The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 697 Two-way journey
"Is that how it is in your line of work? Love and hate are equally intense. You can view those who hate you in a normal way, so why can't you maintain a normal attitude towards those who love you? To be honest, I don't quite understand you."

My good friend Mi Duoduo had just finished a two-year confidential project and came out of the Gobi Desert. When she learned that Gu Lanxi had given birth, she came to Shanghai immediately.

She didn't want to date, get married, or have children, but she was completely powerless against the cute little dumpling. These past few days, she either stayed on set with Gu Lanxi while filming, or she clung to the little dumpling and went out to play. She was living a very comfortable life.

When Gu Lanxi received the project invitation, she was lying on the side, lazily scrolling through Weibo.

Hearing Gu Lanxi sigh after hanging up the phone, Mi Duoduo immediately looked up.

It seems like the entertainment industry has been hit by a run of bad luck lately, with one scandal after another, leaving gossip lovers exhausted, and yet new scandals keep popping up.

For a career-minded person like Mi Duoduo, her own life may be monotonous, but she cannot ignore the excitement of others, otherwise it would be like forgetting to add salt when cooking.

In particular, you can meet people in the industry, gossip about it, exclaim "Oh my god!", and then ask, "Is it true?"

But other people's gossip is never as interesting as the gossip around us.
Mi Duoduo is a researcher with a secure job, so she doesn't speak with the smooth-talking sophistication of people in the field. Since she's curious, she'll naturally ask.

Gu Lanxi and she had a good relationship. In the past two years, apart from occasionally receiving a call from her, they could not contact each other on weekdays. Whenever they met, they had endless things to talk about.

Seeing her curiosity, Gu Lanxi told her about her previous unsuccessful birdwatching trip.

When she was on the shuttle bus into the reserve, she talked to others about her goals, and the fans overheard her. But when she came out, she said she hadn't seen them, and the fans overheard that too.

Just two days after they returned, good news arrived.

It's obvious how this opportunity came about.

This put a lot of pressure on her.

“When I encounter people who dislike me, I can just ignore them. No matter how bad their attitude is, I won’t feel guilty. But when people like me and do things for me quietly, it’s not necessarily a difficult thing. However, when they treat my small wishes as big things, I feel uncomfortable because I haven’t done anything for them.”

Do you remember when you first had fans come to visit you?

“I assaulted someone on set, and someone came all the way from Guizhou, carrying an old hen from his home, and told me that it wasn’t my fault.”

Do you remember what happened back then?

“At that time, the crew was filming in a very remote place. The shelter was made of plastic sheeting and there was no fan. I rolled up my costume and went to see her in slippers. When I heard her words, I couldn’t help but cry. I felt very sorry for making her come all this way, and I kept apologizing to her. But she said that she wanted to come herself, that it was her own choice and had nothing to do with me. She said that it was already a good thing for her that I agreed to see her.”

Lili brought over a pot of hot tea, and Gu Lanxi picked it up, poured a cup for Mi Duoduo, and then placed the pastries that Nanzhi had specially driven to buy in front of Mi Duoduo.

She needs to be on camera, so she doesn't dare to eat too many snacks on weekdays. She already ate one in the morning, and she definitely won't eat any more now.

Do you feel indebted to her and want to repay her?

"I just felt a warmth in my heart. I didn't feel like I owed her anything. Because she said she liked the way I worked hard for my dreams and appreciated my excellence. I felt that I had already met her expectations and could accept her kindness."

"Isn't that settled? As an artist, if you don't lose your looks, your skills are on point, you live a healthy life, and your values ​​are sound, then for your fans, all you need to do is focus on being the best version of yourself, and that's the best mutual support. Why worry so much? To put it bluntly, they do these things willingly, not because you made them do them, so why be upset?"

"It feels different, doesn't it?"

"Are you unhappy because they interfered in your private life?"

"Not really."

"Oh, are you worried that they'll owe you too much and be unable to repay the debt of gratitude?"

"A bit, I guess. It feels like it's crossed a certain line."

Watching her movies, she feels that she did a good job making them and choosing the right team; the movies are excellent and worth the ticket price. Buying products she endorses, she feels that she carefully selected the products before endorsing them and even personally tried them; the products are good enough and worth the investment. Meeting her in person, she feels that she always dresses up carefully and treats everyone kindly, making everyone's trip worthwhile.

Now, even if we have to pull strings to get something done for her just to make her happy, she feels a bit... how should I put it?

"I feel like I'm a bit... well, that kind of femme fatale feeling? But maybe that's not quite right."

Mi Duoduo laughed so hard she hiccuped, thankfully not choking on her snack. It took her a while to stop laughing: "Okay, stop talking, I understand you. You just feel like this has gone beyond your limits, making you feel like you owe someone a favor but can't repay it, right?"

Gu Lanxi nodded.

"You haven't even realized it, you've been like this since you were little."

"is it?"

"You Southerners dress differently from us Northerners. In winter, you always feel like you're not warm enough no matter how many layers you wear. During my freshman year, my mom came to visit and saw you shivering from the cold. To make you feel better, she bought thermal underwear for all four of us. Later, when my second and third sisters' families came to visit, they would buy four sets of things for them. You never mentioned these things, and we all thought you didn't know, but you always knew exactly what was going on. "Later, you worked on a project with your advisor and received your first scholarship. The first thing you did was treat the three of us to dinner and buy us all gifts, saying it was the first time you'd earned so much money and you wanted to share it with your sisters. That day, you drank half a glass of beer and started rambling incoherently, saying you considered us your own sisters and that you'd be best friends with us forever."

“Even now, whenever we ask you for something, no matter what it is, you will agree, because you always feel that you owe us something. Because of this, we don’t dare to let you know if we encounter any problems unless we are in dire straits.”

It was rare for Mi Duoduo to not gossip and speak very seriously, which made Gu Lanxi a little unaccustomed to it.

"It's not because of that. We grew up together when we were thirteen or fourteen, and we have a very deep bond."

"Come on, if we hadn't been nice to you in the first place, you wouldn't have been nice to us in the first place. You're actually quite cold, super slow to warm up, and very guarded. You'd only be nice to a stranger if there was something in it for you."

Gu Lanxi couldn't help but laugh: "So sharp, are you courting death?"

“You’re very passive and afraid of getting hurt! I feel like you’re the kind of person who, when confessing to someone, has to say ‘I love you too,’ but you won’t take the initiative to say ‘I love you.’”

Upon hearing this, Gu Lanxi completely lost her composure and reached out to grab her.

Mi Duoduo braced herself against the back of the sofa and flipped over.

"You stepped on my tail, didn't you? Haha, this isn't about seeing through you, it's about understanding you, okay? Besides, aren't you supposed to have a severe case of aversion to stupidity? I'm so smart, don't you love me a little more?"

"This is absolutely amazing, okay? Come here, I have something to tell you."

"Goodbye, Lao Long's flight is tonight. I'll pick her up later. Do you have a night shoot tonight?"

"If all goes well, we can finish filming by 10 o'clock. I'll come find you then. You haven't driven in the city for a long time, you're too reckless. I'll arrange a driver for you."

"Okay, I'll go tidy up first. There are a lot of fans outside. If they take an unflattering photo, it'll embarrass you. Sigh, being friends with a big star has made me more refined."

"So what? What's wrong with loving yourself a little more?"

After saying that, Mi Duoduo went to the bathroom to comb her hair. When she came out, she heard Gu Lanxi calling her agent, saying that she wanted to take on that charity event.

Mi Duoduo smiled, picked up her bag, and left.

I'm really tempted to get another pair of ear piercings lately.

Wearing two in each ear would look really good, and I could also buy more intricate earrings. I really like it.

But it's getting hotter and hotter, and I'm a bit conflicted; I don't want to go out.

PDD has its own ear-piercing tool, which isn't a complicated technique, but I think hand-piercing is better because the position is more suitable and it's less likely to cause inflammation.

I'll gather my courage to go out, and try not to wait until the height of summer.

I haven't finished knitting the cashmere sweater for my best friend yet. Her birthday is in the fourth month of the lunar calendar, so I won't be able to finish it before her birthday.

Cashmere yarn is so tough, it's so fine.

But the feel is absolutely fantastic.

When you buy it, the price is calculated by the gram, and a single piece of material costs several hundred yuan. It's definitely a must-do in life.

Today is Mother's Day. My husband told me to behave well, and I said, "You should behave well too." He was surprised and pointed to himself. I nodded. "Yes," I said, "I've always treated you like my own son; otherwise, I wouldn't be so tolerant." I asked him if he felt the warmth of motherhood. He went to cook. Although his cooking skills have always been terrible…

Fine, I'll put up with it. At least my attitude is top-notch.

A friend asked when it will be finished. I don't like to outline things. I have a feeling it will happen someday. My darlings, it's up to fate. If there are updates, read it. If there aren't updates, go read other authors.

Because even when I'm not updating, I might still be watching...

I hope my dear author will never stop writing.

Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you, so I won't make any more donkey sculptures for them.

While shopping at the supermarket, I saw many beautiful bottles of wine and bought a bottle.

I have a low alcohol tolerance; even a glass of strong liquor makes me dizzy.

Plain description, abstract and fragmented everyday life.
