Ke left, the atmosphere on the set changed. Some people who hadn't dared to speak out before couldn't help but start talking in low voices.
"What is Jing Ke's background? I've been asking around these past few days, but none of them have heard of this name."
"I found out a little bit. It seems she went abroad when she was little, and she hasn't been back for less than a year. They speculate that she's the illegitimate daughter of some high-ranking figure, and because they can't bring her back openly, they dote on her and give her a lot of money."
"Ah? Is this true? Jing Ke looks like a mixed-race. A big shot wouldn't be with a foreigner, right? That would be a big mistake."
"You are so ignorant! It's because they are foreigners that they can't return to their roots!"
"That makes perfect sense. Then which big shot's illegitimate daughter is she? Is that big shot just going to watch his daughter follow a little star around like that? This kind of service is even better than an assistant, right?"
"I don't know about that. Anyway, since she's a child who can't be recognized as a native, we should be more indulgent with her. As long as she doesn't cause any trouble, it's fine."
-
Jing Ke, who was in a secret conversation with a high-ranking official, had no idea that she had acquired another identity out of thin air. The illegitimate daughter of a ministerial-level leader, or something like that, didn't this identity sound a bit too absurd?
"It's like this. We hope to cooperate more closely with each other and invite you to take up a position in a special department." The senior cadre's attitude was gentle and his tone was very approachable. He didn't sound arrogant at all.
"You don't need to clock in or out or anything like that. You just need to set aside some time each week to teach a class for the talents we've selected. The content and specific time of the class are all determined by you, as long as you notify us one day in advance."
Senior official: "In addition, we can also give you a formal position, a specially appointed consultant to the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television. The rank is the same as that of a deputy director. If you encounter any problems, you can contact the director directly."
Jing Ke was not very interested in what the senior cadres had proposed before, but when he heard the last benefit, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"A consultant at the same level as the deputy director?" Jing Ke couldn't help but repeat, "Will such a position affect my ability to go abroad?"
"In principle, not really. The outside world might think you have an unspeakable relationship with a certain minister," the senior official said. "Besides, our country has always been open to the outside world. We import many excellent film and television works every year and also export many."
"With the status of consultant, I may be able to help you, Jing Ke, and your... girlfriend obtain better international resources." The senior official said with a smile.
Judging from the fact that she was able to accurately state Shao Qing's identity, the senior cadres had done their homework seriously.
"One class a week makes me feel a little less free. Let's change it to four classes a month. I also want to give myself a long vacation occasionally." Jing Ke did not have much dedication. She was purely moved by the benefits promised by the other party.
With support from above, I can do more, and Shao Qing can be relatively well protected by me.
"Of course, I understand your needs very well." The senior cadre kept smiling.
It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. The information that Jing Ke can obtain is still too little. If more little Jing Kes can be trained through Jing Ke, in a few years, the country will be in a leading position in all aspects.
After two hours of friendly discussion, Jing Ke glanced at the time on his phone and took the initiative to end the conversation.
"I understand your attitude. You can keep an eye on the progress of 'River and Lake Road'. I'll have more time before my girlfriend finishes filming. If there's any urgent information you need, just let me know. I can probably get it in two days."
Jing Ke: "By the way, please prepare three sets of the best equipment for me and send them directly to the film and television city so I can use them when the time comes."
Since the senior officials are so sincere, Jing Ke must of course express his views appropriately to make the cooperative relationship between the two sides more solid.
"Of course, I'll have someone arrange it right away. When you return to the film and television city, the relevant equipment will be delivered with you." The senior official said, shook hands with Jing Ke very friendly, and personally escorted her out of the room.
After seeing Jing Ke get in the car and leave, the smile on the senior cadre's face slowly faded, and he looked thoughtfully in the direction the other party left.
Jing Ke doesn't seem to care about his gains and losses at all.
But Jing Ke seems to take his girlfriend's gains and losses very seriously.
Is there really such a thing as being in love? Do you think the person you love is more important than anything else in your life?
The senior cadre couldn't help but touch his chin, and after trying to put himself in the situation, he couldn't help but frown.
I can't imagine what kind of feeling that is. The only thing that can make you give everything is the country you love.
-
After returning to the crew at five o'clock, Jing Ke saw Shao Qing in the crowd.
Shao Qing was wearing casual clothes and had removed all her makeup, revealing her bright and bold facial features. It seemed that some time had passed since she completed the filming task.
Perhaps it was because Jing Ke cared about and valued Shao Qing, so those who couldn't get Jing Ke's contact information took advantage of this opportunity to get close to Shao Qing, and even asked about their relationship with a smile.
"We've all seen the news online. A lot of people are fan-fiction and film clips of you and Boss Jing together."
"Yeah, yeah, especially the behind-the-scenes footage that was released. It became a trending topic not long after it was released. Some netizens even suggested replacing the male lead with Boss Jing."
Changing one's stance according to the situation is the most common thing in the circle. They were privately discussing Jing Ke's background, and even discussing which big boss's illegitimate daughter she was.
They can also do a good job on the surface, and complaining behind others' backs will not prevent them from trying to get closer to others in public.
Since the other party is willing to follow Shao Qing and use his connections to help her, will it be the case that after a period of time, he will follow behind me and then praise me?
Those who can appear in the tribute film are not unknown people, but their ambitions are constantly urging them to go further. Being famous is not enough, they also want to climb up to Jing Ke and enter a higher circle.
Facing everyone's questions, Shao Qing just smiled, avoided some overly direct questions, and answered some relatively unimportant parts.
"Shao Qing, I'm back." Jing Ke walked over with a frown, pushed through the crowd with a slightly firm attitude, and came to her side.
"Boss Jing, come back. We are discussing with Teacher Shao about having dinner together. Would you like to join us, Boss Jing?" Even though he has been rejected many times, every time it is time for dinner, there are still people who don't give up and extend an invitation.
"Are you done with today's scenes?" But Jing Ke ignored him as usual and just extended her hand to Shao Qing.
"Well, the progress is a little faster than expected. If everything goes well tomorrow, we will probably be done filming." Shao Qing said, holding Jing Ke's hand and using the force to stand up from the chair.
"We'll go back first. See you tomorrow." Shao Qing greeted politely and pulled Jing Ke away from the crowd.
-
After putting on a hat and a mask and walking out of the old alley, Shao Qing couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
"Girlfriend, you seem to be becoming more and more popular. Those people are trying to find ways to ask me for your contact information." Shao Qing said, shaking Jing Ke's hand vigorously.
"I won't have any contact with them. I will go and warn them tomorrow and make them give up." Jing Ke made his statement immediately.
"That's not necessary. I believe you." Shao Qing paused and looked up at Jing Ke. "Director Li released the footage of you playing the male lead and fighting with me. Many people on the Internet said that we were a good match."
Jing Ke slowed down his pace. "That means they have good vision and can see the truth at a glance."
Shao Qing laughed after hearing this and looked forward again. "What do you think about the increasing number of CP fans?"
"Very good?" Jing Ke raised an eyebrow, not being able to understand Shao Qing's meaning at first.
"A lot of people are asking about the relationship between us. Do you think we should give a unified response?" Shao Qing continued to remind.
With previous experience, Shao Qing had a certain understanding of Jing Ke's silly nature, so he was prepared in advance.
Jing Ke tilted her head, suddenly understanding, "How about I open the almanac and look at it, and choose a relatively good time to announce it?"
"Do we have to check the lunar calendar for the public release time?" Shao Qing raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly because of Jing Ke's answer.
The first reaction was to choose a good time to make it public, rather than asking yourself why you should make it public. Jing Ke’s performance was pretty good.
"Shouldn't official announcements be more cautious? I see they're either going to announce it on my birthday, or at 1:14 PM, or on May 20th."
Jing Ke's eyes lit up as she spoke, "Shao Qing, how about we choose May 20th at 13:14? Maybe that's when you'll wrap up filming."
After hearing what Jing Ke said, Shao Qing was also tempted. This idea sounded good.
"Then let's keep netizens in suspense for another month?" Shao Qing said. It was only mid-April now, and there was still a month until May 20th.
"Sure, if the filming hasn't been completed by then, we can ask the photographer to take a group photo for us." Jing Ke thought of a certain makeup look that Shao Qing wore in "Jianghu Road" and couldn't help but think of playing the role of the groom.
Shao Qing knew Jing Ke quite well. When he heard her mention the photographer, he quickly guessed what she was thinking.
"You mean, should we shoot some more material for Director Li? Or maybe a bride-kidnapping scene?" Shao Qing asked with a smile, unable to help but think of the scene where he was wearing a wedding dress to shoot an indoor scene.
At that time, Jing Ke did not sit in the rest area, which was unusual for her. Instead, she stood aside with her arms crossed, staring closely at the rivalry between herself and the male lead.
The poor male lead couldn't bear the gaze from his leader and had to NG five times in a row. Finally, Director Li couldn't stand it anymore and sent Jing Ke back, and the male lead was able to finish filming that scene with him smoothly.
"Why should he snatch you away? You are my girlfriend and my lover." Jing Ke corrected him, "Even if he wants to snatch you away, he should be the one to snatch you away from me."
"But I won't give the other party this opportunity." Jing Ke quickly added.
"Yes, you are right." Shao Qing's eyebrows curved, and the slight uneasiness that had arisen before quickly dissipated during the conversation.
No matter if more and more people like Jing Ke, the person Jing Ke likes is still herself, and she will only firmly choose herself.
-
The fourth day's filming also went very smoothly, and Shao Qing finished filming the scenes for the third female lead before dark.
Director Hu originally wanted to gather together to hold a wrap-up party for Shao Qing, but after seeing that many people on the set were eyeing Jing Ke, he changed the wrap-up party into a simple big red envelope.
"I won't delay you from going back to shoot 'Jianghu Road'. After I finish the post-production, I will send you the sample film as soon as possible." Director Hu said, and stuffed a bulging red envelope into Shao Qing's hand.
"Okay, thank you Director Hu. If any subsequent reshoots are needed, just call me directly. I can still spare a day or two." Shao Qing responded with a smile and pinched the weight of the red envelope.
It’s so thick, there must be about 20,000 yuan in it, right?
After waving goodbye to Director Hu smoothly, Jing Ke and Shao Qing took their assistant to taste the special food of Beijing. Two of the three of them went back while touching their stomachs.
Adhering to the idea that since he was already here, Shao Qing booked his return flight for the afternoon of the next day, intending to take a tour of Beijing's characteristic scenic spots, take some satisfying tourist photos before leaving.
Jing Ke did not object to Shao Qing's arrangement, but after taking a shower and lying on the bed, he restrained himself and pressed her under him.
"Is it okay? Tomorrow is the time to rest." Jing Ke said as she rubbed Shao Qing's neck with her nose.
Jing Ke actually likes to bite people and leave some marks on the snow-white skin. But Shao Qing needs to shoot, and if there are marks on the neck, she will have to apply powder on the neck during the shoot, which will affect the final effect to a certain extent.
"Okay, but I have to go first." Shao Qing said, and he pupated into a pupa, slid out smoothly, and pressed Jing Ke under him.
"Okay." Jing Ke, who was forced to lie on the bed, was very obedient.
As I said, it doesn’t matter who is on top or bottom, what matters is the process of finding happiness.
Of course, there was also a small reason that Jing Ke didn't want to appear too skilled, lest his overly advanced skills would make his girlfriend jealous and end up leaving a whole circle of strawberry marks on his neck.
-
If nothing unexpected happens, Jing Ke and Shao Qing, who got up at noon, will go to the scenic spot to check in this afternoon and tomorrow morning, and finally fly back to the film and television city to continue filming.
But as expected, an accident still happened.
Beijing is already packed with people, and popular tourist spots are even more crowded. Even if it's not a holiday, there are still huge crowds of people.
Jing Ke and Shao Qing had made a travel plan in advance and knew that popular attractions would be crowded, so they didn't plan to stay for too long. They just wanted to take some ordinary tourist photos and check in.
It's normal to take photos with a hat, but if you add a mask, it will seem to ruin the atmosphere.
So during the few minutes of filming, Jing Ke and Shao Qing took off their masks, took out their selfie sticks and started choosing the right angle to take half-body photos.
"Qingqing's wife?" At the moment the shutter was pressed, the tourist with a backpack stopped in front of the two of them, looked at them with wide eyes, his face full of disbelief.
"Hmm?" The overly familiar name made Shao Qing look over subconsciously, and his eyes met with the fan who was suppressing his surprise.
After discovering that the little fan was so excited that his face was blushing, Shao Qing immediately put his mask back on and placed his index finger on the mask, hinting to the other party to keep it a secret.
The little fan was also quite interesting. He immediately covered his mouth with his hands and nodded continuously.
"Qing... Qingqing, it's really yours. Can you sign an autograph for me?" After confirming that he had met his idol, the little fan belatedly deleted the last two words.
You can just call someone Qingqing your wife online, but it would be a bit socially unacceptable if you do it in real life.
"Sure, but I don't have any paper or pen." Shao Qing smiled and was very friendly to his fans.
"I brought it, I brought it, I'll find it for you!" The little fan immediately put down the backpack, unzipped it and started looking for it.
Shao Qing waited patiently, not minding that the other party took out a wrinkled piece of cartoon paper, and signed his name on it very smoothly.
"What's your name?" Shao Qing asked, holding a pen.
"Xiaobai, just call me Xiaobai." The fan Xiaobai was embarrassed to say his real name.
Shao Qing made an OK gesture and quickly left a special note for Xiaobai.
After carefully putting the signature into the small bag inside, the fan Xiaobai noticed Jing Ke who had been standing aside.
Before Xiaobai could confirm the other person's identity with Shao Qing, she saw a circle of strawberry marks on the other person's neck.
As a fan of both the looks and the couple, Xiaobai widened his eyes again, made an extremely obvious swallowing motion, and then asked stutteringly.
"Qing, Qingqing, is that, is that Boss Jing?" The excitement in Xiaobai's eyes was about to overflow.
"Yes, I am Jing Ke." Jing Ke admitted frankly without putting on the mask.
Xiaobai couldn't help but take another look at the marks on Jing Ke's neck. Her CP brain gave her the courage to ask, "Qingqing, what is your relationship with Boss Jing?"
"Well, what do you think our relationship is?" Shao Qing was amused by the little fan's reaction. It was obviously them who were discovered to have a relationship, but it seemed that the one with the reddest face was always this little fan.
"Are you, are you lovers? Are you together?" After thinking about the couple, Xiaobai's courage was endless.
"Yes, but it's not time for us to make it public yet. Could you please keep it a secret for us?" Shao Qing said with a smile.
Xiaobai nodded like a chick pecking at rice, and the ponytail tied at the back of her head moved up and down.
"Qingqing, Boss Jing, actually I am also a fan of your CP. I am an old fan of 'Jingqing', and my super topic is over ten levels." Xiaobai said while suppressing his excitement, the light in his eyes was particularly bright.
"Why is it 'Jing Qing' instead of 'Shao Ke'?" Shao Qing asked with raised eyebrows.
Xiaobai spoke faster than his brain, "Of course it's because Qingqing, you look more like you're at the bottom."
After realizing what he had said, Xiaobai's face turned even redder, and he began to try to save the situation. "Well, I mean, Shao Ke's words were just about knocking less, while Jing Qing's was about enjoying himself. It sounds more auspicious when you hear it!"
"That's right, that's it!" Xiaobai emphasized.
