Chapter 157 Inviting Fans to Afternoon Tea
Ji Yan joined the crew of "Star Shadow" these past few days.
Today is the opening ceremony. Ji Yan, wearing a black short-sleeved shirt, was pulled to the center by the staff.
In this production crew, Ji Yan is arguably the most famous and influential artist among them. In addition, as the male lead, he should rightfully stand in the center position.
Next to Ji Yan is Qin Tian, the female lead of the drama.
Qin Tian isn't the kind of stunning beauty that catches your eye at first glance, but she has a good foundation and a gentle, pleasant appearance.
Everyone was dressed casually, but the overall look was still quite pleasing to the eye.
"Hello, Teacher Ji," Qin Tian greeted him.
Ji Yan gave a polite smile: "Hello."
"Just call me Xiao Tian like everyone else. I'm really looking forward to working with you this time. Please be understanding," Qin Tian said with a slight smile.
Ji Yan nodded: "Okay, we're all in the same production team, so we'll naturally be more tolerant."
"I'm Fang Yucheng, I'm a year younger than you, I'll call you Brother Yan," Fang Yucheng greeted from the side.
Fang Yucheng is the second male lead in this drama, and he also plays a male artist.
“Then I’ll call you Xiaotian too?” Fang Yucheng said to Qin Tian on the other side.
Qin Tian nodded and said happily, "Okay, then I'll call you Brother Cheng?"
Qin Tian is only 24 years old now. In fact, she acted in TV series when she was 17, but she was always in supporting roles. Moreover, she has never had good resources and has not received many good scripts.
Furthermore, she doesn't have much media exposure, so she remains relatively unknown.
The screenwriter and director of this drama are not very famous, but the script is indeed quite good, so she worked hard to get the female lead role.
Later, when she heard that Ji Yan had also taken on the role, she and her agent were even more surprised. Even if the drama wasn't very good, given Ji Yan's recent popularity, the ratings would definitely not be too low.
And it can also bring her the same level of exposure.
Fang Yucheng smiled slightly: "Okay."
"Alright everyone, get ready for our opening ceremony!" the director called out cheerfully from the sidelines.
He even personally distributed red envelopes to each of the actors.
"I'll count to three, two, one, and we'll all shout together, 'Action!'" the director said to them, preparing the camera.
"321"
"Good luck with the boot!"
……
Ji Yan posted this auspicious photo of the filming start on Weibo: "Auspicious start to filming [Image] @Lin Jin @Director Rong Wei…《Star Shadow》"
Soon, many comments appeared below.
"I'm so looking forward to my brother's new drama! It's Yan Yan's first TV series, and he's the male lead!"
"We absolutely have to support them! Hurry up and film it, release it as soon as possible!"
"Wow, celebrities are just different; they look so handsome even in a simple black T-shirt."
"Is that the girl next to our Yan-ge the female lead? She's so pretty, but I don't remember her."
"The girl next to me is the female lead of 'Star Shadow,' her name is Qin Tian, she's very gentle @QinTian"
"I know, I know Qin Tian. I watched a drama she acted in two years ago. She played the female lead's sister. I thought she was pretty back then. I never expected that she would be acting alongside my favorite male star today!"
"So many unfamiliar faces. Looks like they're relying on Ji Yan to attract customers this time, right?"
...
There were also many of Ji Yan's fans outside the film set to see him.
“There are a lot of fans outside, do you want to go out and see them?” Xu Zhi asked as he walked over.
Ji Yan nodded and stood up: "Let's go see. Everyone's gone through the trouble of making the trip."
Xu Zhi took Ji Yan outside the film set, and sure enough, there were many fans waiting for Ji Yan outside.
As soon as Ji Yan came out, there was a burst of screams and shouts of Ji Yan's name.
Ji Yan also went over and, together with Xu Zhi, accepted the envelopes and flowers they brought. There were so many things that Fang Yuqing quickly came out to help take them.
Security guards immediately came to maintain order.
Suddenly, a girl shouted, "Let's all wish Yan Yan a successful start to her filming!"
"Good luck with the boot!"
We're all looking forward to your new drama.
The fans shouted in unison.
Ji Yan paused for a moment, then unconsciously smiled and said, "Thank you everyone. I will definitely live up to your expectations."
"Since everyone's here, I'll treat you all to something to drink. It's hot, so please be careful not to get heatstroke."
After saying that, Ji Yan turned to Xu Zhi and Fang Yuqing to give instructions.
The fans cheered with delight.
Several more staff members came out and took away the gifts, envelopes, and bouquets. Xu Zhi and Fang Yuqing stepped forward to maintain order and led everyone to a nearby tea shop.
After Ji Yan finished explaining things here, he went over with her.
When Xu Zhi arrived at the store, he explained the situation to the bewildered staff beforehand, saying that he would settle the bill for everyone's orders later.
Fang Yuqing went up and arranged for the fans to sit down first, and then let them order their own food. Ji Yan would pay the bill later.
"Oh my god, this is so wonderful, so thoughtful!"
"Oh my god, I'll definitely be a fan of his for life!"
"Oh my god, I'm so happy!"
"Ahhh, Yan Yan is here!"
Ji Yan also walked in from the door, and everyone began to stir, unable to calm down.
"It's really hot outside, and it's already afternoon. Let's have some afternoon tea before we go back," Ji Yan said with a slight smile, his voice so pleasant it was almost unbearable.
The fans couldn't help but take out their phones to record and take pictures. They controlled their urge to rush forward and hug Ji Yan and kiss him. They sat in their seats, their faces flushed with excitement.
"Um, can we take a picture together?" a girl asked expectantly.
Ji Yan nodded and stepped forward: "Of course, anyone who wants to take a picture can."
"Ahhh"
"I'm so happy, oh my god!"
Ji Yan put her finger to her lips in a shushing gesture, then said, "Everyone, please be quiet. There are other guests here. Let's take some photos and have some afternoon tea in peace."
The fans nodded repeatedly, like chickens pecking at rice, and remained silent.
Ji Yan took the first step by picking up the phone of the fan in front of her and taking a photo with her. Other fans also raised their phones one by one, indicating that they wanted to take photos together. Everyone stopped shouting and cooperated very well.
Ji Yanguang spent twenty minutes taking group photos, and then stood in front of everyone to take a photo with his fans.
"Everyone, please take a good rest. I have some work to do and need to leave first. I'll have my assistant settle the bill for you all later," Ji Yan explained to everyone.
The fans understood. Although they were reluctant to see him go, he had work to do. He was already very happy to be able to take photos with them and treat them to afternoon tea.
Ji Yan and Fang Yuqing left together, leaving the rest to Xu Zhi.
Ji Yan returned to the film set. Today was the first day of filming, which was also a chance for everyone to get to know each other and become familiar with each other.
“I’m so envious, so many fans come to visit Teacher Ji’s class,” one of the actresses said to another.
“Sigh, when will I ever have a time like that?” another person replied.
Producer Lin Jin stepped forward, smiling, and said to Ji Yan, "Little Ji, I'm very happy that you can participate in this production. Most of the artists in this cast probably don't have as much popularity as you, so I hope you can mentor them."
