Chapter 50 50
Ji Qingzhi's doubts didn't last long. She soon found out the reason why Gu Jingsi was here. It was also her fault. She thought that after signing the contract, she would no longer pay attention to anything related to the program crew. She didn't expect that the director was actually him.
In her opinion, the previous matters between the two of them have been written off, so he is the director, and she has just appeared in his camera in a different form. Thinking of this, Ji Qingzhi was a little amused. Was this a slap in his face?
Gu Jingsi took in all the changes in her. Seeing a hint of smile in her eyes, he nodded at her. Compared to the hostility in her eyes last time, this was much better than she expected.
Since it is a variety show, there must be more than one guest, Ji Qingzhi. Ji Qingzhi knows that there are two regular guests from the fruit channel, Sister Wen and Brother Le, but she doesn't know who the other guest is.
Qin Yuan came towards her with his men, saying that they needed to set up the venue, which would probably take some time.
"It's okay, as long as you don't move too much." Ji Qingzhi put forward his request.
"Of course, it's just putting up some floor mats and some signs." Qin Yuan's tone was somewhat helpless. There was no other way. He had to give face to the sponsors. He couldn't let the sponsors spend their money in vain. By the way, someone gave Ji Qingzhi the advertising slogan and let her use it freely. Just remember to bring it.
Ji Qingzhi was a little wary: "Are you sure there is nothing else besides this?"
"Well, there is no fixed script for 'Delicious Food'. Sister Wen and Brother Le will lead you to perform on the spot." Qin Yuan signaled her not to worry about this issue.
"When will the other guest arrive?" Ji Qingzhi asked casually.
"It's almost time. I hope Teacher Ji will be surprised by then." Qin Yuan said this in a mysterious way, which made Ji Qingzhi even more curious.
It was not until Qian Wan arrived that she understood the surprise Qin Yuan mentioned. She raised her eyebrows. Indeed, compared to a complete stranger, it was a surprise for her that the guest was Qian Wan.
"Hello, Teacher Ji." Qian Wan could tell at a glance that she had done some makeup specially.
"Hello, what a coincidence." Ji Qingzhi stretched out his hand and shook hands with him.
The two of them started chatting about the topic of variety shows. Gu Jingsi glanced over there and saw the two people chatting happily. He couldn't help but ask: "Do they know each other?"
Bai Hongkai looked around after hearing this, then pointed at himself uncertainly, and said in an uncertain tone: "Director Gu, are you asking me?"
"What else?" Gu Jingsi turned around and rolled his eyes at him, then looked over there again. The two looked very familiar with each other, so it seemed that they knew each other.
Bai Hongkai followed his gaze and realized what he meant. He nodded and said, "I think they know each other. Qian Wan is a food blogger. His girlfriend likes Teacher Ji very much."
Yes, ever since he received the prize sent by Ji's Restaurant last time, Bai Hongkai has become a loyal customer of Ji's Restaurant, and the way he addresses Ji Qingzhi has also changed to "Teacher Ji" following the netizens.
"Girlfriend?" For some reason, when Gu Jingsi, who had a tense expression just now, heard these three words, his expression slowly relaxed.
"Yes, Qian Wan and his girlfriend met at Ji's Restaurant. Netizens joked that Teacher Ji was their matchmaker." Bai Hongkai said and directly opened the comments of Ji's Restaurant.
Gu Jingsi took a quick glance and quickly looked away. He would never miss any video of Ji's Restaurant, but he had never opened the comment section. Now it seems that he missed a lot of wonderful things.
Bai Hongkai had just put away his phone when he heard Gu Jingsi say, "You seem to be quite familiar with these."
"I like food very much." After Bai Hongkai said this, he looked up at Gu Jingsi. There was something wrong with Director Gu. He never paid attention to other people's affairs before.
"Well, go ask Qin Yuan what time it starts." As if noticing Bai Hongkai's question, Gu Jingsi quickly retracted his gaze.
The recording of "Delicious Food" is actually very simple. Ji Qingzhi's important task this time is to demonstrate her cooking skills, which is undoubtedly a simple matter for her. In order to show her knife skills, the camera gave several close-ups of her hands. Every time the close-up shot cut to her hands, Gu Jingsi's eyes became particularly profound.
Most of the people working together were familiar to each other and the atmosphere was relaxed, so the recording went very smoothly. Ji Qingzhi breathed a sigh of relief. Very good, there were only three more episodes to go and the money would be in hand.
Although the recording went very smoothly, it was almost six o'clock when it ended. Today was the first day of recording. Qin Yuan invited the guests and the main members of the program team to have dinner together in the evening. Ji Qingzhi naturally could not refuse such a dinner. After she sent a message to Lao Ji, she planned to follow the main group.
Qian Wan drove here by himself. Thinking of Qiu Tian's wish, he planned to invite Ji Qingzhi to go with him. However, he didn't expect that before he could step forward, someone got there first.
Seeing Gu Jingsi approaching her, Ji Qingzhi was not sure if he was looking for her, but there seemed to be no one else behind her at this moment. Before she could speak, the person opposite her spoke first: "Qin Yuan and the others have gone over. My assistant has driven to get something. Can Teacher Ji take me with you?"
Ji Qingzhi was stunned for a moment. Okay, so she came here to get a ride. Thinking of the next three episodes of cooperation, she nodded: "Of course, Director Gu, you are too polite."
"Then I'll trouble you, Teacher Ji." The first time he took the initiative to strike up a conversation, it went more smoothly than Gu Jingsi had expected. Of course, he also understood that this was due to their cooperation. He had not forgotten the hostility in her eyes last time.
Ji Qingzhi originally thought that he would choose the back seat, but he ended up sitting directly on the passenger seat. Fortunately, she had just packed up her miscellaneous gadgets on the passenger seat yesterday.
As soon as he got in the car, Gu Jingsi smelled the perfume in the car. It seemed to smell fruity, light and pleasant. He glanced at the person next to him and thought that this should be her smell, not the perfume in the car.
"Director Gu, remember to fasten your seat belt." Ji Qingzhi reminded him when she saw that he didn't seem to have any intention of fastening his seat belt.
"Sorry." Gu Jingsi's tone was calm, but he was full of regret. He actually forgot about this matter.
"It's okay." Ji Qingzhi thought, if he wasn't in her car, she wouldn't care whether he was wearing a seat belt or not.
Ji Qingzhi started the car only after he fastened his seat belt. She stared at the road ahead seriously, giving off an aura that said "keep away from strangers". Gu Jingsi lowered his eyes. To be honest, he didn't know what he was doing. He just walked towards her instinctively.
The filming of this movie was a challenge for him. These three months were the most important three months for him. At the beginning, he just wanted to check Xu Yu'an's progress through videos. Later, watching videos every night became his habit. He had already watched those videos of Ji's Restaurant by heart. It can be said that those videos accompanied him through the most difficult three months.
The protagonist of the video, Ji Qingzhi, has also been with him for three months, so he couldn't tell whether his active approach was out of habit or something else? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look up, his eyes fell on the hands on the steering wheel. From the video, he could see the calluses on her fingertips, and now he could see it more directly. He remembered how relaxed and happy she was in the video, and couldn't help asking, "Why did Teacher Ji choose to enter the circle before?"
Ji Qingzhi was a little surprised. Did this man understand what was meant by abrupt? She tilted her head to glance at him and said indifferently, "Then why did Director Gu choose to be a director?"
She remembered that there had been reports before that Gu Jingsi had a great family background. Yan Si was terrified at the time, fearing revenge from Gu Jingsi, and even asked someone to verify the news. Unexpectedly, the news was true. During that time, Yan Si was very nervous for a while, but finally, when she saw that Gu Jingsi really had no intention of revenge, she was completely relieved.
"When I was a child, I liked to use the camera to record the things around me. Later, I found that I could use the camera to grasp various stories. I became more and more interested in it. Later, I firmly chose to become a director." Gu Jingsi leaned back in his chair, recalling the past, and he felt very relaxed.
Well, I didn't expect him to really tell me. Ji Qingzhi naturally couldn't tell the truth in his words. He planned to say a few words to evade the question, and then he heard the person next to him speak again: "Sorry, the question just now was a bit abrupt, Teacher Ji, you can ignore it. Speaking of which, I still owe Teacher Ji an apology."
"What apology?" Ji Qingzhi was a little confused.
"I was wrong to discuss your acting publicly. There should have been a better way to handle that matter. I chose to hurt Teacher Ji once and for all. I am really sorry." Gu Jingsi said sincerely.
"You're not wrong, I really don't have any acting skills." Ji Qingzhi sighed in her heart. Her acting skills were mediocre to begin with, and the roles Yan Si gave her were bad, so what he said was actually the truth.
"You were actually very lively in your first play. I was too arbitrary." Gu Jingsi had watched all of Ji Qingzhi's plays before. In the first play, she was only the fourth female role. Although she did not appear many times, it was obvious that her performance was very lively at that time. Later, most of the roles she played were stereotyped supporting female roles. Her performance was very exaggerated. She had more skills but less lively and vitality.
He guessed that this should be related to her agent. Now thinking about it, it was her agent who actively pushed for it at that time, but he chose to criticize her, which was indeed wrong on his part.
This time it was Ji Qingzhi who was surprised. She turned her head and looked at Gu Jingsi, her tone full of surprise: "Have you watched my previous dramas?"
"Yes, although you were a newcomer at that time, you performed very well." Gu Jingsi remembered that his aunt, Xu Yu'an's mother, said that girls all like words of praise, not to mention that what he said was the truth.
"Really?" Ji Qingzhi frowned and had some self-doubt. After the filming of the first drama, Yan Si looked very unhappy and said that she didn't know how to express herself in front of the camera, and the ratings of that drama were average. Thinking of this, she tilted her head and glanced at the person next to her. If someone is too attentive to others for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief, so what is his intention?
