The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 506 Shock
The entertainment industry bigwigs held meetings for three consecutive days. The hard benches made many of them suffer from hemorrhoids, and they all made phone calls to berate Gu Lanxi.

This includes Lu Nanting's cousin, Jiang Yan.

When the phone rang, it was full of complaints; it was practically Zhong Zhihong Ultra.

Those who directly call and curse at her are usually close friends or family. People who aren't close to her are afraid of offending her and wouldn't dare to reveal anything in front of her that might be over-interpreted.

In order to eradicate the bad practices in this industry, the relevant departments have made the greatest determination. At this time, the big shots who are the industry leaders do not dare to go against the grain.

I would never make such a call unless I was close to her.

After all, it's standard practice in the entertainment industry to record phone calls.

Many couples, even when deeply in love and chatting on the phone, remember to do this to avoid having no leverage in a fight if they break up, let alone among scheming colleagues.

So when Gu Lanxi received the phone call and was scolded, she not only wasn't angry, but she would also smile and flatter the other person:
"I just don't believe that someone as wise as you can't see the negative impact of these bad practices on the industry."

"After all, even a young person like me knows that only when the industry flourishes and the social evaluation of related practitioners improves will everyone have a bright future."

"A sieve can't hold water. If you want to eat fish, everyone should mend the net together. That's the right way."

“A big shot like you has too many factors to consider when doing things, unlike me, who is young, inexperienced, and has the capital to make reckless mistakes.”

"Although I inevitably suffer some grievances, it's alright. With so many seniors protecting and supporting me, I think my future path will be smoother."

On the phone, Gu Lanxi spoke with a smile, gentle and kind, and her words were truly comforting to listen to.

Even if she were to get really angry, the movie hasn't even finished filming yet, and she already has a dinner invitation line that stretches until the end of the year.

As for film offers, whenever there is a suitable role for her, all parties are trying to get scripts for her.

Even if she works until the end of August and then decides she doesn't want to film anymore, it won't make a difference.

They spoke eloquently, subtly and overtly soliciting investment, and were also very sincere. They told her to take a look at the scripts, and if she liked any, she could accept them; if not, they would offer advice on casting.

"You have such strong values ​​and a broad perspective. The person you recommend can't be wrong."

Because of these words, Chen Lei, who had just landed a film and television contract with Gu Lanxi and was hated by a bunch of big shots who wanted to strangle her to death, finished filming in mid-July and had to join another production in August.

Everyone in the industry knows that Gu Lanxi has amazing resources, but outsiders still lack imagination about just how good they are.

When Chen Lei first saw Gu Lanxi choosing a script in the crew's lounge, her eyes widened like saucers!

There are over a hundred good scripts that will be filmed in the next year or two, and they are piled up on the coffee table.

This was still a reliable production team that Mei Xue had initially screened.

"Choose one. Starting now, you can film until the end of next year. Taking on four movies isn't too much to ask, right? We'll give you a break at the end of next year to get married and have a baby. By the time the baby can run around, these movies will have almost finished airing, and then you can go back to work."

Boss Gu never does business at a loss; he's very shrewd and calculating.

The reason she put in so much effort was that she not only signed Chen Lei's film and television contract, but also secured her commercial endorsements.

Although she only received 8% of the revenue share, Chen Lei is a workaholic with high national recognition and strong earning power. She can earn 200 to 300 million yuan annually from commercial deals alone, in addition to her film and television fees.

Signing her would be like getting tens of millions for free every year; a three-year contract would be almost a small fortune.

For Gu Lanxi, this is a good investment.

She only signed a three-year contract and had no intention of taking advantage of Chen Lei's misfortune or trapping her.

When the contract was finalized, Chen Lei spent several nights pondering what Boss Gu was really after.
She only has a studio, not a large entertainment company, so she can't use her artists to increase the company's valuation.

How could they just give such a plump golden lamb a light pluck and let her go?
It must be said that Gu Lanxi's uprightness and magnanimity are completely different from those vampires who want to squeeze every last drop of oil out of her.

The script was on the coffee table. Chen Lei quickly flipped through it and wanted Gu Lanxi to help her choose, but when she saw Gu Lanxi's eyes, she couldn't bring herself to say it.

Trying to decipher Gu Lanxi's thoughts, Chen Lei read through all the scripts and finally carefully selected four. If someone still doesn't know what to eat when you've already fed them, then they're not worth cultivating.

Three days later, Gu Lanxi took the script she handed over, glanced at it, and nodded in satisfaction.

Chen Lei breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that she might not be satisfied.

Of the four films, there are commercial films aimed at box office success, art films aimed at awards, films that broaden her acting range and break through her own limitations, and films that guarantee a solid foundation. These were all decided after careful consideration.

To be honest, she's not a very good learner, and her brain isn't particularly sharp, but she has an almost animalistic intuition. When making choices, she always manages to pick the option that's most advantageous to her.

Once the contract was signed, the person who thought he was going to be sidelined was transformed into a movie star with great potential, about to make his way to the big screen.

Before this, Chen Lei never even dared to imagine it.

But, with Gu Lanxi's help, she did it.

After resolving Chen Lei's matter, Gu Lanxi spent the next week, apart from filming, preparing gifts for Lu Nanting.

In order to make time to celebrate his birthday with his family, Lu Nanting has been working non-stop lately, making it difficult for the two of them to even see each other.

Gu Lanxi was in a good mood and kept herself busy every day.

Then Chen Lei suffered.

After finalizing her general work arrangements for the next year or so, Gu Lanxi handed her over to Sister Mei.

Even though their film sets were next to each other, every time she went to find Gu Lanxi, Gu Lanxi was either busy or not there.

There have been rumors that it's very difficult to meet Gu Lanxi. I didn't think so a while ago, but now I feel it's true, and it's not a lie at all.

Gu Lanxi hates pointless socializing. Once she's done with her business, she prefers to be alone and do what she likes.

Chen Lei had always suspected that she had a bit of aversion to stupidity.

Sister Mei has been staying with her lately, helping her sort out her work. She then pulled Sister Mei aside to grumble, and received two big eye rolls in return.

"Why do you stick to her all the time? Don't you have anything to do?"

Chen Lei is quite addicted to the internet; she spends all day either playing games or browsing gossip online. When Sister Mei pointed it out, although she was embarrassed, she still confessed:

"I want her to help me play PUBG. I saw her playing with Teacher Lu last time, and she seemed pretty good at it..."

Such a big thing, and it's only been a few days?

I don't know whether to say she's carefree or just insensitive, but that's how she has the energy to think about playing PUBG.

Mei Xue was speechless.

"Hurry up and read the script! You'll be joining another production in a few days, don't you know how to rush things!"

Chen Lei pouted, not daring to disobey her new agent, and obediently picked up the script to read.

Mei Xue always smiles in front of Gu Lanxi, like a Maitreya Buddha, seemingly without any temper. But don't forget who her previous boss was.

Chen Lei had been reading the script for several days when she overheard her assistant Yao Yao gossiping with someone. She then learned that the guy surnamed Gu was incredibly good at betraying his teammates, and that people from several other film crews knew about it.

I couldn't help but sigh inwardly, thank goodness.

"Plus" and "ultra" are just a meme.

Plus is essentially an enhanced version, a higher-end version, or a value-added version.

Ultra ≈ Supreme Edition, Ultimate Edition, Flagship Edition, Ultra… (e.g., Ultra HD, Ultra Thin).
