Chapter 338: Chapter 316: Did the Other Crew Come to Crash the Set?

[Right now listening to them argue, I feel like I’m about to ascend to heaven, hahaha!]

[Sorry, I didn’t catch what they were discussing at all. I was mostly watching Ji Xizhi and yearning for her to sing a couple of lines!]

[Ladies, you’re mistaken. If you look closely, Ji Xizhi’s expression is frozen, but she’s still learning! Look at her hands! Her mind is still working!]

Ji Xizhi was sitting slightly on the edge of the group.

She just listened, barely participating in the discussion. Most of the discussion was the imaginative back-and-forth between the guest with stories and Meng Tu.

Meng Tu is a great teacher. She can highlight the shining points in every story the guests tell. Fang Zhuyue and You Yingmeng were both listening attentively, becoming more and more enthusiastic.

With Ji Xizhi on the side, there was naturally no need for her to speak up; it was better to give them more time to communicate.

And the story she wants to film.

Ji Xizhi recalled that scene from the afternoon, then turned to look at the pitch-black night outside the door.

After watching for a while, she snapped back to reality and continued listening.

Afterward, most of the discussion was between Fang Zhuyue and You Yingmeng about the plot.

When they had discussed enough, Meng Tu, with a somewhat reluctant expression, finally told them the outcome:

“Actually, what we film is not the most important thing. Every story we carefully refine can become a good movie. But right now, the most crucial issue is time.”

“To put it this way, I think with just four days, you stand no chance to complete a full script. Even if I were to pull an all-nighter, it might not be possible.”

This one line shattered all their efforts.

Previously, Meng Tu led everyone in a heated discussion,

“Ah, so what do we do now?!”

“I’ve been saying that Old Wang set this task without good intentions!”

The guests, upon reaching this point in the discussion, suddenly felt deflated.

Ji Xizhi seemed to have anticipated it all, “Then, how about adapting?”

Finding an existing story to adapt.

Previously, everyone was led by Director Wang toward a specific goal, working hard to make the film a promotional piece for H Province tourism, but they had put the cart before the horse.

Director Wang never specified they needed to shoot a tourism promotional film, just a movie.

As a director, surely Director Wang knew achieving this in such a short time was impossible; he deliberately didn’t remind everyone.

When Ji Xizhi was involved with the “Love is Here Crew,” she learned from Meng Tu that “Love Begins Here” was adapted from a famous novel, and that gave her an idea.

Meng Tu had thought of suggesting an adaptation but, being unfamiliar with the “Life Experience” program, assumed originality was needed.

Now with Ji Xizhi bringing it up, she nodded eagerly: “That seems possible.”

However, adaptations require specific themes.

For the moment, no one had a concrete idea but only referenced some old movies.

The group excitedly resumed their discussion, talking for quite a while but failing to come up with a conclusion.

Suddenly, the sound of a door opening came from a corner room on the first floor.

Movements were rushed, footsteps swift, accompanied by a voice charged with either urgency or anger.

Director Wang appeared in the view of all the guests.

He charged straight from the corner to Ji Xizhi’s side, exclaiming, “Ji Xizhi, how many people did you invite?!!!”

Since stepping down as director, Director Wang had rarely appeared on camera, nor did he need to issue tasks, enjoying a laid-back lifestyle.

Having gotten used to Ji Xizhi’s wild antics, even when the head writer of “Love Begins Here” came, he remained unfazed.

Of course, he had already considered the difficulty of this task. Initially, there was indeed no scriptwriter guidance for them, but later, he did contact a renowned scriptwriter to eventually step in as a friend’s online guest instructor, ensuring the show wouldn’t fall flat for the ratings’ sake.

Before he could finalize those arrangements, Ji Xizhi proactively invited a scriptwriter over, which he thought was great, saving him the trouble, so he didn’t interfere further.

Unexpectedly, this relief… turned into an excessive relief!!! Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on 𝖓𝖔𝖛𝖊𝖑~𝖋𝖎𝖗𝖾~𝖓𝖊𝖙

When Director Wang saw the live broadcast feed of a massive group in “Love Begins Here” crew uniforms standing outside the small courtyard.

Director Wang had a bad feeling.

He even suspected the other crew came to make trouble?

Ji Xizhi, Meng Tu, and the program guests were still immersed in the plot discussion atmosphere.

Upon hearing that a group from the “Love Begins Here” crew had shown up at the door,

the pen in Ji Xizhi’s hand paused momentarily.

“Didn’t call too many?”

Director Wang exclaimed: “Not too many???”

There were at least dozens of people outside!

After speaking with Ji Xizhi, Director Wang shot out of the small house like a rocket.

Ji Xizhi and the others followed along a bit slower given the circumstances.

They had just stepped out of the small house when they witnessed Director Wang hauling the courtyard gate open with a loud swish.

With the wide-open gate, the “Life Experience” staff suddenly aimed intense lights at them.

Director Guan had just raised his hand to knock when the lights blinded him; raising his head, he saw Director Wang’s furious face.

Director Guan, along with the entire crew of “Love Begins Here,” raised both hands in surrender instead of knocking.
