The on-site photographers all showed expressions of horror at the director’s new requirents.
The director himself could hardly hold it together.
He was a bit shaky now.
Ji Xizhi, who was in the fra, didn’t feel much.
She had seen plenty of contract law cases before, especially when she used to do free legal aid with her ntor in small towns. Companies were often informal, didn’t sign contracts, didn’t provide benefits, and exploited employees. Those expressions were deeply rembered.
Ji Xizhi was rely replicating their expressions, which wasn’t really acting; it was just what she had absorbed from experience.
As for the positioning and cara work, of course, she rembered it from the director’s earlier explanations. Although it wasn’t the main point, Ji Xizhi was used to analyzing and noting every word, and it just naturally stuck in her mind.
Ji Xizhi completed the first scene, then seamlessly added a warning about contract law content at the end.
This wasn’t intended to be fild now; usually, it’s done post-production with dubbing.
But since Ji Xizhi finished an entire part without hearing the director call ’cut,’ she simply finished it all in one go.
After finishing everything that was in the script for the first scene, Ji Xizhi took the initiative to go in front of the monitor and asked, "Director, was there any NG? Where needs adjustnt for another take?"
The director in front of the monitor took a mont to react: "..."
What NG!
He took a big gulp from his thermos, then looked up with a smile and said, "No, no need, you can go change clothes, let’s shoot the next part!"
Only then did Ji Xizhi nod, turn around, and go to the dressing room to change her look.
In the dressing room, the makeup artist was watching Xiao Yuan struggling with a test paper, amusing herself by scrolling through her phone. But she hadn’t even gotten halfway through when Ji Xizhi ca back in.
The makeup artist quickly got up from her chair, "Teacher Ji, what’s up? Need a touch-up?!"
In such a short ti, it couldn’t be that the first part was finished, right? The makeup artist instinctively thought it was for a touch-up and picked up the things on the table to start.
Ji Xizhi replied, "No need, let’s change to the second outfit."
Makeup artist: "?!?!"
Hasn’t it only been half an hour? Is it finished already?
The makeup artist looked bewildered.
Seeing that Ji Xizhi had already sat down in the chair, she didn’t have ti to ask more and imdiately started changing Ji Xizhi’s look.
After the second look was done, Ji Xizhi went out for half an hour, then quickly ca back to change into the third set.
The entire comrcial shoot had originally been planned for the whole day, with the director renting out the studio just for Ji Xizhi, but now it was all done in less than half a day.
The director finished the shoot, checked the ti, and was stunned.
But looking at the perfect footage on the monitor, he was extrely satisfied. Who wouldn’t want to finish a day’s work in half a day?!
After relishfully watching the shoot footage, the director praised it while sighing.
Brilliant, just brilliant!
How on earth did Ji Xizhi manage to capture everyone’s expressions so accurately! It felt like she’d really been through such situations!!!
He watched the video reluctantly, and after confirming there were no problems, he started instructing everyone to wrap up.
All the on-site staff got off work early, and a group of photographers looked gratefully towards Ji Xizhi.
This was just great! Is this really the benefit of working under a top star in the entertainnt industry?!
Mom, I also want to work with Ji Xizhi!
Many of the on-site staff had such a thought rise in their minds, even the person responsible for welcoming Ji Xizhi was montarily moved.
Until they saw Xiao Yuan furiously doing papers in the makeup room.
All their fantasies shattered with a "snap," utterly crushed.
The person in charge’s pupils were in shock as he looked at the big bag Xiao Yuan brought in the morning, stacked with a pile of papers on top, as if struck by lightning.
Was the big bag from this morning filled with test papers? Is Ji Xizhi really bringing an assistant to squeeze in test paper work during filming breaks???
The person in charge: suffocation.jpg

The legal awareness ad’s shooting was much faster than expected, and the whole team finished before noon.
As they were leaving the studio, while other staff were tidying up, Xiao Yuan went out first to bring the nanny van over, leaving Ji Xizhi to wait inside the studio.
The photographer from the next studio stepped out for a smoke during his shoot and imdiately saw Ji Xizhi standing there, unable to resist walking over.
He knew Ji Xizhi was shooting here today, and it just so happened that he had photographed Ji Xizhi during her previous singing and dancing stage performance. They had an unpleasant encounter that he rembered to this day. Now that Ji Xizhi was famous, no matter how impressive her academic image was, her stage performance was terrible. That’s a fact! Undisputable!
He’d heard that Ji Xizhi was shooting next door when he ca to the studio this morning, so he paid a little attention.
Seeing Ji Xizhi’s photography team finishing up before noon, he naturally assud the shoot wasn’t going well and the day’s work was over prematurely.
During shooting, it’s not uncommon to encounter such situations where the actor’s state is bad, too many NGs affect the shoot, and so actors even need to adjust their state for an hour before starting. anwhile, the photographer and the entire team just wait, significantly extending the shooting ti.
For soone like Ji Xizhi who ca out only after a few hours, he figured she couldn’t find the right state, and the team couldn’t afford to wait all day, so they either had to reschedule or replace her.
The photographer from the next studio, with a cigarette between his fingers, relaxed his brows and chatted with Ji Xizhi:
"Teacher Ji, finished early?"
Ji Xizhi slled the smoke, frowned, gave him a glance without responding, and instead took out her phone.
Seeing Ji Xizhi’s expression, the next-door photographer imdiately assud that Ji Xizhi didn’t perform well, which led to the team’s early cessation.
Tsk tsk! See, what’s the use of being a prodigy? If you perform poorly, it’s still poor!
Thinking of this, the photographer felt less tired overall.
Compared to Ji Xizhi who delayed a whole day for the team, having actors at his studio wanting just an hour’s break was nothing!
The photographer took a deep drag on his cigarette and said with a smile:
"Seems like even scholars can’t do everything well, huh?"
While speaking, he saw Ji Xizhi click and take a photo of him.
Photographer: "?"
Ji Xizhi: "Indeed, no one can do everything well. I’ll just do what I want to do well."
Ji Xizhi’s voice was calm. She looked down to upload the photo, report, and file the complaint.
Then she said: "For example, upholding laws and regulations. According to the ’Beijing Smoking Control Ordinance,’ smoking is prohibited in public places and indoor workplaces!"
The cigarette between the photographer’s fingers fell as the smirk on his face froze instantly: "!!!"
What ordinance did she say?!
