The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 222 Unraveling

Gu Lanxi left the film set and went straight to the airport with her entourage, without even changing out of her costume.

As the saying goes, the weather in February and August is like a child's face, changing in an instant.

It is currently the eighth month of the lunar calendar, and the weather in Kaiyuan County is very changeable. In the afternoon, the sun shines brightly, but by evening, strong winds blow, and by nightfall, large raindrops are being pelted down by the wind.

The car was already on the highway, and raindrops were pattering against the windows.

Gu Lanxi sat in the back seat, with Aunt Wang to her right, peeling a tangerine for her to prevent her nails from getting stained.

"These oranges are high in sugar, and eating too many will make your face turn yellow. You can only eat four at most, don't be greedy."

Knowing that she was in a hurry to pick someone up from the airport, and seeing that a strong wind was blowing in the sky, Aunt Wang calmly put the lid on the thermos, gave her a light coat, and then followed the driver to the film set.

Upon seeing the person, she immediately suggested that the two assistants return to the hotel to rest, while she would accompany them that night.

The two assistants were on edge, and at that moment they wanted to rush up and hug her, as if they were afraid she would break the law. It was really heartbreaking to see.

Gu Lanxi nodded, agreeing to Aunt Wang's arrangement. She instructed her assistant to return to the hotel and then took her to the car.

Aunt Wang already knew what had happened before, and someone had told her what had happened afterward on WeChat.

But she didn't offer any words of comfort; she only cared about whether the girl was cold or hungry.

"I was worried we wouldn't have time for dinner, so I packed it for you. Are you going to eat it now, or later with your husband? If you come at this time, there's probably no food on the plane."

Lu Nanting hadn't arrived yet, and Gu Lanxi didn't want to eat alone, so she waved her hand without saying a word.

Aunt Wang didn't try to persuade her; she simply took out a few tangerines from her pocket.

Gu Lanxi didn't want to eat it at first, but as the orange peel was torn open, a soothing orange peel aroma filled the car.

After she finished peeling the first one, Gu Lanxi silently reached out her hand, wanting to take it.

A cool sensation touched her palm; it was Aunt Wang who had taken out a wet tissue and placed it in her hand.

"She looks quite refined, but she doesn't care about the details of life at all. Compared to your husband, she's miles behind."

Gu Lanxi was in a bad mood, and Aunt Wang kept mentioning Lu Nanting, but only to cheer her up.

Gu Lanxi couldn't help but laugh; her little scheme was obvious at a glance.

"I'm definitely not as meticulous as Brother Ting."

After she wiped her hands clean, Aunt Wang handed her the peeled tangerines.

Gu Lanxi took it, broke off the segments one by one, carefully peeled off the white pith, and then put the segments in her mouth.

That's the downside of being a celebrity; no matter how much you like something, you can't openly show it off.

Gu Lanxi is more meticulous in this regard because she feels that this brings a different kind of satisfaction.

One of them peeled it, and the other ate it.

After the car crossed the dirt road and entered the highway, Aunt Wang finally managed to organize her thoughts:

“You two grew up in different environments, so you shouldn’t compare yourselves. When your husband was a child, if he had a runny nose, someone would hand him a handkerchief or tissues, and even wipe it clean for him. It’s different for you; you can only tug at your sleeve, like that…”

"I didn't do that!!"

"You didn't know, did you? Some haters posted photos of you when you were little online, and your sleeves were so shiny they were reflecting light!"

Gu Lanxi remained silent.

If other families have such a beautiful child, wouldn't they take her to a photo studio to have her picture taken every year as a keepsake?
Her family didn't have a family photo album; they only had photos taken secretly by neighbors.

Some malicious people will wait until she's doing well, then use that to stir up trouble.

I don't know what they were thinking.

"Okay, it's been too long, I can't remember."

That's false.

Aunt Wang laughed.

Seeing that she was embarrassed, he continued:
"When your husband is hungry, there's always a maid to cook him nutritious meals, but you, at such a young age, have to stand on a stool and cook for yourself; his clothes are always new before they're too small, but you're always showing your arms and legs in the cold, and even your school uniform has to be bought for you by your principal..."

Aunt Wang is very tactful and rarely does things like this, having heart-to-heart talks with the host family.

Gu Lanxi listened quietly without interrupting.

"So you're already doing very well. At least now, it's not that you can't afford to be particular, it's just that you're used to it and too lazy to bother. You already have the right to choose."

Seeing that she had slowly finished eating one orange, Aunt Wang handed her another one.

"You are where you are today because you have always known what you want and worked hard for it. When you think about it carefully, external influences are not that important."

Aunt Wang sighed: "That's how adults are. There are bound to be unpleasant things at work. I believe you can understand that it's not the main theme of your life."

Gu Lanxi's strong reaction today was not only because the matter involved her deceased mother, but also because she was performing at the time, and her emotions were following the script. The sudden impact caused her to react that way. Gu Lanxi understood what she was trying to say and couldn't help but chuckle: "Aunt Wang, don't worry about me, I'm fine."

She knew why Gao Yunyi did this.

A man with great ambitions for film is working on a project he has high hopes for, but before he can finish the job, he discovers that there is a time bomb in his brain.

The better she performed, the more she seemed like a lifeline to Gao Yunyi.

In fact, judging awards is far more complex than that.

Gao Yunyi has gone down a dead end and become obsessed.

I don't know why I have so much confidence in her.

Hey!
But she saw things very clearly. She sympathized with Gao Yunyi's plight, but she would never compromise herself because of it.

The most important thing now is how to resolve this issue.

The film is almost finished shooting. If they change the director, the style will be inconsistent. They definitely won't change the director.

But is Gao Yunyi still capable of handling the work ahead?
Let's leave that aside for now.

He's used to being domineering, and sometimes he'll come up with a new idea on a whim. The current producer is clearly not good enough and needs to be replaced.

But the producer is someone from Starlight Media. How can I say this to make my uncle feel more at ease?
The setup inside the doorway in the previous scenes had to be changed. The scene where she stood at the doorway was really good and didn't need to be cut.

When the movie is released, that scene won't be in the main film, but this can be released as a behind-the-scenes story, as a gimmick to increase the movie's popularity.

That shot of hers will become a classic with a compelling story, something people will discuss repeatedly.

At that time, she will definitely be a pitiful little thing and deserve people's sympathy. As for Gao Yunyi, this is all his own choice.

However, we also need to consider his condition. If public opinion has too much impact and harms him, she will definitely not be able to explain herself in the end.

Perhaps we shouldn't release these behind-the-scenes clips...

Anyway, dozens of people in the crew witnessed this, and the prop master did it on the director's orders. The news might have already spread before the movie was even released.

She didn't need to get her hands dirty.

As Gu Lanxi pondered these matters, Aunt Wang said nothing more.

When the car arrived at the airport, Gu Lanxi didn't get out; she only let Aunt Wang go in to pick up the person.

Less than half an hour later, Lu Nanting arrived at the car surrounded by bodyguards.

Gu Lanxi pushed open the car door directly.

The bodyguard got into the passenger seat, the driver started the car, and Aunt Wang and Xiao Jiang got into another car with the other two bodyguards.

The paparazzi kept flashing their lights until the two vans drove away. They immediately got into their own car, told their companions to follow, and then reluctantly checked the photos they had just taken.

The couple had only parted ways in the morning, and Lu Nanting changed his schedule to come over that evening.

They were in such a hurry that they didn't even have time to apply for a VIP pass.

Lu Nanting, with such a large following, dared to go inside the airport to pick her up, while Gu Lanxi only stayed in the car.

Rumors are circulating online that Gu Lanxi had an accident on set, but it's unclear how serious it is.

On the way to school this morning, my daughter suddenly said to me, "Mom, I'll take you to buy flowers tomorrow. You can buy whichever one you like."

I love that domineering CEO tone!
I wish someone would say to me every day, "I'll take you to buy XX."

I asked, "Why did you suddenly decide to buy me flowers?"

My sister said, "Because tomorrow is Mother's Day, and Mom likes flowers, I want you to be happy."

Indeed, money gives a woman courage, even if she is still a girl. Because she owns her own property, she lives with a lot of confidence.

The younger brother has no concept of money, but he's a copycat; his basic rule is to do exactly what his sister does.

Then my younger brother said, "Buy me a bouquet of flowers."

I deliberately made things difficult for him: "But my sister has already given me flowers, I don't want two bouquets!"

The younger brother said, "Let me think about it some more."

haha~
I have two children who are romantic and have a strong sense of ritual!
I just got my hair cut yesterday, and after washing it, it's all frizzy and unruly this morning. It's never the same as before.

I felt pretty good about myself, with a kind of carefree cuteness. But Juanwang tried hard to suppress his laughter, patted me a couple of times, and walked away without saying anything.

I can guess what he was thinking: Wow, what a frizzy dog.

Yesterday, some friends came to Chengdu on a business trip, and I had the pleasure of meeting them and having a meal. They listened to me brag, "I'm so great, my husband would feel like he's missing out if he left me. He's definitely not stupid. That's the secret to a long marriage."

Just laugh as much as you can and say, "Wow, you're so confident!"

Don't they realize that they were so happy just spending a meal with me? My husband lives with me every day, how happy must he be? Hahaha
