Chapter 321: Chapter 299: You Must Be Ji Xizhi’s Superfan
Ji Xizhi’s voice when asking questions wasn’t loud, but it conveyed a sense of determination.
The director was focused on controlling the entire crew’s shooting and didn’t really hear the content of Ji Xizhi’s questions; he just saw a background actor getting involved in the lead actors’ matters and instinctively had a preconceived notion.
However, the scriptwriter standing nearby heard clearly.
She was the head writer of “Love Begins Here,” fully aware of the story details of the entire script, and she had worked tirelessly on revisions for a long time.
Now, upon suddenly hearing Ji Xizhi’s words, she instinctively responded.
“That’s it, the main plot is this part. Do you think there’s a problem?”
Ji Xizhi continued, “That depends on the amount involved in the male supporting character’s fraud, whether there are any other serious circumstances, etc. It can’t be generalized; it needs to be analyzed with specific cases.”
Ji Xizhi spoke with precision.
The scriptwriter, however, became energized.
“The drama doesn’t delve into it in detail, but the main storyline is roughly like this…”
The scriptwriter had excellently developed the male supporting character in this book, but due to urgent script demands, modifications during filming had cut back most of his scenes. She hadn’t paid much attention to the details of the male supporting character’s sentencing.
Now, being asked by Ji Xizhi, she immediately became cautious and proactively engaged in a discussion with Ji Xizhi.
Today’s audience watches dramas closely; even small errors in the drama are easily pointed out. This also makes the scriptwriter increasingly meticulous, fearing that there might be overlooked aspects.
The male supporting character isn’t the protagonist, so initially, even the lead actors and others didn’t pay much attention.
Once Ji Xizhi finished analyzing the male supporting character’s criminal storyline, the lead actor, scriptwriter, and others suddenly understood.
After understanding, they began to have some questions about this young girl in front of them.
The scriptwriter was undoubtedly the happiest; after Ji Xizhi’s analysis, she found some inspiration and immediately modified some plots, making the male supporting character’s persona more three-dimensional and more genuinely compelling to the audience.
Seeing the scriptwriter’s enthusiasm, the director couldn’t help but glance at Ji Xizhi a few more times.
Initially, he had a preconceived impression of Ji Xizhi: background actors shouldn’t interfere with lead actors, as this is common in any crew. If every background actor could chime in, the filming wouldn’t be possible.
But after listening to Ji Xizhi’s well-reasoned analysis, the director’s perspective slightly shifted, and Ji Xizhi’s proactive questioning helped the crew out a little.
The director no longer felt the same initial dislike towards Ji Xizhi.
While the scriptwriter was busy revising the script dialogues.
The actress playing the female lead unexpectedly looked at Ji Xizhi, curiously asking:
“Are you a new background actor today? Are you a college student?”
The male lead actor chimed in, “Are you in law studies? I noticed you’re quite familiar with legal regulations!”
As soon as the male lead finished asking, the female lead had a sudden realization and guessed:
“If you’re not studying law, then you’re definitely a die-hard fan of Ji Xizhi!!!”
Ji Xizhi: “?”
“No…”
Ji Xizhi hadn’t even had time to explain.
The director had already started calling for people to prepare to resume filming.
The dialogues for this section required few modifications; only one line was changed. The rest of the revisions were related to the male supporting character’s storyline, not part of today’s shooting schedule, so it wasn’t affected.
Today’s filming hadn’t gone smoothly; constant interruptions delayed things considerably. Progress was already tight, and now that the scriptwriter finished revising the dialogues, the director was eager to continue filming.
Ji Xizhi didn’t need any hints from the director; once he announced to start, she proactively walked to the entrance of the alley in the background without saying a word, continuing her role as the old lady.
The director, upon seeing Ji Xizhi being so sensible, felt even better about her.
Additionally, the scriptwriter occasionally praised her beside the director.
“Thanks to her for pointing out this dialogue. Otherwise, if it was broadcasted later, we might have been criticized!”
“This background actor is quite nice and knowledgeable!”
Muttering to himself, the director focused on Ji Xizhi’s hat brim as it just passed through the camera.
He looked intently at the elaborate embroidery on the hat brim and glanced at Ji Xizhi’s stall, suddenly shouting “Cut!”
After shouting, the director pointed towards the alley where Ji Xizhi was and said:
“You, take off the hat on top of your head and display it on the stall.”
