The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 179 That's When I Was Thinking of You
Because she took leave for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there were two red carpet events this month that would delay her, Gu Lanxi's daily shooting schedule was extremely full after returning to the film crew.

In order to capture the unique beauty of the scene at dawn, she got up at 4:30 a.m. on the 13th to wash up, ate breakfast and put on makeup by 5:30 a.m., and started filming the first chase scene.

Gao Yunyi is someone who cares a lot about the feeling when filming and is extremely meticulous in his work.

If you don't get it right, you have to do it again. And if you finally get it right, you still have to make sure it's perfect.

To be honest, this is something that can only be understood intuitively and cannot be explained in words.

As for the action scenes, it's alright. At least there's a relatively clear standard. If a move isn't done well the first time, we can practice it a few more times. Gu Lanxi has a background in martial arts, so her performance often exceeds the director's expectations.

Even someone as skilled as Gu Lanxi often struggled to grasp the thoughts behind those complex dramatic scenes, which led Gao Yunyi to frequently pick up a megaphone, stroke his chin, and call "cut" in a cold and ruthless manner.

To reduce the likelihood of this happening, Gu Lanxi, after only a few days on set, figured out Gao Yunyi's habits and began to increase the time she spent communicating with him to ensure that her understanding of the character was accurate enough.

But inspiration sometimes comes unexpectedly while you're shooting.

In particular, when Gao Yunyi discovered that he had been fanciful and asked for 100% results, Gu Lanxi was able to give him 120%!

Not only is he incredibly efficient, but he also remains emotionally stable. Even when he's furious, he never argues with other actors like he does, and they even call him "Old Gao" in private.

Gu Lanxi is the kind of person who, even when angry, can listen to advice from others and calmly make the best choice.

Gao Yunyi particularly appreciated this.

Then, 120% became his daily standard, specifically for Gu Lanxi.

He wasn't deliberately making things difficult for anyone; everything he did was for the sake of the film. You could say he had no selfish motives.

Gu Lanxi had no choice but to adjust herself in accordance with Gao Yunyi's line of thinking.

I've been on set for almost two months, and this has happened more than once.

What she remembers most vividly is the scene where they run through two mountains.

For this reason, many big names in the industry are unwilling to act in Gao Yunyi's plays.

Because it was too painful.

Gu Lanxi wasn't oblivious to the hard work; she was simply very dedicated to filmmaking and had her own artistic pursuits. She was quite pleasantly surprised to encounter such a creative director.

Gao Yunyi adored this precious child!

Ever since filming began, whenever he's interviewed, he always talks about "our Lanxi" and he can't stop once he starts.

Many fans even gave him a nickname because of this, calling him "Old Man Gao".

In his first time directing a film, Gao Yunyi wasn't called "Old Gao" but instead received such a heartwarming nickname. He was in a great mood every day, and even when he encountered stupid people making silly mistakes, he could hold back his roar.

On the 13th, after the chase scene in the early morning, all the scenes were outdoor dialogue scenes.

After filming scene after scene, during her lunch break, Gu Lanxi didn't even go back to the hotel. Instead, she ate the lunch that Aunt Wang brought to the set, then pulled out her usual portable, foldable single wire bed under the shade of a tree, lit a mosquito coil and hung it on the hooks on the bed legs, covered herself with a thin blanket, and lay down to sleep.

When Gao Yunyi inspected the film crew and saw her looking so pitiful, he quickly arranged for staff to quietly set up a sunshade canopy for her.

It blocks the sun, and also blocks paparazzi and paparazzi from the neighboring hills.

After lunch break, we'll continue filming in the afternoon.

As usual, we practiced each game one by one, and if something felt slightly off, we started over immediately.

By the time it got dark, Gu Lanxi was so tired that she didn't even want to talk.

After eating the dinner that Aunt Wang brought as usual, I found a rest room, pulled out my precious wire bed, and lay down on it again.

The crew works day and night, sometimes having to get up in the middle of the night to wait for a scene, and many people face the problem of sleep deprivation.

Gu Lanxi is a person who never suffers internally or makes herself miserable; she always tries to get enough sleep every day.

Other actors usually bring a folding chair to the set, but she always brings an extra single folding bed.

If she gets up too early or goes to bed too late, she doesn't care where she goes. As long as she has time, she'll immediately find a corner to make her bed and sleep anywhere.

Speaking of which, when she first debuted, she had no romantic relationships or scandals for a long time. The paparazzi stared at this pretty young actress all day long, but they couldn't get any good shots. They just wanted to take ugly photos of her sleeping.

The photos that came out were all stunningly beautiful, each one more so than the last.

She was already beautiful, and when she was catching up on sleep on set, she was mostly wearing makeup, which made her look even more stunning.

She lay there obediently, not drooling or grinding her teeth, sleeping peacefully and without any affectation or coquettishness; her expression even carried a touch of childlike naiveté.

It's not for hype or attention-grabbing, and I'm never afraid of rumors; it's just that I'm young and sleepy.

During that time, she attracted a large number of mothers (regardless of gender) who loved her as if she were their own children.

She doesn't have many business engagements, so these fans often come to the film set to see her.

I give her handmade crafts, bring her delicious food, knit her scarves when it's cold, and give her palm-leaf fans when it's hot...

Every time we meet, he affectionately calls her "Xi Bao".

Because her mother passed away early and in a very undignified manner, Gu Lanxi always referred to these people as her older sister fans whenever she mentioned them to others.

On the 13th, after filming the daytime scenes, there was still a nighttime scene waiting for her until 4:30 a.m. on the 14th.

The venue had been arranged in advance, and the more than one hundred extras had rehearsed for several days before the official filming began. Gu Lanxi would not let her own situation affect the entire team.

While the props team was setting up the set, she took the opportunity to sleep for two hours in the lounge.

When she got up, Zhuang Xiaotong told her about the marketing accounts causing trouble.

Lu Nanting's last concert was in progress at the time, so she didn't call. By the time she finished filming and returned to the hotel, it was only five o'clock. Lu Nanting definitely wasn't awake yet at that hour.

After a quick breakfast, she went back to her room to sleep.

I woke up around noon.

Gu Lanxi then dialed Lu Nanting's number.

After several busy days, Lu Nanting was finally able to rest for most of the day, but he was not at peace all morning.

I'm always looking for something to do, but I can't concentrate on anything I do.

When he received the call, he was having lunch, so he described each dish to her in detail.

This was the first time Gu Lanxi had been gossiped about like this. She wanted to explain, but didn't know how to start, so she simply told them about Yang Hongyi.

"He keeps trying to ride on my coattails. I don't know how he's planning to do this. I've basically avoided spending time alone with him these past few days. You know, I'm not the kind of person who likes to chat with people aimlessly..."

Lu Nanting had assumed she was calling to reprimand him, but instead she was coming to apologize. He couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing this.

"Don't overthink it, I'm not stupid. I know you better than anyone. Have you had lunch?"

Gu Lanxi breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on her face: "I filmed all night last night and didn't get back until five o'clock. I just woke up and I don't know what to have for lunch yet!"

"Tattoo artist, don't forget to make an appointment for me. I'll try to find some time to visit you."

"No need, I'll come over and wait for you. Afterwards, we can have dinner together, go shopping or something, and I'll come back the next morning."

"Okay, I'll have Xiao Jiang arrange the itinerary."

After giving a brief explanation, Lu Nanting took the initiative to explain the matter of Weibo.

“When I got home last night, the house was empty, and I suddenly missed you so much. But I have too much work to do, and I have a charity event tomorrow. The relevant departments have been communicating with me for six months in advance, so I really can't postpone it…”

After rambling on and on, I finally asked her, "Did you see the Weibo post I made yesterday?"

Gu Lanxi only found out last night from her assistant that Lu Nanting was trending on social media for being laughed at.

After working for a whole day and night, I got back to the hotel and was eating breakfast when, thankfully, I didn't bury my face in my bowl. How could I possibly have time to check Weibo?

Now that he's asked me about it, I can't help but feel guilty, thinking I haven't shown him enough care, and I'm being a little cautious with my words:

"What did you send? Next time you want to tell me something, just call me or send me a WeChat message. Sometimes I get busy and I really don't notice..."

As I was talking, I switched to Weibo and immediately saw the photo.

Open the comments section, and the top trending topics are all about her photo albums.

The dragon wasn't home, so its treasures were being flaunted, causing a chorus of people to cry out, "I want it! I want it too!!!" while another group assessed the value of each item, discussing its worth and price.

Gu Lanxi had never been this angry before!
I clearly told you long ago to just look at it secretly and not to post it, but you wouldn't listen!

Lu Nanting had just begun to relax when the voice on the other end abruptly stopped.

Well, the dragon was so angry it wanted to breathe fire, and fearing it might say something irreversible, it hung up the phone.

I took Er Mao to get vaccinated this morning, and afterwards I bought him a bag of candy to cheer him up.

He said he wanted to take it home and eat it with his sister.

When they got home, the older sister immediately took out two lollipops, saying that she had gone out with her grandmother that morning and bought two. She was thinking that her younger brother had been in pain after getting a shot, so she waited for him to come home so they could eat them together.

It feels so heartwarming.

On the way home, when he said he was going to take the candy home to share with his sister, I felt very sorry for him. I said that I don't have a younger brother and sometimes I feel very lonely. I envy them both.

Then my younger brother said, "Don't envy others, we all love you."

The female driver couldn't help but laugh as she listened to our conversation.

Although she occasionally acts out and makes me so angry I stomp my feet, she's also really sweet and heartwarming.

The most important purpose of raising children is not to provide for old age, but to experience the companionship and love between each other during the process.

The next week will be very busy.

The house is too messy, so I need to do a seasonal decluttering and a thorough cleaning. The kids grow several centimeters taller every year, so I need to buy all their clothes, pants, and shoes new.

Er Mao needs to complete various procedures for starting school.

We need to buy all sorts of things.

We also need to wash his school uniform and blankets.

Both children have parent-teacher conferences...

Just thinking about it gives me a headache.

Things will get much better once everything gets back on track next week.

I'm really annoyed by how much I write; I've spent the entire holiday organizing, and there's still at least a third left.

But I can't help it; I just want to talk about things whenever they happen.

haha~
The small sun continued to radiate heat.

With the warm spring and summer just around the corner, I feel like my whole being is improving.

Of all the seasons, I dislike winter the most; I can't stand the cold!
