The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 246 Two-person interview (Part 1)

The couple spilled a whole bag of sugar and then left it at that.

It's not that I don't want to see the fans' reactions, I just really don't have the time.

The artists have mostly arrived, and the event is about to begin.

It's rare to attend such an event and run into many acquaintances I rarely see. It's fine if they're my peers, but I naturally have to greet the seniors.

Although Gu Lanxi has a bit of the eccentric genius girl streak and doesn't care much about some rules that she thinks are silly, she is still quite capable in interpersonal communication.

Generally speaking, most people who have worked with her have a good impression of her.

Lu Nanting appears arrogant and aloof, making him difficult to approach. In fact, he is a very well-mannered person and is well-liked by his seniors.

The two greeted everyone in turn, then returned to their seats. The awards ceremony was about to begin.

Next, we just need to follow the organizer's procedures.

When her competitors are exceptionally strong, her age becomes her biggest weakness.

As Gu Lanxi had predicted, she only received a Best Actress nomination tonight.

After the awards ceremony, there will be an official interview session.

Gu Lanxi went first, and with her witty and polite answers, she was led backstage by the staff to participate in a two-person interview.

The couple had very busy schedules. Not to mention Lu Nanting, even Gu Lanxi, who was interviewed by the China Daily, had to go to the film set and squeeze out half an hour to interview her.

People magazine wanted to do a two-person interview with them, but they had to find a time that they could find by any means possible.

An awards ceremony can last for several hours, and even the most resilient artist can't sit from beginning to end.

People would frequently go backstage to rest or give interviews.

Because all the celebrities are present, some media outlets can interview several people at once, saving time, effort, and money.

So the young couple went backstage together without attracting attention.

When they arrived at the interview location, the equipment had already been set up. The staff led the two to a sofa in front of the camera and sat them down. Just as they were about to ask if they wanted water or to touch up their makeup, the staff came over and quickly and skillfully took care of everything for them.

A professional and efficient response is very endearing.

The reporter sat down, greeted the couple with "Happy Wedding," exchanged a few pleasantries, and then quickly asked questions.

"According to data released by the National Bureau of Statistics in March this year, the average age of first marriage in my country is 28.55 years old. You two are only 22 years old when you got married. Can you tell me what you were thinking?"

Okay, let's start by asking them why they "married young".

This is rare even among ordinary people, let alone in the entertainment industry.

Female celebrities, in particular, have to keep their relationships secret, let alone get married.

Because the video would be uploaded online, in order to achieve better results, the two did not review the interview outline beforehand, but only informed the interviewer through their agent which taboo questions should not be asked.

Before the interview began, the two agreed to hold each other's hands and, if they didn't want to answer a question, they would pinch each other's hand to make the other person answer.

As soon as the reporter finished speaking, Lu Nanting noticed that she pinched herself.

Clearly, Gu Lanxi did not want to answer this question.

She would never have told Lu Nanting about being pressured into marriage with a note, as if she were being chased for a debt.

Lu Nanting knew what was going on, and couldn't help but chuckle before answering:
"Gather ye rosebuds while ye may, for time is still a-flying. Everyone should know that opportunities are fleeting. When the time is right, confess your feelings, and get married. After all, my wife is Gu Lanxi, with so many suitors that it makes my scalp tingle. If I'm too slow and someone else snatches her away, am I supposed to hide at home and cry? Honestly, if I were even two years older than her..."

Gu Lanxi's ears turned red from listening.

Doing an interview like a confession of love, really...

Noticing that she pinched him hard, Lu Nanting immediately shut up, then winked at the camera and made a "you know what I mean" expression.

Gu Lanxi's excellence is indeed evident to all, and Lu Nanting's words are not wrong.

Just when everyone thought the next question was about to be asked, the reporter insisted on calling out Gu Lanxi's name: "So what are Lanxi's thoughts? Why did she marry Lu Nanting at such a young age?"
Gu Lanxi was about to speak when she remembered her previous promise. She paused, glanced at Lu Nanting again, and then answered slowly and earnestly with a smile:
"Because I love him very, very, very much and want to be with him forever."

Wow!
Lu Nanting immediately broke into a big smile.

Seeing him smile, Gu Lanxi added, "And the reason I love him is because he is truly a very, very, very good person."

Gu Lanxi's first sentence was clearly just to make him happy; the important part was what came next.

But when the order was changed, only the first sentence remained in his mind, and he lost all the sharpness he used to have when he was secretly looking for trouble.

It's not entirely his fault; after all, how many people will see this kind of interview later?

Doesn't this amount to Gu Lanxi confessing her love to him in front of the whole world?
He likes to hear these kinds of words.

I can't help but feel dizzy.

"You two have such a deep bond. May I ask what your first impressions of each other were?"

As usual, Lu Nanting answered first: "My first impression of her was that she had a gentle exterior but a strong heart, like a gentle lion. When she walked towards me, every step felt like it was stepping on my heart. I was instantly smitten, you know? I wanted to get to know her, I wanted to date her, I wanted to marry her, I wanted to..."

Gu Lanxi pinched him hard.

Lu Nanting glanced at her, stopped abruptly, smiled, and remained silent.

The origin of the song "Gentle Lion" is something those in the know understand.

The interview had barely begun when Gu Lanxi was already considering running away.

It's one thing if it's in private, but when it comes to interviews!

God!!

Calling him a "big sieve" is actually a compliment, okay?

Seeing this, the reporter couldn't help but laugh: "And what about Lanxi?"

Gu Lanxi scolded him for talking nonsense and didn't hold back:
"My first impression of him was that he was incredibly rude. When I talked to him, he was just focused on playing the guitar, staring at me with a cold face as he played. He didn't say a word to me from head to toe. I don't even know how I got home. If his family hadn't had some personal connections with my advisor, I probably would have beaten him up before leaving. Anyway, I was so angry! I felt so frustrated and my self-esteem was really hurt."

"That was a really interesting first meeting. So, when did your opinion of him change?"

“I went back to school and cried my eyes out. Before I could even wipe my tears away, he called me, apologized, and said he was busy composing music and hadn’t noticed me. He also said he was willing to let me tutor him. Considering the high salary, I decided not to argue with the client.”

This was the first time Lu Nanting had heard her talk about these things, and a hint of shame appeared on his face.

His first time falling in love was inexperienced, so he didn't perform well, which is definitely a dark chapter in his life.

Although he wanted to defend himself, he didn't interrupt and remained politely seated to the side, listening quietly.

"Then, every time I went to teach him, he would greet me at the gate and respectfully call me Teacher Gu. When I taught him, he always listened very attentively and never did his homework perfunctorily. I admire people who are serious about their work."

Hearing her talk about these things, Lu Nanting couldn't help but suppress a laugh.

"It seems like Nan Ting has something to say about this?"

Lu Nanting nodded: "I went to pick her up so I could see her sooner. I take things seriously because my brother and father taught me how to pursue girls. They said that no one likes someone who isn't serious about their work, especially someone as outstanding as my wife. Everyone around her is outstanding. If I don't work hard, she won't even give me a second glance."

Lu Nanting's father and brothers were both well-known wealthy merchants, but Lu Nanting rarely mentioned them in public.

The reporter was intrigued: "So, you received a lot of guidance from your father and brothers?"

"Yes. My wife was extremely difficult to win over. When I encounter difficulties, I seek their help. They are truly wise when it comes to marriage and love."

So, it was only by the entire Lu family working together that he finally managed to win over Gu Lanxi.
This is some serious news!
Let me reiterate, many of the things that involve the rules of the industry are made up; I have never been involved in the entertainment industry.

The poisonous moth is buried too deep; the dragonfly sister needs to think carefully before she can find it.

I can't write during the day, but at night my thoughts flow like a spring.

I need to make some adjustments.
