Chapter 132: Ragged Filming Set
Chapter 132
"Yi Yi, wake up. I think we\'ve arrived."
Jing Yi pushed up her eye mask, still looking sleepy. "So soon?" She lazily stretched and took a moment before removing her eye mask completely.
Jing Zejun had left after watching her competition last time, saying she only had two days off and needed to hurry back for filming.
As it happened, the director had seemingly relaxed the confidentiality measures Jing Yi had mentioned before. While photos were still prohibited, visitors were now allowed on set.
Jing Zejun had asked if she wanted to visit the set, and Jing Yi immediately agreed, as she had nothing else to do at the moment.
So Jing Yi decided to head out for a set visit right away, and she even brought along Shen Xi, who was also free at home.
After getting off the plane, the two took a taxi towards the location Jing Zejun had sent.
Upon reaching the filming site Jing Zejun had mentioned, Shen Xi stared blankly at the dilapidated factory in front of her.
"Yi Yi, didn\'t you say this was a school drama?"
Jing Yi was also a bit surprised, scanning the surrounding environment before reminding Shen Xi, "Didn\'t I tell you? It\'s not just a simple school idol drama, it\'s an infinite flow series."
Although Jing Yi said that, she had also previously thought film and TV shooting locations were always crowded, glamorous places.
Shen Xi was still staring at the rundown factory, saying dazedly, "I don\'t even know what infinite flow means..."
All she knew was that she had no desire to enter this factory, and she had every right to suspect that the driver must have brought them to the wrong place!
Before Shen Xi could voice her doubts, someone came jogging over to greet them. "Sister Yi Yi!" It was Jing Zejun\'s assistant, whom Jing Yi had met once before.
Jing Yi smiled and waved, telling Shen Xi, "Our ride is here." Shen Xi looked at the approaching figure with utter despair and shock. So this really was the place?!
The assistant jogged over, still a bit out of breath. Jing Yi patted her back, saying, "Take it easy, I\'m not going to run away."
The assistant smiled sheepishly, as she had been worried about keeping Jing Yi waiting.
After catching her breath, the assistant reached out to take Jing Yi\'s luggage, but Jing Yi quickly pulled the suitcase behind her. "I can manage, it\'s too heavy for you."
Jing Yi wasn\'t just being polite: her suitcase was genuinely very heavy, packed with food and supplies she had brought for Jing Zejun.
Seeing this, the assistant didn\'t insist. She knew both Jing Zejun and Jing Yi were very easy-going people.
She helped carry some of the smaller items and greeted Shen Xi behind them, "Hello."
"You can call her Sister Xiao Xi," Jing Yi said.
The assistant nodded obediently. "Sister Xiao Xi." She had already been informed that Jing Yi would be bringing a friend.
Shen Xi quickly composed her facial expression and smiled politely. "Hello!"
"I\'ll take you over now. Sister Zejun is still filming inside."
As the assistant led Jing Yi and Shen Xi, she chatted about the afternoon tea that had arrived earlier.
"Sister Yi Yi, the afternoon tea you sent has already arrived." When it came, there was a whole cart full of sweets and coffee, enough for nearly everyone.
Jing Yi smiled. "Is that so? How was the Swiss roll?" The assistant nodded eagerly, "Delicious!"
Jing Yi nodded. She\'d have to order some to try when she got back. It was a new product from that shop, and she had only tried the matcha Swiss roll so far.
Soon, the three arrived at the filming location, and the scene before them finally resembled a proper film set.
Crew members bustling about, lights in every corner, and camera operators at various angles.
The crew seemed to be on a break, with many people sitting in different spots enjoying the afternoon tea she had sent.
"Yi Yi!"
Jing Zejun spotted her and came jogging over.
Seeing the newcomer, Shen Xi couldn\'t hide the shock in her eyes.
My goodness! What have they done to my idol?! How did an elegant young lady turn into a dirty beggar?!
"Xi Xi, long time no see!" Jing Zejun held Jing Yi\'s hand while greeting Shen Xi with a smile.
Shen Xi asked in a slightly shocked tone, "Zejun, aren\'t you filming a school drama?"
Looking like this, Shen Xi would believe it was a post-apocalyptic drama. Combined with the appearance of the filming location, she felt she might be on the verge of uncovering the truth.
Jing Zejun looked down at her dirt-covered school uniform and chuckled. "It\'s not a school drama in the traditional sense."
"By the way, have you eaten?"
"We ate on the plane." Although it wasn\'t very good, it was filling enough.
Seeing Jing Yi\'s expression, Jing Zejun knew she probably wasn\'t satisfied with the airplane meal.
She smiled. "There are snacks and desserts prepared for you in the break room." Jing Yi\'s face immediately lit up with joy.
Many crew members had also noticed Jing Yi. More than being interested in Jing Yi herself, they were curious about her sisterly relationship with Jing Zejun. From what they could see, the sisters seemed to get along quite well.
Wen Qingyan also approached from nearby.
"Jing Yi."
Jing Yi smiled and waved at Wen Qingyan. "Mr. Wen, long time no see!"
As expected of Wen Qingyan, even dressed like this, his cultured and elegant demeanor remained unaffected.
Wen Qingyan\'s lips curved upward, his eyes warm. "I haven\'t had the chance to properly congratulate you on winning second place in the racing competition."
Jing Yi giggled. "Thank you!" She hadn\'t expected Wen Qingyan to pay attention to her race.
Before they could say much more, the script supervisor reminded them it was time to resume filming.
"Let\'s have dinner together tonight then, to celebrate properly."
The award-winning actor really doesn\'t miss an opportunity, does he? Jing Yi\'s eyes flashed with amusement as she turned to look at Jing Zejun.
Seeing no objection, she smiled and said, "Sure! Xiao Xi and I will wait for you in the break room until you\'re done for the day."
Aliali: 673eba99c4f3f33ac4ee9836After the two left, Shen Xi leaned in to whisper to Jing Yi, "Yi Yi, is Wen Qingyan still pursuing Zejun? That look in his eyes: who would believe nothing\'s going on?"
"Shh, we\'ll talk about it later."
This was a film set after all, with cameras and audio equipment everywhere. They could be recorded at any moment.
Shen Xi understood and closed her mouth.
She was a sensible fan after all! A rational supporter!
Meanwhile, the assistant had led the two to the break room. Jing Yi could finally relax properly, but Shen Xi was clearly still interested in the filming outside.
She asked the assistant, "Can we go watch them film later?" The assistant nodded, "Yes, as long as you don\'t make any noise or disrupt the normal filming process, it\'s fine."
At this point, Jing Yi had picked up a Swiss roll she wanted to eat and was carefully unwrapping it.
"Do you want to go watch the filming now?"
Shen Xi laughed. It was a rare opportunity to watch her favorite celebrity act in person: why not make the most of it?
