After the empress transmigrated, she became the judge of the entertainment industry.

Chapter 492 is practically a bonus level!

As Gu Lin had predicted, Xing Xuan fell from grace just two days later.

Although he had somewhat expected it, he still felt a bit conflicted when he saw the news.

So many people are involved in illegal transactions...

Over the years, he has received numerous invitations in this field within the industry, not to mention those he has seen and heard about.

It can only be said that without a certain degree of perseverance, it is indeed quite difficult to maintain a clean reputation in the entertainment industry.

Fortunately, he didn't encounter any forceful methods used; most of the time, he simply refused politely and let it go.

As for the few times... well, that requires a bit of effort or finding some other excuse to tell a harmless lie.

The agent called last night, and his tone had changed. He not only praised him for his foresight, but also tentatively asked him if he had built a good relationship with Ye Sanqing and the others on set.

It seems they suspect he received advance notice and that's why he decided not to go.

This is when you need to lie. Even if Gu Lin thinks that the relationship is just average, and that Ye Sanqing treats him as nothing more than a colleague with basic politeness, and that he is not more special than others, he still has to say, "They are not bad, they are easy to get along with."

Sometimes he didn't know if his agent was genuinely stupid or just pretending. If he was genuinely stupid, why did he know to cultivate good relationships with powerful and influential people? If he was just pretending, why did he let him go to places like the Lu family's residence?

The Lu family's reputation isn't as good as other respectable wealthy families. Even he has heard some bad rumors about them, so he doesn't believe his agent is completely unaware of it.

If it were just a matter of contacting a single member of the Lu family, that would be one thing, but almost everyone was present, so it's hard to guarantee that one or two of them didn't use special methods.

Gu Lin had actually been considering terminating his contract for a while, but his agent liked to bring it up indirectly, subtly mentioning things like "finding a backer for himself"...

They didn't actually make him do that. Their company isn't like Xingxuan; whether he wants to or not, he'll eventually have to become willing.

Moreover, the company has done a decent job in other marketing areas as well. After all, given his current top-tier status, it's undeniable that they've made a lot of effort for it.

But... he was tired of this commodified life.

So he agreed with what his agent said next: "Then you should just focus on acting in the film crew, develop your career further, and try to gain their favor."

Regardless of what happens next, Gu Lin believes that getting along well with the current members of the production crew is better than going to some random banquets.

Even if they don't develop any special relationship, just getting along well as colleagues and making friends would be beneficial for his future career.

He had a vague feeling that the people here valued ability and professionalism, while he just wanted to focus on acting and do a good job acting.

It was the right decision to come here this time, and Ye Sanqing is grateful for that.

"Okay, I see."

Ye Sanqing thought about it and figured that Gu Lin probably thought she had helped avoid a lot of trouble.

But he should actually thank himself for this; if he hadn't hesitated, he wouldn't have asked at all.

If he's focused on gaining fame and fortune through cutthroat competition rather than on acting skills, then he should have adopted the same attitude as Xingxuan and his ilk long ago.

However, it was a bit troublesome for Gu Lin to refuse the Lu family's invitation. He had no choice but to pretend to be sick, otherwise the Lu family would think that he, a minor celebrity, was not giving them face, and there would probably be no good things to come of it.

Fortunately, the Lu family probably doesn't care who didn't come right now.

Speaking of the Lu family...

Ye Sanqing twitched his fingers, then thought better of it.

Although she found it quite amusing to message Lu Mingye to urge him on the progress, she didn't intend to keep pushing him.

Only when things are completed without being rushed can you be considered to have truly taken it seriously.

Xiaoyou reported on some other matters and discussed the next steps, and there were no major problems.

Ye Sanqing remembered that he was going to the capital for the weekend. After discussing it with Sheng Hanyu, he asked Xiaoyou to add the trip to the itinerary.

This time, we left on Saturday and returned on Sunday, which was a bit rushed, but still not as rushed as going to the Lu family's place.

Ye Sanqing hoped that he wouldn't have to experience another night like this again...

When they returned to the film set, it was just in time for dinner, so the group found a large table and sat down to eat.

Fortunately, Sheng Luoxin naturally has a light diet; otherwise, changing her diet for health reasons would have caused quite a bit of trouble.

Although Ye Sanqing and Sheng Hanyu both knew that his so-called heart problem was essentially a coding problem, they couldn't possibly find out everything and then tell him that he didn't need to pay any attention to it.

Fortunately, Sheng Hanyu can cook. He plans to cook for Sheng Luoxin whenever he has free time.

This isn't surprising, as many celebrities order their own meals while filming, if they have the budget.

In places where conditions are not very convenient, people usually ask their living assistants to cook something at their accommodation.

In other words, no matter what the circumstances, there is no one as despicable as Ye Wanyin...

The situation with Ye Wanyin has become less common in recent years. Generally, no matter what, the production team will provide a basic package.

"Oh right, I forgot to ask, what did Lin Mo eat by herself?"

Sheng Hanyu asked in a low voice.

Ye Sanqing scrolled through his phone and handed it over.

"Because it's still relatively normal, I didn't show it to you earlier."

Lin Mo also took a picture of her lunch, which could be described as a meat dish and a vegetable dish. In any case, it was a meat dish with some kind of gourd that was stir-fried together, and a spicy stir-fried cabbage.

Lin Mo was probably controlling her carbohydrate intake, so she only ate a small amount of rice, but when she took the picture, she also captured the rice serving area next to her, so the rice seemed to be self-service.

Oh, and there's also a free seaweed and egg drop soup for self-service.

It looks cold...

"...Her doesn't seem to meet the standard either."

Sheng Hanyu said, "Add a chicken leg, at least add a chicken leg."

Everyone looked at him upon hearing this, thinking that it was quite rare for him to ask for more food halfway through his meal...

Sheng Hanyu shook her head, indicating that it wasn't her sudden desire to eat chicken legs.

Ye Sanqing looked at the food in front of him. Although it wasn't as starkly different as lunchtime, and there were fewer green vegetables here... there was plenty of meat, and other kinds of vegetables were plentiful.

You don't know until you compare. At first, I thought this was the standard, but it turns out they've already reached the top when it comes to film crew lunches.

And last time Nangong Wang brought food, that was practically a bonus level!

So it seems reasonable for Nangong Wang to do this kind of charity work. He seemed to have mentioned before that Nangong Fugui had delivered meals to the film crew before, but it wasn't purely charitable at the time.

"Xiao Wang, make the arrangements quickly."

Ye Sanqing smiled.

Sheng Hanyu nodded, "Although he is busy, he has already started making arrangements."
