Chapter 360: Chapter 338: But You Still Want to Do It?

The task of finding a story for the program team from yesterday to today has led everyone to have some ideas, more or less.

Yesterday, mainly Fang Zhuyue, You Yingmeng, and Zhong Yulu proposed ideas, and of course, Zhu Xiu’an also presented those ridiculous ideas.

Le Qiqi wasn’t really interested in these things either, so she just opted out.

Sheng Yaoyao and Guan Fengyan chatted with Old Tao’s family today and came up with some stories with a stronger sense of age.

Everyone had their own ideas, but no story could make everyone satisfied.

Ji Xizhi hadn’t mentioned the story she wanted to shoot until just now when she finally shared her thoughts.

The story she wants to film is simple, based on Sun Qianqian as the prototype.

Although Sun Qianqian’s matter had been handed over to Qi Zheng to handle, there are still many aspects that Qi Zheng finds inconvenient to manage, so Ji Xizhi, given that ’Life Experience’ is being recorded here, is the person who can help Sun Qianqian the quickest.

The microfilm that the program team wants to shoot this episode is not only meant to use the film to educate the villagers but also for a very important reason, which is the collection of relevant evidence. Witnesses and material evidence are indispensable.

To do this, relying solely on Ji Xizhi’s efforts makes it too easy to get noticed. She needs the entire program team’s help.

Ji Xizhi didn’t hide anything from the other guests regarding Sun Qianqian’s story. She explained it in detail and deliberately avoided the program’s live broadcast cameras during the discussion to ensure no one else knew.

The other guests were infuriated upon hearing about Sun Qianqian’s situation.

Sheng Yaoyao was the first to slam the table and stand up, “These shameless bastards! Lock them all up!”

It was her first time blushing on the show. Most of the time, she was gentle and graceful, but this time she couldn’t hold back.

Her child was not even one year old, and she couldn’t bear to see these things.

Guan Fengyan thought more deeply and said seriously, “Zhi Zhi, this is not a small matter. Early in my acting career, I heard about these things too, but they are very difficult to resolve because they happened so long ago. It’s not easy to trace and find evidence.”

Ji Xizhi: “I know.”

Guan Fengyan: “But you still want to do it?”

Ji Xizhi: “Yes.”

Ji Xizhi answered without hesitation.

Guan Fengyan felt a tremor in his heart and said, “Okay, if there’s anything I can do, I’m in too!”

Le Qiqi chimed in, “I still have some people on the cruise, they’re pretty skilled, should I call them over?”

Zhu Xiu’an and Fang Zhuyue simultaneously rolled up their sleeves, “I can fight!”

Both said it in unison, then glared at each other with their teeth bared before looking away.

You Yingmeng had always been cautioned by her manager not to cause trouble, not to get involved in anything outside of the program team to avoid negative press. She had been following her manager’s advice until now.

But at this moment, looking at everyone’s expressions, she firmly replied, “I want to help too!”

The least attentive was Zhong Yulu.

When she heard Ji Xizhi was about to say something, she reflexively came over, fearing Ji Xizhi would mention the incident with the rubber dinghy from the morning and ruin her reputation.

But later, she realized Ji Xizhi didn’t bring it up, and Zhong Yulu stopped paying attention after that.

Now everyone was talking about wanting to help, so Zhong Yulu just gave a perfunctory response.

No one objected to the story proposed by Ji Xizhi; it was unanimously approved, cementing the film’s theme and the program team’s final task for this episode.

Although the core task is to help Sun Qianqian, the recording of ’Life Experience’ still needs to continue.

And in front of the live broadcast cameras, they must not let the audience know in advance.

Therefore, filming aspects need to be cautious and careful, and on the surface, they still need to diligently complete the tasks.

After discussing with screenwriter Meng Tu last night, Ji Xizhi already decided on the movie to adapt.

’Shadow towards the Sun’ is an old film from several years ago. The director and actors weren’t well-known in the industry, the film wasn’t really popular, and it was somewhat obscure, but both the plot and its core were profound.

The film mainly tells the story of a rural development history, where the female protagonist rises from the rural area and then returns to revitalize and develop the countryside. Ji Xizhi chose this film for adaptation because there is a segment in the middle about child trafficking, which, though not long in the film’s overall time, is quite complete with a beginning and end, making it suitable for adaptation into a microfilm.

Ji Xizhi first called Meng Tu to confirm that this movie could be adapted and also checked with Director Wang to confirm the possibility of purchasing the rights before settling on it.

Besides Director Wang, other guests in the program team hadn’t really watched this movie, at best, they’d vaguely heard of it. Now that they’ve decided to adapt this film, it is necessary to watch it in advance.

Even though Meng Tu is helping with the adaptation, she’s busy with the crew of ’Love Begins Here’ and can’t always be there. Like today, she had to wait for ’Love Begins Here’ to finish filming before she could come over.

Everyone thought about it and decided to just watch the movie first.

A group of people huddled in front of Old Tao’s television, connecting via a screen link, while the program team’s live stream continued in the living room.

Since Ji Xizhi was discussing Sun Qianqian’s matter with the guests, Director Wang had already instructed the post-production team to display a text notice in the live stream. Follow current novels on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝~𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖~𝕟𝕖𝕥

“To ensure the final presentation effect, the discussion related to microfilm shooting will not be fully broadcasted, and it will be included as outtakes in this episode after release.”

This isn’t the first time for the ’Life Experience’ program team, similar to a prior performance. Hence, audiences didn’t mind, they were just itching to know what Ji Xizhi wanted to film it about.

[Here we go again, the same old trick, let me eavesdrop on what Zhi Zhi wants to shoot about! I’m a VIP, you know!]

[Only three days left on the countdown, darn it, I hate that I can’t fast-forward through the live stream!]

[Uncle Wang, you better be a nice guy! Or else… I’ll turn off the live and wait for three days to watch again?]

The viewers were teased, bustling in the live chat.

Not until Ji Xizhi turned on Old Tao’s television and played ’Shadow towards the Sun’ via screen share did they start getting a clue.

However, not many spectators in the live stream had seen this film either, and the guests gathered around to watch it, prompting the fanbase to join in as well.

[I cleverly achieved watching a movie together with my idol! So happy!]

[This movie looks pretty good, is this the film Zhi Zhi picked? The female lead is so cool!]

[Welcome support for ’Shadow towards the Sun’, it truly is a great film, a hidden gem, if you like it after watching, please go rate it on Douban, thank you!]

The program’s guests and audiences initially watched from a task-oriented mindset, but as they continued, they really got hooked.

Ji Xizhi had already watched this movie yesterday and was now just accompanying everyone, while also taking notes on the details.

While taking notes, Zhong Yulu, without her noticing, sat down beside her.

Zhong Yulu: “Would you mind stepping outside for a chat?”
