Rise and Slay: From Scandal Queen to Academic Genius - Chapter 337 - 315: Ji Xizhi Knows How to Recruit Talent
Chapter 337: Chapter 315: Ji Xizhi Knows How to Recruit Talent
As soon as Zhong Yulu finished speaking, Ji Xizhi appeared at the door.
This time, Zhong Yulu only spoke after seeing Ji Xizhi’s figure return; she wanted Ji Xizhi to hear her words.
Indeed, Ji Xizhi heard it, clearly.
However, there wasn’t any noticeable change of emotion on her face.
On the contrary, Meng Tu, who followed Ji Xizhi in, immediately heard Zhong Yulu’s words directed at Ji Xizhi.
Meng Tu was initially surprised and then turned to look at Ji Xizhi.
Seeing that Ji Xizhi was neither angry nor intended to speak, Meng Tu simply raised her hand proactively.
“Um, good evening everyone. Regarding scriptwriting, I majored in screenwriting, graduated with a master’s degree from XX Film Academy this year. You can check this on the online Educational Information Website! Three of the scripts I’ve worked on have already been broadcasted. If Zhi Zhi wants to write a script, I can help~”
When Meng Tu and Ji Xizhi entered the room, she was a couple of steps behind Ji Xizhi.
Therefore, the program’s guests initially didn’t notice Meng Tu until she began to introduce herself, only then did everyone see that Ji Xizhi had brought someone back after answering a phone call.
Most of the other guests hadn’t heard of the name Meng Tu before.
Only Le Qiqi squinted slightly, stood up, and said uncertainly: “Meng Tu? This name sounds familiar… Are you the head screenwriter of the Love Begins Here crew?!!!”
Everyone knew about Ji Xizhi’s acting as an extra in “Life Experience” in the afternoon; however, “Love Begins Here” was too obscure, and not many people had heard of the show, let alone the screenwriter.
Sheng Yaoyao was quite surprised that Le Qiqi could recognize the person: “How do you know?”
Le Qiqi didn’t hold back: “I sent a message to my brother in the evening, asking whether there’s any investment opportunity in this crew, and he sent me some basic information. I glanced at it, intending to talk to Director Guan tonight.”
[??? I don’t even know what to be shocked about first: is Meng Tu a hidden elite from the Film Academy, or is the young lady going to invest already?]
[No matter which one, I just want to say, Ji Xizhi’s eye for talent easily surpasses Uncle Wang’s position!]
[Ji Xizhi knows how to dig for talent; since Director Wang wouldn’t provide a screenwriter, she snatched one from the neighboring crew! Director Guan wakes up to find: my head screenwriter was taken away by an extra?!]
[No disrespect intended, but I truly didn’t expect the screenwriter from the “Love Begins Here” crew to be this impressive? Now I’m somewhat looking forward to this light-hearted drama~]
[The young lady is indeed remarkable; thinking of investing so quickly — it’s no wonder she’s wealthy, sob sob!]
[Thank you all for your attention to our little-known drama, sob sob. We must film it well and not disappoint everyone. I’m in the crew, can’t reveal my identity, but truly everyone is dedicated; there’s no drastic rewrite of the plot. Teacher Ji Xizhi even offered us invaluable advice — not to speak in detail — but let’s just say, she’s the salvation of the second male lead!]
[The salvation of the second male lead? Darn, could Ji Xizhi have a romantic storyline with the second male lead? Rubbing hands with excitement!]
[I hold grudges, I asked first, who just said Ji Xizhi couldn’t write a script? Now that Meng Tu is here, it’s settled, right? She’s well-trained, a sure knockout!]
Not just the live stream fans were astonished.
Even the guests on-site, including Meng Tu, were a bit surprised.
The main concern of the “Life Experience” guests was how Ji Xizhi, while acting as an extra, managed to take away the head screenwriter from the neighboring crew.
This… would the other director agree?
Zhu Xiu’an stood out from the rest; upon hearing the whole conversation, his attention was drawn only to Le Qiqi mentioning investment, and he immediately banged the table.
“Investing and you didn’t call me? Planning to enjoy alone, huh?!”
Le Qiqi glanced at him: “Are you saying you want to compete with me?”
Zhu Xiu’an’s energy didn’t diminish: “I’m investing a million shares!”
Le Qiqi: “…Alright then.”
Fang Zhuyue: “Can I also put in a little bit?”
You Yingmeng: “Me too…”
Meng Tu thought her biggest gain from coming to “Life Experience” tonight would be networking, but never expected investment to be the most significant.
During the day, with Ji Xizhi’s wave of popularity, Director Guan indeed didn’t lack investments, but Le Qiqi! That’s investment from the Le family!
Even with Ji Xizhi’s popularity, it would be tough to attract such a substantial investment.
Meng Tu was thoroughly dazed, looking at Ji Xizhi as if she were a money god.
Ji Xizhi, not having known in advance about Le Qiqi’s plan to invest: “…”
She truly didn’t know and hadn’t considered it.
But seeing Meng Tu’s gaze and Le Qiqi’s attitude, Ji Xizhi pondered for a moment and decided to invest a part herself.
The guests noisily pushed the investment matter forward.
Only then did Sheng Yaoyao step forward and actively greet Meng Tu: “Hello, I’m Sheng Yaoyao.”
Then, the other guests stepped forward to greet Meng Tu one by one.
Meng Tu nodded repeatedly: “Hello everyone, hello everyone. Joining your script discussion meeting abruptly, is it inconvenient?”
Fang Zhuyue and You Yingmeng almost answered simultaneously: “Not at all!”
Ji Xizhi had recruited someone from the neighboring crew, who was a trained screenwriter, precisely what they needed most, leaving no room for inconvenience.
Zhu Xiu’an couldn’t help but clap his hands, swaggering up to Meng Tu:
“Teacher Meng, you’re timely. I’m about to invest; from now on, we’re partners. With this bond, quickly help me see if my three scripts are outstanding! Are they more interesting than theirs? Are they…”
Meng Tu vaguely heard some keywords of Zhu Xiu’an’s discussion while standing at the door.
Upon seeing the title, just as expected!
Meng Tu’s lips curved into a polite, graceful smile: “Outstanding enough, just a bit too outstanding. Maybe you should submit first to the fictional site Fiction Point! Climb up the rankings, then everyone should rush to purchase movie copyrights, aiming for a big production, and make it big in theaters!”
Zhu Xiu’an: “!!!”
“Really? How do you register? How do you get on the chart???”
Meng Tu smoothly opened up a registration page for Zhu Xiu’an, finally quieting him down for the moment.
After painting a grand picture for Zhu Xiu’an, Meng Tu gave sharp critiques on Fang Zhuyue, You Yingmeng, and Zhong Yulu’s directions.
Her expertise demonstrated her true character.
In the core area, she was confident and vibrant, possessing unique insights and extraordinary abilities.
Different from Zhu Xiu’an’s disruptive script discussion, now it felt genuinely on track.
Meng Tu proactively helped everyone streamline the main storyline, leading them to explore new ideas.
She could significantly stimulate the guests’ thoughts, and the discussions gradually grew louder.
Ji Xizhi sat quietly to the side, just watching peacefully.
In contrast to those around, whose faces were flushed with intense discussions, Ji Xizhi was almost like being frozen in place.
The live stream viewers’ focus initially was on the guests discussing the plot, then gradually got captivated by Ji Xizhi’s appearance.
[I don’t know why, but now when I look at Ji Xizhi, only one lyric comes to mind, only you~~~~]
