The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 387 Sour

Gu Lanxi lacked love from a young age. When she grew up, she entered the entertainment industry not only because acting allowed her to experience different lives and helped alleviate her anxiety, but also because it was a job where she could receive a lot of love.

She longs to be liked and enjoys being liked.

She was afraid of it affecting her mood, so she didn't even want to go online, for fear of seeing bad comments and feeling uncomfortable.

Over the years, she has received so much warmth and sincerity from her fans. Whenever she is in a low mood, she can get encouragement and recognition from them.

No matter what choices they faced, they never hesitated to choose her.

That feeling of being favored sustained her through many difficult days.

She doesn't like to show her face in public, but she will walk the red carpet when she receives an award, she is very active in promoting her movies, and the film crew will regularly open the set for visits. At the very least, when she goes out, she always goes to the airport to catch a plane. If fans want to see her in person, they will have at least 10 to 20 opportunities a year.

She is someone who hides her true feelings very well, and it is not easy to gain her genuine approval.

Many fans like several celebrities at the same time, but Gu Lanxi's die-hard fans have always only liked her.

No matter when, her fans always show her unique favoritism.

She has no endorsements, doesn't film variety shows, doesn't attend business events, and doesn't even have social media accounts. Her fans like her, but they don't even have a place to spend money on her.

That's why fans especially love to follow her offline.

During the movie promotion, Gu Lanxi would always try to get a certain number of tickets for Xiao Yuanbao. In order to get these tickets, Xiao Yuanbao and his friends would stay up all night to work on the data.

When the crew visits the set, some people manage to snag a spot, and even if they're abroad, they'll make a special trip back.

She doesn't accept expensive gifts, so her fans rack their brains to come up with thoughtful ideas for how to give her gifts.

Over the years since her debut, Gu Lanxi has shared touching moments with her fans, which have been compiled into over a hundred episodes.

Feelings are mutual. Even though Gu Lanxi was initially hesitant to interact with so many strangers, she gradually grew accustomed to their presence.

And they are willing to approach them and embrace them again and again.

Often, people have a stereotypical impression of fans, assuming that they are all young and immature teenagers, but that's not the case.

Gu Lanxi's fans include the elderly, children, and rational office workers; students are not even the largest group.

According to statistics from a data platform, 27% of her fans are mature women aged 30 to 40, 21% are young men aged 25 to 30, and the third largest group is students aged 15 to 24, accounting for 16% of the total.

She was young, and many female fans initially treated her like their own daughter. However, after she publicly stated that her mother had passed away early and that being her "mother fan" was unlucky, this group of people started calling themselves Sister Yuanbao and calling her Xibao or Meibao.

After she married Lu Nanting, she opened social media accounts, went to concerts, and appeared on variety shows, gaining more and more fans. But in order to gain her favor and recognition, they all learned the same tricks from Xiao Yuanbao.

A while ago in Beijing, some fans got up early to give her flowers. Now in Hangzhou, some fans are waiting for her in the cold wind.

She didn't know about this beforehand and was rushing to a company meeting, so she didn't have anything good to give them and simply gave each of them a hug.

For her, it was just a little time-consuming moment, but for her fans, it was a happy moment worth remembering for a lifetime.

After saying goodbye to her fans, she went to the company.

This week, her main tasks are to adjust the company's management structure, optimize management rules, adjust work priorities, and summarize last year's work.

They really are never idle.

At the same time, Lu Nanting, with a deadpan expression, led his people to the photography studio.

He's going to be filming here today, and it'll take all day.

Compared to Gu Lanxi, Lu Nanting is a 5G surfing expert, and has long since infiltrated Gu Lanxi's fan group.

Yesterday, Gu Lanxi was blocked at the airport. He wanted to go, but Gu Lanxi wouldn't let him. He wanted to speak out, but Gu Lanxi wouldn't allow it either.

From beginning to end, Gu Lanxi showed no sign of relying on him. In the midst of her busy schedule, she called him and gently coaxed him, afraid that he might do something irrational.

For a grown man, this feeling is absolutely awful!
He knew this wasn't the time to be petty, so he suppressed his discomfort, went to the music room to play music to his heart's content for a while, and then went to the dance studio to dance until he was exhausted before going to sleep.

When I woke up early in the morning, I saw the fan group was in an uproar.

News spreads very quickly among fans. Gu Lanxi had just hugged those lucky winners, and within moments, the news had spread throughout the fan groups, and even materials from the event could be found online.

The fans who went were of all ages, both male and female, and some even brought their own children, asking Gu Lanxi to hug them.

Gu Lanxi not only hugged him, but also lifted the little boy up and kissed him on the forehead.

The faint lipstick mark was photographed in close-up by the child's mother and posted online.

The comments section was filled with envy and jealousy, and the fans were so excited they were jumping up and down, as if the child would become a genius after being kissed by Gu Lanxi.

Gu Lanxi's interactions with her fans have always been the warmest, most loving, and most sincere in the entertainment circle.

She would never mistake a fan for another.

She has never mistaken anyone for a fake fan, a stalker fan, or a paparazzi.

As long as she's not busy, she'll respond to fans who talk to her, and she'll even proactively ask familiar, long-time fans some questions.

Taking photos, signing autographs, receiving letters, and receiving gifts are all basic procedures.

But moments like today, where someone openly and generously gives a hug, are still very rare. A person always follows a set of logic when doing things.

Gu Lanxi herself gets trending on social media for negative reasons, but she never bothers with it; her studio or agency usually handles it on her behalf.

But whenever it involves Lu Nanting, or anything between the two of them, she reacts more strongly than anyone else.

For example, this time, when someone criticized her for betraying Lu Nanting by secretly going on blind dates and flirting with other women, she immediately got angry.

Lu Nanting was feeling sour and jealous of his fans; he hadn't hugged any of them today, but a bunch of fans had.

His fans are constantly jealous of him.

Because of Gu Lanxi's overwhelming protectiveness towards him.

I don't want to make him unhappy in the slightest.

Upon seeing this, the top influencer immediately sent a message to his loving wife, Gu Lanxi. Unfortunately, Gu Lanxi had already entered the meeting room and turned off her phone, so she didn't see it at all.

So he was unhappy the whole way.

When they arrived at the photo studio, she had a cold face and was clearly unhappy.

The makeup artist was someone he had worked with for a long time and knew quite well. Seeing him like this, she tried to cheer him up.
"The confidentiality agreement for 'Testing the Waters' has expired, and behind-the-scenes footage has been released in the last couple of days. Has Professor Lu seen it?"

Since a TV series that maintained its popularity by releasing a constant stream of behind-the-scenes footage more than ten years ago, allowing its lead actors to reap the benefits, the practice of making behind-the-scenes footage has become popular in the industry, whether for movies or TV series.

The footage shot by staff and professional behind-the-scenes photographers, excluding those released by the official channels during the promotional period, will be released gradually after the confidentiality period expires.

For fans, it's an exceptional "after-sales experience," and it's also very important for actors.

Because some actors are only popular for a short time, and then their careers decline. But when behind-the-scenes footage is released, they might be able to make a comeback.

Someone like Gu Lanxi doesn't need behind-the-scenes footage to become popular again, but her fans love to dig up old stories and are naturally very interested in these kinds of things.

Lu Nanting has been quite busy lately. If Gu Lanxi hadn't been blocked at the airport yesterday, he wouldn't have bothered to check the fan group for information. Upon hearing this, he immediately took out his phone.

The makeup artist immediately smiled and took out a phone stand with Gu Lanxi's cartoon figure on it, asking him to put his phone on the dressing table.

The makeup artist had a talent for being a kindergarten teacher, but underestimated the thought process of someone in love.

Even if it's just a cartoon figure of Gu Lanxi, he doesn't want it to hold his phone all the time.

“I’ve never treated her like this, yet you all seem to be living a good life.”

Xiao Jiang immediately came over, grabbed a regular phone holder, and wanted to replace the makeup artist's phone holder.

As a result, Lu Nanting had already reached out and taken it.

"Where did you buy it? This seller probably isn't authorized."

He gets to release all sorts of celebrity merchandise every year, but Gu Lanxi doesn't.

The makeup artist was speechless and had no choice but to send him the link.

After he handed things over to his assistant and found some behind-the-scenes footage of "Testing the Waters," he sat there obediently watching it before the makeup artist took out her tools and began to create his makeup for the day.

For Er Mao Mao, going to and from school with his older sister every day was a very happy thing. But now that he knows his sister will be starting primary school in September, he'll have to go alone, and he's been in a bad mood these past few days.

When they got out of school, I gave each of them a lollipop. The younger brother got out of school early and finished his lollipop before his sister did. When it was his sister's turn to eat, the younger brother was greedy and made a fuss about wanting another one. When I refused, he immediately burst into tears and threw a tantrum on the ground. The older sister ate half of her lollipop and then stuffed it into her brother's mouth, not caring about drool at all.

I feel really bad.

I gave her a good scolding.

Hygiene is a secondary issue; spoiling the younger brother is a serious problem.

I treat them both fairly; she spoils her younger brother, so she gets less.

She disagreed, saying it was just a lollipop and that it was her own brother.

She said she only has one younger brother, and it was because she insisted that I gave birth to him. She said she would treat him well.

I said it's his parents' responsibility, not yours.

When your younger brother cries, you shouldn't try to appease him like that. You should reason with him, set rules for him, and prevent him from becoming greedy or getting used to taking advantage of you.

She often cries and throws tantrums to manipulate her father, and her younger brother imitates her, crying and throwing tantrums to manipulate her as well.

Her father couldn't do anything with her, so he spoiled her; she couldn't do anything with her younger brother, so she spoiled him.

If this continues for a long time, you'll become a "brother-supporting demon."

I told her about the tragic life of a woman who spoiled her brother, which made her shudder. She then swore that for the sake of her remaining life, she would never let her brother go astray.

Very pleased.

Summer vacation is coming again, and the thought of it is terrifying.

Today, the whole table was covered in jam, the TV cabinet, the coffee table, and the floor—it was all glutinous rice flour...
