The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 459 The Wind of March
The reading session ended promptly at 6:30.

After a busy day, and without a midday nap, Gu Lanxi was a little tired.

After packing her things and carrying her backpack, Gu Lanxi rode her skateboard into the elevator, then out of the hotel booked by the film crew. With a quick step, she propped the skateboard up and held it down, standing patiently by the roadside, waiting for her driver to come and pick her up.

There will probably be another drizzling spring rain tonight. The sky is gloomy, making one want to sigh.

Normally, Gu Lanxi prefers to sit on the sidelines and listen in crowded places, but during the script reading, as the female lead, she had a lot of lines, and by this point, her voice was hoarse.

The crew of over a hundred people had gathered at this hotel. Gu Lanxi was going home, while the others either had appointments or were tired of the hotel's communal meals and planned to go out for a meal. When they saw her there, they couldn't help but come over and exchange a few pleasantries.

The driver was stuck in traffic, and there was still one intersection to go. Gu Lanxi didn't want to talk, but she couldn't just ignore people, so she simply took out her phone and pretended to be very busy.

Lu Nanting sent her photos of her departure for the fashion show that afternoon. She had a clean and refreshing look, soft and fluffy curly hair, and a few dark green ribbons fluttering gently on her black coat. The brooch was a flying swallow, pinned to the side of the ribbons. It was very artistic and reminded people of the poem "Swallows flying lightly among the willows".

Many people don't know that swallows are not actually black, but rather have a metallic sheen that blends deep blue, blue-green, and purple-blue hues.

Lu Nanting took a close-up photo of the brooch, which showed its exceptionally beautiful fire effect.

On the swallow's back, besides white diamonds, there are gemstones in various shades of blue and purple, with one or two inconspicuous green gemstones occasionally scattered in the middle. When the camera zooms out, Gu Lanxi immediately thinks of the colorful black.

It feels quite amazing.

Gu Lanxi was halfway through showering him with compliments, having just replied with "You are the wind of March," when the car stopped in front of her.

The driver, Lao Li, got out of the car with a smile, took the skateboard from her hand, opened the trunk and put it in. He then saw that she had already opened the car door and gotten in, fastening her seatbelt.

Without further ado, I returned to the driver's seat and started the car.

There was no need for makeup or styling at the script reading session. You just had to sit there, read the script, and discuss the plot and characters. Gu Lanxi gave her assistant a day off.

For the next few months, everyone will be working long hours with her, leaving early and returning late, which will be very tiring.

Halfway home, Gu Lanxi received a call from Fang Yuan, who told her that "Lurking" had been scheduled for release on May 1st.

Fang Yuan is the vice president of Starlight Entertainment, specializing in film production. Starlight invested in the film "Lurking," and she was also its producer.

Gu Lanxi signed with Starlight Entertainment when she debuted, and the two parties have had a pleasant working relationship over the years. In addition, she married Lu Nanting and became related to the CEO of Starlight Entertainment, so Fang Yuan's attitude towards her has become even better.

However, the friendliness she displayed did not come across as obsequious.

"The official Weibo account will post later, and the publicity will gradually roll out. Remember to repost it, or you can post it yourself, but you should communicate with the publicity team before posting to avoid any problems."

She was the female lead, and once the release date was set, the producer should have called her. As usual, Fang Yuan was decisive and efficient, and after a brief greeting, she started talking about the project.

But after she finished speaking, she asked a few more questions out of concern.

"When does your new movie start filming? If you can't find the time during the promotional tour, just follow the minimum standards stipulated in the contract."

Due to risk considerations, there were several investors for "Above the Stars" as usual, but the power of decision-making remained in Ni Bingyan's hands.

Ni Bingyan's company doesn't train artists; all the staff serve her alone. There's never been much conflict with Starlight Entertainment. Not only are her family and in-laws very powerful, but her husband is also exceptionally capable. No matter how strong someone's background is in the industry, people who want to have more friends and more opportunities won't offend her.

The movie will be released on May 1st, and the intensive promotional period will begin in late April. At that time, "Above the Stars" will be in the midst of intense filming. No matter how big your face is, you can't possibly lure the female lead out and have her run around with the main cast and crew all over the country.

Knowing it's impossible, it's better to sell it in advance.

It must be said that Fang Yuan, although a bit shrewd and calculating, is indeed an elite with both high emotional and intellectual intelligence.

Gu Lanxi recalled the contents of the contract, but did not respond to her, only saying that the specific itinerary needed to be discussed with the team.

Fang Yuan didn't care about verbal promises; mentioning it was merely to express his attitude. Gu Lanxi hung up the phone and immediately called Mei Xue.

Mei Xuezheng has just received an email from the publicity company and is figuring out how to promote the product.

Upon receiving the call, I couldn't help but laugh: "I thought you weren't finished on your end, and I was planning to call you later. Since someone has already notified you, I'll send you the photos and text later, remember to send them to me."

Compared to directly reposting official posts, posting a more interesting Weibo post of her own makes her seem more dedicated.

Gu Lanxi's voice was hoarse, so she simply replied, "Okay."

That's the difference between an agent and a producer.

Fang Yuan didn't ask about the hoarse voice, but Mei Xue immediately frowned and said, "Your voice is a little hoarse, you should rest."

Afterwards, I couldn't help but urge, "Take Lili with you tomorrow!"

Gu Lanxi shook her head: "Why bring her along? Just to wait for me all day? Let her rest for a few more days. She'll be joining the crew soon and won't have a break for several months."

Mei Xue respected her idea and knew that she had a housekeeper at home and was not short of people to take care of her before joining the crew, so she immediately compromised.

But she brought up another matter: "Your business has been increasing this year, and I'm really overwhelmed. Xiaotong has also trained well and is almost ready to switch roles. You only have Lili as your personal assistant, and if something happens or you get sick, there's not even anyone to take turns. I'm planning to find you another assistant."

This is indeed a problem.

Gu Lanxi nodded in agreement: "Lili will continue to be my personal assistant and take care of me. Find me someone capable, preferably a girl, who can manage my schedule and handle various trivial matters for me. She should have a good personality and not be a chatterbox. Remember, don't recruit any fans; they have too much of a filter on me."

Mei Xue noted everything down. Seeing that the graphic designer had already finished retouching the images, she immediately hung up the phone and sent over the materials.

These steps had already been confirmed by the publicity team, and the release date had been set, making it very easy for Gu Lanxi to complete.

Once you get home, just send out the checkpoint.

After posting the official announcement of the release date of "Lurking" on Weibo, I browsed the trending topics for Lu Nanting's handsome photos. When I reopened WeChat, I saw that Lu Nanting had already replied.

He completed Gu Lanxi's nonsensical sentence:
You are the wind of March.

I am the rain of March.

You are in me, and I am in you.

Gu Lanxi stared wide-eyed for a long time, feeling like she was being teased, but the other person looked completely serious.

After thinking for a long time, I couldn't come up with a suitable response, so I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Stars in the Sky

While eating noodles, I accidentally splattered a bunch of oil spots. I tugged at my clothes and asked Er Mao if he could count how many spots there were.

Er Mao counted twice carefully, but he kept forgetting to count fourteen when he got to thirteen. I patiently taught him to count twice and asked him if it looked like a sky full of stars. He said it did.

Then we were all very happy.

Although there's nothing to be happy about, oil stains are really hard to wash off.

However, once you can face life's hardships with a smile, you'll feel like you've cultivated a positive mindset, and you'll probably never lose the ability to feel joy no matter what happens in the future.

I've always felt that this is the key to happiness.
