Shortly after the New Year, Guan Zhiyi joined the "Dawn and the Wild" cast.
The day she joined the group coincided with the fourth broadcast of "Get Out, Fat!, During the first three episodes of the show, the variety show lived up to its reputation for being the hottest variety show these days.
When the first episode aired, most of the netizens watched it for Xiao Ran, Lin Jiaer and others, but in the later episodes, a large part of people went to watch it because of Guan Zhiyi.
How to say it, Guan Zhiyi, this person, an entertainment blogger wrote a paragraph on Weibo that was well received by netizens:
She looked silly, cute and funny, but in fact, the inside doesn't match her appearance. The girl's life ability is bursting, she has an excellent cooking skill, and her way to solve things is also decisive. If Hou Lu and Huang Xiao's laughing point are all about the coincidence of comedians, then Guan Zhiyi laughing point is inexplicable, She is not really funny, nor is she deliberately trying to be funny, but she looked comical, her serious face when bargaining for grocery are very funny. In short, her little round face is so popular with the audience.........
_________
Guan Zhiyi popularity has grown rapidly because of the variety shows, and the number of her followers on Weibo has also doubled several times. However, in the midst of all the words [cute] and [fun], there are still some people who talk about her past works.
But what they are saying is true, all the dramas she has done in the past few years are indeed not satisfactory. So the only thing she can do now is to play the role of Zhaoyang well. If an actor doesn't have any representative work, there's nothing to say when being scolded.
Guan Zhiyi scenes were not a big part of "Dawn and the Wild" so she did not start filming early. Before she entered the group, the main actors Li Xuan, Xiao Ran, Zhao Mingming and others had already started filming first. Zhao Mingming played the role that Zheng Yitong wanted before. Her acting skills have always been appreciated by everyone, and no one had a problem with her replacing Zheng Yitong.
Guan Zhiyi was not familiar with everyone in this crew except Xiao Ran, who has recorded a variety show together before, so most of the time, she spent it quietly reading the script in the corner.
A week after she was filming in the group, Liu Yun brought her an unexpected news.
"What, the boss has changed?" Guan Zhiyi was so shocked that she forgot to eat her lunch box.
Liu Yun said, "What, you really don't know anything about it? I thought Qi Chengyan would reveal something to you."
Liu Yun was still trapped in the illusion that Qi Chengyan is chasing her...
Guan Zhiyi said: "He won't tell me this."
"That's OK, I'll tell you just the same. Actually, I knew this news earlier, a day before the contract was signed, but we are not allowed to disclose it."Liu Yun explained."Qi acquired Yixing, and Yixing is their first board to enter show business in the future."
"Is it true ......"
"Why do you think Qi Chengyan invested in "Dawn and the Wild" earlier, isn't it because this ip was bought by Yixing."
Guan Zhiyi still had difficulty digesting it, she knows that he must have his reasons for doing this. However, all she wanted to do now was to stay away from him, but he has suddenly become her boss…
"All right you don't have to think about it, it's good for both of us anyway. With Qi's strong financial backing, our Yixing will only be better."
"Okay......"
This kind of boss change is really not something that she and the artists under their company can participate in. Although Guan Zhiyi was shocked, she didn't ask much afterwards, and just focused on the filming.
A month after joining the group, Guan Zhiyi was about to start filming her main scene.
This scene is when Xiao Ran who played as General Shen Sibo, was sent back after his death during war. In his funeral house, Princess Zhaoyang walked out of the palace in a white dress and confessed to tears in front of Shen Sibo's coffin.
This was the biggest turning point in Zhaoyang's life. She was lively and lovely in the early stage, she was also the pistachio** of everyone, especially Shen Sibo. In the later period, after Shen Sibo's death, numerous mysteries appeared, Zhaoyang's heart was ashened, and her personality changed dramatically.
(**cheerful or humorous persons who always make other people happy.)
Guan Zhiyi remembered that in the past when she read the novel and saw the line "Shen Sibo died and Zhaoyang crying" She burst into tears and didn't get over it for a whole week after reading.
So to perform the effect like the novel did, was also a huge challenge for her.
Today the filming for this scene started. The shoot was in the afternoon, so Guan Zhiyi spent the entire morning in low pressure.
During lunch time, the studio started to get noisy. Guan Zhiyi glanced at the crowded place from a distance, and saw a lot of outsiders coming in carrying food.
Probably someone came to visit the set?
But her mind was tied to the afternoon scene, so she didn't care much about it. She just stayed in the lounge beside the set to brew her emotions.
Not far away, several other actors and directors were gathered together, greeting the same man.
"President Qi, I didn't expect you to come today, why didn't you say anything in advance." The director said.
"I didn't want to disturb everyone, just come by to have a look."
The visitor was Qi Chengyan. He came today, mostly because Xiao Ran had invited him to the set the other day, and he also thought that this was a shoot that Guan Zhiyi valued very much, so he came to see how she was doing here.
However, it seemed that he didn't see her anywhere.
"You just came here, and brought so much food, not bad for a boss." Xiao Ran joked, "Eh, is there anything I like best to eat?"
Qi Chengyan glanced at him: "What do you like to eat?"
Xiao Yan exploded: "Just two days ago I told you that I wanted to eat Huang Tong Lou's meal!"
"Yeah, I forgot."
"Tsk ......"
"Alright, Xiao Ran, some of the food is good, yet you still pick on it." Li Xuan, who played the emperor, smiled.
Xiao Ran: "Yes, yes, it's my fault, I'm starving to death, let's have a meal."
"OK."
The director said: "President Qi, come here to eat."
"No, you guys eat, I'll walk around."
The actors would all eat in the same lounge, and when everyone was walking together towards the lounge, Qi Chengyan pulled Xiao Ran, "Where is she?"
"You meant Zhiyi ah." Xiao Ran looked around and pointed to a distance, "That one, the one in the goose yellow dress, is probably sitting there waiting for the meal."
Qi Chengyan also saw her from afar, "Then I'll go with you guys."
"Okay."
The people Qi Chengyan brought with him had already set up the food and drinks, and the actors and crew were so excited that they had already picked up their chopsticks and were getting ready to eat. But just after a few bites, they saw Qi Chengyan coming their way. To say the least, the man in front of them was not very old, but after all, he was their biggest financial benefactor, so it was inevitable that they would be a little cautious in front of him.
But even when being cautious, their eyes are still secretly following him.
They have heard that this young president of Qi was handsome. It is true that he will not be inferior in front of Xiao Ran, the hottest traffic celebrity these days, but rather he has an indescribable calm temperament.
"Let's eat some together." Li Xuan greeted when he came over.
"It's okay, you can just eat by yourself." After saying that, Qi Chengyan's eyes fell on the person in a small corner a few meters away. That person didn't go to see the food and she did not even notice that he came. She only looked a bit sad, but he didn't know what was on her mind.
Not feeling well?
_______
Guan Zhiyi actually noticed the food, but she didn't move for a while, probably because she was too stressed, and had no motivation to eat now.
"Zhiyi, why don't you eat it?" At this moment, Zhao Mingming, who played the role of the queen, sat next to her. Zhao Mingming and Guan Zhiyi have a lot of rivalry scenes, so they have become a lot more familiar with each other these days.
Guan Zhiyi: "I'm not too hungry."
Zhao Mingming understood, "Is it because of the afternoon scene?"
Guan Zhiyi was a little embarrassed to be seen through.
Zhao Mingming said, "Although this scene is heavy, I believe that you can do it. Relax."
"Um……"
"Come on, let's eat some first." Zhao Mingming joked, "Gold Master father** send it, and it tastes good."
"The gold master father?"
(**Sugar daddy)
Zhao Mingming nodded, leaning against her and whispered: "He seems to be a good friend of Xiao Ran, just that...you see, he looks really handsome, not the same as the bosses in my mind haha ."
Zhao Mingming was just making a small talk with Guan Zhiyi, but what she didn't expect was that Qi Chengyan walked towards them as soon as she finished speaking.
Zhao Mingming froze for a moment: "I, do I speak very loudly?"
Zhao Mingming was shocked, and the others were also shocked. They watched Qi Chengyan walk towards Guan Zhiyi and Zhao Mingming. When they saw him standing in front of the table, their first thought was that Qi Chengyan seemed to know their little queen.
They didn't put their thoughts on Guan Zhiyi at all, because in their eyes Guan Zhiyi was just a little actor who had become a little popular recently, and Zhao Mingming, a first-line actress, was of course more likely to win the attention of the boss.
There was nothing on everyone's expression, but their heart was already burning with gossip.
"Why don't you eat?" Qi Chengyan stood there and asked.
Zhao Mingming looked up at him. After a long time of fright, she suddenly realized that this person was not talking to her at all.
She slowly turned her head to look at Guan Zhiyi who had frozen beside her......
"Are you not feeling well?" Qi Chengyan asked.
Only then did Guan Zhiyi come back to her senses: "How do you….?"
"Visiting the set."
"Oh ......"
Qi Chengyan repeated again, "Are you not feeling well?"
"No." Guan Zhiyi was embarrassed, "I just don't have any appetite today."
"Then what do you want to eat, I'll let someone buy it."
Guan Zhiyi saw in the aftershock that everyone was looking in this direction, hurriedly said, "No, I'll just eat this, I'll eat a little bit."
"Mm." Seeing that she was willing to take the chopsticks, Qi Chengyan didn't say anything else and directly sat down beside her.
Zhao Mingming's gaze turned between the two, then stood up silently: "...Zhiyi, I'll go to get some fruit to eat."
"Okay."
Zhao Mingming felt that she knew something extraordinary and hurriedly left first.
After she left, there were only the two of them on the table.
Guan Zhiyi whispered: "Brother, why are you visiting the set today?"
"Xiao Ran has been talking about it, and I thought you've been filming for quite a while, so I came to take a look."
"So it's like this…"
