Chapter 218: Chapter 199: Lacking Acting Skills, Overflowing Capability!
Since Ji Xizhi became a sensation, the trending searches have been filled with news about her skyrocketing fame and her incredible abilities.
But now, suddenly, thereās a point saying Ji Xizhi canāt do it.
Of course they have to nail down this black mark.
The artist who just cut to a small account to reply to the auditioning talents had just finished sending a message when they suddenly saw a wave of mocking comments flooding in. She was stunned.
She was clearly just playing a joke, intending to praise Ji Xizhi for her humility! How could it be interpreted like this!
Ji Xizhi isnāt acting because she feels sheās not up to the acting standard, but Director Jin, the producers, the screenwriters, and those over a hundred auditioning artists donāt think so!
In the entertainment circle, there are loads of people whose acting skills arenāt up to par. If a director notices you, itās like a pie falling from the sky. Who would give that pie away because of insufficient acting skills? Only Ji Xizhi would seriously assess and evaluate her own acting skills.
Moreover, Ji Xizhi is clearly being modest. Itās the same as a top student coming out of an exam saying, āI didnāt do well this time.ā If Ji Xizhiās acting wasnāt good, could she blow up a variety show?
The auditioning artist was well aware that even though she wasnāt familiar with Ji Xizhi, after the audition, she went to search for all of Ji Xizhiās variety show videos. Now, she has a mysterious confidence in Ji Xizhi, convincing herself that thereās no way Ji Xizhi canāt do it! She definitely can! When she says she canāt, itās definitely the kind of canāt where she didnāt score 200, while normal people score 100, and she scores 199.
The auditioning artist rushed into the battlefield of black fans and began frantically explaining.
During the chaos, Ji Xizhi was eating at a small restaurant.
Before eating, everyone in the crew had already seen the news online, so inevitably, during the meal, some paid attention to Weibo.
The mocking rhetoric from the haters quickly made its way to the dining table, leaving several crew members feeling secretly frustrated.
The marketing and promotion department was the first to notice something was wrong, āA huge batch of bot accounts, copy-pasting, the language is all pretty similar.ā
Shanli pouted angrily, āMock this, mock that, anyway, these netizens know everything! Why donāt they donate a performing arts department to Qing University!ā
Director Jin initially wanted to use Ji Xizhi for hype, just to pique curiosity about Ji Xizhiās role, after all, no one would expect her to be a legal advisor.
Now that the narrative has shifted, Director Jin feels somewhat apologetic.
After all, Ji Xizhi is neither the lead actress in the crew nor any other role that needs to appear on camera. Technically, sheās behind the scenes and doesnāt need to be involved in marketing or promotion.
Director Jin looked at Ji Xizhi with some remorse.
As she turned her eyes to Ji Xizhi, she noticed Ji Xizhi was calmly and attentively eating, seemingly not paying any attention to the Weibo trending topics.
Ji Xizhi is good-looking, and her composed eating manner showed her seriousness towards food.
Director Jin was about to speak but suddenly held back: āā¦?ā
She wanted to ask if Ji Xizhi cared about the comments on Weibo, but on second thought, there was no need to ask.
At the dining table, Director Jin didnāt speak up, the main subject Ji Xizhi was eating, and the other people soon put down their phones as well.
When the meal was over and everyone was chatting leisurely, Shanli cautiously approached Ji Xizhi.
āNo, Zhi Zhi, about that Weibo stuff, why donāt I help you clarify!ā
Shanli couldnāt stomach it any longer.
Looking at the phone Shanli handed over, Ji Xizhi noticed the latest comments under Shanliās Weibo, where netizens were continuing to diss her.
Ji Xizhi frowned slightly.
Shanli thought Ji Xizhi was angry after seeing those ridiculous comments and was about to offer comforting words.
When Ji Xizhi pulled out her phone from her pocket and opened Weibo, she saw Shanliās latest post and the comments below it.
Shanli: āAre you going to respond directly in my comment section? Wouldnāt that beā¦ā not conspicuous enough?
Before Shanli could finish speaking, Ji Xizhi pointed her finger to the bottom comment on the first page.
It was from a Weibo ID of a knowledge enthusiast.
Zhi Zhi Analysis posted: Shanli, are you sure Zhi Zhi really isnāt playing the leading role? So, whatās she playing, come on, tell us something!
There were also a few mocking black fan comments underneath.
Ji Xizhi typed a response under this comment.
Reply //Ji XizhiV: Not playing any role at the moment, currently serving as the legal advisor for the crew of āRival in Love.ā If you want to know anything else in the future, you can ask Xiao Yuan or leave me a message.
The intellectuals had already seen the trending topics, but the entertainment industryās matters, like artist collaborations and other things, are very complicated, especially since the crewās recent official announcement didnāt mention Ji Xizhiās role.
The intellectuals didnāt take the initiative to ask Ji Xizhi because they knew that if they asked, Ji Xizhi would tell, but once she did, no one knew if it would trouble Zhi Zhi with the crew. They didnāt have much hope when they asked Shanli either.
But unexpectedly, Ji Xizhi personally came to respond.
[Meow meow meow? Is this Ji Xizhi herself? Damn!]
[In the future, ask Xiao Yuan or leave a message for her. This sentence is so pampering. When will Ji Xizhiās fan group let me in? Iāll go brush up on two sets of questions, and I can definitely get in! (Self-encouragement!)]
[Wow, I thought it would be a special guest role like a court clerk or something. Legal consultant? Thatās even closer than the female lead! Legal consultant FTW!]
[So Ji Xizhi doesnāt need to act at all? Those who just mocked her acting, theyāre just talking nonsense, laughable!]
One reply from Ji Xizhi directly blew up Shanliās comment section.
Shanli was also stunned.
When Ji Xizhi was about to reply, she thought Ji Xizhi was going to counter the black fans, but who would have thought Ji Xizhi only had her eyes on her fans.
Shanli starry-eyed:ā¦ A bit handsome!
After Ji Xizhi replied, the intellectuals acted as if they were pumped with adrenaline, overflowing with fighting spirit.
Seeing the black fans trying to stir the pot, they were unfazed.
[Disperse now, there are quite a few Iāve been practicing with lately. If you want to line up, go ahead! Anyway, I have all the evidence saved. Iām not in a hurry, so wait for me to be in a good mood someday and pick it out!]
[This is the first time Iāve heard of someone being mocked for their acting when they didnāt even act. Come on, turn on the camera, let me see what superpower you have to do everything?]
[Tsk tsk, sisters donāt rush. Let me first check the source, itās quite strange.]
The black fans had been silent for a long time, finally catching a point, they didnāt care about anything else. All they thought was, even if Ji Xizhi didnāt play the female lead, thereās still the second or third female roles. As long as she acts, they can mock her.
But how could she join the cast without acting???
What legal consultant? Havenāt heard of this role in other crews!
The memory of black fans being chased by Ji Xizhiās fans resurfaced, triggering a reflex to delete accounts and disconnect from the internet.
ā
The official account of āRival in Loveā also announced their collaboration with Ji Xizhi.
Rival in Love official account: It seems everyone is very interested in our crewās legal consultant! Fellow student Ji has been specially hired as the crewās legal consultant to guide legal matters during the filming process. We hope āRival in Loveā can bring everyone a better viewing experience. If you have any questions, feel free to reply below~
A sweet workplace web drama like āRival in Loveā has had many instances of filming and airing before, full of criticisms, with many people saying it fools the audience. Director Jin is a person of principles and respects the audience, so he specifically added this position to the recruitment section.
Even the staff responsible for recruitment in the crew didnāt hold much hope. This position wasnāt noticeable, the pay was low, and the work was quite tedious. No one expected that one recruitment ad would directly attract the hot celebrity Ji Xizhi, also the female lead preferred by Director Jin.
[Great! The crew even has a legal consultant, love it. I donāt want to watch those dramas that fool me and grind my intelligence on the ground, smile~]
[I have only one request, more behind-the-scenes clips of Ji Xizhi, I beg you~]
[Thatās good, doing the job youāre capable of. Ji Xizhi: the most clear-headed and rational person in the entertainment industry. Iām starting to love her more and more!]
[Not to argue, but should Ji Xizhi be a legal consultant? Shouldnāt they hire a working lawyer whoās more experienced? Ji Xizhi doesnāt even have a legal professional qualification certificate! The crew uses this gimmick for hype, itās pointless.]
[@Person above, what a coincidence, Director Jin posted on Weibo, saying the crew isnāt using this for hype and Ji Xizhi didnāt get in through the back door, purely based on her resume ha!]
Next to the official account, Director Jinās personal Weibo also updated a post.
Director Jin greeted Ji Xizhi and casually released the job application resume Ji Xizhi had previously sent to her email.
Director Jin: I believe anyone who sees this resume would not refuse to work with Ji Xizhi. Of course, if thereās an opportunity, I look forward to her learning and breaking through in her acting skills.
Ji Xizhiās job application resume left Director Jin stunned, with several long screenshots, forming a nine-square grid stance.
Netizens eating melons: ???
This job application resume is even more serious than the one prepared by the auditioning female leads next door!
Self-introduction, personal resume, video introduction, analysis of the original workā¦ Ji Xizhiās acting skills may not be there, but her competence is off the charts!
#Ji Xizhi appointed crew legal consultant# is spiraling up the trending charts.
[ā¦ā¦May I ask, which lawyer can do what Ji Xizhi has done, analyzing the original work so thoroughly? Who else?]
[Is the hidden meaning in Director Jinās last sentence that he wants to pick Ji Xizhi as the female lead, but Ji Xizhi wants to be a legal consultant?]
[Yes, the words ājob applicationā are really huge haha!]
