Rise and Slay: From Scandal Queen to Academic Genius

Chapter 435 409: Got a Solution


Ji Xizhi indeed started drawing the map from the small black shed; from the invitation segment with Director Wang and the PDs, she heard about various tricky tasks they had for the others, and she basically already judged that the production team did not intend for them to leisurely stay behind the scenes this episode.

Since they would have to enter the park sooner or later and face off against Director Wang and the PDs.

With two camps, knowing a bit about the situation in the amusement park in advance is no harm.

When watching Director Wang and the PDs enter the amusement park to complete tasks, Ji Xizhi habitually began collecting some information.

September Amusement Park and the production team were originally in a mutual promotion cooperative mode; after Director Wang and the PDs entered the park, apart from doing tasks, the camera shots would also focus on capturing September Amusement Park, with several aerial view positioning shots happening during this period.

Ji Xizhi happened to use this information to not only draw a map for herself but also conveniently replicated five copies for the others.

When getting off the tour bus, she intentionally sat at the exit and distributed copies to each person as they disembarked.

Now, these six people each had a copy, all holding the map.

Zhu Xiu’an, Fang Zhuyue, Guan Fengyan, Sheng Yaoyao, and Qin Yutian noticed the items in their hands as they disembarked, initially not taking it seriously, thinking Ji Xizhi had something to say to everyone.

But when they opened it, it turned out to be a mini map.

And it’s of the kind that includes the positioning of Director Wang and the PDs.

Everyone was stunned.

Then, in perfect sync, they exclaimed in unison, “Awesome!”

[The game has just started, and your teammate has already hacked it for you; this must be the highest realm of effortless victory!]

[Just pull out those who were saying Ji Xizhi was writing a paper! Some are lecturing her for not taking the show seriously? Who is more earnest in recording the program than her?]

[Production team: Split, everyone split them up! Ji Xizhi: Got it, preemptive insertion!]

[I also want a teammate like Zhi Zhi; can she draw one for me? Asking for fan benefits!]

[No, please don’t ask. I haven’t finished the last batch of exam sheets yet! I’m trembling~]

[@SeptemberAmusementPark Can you replicate the map drawn by Ji Xizhi? Put it in the amusement park, and I’m sure I’ll get an annual pass!]

[Great idea! I’m heading to Weibo to tag the September Amusement Park manager~]

This time, September Amusement Park chose to cooperate with “Life Experience” to build fame for the park’s official opening and attract more visitors.

“Life Experience” is crucial for promoting the amusement park.

But opportunities for cooperation between amusement parks and variety shows aren’t scarce; escape shows or dating shows often like to collaborate with amusement parks, while lifestyle shows like “Life Experience” rarely connect with amusement parks.

The manager of September Amusement Park was worried before entering the streaming, pondering how to maximize the park’s fame through this episode – should they focus more on photos of artists engaging in projects or showcasing more of the park’s facilities?

No matter how the manager thought about it, it lacked novelty and wasn’t impressive until—

He clicked into the live-stream and saw the exquisite small map in Ji Xizhi’s hands and the fans on the barrage crazily tagging the park.

Manager: !!! An angle never imagined!

This is a publicity hotspot from the heavens.

A hand-drawn map co-branded by September Amusement Park and Ji Xizhi!

Who doesn’t know now that Ji Xizhi is one of the hardest artists in the entertainment industry to collaborate with!

If September Amusement Park could purchase Ji Xizhi’s hand-drawn map and place it in the park, how could they lack traffic?

The manager, overjoyed, flailed about, “Quick! Find a way to contact Teacher Ji Xizhi now; we must buy her hand-drawn map!”

#HopeJiXizhiCollaboratesWithSeptemberAmusementPark# When this hashtag surged, the bystanders were dumbfounded.

Ji Xizhi collaborating with an amusement park? How can Ji Xizhi collaborate with an amusement park; they’re simply not compatible!

Some people on Weibo, representing Ji Xizhi, declared that her consistent persona was that of a studious genius. If she cooperated with an amusement park, wouldn’t her persona collapse?

Others, representing amusement parks, stated that parks are places for fun and joy, so they should invite artists who enjoy playing games for promotional cooperations—what does it mean to invite Ji Xizhi?

Both sides had their points, neither willing to yield, generally disagreeing with having Ji Xizhi as September Amusement Park’s spokesperson.

Just when the argument between the two sides reached its peak and became hottest—

September Amusement Park’s official blog suddenly released Ji Xizhi’s hand-drawn map, declaring it would be used as the park’s guidance map.

The two groups of people stared at the Weibo post, collectively falling into contemplation.

Which artist collaborates with amusement parks like this? Aren’t they generally doing endorsement marketing collaborations or, at the very least, shooting posters of themselves with projects? What’s this cooperation model?

The group supporting Ji Xizhi looked at the map, especially after seeing how she drew it in the “Life Experience” show; they could no longer utter the phrase “collapse of the studious genius persona.”

The group backing the amusement parks looked at the exquisite, small map, lacking market-template design polish but possessing more uniqueness and memorable points, also found themselves lost for words when it came to opposition.

The arguments ceased with ease.

September Amusement Park straightaway reaped the popularity.

Several large amusement parks, witnessing September Amusement Park’s wave of marketing, found it so ridiculous it nearly provoked a shout.

They had invited some artists, with participation costs generally not cheap.

September Amusement Park actually invited Ji Xizhi, one of the most challenging collaboration artists in entertainment, spending the least amount of money.

The other amusement parks were envious but also begrudging.

But who would have thought of such a brand-new cooperation model!

No matter how they rack their minds, they couldn’t come up with it!

Within the “Life Experience” program crew, Ji Xizhi was still unaware that the small map she had prepared ahead of time had already stirred up hot trends on Weibo.

Ji Xizhi was busy examining the map inside the amusement park, matching each point one by one. Although her pace was not particularly fast, it appeared much more steady compared to the speed at which other guests were sprinting.

The other guests had grabbed Ji Xizhi’s map; after confirming the task target’s location of Director Wang and the PDs, they dashed towards the last positioning on the map.

After all, the map directions provided by Ji were from ten minutes prior, and during those ten minutes, Director Wang and PDs could have changed positions, but the shorter the time, the less far they would have gone.

Everyone was eager to first meet Director Wang and the PDs so they could continue contemplating their next move.

Ji Xizhi, as the map creator herself, knew the park’s locations better than everyone else.

But unlike the others who immediately rushed to find Director Wang and the PDs, she stayed put, scrutinizing the map for quite a while.

Finding Director Wang and the PDs’ location is easy; the challenge is how to have them willingly clear their Life Value.

Unless Director Wang and the PDs completely trust her… wait, complete trust.

Ji Xizhi had an idea.
