Chapter 277: Zhu Zion Game Ad
After Da Tian Tian became a hit, various investors and film companies came to her, inviting her to appear in film and TV dramas, with so many scripts to choose from that she was dazzled. Endorsements and commercial activities were also plentiful.
Jing Tian initially felt a bit unadjusted, but soon she calmed her mood and threw herself into work.
That day, as the assistant reported her schedule, Jing Tian suddenly heard: China Film Digital Base, filming the Zhu Zion ad.
"Are we going to film Zhu Zion?" Da Tian Tian's expression was stunned.
The assistant was even more bewildered: "Wasn't this decided long ago? What do you mean by that expression!"
"Well, the Zhu Zion online game from Director Jiang's game company is set to launch next month, so this ad can't be postponed!"
"I know, will he go?"
"Ah!"
The assistant felt a bit dazed, always sensing that Jing Tian had been acting strange lately, yet couldn't pinpoint what was odd.
Suddenly she realized: this was after parting ways with Mr. Jiang Heng; before, she used to barge straight into his office!
Thinking of this, she grew even more nervous.
Although many film and TV projects have come knocking lately, none can compare to Director Jiang's works, right!
Moreover, your acting has improved only slightly, and that's all thanks to Jiang Heng repeatedly coaching you!
Thinking this, she couldn't help but press her hands on Jing Tian's shoulders and sternly said: "Tell me, sis, what exactly happened?"
"Nothing at all!" Da Tian Tian said nonchalantly, her eyes unconsciously dodging.
"Do you like someone else?"
"No!"
"Then it must be that he likes someone else!"
Jing Tian didn't answer, lightly sniffing.
The assistant sister's eyes full of wisdom: "Is it Liu Yifei, right?"
Jing Tian didn't refute, glanced aside, and suddenly said: "Actually, at first it was Xi Xi who liked him, and I even gave her advice!"
The assistant said: "So what? Feelings like this have no reasoning."
Jing Tian lowered her head, not knowing what to say.
The assistant asked: "How far have they gotten?"
Jing Tian first shook her head, then immediately said: "They should be together by now!"
Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, the assistant actually laughed.
Jing Tian was puzzled, wearing an expression of incomprehension—"They are together, after all, together!"
The assistant sister said: "Before, because you were young, I rarely told you the inside scoop, but actually, a big director and a female star being together is nothing at all!"
Upon hearing this, Da Tian Tian's eyes widened: "Being together—isn't that serious?"
The assistant sister laughed: "What's that? Even if they got married, plenty of couples divorce!"
"But?"
"There's no 'but'; in the entertainment industry, male-female relationships aren't a big deal, marriage isn't much either—many celebrity couples actually just do their own thing!"
Hearing this, Da Tian Tian's eyes widened even more, her face full of disbelief.
Seeing this, the assistant sister first gave her a few tales of "abandoning wife and children," then talked about several unrestrained female stars, making Da Tian Tian go "amazed" three times in a row.
"Is that so?"
"That's just how it is; the entertainment industry is a fame-and-fortune market, you can't measure it with ordinary people's feelings and marriage values. My thought is, you don't need to worry too much about that—just face it normally. If you find you don't like someone, go find someone else. If you still can't let go, just bravely express it!"
"Ah, how can that be? That's not...!"
The assistant sister laughed: "He isn't even married, so what's the fuss? Even if they married, it's no guarantee of a lifetime together. Don't cling to eternity; as long as you once had it...!"
The assistant sister gave Da Tian Tian a brainwashing-style lecture, leaving her feeling dazed.
Although it didn't immediately change her mind, there was one point Jing Tian agreed with: facing things normally, interacting normally.
Who knows what will happen in the future!
The next morning, Jing Tian, together with her assistant, driver, and others, headed to China Film Digital Base, where she indeed saw Jiang Heng, Tang Yan, and several supporting actors from the Zhu Zion film.
Generally speaking, nowadays game ads are crude in style and low in quality, usually made by small companies.
However, the quality of the Zhu Zion online game ad is obviously not on the same level as those.
The three leads of the Zhu Zion film gathered: Jiang Heng playing Zhang Xiaofan, Tang Yan playing Lu Xueqi, and Jing Tian playing Bi Yao.
The ad's director was Guo Fan, who had invested under Jiang Heng.
This lineup can be said to instantly outshine all other domestic game ads.
"Director Jiang, everyone's here!" Guo Fan walked over and said softly.
"Hmm, let's do makeup first!"
He then turned to the just-arrived Jing Tian and asked: "How have you been feeling lately?"
Upon hearing this, Da Tian Tian inexplicably felt a bit nervous: "Well, I'm fine, gradually getting used to it!"
Jiang Heng laughed heartily: "Everyone goes through this process!"
Having said that, he went first into the makeup room, while the others lined up for makeup.
Da Tian Tian clenched her fists, calmed her slightly excited heart, and silently told herself: "Stay calm, stay calm!" Then she entered the makeup room.
Although it's just a small game ad crew, the makeup rooms are still separated by gender.
Jing Tian and Tang Yan shared one; after entering and sitting in a chair, she asked Tang Yan how he's been lately.
Tang Yan mentioned his recent schedule, then congratulated Jing Tian on her fame.
"Ah, actually I don't care about these things!" Da Tian Tian said in a humblebrag.
Tang Yan laughed: "Don't talk like that, it'll get you slapped. Do you know how many female stars in the circle envy you? They say you must have secretly hooked up with Director Jiang, otherwise why would you get the good roles in both big dramas? Speaking of which, I've been with Love Outstanding Rising Film Company these years and never got such treatment!"
Hearing this, Jing Tian's mind was shaken.
She knows very well how her own acting skills are.
She feels she can't act; it's all Jiang Heng teaching her, and he gave her two roles that could make someone a hit.
Others would find it hard to get even one, but she got two in a year!
Even Liu Yifei couldn't compare to her, Da Tian Tian thought to herself.
She no longer holds as many grudges against Jiang Heng.
"He's still good to me, it's just a pity..."
Da Tian Tian's mind wandered, chatting off and on with Tang Yan; once makeup was done, the ad shoot officially began.
Guo Fan instructed everyone on positioning and performance; Jiang Heng, like the other actors, just listened to directions.
"Director Jiang, Miss Jing Tian, this scene has Zhang Xiaofan embracing Bi Yao, the two gazing lovingly at each other—you know that, right?"
"I understand!"
"Then that's good!"
Guo Fan immediately returned to the director's seat, sat behind the monitor, and watched Zhang Xiaofan and Bi Yao gazing lovingly at each other on screen.
He couldn't help but think, Jing Tian's acting is actually not bad, not as rumored... Wait a moment, my goodness, what did I just see?
Jiang Heng also froze, because Guo Fan's original ad script included a kiss scene.
Mainly because the movie version had too few sweet scenes of Zhang Xiaofan and Bi Yao, many fans felt it was a pity.
If we could make up for it in the ad, it could also comfort the many Bi Yao fans.
However, Jiang Heng cut it out when he reviewed the script.
Who would have thought that during filming, Da Tian Tian would launch a sneak attack.
