Chapter 228 The Princess's Counterattack Against Ye Zi
Crew hotel.

"Thank you, Jingyi, for accompanying me for so long today."

In the elevator, Lin Li turned his head to look at Zhang Jingyi beside him and said with a smile.

"No, this is also my first time going out to play since I came here. I am very happy today. I should thank you."

Zhang Jingyi also returned to her normal state at this moment and responded obediently.

"Yeah, that's great."

"You've walked a lot today, so you should wash up and rest early when you get back to your room."

Lin Li looked at Zhang Jingyi, who looked well-behaved, and spoke in a gentle tone.

"Yeah, I know, you too."

"Ali..."

Zhang Jingyi had a conflicted look on her face, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"What's wrong, Jingyi? Just say whatever you want to say."

Lin Li knew what was going on and guided the man patiently.

"Are you leaving tomorrow?"

Zhang Jingyi raised her eyes and looked towards Lin Li, with a hint of reluctance in her eyes.

"I have to go check out the location of a new movie tomorrow morning and leave in the afternoon. As you know, I'm on leave now."

Lin Li said helplessly.

"I know. You mentioned it last night."

"I just think it's a bit tiring for you to rush back and forth."

Zhang Jingyi's voice was soft and gentle, and she stared at Lin Li without blinking.

"Yeah, I was a bit rushed. Yezi had recommended several scenic spots here to me, but I didn't have time to see them."

Lin Li mentioned Zhou Ye seemingly casually.

"Senior Zhou Ye, yes, I almost forgot, she is half Shancheng."

When Zhang Jingyi heard Lin Li mention Zhou Ye, her eyes narrowed subconsciously.

"Yes, she also said that she would take me to eat at many special restaurants when she comes to shoot next time."

"She described it very well. I'm looking forward to it."

Lin Li was leaning against the elevator, his posture very casual, except for a smile of interest when Zhou Ye was mentioned.

"Um...I want to ask you a question."

Zhang Jingyi lowered her eyes slightly, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment.

"Just say it."

Lin Li looked nonchalant, with his eyebrows slightly raised.

"Does Senior Zhou Ye know about you and Xiaotian?"

Zhang Jingyi mustered up her courage and looked inquiringly.

"I know."

"What's wrong? Ye Zi is also a friend, just like us. Does it mean that just because I'm with Xiao Tian, ​​I have to stop associating with you guys?"

"Jingyi, didn't we make it clear last time we called?"

Lin Li stared at Zhang Jingyi seriously, his tone helpless.

"Ah, no, no."

"I was afraid that Senior Zhou Ye might not know, and that I might let it slip when we were chatting one day."

Zhang Jingyi waved her hands repeatedly to explain.

"Oh, that's it. It's okay. Even if she doesn't know, it doesn't matter if you tell her. It's not something shameful."

Lin Li pretended to be stunned and looked calm.

"Ding"

At this time, the elevator arrived and the two walked out of it.

"Then Jingyi, you should go to bed early. Good night."

In front of the elevator, Lin Li lowered his eyes and looked at Zhang Jingyi.

"You too, Ali. Good night."

Zhang Jingyi also looked up at him, trying hard to suppress the reluctance in her heart.

"Go."

Lin Li pursed his lips to signal Zhang Jingyi to go first, with a faint smile in the corner of his eyes.

"See you."

Zhang Jingyi nodded, looked at Lin Li deeply, then turned and walked away.

"The next step is Ye Zi."

Lin Li watched Zhang Jingyi leave and muttered to himself.

After returning to the room, Zhang Jingyi hung her windbreaker in the closet, then she stretched out her limbs and fell straight onto the bed.

Senior Zhou Ye also knows that Ali and Xiaotian are together, but she still gets along with him like friends, so there is no problem with Ali and I getting along like this now, right?
That should be right, right?

Zhang Jingyi stared at the ceiling blankly, thinking absentmindedly.

Recalling today when Lin Li praised her for having a pair of loving eyes, her face couldn't help but turn red.

Are my eyes really that beautiful?

Suddenly, she remembered something, picked up the phone thrown aside, and quickly found the photo of herself and Lin Li in the album.

The more she looked at it carefully, the more she felt that Lin Li’s smile was one of doting, right?

Well, gentle and doting.

She affirmed.

What was he thinking? Was he indulging his best friend, or was he treating me like a younger sister, or maybe…

Zhang Jingyi shook her head and dared not think about it anymore.

After a little thought, she sent the photo to Lin Li. When she saw Lin Li quickly reply with a "received", she smiled happily.

For some unknown reason, she sent this photo to Zhou Ye.

She remembered the last time Zhou Ye brought her snacks, and she felt that if she sent this photo to her, she would be very happy, right?

Imagining the possible reaction Zhou Ye would have after seeing the photo, Zhang Jingyi's little face showed happy dimples.

Why am I inexplicably in a good mood?
Senior Zhou Ye, I also scored a goal!

Hum! ——

The next day, Beijing.

In the early morning, it started to drizzle.

Zhou Ye was awakened by a burst of cool air. He opened his eyes dazedly and looked around, and found that the window of the dormitory was not closed tightly.

"Ah~"

While yawning, Zhou Ye stood up and walked to the window and closed it tightly.

I took a look and saw that it was gray outside, so I prepared to go back to bed to check the exact time and consider whether I should take another nap.

I took out my phone and opened it. Hmm, it’s just past six o’clock. No rush. I can still sleep a little longer.

Zhou Ye threw his phone away, crawled into the quilt, and closed his eyes again.

Suddenly, she opened her eyes wide, quickly fumbled for her cell phone and opened it to take a look.

Unread message, Zhang Jingyi?
Why did she message me?

When I click into the chat software, is there a picture?
Why are you sending me pictures?
When he clicked into the chat interface again, Zhou Ye's pupils shrank and his breathing became heavier.

When clicking on the photo, Lin Li with a gentle and doting smile and Zhang Jingyi with a confused look on her face come into view.

Zhou Ye's fair face turned ashen and his eyes were cold, as if there was an invisible anger burning in him.

He held the phone tightly in both hands, as if trying hard to control his emotions.

"Zhang Jingyi!"

The trembling voice seemed to be squeezed out from between teeth, and it was extremely cold.

"What's wrong, eh?"

"What the hell are you yelling about so early in the morning?!"

Her two roommates were disturbed by her voice and started to grumble in dissatisfaction.

"Ah, it's okay."

"I was sleepy, you guys continue to sleep."

Zhou Ye quickly put away his expression and explained embarrassedly.

After he no longer heard his roommate's voice, Zhou Ye turned his gaze back to the photo, with two flames of anger dancing in his eyes.

You are so good, Zhang Jingyi, you are secretly exerting your strength behind my back, right?
And what's wrong with Ali? That look? That smile?

Are you sure your smile is innocent?

But last time you were with me...

Zhou Ye recalled the eye contact between Lin Li and him on the sofa in Lin Li's office. She felt that Lin Li must like her!

But what about this Zhang Jingyi?

She must have taken the initiative! Yes, she must have!

After some analysis, Zhou Ye came up with the most likely explanation.

Yes, it seems that Ali has never made his significant other public, so he probably has never been in a relationship.

No wonder he could resist kissing me the last time we did that, turns out he was shy.

Yes, that must be the case!

This time he went to the mountain city to select a location for our new movie, and then he stopped by to visit the Fengquan crew, where he met Zhang Jingyi.

Then Zhang Jingyi was particularly proactive, and Ali was bewitched by her, so...

Oops! Zhou Ye, why couldn't you take the initiative last time?
I'm so angry. Zhang Jingyi took advantage of me!
No, next time I must be more proactive when getting along with Ali. Ali must have never been in a relationship, so he is rather shy and doesn’t know how to take the initiative.

But I have no experience? No, no, I need to watch some idol dramas and romantic movies during this period to learn how to seduce boys.

Why do you feel something is not right?
After some analysis and imagination, Zhou Ye decided to take the initiative to attack Lin Li.

But I don't know why, I always feel like something is wrong, but what exactly is wrong?

There were several question marks on Zhou Ye’s little head, and a hint of confusion appeared on his fair and delicate facial features.

-

mountain city.

Why do so many film and television dramas choose to be filmed in mountain cities?

Standing on a steep escalator, Lin Li put his hands on his hips and thought about this problem breathlessly.

Beside him, Wang Bao remained expressionless, while Gao Wen rarely showed a tired look.

After last night's experience and a morning of walking around, he had a rough idea in mind.

The temperament of this mountain city is suitable for three types of movies: literature and art, literary and commercial, and urban crime.

These three types can be broken down into many possibilities for storytelling.

The mountain city has such a strong urban temperament that wherever the camera is placed, the style of the entire film is basically determined.

In terms of photography and narrative, the first thing that comes into play in a movie is "space". Geological space is particularly important, as it determines the pre-determined tone of the picture.

In addition, the level of urban construction in the mountain city makes it impossible to shoot urban fashion dramas, and most of the dramas on TV are urban fashion dramas, except for ancient costumes and anti-Japanese war dramas.

When watching fashion dramas, the vast majority of audiences across the country tend to prefer dramas set in Beijing, the magical capital.

A simple example is, can the cases handled by a lawyer working in Guomao CBD and a lawyer working in Jiefangbei be of the same level?

The elite image is gone, so what's the point of filming a fashion drama?
Just like The Devil Wears Prada can only be in New York, not Detroit.

The 3D geography of the mountain city can give birth to countless events. Do you think you are on the roof? Wrong, you are underground.

Just like the screenwriters of Lost in Hong Kong, they stayed in Hong Kong for a long time and wandered around the streets every day.

By intuitively feeling the streets, you can imagine the possible stories that could happen.

But unlike many filming locations that serve as backdrops, the temperament of the mountain city is naturally integrated into every story.

It itself carries a sense of brokenness and lingering. Under the lingering haze of Chongqing, it has the texture of a veil of love, while also taking into account hesitation and struggle.

It makes people believe that the core of the black humor story is like the mountain city itself, with countless foreshadowings and coincidences intertwined, stretching into many densely packed story lines in a three-dimensional space, ending with each other.

It makes people believe that the frustration of ordinary people can sometimes make them great heroes.

In the dilapidated alleys, in the scattered spaces, the air that is always moist belongs to people with warm edges and corners. They suppress their worries again and again, but still want to take advantage of their youth. I want to be willful.

The mountain city has many large overpasses, tall buildings, and small alleys, like a maze.

Placing the characters here gives them a sense of being unable to escape from this place, which helps to present the inescapable melancholy of adolescence.

After all, only in the mountain city could Wei Lai roll down such high steps, right?

Thinking of this, Lin Li found it quite interesting.
