The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Gao Yunyi didn't expect Gu Lanxi to be so strong-willed, nor did he expect Jiang Yan to value family ties so much.

What saddened him most was that it was only then that he realized he wasn't as important as he had imagined.

People always say, "Useful things are friends, useless things are enemies," and "A plucked phoenix is ​​no better than a chicken." He now understands this perfectly.

Before filming began, everyone greeted him with smiles, shook his hand respectfully, and called him "Director Gao." His illness had just been diagnosed, and he hadn't even had surgery yet! He had already been abandoned as if he were a useless person.

All because I offended Gu Lanxi.

They won't even give him a chance to correct his mistakes before firing him.

Fortunately, because they didn't want to implicate Gu Lanxi, Xingguang put a lot of effort into cleaning up the entire internet as soon as the matter was exposed.

At the very least, he can leave with dignity and not ruin his reputation in his later years.

It can be considered a blessing in misfortune.

But I'm still not reconciled!
He poured so much effort into this film!

A bunch of laymen, do they really think anyone can direct this movie?

He wanted to see where Xingguang was going to find a replacement for him when he was suddenly fired without any preparation!

The two lead actors are going to attend the Golden Rooster Awards ceremony the day after tomorrow, but the other actors' scenes will be filmed as usual.

Such a large film crew would suffer huge losses if they took a day off.

Gao Yunyi left indignantly, his mind filled with anticipation of watching the show.

Jiang Yan was indeed having a headache over this matter.

Fang Yuan didn't actually agree with firing Gao Yunyi; for her, keeping Gao Yunyi was the best option.

But you can't fight city hall; the boss has spoken, and in front of outsiders no less, so there's no way she could possibly voice any objections.

But that doesn't mean she wasn't dissatisfied.

After Gao Yunyi left, the group continued discussing the next steps, and Fang Yuan immediately raised this pointed question.

It means, boss, since you want to be in charge, then find me a new director!

Jiang Yan raised an eyebrow, not asking Gu Lanxi or his nephew, but directly asking Fang Yuan, "Who do you think is more suitable?"

This is the tragedy of the working class.

If you have grievances, keep them to yourself.

A good employee is one who can solve problems for their boss.

"This really happened too suddenly, less than twelve hours in total. I have no clue what to do. Lanxi, what do you think?"

The boss throws problems at her, and she naturally throws them at others.

This matter started because of Gu Lanxi, so naturally she has to clean it up.

Fang Yuan has several projects under her belt. If every actor were like her, unable to bear any loss, wouldn't all the projects fall apart?

Although Gu Lanxi is young, she is very decisive and has her own ideas.

"Director Gao is getting old, and his protégé has grown up. He happens to be our assistant director. He has been with the crew since filming started and has a deep understanding of the film. When shooting in groups, he was in charge of shooting the B group, so he didn't need to adapt to anything. In addition, the big scenes have all been filmed, and there are not many important scenes left. He can stand in his master's place for the last time when his master's health deteriorates."

Gu Lanxi thought about it very deeply.

Gao Yunyi came over late at night, probably knowing that this trip wouldn't be respectable, so he didn't bring the producer, the production manager, or the assistant director. This shows that he wasn't that close to these people.

The apprentice has grown up, but the master is unwilling to let go and keeps pressuring him to work as his assistant, just like a research laborer under an unscrupulous mentor.

How can a true man remain subservient to others for long?
An opportunity has come; it's no wonder we seize it.

Fang Yuan wasn't very confident about this: "Leaving aside whether he's capable enough for this job, would he betray his master at a time like this?"

"How can you use such a serious word as 'backstabbing'! They are master and apprentice. It's normal for the apprentice to serve the master when he needs help, isn't it? Besides, you have to give someone a chance to see an ability. If the collaboration goes well, you can let him try directing a film on his own next time. After Director Gao's surgery, not to mention how long it will take to recover, even if he recovers, his body will probably be difficult to return to its previous state." Different types of films need to be directed, and each director has different strengths. In a sense, it's actually a good thing for his apprentice that Gao Yunyi can no longer direct.

Without making a sound, they cut off the person's escape route, sowed discord between master and disciple, and then didn't forget to remind everyone:

Whether he is willing to take on this job or not depends on himself. Besides, even if he can't do it, his master will always be there to back him up.

But even after they kicked people out, they still wanted them to continue working for the film crew, even for free.

Fang Yuan's eyes widened, and after a long while, he took a deep breath and made a gesture as if making a phone call:

"I'll call him later and see what he says."

Gu Lanxi smiled and nodded: "Yes, if possible, the official Weibo account can mention this matter when it posts tomorrow morning, so as to give the audience an explanation."

Fang Yuan stared at her intently for a long time before smiling and saying, "Director Gao is sick. You two better not go out tomorrow; it wouldn't be good if you were photographed."

Having known each other for so long, this was the first time Fang Yuan had ever spoken to her so frankly.

Gu Lanxi nodded, indicating that she understood.

Fang Yuan was very satisfied with her reaction.

"I'll call Han Yucheng right now and ask. If it's settled, you should go back to the film crew tomorrow morning to film! The red carpet is the day after tomorrow, and you can fly over there tomorrow night. You'll have plenty of time."

Gu Lanxi nodded again.

Fang Yuan ignored her and took out his phone.

Regardless of the time, he called Han Yucheng directly.

It has to be said that Gu Lanxi's observation skills are truly exceptional!

She spends all day on set, and even though she never chats with anyone and is very aloof in private, she can still notice the slightest thing happening on set.

When the call was made, Han Yucheng's voice was clear and bright, showing no signs of sleepiness, clearly indicating that he knew exactly what was about to happen on set.

He immediately agreed to Fang Yuan's suggestion and made many promises to complete the task.

Afterwards, probably fearing that his answer was too straightforward and would leave a bad impression, he added a few more words such as "When Master is in trouble, the disciple will serve him."

Fang Yuan listened while giving Gu Lanxi a meaningful look.

She's such a considerate girl; she even came up with the reasons for people to understand.

The matter has been settled; we're just waiting for the official announcement at dawn.

Jiang Yan nodded in satisfaction and went back to the next room. Fang Yuan also yawned, said hello, and went downstairs.

Zhang Mingyuan and Mei Xue wanted to stay and say something, but seeing that everything was arranged, they didn't say anything more.

Lu Nanting will stay here tomorrow, waiting for Gu Lanxi to leave together. Zhang Mingyuan will go to Xiamen first to handle the red carpet arrangements, but Sister Mei will stay and follow her.

Lu Nanting's journey on the red carpet was far more complicated than Gu Lanxi's.

Gu Lanxi's dress has already been decided, and her makeup has been arranged. If she's not worried about not getting enough sleep and looking unwell, she can go over that morning.

Once only the two of them were left in the room, and after having the bodyguards come in to check again for any eavesdropping devices, Gu Lanxi asked him in a low voice:

"Won't you think I'm too harsh?"

"If you don't cut the weeds at the root, they will grow back in the spring breeze. Since you've already torn off all pretenses, you should do everything you can to prevent the other party from having a chance to make a comeback. You've already done a very respectable job."

"I actually hope his surgery goes smoothly and he recovers well so he can continue acting in the future, but I will absolutely never work with him again."

Lu Nanting nodded, checked the time, and carried her back to the bedroom.

"It's still early, go back to sleep!"

"Hmm." (End of Chapter)
