The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 567 Entering the drama
Shen Yanbin finally finished revising the script, swearing that he would be a pig if he revised it again.

Gu Lanxi decided to believe it for the time being.

The creative team held another script reading session.

To avoid upsetting everyone, Shen Yanbin immediately apologized:
"The original plot was indeed a bit far-fetched. As Lanxi said, rich people aren't crazy. Why would they create a fake daughter if their own daughter is gone? It just doesn't make sense. So I changed the later plot. Hehe, as you know, I'm still far from being rich and powerful, and sometimes I inevitably make some assumptions."

Tang Jiarong didn't hesitate to bring up his embarrassing past: "The year we graduated, we were making a graduation short film. He wrote a romance movie about a domineering CEO, and he wrote that the CEO would drive a BMW and have an aura of 2.8 meters tall. When it came time to film, we didn't have enough money, so we rented a Santana."

Everyone burst into laughter!

One of the more shrewd ones even added, "Luckily, there are some really rich people in our crew!"

Seeing Gu Lanxi's speechless expression, someone immediately picked up the conversation: "Lanxi treated us to that Cantonese restaurant last time, it was so delicious! Director, can we go there again for the wrap party?"

People who are well-connected in the industry are generally discerning and know that the shop was owned by Lu Nanting's maternal grandfather.

It's not always that hard for adults to express goodwill.

The slight unpleasantness from just now vanished instantly, and a smile appeared on Gu Lanxi's face, very generously:

"Teacher Tong is a well-known gourmet in the industry. I must thank you on behalf of my uncle for your praise. Words alone are not enough. If the filming goes smoothly, I'll treat everyone to a meal this weekend. There are many things we didn't get to try last time, so I'll have to study the menu carefully this time to avoid repeating anything."

She is wealthy, but she is never envied because she lives a very simple life, never flaunts her wealth, and is truly generous.

She never mistreats those who work for her, and those who cooperate with her often take advantage of her.

Treating the entire crew to milk tea and late-night snacks is standard practice, and they've treated them to lavish meals more than once or twice.

Hearing that she was going to treat everyone again, everyone applauded and their spirits were quickly lifted as they began to study the revised script.

The script is a very brief document. During filming, the main creative team needs to constantly enrich the content. Very few production teams can film a movie exactly as the script is written.

Aside from his inspiration coming rather abruptly and his frequent script revisions, Shen Yanbin had not, in general, changed the script outline before.

This major overhaul even involves changing part of the later outline, so it needs to be treated with caution.

"This strange being constantly tries to understand her, control her, and mentally undermine her. Its ultimate goal is to replace her in this world, because this strange being wants to live in her place. When she is completely replaced, that will be the time when she completely disappears from this world..."

Shen Yanbin distributed the scripts to everyone one by one, and then explained his ideas.

Even if Lin Jiayi is just a low-level worker in society.

In today's data-driven world, enduring loneliness and being trapped by ubiquitous consumerism still has its purpose.

However, only she herself knows the meaning of her existence.

When she was replaced by the supernatural, no one knew except herself.

"Teacher Shen, that last scene was really too frightening!"

Everyone quietly read the script, and after watching the last scene, Gu Lanxi's scalp tingled with anxiety!
“There were two Lin Jiayis, one inside and one outside the door. The one outside went in and closed the door. The next morning, only one of them came out of the house. She locked the door, picked up her bag, went downstairs, went to the breakfast stall, and greeted the grocery store owner. Even her tone of voice was exactly the same as before. So, is she still the same person she was before?”

Gu Lanxi rubbed the goosebumps on her arms, the scene seemingly already in her mind.

"That depends on what the audience thinks."

After a script reading session ended at 3 p.m., the crew was given a rare half-day off to allow everyone to recharge.

Gu Lanxi stood quietly at the entrance of the alley, waiting for the nanny van to pick her up.

The moment the car door opened, she took a step back upon seeing the slightly dark carriage.

Lili quickly stepped forward to support her back.

After the reading session ended, Gu Lanxi saw the door and was reminded of that scene, and her heart began to tremble.

Knowing she was getting a little too into character, she took a deep breath as soon as she got in the car and called Lu Nanting.

Lu Nanting had work today; he went to Harbin to shoot a magazine cover with an ice and snow theme. It didn't go smoothly due to the weather, and he won't be back for another two days.

Gu Lanxi has to start work early tomorrow morning, so I won't be able to go see him. I decided not to tell him about it. Luckily, I'm in Guangzhou, where I have many relatives and friends.

"Go to Yunyin Teahouse."

The driver responded, and then he heard her searching for people online.

When she dropped the person off, several of her close cousins ​​were already waiting for her.

They drank tea and played mahjong until evening, and then had a meal together. Gu Lanxi didn't dare to go home to sleep alone, so she insisted on staying with everyone to sleep with her.

Knowing that she was filming a horror movie recently, and feeling sorry for her being frightened, the sisters were very easygoing. They took her home, found the biggest bed, laid one person on each side, and let her sleep in the middle.

Gu Lanxi had a series of nightmares all night, with the scalp constantly moving between her left and right sides. Her two older sisters, unable to sleep soundly, took turns holding her and patting her.

When Gu Lanxi woke up, she sat blankly in the middle of the bed, her hair a mess, looking a little listless, but at least she had slept enough and was in alright condition.

The two older sisters, sporting panda eyes, got up, handed her over to their assistant, and immediately created a group chat, bringing together the bravest people who were suitable to sleep with her. They then made a schedule based on everyone's schedules, taking turns to pick her up from the film set every day.

Over the next few days, Lu Nanting had just finished shooting for the magazine and was going to attend the opening ceremony of the brand's flagship store, so he had no time to come here.

Gu Lanxi started filming the final, crucial scene, and she was so scared every day that she dared not be alone.

So, the sisters in the Gu family took turns picking her up from get off work.

After returning home, some people arranged for her to eat and play games, some arranged for her to have massages, health care, foot baths, and body scrubbing, and some even took her to play games online. In the end, she always slept in the biggest bed in the house, with her sleeping in the middle.

The paparazzi who had been staking out her commute thought they wouldn't be able to get any photos of her since Lu Nanting wasn't around, but they were surprised to see so many Miss Gu at once.

The Gu family has been wealthy for generations, and through selective breeding, there are practically no ugly children. In addition, as long as the family's financial situation is decent, the children are carefully nurtured from a young age, so it can be said that their demeanor and speech are all excellent.

The photos turned out better and better than the last.

The paparazzi didn't dare to publish the photos without prior notice; they contacted Gu Lanxi first after taking them.

These older sisters were either in school or seriously pursuing their careers. Those idle, dissolute playboys were basically not compatible with her. Gu Lanxi didn't want to expose them and cause them inconvenience, so she had no choice but to pay for the photos.

In the end, what circulated to the fans was just fake news without any photos.

Fans felt sorry for her, but couldn't help but envy her, thinking it was really great that she had so many loving sisters and cousins.

When Lu Nanting returned, he found that Gu Lanxi hadn't dared to go home lately and needed her sisters to stay with her every night to sleep. He felt both sorry for her and angry.

Why didn't you tell me?

"What's the point of saying that? Do you expect me to commute to work at the limit every day, come home, sleep for a while, and then fly off to work again before dawn?"

"Why doesn't it work?"

They have a private plane, and as long as they plan their flight in advance, they have much more freedom than commercial airlines. Why can't they come back?

"I'm fine this way. I don't want you to be so tired."

"At least say something."

"It's nothing serious, you'll only worry if you tell me," Gu Lanxi changed the subject. "By the way, remember to come help me move my luggage when filming wraps up in a few days."

I've been living here for over two months, and I need to take many of my personal belongings home with me.

Lu Nanting sighed, agreed, and then couldn't help but mutter, "Sometimes I really want to retire and enjoy life."

Gu Lanxi pretended not to hear.

When I'm tired, I want to lie down, but if I actually lie at home, I'll feel uncomfortable all over in less than half a month.

Fortunately, this drama was filmed in my hometown.

I have many relatives.
