Xia Zhiyi discovered that she was actually quite... busy on this show.
Since discovering that he could perform any movement with ease and adjust it according to each movement, Xia Zhiyi has become very popular.
Fu Yunyi responded, "Inviting you was definitely the right decision."
Xia Zhiyi helplessly, "I thought I was just here to make up the numbers."
Fu Yunyi was surprised. "Why would you think that? We decided on this theme after careful consideration. If we were just looking for people, there would be plenty of people wanting your spot."
Fu Yunyi: "You are a one-of-a-kind existence in the industry. Only you are indispensable. How can you be considered just a filler?"
Xia Zhiyi: "You've really flattered me."
Fu Yunyi chuckled twice and escorted Xia Zhiyi to the parking lot before asking, "How many days are you going to stay there? Make sure you can come out after you're sure."
Xia Zhiyi received a call from Director Min today, asking him to go to the training base there. Since the class Xia Zhiyi was in charge of only needed to train and there were no other problems, Xia Zhiyi set off immediately.
Fu Yunyi happened to be there and, upon hearing that Xia Zhiyi was going there, gave her a ride, but he was also worried that Xia Zhiyi be detained there and not allowed to leave.
Xia Zhiyi laughed, "No, the performance is the day after tomorrow, and I have a teacher-student relationship with them, so I definitely won't miss it."
Fu Yunyi: "That's fine then."
When Xia Zhiyi Director Min, he learned that the reason Director Min had called him here was because of some issues with the costumes.
This time, we're filming a historical drama, and a serious one at that. Director Min is very strict about everything, scrutinizing every detail, from costumes to props, striving for authenticity.
Everything else was fine, except for the costumes for the main characters, where the stylist hired by Director Min clashed with the history professor.
Xia Zhiyi: "..."
Speechless.
Both of them felt they had a point. One said that in that dynasty, clothing was regulated in this way, and so on.
Another person said that the art history he studied also covered the clothing of that time, and that the details here should clearly be like this, with some kind of symbolic meaning, and so on.
Director Min: "We've been arguing about this one pattern for two days now. Since you're also trying on the costume, I thought I'd have you come over and take a look, and also ask what your thoughts are on this."
Xia Zhiyi: "... Director Min, you're making me offend people."
Director Min glared at him. "What nonsense are you talking about? That professor has great faith in you, and the stylist likes you a lot too. I think both arguments make sense, but they won't listen to me. I'm sending you to see for yourself."
Xia Zhiyi pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, "It seems we recently stumbled upon an ancient tomb, and they're still investigating, right?"
Director Min was taken aback, not understanding why the topic had suddenly shifted to this point, and replied nonchalantly, "Oh, really? I've been on set lately and haven't been paying much attention to the news."
"This doesn't really concern us."
Xia Zhiyi smiled meaningfully, "How can it be unrelated?"
Director Min looked at him with a puzzled expression.
Xia Zhiyi smiled and met his gaze.
A moment later, a thought flashed through Director Min's mind, and he muttered to himself, "No way."
Xia Zhiyi smiled, "Director Min is lucky."
Director Min: "Really?"
Xia Zhiyi: "Well, the relevant information hasn't been released yet, but I have connections, so this information is probably true."
Director Min's eyes flickered, his expression shifting several times before finally settling on overjoyed. "Isn't that professor an expert in this field? If he really has information, he must have connections. I'll go ask him!"
After saying that, without waiting for Xia Zhiyi's reaction, the usually composed man turned and ran to find the professor.
Xia Zhiyi chuckled and shook her head. The producer, who hadn't said much, spoke up, "You must be quite busy on that show lately, but you seem to have better access to information than Director Min."
The other person's tone was calm and didn't seem to have any ill intentions, so Xia Zhiyi smiled and replied, "It just so happens that someone I know knew about this, and I just happened to have taken on this role, so they kindly told me."
"Actually, even if I didn't say anything today, the news would have come out in the next day or two, and Director Min would have found out by then."
Producer: "Are you sure it's that person's tomb?"
Xia Zhiyi: "We're about 80% sure now."
Eighty percent is already quite high.
The producer nodded. "This is really good news for our production team. It all depends on their efficiency. If they're efficient, we might have to make some changes to the script."
Most of the previous scripts were adapted from historical records. If any discrepancies are found in the newly unearthed tomb, given Director Min's meticulous nature, the script might really need to be changed.
but...
Xia Zhiyi: "Even if it's changed, it won't be too much. The records about that person, whether in official history or unofficial history, are actually quite similar. This also shows that he was truly a person of integrity and virtue, who devoted himself to the country until his death."
Producer: "You have a point."
Just then, Director Min jogged back with the others, his eyes shining brightly. " Xia Zhiyi, you've brought some really great news!"
After saying that, Director Min looked at the producer. "I need to go and do some on-site research. I'll submit the application to the higher-ups today. Lao Liu, I'll leave things here in your hands for now!"
After saying that, without waiting for the producer's reaction, he ran off.
Producer: "... This is way too exciting! I haven't even said anything yet."
Xia Zhiyi asked, "Is there anything else you need me to do?"
The producer chuckled, "With your arrival, you've essentially sent the director out in a package deal. What can I say?"
Xia Zhiyi noticed someone coming this way again and knew the producer would probably be busy for a while, so she said, "Then I'll be leaving now. If there's anything else, Producer Liu, please contact me."
"Okay, I know you're busy, go ahead."
As soon as Xia Zhiyi returned to the talent show base, she was grabbed and dragged to the infirmary the moment she stepped inside.
" Teacher Xia, that's great! Come quick, check if Song Qi's leg is okay. The director almost called 120!"
Xia Zhiyi quickly asked, "What happened? What's wrong with Song Qi's leg?"
So, on her way to the infirmary, Xia Zhiyi learned that something serious had happened at the base in the short half-day she had been away.
First, a contestant from Class A was so distracted by extra training that he almost caused a serious accident by missing a step. Fortunately, he only suffered a scrape and some bruising, and his bones were fine.
Then there's the issue of a contestant from Class B and a contestant from Class D not getting along. They would have minor disagreements every time they met before, and it finally escalated today, almost leading to a fight. Fu Yunyi arrived in time and scolded them back.
Immediately afterwards, Song Qi and his teammates went to the stage prepared by the production team to confirm their positions just in case. Then, when they came down, Song Qi slipped and fell. He was in so much pain that he turned pale, which terrified his teammates and passersby.
Xia Zhiyi only asked one question, "Why didn't you call an ambulance?"
