The sweetest in the entertainment industry

The makeup and styling team arrived early in the morning.

The Pillow Stream Pavilion has many rooms, and all ten bridesmaids are staying here, each of whom needs to get their hair and makeup done.

Gu Lanxi has a styling team that has been working together for several months and can handle everything from walking the red carpet to getting ready. It's just a wedding, so there's no need to look outside for a stylist.

But there are too many people today, and Yu Xin and a few others can't handle it alone.

In addition, most of the guests needed makeup and styling services, and since the place was a bit far from the city center, many people had already checked into the resort last night. Gu Lanxi specially spent a lot of money to hire a professional styling studio to serve everyone.

Today, everyone is required to wear Hanfu, even service staff have uniform attire.

The courtyard gate opened, and a group of people filed in. Combined with the antique-style architecture, it looked just like something out of a period drama.

A group of people entered the courtyard and split into two groups.

Yu Xin led the people from Gu Lanxi's studio to her place, while the others went to the large dressing room prepared for the bridesmaids.

Gu Lanxi went to bed late last night, so she had trouble getting up this morning.

But she knew what was important, and when she heard the staff knocking on the door, she got up even though she was still sleepy.

Her suite is quite large, so she doesn't need to go anywhere else.

After washing up, they came out of the bedroom and went to the next room, where everything was already set out and Yu Xin and the others were having breakfast.

"Aunt Wang just delivered this. Boss, yours is here. I've saved it for you."

Gu Lanxi wasn't really interested in eating, but Aunt Wang came in with a pot of freshly boiled soy milk and, seeing this, immediately tried to persuade her to eat:

"I'm still busy today. If you don't eat enough, it might be inconvenient when you get hungry and want something you like."

In crowded places, everyone has their own tasks. Given Gu Lanxi's personality, she might not want to trouble others and might just endure the hunger and tough it out.

Gu Lanxi thought about it and agreed. She took a bowl of soy milk, picked up a slice of pan-fried chicken breast about two fingers wide, and then took an egg. She rolled it lightly on the table, skillfully broke it open, threw away half of the shell, and leaned against the table to eat it in small bites.

"Have another purple sweet potato to supplement your dietary fiber."

As she spoke, Aunt Wang placed a purple sweet potato on her plate and handed her half an avocado.

Gu Lanxi is very active, and breakfast is crucial to her condition in the morning, so she won't skip this meal even if she's on a diet.

Seeing this, he did not raise any objections and continued to eat slowly.

After she finished eating, everyone else finished eating too, rinsed their mouths, and started chewing gum.

After finishing her breakfast, Gu Lanxi picked her teeth, brushed them clean, and then came out.

All the tools are ready.

As soon as she lay down on the beauty bed, a group of people surrounded her.

The process is similar to walking the red carpet.

She had her hair treated yesterday, and to look her best, she's going to do a full skincare routine today.

Today, her makeup is elegant and luxurious, symbolizing peace and prosperity, featuring bright red accents with gold.

To match the theme, the fingernails and toenails should also be made bright red.

Come to think of it, she has never done this kind of makeup or styling in her entire life, not even when acting.

Although she had tried on makeup and dresses before, Lu Nanting hadn't seen them yet to maintain an air of mystery. She was a little nervous, but also a little excited.
"Sis, lie down. This face mask will be on for a long time, so you'd better not move."

Seeing that she was ready, Yu Xin tore open a bag of face masks and applied them to her one by one.

The staff were very considerate in wanting her to sleep a little longer, and they said very nice things.

Gu Lanxi is a superhuman who can fall asleep on set, and now that she's surrounded by familiar people, she's not worried about anything.

I lay down quietly and fell asleep in less than two minutes.

When she woke up and opened her eyes, Yu Xin and the others were gone.

Aunt Wang sat by the window, quietly knitting a sweater.

She felt that the clothes in the mall, even those from big brands, were not good enough. She preferred to wear clothes she knitted herself, and occasionally when she had free time, she would knit one for Gu Lanxi.

"what time is it?"

"It's almost eleven o'clock. Get up and rest for a while. After dinner, it'll be time to do your makeup and hair."

Gu Lanxi sat up, her hair smooth and flowing from the back of her head to her chest. She lowered her head and reached out her hand.

I've been taking good care of my hands lately, and the calluses on my palms have softened, making them look fair, slender, and very beautiful.

"Ah."

She agreed, and Aunt Wang stopped, stuck the knitting needle into the ball of yarn, then put it into her handbag, looking at her intently.

"Are you awake now?"

Gu Lanxi was stunned for a moment, then looked up and saw that Aunt Wang had come over and given her a hug.

"Don't worry, with all the effort you've put into this relationship, things will only get better in the future. Today will definitely go smoothly."

Gu Lanxi's mother passed away early, and her father was unreliable. With the wedding about to take place, during the ceremony, both of Lu's parents were present and sitting there, while in front of her there was only a memorial tablet.

Aunt Wang feels unbearable heartache just thinking about it.

If I weren't afraid of going too far, I would have liked to reach out and pat her head.

Only after she let go and took a half step back did a smile appear on Gu Lanxi's face.

Aunt Wang has known her for several years and has taken meticulous care of her; the two have always had a very good relationship.

Aunt Wang was always quick to notice when she was in a bad mood. Sometimes she would offer some advice, but most of the time she would keep things in check and let her regulate her own emotions.

Gu Lanxi naturally didn't find her offensive.

"Thank you, Aunt Wang. I was just a little groggy. I'll be fine after a bit."

Although Gu Lanxi is young, she has an exceptional temperament and is a person with an extremely strong core.

What she said to Lu Nanting last night, besides being genuinely emotional, might also have been an attempt to coax him by being affectionate and vulnerable.

In front of outsiders, no matter how close they are, she is unwilling to reveal her true thoughts when it comes to Lu Nanting.

Aunt Wang smiled awkwardly, scratched her head, and tried to save face:

"I'll go check if lunch is ready. If it is, I'll bring it over to you."

She hadn't managed her own marriage well. She had saved a lot of money and lived a comfortable life, but she had never had a partner and had always lacked confidence in relationships. Naturally, she wouldn't offer advice to Gu Lanxi based on her own experience.

Gu Lanxi did not refuse and let her go.

"I'm not too hungry right now, so take less."

Aunt Wang responded and left. Gu Lanxi found her phone and saw that Lu Nanting had sent her a lot of messages.

She replied to every single one of them before she saw that Mei Xue had sent her a message.

However, it was an endorsement deal with the Extreme World, and the deal was finally reached. All that's left is to sign the contract and then proceed with the formalities.

However, it's not a hiking series, but rather an ambassador for the Asia-Pacific region.

For Gu Lanxi, this was truly wonderful news.

Mei Xue was so happy that she immediately told her after the matter was finalized, despite the special circumstances of the day.

Since she had nothing better to do, Gu Lanxi, who was a very career-oriented person, didn't hesitate to call back after seeing the message.

Why the sudden change of heart?

"Their original plan was to sign you two as global brand ambassadors..."

Gu Lanxi frowned: "He already has other outdoor brand endorsements, how could he possibly sign this one? What are you thinking?"

"It's due next month."

"There's also a long period of silence; you can't endorse competing products!"

"They are willing to wait."

In terms of commercial value, Lu Nanting is among the top tier in the Chinese entertainment industry. It's normal for brands to be eyeing her and even trying to break through her.

In the past few months, Gu Lanxi has rejected countless offers from Gao She, who came to her in an attempt to seduce Lu Nanting.

Hearing this makes me a little annoyed.

"If you don't like me, just don't sign. Don't you find this kind of thing annoying?"

“Your commercial value is not as good as his, that’s a fact. The brand is just making a rational decision. Zhang Mingyuan and I have discussed it. Your CP fans are currently no match for your individual fans. At present, taking on two endorsements is not conducive to your development. Occasionally appearing together for promotional purposes is the limit. Otherwise, you will easily be criticized by your individual fans as being just a decoration.”

Gu Lanxi wasn't one to act impulsively, so she readily agreed: "In that case, let's sign the contract in a few days. By the way, is there any conflict with the travelers?"

"There is no conflict. Travelers specialize in outdoor camping equipment, while Extreme focuses on outdoor sports such as hiking, skiing, and mountaineering. We will make detailed arrangements regarding the contract to ensure that you will not be left with any legal risks."

Gu Lanxi nodded: "Then let's finalize the contract before the New Year and shoot the promotional materials before starting filming after the New Year."

"Other endorsements also require shooting materials for the new season, including print ads and visual campaigns..."

Mei Xue counted on her fingers and then told her, "Including this endorsement, that's only five. You've been in contact with some more recently. Given your workload, fifteen or less is reasonable."

"Ten, I don't want to live like a spinning top. I need enough private space to do what I like."

Well, the boss is rich and powerful, unlike ordinary entertainers.

Mei Xue was very compliant and nodded immediately:

"Don't worry, I'll discuss everything with you before making a decision."

Gu Lanxi was also very satisfied:
"Regardless of what you endorse, quality and brand philosophy are the top priorities, and you also need to be careful about sensitive issues."

"it is good."

Mei Xue was about to hang up when Gu Lanxi said, "For the extreme environment advertising blockbuster, it would be best to design a skiing theme. We can shoot it while we're in Switzerland, it won't be a hassle."

Mei Xue couldn't help but laugh: "Speaking of which, the reason we got the full endorsement deal was not only because your hiking story went viral, but also because a senior executive at the brand is friends with a ski instructor, and he saw a video of you filmed in Italy last year."

Gu Lanxi understood the situation, said a few more words, and then hung up the phone.

After the wedding comes the Chinese New Year.

On Lunar New Year's Eve, Lu Nanting will be on the Spring Festival Gala, and then he will start business on the third day of the Lunar New Year. Valentine's Day will be just a few days later.

The new album was released on Valentine's Day, followed by promotional activities and a continued concert tour. He was busy until April, when he could finally relax for about half a month.

The filming of "Above the Stars" is tentatively scheduled to begin on March 16. The main actors have been cast, but two important supporting roles are still missing. Suitable candidates have not yet been found, and Ni Bingyan's team has been following up on this matter.

For the next month or so, Gu Lanxi's time will be taken up by endorsements.

Instead of sighing, she felt relieved.

As long as her work goes smoothly and her career flourishes, many anxieties will naturally dissipate.

In a better mood, Gu Lanxi opened Lu Nanting's chat window again, raised an eyebrow, and sent a "flipping card" emoji.

Then, no matter what Lu Nanting sent, she stopped replying, letting him jump up and down as he pleased, while she just chuckled quietly. (End of Chapter)
