The Martial Artist Turned Movie Mogul-Chapter 813 - 812. Xiao Hong ah~~

"Ooh yeah~~~ Today our boss is the brightest star of the entire venue!"

Yang Tiantian joyfully jumped up on the spot.

Everyone: "..."

Tang Shu twitched the corner of her mouth, her head full of black lines.

The stylist shook with alarm, cautiously glanced at her employer, and sighed in relief when he realized she wasn’t angry about the nickname. He marveled at his assistant’s bold yet innocent nature. Had it been any other celebrity, they would have fired the person long ago.

And Luo Lin, being the head of the family, helplessly dragged the assistant back to her side.

"What are you jumping for? You’re almost hitting the ceiling. You’re getting happy too early. Public voting only counts for 25%, it doesn’t represent the final result."

"But we’ve already secured a one in four chance, haven’t we?"

Yang Tiantian’s greatest strength is her constant optimism; she never dwells on the negative possibilities.

Luo Lin was unexpectedly at a loss for words, "... You make a good point?"

Such an optimistic little girl.

This top agent tried her best not to think about the other 75% possibilities, and turned to bring over the three dresses prepared by COOL brand.

"I think this white one is very slimming. The pink one seems a bit too youthful, and the beige one... it’s too close to the skin tone, it won’t look good under the evening lights. What’s your choice, Tang Shu?"

"The white one."

Frankly, she didn’t really want to accept the pink.

Neither the Young Sect Master of the Tang Sect nor the actress Tang Shu is too fond of things of that color. Of course, adorable dolls are an exception.

Minutes later, when the stylist had finished his task, Tang Shu stood in front of everyone in a white slim-fitting long dress, complemented by creamy white earrings, shining brightly under the warm overhead lights.

The women opposite were entranced, staring at her for a long while without speaking.

"What’s the matter?"

Tang Shu, puzzled, looked towards the full-length mirror opposite. After not noticing anything amiss, she grew even more confused.

Slowly, everyone came out of their daze, captivated by the beauty before them.

"To be honest, this dress and the nude makeup really match well; even a bit more elaborate makeup wouldn’t do."

Thank goodness she hadn’t insisted earlier!

At this moment, Luo Lin had to acknowledge a fact—Tang Shu seemed to have an innate sense of style, as if it was all embedded in her brain, needing no fretting from her.

This little ancestor sometimes made things too worry-free.

***

The National Drama Award Ceremony was held at a large conference center in the Southern District of the Imperial Capital.

At 7:30 in the evening, the artists and crew members attending the ceremony arrived one after another, and as various nanny vans and business cars slowed down, the major media gathered outside the venue raised their cameras.

"Here they come, wonder which big shot it is this time?"

"Any big shot will do; make sure the photos are good, maybe we’ll get the next headline!"

"That’s not how you should talk. If it’s a big shot or someone nominated for an award, if we take more photos and write a soft article to support them, that’s sure to attract a wave of attention."

"Shush—quiet down, someone’s getting off the car!"

"Wow, it’s a male celebrity; zoom in the camera—we must get a high-definition photo!"

The media personnel eagerly anticipated, ready and waiting, just as the rear door of the black nanny car opened, and the first to step out was a tall figure, seemingly about 1.8 meters tall, slim and lofty—an ideal clothes hanger.

New media journalists reflexively raised their breadwinning tools in hand, but before they could get a clear view of the newcomer’s facial features, he turned to incline slightly towards the nanny van and extended a hand, and the next moment, a fair and delicate arm emerged from inside the vehicle.

"There’s a female companion!"

"Turns out the two of them came together; it’s very likely they’re from the same entertainment company or the same drama crew!"

"Holy cow! It’s Chen Xin and Wang Honghong! The male and female leads from the ’You Smile’ drama series!"

The moment Chen Xin’s high heels touched the ground, her exquisite facial features appeared before everyone, and the surrounding media went into a frenzy, with the sound of cameras clicking non-stop for a long while.

The two beside the black nanny car remained utterly composed, turning to look around under the multitude of spotlights, corners of their mouths rising into a perfect smile, even lifting their hands to wave in greeting.

"Hey~~~~ are we that popular? ’You Smile 2’ hasn’t even had its grand finale yet."

"We can’t overlook the popularity of ’You Smile’, even if it hasn’t finished airing. The first season is now playing all over Southeast Asia, and our popularity is much higher than you’d imagine."

"Mr. Wang, I think there’s something you’re mistaken about."

Dressed in a yellow off-shoulder gown, Chen Xin let Wang Honghong lead her forward, revealing a rather serious expression out of the public’s sight, which forced her companion to take her seriously.

"Where did I get it wrong?"

Could it be that ’You Smile’ isn’t popular? According to the director, even the embedded advertisements sold for a staggering price.

"It’s not about us being extremely popular, but rather Shushu and I are greatly adored by the audience; you and Zhao Ming are just carried along."

"..."

You know, with that attitude, you’ll have no friends, right?

Wang Honghong instantly felt so frustrated he wanted to fling her hand away, but he didn’t dare to, practically grinding his back teeth as he spat out a sentence.

"I really should let your massive fanbase see how vain you’re being right now!"

"Calm down, my cuties only love my beautiful face. Even if they knew about my temperament, they’d choose to be tolerant, Mr. Wang. No need for envy~~~~"

"!!!!"

Oh Lord, would some kind-hearted soul please come take away this little devil!

So done with this.

Wang Honghong turned his face away in the opposite direction, displaying an awkward smile. Rather than face this vain fanatic, he’d prefer the reporters to take a few more pictures of him to take back; even if they wrote nonsense about him tomorrow, he’d accept it!

"Sigh~~~ I fully understand your escapist mindset in not wanting to face reality, but don’t be disheartened, perhaps your next show will be a huge success."

"Shut up!"

The pair, one in black and one in yellow, walked down the lengthy red carpet, their handsome man and beautiful woman combo eliciting screams after screams. Every photo taken of them was particularly harmonious, yet no one knew the parties involved were nearly on the brink of a breakdown.

"Xiao Hong, do you think I can win the Best Actress trophy?"

"Don’t call me Xiao Hong! Please refer to me as Mr. Wang, thank you."

Wang Honghong swore that all his patience for the day had been used up on walking the red carpet; he had no more left.

"What’s wrong with Xiao Hong? It sounds so cordial, and we’re so familiar with each other; calling me Mr. Wang feels so distant."

Chen Xin put on a woeful face that seemed to say, "How could you do this to me?" as if Wang Honghong had done something utterly heinous.

Seeing her expression, the guy on the other side grimaced inwardly, quickly taking a large step forward to block out those flashing lights, mentally preparing for the various painful mini-dramas that awaited him.
