Chapter 62 – Happy Base Camp
Did Fang Xie think that an outdoor survival variety show in which she could carry a hammer would attract Su Jishi to join?

Well, he was right.

Without saying anything, Su Jishi immediately began to pack her bags, hoping to fly to the variety show recording site at the very next day.

God knows, although she only spent four days in this drama group, she really couldn’t bear it anymore!

Every time she worried her acting skills dropping off from what was expected, it threatened the little sanity left in her. Moreover, the most excruciating thing in the set was being forced to interact with Zhou Jing, day and night!

As she looked at her, Su Jishi’s anger would rise one point higher. But then she would have to to pretend getting along with her.

In her heart, she vowed that one day she would find a corner out of the CCTV’s recording and break Zhou Jing’s nanny car glass window!

Zhou Jing was a woman who acted like a rudder meeting the wind. At first when she thought that Su Jin had been abandoned by her financial backer, she showed off her authority.

But then, Mu Xiulun came to “visit” Su Jishi that afternoon so Zhou Jing immediately bowed to Su Jishi and seemed to began kneeling and licking her feet.

There was a lot of interaction between the heroine and the supporting actress in the shooting lately. After every shoot, Zhou Jing would drag herself in front of Su Jishi whenever she had time.

Everytime Su Jishi arrives and leaves the set, Zhou Jing would come to her to say hello. Even at lunch, she would let her assistant make an extra nutritional meal and have it sent to Su Jishi’s table whether she wanted it or not.

Because the filming was all on campus, students are indispensable to watch the movie. Many unidentified onlookers saw the frequent “interaction” between the two and thought they had a good personal relationship. They quickly took photos and videos and posted them on Weibo, praising the two for their “sisterhood.”

Su Jishi: “…”

Sisters? I only have one!

She felt queasy at the thought of each other’s flattering smile, so when she heard that there was a variety show inviting her, she couldn’t wait to finish filming immediately and fly to the mountains.

Fang Xie quickly held down her bags. “Sister Su! Sister Su! Don’t be so excited! This is only a preliminary invitation. Our side has agreed but the program team will still have to contact other guests. When all is settled, the time will be fixed. It will take at least three weeks of preparation.”

“Why invite other guests?” Su Jishi asked with her arms crossed.

“Of course, it is for the program to be wonderful and beautiful. If there is only one star, it will not be interesting, interactive and competitive!”

Su Jishi uttered at a loss, “But was there not only one guest in Baiye Entertainment’s “Survival in the Wild”?

“Exactly! This is a similar variety show! Have you ever seen an idol artist drop into the rainforest by air? I have seen this program, a group of guests at least six people, each with two follow-up film crews. Taking into account the director, radio men, team doctor, and other staff, even if the guests won’t bring assistants, the whole team should have at least 30 people.”

Su Jishi: “……”

Su Jishi: “……”

Su Jishi: “………”

The entertainment circle always resort to deceit.

Bollocks! Thirty people going in groups—this is not a wilderness to survive through, but a happy base camp!

***

In the end, Fang Xie finally persuaded Su Jishi back to the production team.

Fortunately, the five-day shooting schedule flashed by, leaving only the last day to remake a few night scenes.

The story took place near the end of the movie—the heroine slowly experienced the benefits of “love notes” and decided to write the name of one handsome boy on the miraculous notebook.

Under the action of the notes, the boy really fell in love with the heroine. However, the love notes’ power had a time limit. When it expires, his love for the heroine also disappears. The heroine dressed up beautifully to go on a date with him, but when she heard him breaking up with her, she walked home and cried miserably on the road.

Drowned in her sorrows, she was almost hit by a motorcycle. At this critical moment, someone grabbed her, and saved her from being hurt. She looked up and unexpectedly found that the person who saved her was actually the supporting actress!

This night scene was not taken in the university campus, but in a commercial area on the edge of the 4th ring road.

The production team greeted the municipal authorities in advance and paid an expensive street rental fee before renting the intersection.

The last time Su Jishi returned to China was ten years ago. At that time, this place was still a small bungalow to be demolished. However, in the past ten years, great changes had taken place. High-rise buildings have sprung up and several of the huge advertisements were hung on the top of shopping malls bearing Su Jin’s printed face.

In less than a month after returning home, Su Jishi unconsciously became accustomed to seeing her own face on TV, magazines and outdoor advertisements. She and Su Jinqng have the same face, the only difference was that Su Jinqing had a small tear-shaped mole at the corner of her eye.

Although Su Jinqing was soft in character, she didn’t like to cry. The tear-shaped mole was like a peach blossom petal falling on the lake, embellishing her smile.

“Jinqing …” She looked up at the billboard hanged on the building and murmured softly, “Where on earth have you been?”

Suddenly, there was a scandalous shrill vice which called her name desperately. She then tore off her gaze from her sister’s face on the billboard.

“Sister Su! Sister Su!” Xiao Xia waved her hands in front of her.
