Chapter 681 - Assistant Gu Lan
Chapter 681: Assistant Gu Lan
In the next few days, besides Lv Qian, there were other people who came over from time to time to invite Xia Xibei to go out with them to different places.
However, Xia Xibei refused them all, with the excuse that she had to study for her exams. After all, the final exams were coming up in a few days.
Everyone felt this excuse of hers was ridiculous.
She was so impressive in the program and had such a strong memory, so why did she need to review?
However, she was a student, and with Pan Yan on the side, there was nothing they could do.
The next day, Xia Xibei had an additional young woman by her side.
The girl’s name was Gu Lan, and she was in her twenties. She had just graduated from college, wore thick black-framed glasses, and wasn’t very eye-catching.
Standing next to Xia Xibei, she was overshadowed, and not many people noticed her presence.
Gu Lan was very nervous when she first arrived.
Although Xia Xibei was not yet a big star, it was clear that she had unlimited potential.
Gu Lan was just an ordinary assistant and didn’t know what kind of personality Xia Xibei had, so of course she was nervous.
However, after spending a few days with Xia Xibei, her mind was now at ease.
Xia Xibei was even kinder than everyone said!
When she came over before, she was very apprehensive, but the salary here was high…
Moreover, she also wanted to experience the entertainment industry, to see if she could learn more.
She had heard from other friends who were also assistants that many celebrities were gentle and affable in front of the camera, but had bad personalities and different appearances behind the camera.
Xia Xibei was very different.
In front of the camera, she was confident and arrogant, but behind the camera, she was gentle and relatable.
Originally, she was worried that Xia Xibei would give her a lot to do and had a poor temper, but she didn’t expect this to be a completely unnecessary worry.
As an assistant, Gu Lan was very proactive in doing what she needed to do, running errands and whatnot.
Other than that, she didn’t need to do anything outside the scope of her own work.
After a few days, she was greatly impressed with Xia Xibei and became more dedicated to her care.
Xia Xibei was also quite satisfied with Gu Lan as an assistant.
Although Gu Lan was not old, she had a good character, good learning ability, and knew how to do things.
Day to day, she was able to do her part of the work well.
And when she was not needed, she stood aside at ease, observing and studying.
Gu Lan would often take out a small notebook and pen and write and draw from time to time.
People did not know what she wrote in her book, but it did not affect her work, so no one said anything about it.
With Gu Lan taking care of her, Xia Xibei’s filming went even more smoothly.
Although it was Xia Xibei’s first time filming, or so everyone thought, her performance was amazing.
Jiang Shenghe did not expect that Xia Xibei would perform so well.
He had already prepared some time to teach her. He did not expect that she would understand instantly. No matter the expression or action, they were all just right!
Even the other actors opposite her were surprised, having the same thought in their minds: were all the top scholars this good?
It was obvious that she was a newcomer, but she was very skilled in front of the camera! That was really something.
It was true that the younger generation was impressive!
Because Xia Xibei’s performance was so goo, she finished her part early and could leave the set. She would come back for the next round of shooting after some time.
Although they were not wrapping up the shoot, Lv Qian finally found his opportunity.
“Now that you’re leaving, you should at least give me a chance to treat you! By the time you come back next time, I might already be gone.”
Xia Xibei stared at him for a while and nodded when he couldn’t help the twinkle in his eyes.
“Okay.”
