Chasing stars is not as good as chasing agents

The imagination is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

Ji Shi originally planned to finish breakfast so that he and Gu Jianchi could go on a date like a formal couple. He had already quietly searched for "Where should I go on a first date" on Weihu, but he suddenly answered When it came to the work call, it was Gong He's assistant.

"Brother Xiao, are you free now? I accompanied Gong He to take a magazine photo, and encountered some troubles, and I don't know how to deal with it."

This assistant has only been working for a year, and she used to accompany the running crew more often. However, there is another set of rules in the fashion and magazine circles. help.

Ji Shi heard that she was in a hurry, and immediately comforted him: "Don't worry, what happened? Tell me."

Gong He's magazine shooting this time was quite tortuous. At the beginning, he decided on the October issue of "Xinghui", with hard photos and interviews on the inside pages.As soon as Yang Degang of the company knew about this, he went to instigate the boss, wanting to include Cai Feiping in a package, making it a slow-moving promotion for newcomers.

For the boss, pushing two is definitely more cost-effective than pushing one.

Ji Shi knew that this matter could not be dismissed, although he had some incidents with Cai Feiping, and he was even more out of tune with Yang Degang, but he was not right about the matter, so instead of arguing with the boss because of personal rift, it is better to help Gong He fight for other benefits, and It's resource replacement, so he agreed to the request to be on the magazine together, but he emphasized that this time he will focus on the topic of "creating stars slowly", and cannot bundle and hype the so-called brother CP.

The boss is a person with a bowl of water, it is impossible to only let Ji Shi suffer, so he also agrees, and promises that this magazine promotion will still focus on Gong He.

As a result, Gong He's magazine shoot changed from two pages of photos plus two pages of interviews to a couple of four pages of photos plus four pages of interviews.

This was originally a matter of mutual benefit, who knows what a coincidence, when Gong He and Cai Feiping went to shoot today, they met another artist's manager.

This manager and Yang Degang are not on the same page, and the artist they bring is recommended by the magazine advertiser. The magazine does not dare to offend, and with the absence of Ji Shi and Yang Degang, the manager is even more arrogant. He insists on swapping shoots with Gong He and the others. theme.

To put it simply, this was actually a personal grievance between the manager and Yang Degang, and in the end Gong He became the innocent person involved.

Although Gong He's assistant was anxious and angry, and there was a bit of crying in his voice, he still explained the cause and effect clearly.

Ji Shi rubbed his eyebrows, this Yang Degang!There are quite a lot of enemies!

Let's get out of this matter, it's shameful, let's go in, they don't have the confidence of each other, after all, the advertiser is the father of the magazine, and the artist recommended by the advertiser is equivalent to the nephew of the magazine.

Ji Shi thought that this matter was actually easy to deal with, but he couldn't speak clearly on the phone, not to mention that the assistant was so anxious that he was about to cry, and his aura had already weakened by three points, so it was not suitable for him to negotiate with the magazine.

He glanced at Gu Jianchi who was in the kitchen with some guilt and apology, and then he confirmed again: "Are you filming at the Rose Manor in the suburbs?"

"Yep."

"You drag it first, I'll go there now." Ji Shi estimated the distance, and said, "I'll be there in about an hour."

"Where are we going in more than an hour?" Gu Jianchi came out of the kitchen.

Ji Shi hung up the phone and said, "I have something to deal with at work."

Gu Jianchi was stunned for a moment, and asked in frustration, "Aren't we going on a date?"

Ji Shi apologized, "I'll settle the matter over there as soon as possible, and then we'll make an appointment at night?"

Gu Jianchi blinked her eyes and made a pitiful look: "It's settled, I won't call again, just call you away casually, right?"

"Don't leave! I guarantee that no one will leave!" Ji Shi immediately kissed Gu Jianchi's cheek as compensation.

Gu Jianchi made an inch and said: "Kissing the face is not enough, you understand?"

"..." Ji Shi blushed, and then kissed Gu Jianchi's mouth again.

Originally, he only kissed like a superficial kiss, but Gu Jianchi suddenly pressed the back of his head and responded enthusiastically.

Ji Shi couldn't stand still, his body stepped back, his calf hit the sofa, and he sat down on the soft sofa, which made it easier for Gu Jianchi.

Ji Shi was so kissed that he couldn't breathe, and Ji Shi was surprised to find that Gu Jianchi's kissing skills have improved so fast!Last night I was a little confused, but today I know how to tease him.

After an unknown amount of time, Gu Jianchi let go of Ji Shi.

At this time, Ji Shi's slightly parted lips were ruddy with an ambiguous watery glow, his chest heaved violently, and his eyes were covered with an ambiguous mist.

Gu Jianchi received the compensation with interest, and then she was refreshed and satisfied, while Ji Shi, on the other hand, was just like a cat whose hair has been rumpled, sitting on the sofa stupidly.

Gu Jianchi smiled lightly: "Let's go, I'll see you off."

"..." Ji Shi licked his lips and said with some satisfaction, "Okay."

Ji Shi got up, although he had kissed him before, but after all, the first date between the two fell through, he was still afraid that Gu Jianchi would have some thoughts in his mind, so he explained: "Actually, it's also good for me to cancel my vacation in advance."

Thinking about the kiss just now, Gu Jianchi couldn't help smiling: "Well, it's pretty good."

Ji Shi guessed what he was thinking at once, so he pushed him: "What are you thinking! I didn't mean that!"

Gu Jianchi asked in confusion, "What did you say?"

"I haven't used up my leave yet, so I can save it up. Then we can go to the beach again. This time, it's too hasty. We haven't gone to the sea together yet. We're blowing the sea breeze by the beach." Ji Shi said As he said that, he didn't know what he thought of, but his voice became weak because of his guilty conscience.

In fact, going to the sea and blowing the sea breeze are all fake. The important thing is that you can take the opportunity to go to the beach to see through Gu Jianchi who is swimming and pants, otherwise it is a pity that figure, although after last night, Ji Shi has already seen it I have enjoyed it too, but it feels different when I change the place and the situation.

Gu Jianchi had a tacit understanding with him, and smiled knowingly: "Okay."

The love of adults is to be so sloppy and flirtatious.

Suddenly, Gu Jianchi recalled it, and he asked suspiciously: "Did you have bad intentions when you asked me to go to the beach?"

Ji Shi: "..."

Ji Shi's silence said everything, Gu Jianchi's mood became more relaxed, and at the same time, he was also very fortunate that the two of them confessed so early and did not waste too much time.

Gu Jianchi said frankly, "Actually, I do too."

The shyness on Ji Shi's face suddenly turned into excitement, his eyes sparkled, almost overflowing with joy, he threw himself on Gu Jianchi's back, hanging behind him like a koala.

Gu Jianchi smiled and bent slightly, and the two of them went out in a sticky manner.

When entering the garage, Gu Jianchi asked, "What happened to you at work? You left in such a hurry?"

Ji Shi told Gu Jianchi about this incident.

Gu Jianchi's eyes darkened slightly, and she said, "What do you plan to do?"

"We are actually at a disadvantage in this matter. Gong He has just started and does not have a strong fan base. This filming is purely a commercial cooperation. Unlike that artist, it was pushed by an advertiser and has more confidence than us, but this I will never budge on that.”

"In addition, it's useless to argue with the magazine and the artist's agent. In the final analysis, the key is the advertiser."

Gu Jianchi asked, "Who is their advertiser?"

"Rose is a light luxury everyday brand. The reason why they chose Rose Manor for shooting this time is because the location fits well with Rose's name. Coincidentally, the founder and chief designer of Rose are both women. But they only make men's clothing, and I heard it has something to do with the founder's emotional experience." Ji Shiyi accidentally dragged the topic away, and he sighed while talking.

After Gu Jianchi knew that the advertiser was Rose, he already had a plan in mind, so he said again: "I think since you have already started to build a team, you should give full play to the functions of the assistant and don't meddle in everything."

There was a red light ahead, and their car stopped, Ji Shi smiled and blew into Gu Jianchi's ear, then kissed him, and said, "I understand, I didn't do everything this time, first of all Regarding the communication with the advertiser, I leave it to the company’s business colleagues to discuss. As for the assistant, she doesn’t work long and she just arrived at Gong He’s side. I still have to take it with her. I believe that in the future She's going to get better."

Ji Shi's lips were soft and moist, and when they touched his face, it was like being touched by jelly.

Gu Jianchi was startled, and said in a hoarse voice, "Don't sneak attack me, something will happen."

Ji Shi said obediently: "That's why I deliberately picked the time to wait for the red light."

Gu Jian said pointingly: "No, something happened down below."

Ji Shi: "!!!"

Ji Shi immediately sat back, leaned obediently on the car seat, stared straight ahead, his ears were blushing, "You...how did you..."

Gu Jianchi said relaxedly: "Young and energetic, you are full of vigor."

Ji Shi glanced at himself with a sigh: "Why isn't mine so aggressive?"

Gu Jianchi chuckled: "Probably because I was exhausted last night..."

Ji Shi glared at him, Gu Jianchi was just making fun of his inability.

The two of them teased each other and arrived at the shooting location. When Ji Shi got out of the car, Gu Jianchi called Secretary Park.

Gu Jianchi said: "Do you know the magazine "Starlight"?"

Pu Bufan said: "I know."

Gu Jianchi looked indifferently at the crowd who were filming in the distance, he was very angry now, his good date was interrupted, and Ji Shi had to rush to solve these bad things, but when he turned his eyes back to Ji Shi's back When he got up, his expression softened a lot.

Gu Jianchi said lightly: "That's fine, let them know who the father is."

Secretary Park: "???"

Rose is a brand under the Wanchuida Luxury Group.

Coincidentally, Gu Jianchi is a major customer of Wan Cui Da, how big is it, it is probably the kind of super VIP who can ask to close the door and buy it alone, let alone Gu Jian Chi and Wan Cui Da There are many other deep collaborations.

In this case, Gu Jianchi's suggestion is very important.

***

On the other side, after Gong He, Cai Feiping and their assistants saw Ji Shi coming, they seemed to see a savior, and their backs straightened up.

The editorial assistant of "Xinghui" magazine saw that the people who came slowly were originally listless, but now their expressions were different, so they followed their gazes and looked over, and it turned out that Ji Shi had come.

The editorial assistant gave up communicating with Gong He and the others, but turned to Ji Shi, greeted him with a smile: "Brother Xiao, why are you here? I heard they said you were on vacation."

As the saying goes, don't hit people with smiling faces. Although the magazine has gone too far, since the other party greeted them with a smile, Ji Shi always has to be polite.

"I would like to take a quiet vacation. Unfortunately, I am busy with work. Even when I am traveling in other places, I still have work calls every day. No, today I heard that there are some problems with the filming here, so I came to have a look."

The editorial assistant smiled and said, "Hey, it's a small problem."

"Actually, I already knew something about the situation before I came here. Why do you suddenly want to change the subject of the shooting?" Ji Shi didn't waste any more time, and asked straight to the point, "Is there any one on our side that didn't follow the requirements of the previous communication? ?”

The editorial assistant was taken aback: "No."

As soon as she finished speaking, she secretly thought it was bad, and quickly apologized with a smile: "No, no, actually, this is because our work has been adjusted, and I hope you will cooperate."

Ji Shi said innocently: "We have always cooperated with your work!"

He was smiling from the beginning to the end, which made people feel good, and he couldn't say anything serious.

"That's that, that's that." The editorial assistant actually had to do it. From her personal point of view, she also tends to take her time here, unlike the other side, who changed the subject of the shooting casually. how many people.

Ji Shi blinked: "So it's not us who don't cooperate."

Editorial Assistant: "..."

Ji Shi smiled even cuter: "I think it's better to discuss this matter with those who are uncooperative and have problems. As long as they don't change, everyone can work with peace of mind and happiness, right?"

The editorial assistant pleaded softly, "Brother Xiao, please help me."

Ji Shi suppressed his smile and sighed, "It's not that I don't want to help, but that I can't help. I've always acted according to the previous negotiation."

Although he eats soft but not hard, he doesn't eat everything soft.

The editorial assistant's expression suddenly became sad. If she was wronged, she was really wronged. She turned into a sandwich biscuit for no reason: "Then...then I'll go talk to you over there again."

After the editorial assistant left, Gong He saw a few people at the magazine muttering to each other, not knowing what they were discussing, Gong He worried: "Brother Xiao, why don't we change with them? It will save you from being a hard man. "

Ji Shi rolled his eyes at him, and said, "Don't be blind and kind. If this kind of thing gets out, others will think you are mud that can be kneaded casually. Today A forcefully asks you to change, then B will also change in the future? There are a lot of people in CDEF, as long as this opening is opened, there will be endless troubles."

Gong He did not expect such a deep level.

Ji Shi said firmly: "The reason is on our side, so don't retreat easily."

Gong He nodded, expressing his understanding.

Ji Shi said to the new assistant again: "From now on, you will use this kind of soft attitude to reject their unreasonable demands. Some things can be backed down, and some things are related to principles, so you can't back down. Also, if you really want to back down, remember to use Other demands come to ask the other party for compensation."

The new assistant hurriedly said: "Thank you for reminding me, Brother Xiao, I have learned."

Ji Shi is quite satisfied with this new assistant. He is not afraid that the new assistant will ask him for help in everything in the early stage, but he is afraid that the new assistant will not say anything and just mess around on his own.

Although Gong He and the others were all thankful for Yu Ji Shi's strength, they were also worried that it would be useless in the end, so they let out a long sigh.

Ji Shi saw that they were downcast, so he comforted them in a relaxed tone: "Anyway, this matter still needs to be communicated with the magazine, and it won't be resolved in a while, so it's useless for you to worry or sigh, just let it be today. Is it out for an outing?"

The few of them looked at each other, and the new assistant said with emotion: "Brother Xiao, your mentality is too good."

Ji Shi smiled and said: "In our business, you must be able to adjust your mentality, otherwise you will have bad things every day, and you will be pissed off. Come, let's talk about other things."

Ji Shi was in such a relaxed state of mind, Gong He and his new assistant were also affected, and the atmosphere of the team suddenly became more relaxed. Cai Feiping, who was next to him, looked at them happy and happy, with mixed feelings in his heart. She didn't treat him coldly, but just treated him as an ordinary newcomer in the company.

Gong He cooperated to change the topic, and looked at Ji Shi curiously: "Brother Xiao, why are you wearing so many clothes today, isn't it hot?"

When he asked, the assistant and Cai Feiping looked at him curiously.

Ji Shi: "..." You bastard, I want you to talk about something else, not about me.

Ji Shi was very embarrassed to be stared at by them. He was afraid of being spotted, so he silently raised his collar.

He and Gu Jianchi were too crazy last night, especially Gu Jianchi, who was so unscrupulous that he left many marks on his neck, even a red tooth mark on his ear, but fortunately, the mark on his ear It wasn't obvious, but the one on the neck was too obvious, so he rummaged through the box, and deliberately found a piece of clothing that could cover the neck without being too thick and put it on.

Ji Shi coughed lightly, and explained: "I just came back from the beach, it was too hot there, I have a little skin allergy, I can't bask in the sun, so I wore long sleeves."

"I have some ointment for rubbing the skin, Brother Xiao, do you want it?" The new assistant was afraid that he would dislike him, so he added, "When I was with the team before, a female celebrity recommended it, and it was very useful."

Ji Shi wasn't allergic in the first place, so he used "the doctor prescribed the medicine" to fool him.

Just when Ji Shi thought that there would be a long tussle between the magazine and the other side this time, the editorial assistant who had been downcast just now came back full of energy.

"Brother Xiao, this time the matter has been resolved, they will not change the theme, we can shoot right away, and just now the editor-in-chief said that I am sorry for this matter, so I will add an inside cover for you."

Ji Shi: "???"

A magazine has an outer cover, an inner cover, and an inner page. Generally, a newcomer like Gong He Cai Feiping has a chance to be on the outer cover unless he has a blockbuster work or is recommended by an advertiser. Now the magazine tells him that he can still add an inner seal?Although the inner seal is not as good as the outer seal, it is already very good.

What is this operation?

What puzzled Ji Shi even more was that not far away, the manager who asked to change the theme just now was leading the artist to pack his things, apparently about to leave.

Ji Shi asked the editorial assistant: "Are they leaving?"

"Hmm... yes, I heard that the advertiser was angry and said to help them with a magazine interview, but there were so many things, I couldn't fall in love, um... These are the original words of the advertising father." The editorial assistant is actually Some are gloating, or it should be said that the people in their magazine are quite gloating.

Ji Shi: "..." This advertiser is quite domineering.

He was happy but also a little suspicious, that's all?Are they lucky?Is it a win?

The editorial assistant knows how to be a human being. After talking about the business, he apologized to Ji Shi and the others: "Brother Xiao, I'm really sorry about what happened this time. In fact, we didn't want to."

Regardless of whether it was a scene or a truth, since he said it, Ji Shi would of course accept it. In fact, Ji Shi knew in his heart that the reason why the magazine chose to make them compromise was because they thought they were easy to talk and didn't want to kick the iron plate.

If it wasn't for the advertiser's misfortune this time, they might be the ones who left the venue angrily.

Ji Shi smirked and said politely, "It's also making things difficult for you."

After the editorial assistant left, Gong He said a little depressingly: "Although the shooting was saved this time, and I got an internal seal for no reason, but... I still feel a little uncomfortable."

Ji Shi knew why he was uncomfortable, so he patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him: "Then you will grow up to a level where no one else can change you, so that my manager can enjoy a good time with you." .”

Managers and artists are actually complementary to each other. A good manager can help the artist negotiate more cooperation and protect the interests of the artist. Similarly, the artist is strong, popular, and has many representative works. When the manager deals with customers, Confidence is enough.

Gong He clenched his fist and said, "I know! I will work hard!"

"Brother Xiao, do you want to go back now? Shall I ask the driver to take you?" the new assistant asked.

Ji Shi shook his head, he has come anyway, and he has no other place to go now, the manor is beautiful and the air is good, so he just stayed and took pictures with Gong He, and brought his assistant along to let her learn how to Deal with magazines.

Taking photos for magazines seems simple, like posing a few poses and clicking the camera a few times, but "Starlight" has high requirements for the finished film. In order to find a good angle and wait for the perfect natural light, the photographer, Various adjustments are made from time to time, and the looks of Gong He and Cai Feiping will also be changed and adjusted, so this busy work has passed for most of the day.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Ji Shi received Gu Jianchi's WeChat.

Gu Jianchi: Are you off work?

Ji Shi: It's almost time, I guess work will be over at four o'clock.

Gu Jianchi: Then wait for me.

Ji Shi smiled, typed and asked: Are you coming to pick me up?

Gu Jianchi: Of course, this is the boyfriend's duty.

A sweet smile slowly bloomed on Ji Shi's face. Gong He and his assistant next to him looked at it, a little stunned, and discussed in a low voice: "Is Brother Xiao in love? I feel that he is in a good mood today."

Gong He doubted: "Maybe it's because the salary has arrived?"

The new assistant said, "But it's not time to pay wages yet."

The two discussed and discussed, but there was no result, and they didn't dare to ask, so the matter could only be let go and become an unsolved mystery.

After four o'clock in the afternoon, the entire filming team finally called it a day.

Ji Shi said to Gong He who was sitting in the nanny's car: "You guys go back first, I still have something to do."

The assistant reminded: "Today is the closed day of Qiangwei Manor. We have all gone back, and there is no one in the manor. Brother Xiao, be careful when you are alone."

Ji Shi smiled and nodded, then waved at them.

One after another, the people who were filming left, and the whole manor immediately fell silent.

Although it is August in midsummer, the temperature in the suburbs is still a little low, especially after four o'clock, when the sun is not as strong as at noon, and the cool air in the mountains and forests is blowing away with the wind.

Ji Shi thought to himself, it's a good thing he was wearing long sleeves, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to hold on.

He was worried that Gu Jianchi would not be able to find him, so he deliberately stood at the place where he and Gu Jianchi parted ways in the morning and waited.

In the distance, the sun is slowly sinking to the west, the sky is dyed orange red, and the birds in the twilight have become one after another dancing black silhouettes. The tired birds have returned to their nests, and the staff of the manor have also returned to the manor villa in twos and threes. middle.

As soon as this group of people left, the surrounding area became much more empty.

The sound of hoofbeats sounded behind him, and Ji Shi turned his head curiously, only to see Gu Jianchi riding a tall white horse slowly walking towards him in the afterglow of the setting sun.

This is a breathtakingly beautiful picture. The chin of the man on the horse is raised slightly, like a prince in a fairy tale. His back is straight like a young white poplar, his waist is thin and full of strength, and his slender legs Draping gracefully on both sides of the horse's belly, the black riding boots perfectly wrapped the tight calves.

Golden light enveloped him, forming a warm and beautiful halo, and the leaves swayed behind him, as if he was an elf walking out of the forest.

Gu Jianchi drove the horse up to Ji Shi, then got off the horse, flipped the whip lightly with her beautiful fingers, Chao Jishi smiled softly, and a deep sexy voice sounded slowly.

"Sir, can I ask you to go on a horseback riding date?"

Ji Shi's soul was about to be hooked by him, he stared at Gu Jianchi foolishly, unable to say a word for a long time.

Gu Jianchi tilted his head in doubt, even with such a naive gesture, he still gave him an elegant aristocratic air. When he poked Ji Ji with his horsewhip, he slightly raised his eyebrows: "Huh?"

This soft hum, drifting into Ji Shi's ears with the wind, seemed to be scratching him like a grass tip, making his body numb. He came back to his senses, and tightly held Gu Jianchi's hand holding the horsewhip , smiling so that his eyes were full of stars, he said happily: "My honor!"

Ji Shi looked at the tall white horse and said worriedly, "But I don't know how to ride a horse."

Gu Jianchi comforted: "It's okay, just sit in front of me."

Looking at the four powerful legs of the white horse, Ji Shi felt a little apprehensive: "Will it kick me?"

Gu Jianchi laughed and said, "No."

Ji Shi showed a eager expression, and asked cautiously: "Then can I touch it?"

"Of course." Gu Jianchi pulled the rein, "It's very good."

Ji Shi boldly stretched out his hand and touched the horse's neck. As expected, the white horse was not angry, but looked at him friendly with big eyes, then snorted and shook its head.

The horse's eyes are very big and its eyelashes are very long, so when it shakes its head, it has a unique sense of cuteness.

The more Ji Shi touched it, the happier he said, "It's so fun!"

Gu Jianchi said sourly: "Just touch it a few times."

Ji Shi didn't realize it at first, but after a while, he suddenly understood, and looked at Gu Jianchi with a funny face: "Isn't that right, do you even want a horse's jealousy?"

Gu Jianchi hummed a few times in dissatisfaction, then pulled the rein: "Get on the horse, I'll take you to play."

The author has something to say: Actually, I wanted them to play with cakes yesterday, but it’s still too dangerous QAQ, please keep a low profile, don’t say it so blatantly in the comments, you will be lifted, if you are lifted, you may be caught locked.
