"No, I won't go home."
Zheng Wenjing shook her head, put her hands around Ji Yi's neck, rested her head on his shoulder, and said with a dazed look in her eyes, "This is our common victory. I want to celebrate with you."
Ji Yu smiled helplessly, patted her on the back gently, and said, "Tiantian, since you don't want to go home, then find a place to sit down and don't run around."
"You can't drink much, stop drinking."
Zheng Wenjing's head began to feel dizzy, and she nodded after hearing this.
Ji E helped her sit down and was about to give her some instructions when Liu Yun and another actress came over, each holding a glass of wine.
"Director Ji, Sister Wenjing, I'd like to offer you a toast. Thank you for taking care of us young actors during your time on the crew." Liu Yun raised her glass with a smile.
"It's nothing. We're all colleagues, so we should take care of each other." Ji Yi raised his hand and took the wine glass from Liu Yun, saying, "Wen Jing is drunk. I'll drink this glass of wine for her."
Liu Yun smiled and said, "Director Ji, you are so considerate. Sister Wen Jing is so lucky to marry a husband like you."
Another actress asked concernedly, "Is Sister Wenjing very drunk? If so, how about Liu Yun and I take her there first? We live at the studio too, in the single dormitory behind your family building, pretty close."
"Are you going to leave now?" Ji Yu asked.
Liu Yun nodded. "Yes, Producer Liu said we'll be leaving soon. We don't have many scenes together, so we won't be part of the change, so it's almost time to leave."
"Okay."
Ji Yi turned around and patted Zheng Wenjing's shoulder, calling her name softly: "Wenjing, Wenjing?"
When Zheng Wenjing heard her own name, she shuddered all over and then opened her eyes.
The most striking thing is that the facial features have been magnified several times, and when observed closely, they have a great impact on the eyes.
Zheng Wenjing pursed her lips, resisting the urge to push him away, and asked him, "What's wrong?"
Ji Yu said, "Comrade Liu Yun and the others are going to the family compound. Do you want to go with them?"
Zheng Wenjing said, "Aren't we going to change locations soon? Producer Liu said they need to discuss the dubbing and editing. I'm the female lead, so don't I have to go?"
Ji Yu said, "I don't think you need to go. It's just an excuse. If you go there, they'll just smoke, drink, and chat. There won't be any real business to discuss."
Zheng Wenjing got a headache when she smelled cigarettes. "If that's the case, then I won't go."
"Then you and Comrade Liu Yun can go ahead." Ji Yu said, picking up Zheng Wenjing's coat and helping her put it on. "Let's go, I'll take you out."
Zheng Wenjing said "hmm".
She was still a little dizzy, and she held on to Ji Yu's arm, barely able to walk, but she walked crookedly.
After exiting the private room of the state-owned hotel, the guests in the lobby outside were sparse and most of them had left.
Zheng Wenjing raised her wrist to glance at the time on her watch and found that it was almost nine o'clock.
No wonder Producer Liu and his crew had to move to another place to drink, as the state-owned restaurant only opened at nine o'clock.
After walking out of the state-owned hotel and standing at the door, Ji Ye supported Zheng Wenjing and turned to ask Liu Yun, "How are you going?"
"We both came here by bicycle. Let Sister Wenjing sit on the back of my bicycle and I'll carry her."
Liu Yun said worriedly, "Even if Sister Wenjing is drunk, can she sit still? Don't let her fall down on the road again."
Ji Yi squeezed Zheng Wenjing's hand and asked her, "Wenjing, are you okay?"
Zheng Wenjing nodded: "Okay. I'm just a little dizzy, but I'm still conscious. Just hold on tight."
"Okay, then I'll go ride my bike."
Liu Yun quickly came over on her bicycle. Ji Yi supported Zheng Wenjing and helped her sit on the back seat of the bicycle.
Liu Yun took the initiative to say: "Sister Wenjing, you can put your arms around my waist, it will be more stable."
Zheng Wenjing did not refuse to hug her. After saying thank you with a smile, he decisively put his arm around her waist.
Liu Yun smiled, and after making sure Zheng Wenjing was firmly seated on the armrest, she turned to Ji Yu and said, "Director Ji, we'll be leaving first."
"Let's go." Ji Yi waved his hand and said, "Go slowly and be careful."
He also reminded Zheng Wenjing: "Hold on steady, don't fall."
Zheng Wenjing hummed and replied, "I understand."
Liu Yun quickly pedaled her bicycle, leaving Ji E far behind.
Zheng Wenjing leaned his head on Liu Yun's back, looking at the street scene receding beside him, his eyes empty, not knowing what he was thinking.
Liu Yun is a talkative person. When Zheng Wenjing didn't say anything, she took the initiative to speak.
"Sister Wenjing, Director Ji is so kind to you. He's so gentle and considerate. You two have been married for many years, right? There's still a glint in his eyes when he looks at you."
Zheng Wenjing remained noncommittal about this, and she didn't reveal Ji's secrets to others. She smiled and replied, "He's always been like this.
"Then you are so lucky." Liu Yun continued, "I wish I could find a husband like Director Ji in the future."
Zheng Wenjing smiled and said nothing, but she felt a little complicated.
Her marriage to Ji Yu seemed to be a happy one, and everyone envied their everlasting love. However, who knew that the inner workings of this marriage had long been rotten?
In early October, autumn came to the capital.
The night wind was a little chilly. The breeze blew up Zheng Wenjing's messy hair that was scattered around her ears, and also messed up her heart.
She was confused for a moment, not knowing whether the path she had chosen was right or wrong.
People are always vulnerable late at night.
It didn't matter. When Zheng Wenjing woke up the next morning, she was reassured.
After the film is completed, the actors' work is over, but for the director, his work has just begun and there is still a lot of work to be done.
He was so busy shuttling back and forth between home and the editing room every day that he didn't even have time to rest. His hair had grown longer, he had grown a beard, and he looked more like an art director.
Zheng Wenjing was not idle either.
After the filming of "Double Swallows" was completed, the crew's production studio saw her potential and recommended her to another senior director of the studio.
The new director is different from Ji Yi, a fledgling newcomer. He has already directed five films, all of which performed very well after their release and are considered to be quite famous.
Although Zheng Wenjing was not recommended by the producer, she still had to audition if she wanted to play the leading lady in his film. Whether she could finally get the role depended on the results of the audition.
He felt that Zheng Wenjing's acting skills were good and her image was very suitable for the new director's movie, so after the audition, they decided to let her play the heroine in the movie within a few days.
Zheng Wenjing was very happy to continue playing the leading female role and agreed without hesitation.
