The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 620 The First Solo Singing and Dancing Stage

The Beijing TV Spring Festival Gala was pre-recorded. On the evening of the first day of the Lunar New Year, the day it was officially broadcast, Gu Lanxi had a rare day off and was able to sit in front of the TV with her family to watch it.

As the program progressed one by one and her turn was fast approaching, Gu Lanxi felt extremely uneasy and gently nudged Lu Nanting's lower back.

Lu Nanting understood, picked up Tuantuan, and quietly went upstairs with her. They turned on the TV upstairs, and the three of them watched it alone.

Gu Lanxi breathed a sigh of relief, gulped down a glass of warm water, and then plopped down on the sofa. She turned to talk to Lu Nanting, who had just put down the remote control:

"Singing and dancing at the same time is really difficult! I was counting the beats while singing, afraid of making a mistake..."

Gu Lanxi was a little worried: "Do you think that after watching my performance, a large number of fans will stop supporting me? Even if the fans are tolerant, the general public will definitely say some harsh things."

This time, she had no choice but to force herself into the situation.

For over a year, she hasn't found a script that appeals to her. With the end of the year approaching and a young baby at home, she can't join any productions. To maintain her exposure, she can only participate in more events.

There were no movies released this year. Back in November, "Above the Stars" was nominated for the Golden Rooster Award, but she was in postpartum confinement and couldn't attend. Ni Bingyan accepted the award on her behalf.

There are fashion celebrations and Weibo Night events at the end of the year, but walking the red carpet too much makes you look like a "carpet star," which inevitably isn't very dignified.

As for variety shows, appearing on too many would make her a variety show personality, which would also lower her value.

But she can't stay silent forever until "The Tenants" is released or her next movie is officially announced.

With so many endorsements under her belt, if her traffic and data don't keep up, renewing contracts will be difficult, and signing new endorsements will also be met with a lukewarm reception, which won't be so favorable for her.

Another point is that having too much of her time at business association annual meetings will blur her image as a female celebrity. In the future, when people mention her, their impression of her may be more focused on her as a female entrepreneur, which will also be detrimental to her development in the entertainment industry.

Without hype, high-profile events like the Spring Festival Gala and New Year's Eve Gala would be a good fit for her.

To be fair, Gu Lanxi is a complete novice when it comes to singing and dancing. Although she has practiced martial arts since childhood and is not as stiff as other artists, she does not have the ease and fluency that can only be acquired through long-term training.

Lu Nanting knew her dancing skills very well. Seeing that she was so nervous that she couldn't even watch with her family, he quickly put his arm around her and gently comforted her:
"Don't worry, as long as you don't make any mistakes, that's good enough. Compared to someone as serious as you, there are too many mediocre people in this industry. Even if you're the tallest among the short, you're still the top student!"

Gu Lanxi sighed softly, "You didn't go to the rehearsal and recording either, so I really wasn't sure what to expect."

Tuantuan is still young, the weather is so cold, and there are so many people at the scene. Lu Nanting has to take care of the child, so it's impossible for him to accompany her to the scene.

Moreover, since Tuantuan was born, the whole world has been waiting for her photos. The couple has protected their child very well. Even though they have several nannies at home, they always make sure one of them stays home to take care of the child.

Gu Lanxi was just saying it casually, and she didn't mean to complain.

But Lu Nanting didn't mention this reason that they both knew; instead, he comforted them with a smile:
"Don't worry, even if you don't believe in yourself, you have to believe in me! I'm not holding anything back from you. According to your martial arts rules, you are my one and only inner disciple. If you look down on yourself, aren't you looking down on me?"

"Sigh, talking about this makes me even more anxious. Everyone can tell from my style that you taught me. Will Sister Dragonfly scold me for not performing well and dragging you down?"

“There are very few extreme solo fans left. Our relationship is different from those who create a CP (couple pairing) by fanfiction.”

After being comforted by him, Gu Lanxi's emotions stabilized.

Seeing Tuantuan nestled in her father's arms, craning her neck to look at this and that, her little ears perked up high, he couldn't help but laugh and took her into his arms.

With her head resting on her shoulder, Tuantuan could only see the money tree behind them; she couldn't see the TV or her parents, and her lips twitched as if she was about to cry.

Gu Lanxi quickly grabbed her armpits, lifted her up to eye level, and gave her a loud kiss on the forehead. Tuantuan immediately grinned and forgot to cry.

Gu Lanxi was amused by her, and her mood completely relaxed:
"Sigh, the performance is over, there's no way to change it, good or bad. I'd better take on fewer jobs like this in the future. Otherwise, even just standing still and performing is better than singing and dancing."

"Tsk, don't take it so seriously. Many people with solid basic skills and outstanding talent can't make it big. Small fame depends on promotion, big fame depends on fate. With your current status, as long as you don't make any mistakes, that's the biggest victory."

Even having a baby this year didn't stop her from getting another Best Actress nomination. Many people struggle for at least twenty years for this, and still don't get it!

Gu Lanxi's luck in the entertainment industry is truly amazing.

Another point is that the show's producers easily gained two trending topics by using the gimmick of "Gu Lanxi's first solo singing and dancing performance." They didn't invite her because of her outstanding singing and dancing skills. What Lu Nanting didn't say was that he always felt that Gu Lanxi's dancing had a kind of pure yet seductive feel to it. Even though the moves were obviously very alluring, whenever she did them, it felt like an innocent child had learned some kind of seductive trick to force herself to perform.

This sense of contradiction is very eye-catching.

In his opinion, even though Gu Lanxi would secretly tap her feet to the beat while dancing, her expression was still adorable.

Moreover, Gu Lanxi is a very professional actress. She is very good at managing her facial expressions, and her various small expressions are especially vivid and cute. In a sense, this is a talent that is difficult for others to imitate.

Gu Lanxi received far too little praise in this regard; she lacked confidence, and whenever she spoke of it, she inevitably drew criticism.

The family of three was watching TV quietly when they noticed that Tuantuan started yawning. Gu Lanxi quickly picked her up, patted her gently, and carried her into the bedroom.

As usual, we went back to the old house for the Chinese New Year. The children had visited many times before, so it wasn't unfamiliar to them.

Tuantuan is very well-behaved. She's a baby who takes a very laid-back approach to life but has a strong emotional need.

She rarely cries or fusses because she's hungry, sleepy, or needs a diaper change. Whenever she's unhappy, it's because her parents aren't paying enough attention to her.

With her gentle mother patting and soothing her to sleep, she quickly fell asleep.

Fearing she might accidentally fall off the bed, Gu Lanxi gently lifted the railing after getting out of bed before tiptoeing out.

When she came out, her show had already ended.

Gu Lanxi breathed a sigh of relief for no apparent reason.

He pretended to be calm and took out his phone to watch the fans' screen recording.

Unexpectedly, the comments section was full of positive reviews.

Some praised her for her steady stage presence, some praised her for her long breath control and ability to sing and dance without changing her pitch, and others praised her for her clear enunciation, saying that even with her eyes closed, they could hear what she was singing.

Especially the rap in the middle, every word is very clear, even a little dragonfly can't say anything bad about it.

As for those who praise her outfits and makeup, Gu Lanxi has seen it so many times that she's long been used to it.

That night, while the others stayed up to welcome the New Year, they assumed that the two of them were going upstairs early to put Tuantuan to sleep, unaware that Gu Lanxi's emotions had been fluctuating wildly for some time.

That evening, the two of them tucked Tuantuan into the foot of the bed, cuddled together, and chatted about their performance this year, while also looking forward to next year's development. As they talked, they couldn't help but burst into laughter.

With a successful career and a happy family, they are the epitome of a winner in life. They have absolutely no complaints about their current situation.

Unexpectedly, before the Spring Festival holiday was even over, the first big news of the year arrived.

Originally, it had nothing to do with the two of them, but somehow it managed to get in on their trail in a bizarre way.

When Lu Nanting received Yuan Ge's call and figured out what was going on, he was speechless.

With the kids on holiday and no longer worried about them being late, I've discovered that my sleep quality can be quite good.

I slept for most of the day today, and I'm still feeling sleepy tonight.

My perception of time has also become somewhat blurred.

Seeing that I had a lot of monthly votes in the background, I checked the time and realized it was almost the end of the month again.

Thank you everyone for your monthly votes. I'm getting older and have more things to do, so my update frequency can't compare to when I was younger. I'm really sorry.

Thank you for your kind words. Although I feel ashamed, I still accept them with my back straight.

Since everyone here has excellent judgment, it's inappropriate to be overly self-deprecating.

February is peaceful.
