The sweetest in the entertainment industry

The most admirable point of Chapter 219

Gu Lanxi stood up, put down her phone, washed her face first, and then, seeing that her eyes were red and swollen, went to get an ice pack to apply.

She ran fast and drove away from the set. The director arranged for someone to chase after her. She ran downstairs, panting, then went back upstairs to watch the scene she had just filmed.

After watching it, he didn't linger and immediately had Dong Sihuan carry the machine and follow him.

I initially thought that scene deviated from my expectations, but now I'm increasingly satisfied with it.

As for the illogical parts, just change the script.

According to the original script, Duan Wei didn't know what her father did for a living. She grew up like an ordinary girl. When she discovered that her mother was injured, she was terrified and would scream and be at a loss.

Looking back now, if that's the case, her calm and collected responses wouldn't have been consistent with her character, and she wouldn't have been able to grow into an excellent undercover agent in just a few years.

If it were changed to the fact that she already knew her father was a narcotics officer and that she and her mother were at risk of retaliation from drug dealers at any time, then this reaction would be reasonable.

Not only was her reaction reasonable, but her martial arts training from elementary school was also reasonable.

Because of a sense of crisis, one can endure hardship.

Her expression, interpreted from another angle, could also mean that she had known this day would come, but upon seeing the scene, she still couldn't help but reveal shock and fear.

"Look, isn't this the legendary 'pupil earthquake'? The whole person is frozen in place, like a wooden stake, but their hands are shaking uncontrollably, and their mouth and cheeks are also shaking uncontrollably. After the shock and fear, there is a deep sadness and anger. Really, it's so natural! There's no trace of acting, it's truly amazing!"

At this moment, in the hotel corridor, outside Gu Lanxi's room, Gao Yunyi was sitting on a stool with his sleeves rolled up, knocking on the door and calling out to the person inside.

Beside him was a video camera, and behind the camera stood Dong Sihuan, Tong Guangquan, and others who were constantly sighing.

As for both ends of the corridor, they were guarded by crew members to prevent unauthorized personnel from passing through.

Across the street, the room door was wide open, and the poor screenwriter was gritting his teeth, furiously writing away.

After writing for a while, Old Deng would turn to her and ask, "How's the script revision going?"

If she were to say anything like "almost done," the devilish Gao would turn around, knock on the tightly closed door, and loudly lie:
"Did you hear that? The screenwriter said the script has been revised. Come out and take a look, just one look, okay? If you don't come out, it might be revised to your liking again, and don't blame me for not warning you!"

Gu Lanxi sat on the carpet, quietly applying ice, ignoring him from beginning to end.

She admitted that Gao Yunyi is a very good director and treats her very well, but only under normal circumstances.

Because this person is a film fanatic; he's willing to disregard human nature as long as he can make a good movie.

I don't care if people curse me to death.

"Next year there will be the Golden Rooster Awards, the Hundred Flowers Awards, and the Huabiao Awards. With this role, you can win whichever one you want, right? Come out here, let me analyze it for you. Let's cooperate and achieve a win-win situation, and climb to new heights in our careers together!"

Seeing that Gu Lanxi ignored him, he sat there and began to wipe away his tears with genuine emotion.

While wiping away tears, she kept muttering to herself:
“The movie is almost finished filming, you can’t just quit! I know you’re not short of money, and it’s not impossible for you to just pay the compensation and leave, but are you willing to do that? After putting in so much effort, are you willing to give up?”

Gao Yunyi took the tissue offered by the staff member, blew his nose hard, and then continued knocking on the door:

"I, Lao Gao, have absolutely no selfish motives. It's all for the movie. I admit, sometimes I really can be a bit unethical, but it's all for the movie. It's not all for nothing! Come and see for yourself, the results are amazing!"

To everyone's surprise, he actually started crying, and they didn't know where to begin trying to comfort him.

Seeing him crying, he gestured for the embellishment teacher to move closer.

Everyone was speechless and could only continue to pull out tissues to blow his nose.

"I know you're still young and have many opportunities, but I'm getting old and don't know how many more movies I can make. I'm so lucky to have met such an excellent actor like you. The reason I went through so much trouble was because I had no other choice. Really, sob sob, you're just too amazing! I just can't hold back anymore! Come out here, let's finish filming the last two scenes before it gets dark. We can't delay the schedule! I'm still hoping to win an award with this movie, so that when I die, I can go see my dad!"

Okay, Gao Yunyi is a second-generation director. His father is even more powerful than him. If he wants to stand tall in front of his father, he really needs some good works to back him up.

In this small county town, the hotel conditions were just so-so. The soundproofing of this room was very poor, so Gu Lanxi slept in the inner room at night to ensure she could get a good night's sleep, since the inner room's doors and windows had soundproofing strips installed.

She could hear Gao Yunyi speaking clearly from outside, but she didn't say a word.

If you go along with Gao Yunyi's madness once, he'll do it again next time.

Zhuang Xiaotong and Niu Lili were among the first to return. They heard her crying through the door and knew she was at the hotel and hadn't gone anywhere else. They breathed a sigh of relief and went to call Mei Xue.

They complained, and after learning what had happened, Mei Xue immediately called the producer. The two are currently on the phone exchanging greetings about their families, both quite emotional.

The two of them didn't go anywhere else after that. They stayed at the door until Gao Yunyi returned with his men. They didn't leave for a moment.

Compared to their tension, Aunt Wang looked particularly relaxed. She was sitting on a blue plastic stool outside her room, picking vegetables while guarding the trash can.

When Gu Lanxi ran back crying, she had gone to the market to buy groceries. When she came back and saw the huge commotion, she asked what had happened and then went about her own business, seemingly unperturbed.

She's seen a lot and has a positive outlook.

Every industry has its difficulties. You either listen to others or make others listen to you. It's that simple.

Gu Lanxi is no ordinary actress. If she were to act unreasonably and only care about her own feelings, the director wouldn't really have the final say.

But Aunt Wang knew that the most admirable thing about Gu Lanxi was that she was basically not emotional when she did things.

She will rationally weigh the gains and losses, and then choose the most advantageous path to take.

Don't be fooled by Gao Yunyi's pitiful appearance and subservient behavior at her doorstep; things will most likely go as he wishes.

His rambling, though seemingly nonsensical, actually all revolved around one theme: I did all this for the film, without any ulterior motives! We get along so well, let's aim for the awards together!
In particular, his attitude in admitting his mistakes was exceptionally good. He would say things like, "I know it's really immoral to do something like this. You can scold me, but you don't need to hit me. I can't take your beating." He would also say things like, "Calm down, I was wrong. I'll treat you to a meal, I'll introduce you to resources, and I'll serve you hand and foot!"

The door opened in about ten minutes.

Gu Lanxi completely snapped out of the act and her rationality returned.

We've already taken all the photos, it would be a waste not to make the most of them.

She cares more about the future than the past.

After working so hard for so long, and with the movie almost finished filming, there's absolutely no need to create any unnecessary complications; it would only cause trouble for yourself.

Just finish filming as soon as possible, block this old man as soon as possible, and never have anything to do with him again.

Suddenly I understood why such a great director was so unpopular in the industry.

Basically, actors who have worked with him have an extremely low willingness to work with him again.

That old Deng deserved it!
Today is the Awakening of Insects, and it reminds me of my college roommate. She taught me that on the Awakening of Insects, you should eat pears to ward off bad luck and stay away from petty people.

I sometimes miss them because they were all very good to me.

I may seem clever, but I'm actually quite silly and often do weird things. Even though it's been over ten years since I graduated, my roommates still laugh when they talk about it.

I have a terrible sense of direction. Back in college, when we still had feature phones, I didn't carry a map with me when I went out.

One year, my wallet was stolen, and I lost my ID card, bank cards, etc. I went to the police station to apply for a replacement ID card.

When I got back to school, my phone died, and then I got lost and was looking for the bus stop.

We walked for three or four hours straight.

Then I got hungry, so I followed the aroma into an alley and found some delicious shumai with mutton and scallion filling, as well as mutton offal soup, which was super tasty.

After I finished eating, I continued walking.

When it was almost dark, I got back to my dorm safely and sat on my bed, too tired to talk.

My roommate asked me, "Where have you been? You look like a dog, exhausted?"

I told my roommates I had some really delicious shumai and mutton offal soup, and they asked me to take them there. I told them I didn't know the way because I got lost on my way there.

Then they asked me, "Didn't you go out this morning?"
Yes, I went there by car, and then I don't know where to catch a bus back.

They asked me why I didn't take a taxi, and I replied that I used my last money to buy shumai and mutton soup.

From then on, they never let me leave the school alone to do anything.

When I was dating Juan Wang, I took him to dinner with my roommates. My roommates repeatedly told me that if I got lost, I should go back the way I came to pick him up, because I would wait in the same spot.

I love electronic maps.
