The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 544 I'll buy it for you

Those who are involved in art inevitably have rich emotions.

Many people have too much emotion, but they put it in the wrong place. In the end, it overflows, spills over, and spreads too much, inevitably leading to a messy ending.

Lu Nanting, however, is the kind of person who infuses his emotions into his works.

This made him a very talented and extremely prolific musician.

He enjoys writing songs; he writes when inspiration strikes or when he's in the mood. Sometimes, he'll even write down the melodies from his dreams after waking up, waiting to perfect them someday.

Therefore, his songs are always very close to his state of mind and his life.

To understand him, people only need to listen to his singing.

For a musician, this is the ultimate talent.

This sets him apart from other artists; he's truly a breath of fresh air in the entertainment industry.

For this reason, fans often secretly call him a "lifestyle singer".

The unique experience of following a star makes fans inevitably have an extra layer of affection for him.

Gu Lanxi was suddenly given the role, and not to mention that he would have to film for at least two months, he now had to work in a factory for a month to prepare for the role. This was a huge blow to him.

In particular, this September is a very special month for him.

Gu Lanxi's birthday is on September 8th. Due to this unexpected arrangement, all birthday celebration plans were canceled. He wanted to see his wife, but he had to follow the living standards of the female lead in his next drama so as not to spoil her mood, which made Lu Nanting even more unable to accept it.

A film takes a lot of effort and time from preparation to release.

Generally speaking, actresses of similar status to Gu Lanxi have their film contracts negotiated well in advance, and many of them have their work schedules booked one or two years in advance.

Gu Lanxi, however, preferred a quick and efficient collaboration approach.

A production can be repeatedly negotiated, dragging on for a year or two without reaching an agreement, or it can be in the works for a long time without any problems, causing delays in filming. No matter how much effort is put into it, the root of the problem usually comes down to investment.

Gu Lanxi basically doesn't invest in film and television, so no matter how good a script is, she will decisively reject it.

After all, movies that are not favored by capital but still manage to break through and make a fortune are extremely rare.

From a probabilistic standpoint, someone with many choices won't bet on these uncertainties.

Just like Gu Lanxi, who never expected to get rich through the lottery.

In addition, she also required the filming process to be efficient enough to avoid wasting her time.

And after filming wraps, it will be released as quickly as possible.

This requires the main creators of the production team to be highly capable, and the post-production publicity and distribution to keep up as well.

To ensure that her goals can be achieved, she is very selective about scripts and conducts a comprehensive analysis of all aspects of the production team. Once the contract is signed and filming has officially begun, and there is no way to give up on the project, she will step in to clear away any troubles for the production team.

Of course, the latter situation should be avoided if possible.

In addition, she is emotionally stable and rarely loses her temper. She is serious about her work and never takes on multiple projects at once. Once she finishes filming one project, she focuses on that project. She never jumps into another project immediately after finishing one, but gives herself enough time to get back into character before starting anything else.

Therefore, even if she has high standards, she will always be the first choice if there is a suitable role for her.

Some ambitious teams will even create scripts specifically for her and then eagerly send them over for her to see.

If she takes a liking to you, then, putting everything else aside, the review process won't even be blocked.

This is word of mouth.

Everyone in the industry knows that Gu Lanxi is more selective about scripts than an ancient emperor is about choosing his concubines.

Lu Nanting rationally knew that it was quite rare for Gu Lanxi to encounter a role she liked. Moreover, this arrangement was for work purposes and did not involve anything else. His wife still loved him, cared for him, and thought about him all the time.

He knew he should be considerate, understand his partner's career aspirations, and learn to console himself, trying not to cause trouble for her.

But he still can't do it in a short time.

Separation anxiety, unfulfilled expectations, sadness, grief, longing, worry...

Complex emotions tormented him every moment.

While eating, I wondered, what did my wife eat today?
While on the train, I wondered if my wife would be recognized and cornered, then someone would take turns petting her like a scruffy puppy.
As I lay in bed, I wondered if there were cockroaches in her rented room.
……

So when recording a variety show, the host asked the guests to perform impromptu to let the audience guess what they were thinking. He picked up his guitar and sang a few lines.

The production team set up this segment to highlight his extraordinary musical talent and to promote him, but unexpectedly, this slip-up inadvertently revealed Gu Lanxi's whereabouts.

Although the concept of "South" is very broad, and the lyrics don't reveal much specific information, the director still quickly called for a pause.

"Everyone is tired. Let's rest for ten minutes first. Teachers, please have some water and something to eat, and then touch up your makeup."

The show was pre-recorded, and the audience was mostly professional viewers from the station. They were all incredibly excited when they heard Lu Nanting sing those songs because they all took out their phones and secretly recorded the performance. As soon as the director yelled "cut," they knew that this part would probably not be included in the final cut, and the cheering immediately stopped.

Lu Nanting paused for a moment, then realized something was wrong and immediately stopped.

After a little thought, I understood the director's intention.

With the connection he built from his previous work on "Walking with Love," and with the street dance variety show that's almost ready to start, he's practically Hunan TV's darling right now.

Another point is that Ma Hongfei only made a fuss about them before, but they didn't really break off relations completely. Gu Lanxi seemed calm and indifferent on the surface, but in reality, she turned around and ruined several of their endorsements, and even caused them to lose several leading roles, so that now they can only play the second male lead in TV dramas to try to make a comeback.

Anyone in the industry who knows the truth is terrified.
The director wished he could treat this big sieve like a god, just hoping he wouldn't say anything he shouldn't.

He couldn't handle it if he really angered the lioness in his house.

After a ten-minute break, Lu Nanting sang another song, without mentioning Gu Lanxi again. However, someone who had sneaked in thought this was a big scoop and posted the secretly recorded video on a secondary account that night.

When the director discovered the problem, he immediately deleted it from the entire internet. However, as a long-running program, he wasn't the only one in charge, and with so many people involved, it was inevitable that their voices wouldn't be unified.

Some people disagree, feeling that this is a windfall of popularity and they shouldn't miss out.

They dare not openly offend people, but they can easily trip people up in secret.

So, they were only half an hour late in carrying out the full-network deletion, and the video was already spread everywhere.

For a time, the entire internet was focused on finding Gu Lanxi.

Fans from the north flocked to the south, while southern fans went out every day hoping to bump into Lu Nanting. Paparazzi were constantly watching Lu Nanting, wondering what Gu Lanxi had been up to since she hadn't made any public appearances lately. It's worth noting that Gu Lanxi's last public appearance was on August 18th, at a fan meeting.

It's been more than two weeks, and there's still no sign of anything happening.

Although Gu Lanxi has always been an eccentric actress who isn't very proactive in her work, her long period of silence, coupled with her partner's expression of intense longing for her, clearly indicates that the two are not together.

Given Gu Lanxi's personality, why doesn't she go to work to earn money or have a proper relationship? What has she been up to?

Netizens instantly turned into Sherlock Holmes, spouting conspiracy theories all day long, forcing the studio to issue daily denials.

My artist did not secretly go to have a pregnancy; my artist is doing very well, is perfectly healthy, and is completely safe; my artist did not evade taxes or abscond, and her studio has always been a AAA taxpayer...

The internet was abuzz with all sorts of bizarre topics, leading many to suspect that Gu Lanxi had too much money and spent all her time buying trending topics.

In fact, in order to suppress the heat, the public relations budget was burned like crazy, which made Gu Lanxi so angry that she ignored her big lousy husband for two days.

No one could have imagined that at this critical moment, Gu Lanxi would settle down and work at the factory, going to get off work and leaving on time every day, becoming a tailor on the assembly line.

"Young people are quick and efficient; Xiaolin learns very fast."

Faced with the group leader's praise, Gu Lanxi smiled and said thank you in Chaoshan dialect.

"It's all thanks to Sister Li's dedicated teaching."

She is now Lin Jiayi, eighteen years old, who just came from Chaozhou to stay with her cousin. She is young, pretty, has a sweet tongue, and is very filial.

She went to work in the factory not only to support herself, but also to send money home to help ease the burden on her parents, because she was the eldest sister in the family.

She rents a place in a dilapidated urban village and rides a used electric bike to and from get off work every day. Her pink helmet is brand new. Despite her young age, she is very good at taking care of herself and the people around her. She has only been there a few days, but she has already become familiar with a group of coworkers, and everyone likes her.

Not only do people work with her every day, but after get off work, her coworkers who live nearby also invite her to go to the market to buy groceries. They even help her bargain because they know she might be shy.

Gu Lanxi carefully experienced the daily work of a female garment factory worker. Every day when she returned to her residence, she would diligently study pattern making and garment manufacturing.

To distinguish between different fabrics, I even made several baskets of sample books at home, and I would take them out to touch them whenever I had free time.

After being so busy for several days, I realized that Lu Nanting had been ignored by her for several days.

I had planned to ignore him for two days to let him know I was angry, but I've accidentally exceeded that time limit.

He doesn't answer the phone. When asked, his staff and housekeeper only said that he eats on time every day and is either writing songs at home or in the recording studio.

With September 6th approaching, Gu Lanxi quietly increased his allowance, giving him an extra five thousand yuan each month.

I thought to myself, "Surely you're calm now?"
He did answer the phone, but he still didn't talk much, just mumbled "uh-huh" or "oh-oh-oh."

Gu Lanxi explained, and seeing him recklessly flirting with death, she smiled and asked:

Is there anything you want to buy? I'll buy it for you.

"I want two grapefruits."

Gu Lanxi assumed he was taking it easy and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Most domestic pomelos don't ripen until after October, so good ones are hard to find right now. Gu Lanxi specially asked her uncle Zhang to get her some imported ones.

Thinking that he had many relatives and friends at home, and that it was a rare opportunity for him to make a special trip, he delivered a few extra baskets so that the child could use them as a favor.

The next morning, Lu Nanting, thinking that the message had been delivered, got up early and disguised himself, planning to go to Guangzhou to celebrate his wife's birthday.

Before I even left the house, I received several baskets of pomelos.

Well, this idiot really thinks he wants to eat this stuff!
I gritted my teeth and sent her a message: "Boss is so generous!"

Seeing that he sent several thumbs-up emojis, Gu Lanxi assumed he was finally happy and replied: "I'm glad you like it."

Afterwards, she even sent him her own cute emoji.

Lu Nanting had no choice but to sigh and lay bare his romantic thoughts:

[Hey, what I really wanted to say was, "I want to see you!"]

Gu Lanxi was eating porridge with stir-fried vegetables when she received the message. Thinking about what she had done, she couldn't help but blush with embarrassment!
This must be the legendary flirtatious wink given to a blind man!

It rained over the weekend, making it inconvenient to go out. Staying at home all day was a terrible experience.

I wanted to stay in peace and quiet, so I changed rooms several times, but my clingy friend always came over and clung to me.

It's getting cold, and it's okay to cuddle if you really want to, but it just doesn't have a mouth.

They won't leave, won't talk to me, and don't care whether I want to be alone or not.

What I hate most is that there are two little ones who insist on squeezing into the middle.

Then the three of them started arguing.

The question of who should hold me, who I should hold, and who should lie between us has caused the ship of family affection to capsize at any moment.

My youngest son, my only daughter, my dad who's worked hard all week—everyone felt special and stared at me, asking who I wanted to sit next to.

I just want to be alone, really, my head just went blank and felt like it had gotten three times bigger.

I love that young master is so talkative, he says whatever comes to mind.

So, while both are clingy, Lu Nanting can talk about Gu Lanxi, while Juan Wang is only fit to talk about a hot-tempered Tyrannosaurus Rex like me.

I got scolded by the kids.

They're always so serious about studying, so I told them to play more and that I'm a terrible student and shouldn't follow my example.

I told them that I used to always get first place in exams, and that during exams, the teachers would make me move my desk outside the classroom to take the exams so that others wouldn't copy my papers. They didn't believe me and said that I was being naughty and that I should admit it.

I felt extremely ashamed that the King of Roll laughed himself to death.

The bad mood persists.
