Zhang Ai made the decision almost instantly. "I didn't think it through. Lily, please only style you. I will arrange for the others to go to Ji's place."
That's better, Chen Jiyuan thought. He snorted, hung up the phone, and handed the phone back to Lily. "Okay, you don't have to go over."
Lily took it and didn't dare to say anything, so she could only nod.
When Lulu saw Sun Lin knocking on the door and coming in, she was a little surprised, "What are you doing here?"
Sun Lin walked up to her and whispered, "Since Brother Chen won't let me go, the team leader asked me to come over and style Brother Ji."
Lulu thought about it and realized that it was true. How could Chen Jiyuan allow others to share a stylist with him? She laughed sarcastically in her heart and said nothing.
Sun Lin politely greeted Ji Qingzhou. Since Lulu was still putting on makeup, she didn't do anything else. She just looked at Ji Qingzhou's hair and thought about how to style him more appropriately.
After a while, a new shooting notice came out. Ji Qingzhou's makeup time and shooting time were adjusted. The makeup time became 8:30 and the hand-in time was 10:00. The shooting time was concentrated in the morning and afternoon, and the night scenes in the evening were also concentrated. In the morning of the second day after the night scenes, half a day was reserved for him to rest, and there was no rehearsal.
Chen Jiyuan looked at the shooting notice in his hand and clenched it tightly. What was going on? Changing the stylist and adjusting the notice time, what did Ji Qingzhou do? Obviously last night, the assistant director still disliked him and scolded him in public. How could everything change in just one night! Chen Jiyuan felt furious, but heard his phone ring. He looked down and saw Liu Xu sent him a WeChat message.
Liu Xu played his friend in the play and they would chat with each other from time to time. When the two were together, Liu Xu was responsible for praising Chen Jiyuan, and therefore, Chen Jiyuan was willing to pay attention to him.
He clicked on WeChat and saw Liu Xu saying: Brother, this is amazing! This morning, the makeup team leader specially changed the makeup artist to do his makeup. It was Lulu who did your makeup before. Later, the assistant director also came and asked Ji Qingzhou to use a dressing room alone. In our crew, isn’t it only you, brother, who has a separate dressing room? How can he also have one? And in the shooting notice, his time has changed completely. This is too amazing!
Chen Jiyuan watched and clenched his phone tightly. The anger in his eyes became more and more obvious. He was in a bad mood. Looking at the eyebrows that the makeup artist had just drawn for him in the mirror, he suddenly got angry and said, "How did you draw them? Why are your eyebrows so thick? Are you clumsy? How can you be a makeup artist if you can't even draw eyebrows? If you can't draw them, get out."
The makeup artist was so scared that her hands were shaking and she almost dropped her eyebrow pencil. She looked at Chen Jiyuan and apologized nervously, but Chen Jiyuan did not accept it and cursed, "You really think you are a nobody."
The makeup artist lowered her head. Chen Jiyuan held the shooting notice in his hand and slowly came up with an idea amidst his uncontrollable anger.
Ji Qingzhou didn't have time to contact Chu Cheng until he finished filming in the morning and had lunch.
"Did the shoot go smoothly today?" Chu Cheng asked him while eating.
"It went smoothly. It went really smoothly. It has never been so smooth." Ji Qingzhou sat on the sofa and asked him, "Is there something you didn't tell me?"
Chu Cheng guessed that he knew it when he heard his tone, "Don't you know everything?"
Although Ji Qingzhou knew that everything that happened this morning was due to him, he couldn't help but feel moved when he heard Chu Cheng's almost tacit agreement.
For Ji Qingzhou, it's not that he can't tolerate these things from the crew. His filming time is not long, only one month, and he has been filming for a week now. As long as he doesn't care, he can still calmly finish the rest of the scenes. But not caring is one thing, and having someone help you out is another.
Ji Qingzhou would not be so hypocritical as to think that Chu Cheng's sudden intervention without any foreshadowing and without warning, and directly changing his situation in the crew through a dialogue with the crew's senior management, was something that should not have happened. He frankly accepted Chu Cheng's kindness, and even felt a little happy about it unconsciously.
"How did you know there was a problem? When did you call Producer Jiang? You actually know Producer Jiang. By the way, what's the relationship between you and Producer Jiang? I'm your brother."
"You have a lot of questions."
"I'm curious." Ji Qingzhou said honestly.
Chu Cheng laughed, "I'm not from your circle, so how can I tell what the specific problem is? I just think that the time arrangement is cumbersome. Something that can be solved in one go must be divided into several times, and all in the middle of the night. It's too tiring. So I asked Yu Anyi to take a look. I don't understand, but she does. She saw at a glance that Chen Jiyuan was targeting you."
Chu Cheng came to this point and thought, "Why didn't you tell me about his existence before? Why didn't I get a high-definition picture of you when you were photoshopped into a sissy look in the official announcement poster? It turns out you were not good enough to show it to me."
Ji Qingzhou lowered his head in embarrassment, "That matter has been resolved later. Brother Zhou helped me get on the hot search once, and everyone can see what I look like. It's not a big deal, so I didn't tell you."
"You only report good news and not bad news. If I hadn't come to visit you on set, I would have thought you were having a good time on the set just by chatting with you. But now that I've come, I see that you're having a lot of problems."
Ji Qingzhou does have such a personality. Since he grew up, he has been excellent in both character and study and his family is also well-off, so he rarely encounters any major problems. After he has dealt with some things by himself, he is not willing to worry his mother about these things.
The same goes for Chu Cheng.
He felt that these were not a big deal, and since they had already been resolved, there was no need to tell Chu Cheng like a child complaining. After all, he himself was not without the ability to solve the problem.
"You've been working hard too," Ji Qingzhou said, "I can handle these things myself. I don't want to trouble you for these things."
"It's good that you can solve it. I've been here before, but I wasn't there, so you can do it yourself. That's fine. But after the problem is solved, you need to tell me, so that I know that such a thing exists, so that I won't be confused when others mention the problem you encountered, right?"
Ji Qingzhou felt that his words made sense. "Okay, I'll go with you next time." He finished, and sighed, "It's just that I feel like I'm an adult now, and I still have to go with you, just like complaining to the teacher in school."
"You have a problem with your mentality," Chu Cheng taught him, "Why don't you just mention it casually when you call or send WeChat to me? Don't you have a classmate group? There must be people in the group complaining, 'What a crappy boss, making us work overtime', you can also complain like this, 'What a crappy crew, so many things to do', do you understand?"
"I understand."
"I'm glad you understand." Chu Cheng said with satisfaction.
"So when did you call Producer Jiang?" Ji Qingzhou brought the topic back to the topic, "You weren't asleep when I said goodnight to you last night, were you?"
"You guessed right then." Chu Cheng made no secret of it. "I, your father, stayed up until almost three o'clock because of you. First I called your dean, but the call didn't go through. Then I asked for your head teacher's phone number, which also kept him awake. Are you touched?"
"I'm touched." Ji Qingzhou said truthfully.
"Then how should you behave?" Chu Cheng asked him.
Ji Qingzhou thought for a moment and said, "Next time we meet, shall I kiss you?"
"Just a kiss?"
"Then, two kisses?" Ji Qingzhou didn't quite understand his father's thoughts, "How many kisses do you want?"
Chu Cheng was helpless, "Baby, don't you think we are moving a little too slowly?"
"I don't think so." Ji Qingzhou felt that it was quite fast. It had only been more than half a month, and they had even developed to the point of kissing. Was it slow?
"What did I do to you last time?" Chu Cheng leaned back in his chair and said leisurely.
"What's the matter?" Ji Qingzhou asked him.
"Would you like to try kissing me?"
Ji Qingzhou: ...
Chu Cheng asked him, "Do you want it?"
Ji Qingzhou had nothing to say.
Chu Cheng said with a "tsk tsk" sound, "Is this how you perform? There is no sincerity at all."
"I... I'm not disagreeing." Ji Qingzhou said, feeling his face getting a little hot.
"Does that mean you agree?"
Ji Qingzhou endured the rising temperature on his face and nodded silently, but just as he finished nodding, he remembered that he couldn't see it, so he said "hmm" softly.
Chu Cheng was very pleased, "It's worth it for Dad to work so hard for you late at night."
"Thank you for your hard work, Dad." Ji Qingzhou was very cooperative.
"It's not hard," Chu Cheng said habitually, "After all, no matter how hard it is, I can't let my children suffer. If I don't suffer, then you will have to suffer."
Ji Qingzhou: “…”
"By the way, what did you just ask me? How did Jiang Nan and I know each other?"
"Yeah." Seeing that he had brought the topic back, Ji Qingzhou continued to ask, "Why are you still talking to Producer Jiang? I'm your brother."
"Jiang Nan and I don't know each other. I know your producer, but I couldn't contact him last night, so I contacted Jiang Nan. IP adaptation has been popular in the past two years. Jiang Nan came to me to discuss copyright issues. I asked my senior to be responsible, so I asked him for her contact information last night. Culture and entertainment are inseparable. She may cooperate with us in the future, so naturally she has to give me face. As for you being my younger brother, I have to have a legitimate reason to help you in the middle of the night. What's wrong with not being a younger brother?"
"Wouldn't it be nice if we were just friends?"
"Do you believe it? Whose friend would stay up late at night just to adjust the time for the other person? Can't they wait until the next morning?"
"So you are the younger brother?"
"It's normal for an elder brother to care about his younger brother. It's natural for brothers to be friendly and respectful to each other."
Ji Qingzhou sighed, "I'm just afraid that because of what you said casually, they will really treat me as your relative."
"That's great, let's see who dares to bully you."
"What if someone else in your family hears it?" Ji Qingzhou didn't forget that Chu Cheng had an older brother, who was the current head of Xiyu Entertainment. When Ji Qingzhou was reading the book, he remembered that the author mentioned once or twice that Chu Cheng's brother Chu Xin was serious and deep, like a working machine. He didn't know what his expression would be if he heard that Chu Cheng had found a younger brother behind his back.
It would probably look ugly on my face.
"It's okay," Chu Cheng said without any worries, "Then my brother won't look for you. He will look for me directly."
"Are you still afraid of my brother?" Chu Cheng said with a smile.
How could Ji Qingzhou not be afraid? Your brother is my boss? Moreover, when he read the book, he always felt that according to the author's description of Chu Xin, this person must be extraordinary. Ji Qingzhou thought of his previous encounter with Chu Cheng in Xiyu. When they were in the elevator, Chu Cheng and Zhou Chengfeng said, "Don't tell my brother." He could foresee that if Chu Xin knew, there would probably be some trouble.
"Aren't you afraid?" Ji Qingzhou asked him.
"I have nothing to be afraid of," Chu Cheng said calmly, "My brother treats me very well, don't worry."
"All right."
"Okay, I have something to take care of. You go and rest first. I'll come find you after I'm done with this afternoon."
"good."
Chu Cheng smiled and teased him, "Do you want to kiss me through the phone?"
Ji Qingzhou: “…”
Ji Qingzhou hung up the phone silently.
Chu Cheng looked at the call that was hung up silently and laughed. He was about to call Ji Qingzhou and ask him how dare he hang up his father's phone without saying anything. It was so unfilial! But before he could dial, he heard WeChat ring.
Chu Cheng took a look and found that it was indeed Ji Qingzhou.
He clicked on it and saw that Ji Qingzhou had sent him an emoticon. A Q-version person was puffing out his cheeks and blowing out a love heart from his mouth. Next to it were three big words: Muah~
Chu Cheng didn't expect him to be like this, and couldn't help laughing again. He had never teased Ji Qingzhou before. At that time, Ji Qingzhou looked aggrieved in front of him, and he was not in the mood. He just wanted to sleep with him first. Recently, Ji Qingzhou suddenly became less reserved in front of him, and Chu Cheng found that he was really innocent. The more innocent he was, the more Chu Cheng wanted to tease him. After a while, he became addicted to teasing him and wanted to tease him from time to time.
What a bad taste, Chu Cheng silently complained to himself, but he couldn't blame him, after all, every time he teased her a little, Ji Qingzhou's reaction was very interesting. Chu Cheng felt from the bottom of his heart that teasing Ji Qingzhou was really a pleasant thing.
However, only for him.
Seeing that Chu Cheng was slow to reply to his WeChat message, Ji Qingzhou sent another message: Let’s leave it at that for now, you go and do your work, and I’ll take a break.
Chu Cheng replied with a "hmm".
Ji Qingzhou was relieved. It was the first time he hung up on Chu Cheng, and he was worried that Chu Cheng would be angry. Fortunately, his sponsor was as magnanimous as ever. Ji Qingzhou gave Chu Cheng another good guy card without hesitation.
In the afternoon, Ji Qingzhou followed the crew to the park to prepare for the outdoor shooting. It was rare for him to have a scene with Chen Jiyuan. The content of this scene was that Zhuang Xiangyang had a quarrel with his family and left home despite his serious illness. He sat in the pavilion in the park, watching people coming and going, tired and sleepy. At this time, it started to rain, and Zhuang Xiangyang sat in the pavilion waiting for the rain to stop, but the rain never stopped. He was sick and the wind was blowing, so he just felt shivering.
At this time, Jiang Weiwei called him and reminded him that they had agreed to watch a movie together today. In order to fulfill his promise, Zhuang Xiangyang went out of the pavilion in the rain, but he bumped into Zhang Fei by accident. He was sick and didn't have much strength. Zhang Fei's collision almost knocked him down. It was Zhang Fei's quick reaction that pulled him up and prevented him from falling.
Ji Qingzhou looked at the script and was a little worried about whether Chen Jiyuan would use some shady tricks. However, the assistant director and the director were there, so even if Chen Jiyuan really wanted to do something, they should be able to stop him. Ji Qingzhou thought of this and just hoped that the filming would go smoothly, and it would be best if it could be done in one take.
The script supervisor quickly moved the necessary equipment to the shooting point. The director asked Ji Qingzhou and Chen Jiyuan to simply go through the scene. Chen Jiyuan cooperated very well. The director emphasized the details again and reminded Chen Jiyuan to pay attention to the final reaction and grab Ji Qingzhou in time. Chen Jiyuan smiled and nodded. Ji Qingzhou looked at him, feeling uneasy.
