The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 482 Nonsense
To be fair, most actors are good-looking, and most of them have been used to the benefits of good looks since childhood. Very few of them are willing to settle down and study, so they can hardly be said to have much cultural cultivation.

Furthermore, some people who have been deeply influenced by the glitz and glamour of the entertainment industry have a much lower moral standard than the average person.

In addition, travel is inconvenient and social circles are small. They are often stuck on film sets for months at a time. When life gets boring, it's so cost-effective to just grab a bite of something from the local area!

In fact, many people would rather play the "couple" role on set with someone in the industry than date someone outside the industry.

Firstly, everyone in the industry wants to become famous, and no one will expose the other unless absolutely necessary.

Secondly, it's not so easy to sling people off, because those with nothing to lose are not afraid of those with something to lose. If you're not careful, it could lead to mutual destruction, and your reputation might collapse. Even if it doesn't collapse, your resources will be greatly affected.

Therefore, it's no wonder that outsiders criticize people in this industry for their fancy tricks.

To be frank, there are scumbags everywhere who spend all day thinking about low-life matters.

Otherwise, Gu Lanxi would have chosen very reliable roles, and sometimes actors would have undergone political vetting before signing with a production company, which would have prevented her from encountering so many unpleasant things on set.

When Gu Lanxi was nineteen, she knew nothing and was forced to listen to the demons fighting next door in the middle of the night, so she was really used to it.

I didn't really want to pry too much, and seeing that Nan Zhi's face was almost burning, I was about to end the conversation when Yu Xin came up with her makeup case and immediately told her to do her makeup. Xiao Song, carrying the clean costume, came in a couple of steps behind, closed the door behind her, and as soon as she hung the costume on the rack, she couldn't help but gossip with Niu Lili:
"I remember the guy surnamed Chen had a wife, right? He divorced his ex-wife, the child stayed with her, and later married someone more than ten years younger than him?"

Niu Lili was honest, but she had the strong intuition of an honest person. She sensed that Gu Lanxi didn't want to talk about these things, so she just nodded and didn't say anything.

Yu Xin was in a hurry to put on makeup and didn't have time to gossip. Afraid that Xiao Song would bother her again, she immediately stopped Niu Lili:
“The light is good by the window, Sister Lili, could you do me a favor and move the chair over?” She stared at the rain lily for a few seconds, then smiled and asked Lu Nanting, “Teacher Lu, how about we move this flowerpot to the coffee table for a while? It doesn’t look like it will bloom anytime soon.”

Seeing that Lu Nanting was not very happy and probably wanted someone to bring a table from somewhere else, Yu Xin didn't want to waste any time, so she immediately put on a smile:
"All you guys are thinking about is gossiping! If you ask me, you should spend that time enjoying the sweets around you! Look at these flowers, how beautiful they are! Wasn't that the one Teacher Lu was wearing the other day? Where did you buy it?"

No wonder she guessed it right the first time; the cardboard box was still sitting next to the sofa!
Seeing that the flower buds didn't seem ready to bloom immediately, Lu Nanting picked up the flowerpot. Hearing her say that, he was pleased, but maintained a reserved demeanor, casually replying:
"It's not that great, but it's something special because we planted it ourselves."

"Wow~~"

Everyone immediately cheered.

"Has Teacher Lu been taking care of it these past few days? He's so patient."

"That's so romantic! You two should really be the ones dating."

"To be honest, the reason I haven't been able to find a partner is partly because of you two. Having witnessed perfect love, I'm unwilling to settle. Sigh, it's so tragic!"

Lu Nanting couldn't suppress the urge to smile, so he forced a straight face and waved his hand dismissively, shooing the person away like a fly: "Alright, alright, go do what you're supposed to do!"

After saying that, he packed up the camera and put it on the coffee table.

He had already learned how to set up the device, and he would turn it on when the flowers were about to bloom, so as not to run out of power at a critical moment.

This is my first time growing this flower, who knows how long it will bloom?

After Gu Lanxi finished her makeup, she went to a corner to change into her costume, and Xiao Song checked her twice before inviting her to sit on the sofa for a while.

"I'll go down and see if the matter has been resolved."

Waiting for the assistant director's assistant to call for us is too passive.

Gu Lanxi prefers to take control of situations and dislikes being too passive.

Those who have been with her for a long time understand her personality and will naturally handle things properly.

Gu Lanxi sat down and asked Lu Nanting to operate the camera to see if he knew how to set up time-lapse photography.

Lu Nanting did it again, just like she had done before.

Gu Lanxi nodded.

The two touched heads and exchanged a few more words before Xiao Song returned.

"This guy is insane! Old Deng is shameless. He's demanding 500,000 in compensation right off the bat, not a penny less. Right now he's making a scene demanding a medical examination, saying he's only asking for money because of Sister Bing, otherwise he'd definitely send Brother Lei to jail. When I went downstairs, I happened to hear him yelling, saying we're all men, it was just a joke, how is it sexual harassment? I'm so angry, I'm ready to punch him!"

Gu Lanxi frowned: "We didn't let him leave? What if something happens after the movie is finished? It might affect the release. He's a pretty important supporting actor. We need to find someone to reshoot the scenes as soon as possible."

Rather than taking a risk and facing potential disaster, it's better to cut the Gordian knot quickly. If this guy surnamed Chen is kicked out of the production team for the reason of moral misconduct, it's unlikely he'll ever get a role in a respectable, patriotic production again.

“We’ve already been filming for over a month. If we reshoot his scenes, the losses will be huge, and we might have to increase our investment.”

Yu Xin has been in this line of work for a long time, so she can tell where the difficulties lie as soon as she hears it.

Yu Lili interjected, "Make that guy surnamed Chen pay compensation!"

After listening for a long time, Lu Nanting finally couldn't help but speak:

"His actions were a moral flaw, not a criminal offense. On the contrary, it was Brother Lei who knocked out three of someone's teeth, which is definitely a minor injury, level two, and basically within three years. Add to that the flesh wounds, and it's very likely that he'll be replaced. After all, the production team won't wait for a minor supporting actor to recover. If he tries to blame all the losses on Brother Lei... three years would be too lenient."

To everyone's surprise, he was so knowledgeable about the law that they were all impressed.

Xiao Song sighed helplessly: "Sigh, what a troublesome guy. The two young people have only been working for a few years since graduating from university. How can they afford to pay for this? Besides, he's not emotionally stable. He even got into a fight on set. Maybe other production teams won't dare to hire him. He might not be able to work in this industry anymore."

This is really something.

Gu Lanxi frowned.

There are quite a few immoral people in this world.

But she's not a saint; these people have nothing to do with her, so there's no reason for her to save everyone she sees.

So she quickly finished her makeup and went downstairs.

Not long after, she even sent Niu Lili upstairs to tell Lu Nanting about the filming progress.

Lu Nanting wasn't visiting the set for the first time, so he was very comfortable. He played games for a while, but without his wife to guide him, his score kept going up. He was matched with tough guys, and he was constantly getting caught. In the end, he simply put away his phone, put on some music, and quietly practiced dancing.

The concert was approaching, and he wasn't one to slack off, so he practiced until the sun was setting.

The rain lilies, as usual, failed to bloom today.

When Lu Nanting followed Gu Lanxi out of the film set, he had a stern face.

Even with a mask on and only his eyes showing, all his fans could sense his unhappiness.

So, that evening, as the young couple finished their chicken soup and delicious food and continued making their nail art in the yard, online marketing accounts were already skillfully spouting nonsense—Gu Lanxi was sexually harassed, and Lu Nanting, in a fit of rage for his beloved, knocked out three of the man's teeth!
Both children enrolled today; Er Mao will continue in kindergarten, and Wang Jie will start first grade.

To be honest, I was quite nervous before going to school because Sister Wang had mentioned to me several times that all her friends went to preschool-to-primary transition classes during the summer vacation, while she was the only one who was taken around by me to play all the time.

A lazy mom with a lazy son – it's like driving slowly down the road and suddenly hearing an ambulance siren behind you, with traffic jams ahead and nowhere to move.

When I registered this morning, Sister Wang asked me to take her to see the principal, saying that she would be arriving soon and it wouldn't be right for her not to know the principal.

There will be a parent-teacher meeting this afternoon.

The principal spoke for two hours first.

He is a person with exceptional personal charm, calm and collected. He says things like, "I have a very small request," and "I have only made a little effort." He often says, "We practice holistic education and never focus on grades." In the end, he boasts about his achievements, saying that his children are developing in all aspects of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics, and labor.

Got it, a full roll call is the same as no roll call at all.

The teachers are all young, each with impeccable makeup, and they all wear uniforms regardless of the weather. They are like Principal Wang's team, not only teaching but also learning.

Many parents of previous students went to work at six or seven in the morning, leaving their children at the school gate. The principal would still pick them up with a smile and take them in, and they would start reading before dawn.

There are bookshelves in every nook and cranny of the toilet; feel free to browse.

When I got back, I told Sister Wang about it, hoping to calm her down. But she told me she was going to run for class officer and asked me what qualifications I needed.

I'm trembling with fear, my friends! I've never even been a group leader.

But Juanwang has already started encouraging him. No wonder he's his father's son; his father is tired of being a class monitor.
