Chapter 362: Chapter 361: Before the Red Carpet (1)
Translator: ShinoJ
Gu Chu noticed that one of the screenwriters was Beanie, whom she had not seen for a long time.
Having not seen her for a few days, Beanie no longer had the obvious sense of dejection on her face. She had become very lively, and her black-rimmed glasses could not hide the light in her eyes. There was no doubt or suspicion in her eyes when she looked at Gu Manxi, only admiration and respect.
After Gu Manxi was done with her work, she returned to the lounge to rest for the time being. Only then did Gu Chu go to find her. She pushed the door open and hugged Gu Manxi’s slender waist. “Mommy, Chuchu and Auntie are here to visit Mommy.”
“Sister, I brought Chuchu here to see you.” Zhao Manshi’s voice was gentle.
Gu Manxi was rather happy and had Gu Chu sitting on her knees.
Gu Manxi remembered something, and she reminded Zhao Manshi, “Manshi, there’s a red carpet event for the opening of the film festival this Sunday. After the event, there will be a dinner party. All the main cast of ‘The Return of Spring Breeze’ will be present. Mr. Lu asked me to inform you.”
Zhao Manshi was a daughter of a rich family. She did not have the intention to become part of the entertainment circle. She only acted because she was interested.
Song Entertainment did not restrict Zhao Manshi either and gave her full freedom.
“Alright, I’ll walk the red carpet with my sister.” Zhao Manshi thought about the scene and her beautiful eyes shone. Zhao Manshi thought happily that with Manxi’s peerless beauty, she would definitely be able to crush those small celebrities in the entertainment industry who had plastic surgery.
Hmph, just thinking about it made her proud.
And that movie queen Cao Yuezhi, she couldn’t be compared to Manxi at all with that fake face of hers!
Knock, knock —
There was a knock on the door.
The screenwriter, Beanie, poked her head in. “Miss Manxi, about the filming tonight, I still have some things I want to talk to you about.” Beanie entered the room and saw Gu Chu in Gu Manxi’s arms, Beanie beamed. “Ah, Chuchu, when did you get here? Are you hungry? They have some super delicious seaweed soup on set. I’ll get you a bowl later.”
Gu Chu thanked her in a baby voice. “Thank you, Miss Beanie.”
“You’re welcome. I should be thanking you, my lucky little angel.” Beanie tickled Gu Chu’s little nose.
She was really grateful to Gu Chu!
It was this fair and delicate little girl who had accidentally saved her from hell. If it weren’t for Gu Chu’s help, perhaps Beanie would have already frozen to death in her shabby rented house, or she would have gone back to her hometown to get married and have children.
Gu Chu gave her a chance to become a new person, so that she could realize her dreams.
Now, Beanie cherished her days on set. She liked the days when she could polish the script, and liked the surprises that fate gave her.
She also secretly regarded Gu Manxi as her idol.
Cao Yuezhi was an egoist. She only loved herself. In order to protect her vanity, she would do anything. For example, giving up on a small screenwriter who begged for originality.
Gu Manxi was different. Gu Manxi would always help people as much as she could. This was because she had once lived a helpless life. She knew how lonely it was to be abandoned by the world.
“Sister Manxi, this is the revised script. The director agrees with this version.” Beanie handed over the revised script. “The kissing scene has been deleted. We added a little plot to make the everything more reasonable.”
Gu Manxi took the script. “Thank you for your hard work.”
Beanie giggled. “You’re welcome. It’s my honor to be able to participate in Miss Manxi’s TV series.”
Gu Chu nestled in her mother’s arms and also took a look at the script.
Song Chen got jealous and started randomly cutting off kissing scenes. Fortunately, Beanie was able to turn the situation around and modify the plot to make it more coherent and reasonable.
This Beanie was not bad. As long as she continued to make steady progress, she would definitely become a famous top screenwriter in the future.
Gu Chu stayed on the set for three hours. She did not leave Gu Manxi’s side.
In the end, Gu Manxi still had to continue filming the scenes for the night. Gu Chu reluctantly said goodbye to Mama and followed her aunt back to the apartment in the capital.

Time flew by in the blink of an eye. The well-known Capital Film Festival officially began on Saturday.
At the opening ceremony, there would be an exhibition of all the films this year. A month later, the jury would review all the films and award the Best Actress, Best Actor, Best Director, Best Screenwriter, and other awards.
In China, the Capital Film Festival held a lot of weight.
Back then, Cao Yuezhi won the Best Actress award. She became a famous actress in the entertainment industry and everyone knew her name. Her popularity still remained high till this day.
This year, dozens of films entered the competition.
Among them, two of them were most anticipated by the audience.
One is Lu Shanhe, a well-known director who has been silent for five years. Every single one of his films is a masterpiece and has won many award. This time, his film “The Return of Spring Breeze” has entered the competition. Netizens have basically decided that the “Best Director” award definitely goes to him.
The other film is the fantasy film “South Wind Intoxication”. This film was also not to be underestimated.
Coincidentally, these two movies would be released at the end of the month and they would be competing for the same awards at the film festival.
Song Entertainment, Dressing Room.
“Tsk tsk, how can they compare a trashy movie like ‘South Wind Intoxication’ to my work?” The famous young director, Lu Shanhe, raised his chin. The stylist was trying his best to tidy up his messy long hair.
Lu Shanhe was handsome, rebellious, and talented.
The price of being a genius was that he was not good at fixing himself.
He always had messy long hair, and the only reason why he was able to pull it off was because of his looks. The stylist did not dare to comb Lu Shanhe’s hair forcefully. She was afraid that she would break Lu Shanhe’s hair get scolded.
Jiang Cheng watched from the side for a while. He sighed and walked to the stylist’s side. “I’ll comb his hair. You go next door and help Zhang Qi do his hair first.”
The stylist ran away with tears of gratitude.
Jiang Cheng picked up a small comb and said, “I’m a little rough. Bear with me for a while.”
“It’s okay. It’s just a few strands of hair.” LuShanhe crossed his unruly legs and happily scrolled through Weibo, “Jiang Cheng, take a look. Are these netizens blind? They even said that ‘South Wind Intoxication’ is better than my movie? How is that possible!! I know the director of ‘South Wind Intoxication’. It’s Old Zhu from the Wang family. This bastard likes to change the script of movies a lot. I wonder how the movie will be ruined by him.”
“Old Zhu still wants to compete with m? In his dreams. It’s all mine!”
Jiang Cheng hummed lightly as a response.
He was gentle with his hands.
Lu Shanhe wailed, “Old Jiang, are you combing my hair or pulling out weed? Don’t make my head go bald. Manxi will laugh at me.”
Jiang Cheng heard the second half of the sentence and narrowed his eyes.
He continued with the combing and said coldly, “You don’t like combing your hair normally, so there are knots everywhere. You deserve it.”
“I’m busy filming a movie. How can I have time to comb my hair? Ouch, be gentle! !”Lu Shanhe wailed again.
