The sweetest in the entertainment industry

To outsiders, every awards ceremony is a lively affair, regardless of the event.

The dazzling red carpet looks, the hotly debated award winners, and the details of the conversations between the artists throughout the event...

Both can attract attention.

But for people in the industry, it's just work.

In fact, many people still consider it a very tough job.

Socializing with a bunch of people you barely know, maintaining proper posture while sitting for long periods, anxiously waiting for awards to be announced, enduring a series of shady interviews, performing or watching others perform...

You can't scratch an itch, you have to cover your mouth when you speak, and managing your facial expressions is of utmost importance...

The whole process is pretty much the same every time, just different names for the same thing.

The monotony is only one aspect; facing the camera for extended periods is another challenge.

Male celebrities are a little better off, but female celebrities have to go hungry if they wear any form-fitting clothes for fear of their bellies protruding and looking bad.

She even dared not drink too much water because her skirt was too big, making it inconvenient to go to the toilet.

In this industry, everyone understands the true value of the saying "As long as you have a face, you can maintain your position." Without absolute strength and without being prepared for a complete transformation, no one dares to neglect body management.

Young artists, in particular, have younger fans who care even more about their appearance.

To avoid being photographed looking bad, you have to practice your walking posture and be careful when sitting to avoid developing a double chin or a "spare tire"...

Gu Lanxi didn't like such restrictive occasions, but she had no choice; she wanted every trophy, so she had to dress up beautifully as usual.

If you come, you might get it; if you don't come, you basically have no chance.

Chen Lei is very popular, and the organizers invited her to be an award presenter this time in order to generate buzz. She also needs such a platform to let brands see her commercial value, so she wore clothes and jewelry borrowed from the brand tonight and dressed up beautifully.

Once inside, he changed out of his red carpet outfit and started talking to Gu Lanxi, making no attempt to hide his true feelings.

Gu Lanxi found her annoying, but she couldn't exactly pour boiling water on her own cash cow, so she had no choice but to sneak back backstage before the party started.

Because she might win an award, she needed to take some time to go back and change into a different outfit.

When celebrities attend events, they are essentially on display from head to toe. Their red carpet looks are more distinctive in order to generate buzz, but when they go on stage to receive an award, they need to change into a more elegant and dignified gown.

As a result, when a group of people saw her, they were like wheat ears seeing chicken blood, quickly gathering around her, all smiling, as if they had endless things to say.

Gu Lanxi was a respectable person, and in front of a large crowd, she couldn't bring herself to ignore people, so she had to stop and deal with it.

She was already very popular, and people fawned over her wherever she went.

It was fine before, but she had never signed anyone under her management, and when people contacted her privately, she always acted distant. At most, people would come over to say hello and get acquainted with her.

Not long ago, she not only solved Chen Lei's problem, but also got the person signed. In everyone's mind, her status is completely different.

When Chen Lei had a falling out with her agency, people in the industry thought her career was over. Many of her rivals had even prepared articles to smear her, just waiting for the right moment to launch a vicious attack.

As a result, she became involved with Gu Lanxi.

Although Gu Lanxi never liked to show off, and Chen Lei didn't dare to tell anyone, the industry was small. As soon as she chose a script, the relevant staff spread the news.

In the next two or three years, all the best scripts will be sent to Chen Lei for her to choose from.

Because there were so many, she locked herself in her house for three days and three nights to choose.

The selected scripts were shown to Gu Lanxi for review, and they were all signed the next day.

Just when I thought I was about to run out of acting opportunities, I'm about to seamlessly jump into new projects, all of which are high-quality productions.

Anyone in the same profession would be envious. In the middle of the night, they'd be pinching their nails off and grinding their teeth to powder, okay?

Having finally seen Gu Lanxi, how could he not desperately kiss her?

Let alone calling her "big boss," if it weren't for her young age and the fear of upsetting her, someone would have called her "godmother" on the spot.

It's alright inside, there are cameras everywhere, even live cameras, so everyone cares about their image. But backstage, it doesn't matter.

When your biological father isn't supportive and you're too ashamed to ask a godfather, being thick-skinned is definitely a good thing.

Gu Lanxi only befriends people who are of great value to her or people she gets along with. Those who try to curry favor with her are all trying to climb the social ladder; they are completely unrelated to her.

Gu Lanxi would naturally refuse an invitation from a group of people who were not interested in skiing, skateboarding, or hiking.

In fact, over the years, she has seen many men and women who have openly or secretly tried to be sexually exploited by her, and she has seen too many of them trying to please her. She is quite adept at dealing with them.

After exchanging a few words with the crowd, he immediately followed the staff to his private lounge.

Lu Nanting had just changed her clothes and hadn't even had time to do her hair when she learned that she was coming. She quickly led her people to hide next door.

Zhou Sinian happened to be next door, and upon learning that he wanted to give Gu Lanxi a surprise, he quickly invited her in.

Fearing that Gu Lanxi would notice something was wrong, he even sent someone to keep watch at the door.

Lu Nanting, on the other hand, was quite calm. He came in, found a chair, sat down comfortably, and let the stylist do his hair.

He had just changed into a shiny retro gray suit. His personal stylist knew his thoughts perfectly, knowing that he not only wanted to give Gu Lanxi a surprise today, but also to assert his dominance. The stylist put a lot of effort into the styling.

The door next door opened and closed again. A short while later, Lu Nanting heard his personal phone ringtone. He picked it up and saw that Gu Lanxi had sent a message complaining about being blocked earlier and how annoying it was to deal with. He couldn't help but smile broadly.

You need to learn to say no. I'll teach you how to become aloof and unapproachable.

Next door, Gu Lanxi finished reading the message, sat down, and couldn't help but smile, saying nothing more.

I asked about his return flight, said I would pick him up, and asked a few more questions about the concert's wrap-up. After learning that everything went smoothly, I sent him a "Missing you.JPG" message, locked my phone, and handed it to Mei Xue.

The dress was a pearl-white, heavily embellished fishtail gown, with hand-set pearls that shimmered with a lustrous sheen. Combined with the fabric's own sparkling shine, it was extremely dazzling under the lights.

After changing into a dress and a pair of light blue fluorescent high heels, Gu Lanxi finally put on the glass-type sky blue jade crown that had been escorted by a special person.

The crown features a teardrop-shaped jadeite as its main element, complemented by sparkling diamonds. It appears quite simple, but anyone with eyes can tell that this thing must be incredibly expensive.

The awards for tonight have already been decided. She had already received confirmation before coming. Walking the red carpet is fine, but when it comes to accepting the award, she doesn't intend to give any brand any special treatment.

Lu Tai acquired this extremely rare raw stone in his early years, and invited top designers to design it and the best craftsmen to process it into a complete set of jewelry.

The raw stone was so large that, in addition to the crown, there was a necklace, two earrings, a brooch, a ring, and a pair of bracelets.

Aside from the round bracelet which uses traditional techniques, the other jewelry pieces, while employing traditional patterns in their design, draw inspiration from Western court craftsmanship, resulting in a more fashionable and trendy look.

Because the color was too light, and Mrs. Lu's wish to have a daughter had been dashed, it remained untouched in the storeroom.

When the young couple got married last year, this set of jewelry was given to Gu Lanxi by the elderly couple as part of the betrothal gifts.

On such a memorable occasion, she naturally wanted to wear jewelry that held special significance for her.

The couple were separated by a wall, each getting their own hair styled.

Awards were presented one after another, and shows were broadcast one after another. Gu Lanxi changed her clothes and went to the inner venue. At first glance, it seemed that almost everyone with good resources had changed into a suit.

Gu Lanxi smiled, found her seat, and sat down gracefully. (End of Chapter)
