Xu Yanyu glanced coldly at Yu Jingya, then put her hands on her hips and changed her posture.
She tilted her chin slightly, her long, loose curls cascading lazily down her chest, revealing her flawless face.
Her red lips parted slightly, and her eyes shone with confidence, instantly making her dazzling.
The cameras in the hands of all the media personnel involuntarily turned to Xu Yanyu, and even Director Zeng, who was still giving a passionate speech, was forgotten by the cameras.
Xu Yanyu tilted her head slightly and said casually, "Just because of my face!"
After she finished speaking, a faint smile appeared on her face.
She didn't want to steal the spotlight, but since she'd been thoroughly insulted, why should she back down?
What makes her so special? She thinks the media and the public will give Yu Jingya the answer.
Yu Jingya was so angry that her face was contorted, and her eyes became sharp and sarcastic.
Very well, Xu Yanyu is so arrogant, isn't she!
She wanted to see how long Xu Yanyu could remain so arrogant.
Xu Yanyu's captivating charm caused another stir among the media present.
If this weren't a movie premiere, the media would probably have already swarmed forward to take photos.
"I feel like Xu Yanyu has suddenly become very charming."
"Her dress is so beautiful. I thought it was just ordinary before, but now I realize it looks amazing on Xu Yanyu."
"Although Yu Jingya is dressed very formally today, she still pales in comparison to Xu Yanyu."
"Yu Jingya lost this group photo; the leading actress's charm couldn't compare to Xu Yanyu's."
"How many people in this industry can compare to Xu Yanyu in terms of looks?"
...
Zhang Yubing was sitting not far from these media people, and of course she didn't miss their discussion.
Her teeth were practically aching from clenching them so hard, but she pulled out her phone again and sent a message.
"Sister Jing, I feel that Xu Yanyu doesn't respect you at all."
Her clothes are more eye-catching than yours; she's deliberately striking provocative poses!
At this moment, Bai Xinjin, who was three seats away from Zhang Yubing, laughed at the person next to him: "No matter how well Lao Zeng's movie is made, he certainly made a lot of noise for the premiere."
With an award-winning actor in the lead role, and him also bringing in a well-known "pretty face" in the industry to endorse him, the media spared no effort in their coverage.
The person next to Bai Xinjin replied, "Xu Yanyu was all the rage a while ago, but didn't she switch to the music industry? Why is she getting involved in the film and television industry?"
"Ha, how many songs would she have to sing to earn the salary for one movie? And with such a stunningly beautiful face, what a waste to leave her around?"
Her face is top-tier even in the industry; it's just a pity her previous entertainment company was so incompetent.
Bai Xinjin believed he had seen through everything, and scanned Xu Yanyu on the stage with the eyes of a businessman appraising a product.
The person sitting next to Bai Xinjin is Qian Chang, the CEO of Zhang Yubing and Yu Jingya's company.
"Director Bai is truly wise. By the way, I heard that the novel script you purchased has been adapted and the movie is already in pre-production. Have you found the lead actress and supporting actress roles yet?"
The man then changed the subject and began to inquire about information.
"I never have trouble finding actors for my movies. There are so many actors who want to participate that my team is overwhelmed with choices," Bai Xinjin said with considerable pride.
He's different from Zeng Yingde; he only makes commercial films.
He makes whatever films are profitable and whatever investors like.
Ideals, beliefs, art... those are all nonsense.
Whoever's movie is a box office hit, whoever can make money for investors, will have a voice in this industry.
Although he admired Zeng Yingde's approach, he was quite disdainful of it.
It's just a movie, why insist on bringing in values and life philosophies? It takes so many years to polish it, and it's still not guaranteed to be well-received by the market.
They'd be better off making more popcorn movies with that time.
At this moment, the man waved in Zhang Yubing's direction and said, "What do you think of this actor from my company?"
Although Zhang Yubing's attention was focused on the stage, she didn't dare to completely ignore the company's CEO sitting next to her.
Upon receiving the message from her boss, she turned around and gave him a sweet and obedient smile.
Bai Xinjin's gaze then turned to Zhang Yubing. He recognized the role that made Zhang Yubing famous, but his movie roles were not so easy to give away.
"Oh, little princess... your acting is quite good."
After saying that, he changed the subject to Director Zeng's movie, "I also remembered something else, Xu Yanyu and Fei Zeyu were rumored to be having an affair."
No wonder Lao Zeng didn't look for anyone else, but chose Xu Yanyu! He's gotten smarter; he knows that in today's market, you have to learn how to play the traffic game.
When Zhang Yubing's boss heard Bai Xinjin's words, he knew that the other party didn't think much of Zhang Yubing for the time being.
Bai Xinjin turned his gaze to the stage and said, "Old Zeng said that his film has received multiple film award nominations... Ha, he has quite the ambition."
At this moment, Director Zeng on stage said with great enthusiasm: "Is a movie considered a work of art? I think it definitely is! Aren't those art films that you keep complaining about works of art?"
I know some of you say I always make obscure and difficult-to-understand movies. I've also seen many viewers complaining online that watching Zeng Yingde's movies is like buying stocks.
Some movies are good, while others make you sleepy and leave you with no sense of meaning; they're not for human eyes.
I've also been reflecting on how to balance the relationship between these two points, how to achieve something that is both commonplace and refined...
I've been thinking about this for years and refining it for so long; it's time for me to hand in my answer.
Just two days ago, my film received multiple film award nominations. Both the lead actor's performance and the film's soundtrack received unanimous recognition from the film festival judges.
Here I would like to thank my two lead actors, Fei Zeyu and Yu Jingya, as well as the entire film crew. These honors are inseparable from everyone's hard work.
Upon hearing her name called, Yu Jingya straightened her back, raised her head, and turned to look at Xu Yanyu with a hint of disdain.
She felt a little smug at this moment.
She's the lead actress, she acted very well in the movie, and she's about to win an award...
This kind of glory is something Xu Yanyu could never achieve even if she tried her whole life.
Even if a celebrity who just tries to get attention on stage stands next to her, they will never be able to catch up with her.
Xu Yanyu felt Yu Jingya's gaze, but simply smiled in response.
Just then, Director Zeng took a breath and continued, "Of course, I also want to thank another person here—Xu Yanyu!"
