The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 565 For the Same Goal

"Seriously! What kind of plot is this? Does it have to be this absurd? Rich people aren't stupid, okay? Why would they buy a fake when their own child has passed away? What high-end customization? Can feelings be customized? Can people be customized too?!"

Shen Yanbin finally returned from the temple, exuding the fragrance of sandalwood. He was dressed in an earth-yellow monk's robe. Seeing Gu Lanxi angrily roll up the script and slam it on the table, he quickly raised his left hand, rapidly twirling the Bodhi seed hanging in his palm, and calmly said, "Amitabha."

Very speechless.

Having such a screenwriter who is bursting with inspiration and has incredible drive is amazing. New ideas come out in the blink of an eye, and once a new idea is in hand, the script can be revised overnight. After the revision, the screenwriter can quickly convince everyone to film it according to his ideas.

What's most annoying is that when Gu Lanxi signed the contract, she didn't object to the clause that allowed the creative team to revise the script within a certain range.

As a result, less than two months after filming began, the script had already been updated to its twelfth version.

Even with her excellent memory, she was finding it a bit too much.

Because acting is not simply about memorizing lines, but about expressing emotions coherently.

How to perform well requires constant time and effort to figure out.

No wonder the other actors broke down and howled in the middle of the night, clinging to the iron bars of the window.

They're always filming all-nighters and constantly changing the script; anyone would find that unbearable.

The local residents thought it was a movie shoot.

It's a thriller, so it must be really scary.

It must be terrifying to hear someone howling like that.

Some people even expressed their anticipation, saying that they would definitely go see the movie when it was released to see if this scene was actually in the final cut.

Sometimes even getting angry feels exhausting.

Gu Lanxi sighed wearily and reminded the two old partners, "You two, really, can you take it easy? My schedule is due in half a month. I understand your desire to be perfect, but if the repeated revisions cause the movie to not finish filming on time, let me tell you, it will be very difficult for me to find the time. Besides, the investment is limited, so it's better to consider things more comprehensively."

The pursuit of the ultimate in art consumes not only time, but also money.

Time and money are not yours alone, so you have no right to act recklessly.

Logically speaking, in order to smoothly advance the plot, the script should be written in advance and should not be changed afterward if possible. Shen Yanbin is really being a bit willful.

However, this is not entirely his fault; Tang Jiarong spoiled him.

Tang Jiarong looked embarrassed and nudged Shen Yanbin, who was sitting to his right with dark circles under his eyes, with his elbow: "Bin, did you hear that? I told you to take it easy?"

Seeing that his face had turned red and he couldn't find the words for a long time, Tang Jiarong knew his personality, chuckled, and began to play the emotional card:
"Xi, we've had such a great working relationship, we're good friends now, right? It'll only be a day or two difference then..."

Gu Lanxi sighed softly, beckoned Nanzhi over, opened her tablet, and showed him her activity schedule.

Starting from the corporate leaders' annual meeting the day after filming wrapped, the schedule was packed with activities including shooting promotional materials, attending brand events, holding concerts, meeting with bosses, and walking the red carpet.

Until the end of January, the schedule was accurate to the half-hour.

If filming can't be completed and reshoots are needed, it will have to wait until she has time next year.

"Well, there are still a few days left before the New Year."

Okay, so I'm not even planning to let her have a proper New Year.

Gu Lanxi was so angry she laughed:
"Can you get the crew back together for me to do reshoots? Or can you snatch me away from Ni Bingyan so I don't have to go on the promotional tour?"

"Is 'Above the Stars' going to be released so soon?"

Gu Lanxi sighed softly and stared at him without saying a word.

The movies that she approves of are bound to have excellent production values ​​and marketing.

Besides, modern dramas are easy to post-production, and this one is a patriotic and revolutionary subject, so there's no problem with getting it approved. Filming wrapped up at the end of July, and it was released during the Lunar New Year holiday, which isn't fast at all.

Shen Yanbin finally managed to squeeze out a promise: "Give me one more day, and I promise I'll hand you the final draft of the script first thing the day after tomorrow. You've also put a lot into this film, and I believe you want to make it even better, right? We're doing our best for the same goal, aren't we?"

She wanted to ignore him, but this guy, who was clearly not very eloquent, would start talking non-stop once he started talking about the script, like the Yellow River overflowing its banks, and she couldn't stop him.

Moreover, what he said is quite right.

She's a businesswoman; in her entire life, aside from loving Lu Nanting unconditionally, she always prioritizes return on investment in everything she does.

For more than two months, she devoted herself to this film. She couldn't accept it if it couldn't be released smoothly or if there were any flaws.

In the end, he had no choice but to sigh.

Tang Jiarong once joked that Gu Lanxi and Shen Yanbin had similar personalities, like water, never competing for the lead, but winning with their endless chatter.

Gu Lanxi just sighed and didn't say anything until Tang Jiarong made a promise, then she reluctantly nodded.

"I know I need to elevate the theme, but if I force it to be awkward, I'm afraid I won't be able to face myself when I'm old."

Tang Jiarong snorted, his tone quite dissatisfied: "Why don't you just say you're afraid this movie will become a black mark on your history?"

Gu Lanxi chuckled: "Good to know."

After she finished speaking, someone saw Lu Nanting's car pull up to the alley entrance from the window and hurried in to call out to her:
"Sister Xi, Teacher Lu is here to pick you up after get off work!"

Without hesitation, Gu Lanxi said, "That's settled then, I'll head back now," picked up her bag, and walked away. At the alley entrance, she saw Lu Nanting had already gotten out of the car.

Leaning against the car door, hands in his pockets, he stood there lazily, not looking at his phone, just quietly staring at the alley entrance.

It's getting cold, and he's wearing a turtleneck sweater. He recently got a short haircut, and he looks particularly cold and cool.

A figure rushed out of the alley, a smile immediately appearing on his face. He pounced on her, put his hands under her armpits, lifted her up and kissed her. Without hesitation, he put her down, opened the door, and shoved her inside.

Gu Lanxi was filming in Guangzhou, and Lu Nanting would come over whenever he had free time, always sticking to her.

While filming, he was watching from the sidelines, and Gu Lanxi's eyes kept drifting towards him. What should have been a thriller felt like a romance drama.

This caused Old Tang to clutch his chest and yell for nitroglycerin pills, until Lu Nanting agreed not to come to the film set, at which point he returned to normal.

However, this did not stop the peacock from displaying its feathers. Even though he only went out to pick people up and drop them off every day, this man did not forget to dress up exquisitely.

He even practices physical fitness while driving, striking poses and being photographed countless times as the "most handsome male star driving."

Because of the presence of the top celebrity couple, the attention surrounding "The Tenants" has remained consistently high since filming began.

Besides paparazzi, there are also the two's fans and paparazzi who make money off them.

If it weren't for the unique terrain here, we probably wouldn't even be able to take normal photos.

The couple doesn't get along too much in their daily lives, but there's always a natural sweetness in their relationship.

Even before the movie was finished filming, fans had already thoroughly enjoyed watching "Lanting Couple's Dog Food Diary," and recently they've been eagerly anticipating seeing the two of them together every day.

The young couple also have good mental fortitude, completely ignoring the attention of others and living their lives as usual.

If it's sweet, give it a couple of kisses; if it's not, roll your eyes and grumble a few words.

It was quite late when Gu Lanxi finished work that day. She got into the car, too tired to talk. She took out her thermos, unscrewed the lid, and drank the throat-soothing tea that Lu Nanting had brought.

As Lu Nanting started the car, he smiled and handed her his phone: "I saw a really interesting video today, take a look and relax?"

"What video?"

"A sweet compilation edited by fans."

Gu Lanxi was quite happy to watch this, so she put down her cup and took the phone.

Then I looked at the question and was speechless.

"Top-tier beast tamer? A mysterious class I'd kneel down to learn from? Are you sure this is a sweet compilation? There's even a typo in the title, who wants to be her best friend..."

Lu Nanting's lips curled up, and he couldn't help but laugh: "Ignore the clickbait title, just read the content."

Gu Lanxi disliked wrongly accusing others, so she actually clicked on the video and watched it carefully.

This is a video compilation, containing footage of the two appearing together, as well as candid shots of them in private.

The story begins with Lu Nanting talking to a woman. She beckons with a cold face, and Lu Nanting immediately drops her and runs to her to cheer her up.

Then she frowned, and Lu Nanting immediately reached out and caught the grape seeds she spat out.

She was sitting, and as soon as she raised her hands, Lu Nanting walked up to her without saying a word and gave her a hug.

There was a pile of dishes on the table. With just one glance, Lu Nanting took the vinegar and put a few drops into her dish...

The two didn't appear together often, but that video was edited to a length of twelve minutes and eight seconds.

Gu Lanxi blushed, her eyes darting around, and she secretly glanced at Lu Nanting.

Seeing that the car had entered the garage and slowed down, she quietly asked him, "Did I really do that?"

Lu Nanting laughed and didn't say anything.

Only after parking the car did he take the opportunity, while unbuckling her seatbelt, to put his arm around the back of her head and kiss her.

"It's not pretentious at all. We're just more in sync and closer. That's how it is for people in love. Isn't that sweet?"

Gu Lanxi glared at him, said nothing, pushed open the car door, and left.

Okay, I'm sorry about that.

Lu Nanting followed behind, unable to contain his laughter.

The laughter was so loud that it echoed continuously in the underground parking garage, attracting many neighbors to peek out.

Gu Lanxi felt increasingly embarrassed, so she turned around, grabbed him, and left.

"Hey, I also found a collection of sweet romance videos of the Lanting couple today. It's three and a half hours long. Do you want to watch it?"

Gu Lanxi immediately let go, ran away quickly, and ignored him completely.

Late at night, Gu Jianglu rolled over, silently found the video, and filed a report with his real name.

Animal tamer, ha!
