Ji Xizhi’s words made Sun Qianqian’s pupils suddenly contract.
"Sentencing?!" Sun Qianqian was full of astonishment, as if she had never thought of such a thing.
Ji Xizhi saw her and did not rush her, just slowly stood up, ready to leave.
The remnants of the sunset fell softly on Ji Xizhi’s cheeks, adding a touch of solemnity and calmness under the darkening sky.
Sun Qianqian remained silent for a long time.
Ji Xizhi didn’t say more, just waved to Sun Qianqian and was about to leave.
Sun Qianqian: "You..."
She was about to speak but stopped herself.
Ji Xizhi’s steps didn’t pause, and she quickly disappeared at the quiet alley exit.
Only Sun Qianqian was left at the alley entrance.
As the sunset disappeared, the nightfall gave no breathing space, sweeping and occupying the whole sky.
Sun Qianqian looked up at the sky, then down at the suitcase beside her.
With her heavy right hand, she picked up the suitcase and walked into the darkness.
By the time Ji Xizhi walked back to the cottage by the program team along the coast, it was almost completely dark.
Groups A and B returned to the cottage at almost the same time.
Guan Fengyan was responsible for recording statistics.
Group A, tasked with finding stories, had a relatively easy task. Fang Zhuyue, You Yingmeng, and Zhong Yulu more or less recorded some stories in their notebooks.
Ji Xizhi’s notebook recorded relevant experiences of filming with the crew, all basic and superficial stuff.
Director Wang, passing by after waking from a nap, peeked in to take a look.
Ji Xizhi’s notes on the filming didn’t specify the crew’s name. Director Wang, not following the live broadcast in real-time, naturally assumed Ji Xizhi was learning from the "Life Experience" crew. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩~𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖~𝙣𝙚𝙩
Director Wang, with sleepy eyes, nodded with a smile:
"Not bad, not bad, it seems that this filming task is progressing quickly!!"
Though he praised warmly, he understood it clearly.
All the filming crew members have reached their positions through experience, not just by reading books. It all requires hands-on experience.
What experiences could Ji Xizhi gain from just a few days? Without real work, an outsider would only see the surface.
When Ji Xizhi downloaded those books and videos about filming microfilms in the morning, he had noticed but deliberately didn’t remind her, waiting for Ji Xizhi to ask for help.
He needed Ji Xizhi to realize that being a director wasn’t easy!
Director Wang calculated his little plans in his mind.
Fans in Ji Xizhi’s livestream were all old fans of Director Wang. Seeing Director Wang’s expression, they instantly understood.
[Is Uncle Wang planning to wait for Zhi Zhi to ask him for help?]
[No way, no way, has Uncle Wang got dementia so early? Can’t be!]
[With this expression, it looks like Old Wang is in danger!]
The fans made their predictions.
Director Wang knew nothing of this.
Ji Xizhi didn’t catch the implied meaning in Director Wang’s words, nodding in response: "Thinking of a way, it should be soon."
She had considered the progress of filming; learning in such a short time seemed unlikely. But if she could collaborate with Director Guan, then there would be a solution.
However, Ji Xizhi only briefly mentioned it to Director Guan before leaving. Although Director Guan was willing to help, the priority still depended on the progress of "Love Begins Here."
So, with nothing confirmed today, Ji Xizhi didn’t bring it up either.
Ji Xizhi’s words were vague.
Director Wang: smile without saying.jpg
She’s just holding on! She must be holding on!!!
Soon, when she runs out of ideas, it’ll be Ji Xizhi’s turn to ask him!
Director Wang squinted, teasing Ji Xizhi, then turned to look at Group B’s situation.
Today’s task was for Group B to go out and make money, so Guan Fengyan first recorded the money earned by Group B today.
Guan Fengyan went to the ticket-selling position again and earned around a hundred after deducting the profits.
Sheng Yaoyao and Le Qiqi earned much less, together not even reaching fifty.
The total income today was only about a hundred and fifty, and they had to feed fifty to sixty people for dinner, which wasn’t much.
Just as Sheng Yaoyao was feeling hesitant and helpless.
Ji Xizhi casually pulled a hundred yuan out of her pocket and put it in Group B’s money bag.
"Weren’t you looking for stories? How did you make money?"
Ji Xizhi: "Earned along the way!"
Again, along the way?!
Le Qiqi almost clung entirely to Ji Xizhi, ignoring everything, saying:
"Ahhhhh is making money this simple? Tomorrow I want to go with you!!!"
Though tomorrow was Group B’s turn to find stories, Sheng Yaoyao couldn’t resist asking Ji Xizhi about her money-making methods.
"Zhi Zhi, where did you earn this ’along the way’? In which place?"
Being able to stay with the film crew to observe and earn money, they simply couldn’t imagine it.
Ji Xizhi: "In the neighboring village, there’s a crew filming, recruiting extras, one hundred yuan a day."
Sheng Yaoyao: "...........?"
