Rise and Slay: From Scandal Queen to Academic Genius - Chapter 212 - 193: Has He Been Brainwashed?

Chapter 212: Chapter 193: Has He Been Brainwashed?

Fan Ci’s magazine shoot was delayed by a few more days in the end.

This time, no matter what, Fan Ci didn’t dare not to attend. He cleared his schedule, arrived at the studio early, and personally greeted Ji Xizhi.

Ji Xizhi’s nanny car just pulled up to the entrance, and the door just opened.

Fan Ci’s first words were: “I apologize for last time, I really didn’t expect that, ah~”

Fan Ci looked weathered and his eyes towards Ji Xizhi were filled with unstoppable guilt.

Ji Xizhi wasn’t bothered, she softly said, “It’s okay, Director Fan, you don’t need to apologize.”

Fan Ci assumed that Ji Xizhi found it hard to blame him, feeling even more guilty, he was just short of saying: “It’s all my fault, it’s me…”

Ji Xizhi’s expression was serious: “Really, it’s fine, he was the one who broke the law, not you.”

Fan Ci was stunned: “…” Okay, it seemed Ji Xizhi really didn’t blame him.

Fan Ci couldn’t help but chuckle, and he led Ji Xizhi into the studio.

The photographer for the renewed collaboration was personally chosen by Fan Ci, someone he’d worked with before, who had a bit of a name in the entertainment circle, with good skills and reliability.

Once Ji Xizhi finished makeup, she directly entered the shoot.

However, because the photo studio was booked in advance and Fan Ci’s previous shoot was postponed, today’s session was added at the last minute. Currently, other teams were waiting to shoot.

While Ji Xizhi was shooting inside, the other teams waited outside.

In a shoot, most of the movement adjustments between artists and the photographer were directed by the photographer.

In other studios, the shoot was generally dominated by the photographer’s instructions:

“Come on, change the pose, hold it, don’t move!”

“This side’s a bit stiff, relax a bit more!”

At the entrance of Ji Xizhi’s studio, all you could hear was:

“Teacher, are you tired? Do you want a sip of water? How about a snack?”

“Teacher, could you kindly lift your chin a bit? Ah, ah, wait, if you don’t like it, then forget it, I’m okay with it!”

“Teacher, feel free, I can work with anything! I can adjust myself, I can take great photos!!!”

The teams waiting in line were bewildered, is the competition in the photography industry this intense now? Has it reached the point where photographers proactively take the blame for poor shots?

He felt like he had entered a tumble dryer and curiously asked a nearby staff member.

“Who’s this big shot inside?? So impressive…”

The staff remained unfazed, “This is the deity of our photo studio.”

The waiting team: “?” What the heck.

Staff: “Inside, it’s Ji Xizhi.”

Waiting team: “… Got it! It’s her!”

–

Today’s shoot was very smooth for Ji Xizhi, the photographer was polite, and Fan Ci stood beside without daring to blink.

Almost treating Ji Xizhi like a Bodhisattva.

The photographer had already heard about Ji Xizhi’s two incidents of reporting certain photographers, so before he came, he had already prepared, no matter what Ji Xizhi said or did, he would endure, even if the shoot didn’t go well, he wouldn’t say a word about Ji Xizhi’s issues on the spot, absolutely not to offend Ji Xizhi.

After arriving, as soon as Ji Xizhi came out of the dressing room, his camera just focused on Ji Xizhi’s beautifully stunning face.

Photographer: Damn! Facing this face, if the shots don’t turn out well, it definitely has to be his own issue!

A fairy can’t possibly have any problems!!!

The photographer’s blood was boiling, like he’d discovered a treasure, clicking the shutter non-stop.

All the initial thoughts about enduring and holding back vanished at this moment.

The only thought in his mind now was.

He would surely become famous in the circle with this magazine cover.

Thankful to the previous photographer for breaking the law, for giving him this opportunity! Immense gratitude!

After three sets of photos were taken, Ji Xizhi didn’t even take a break, and as the photographer was shooting passionately, Ji Xizhi cooperated accordingly.

When the shooting was finished, the photographer then realized he had occupied all the break time.

Photographer, apologetically: “Teacher Ji, I’m sorry, I got so carried away I forgot about the breaks…”

If it were any other artist, standing and shooting for so long, even if they didn’t say anything, they’d likely feel a bit unhappy inside.

But Ji Xizhi was different.

Ji Xizhi looked at the photographer with eyes full of appreciation and praised: “No worries, you’re very dedicated!”

Photographer: “?!?!”

A fairy praised him!!!

The photographer blushed: “Thank you, Teacher Ji!!! I hope there will be another chance to work with Teacher Ji!”

Ji Xizhi also nodded, “Sure, I hope so too.”

After removing makeup, when leaving the studio.

Originally, Fan Ci was supposed to see Ji Xizhi off, generally, the main photographer doesn’t have much interaction with the artist, the top photographers in the circle aren’t any lesser than the artist’s standing, some who are stubborn even need top-tier artists to coax them to agree to shoot.

But this time when Fan Ci was seeing Ji Xizhi off, the photographer tagged along cheerfully.

Moreover, the attitude of the photographer towards Ji Xizhi was even more enthusiastic than Fan Ci’s.

“Teacher Ji! Take your time on the road, let us know when you get home safely!”

“I filled your thermos with water, drink it on the road!”

The peers waiting to enter the studio watched the photographer, who was somewhat famous in the circle, act deferential towards Ji Xizhi, they empathized strongly, already starting to feel angry.

Is this necessary? Ji Xizhi is really throwing her weight around! Even if Ji Xizhi reported a bunch of photographers, they didn’t break the law, it’s not to the extent that you need to pamper the artist like this! It’s supposed to be a cooperative relationship!

Watching Ji Xizhi’s nanny car drive away, a few people walked straight up to the photographer responsible for Ji Xizhi and said: “Brother, this job of yours is too hard, it’s really unnecessary!”

The photographer was still reluctantly looking at Ji Xizhi’s car as it disappeared, didn’t really hear what the others were saying, just nodded in agreement: “Yes, it’s too hard, how in the world could there be such a fairy, too hard to come across!”

The peers: “…?” Has he been brainwashed?!

Fan Ci, who witnessed the whole process: “.”

Ji Xizhi had a bit (a lot) of likeable genes in her.
