Neither of them bothered to close the door, so the office door remained open.
Ji Ping pointed to the sofa and said, "Please sit down."
"Damn it." Zheng Wenjing sat down as she was told, but was bounced up by the leather sofa under her butt.
She was startled and moved aside awkwardly: "Um... this sofa in your dad's office is quite springy."
"Haha, that's right." Ji Ping couldn't help laughing and said, "The spring inside is a bit too strong. I was bounced up a lot when I first sat on it. Even now, I'm not used to sitting on it."
Ji Ping's self-exposure eased Zheng Wenjing's embarrassment a little.
She pursed her dry lips, placed the oranges she had brought on the table, and said, "I came across an orange stand on the way here, so I bought some. Comrade Ji Ping, try some."
"Tuo."
Ji Ping responded, but didn't touch the orange. Instead, he walked to the desk, poured a glass of water for Zheng Wenjing, and handed it to her: "Drink water."
Zheng Wenjing took it and said, "Thank you."
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment, so Ji Ping took out the projector from the cabinet and said, "Comrade Wen Jing, let's go watch a movie. I knew you were coming today, so I borrowed a small projector from the editing team yesterday. It's not picky about the location, we can show it right in the office."
Ji Ping pulled the curtains in his office, which were specially designed to block out light. Once they were drawn, the light in the office dimmed instantly. Of course, to avoid suspicion and prevent gossip, he kept the office door open.
Ji Ping pointed the projector at a wall in the office and turned it on.
The projector started to creak and the picture on the wall flashed. Ji Ping adjusted the position and size of the picture, and the movie began soon.
Because it is a rough cut, the movie does not have any opening titles and goes straight to the beginning of the story.
Ji Ping explained: "I just finished the first cut, and the overall look is still a bit rough. The matching music and title sequence haven't been made yet. Please take a look at it first, and don't be disgusted."
"Why should I be dissatisfied? I'm so happy that I can see the movie I made in advance." Zheng Wenjing didn't mind at all.
Ji Ping smiled and said, "Then it's okay."
As the plot began to progress, the two stopped talking and focused on the movie.
Although she had read the entire script in advance and was very familiar with the plot of the entire film, Zheng Wenjing was still attracted by the plot and immersed herself in it completely when she saw the finished product for the first time.
After the movie ended, Ji Pingxin opened the curtains and the light in the room came on. Zheng Wenjing still felt a little reluctant to leave.
She watched the nearly two-hour movie with such concentration that she didn't even notice the passage of time.
Zheng Wenjing said with some emotion: "I really didn't expect that the final effect of the film would be so good. Now I have an illusion that I have really experienced those stories."
Ji Ping smiled and nodded: "It's because your acting is so natural, it doesn't seem like you're acting."
"Really?" Zheng Wenjing smiled shyly, "You're praising me so much that I feel a little uncomfortable."
Ji Ping: "No, I'm speaking from the heart."
