The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 389 Decent
Compared to the main feature, behind-the-scenes footage, which is detached from the script, can reveal the actors' true selves better.

For fans, these are the truly timeless and captivating treasures.

Gu Lanxi hasn't been in the industry for very long. When she filmed "Throwing Stones to Test the Waters," she was still an unknown actress. Because Hou Mingguang did a good job of keeping things secret, she was completely unknown at that time.

She truly gained some fame after the movie was released, where her impressive action scenes made her memorable to the audience.

But back then, she wasn't famous enough for paparazzi to sneak up on rooftops to take photos of her.

In addition, the actors in this movie are all talented, and there are no popular celebrities, so they didn't even get a chance to be photographed.

Therefore, these exclusive behind-the-scenes clips are basically things that fans have never seen before.

I knew she was exceptionally talented. I witnessed her learn to act from scratch and become quite proficient in just one month, which inevitably sparked heated discussions.

The movie's promotional period has long passed, and Gu Lanxi is only the second female lead in the movie. Since Yu Sheng didn't bring it up, there's no need to bring it up again.

But if she doesn't speak up, others will.

Gu Lanxi is young and doesn't usually show off, so many people underestimate her and overlook the fact that she is a financial giant playing around in the entertainment industry.

She has amazing resources and can choose any script she wants. People would rather spread rumors that she has a sugar daddy than believe that she is really that powerful.

And yet, she has exceptionally good luck in the entertainment industry.

The people I work with don't have any major issues with their principles, so the movie can be released as quickly as possible after filming, and it will always be a hit, no matter how big or small the hit.

Because of her outstanding performance, she has won many awards over the years.

Every time she wins an award, she walks the red carpet, and every time she walks the red carpet, she looks stunning.

It's roughly similar to scarcity marketing.

Every time she appears in public, she never disappoints. As a result, her fans do not leave her because she is less active in the entertainment industry. On the contrary, they love her madly, admiring her highly and remaining loyal to her.

Gu Lanxi has a wealth of works, a good reputation, box office success, numerous awards, outstanding looks, and excellent inner qualities. As a result, after only three years in the industry, she is already able to sit in the second row alongside top actresses when attending events.

Although my position may be on the sidelines due to my age and seniority, it is still a remarkable achievement.

Seriously, even a rocket launch wouldn't be as fast as her.

In contrast to her, the boastful woman who was once criticized by her for "making up for lack of talent" has had a bleak career in recent years. She has filmed several movies without making a splash. When she finally got a role as the second female lead, the movie was canceled because the male lead was blacklisted for tax evasion.

Seeing Gu Lanxi trending on social media these past few days, and with her confidentiality agreement expiring, in addition to the official behind-the-scenes footage, behind-the-scenes footage taken by her staff has also been released one after another, making Gu Lanxi's popularity even higher. She couldn't help but post a Weibo:
I stumbled upon this old photo and realized that it was three years ago when I filmed "Testing the Waters" with @顾兰溪.

We were close in age and had many scenes together. Back then, I always liked to sneakily eat spicy snacks in the corner. She couldn't handle any spice, but she was incredibly curious. Once, she couldn't resist taking a bite and her eyes welled up with tears from the spiciness, but she didn't utter a sound.

There are so many more such wonderful memories in my mind.

Now we're all busy on our own film sets, but when I think back to those nights spent working under the blue light of the monitor, the shoes wrinkled from soaking in the rain, and the cakes we smeared on each other at the wrap party, I suddenly understand—

The so-called "affinity among actors" is probably about spending time together to create a play, and then continuing to witness the human condition for each other through their respective roles!

The caption was quite interesting, conveying a sense of tranquility and peace. It included a photo of the two of them at the wrap party for the drama series, and even tagged Gu Lanxi.

In the photo, Gu Lanxi has some cream on her nose, has probably had a couple of sips of wine, her cheeks are flushed, and her eyes are a little dazed, making her look especially cute.

The woman who showed off seemed gentle and generous, like a kind older sister.

In her opinion, even if it was just for the sake of saving face, since she had posted such a serious Weibo post, Gu Lanxi should at least reply, if not retweet it.

She waited until the afternoon, but it never arrived.

It was certainly not a pleasant feeling.

However, this is not Gu Lanxi's fault.

Regardless of how many people tag her every day, she's not someone who enjoys using Weibo.

She was in meetings all day. Except for a short video call with Lu Nanting during lunch, her phone was off the rest of the time, so she didn't see this.

The studio staff did see it, but for account security and for convenience, her personal Weibo account was linked to her private mobile phone number. If the staff wanted to respond on her behalf, she would have to send the verification code.

She's prioritizing company matters right now and can't be reached at all, so there's nothing we can do.

Furthermore, this boastful woman wasn't someone of such high status that Gu Lanxi needed to respond immediately, so Mei Xue naturally wouldn't try to disturb Gu Lanxi's work. Thus, the Weibo post remained awkwardly hanging there.

An inexplicable awkwardness slowly formed.

Gu Lanxi was getting married before the New Year, so she couldn't come to the company's New Year's Eve dinner. Therefore, Zhong Zhihong took advantage of her presence and arranged the New Year's Eve dinner that night.

After finishing work, dozens of people booked a cozy restaurant, had lively performances, happily drew prizes, and enjoyed a hearty meal.

When Gu Lanxi returned to the hotel, it was almost eleven o'clock.

I opened my phone, logged into WeChat, and informed Lu Nanting before I saw Mei Xue's message.

Mei Xue was worried that she wouldn't be able to find it, so she specially sent her a link.

This is nothing serious. People are politely tagging her, all they want is a little traffic and the status of a friend.

Gu Lanxi is not such a stingy person.

Even though she was exhausted, she still followed the link while applying a face mask and replied to her:
It's been years since we last met. How have you been? I just got back to the hotel after a busy day and only just saw this. Sorry.

She was very thoughtful. It wouldn't be good not to reply when people in the industry tagged her, but it was true that she hadn't had any contact with them since the movie's promotional tour, and they weren't particularly close to each other from the film crew back then.

She's very careful to avoid being falsely accused of looking down on her former, less-known colleagues.

First, imply that the two haven't seen each other in a long time, then say that you're busy and that you didn't mean to ignore her.

This way, fans won't misunderstand that the two are friends.

In her opinion, it was already quite respectable.

As a result, countless people immediately connected her reply with that behind-the-scenes story.

Back then, Sister Yang boasted about how busy she was with her many engagements, only to be directly rebuked by Gu Lanxi.

Now Gu Lanxi says she's incredibly busy.

It's somewhat like a slap in the face from afar.

She was indeed popular before, and she was really busy back then. Now she can hardly get any good roles, and she can't bring herself to sell products as a movie star. She's so idle all day long that she can't be called busy.

But Gu Lanxi was busy from beginning to end.

But she never boasted about it.

During those years, taking advantage of her heartbreak, she focused most of her energy on her career, not only making seven films but also expanding her business empire. She even graduated with honors.

She was so busy that she didn't have time to watch the behind-the-scenes footage. She had long forgotten about the incident of the crew criticizing her. When she posted it, she was only thinking about how to maintain a respectable image and avoid being approached by people trying to get close to her. She really didn't think that much about it.

When connected by those with ulterior motives, these words were quite a slap in the face, making Gu Lanxi seem petty and holding a grudge from those few words for years.

Once she posted it, people quickly started a thread in her reply.

Seeing the mocking replies, she realized there was more to the story.

For a moment, I didn't know whether to delete the comment or leave another comment explaining.

After some internal struggle, she realized that saying more would only make more mistakes, and that once she posted it, screenshots would definitely fly everywhere. There was no need to bury her head in the sand, so she simply logged out of Weibo and went to wash her face.

That's how celebrities are; a single sentence can be interpreted in countless ways.

Besides those who associated her with being "extremely busy," some people mocked the boastful woman for desperately trying to win him over, only to find that he didn't know her at all.

That person also had a poor mental fortitude; after smashing two vases, they actually deleted their Weibo post.

Then, in the live stream, they say some ambiguous things:

"That's how it is in the industry; nobody wants to be friends with a nobody..."

"That's often how it is; you treat someone as a friend, but they don't necessarily feel the same way."

……

After Gu Lanxi finished washing up and doing her skincare routine, she lay in bed, picked up her phone, and saw that the rhythm had been set in motion.

Okay, a couple of days ago they were criticizing her for cheating on her husband, and now they're criticizing her for being a snob and looking down on her friends who used to share spicy snacks after she became famous.
