Chapter 996: Full Responsibility

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“You mean Shi Jin is in charge of the script alone?” she confirmed again.

“Yes.” Ji Hanxue didn’t explain much. “It’s a two-way choice between her and me. Of course, between us and the actors, it’s also a two-way choice.”

Zhang Xuelin pinched her palms.

The opportunity to cooperate with Ji Hanxue was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Just this period of contact with Ji Hanxue had allowed her reputation to continue to increase.

However, if the script was written by Shi Jin… Zhang Xuelin was still a little uncertain.

It was true that Fu Xiuyuan could buy a script for Shi Jin at a high price. Logically speaking, there was no problem with the script, but Shi Jin still had to discuss the script with the team and make edits…

Zhang Xuelin found it hard to believe that Ji Hanxue could use such a script.

Yue Shuxin was also very surprised. She could not believe that Shi Jin could do well in this industry.

Ji Hanxue’s movies usually took a long time to film. If he spent so much time and took out a failed product, it would really be a waste of time and delay things.

“Director Ji, forgive me for being presumptuous, but you’ve always worked with top-notch screenwriters before. Why did you choose Shi Jin this time?” Zhang Xuelin asked.

“I love her script, and I’m sure she’s capable of the best,” Ji Hanxue said with a smile. “Like I said, it’s a two-way choice. If you guys can’t accept it, I won’t push it.”

Zhang Xuelin immediately said, “I think we can still give Shi Jin some trust.”

“I think so too,” Yue Shuxin said.

The two of them still did not want to give up this opportunity, but their attitudes were clearly not as determined as before.

“In that case, we’ll decide on the final candidate in a few days and stay to sign the contract,” Ji Hanxue said.

***

After resting for two days, Shi Jin came to the office. She looked even more gentle and had lost her overly cold temperament. She was a little different from before.

However, the gentleness made her even sweeter. When her face was cold, she looked high-class and unreachable, but when she smiled, she seemed very amiable. Zhang Xuelin had been praised for her high-class face many times, but her smile was very strange. It had nothing to do with sweetness. Looking at Shi Jin like this, she felt a little envious.

As for Yue Shuxin, she had a mature face. She was very generous, but she was not sweet.

Neither of them had a face as malleable as Shi Jin’s.

No, it should be said that there were very few such faces in the entire entertainment industry, so many artistes would take on roles that were biased towards their own characteristics.

Shi Jin was not picky about any role. It was really rare for an artist to be able to change her look so casually.

However, Shi Jin was now behind the scenes. Both of them wondered if it was their luck or the audience’s loss.

Shi Jin did not have much to do today and planned to leave early in the afternoon.

“Shi Jin, let’s have dinner together tonight.” Zhang Xuelin walked over and said, “I’ve invited many friends. Director Ji is going over too. Let’s support him.”

“Okay, I’ll call home.”

“Is Master Fu that strict with you?” Zhang Xuelin said with a smile.

Shi Jin said calmly, “I’m just letting him know so he doesn’t worry.”

After Shi Jin finished the call, Zhang Xuelin asked softly, “Shi Jin, are you really going to be in complete charge of Director Ji’s script this time?”

“Something like that.”

“You look more suitable for the job in front of the camera. Why do you have to do such a thankless job as a screenwriter?” Zhang Xuelin said. “Shall I introduce you to a script? It will really be especially suitable for you.”

“Thank you. I don’t have that kind of plan at the moment.” Shi Jin thanked her politely.

Seeing that she was not buying it at all, Zhang Xuelin was a little discouraged, but she could not say anything nasty to Shi Jin.

However, if Shi Jin was really in charge of this script, she was really afraid that her efforts would be wasted.

“Let’s go. It’s time to get off work. Everyone still has to go to Sister Xuelin’s house for dinner.” Someone greeted them.

The crew was in the midst of preparations, and an initial staff had been assembled.

Everyone also planned to take this opportunity to familiarize themselves.

Shi Jin put her things away and followed everyone out. She asked for the address and drove after them.

Zhang Xuelin lived in a mansion in the capital.

She’d made her name early and had long since earned enough. All she needed now was a good chance to reach the top to secure her position.

The mansion occupied a large area in a villa area. The car drove in. After Shi Jin found a place to park, she walked in.

At Zhang Xuelin’s house, there were many servants. When they saw Shi Jin coming over, they came to welcome her in.

The rest of the staff had already arrived.

Some of these people had worked with Ji Hanxue before and were familiar with him.

Some of them were new to such jobs and seemed rather rusty.

Shi Jin was not familiar with them at all.

No one dared to take the initiative to say anything to Shi Jin, but Shi Jin was happy to be relaxed.

She glanced up at the setup… balloons surrounded by flowers. The words “Happy Birthday” were clearly placed in the center.

So it was Zhang Xuelin’s birthday. Shi Jin only knew now.

She hadn’t been here for the past two days, so naturally no one had told her. Besides, they weren’t close.

However, since Zhang Xuelin had invited her here, she should have made things clear.

Shi Jin looked at the others. Indeed, they had brought gifts. Only she had not.

Zhang Xuelin quickly came in and said with a smile, “Thank you for your support. It’s rare that everyone is here. Thank you for coming.”

Yue Shuxin and Ji Hanxue also came in.

They both carried gifts, too.

Obviously, when Zhang Xuelin invited them, she had said that it was their birthday, but she did not tell Shi Jin.

Thinking of what Zhang Xuelin had said before, Shi Jin smiled faintly.

Zhang Xuelin greeted everyone one by one. Her tone was warm and friendly as she took care of everyone.

When she reached Shi Jin, her smile became even more affectionate. “Shi Jin, welcome. I’m really glad you came.”

“Yeah, I’m glad I came to your birthday party, too. Only when I did, I didn’t even know it was your birthday party. I didn’t have any presents.”

“Aiya, I forgot to tell you that it’s my birthday today. I’m really sorry. I should have told you in advance. Really, look at my memory.” Zhang Xuelin blamed herself. “It’s all my fault. I’ll punish myself with three glasses later.”

She said it sincerely, but when everyone gave gifts later, it would still make Shi Jin look strange.

Shi Jin was unwilling to figure out her deep thoughts, but she had to admit that Zhang Xuelin was indeed quite capable.

“This is a gift for you, Xuelin.” Yue Shuxin walked over and brought her gift box up. “Happy birthday.”
