Chapter 77 World 2 [47]
The next day, Jing Ke accompanied Shao Qing to the crew for filming as usual.
But after sitting down in her old seat, she could clearly feel that there were fewer people around her.
The assistants, who used to enjoy discussing the number of strawberry marks on their necks from a distance, seem to have moved their rest area about three meters away. The once whispered discussions have become silent, with only frantic typing in the group chat.
After Jing Ke looked over curiously, the group of assistants sat up straight and subconsciously hid their phones, with the word "guilty" written all over their faces.
Jing Ke shook his head slightly, and once again realized how useful the honorific position given to him by the senior official was.
Forget it, I've already used it. The worst that can happen is that I can use the new equipment to do more work, and then change the original one-hour class to one hour and twenty minutes.
-
After Jing Ke had been busy for about half an hour, Yu Hongjun, who had quickly finished her morning scenes, came over, stood beside Jing Ke, and bowed to her.
"Boss Jing, thank you for helping Qingyi get back the belated justice." Yu Hongjun said with a very sincere tone.
After being recognized as a special consultant, Yu Hongjun figured out a lot of things. Jing Ke had done much more behind the scenes than she had imagined.
"Teacher Yu, you're so polite." Jing Ke stopped what she was doing and locked the screen. "It was mainly because Teacher Yu secured the evidence in a timely manner. I just handed it over to the relevant departments."
Yu Hongjun shook her head slightly. "We've tried using those tools to open investigations, but the police always say they don't have enough evidence. Even if they do open an investigation, the most they'll get is forty-eight hours."
"Thank you, Boss Jing, for being willing to stand up for Qingyi. Thank you, Boss Jing, for being willing to directly expose those who appear bright and beautiful on the surface but are actually rotten." Yu Hongjun said.
Yu Hongjun has also dealt with people within the system. The General Administration is willing to let Jing Ke become a specially appointed consultant with the treatment of a deputy director. She must have made a lot of contributions in places that she cannot see, so people within the system would give her such a generous reward.
Of course, there is another reason, which is a rumor that has just begun to circulate in the circle, that is, Jing Ke is actually the child of a higher-level cadre, so he has obtained such privileges.
As a smart person, Yu Hongjun knew very well how ridiculous the latter's statement was.
Jing Ke smiled, accepting Yu Hongjun's thanks. "How's Teacher Jiang doing? I remember the scenes that required Teacher Jiang to make a cameo appearance were filmed a long time ago, right?"
"Well, I've been introducing the new places in the film and television city to Qingyi recently. Compared with twenty years ago, many places in the film and television city are different." After mentioning Jiang Qingyi, the smile on Yu Hongjun's face suddenly became gentle.
"Has Mr. Jiang ever considered making a formal comeback? If necessary, Mr. Jiang could consider joining Xinsheng Entertainment." Jing Ke said, "We can discuss the specific contract details slowly. I'm very optimistic about Mr. Jiang."
Yu Hongjun is a smart person and can hear the deeper meaning behind Jing Ke's words.
Inviting Jiang Qingyi to join at this time is actually to put a layer of protection on her, telling people in the circle that Jiang Qingyi is the person protected by her, Jing Ke. It is also a disguised warning to those who know the truth, so that they can learn to shut up and not talk nonsense about what happened twenty years ago.
"Thank you. I will discuss this matter with Qingyi. If she is willing to appear on the stage again, she will definitely give priority to cooperating with Xinsheng Entertainment." Yu Hongjun promised.
"You don't have to join Xinsheng Entertainment. You can also set up a personal studio and own one percent of the shares." Jing Ke added.
Jing Ke remembered very clearly that Yu Hongjun was an idol that her girlfriend had admired for a long time. She also remembered that Yu Hongjun was the one who took the initiative to show kindness to Shao Qing during the deserted island survival and took good care of her.
"Boss Jing, I think I can only say thank you." Yu Hongjun said with a hint of helplessness, "Boss Jing, if there is anything you can do with me, I will do my best."
"Then I'd like to ask Teacher Yu to take good care of Shao Qing so that she can better develop her acting talent. She admires Teacher Yu very much and enjoys working with him."
Jing Ke was not vague and immediately told Yu Hongjun where he needed help.
Yu Hongjun was stunned for a moment, then smiled again, and her smile was much more obvious than before.
"Boss Jing doesn't need to tell me this, I also plan to do this. Shao Qing is very talented, she can go higher and further." Yu Hongjun said with a hint of melancholy in his eyes.
If only I had been as powerful as Jing Ke twenty years ago, I would definitely have been able to protect Qing Yi at that time.
Fortunately, it is not too late now. Both of them are not yet fifty years old, so it is not a bad idea to start over.
-
Coincidentally, on May 20th, the date originally scheduled for the official announcement, Shao Qing had just finished filming all his scenes and officially wrapped up the filming.
Shao Qing gets along very well with everyone on the crew, and has a harmonious relationship with both the female lead Ji Yumeng and the male lead.
So when Director Li suggested booking the entire theater for a wrap-up party in the evening, Shao Qing did not refuse, and Jing Ke even generously covered all the expenses for the evening.
Since they were all family, they had a lot of fun at the wrap party. After eating and drinking for the second half, some of the supporting actors who were drunk dared to come up and talk to Jing Ke.
"Boss Jing, I toast you with this glass, but there is a question that has been bothering me for a long time. Boss Jing, can you help me solve the doubts in my heart?" asked an actor who played the fourth female role.
When Shao Qing saw Jing Ke being approached, he immediately looked over after having a few drinks and listened to their conversation.
"What's the problem?" Jing Ke asked.
"Hehe, so Teacher Jing, do you think 'Jing Qing' is easier to match or 'Shao Ke' is more realistic?" Girl No. 4 asked with a blink of an eye, her eyes full of curiosity.
After hearing the question from Girl No. 4, Jing Ke realized that among those people who had gathered together to discuss the strawberry mark on her neck, one of them must be Girl No. 4's assistant.
It was indeed a bit abrupt and awkward to raise this question in this way, but there were indeed many people in the crew who were paying attention to this issue, which could be seen from the fact that everyone stopped greeting each other and pricked up their ears.
"Doesn't 'Shao Ke' mean less knocking? So in terms of pronunciation, I still think the former is better." Jing Ke borrowed the answer of the little fan.
"Then..." The drunk woman No. 4 seemed to want to ask something else, but her assistant rushed over in time, covered her mouth directly, and retreated while apologizing.
My little ancestor, listen to what questions you are asking. With so many people here, there are some questions that cannot be asked casually.
"Come, let me offer a toast to Mr. Jing. I hope we can continue to cooperate next time." Director Li quickly changed the subject upon seeing this and started talking and laughing again.
-
After returning from the wrap party, Jing Ke and Shao Qing were both reeking of alcohol. Luckily, no one dared to get them drunk, so they both retained some sense and didn't become drunk like Female Number Four.
"Let's take a shower together?" After opening the door of the suite, Shao Qing took the initiative to invite.
Shao Qing's filming has all ended, and his contract with Zongheng Entertainment will expire in half a month. Shao Qing, who has not taken on any new dramas or endorsements for the time being, can at least have a 20-day vacation.
"Okay." Jing Ke did not refuse, nor would she refuse.
But before Shao Qing finished stripping off all his clothes, Jing Ke thought of what Shao Qing had said.
"Today is May 20th. Do you want me to send some photos of us before we take a shower to commemorate this special day?" Jing Ke asked.
At Jing Ke's reminder, Shao Qing remembered his arrangement last month. "As for a group photo, how about we take one now?"
"Are you sure?" Jing Ke glanced at his torn collar, then looked at Shao Qing who was still neatly dressed, and instantly understood the other party's little plan.
"Okay, do you want to take a picture with your phone?" Jing Ke chose to pick up the question and swallow it back.
"Okay, I'll take a picture~" Shao Qing smiled, took out his mobile phone and turned it directly to selfie mode.
"Come, look at the camera." Shao Qing said, grabbing the phone with one hand and grabbing Jing Ke's collar with the other, making her look like she was forced to bend over.
Jing Ke's brows showed a gentle smile, and she looked obediently towards the camera, seeing a photo of her upper body with a large bathtub as the background.
The slightly dim light in the bathroom was the best lighting. After Shao Qing took a look at the finished picture, he didn't make any secondary edits. He just typed a few words and sent it out.
Shao Qing V: Take a bath and sleep~[Picture]
[This spot, this background, this photo, this copy! Ahhhhh!]
[Oh my god, is Qingqing's wife drunk? Her face looks so red!]
[Why does my top boss Jing look less aggressive now? She looks so gentle in the camera!]
[If we analyze it carefully, it seems that what Boss Jing was looking at was not the camera, but Shao Qing in the camera.]
Qingqing and Boss Jing are so thoughtful. They knew I didn't eat much for dinner today, so they specially fed me a big bowl of dog food. They care about me. We are a family!
[Hold on, have you noticed? Boss Jing, who usually forwards messages immediately, hasn't responded yet. I don't need to say anything else, right?]
[He must be busy. Didn’t he say he was going to take a shower and go to bed?~[狗头]]
After twenty minutes of passionate discussion on the all-encompassing photos of the two, netizens quickly shifted the topic to who was on top and who was on the bottom between Boss Jing and Shao Qing, as before.
When the CP fans first appeared, most of them supported Jing Ke.
But with the official announcement of the appearance of kiss marks with a difference of a whole digit on the nine-square grid, many fans began to support Shao Qing, believing that such a combination would have more sexual tension.
Press the one who seems to have a higher status down on the bed... It's so exciting just thinking about it.
The strength shown by Shao Qing and the obedience shown by Jing Ke in the latest photos made this group of fans start to scream and their number grew stronger and stronger.
-
Fans and netizens enthusiastically responded to Shao Qing's updates, as if they didn't know anyone on the Internet at all, and were in a very relaxed state.
Jing Ke and Shao Qing are still in the bathtub. From a certain perspective, they are in a similar state to netizens, very relaxed and bold.
They put aside their cell phones and other things that were in the way and began a sincere and frank communication. They carefully analyzed and examined the quality of the bathtub, such as whether the depth was appropriate, the volume, and how long it would take for people to start taking a bath if they added hot water.
Because there was no notice on the second day, the third day, or even the next twenty days, the two of them inspected the bathtub inside and out for a long time, and finally concluded that the quality of the bathtub was quite good.
After two hours of field research in the bathroom, the two people, with a little moisture on their bodies, returned to the bedroom to prepare for bed.
"Don't move, I've wanted to try this for a long time..." Shao Qing raised his eyebrows slightly, held Jing Ke's wrist and pressed it against her side, measuring all aspects of her body data.
"I want to let those people know who is..." Shao Qing's strange desire to win emerged again. The alcohol that had not yet disappeared from his body seemed to become a little more active after being soaked in hot water.
After letting Shao Qing mess around in bed, the strings that had originally restrained Jing Ke's certain behaviors seemed to have broken. She no longer deliberately concealed her shortcomings and gave Shao Qing more opportunities to take the initiative.
Jing Ke began to use her strengths to seriously study her body data, which allowed her to understand her true strength. Because she didn't need to work the next day, Shao Qing declared the battle over after she was exhausted. The final cleaning work was done by Jing Ke alone.
The aftereffects of the second half of the night were also very obvious. Both Jing Ke and Shao Qing slept until almost noon the next day.
If the two of them hadn't been exercising, they would probably have sore hands or backs when they got up, and their legs might even go weak as soon as they got out of bed.
-
After successfully returning to the small villa in Hai City, Jing Ke and Shao Qing stayed at home for several days, and most of the things they needed were delivered.
If Sister Ke hadn't said she would come over, they would probably continue to indulge in the comfort and gentleness of life.
"Huh? The previous deserted island survival program crew wants to invite Jing Ke and me to be the guests of the first episode?" After hearing the news brought by Sister Ke, Shao Qing showed a puzzled look.
"Sister Ke, do you think it's necessary for us to participate in such a program? The director's attitude towards me at the time was quite average. If it weren't for the help of Jing Ke and Teacher Yu, I would have become a tool for them to create hype." Shao Qing frowned and felt a little repulsed.
"This first episode is quite special. It is a collaboration with a dating observation variety show, and the director has been replaced. It's just borrowing the gimmick of wilderness survival." Sister Ke explained.
"Although it's also about surviving on a deserted island, guests don't need to complete difficult tasks in exchange for resources. They just need to complete some couple tacit understanding challenges with their bound teammates."
After Sister Ke took out the contract sent by the other party, Jing Ke and Shao Qing also figured out what the program she was talking about was.
The latest season of Desert Island Survival has been fully filmed and broadcast. Due to personal reasons of the former director, the original program team was split into two, with different shooting ideas and creativity.
The former director continued to film the guests suffering, using so-called authenticity for marketing.
The new director felt that constantly making things difficult for the guests would only narrow the program team's path, which would not be conducive to subsequent development. Therefore, he cooperated with the dating observation variety show, which already had good traffic, to add more elements to the variety show and make the audience wider.
Jing Ke and Shao Qing had actually heard of this dating observation variety show. Shao Qing had met Qin Zheng, the stepmother of the Duke of Shao, while filming "Who is the Murderer?", a show directed by her friend.
Jing Ke had originally planned to invest, but the other party did not encounter any difficulties with funding, so the plan ended up falling through.
"But Sister Ke, our fans and netizens are all very clear about the relationship between Jing Ke and me. There's no need for me to participate in this variety show to gain popularity, right?" Shao Qing leaned on Jing Ke.
He said lazily, "I finally finished filming and want to lie down for a while. I don't want to go to work anymore."
"But the remuneration they offered is really high. The recording will start in the afternoon of the first day and will end on the morning of the third day. The appearance fee for you and Boss Jing is five million each." Sister Ke said.
"Oh, the appearance fee is..." Shao Qing suddenly stood up and looked at Sister Ke with wide eyes, "Sister Ke, what did you say just now? I don't think I heard it clearly?"
"Everyone's appearance fee is five million, and that's after tax," Sister Ke added, "If their price wasn't so high, I wouldn't bother you at this time."
Sister Ke: "Also, I've already discussed with the production team that the contract can be signed on June 10th. By then, you'll have terminated your contract with Zongheng Entertainment, and the 5 million yuan salary will belong to you alone."
You can earn five million in three days, with an average daily salary of more than one million. This sounds a bit too tempting.
You know, one hundred thousand yuan is enough to support a poor student to finish college. If I get a reward of five million, wouldn’t I be able to provide another way out for an entire class of students?
Shao Qing was extremely excited, but she also knew very well who the program crew was offering such compensation to, so she turned her head to look at Jing Ke.
"Jing Ke, what do you think?" Shao Qing asked
"The return rate is quite high. In principle, the exposure time is only two days." Jing Ke said, his eyes fell on the name of an island that looked familiar. "I don't mind taking a few days to complete the filming."
At that time, she will also show off her cooking skills in public to let her fans know that her cooking skills are not much worse than Yu Hongjun's.
"Sister Ke, how many people are participating in total?" Shao Qing asked.
"Liu Chang is a familiar face; he's already confirmed. The others are Qin Zheng, Yao Lan, and one male guest who hasn't been confirmed yet," Sister Ke said. "It's not that many. Including you, there are six of us. You're considered a fixed couple, and the other four will probably just be a mixed bag."
Shao Qing hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't resist the temptation of five million and nodded in agreement.
-
Happy times are always short. After taking the time to deal with the contract with Zongheng Entertainment, the agreed date of June 10th is almost here.
After confirming that Jing Ke and Shao Qing would participate, the program crew started warming up three days in advance. After editing the relevant dynamics and sending them out, they planned to pay to make the topic a hot topic.
However, the program crew obviously underestimated the popularity of Jing Ke and Shao Qing. Before they even invested the money, the related topics had already climbed up like a rocket, and they climbed to the end relying on their own strength.
[What? Qingqing's wife is going to be on a variety show with Boss Jing? And it's a live broadcast?]
[Wow, Boss Jing is so cute, but if I'm a staff member, shouldn't I be allowed to appear on this kind of entertainment variety show?]
Specially appointed consultants are quite special. They can be considered regular staff or non-staff staff, allowing for flexibility.
[I'm a local dog. I want to see Boss Jing and Shao Qingxiu being affectionate and then feed us a lot of dog food.]
[Hey, I love watching it too. I don't have any other hobbies. I just like eating good food, the sweeter the better.]
The results of three days of promotion were also very significant. After Jing Ke and Shao Qing appeared in the live broadcast room, the number of online viewers quickly exceeded five million and rushed towards ten million.
The shooting location this time is still an island, but it is not a domestic island, but an island abroad.
The reason given by the program team is also very reasonable. That is to avoid domestic netizens recognizing the specific address and blocking people offline, so they chose an island abroad that is suitable for vacation.
Did you see the sign I just photographed? This island looks like it's privately owned. Even if the show only rented it for three days, it would have cost at least a million!
[One million for three days? That's too expensive!]
[Note: The one million here doesn't refer to our country's money, but to the local currency. If converted, the price is more than six hundred yuan higher.]
This price is actually quite normal, considering this is a heavily developed island. Did you notice the dock just now? There were two yachts docked there. I guess the production team rented them too.
"Oh my god, there's an island villa! Is this still considered deserted island survival? I might as well just call it an island getaway."
Not only the audience in the live broadcast room had this question, but several guests who successfully arrived on the island and saw the buildings in the center of the island also began to wonder.
"Director, are you sure this is a kind of outdoor life where we can develop our relationship, rather than a vacation to enjoy life?" Liu Chang, who had carried all the important equipment on his back, couldn't help but ask.
"Ahem, let me clarify, the building in the middle of the island is privately owned by the island owner. We don't have the right to use it. The most we can do is stand outside and take pictures." The director said while holding a loudspeaker.
"Did the teachers notice the little cabin in the distance? That's where they lived during the filming."
