The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 127 Studio

The next morning, Aunt Wang brought ingredients to cook.

Gu Lanxi opened the door quietly, told her to be quiet, and then went back to the master bedroom to wash up and put on makeup.

She was meeting with people from an entertainment studio this morning and several potential MCN professional managers this afternoon, so she changed into a rather formal white suit.

She was applying mascara when she heard a noise and turned around to see Lu Nanting yawning as he walked in.

What are you doing up so early?

She took a nap yesterday afternoon and went to bed early last night, so she was still full of energy when she woke up this morning. Lu Nanting, on the other hand, stayed up until the early hours of the morning before going to sleep.

"I'm going to get my hair and makeup done soon, and then I'll go to the studio to shoot a promotional video."

"Promotional video?"

"The clothes were custom-made by the brand, the watch is for endorsement, and there are also shoes, brooches... From beginning to end, everything that people can see is a business collaboration. Shooting a video to promote the brand also showcases myself, a win-win situation."

Gu Lanxi's job duties do not currently include these, and the studio does not even have a professional business agent, so he explained in more detail.

The two of them currently have no plans to work together, but getting to know each other better is not a bad thing, so Gu Lanxi listened very attentively.

Lu Nanting has high commercial value; every red carpet event is a show for him.

Gu Lanxi wouldn't attend some events because she couldn't find the time, showing a very laid-back attitude. Lu Nanting, on the other hand, would almost always attend in full regalia, looking incredibly handsome and getting praised and trending on social media.

After listening to him, Gu Lanxi nodded and continued applying mascara.

Lu Nanting glanced at it, disliking the effect of her mascara, opened the drawer, took out another one, and handed it to her:
"This one is even better. It creates long, flowing, and defined lashes. It's waterproof and won't smudge on your eyelids. It's recommended by makeup artists and features the latest cutting-edge technology."

Gu Lanxi has a very special temperament. She looks gentle, but also has a faint sense of aloofness. In private, she always maintains a cool and aloof style.

She prefers to go makeup-free when she's resting, but she'll put on light makeup when she's going out to discuss work, so she can look more imposing and give people a sense of pressure, making them hesitant to talk nonsense in front of her just because she's young.

"Oh? Let me take a look."

Gu Lanxi took the mascara, unscrewed it, and saw that the brush head was different. She immediately understood the secret, removed the mascara she had only applied halfway, and reapplied it.

I must say, the results are truly amazing.

Many people have the preconceived notion that men from the North are all rough and unrefined, but this is not the case.

Lu Nanting is a person who pays great attention to his appearance and has excellent taste.

He likes perfume and incense, has his own opinions on makeup, is quite knowledgeable about hairstyles, and also wears nail polish.

After wiping one side, Gu Lanxi put the brush back in and was about to wipe the other half when she suddenly stopped and asked him:
"You have quite a complete set of equipment here?"

It's similar to the apartment in Bihu Tiandi; the bathroom is also quite large.

The dressing table is located to the left after entering the room, with a separate wet and dry area.

There's also a window nearby that lets in natural light, which makes the makeup look more natural.

Gu Lanxi just arrived yesterday and has been busy ever since. There are so many cabinets in the house that she didn't open them all to look inside, and she didn't know that there were cosmetics inside.

Seeing her tone suddenly turn dangerous, Lu Nanting suppressed a laugh:

"What are you thinking? No one else has ever lived in this house except the two of us. These were all bought especially for you, and we didn't even unpack them so you wouldn't overthink it. Look, there's a small refrigerator here, with things that need to be kept at low temperatures. This face mask is really useful for after-sun repair."

Other female celebrities have to bring an assistant to carry their makeup cases when they go out, and they carry all kinds of good skin care products with them.

Gu Lanxi is much more refined than before, but in Lu Nanting's eyes, she is still too rough.

Bringing only a makeup bag is convenient when going out, but it's not convenient to do a proper skincare routine.

This is also why he doesn't like staying in hotels.

Living in your own house means you can have everything you need.

"Hmph, they're quite vigilant."

"Basic qualities of a married man, you flatter me."

There are always people trying to get close to him, but the person he likes is also extremely jealous. He knows exactly how to avoid this kind of risk.

Gu Lanxi calmly applied her mascara, stood up, and opened each cabinet door one by one, unpacking each item. She then pulled Lu Nanting's arm to try on the colors before finally choosing her favorite lipstick. "Look," she said, "doesn't it give me an elite vibe?"

Lu Nanting nodded with a smile, then pulled out a curling iron: "Slightly curl the hair on both sides, creating a natural wave..."

Gu Lanxi sat obediently, waiting for him to finish rolling. She looked at herself in the mirror from left to right, carefully examining herself before nodding in praise.
"Compared to long, straight black hair, it is indeed much more lively. Your aesthetic sense is much better than mine."

Lu Nanting couldn't help but laugh, and after laughing, he curled his hair again.

When I woke up, my unruly hair was neatly tidied up in no time. After applying some products and styling it, it looked surprisingly professional.

When the two of them finished getting ready and came out, they found that breakfast was already on the table.

I had to go out to run errands today, and I was worried that they wouldn't be able to handle the hunger, so Aunt Wang made some fresh pork wontons. Each one had a thin wrapper and a generous filling, with dried shrimp, seaweed, chopped scallions, and a few drops of scallion oil. They looked delicious.

After breakfast, Zhuang Xiaotong and Niu Lili came over with Xiao Chen and Zhang Mingyuan.

"Sister Mei has arranged a meeting room and is already waiting."

Zhuang Xiaotong was in charge of arranging the itinerary, and when she saw that it was almost time, she gave a reminder.

Niu Lili isn't very talkative, but she's very reliable. Today, she's in charge of carrying the laptop bag.
Gu Lanxi put down her spoon and nodded almost imperceptibly.

After telling Aunt Wang that he wouldn't be back for lunch and saying goodbye to Lu Nanting, he stood up, picked up his bag, and followed his two assistants downstairs.

Tomorrow we'll be walking the red carpet, and we already knew there would be an award to win, so all twelve members of the studio came.

Because Xiao Han is a man, his stylist and makeup artist, Gu Lanxi, cannot be used. Both of them are now newly recruited by Mei Xue.

However, the two of them can only handle personal outfits and daily makeup. For important events like walking the red carpet, Gu Lanxi has a studio with whom she has a pleasant working relationship.

Apart from that, the HR, legal, finance, new media operations officer, two public relations personnel, as well as the graphic designer, post-production editor, and photographer are all the same team.

Logically, the logistics staff shouldn't need to come, but Gu Lanxi thought that since they had become her people, they couldn't start working without even meeting them.

A team needs to meet, have a team-building activity, sign employment contracts, and hold a meeting to define everyone's job responsibilities.

Xiao Han's studio is also in Beijing. All everyone needs to do is pack their things, change their office location, and even their social insurance and housing fund contributions can be seamlessly transferred.

Although Gu Lanxi is not in Beijing, she has many capable people under her command, and the office space for her studio has already been rented in the building next to Lu Nanting's studio.

It's all Lu family property; it's really too easy for them to clear out a small building for their daughter-in-law.

The Lujia Industrial Park has very convenient transportation, which has significantly reduced everyone's commute time compared to before. Everyone is quite satisfied with this job change.

After Gu Lanxi finished her activities, she immediately had to return to the remote mountains to continue filming her anti-gangster movie. She didn't have time to go back to Beijing, so everyone treated the trip as a vacation.

Everyone was delighted to see her arrive, and they all stood up and applauded to welcome her to her seat.

Gu Lanxi sat down at the head of the table, nodded, and Mei Xue immediately began to explain her work plan.

After marrying Lu Nanting, it will be impossible to keep a low profile. To avoid being criticized, she can no longer be so sloppy in her daily life.

The stylist is responsible for matching her personal outfits well, the makeup artist is responsible for ensuring that she is not photographed looking haggard or unattractive, the photographer is responsible for following her and filming her daily work activities, and then having the editors make vlogs to release from time to time to retain fans.

As for graphic design, most of the time it's done by photo retouchers, but they rarely actually design promotional materials.

My daily work involves taking all sorts of beautiful photos, processing them, handing them over to new media operations, and posting them on various platforms.

Increase commercial value, attract business collaborations, secure endorsements, shoot magazine covers, and continuously elevate your status to become an increasingly popular superstar.

Mei Xue comes from a public relations background, and the two PR people are her former subordinates. In addition to keeping an eye on Gu Lanxi's daily publicity and guiding the publicity to create a better personal image for her, the three of them also have to take turns monitoring online negative information, preventing negative trending searches, and collecting as much negative information as possible about their rivals...

Although there are a dozen or so people, once the work is assigned, you'll find that everyone has a heavy workload.

This is already the most streamlined lineup that Lu Nanting assembled according to her requirements.

Registration for the phone call activity is now open!
If you're interested, remember to join group 574927951, or search for "33 Degrees Readers Group" and send me your number privately.

Although I know the phone numbers of many of my long-time readers, I still need to let you know, otherwise it would be presumptuous to call directly. What if you're very outgoing online but socially awkward in real life? I'm afraid I'll scare you away.

Valid until the end of your annual leave!
If you want to chat with me, come find me! Otherwise, you'll have to wait until the next Chinese New Year.
