The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 167 Running All the Way

Lu Nanting made a fool of himself and then ran away. Gu Lanxi couldn't do anything to him over such a trivial matter.

She was scheduled to go on stage that evening, and she had to rehearse from beginning to end that afternoon. Fearing that something might happen on stage, she took her suona to the rehearsal room to continue practicing.

Virgos are probably all a bit like this. Gu Lanxi is a very detail-oriented and perfectionist person. She would never allow herself to make the slightest mistake on such a big stage.

Even if it's her first time on stage and she has every reason to make a mistake, it's still not acceptable.

The lounge and rehearsal room are diagonally opposite each other. Lu Nanting was peeking warily from the door frame.

Gu Lanxi glared at him irritably, but said nothing and went into the rehearsal room.

When out in public, it's important to give a man enough face; she's not naive about that.

Moreover, even in private, she is not a bad-tempered person, and there is no question of bullying or not bullying.

Lu Nanting quickly pulled his head back.

Then he saw the band members standing behind him, speechless: "Is it really necessary? Miss Gu is such a gentle person, why is she so afraid?"

Lu Nanting said smugly, "I'm just worried she'll be unhappy, not because of anything else."

Everyone shushed him, then ignored him and found places to lie down and rest.

Lu Nanting was worried, and as soon as he pushed open the door to the rehearsal room, he saw Gu Lanxi stop: "You rest well, I'll be there in a bit."

"Yes, don't overtrain. If you get too tired, it will interfere with your performance."

"I know what I'm doing. You go and rest first. I'll have my assistant call you when the guests arrive."

After exchanging a few words, Lu Nanting closed the door for her and returned to his own lounge.

I set the alarm, closed the door, and then lay down to sleep.

About half an hour later, Xiao Jiang woke up Lu Nanting and then came over to inform Gu Lanxi:
"Boss, Teacher Han is almost here. The boss wants us to go to the door and wait ten minutes early."

Lu Nanting has only been in the industry for a little over two years and has released three albums with a total of 36 songs. Even if you include the singles, there are only a little over 40 songs. It would be easy for him to put on a 3-hour concert, but if he keeps doing concerts one after another, he will be a little short of resources.

Moreover, it's unrealistic for one person to sing continuously for three hours.

Therefore, he invites many guest performers to each concert to relieve pressure, expand the influence of the concert, enrich the musical style, enhance stage interaction, improve the performance level, and give the audience a better viewing experience.

Lu Nanting invited five guests to this event.

There are comedians with whom I have a good relationship, veteran singers, other popular young male stars, and even has-been singers from the company...

Everyone else is one thing, but Teacher Han, as the final guest, has a high status in the industry and deserves the respect he deserves.

It's essential to get to the entrance early and wait there.

Gu Lanxi understood immediately, quickly put away the suona, went out the door, handed it to Mei Xue, and walked away.

Have the other teachers arrived?

"Not yet. As you know, Teacher Han, you always have excellent professional ethics. You always arrive early for work."

"Ah."

Lu Nanting was waiting at the corner. When he saw her come out, he immediately reached out his hand.

Gu Lanxi grasped his hand without hesitation and hurriedly followed him outside.

Lu Nanting's first world tour concert was recorded by a dedicated filming team for each show.

These materials are needed for editing promotional videos, and also for making commemorative DVDs later.

Gu Lanxi was already used to the presence of the camera and didn't even glance at it. She looked extremely relaxed and showed no signs of tension.

Today, she and Lu Nanting wore matching outfits, both in different colors.

The bright golden sun-protective clothing, paired with a white T-shirt, green shorts, and white sneakers, along with a high ponytail, makes her look energetic and very attractive.

And you know what? Dressed like this, the two of them looked exceptionally well-matched walking together.

The two arrived at the door and waited under the parasol for a while before a car drove up.

Teacher Han is chubby and has a kind smile. She waved to Gu Lanxi when she saw her.

Because Gu Lanxi does not currently have her own charitable foundation, we basically donate money and goods to her every year for tax planning purposes.

Adult friendships are often not as pure as they were in youth. This is especially true in the entertainment industry, where relationships are often intertwined with interests.

Lu Nanting is known as the "Prince of Stars". He was supported by bigwigs in the entertainment industry from the very beginning of his career. He is also quite talented and has always had excellent resources. Otherwise, he could not have achieved his current status in just over two years.

But in front of Teacher Han, he was not as popular as Gu Lanxi.

The five guest performers for this concert were all carefully selected, with excellent character and no scandals, making them suitable for working together as "friends".

In the entertainment industry, genuine friendships do exist, but they are extremely rare.

If two friends who used to have a very good relationship suddenly become estranged, it must be because the one who became estranged has triggered a major incident, and the relationship could collapse at any time.

The two picked up the person and chatted happily all the way. They soon arrived backstage, escorted the person to the dressing room, and then two other senior actors arrived one after the other.

These two individuals weren't as influential as Teacher Han, but they still came to the door to greet him.

Others won't receive this treatment.

Because those people who come either want to mutually benefit from Lu Nanting's popularity or simply want to ride his coattails to elevate their own status, they don't need to act so humble at all.

"Next time you're going to perform as a supporting actor for someone else, you should go earlier!"

The seniors had all arrived, but the younger ones were nowhere to be seen.

It has to be said that there's a reason why they've remained popular for so long.

"Ah."

When they got to a crowded place, Lu Nanting started acting all aloof again. Gu Lanxi found it amusing, glanced at him, took his arm, and whispered in his ear:

"You're trying to be cool again!"

"No, I'm cool."

"Then why are you pretending in front of me?"

“That’s different; that’s a genuine expression of emotion.”

"Hey~~~ Don't say things like that all the time! Say them when you get home."

"Tsk, is she shy?"

"No, absolutely not!"

"Then when I go on stage tonight, I'll grab the microphone and shout—"

"Brother, I'm shy."

"Ha ha!"

The cameraman ran all the way, afraid of missing a single line.

It's already Mid-Autumn Festival, but I still ran around until my feet were sweaty. Even though I was wearing socks, my shoes were still making a squeaking noise.

Gu Lanxi wasn't incapable of speaking, but she was lazy. Often, if she felt it wasn't necessary, she wouldn't say anything. Lu Nanting, on the other hand, was used to being aloof and rarely talked much with people he wasn't familiar with.

The way the two of them are together is something that probably none of the three fan groups have ever seen before.

They kept saying one thing after another, as if the topic would fall to the ground and die.

Tsk~
After picking up the people, they rehearsed. After the rehearsal, everyone went to the dressing room to rest and do their makeup. Meanwhile, the audience entered the venue one after another under the guidance of the staff.

Today, not only Mei Xue, but also the makeup artist, stylist, and publicity team from Gu Lanxi's studio came.

They will record a vlog for her, documenting her first stage performance.

To avoid overshadowing the main event, the footage will likely not be released. But for artists, it's always good to keep the footage on hand; it might come in handy at a crucial moment.

Gu Lanxi's song was still a long way off, so she wasn't in a hurry at the end. She put on a mask and hat, carried her camera, and went to the VIP audience area.

Not long after he sat down, the stage went dark, and Lu Nanting slowly emerged from the rising platform.

"First meeting"

You are like a gentle lion.
......"

The first song of the day is "Gentle Lion," which Lu Nanting considers the song that brought them together.
