The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 445 Fashion Resources
The couple endorses different brands, attends different shows, and has a tight schedule with little free time. Yesterday, they only spent half a day shopping together, which was already their limit.

The next morning, Gu Lanxi rested at the hotel to prepare for the afternoon's fashion show, while Lu Nanting set off early to shoot his solo cover for the May issue of VOGUE, a magazine that combines environmental protection and fashion with the theme of "sustainable fashion."

Recently, paparazzi have been flocking to Paris, and there have been numerous stalker fans. With Lu Nanting away, no one was bothering her to go out, so Gu Lanxi simply stayed in the hotel and didn't go anywhere. Even her breakfast was delivered to her room by her staff.

The couple came to Fashion Week together. After discussing it with several brands, they decided to book them at the same hotel. Because they saved the cost of a top-tier suite, the staff were treated much better than in previous years.

Everyone has a single room this time.

After finishing her meal quickly, Gu Lanxi went to rinse her mouth and immediately took out the dress-up doll set, playing with it earnestly.

The staff were busy, moving back and forth in the outer room.

Inspect the dress, every loose thread, every bead...

Organize the shoes: soles, uppers, heels...

The most important thing is the jewelry that has already been delivered. Each piece must be checked repeatedly, with representatives from the brand present and bodyguards keeping a close eye on everything.

Mei Xue was afraid that she would be bored by herself, so she came in to keep her company. She knocked on the door, and when she heard her answer, she turned the handle and pushed the door open. She saw that she was wearing a thin light blue round-neck sweater, with her hair down, sitting in front of the dressing table. Her snow-white skirt was spread out, revealing a section of her fair and jade-like calf.

Hearing the door open, she ignored it, tilting her head and seriously picking out small clothes from the doll wardrobe.

After weighing it over repeatedly, she took out a small shirt, compared it to the doll, and was not satisfied. So she took off the little skirt, changed into a pair of shorts, and carefully tied up the hem of the shirt, revealing a small section of her waist.

He nodded, took out a baseball cap, and put it on the doll.

She is always so focused when she does things, exuding a calm and collected aura, as if she has no connection whatsoever with this glamorous and noisy circle.

But when she's dressed up, standing tall and relaxed, elegantly appearing in the world of fame and fortune, talking to people with confidence, it's as if she was born to be there.

Seeing that she was having fun, Mei Xue drew back the curtains to let the morning sunlight stream in, took a few photos of her with her camera, and recorded a video of her before speaking to her:
"Is this fun?"

Yesterday, while shopping, Gu Lanxi seemed indifferent to everything except staring at her husband. But when they got back to the hotel, she was the one playing with all the little trinkets that Lu Nanting had carefully selected.

It seems that the childhood of gifted children comes later, and there are certain prerequisites.

They need someone to pamper and coax them.

Mei Xue had seen Lu Nanting braid her hair before, and when she first saw her playing with dolls, she thought it was alright.

Gu Lanxi was particularly fond of the toys she bought yesterday.

My favorite is this set of handmade dress-up dolls.

Upon hearing her question, Gu Lanxi softly hummed in response, opened the jewelry cabinet, carefully took out a diamond ring with a clip, and gently put it on the doll's finger.

"It's not easy to cut such a small diamond so beautifully; no wonder it can't be mass-produced."

Light shone through the small ring, revealing a diamond about the size of a millet seed, refracting a faint rainbow of colors. Mei Xue was intrigued and squatted down beside it, taking a closer look several times.

"Hmm," Gu Lanxi responded again, then stopped what she was doing, looked up at her, and said, "Don't post the photos, they'll ruin your image."

Mei Xue chuckled twice and put away her phone: "What kind of persona do you have?"

"Okay, I'm afraid fans will clamor for these kinds of dolls, but we can't mass-produce them."

Mei Xue didn't press the matter further, sending her a copy of the photos and videos. After thinking for a moment, she forwarded them to Lu Nanting as well, before finally picking up her tablet and tapping a few times to check the work schedule.

"The film crew will be on vacation next month, and you have to fly to Sanya to shoot your solo cover for the June issue of VOGUE, remember?"

"I remember, we focused on ocean pollution and created a mermaid-themed design, right?" "Yes."

The top domestic magazines, including the five major women's magazines and two major men's magazines, are all monthly publications. Not counting special issues, there are a total of 84 issues a year. Even if you include multiple cover stars, the number of celebrities who can appear on the cover each year is still limited.

It's like a cake called fashion; some people get a bigger slice, while others get a smaller slice.

Lu Nanting rose to prominence unexpectedly, forcefully overthrowing a string of predecessors and stepping on the envy and jealousy of his peers to become a rising star. Last year, he appeared on the covers of thirteen magazines, including overseas editions, supplements, quarterly issues, and year-end issues, including three covers of the five major women's magazines and one cover of each of the two major men's magazines.

Gu Lanxi takes a high-end approach, and she needs to shoot at least three or four magazine covers a year.

She didn't want to eat that piece of cake before, not because she wasn't entitled to.

After all, she is a goddess-level beauty in the entertainment industry who is always the subject of heated discussions because of her beauty every time she appears.

Once she opens her mouth, someone will frantically feed her.

The magazine put a lot of effort into this cover shoot. They not only tailored a theme for her, but also started communicating six months in advance. From clothing to accessories, even the props to be used in the shoot were all decided one by one, striving for perfection.

Seeing that she remembered this, Meixue asked her:

“We will also do some preparations before you leave. Do you have any special requests? You will be busy when you get back, so please make a note of everything in advance in case we overlook anything.”

The magazine originally wanted the Lanting couple to shoot a cover together for the September or October issue, but after discussion, both studios felt that frequent pairings were not conducive to long-term development and rejected the idea.

Then the May and June issues were decided.

Both are very popular, and the magazine is released in limited quantities with no time limit. Fans are afraid of missing out, so some choose to subscribe quarterly, and some even subscribe to the annual edition.

"Didn't we book the Maldives before?"

"It's only a three-day holiday for Qingming Festival, I don't want you to work too hard."

Logically speaking, given VOGUE's prestigious reputation, if someone gets a solo cover, they should try their best to cooperate in order to maintain a good relationship. However, Mei Xue remembered an ironclad rule not long after taking on this job—everything should come first for Gu Lanxi.

Given Gu Lanxi's personality, she believed that if she gained something, it was her good fortune, and if she lost it, it was her fate. She never got caught up in internal conflicts or made herself feel wronged.

Honestly, having a domineering and powerful boss feels pretty great.

"Okay, remember to remind me to bring my diving gear. I have a small face, so my mask and other equipment are all custom-made."

Mei Xue thought she would be thinking about sunscreen spray or a parasol, but she was speechless when she heard this answer:
"Is all you can think about is having fun? Even diving. It's only three days, not including travel time. Can't you just relax a bit?"

"A strong woman should be like this, conquering mountains and oceans. After filming wraps up at the end of July, I want to go horseback riding in Inner Mongolia. Maybe I can even catch the Naadam Festival. Ah, my life must be a wilderness."

Mei Xue ignored her completely: "We'll talk about it when you have time off."

Gu Lanxi immediately fell silent.

I came across a few really funny jokes and wanted to share them with you:
1. "Boiling beans with beanstalks" refers to boiling peas, because both Cao Pi and Cao Zhi were sons of Mengde.

2、豌豆的花语是9:3:3:1.
3. Prince Zichu of Qin was the second son of Lord Anguo and lived as a hostage in Zhao.

This is the first time in human history that the decay of a neutron into a proton has been recorded and observed.

4. "Born in hardship, die in comfort" is the earliest record of euthanasia.

5. Do you know who the idol with the highest level of fan culture in the world is? Qin Shi Huang. Because, well, you know why.
