Ji Qian didn't want to wander around, but the tables in the cemetery were so densely packed that it resembled a card room, forcing her to hide.
Ji Qian already had a lot of complaints about filming this advertisement, and when she heard the director's impolite words, her temper flared up. Just as she was about to lash out, she saw the person in charge of the cemetery pull the director aside.
"Who told you to mess with Teacher Ji! Aren't you afraid she'll send a bunch of ghosts to cause you trouble if she gets upset?!"
The cemetery manager was surprised by the director's audacity; he even dared to reprimand Ji Qian, after all, this master had even torn apart ghosts.
The director in charge of the advertisement shoot was quite old and didn't usually watch live streams or news. Hearing this, he showed no fear whatsoever, even scrutinizing the person in charge with a strange look:
"Boss, even if you're in this line of work, you have to believe in science!"
Those are all feudal superstitions. If this little girl really had that kind of ability, how could she possibly be in the entertainment industry!
Seeing that the director didn't seem to care, the person in charge didn't argue with him further, but simply used his authority to warn him:
"Anyway, you should be polite to me. Teacher Ji is the first spokesperson our cemetery has hired, and we'll be working together for a long time!"
Don't use the same tactics you use on minor celebrities on Teacher Ji. If you really anger her, you and I will both be in deep trouble!
Without waiting for the director's reaction, he ran back to Ji Qian to apologize.
"Teacher Ji, I'm sorry, the director we chose is a bit old and not very bright. Please bear with us."
He then went on to give a detailed account of the cemetery's background story, speaking at length for five minutes, but unfortunately Ji Qian didn't hear a word he said.
Because at that moment, standing next to the director, who was clearly over fifty, was an old man who looked at least eight-tenths like him.
The old man was cursing and swearing at the director. In his excitement, he even picked up a table and tried to smash it over the director's head, but he missed.
During the subsequent filming, Ji Qian learned in detail about the rise and fall of the entertainment industry over the past thirty years through the old man's words.
The director's surname is Zhu and his given name is Zhengguo. He just celebrated his 50th birthday last month. Because he entered the industry during the most chaotic period of the entertainment circle, he has an extremely rich life experience.
From Zhu Zhengguo's father, Ji Qian heard the names of many respected and virtuous senior figures.
For example, a certain goddess-level senior who debuted with a pure and innocent image, once cheated on ten well-known directors in the industry at the same time when she was young. She can be said to be the originator of time management master.
For example, a certain mysterious, old-school male idol, in his early years, knocked on the doors of many directors, regardless of gender, in order to transition into acting.
The most surprising thing is that he is a veteran actor who is still active in the film industry.
It is said that he was initially promoted by a gangster, and after the gangster was arrested, he then approached the gangster's brother.
He went through more than ten different relationships before finally getting together with the big boss's biological son. It's said that the two went abroad and got married a few years ago.
Normally, the father of an ordinary director wouldn't know so much gossip, but coincidentally, many of the important moments in these gossips occurred during Zhu Zhengguo's collaboration with the main figures in the gossip.
Even Zhu Zhengguo's current miserable state is because he accidentally ate a piece of gossip he shouldn't have ten years ago, offended a powerful figure, and was subsequently sidelined.
Caught off guard by having her mouth stuffed full of melons, Ji Qian could no longer be angry with this chosen scoundrel—Director Zhu. She even had to deliberately restrain herself when looking at him to prevent herself from accidentally bursting out laughing.
After filming ended, before leaving the cemetery, Ji Qian first relayed some specific needs of the residents to the person in charge, such as:
Dislike of eating fruit, wanting to listen to Phoenix Legend's songs, the tomb leaking, the administrator taking kickbacks and secretly changing the brand of incense and candles, etc.
After explaining these things, Ji Qian jogged a few steps to catch up with Zhu Zhengguo, who was walking ahead.
Zhu Zhengguo thought Ji Qian had come to settle scores later and had prepared for the worst, but unexpectedly, he heard her whisper to him:
“When your father was hospitalized, someone came to see him. If you are interested in finding out what happened, you can try looking in the celadon vases on the antique shelf at home.”
After saying this, Ji Qian turned and ran away without waiting for his response.
By the time Zhu Zhengguo came to his senses, Ji Qian had already driven away in Liu Xia's car.
Zhu Zhengguo was a standard materialist, and logically he shouldn't have believed Ji Qian's words.
Strangely, ever since Zhu Zhengguo returned home, Ji Qian's words have been echoing repeatedly in his mind.
After a whole night of agonizing, Zhu Zhengguo, who was about to go to bed, couldn't resist any longer. He avoided his family members who were already asleep and tiptoed to the antique shelf.
At 11:28 p.m. that night, a message surged into the top three of the trending topics with astonishing speed.
Ji Qian, who was enjoying a late-night snack in her hotel room, happened to come across this hashtag. Startled, she quickly jumped up from the sofa and forwarded it to the 'Working Squad'.
