Chapter 142: Picturesque (Part 1)

If eyes could kill, Yun Shishi has long died a thousand times.

Damn her!

“Xingze, is she your partner tonight?”

The Media Reporter asked in surprise.

Gu Xingze smiled and nodded his head.

“Can you please tell me your name?”

Gu Xingze looked down on his side and look at Yun Shishi in her eyes.

He noticed that Yun Shishi looks a bit nervous, but her slightly red cheeks made her makeup look so gorgeous and covered up her panic and anxiety.

For the first time in her life, Yun Shishi was able to walk to the red carpet and face a lot of media reporters. Which is not much different to the International Film Festival.

After all, her arrival is very eye-catching.

Yun Shishi slightly moves her lips and smile as bright as the spring: “Good evening, dear friends from the media, my name is Yun Shishi.”

Yun Shishi said and paused, then she smile sweetly.

“Your name ‘Shishi’ (Poetry) suits you very well. You clearly look so beautiful as a painting.”

Yun Shishi has always been a delicate person and even her name’s interpretation represents her personality.

So, when the Media Reporter heard her name, it reminded him a scenery of a spring breeze. And felt that Yun Shishi seems rather a reserved person. Unlike the other actresses that debuted and introduce themselves extravagantly.

And while reminiscing, the Media Reporter couldn’t help but remember Hanyu Yan’s simple and yet rude self-introduction when she debuted.

“Hello, everyone! I am a newcomer named Hanyu Yan. My name ‘Han’ stands for ‘Korea or the same last name of one of the Seven Hero of Warring state. And ‘Yan’ as ‘charming or captivating’. Please enlighten me, everyone!”

Hanyu Yan’s introduction seems like teaching them a high-class cultural literacy.

Does she think they have no knowledge in culture ah?

So at that moment, Hanyu Yan’s low education once again remembered by the media reporter and despise her.

On the contrary, the media reporter’s impression on Yun Shishi is rather good and deepening.

However, there are still some media reporters that couldn’t help but ask.

“This newcomer is so beautiful. Is that why you agree to go with her on the red carpet when she hasn’t debuted? Why did you actually agree? What is her exact background?

“Yes, yes, what is her background? I really wonder where did she come from. After all, Gu Xingze who is abstinent in beauty goes with her. Her background must be really marvelous!”

“But, beauty alone can be a strength! Can’t you see her face look so tender as if you are pinching a water! Unlike other actresses that seem like you are pinching a knife with their face!”

“Oh, I know her! She’s the last person that audition in the ‘Green Fruit Movie’. I’ve seen her performance and it’s really impressive. I even heard that Director Lin was very satisfied with her!”

“Oh, is that her? I heard before that other executive director wants Yan Bingqing to be the heroin. But, her acting skill is very poor so they decided to pick a newcomer. I also heard Director Lin will abandon the movie if they won’t agree to cast her.”

“Director Lin is as headstrong as ever. She must be really good to make him act that way!”

The other Media reporters started gossiping.

So when the other people heard that Yun Shishi is the chosen heroine of Director Lin Fengtian. They got even more excited!

After all, they know that Lin Fengtian is always serious, meticulous and sometimes unreasonably strict at work.

And whether it is about casting, filming or even editing the movie. Lin Fengtian will always personally check them all. So in the studio, if he said no it means no. Or else he will notoriously look at them with his eyes. And if that happens, the crew must follow his instructions and remake everything that he’s unsatisfied.

Even Hanyu Yan who was cast in his film for the first time wasn’t able to satisfy his taste. And because of lack of experience, Hanyu Yan wrongly said her line for several times. Lin Fengtian scolded her badly as if he were scolding a dog and made Hanyu Yan stunned for the whole set and retreated early.

And that’s why Hanyu Yan doesn’t consider him as her mentor.

So when she became popular later on, she never accepted a project with him.

Such a devil …

Inside the venue.

The media reporters continue went crazy and noisy. So Yang Mi got suspicious and turn her head to look, but just saw an unfamiliar face.

Another arrogant newcomer that doesn’t know how high is the sky dressed extravagantly.

Yang Mi who feel threatened, sneered: “Is tonight’s cocktail party really that low? How could another stray cat just come?”

Tang Yu also followed and said: “Who is that newcomer?”

He Lingxiang and Yun Na who just entered the venue also heard a bursting noise behind them. So when they turn and look, they saw bursting flashes of cameras. The countless flashes almost made the whole venue as bright as day.

Yun Na was so surprised when she turned around. She doesn’t know who is the big shot person that came and made the media crazy. However, when she was about to look away, she saw Yun Shishi’s face. At that moment, Yun Na got stunned and gasped for breath!

Her!?

Yun Na thought that Yun Shishi will be very anxious because she stole her dress. But, she didn’t expect that she will wear a more expensive dress than her instead!

The quality is even much better!

Moreover, she came along with Gu Xingze. What does it mean to be Gu Xingze’s partner ah?

She just made an appearance once, but she was even able to push Hanyu Yan’s presence on the side.

When even Yang Mi couldn’t do that to her!

Damn it!
