The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 352 Rejection
"While you guys were chatting, I did some research. They encountered so many people on their way north, and many of them took videos and photos and posted them online. I just had someone compile them, so I have an idea..."

Entrusting professional matters to professionals has always been Gu Lanxi's guiding principle.

She collaborates with Mei Xue, and although she often holds the final decision-making power, she is not dictatorial and is quite receptive to Mei Xue's opinions.

"What do you think?"

"I plan to contact the China Daily and interview Yang Shuming. This would be very good for your reputation..."

Previously, Hu Tao, a reporter from China Daily, made a special trip to Kaiyuan County to conduct an exclusive interview with Gu Lanxi because of her rescue of a pregnant woman.

Now that the Yang family has gone north to repay the money, it's like bringing this matter to a satisfactory conclusion.

Compared to one-way giving, mutual support is always more touching. This is something that people all over the country are happy to see, which is very beneficial to her positive image and can greatly enhance her popularity.

It is undeniable that film actors are generally considered to have a higher status than television actors.

Putting aside international fame and artistic merit, in terms of commercial value alone, film actors are more favored by high-end brands, such as luxury goods and automobiles, while television actors are more likely to accept endorsements for cosmetics and fast-moving consumer goods.

However, in terms of national popularity, in this era where television sets are found in every household, the influence of television actors is widespread across all age groups due to the high frequency of exposure of their works. In contrast, the influence of film actors is limited by the low frequency and high frequency of exposure of films, making it more concentrated.

Since her debut, Gu Lanxi has only participated in variety shows once; the rest of the time, she has been acting in movies.

In fact, her popularity among the general public is not as high as that of many top actresses in television dramas.

Many people who don't have the habit of watching movies probably don't recognize her at all.

This can be seen from her advertising invitations.

Those who approach her are mostly dealing with high-end or professional items like electronics, cars, cameras, and camping equipment. Compared to actresses who are big stars in TV dramas, she is much less competitive in the beverage, snack, and daily necessities market.

To compensate for her weaknesses, Mei Xue's strategy was to make her academic star persona as widespread as possible, while also doing more social publicity.

For example, using official media like the China Daily to project a glorious and righteous image is a good choice; in fact, the more times the better.

However, Gu Lanxi shook her head.

“The Yang family are all ordinary people. Too much fame will not benefit them. It may affect their normal lives or even ruin their lives.”

Public opinion is a double-edged sword; if not handled properly, it can backfire and cause significant damage.

She's been in the entertainment industry for several years and has a reliable team, so she's not to be underestimated. The Yang family are cattle and pig farmers in the mountains, and many people are watching them. No one is perfect, so it's inevitable that people will find fault with them. Most netizens don't use their brains when they go online, and they can easily be subjected to cyberbullying.

It is difficult for ordinary people to remain calm under cyberbullying.

Call her cold-hearted or ruthless.

The reason she agreed to the interview and arranged for Mei Xue to interview Yang Shuming was because she had a very bad impression of the family at that time and didn't care whether doing so would have a negative impact on them.

She treated them as tools, solely to enhance her reputation and protect herself, without a shred of remorse.

Because she genuinely disliked this family.

They didn't even spare "Yaozu," who was still an infant.

But it's different now.

There were indeed things about the Yang family's way of doing things that she disliked, but after getting to know them, she found that they weren't entirely without merit.

To be honest, she even regretted her previous rash decision.

Although I don't want to blame it on age, the facts prove that only time can teach her maturity.

Mei Xue was surprised that Gu Lanxi would consider the Yang family's feelings and sighed. She wanted to continue persuading her, but Gu Lanxi checked the time and suddenly changed her mind, deciding to go to the New Year's Eve party to watch Lu Nanting's performance.

“It’s very close to the Workers’ Stadium from here. Since we’re already here, I won’t go home yet. Sister Mei, don’t forget to come and take them to Tiananmen Square tomorrow morning.” Seeing that she didn’t respond, Mei Xue didn’t dare to make a decision on her own and changed the subject as well.

"I'll go back to pick up the child first. We'll stay at this hotel tonight, and then we'll take her to watch the flag-raising ceremony tomorrow morning."

"Row."

Gu Lanxi agreed, then reminded her, "In crowded places, with three children, it's best to bring an extra person, at least one person to watch over each one."

"Okay, don't worry. I'll call Lili. She has no relatives or friends here, and she'll be free tomorrow."

"Okay, don't forget to record triple pay."

"it is good."

“I heard from them that they’ve already bought their tickets for tomorrow. I’m going to Ni Bingyan’s birthday party tomorrow. Could you arrange for someone to take them to the high-speed rail station and also prepare some local specialties for them to take back with them?”

Gu Lanxi thought for a moment and then added, "Make room for those two baskets, fill them with local specialties, and let him carry them back. Prepare some practical items, such as textbooks and school bags for the children, New Year's goods, snacks for the elderly, and supplements for new mothers. It should be thoughtful, but not too expensive, otherwise they definitely won't accept them. The budget should be around three thousand!"

"Yes, I'll definitely do a great job."

Gu Lanxi then drove towards the Workers' Stadium.

There were a lot of people there tonight, so Gu Lanxi asked a friend in the industry for a parking space and then went through the staff entrance to the backstage area.

Lu Nanting's makeup and styling were finished, but she hadn't gone on stage yet, and she was idly playing on her phone.

Gu Lanxi was angry and didn't go to the last concert, and today the New Year's Eve party is right in his neighborhood, but he still won't come. He's actually quite sad.

But thinking that she was currently with his family and would watch his performance on TV after dinner, she managed to calm herself down.

Just before going on stage, the hairstylist gave him a final touch-up, and the makeup artist came over to touch up his makeup.

On such occasions, his bare-faced makeup made his skin look exceptionally good.

"Alright, Teacher Lu, it will be your turn soon."

"Ah."

Lu Nanting handed his phone to Xiao Jiang, stood up, and was about to leave when he saw Gu Lanxi come in, bundled up tightly.

Baseball cap, black face mask, short down jacket, black skinny jeans, and ankle boots.

He had a work badge hanging around his neck, which he had gotten from who-knows-where, and he was holding a camera with the camera strap hanging around his neck.

She looks similar to the stylist.

"Brother, come on!"

As soon as Gu Lanxi entered the room, she said this in a high-pitched voice.

A smile instantly bloomed on Lu Nanting's face.

Gu Lanxi seized the opportunity to take a few pictures, and then boasted to herself, "Sister Xi is indeed too authoritative."

She barged into the backstage area and took close-up photos; which fan site admin has this kind of influence?
Lu Nanting reached out and patted her head, saying "Naughty," as someone outside was already urging them to come.

"Let's go home together later. Do your best, I'm going to the front now."

"Then you can't keep it all to yourself, don't forget to produce the illustrations."

I thought they wouldn't come, but when I was about to go on stage and saw them, I was so surprised and happy. Who can understand that feeling?
