Director Zeng was arranging Xu Yanyu's standing position for later. He remembered that he had said he would introduce Xu Yanyu to a job.
If Xu Yanyu slips away later, how can he help her?
"Oh, that's not really appropriate. I'm already very happy to have been invited by you and to have the honor of attending the premiere of this film." Xu Yanyu's attention returned to Director Zeng.
Director Zeng's arrangement might give the impression that she is overshadowing the main character.
“What’s wrong with that? You’re also a behind-the-scenes worker in this movie. Don’t I have any say in who I want to stand next to? You’ll be standing next to Yu Jingya then.”
The group had already gathered together. Director Zeng's words were meant for Xu Yanyu, but also to instruct Yu Jingya.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Jingya's gaze towards Xu Yanyu became obscure.
Everyone here works in the entertainment industry, so why is Xu Yanyu so favored by Director Zeng?
She had worked with director Zeng on a film, and he had never been this close to her before.
Then she thought back to how polite Director Zeng was when she introduced Zhang Yubing to him.
Yu Jingya felt that Xu Yanyu was truly disgusting. During the live stream, he kept saying that he would not tolerate any unspoken rules, but his actual actions were completely different.
Fei Zeyu, standing next to him, also curled up a mocking smile.
Xu Yanyu frowned slightly, still wanting to refuse, but Director Wu next to her said, "Old Zeng has been telling me this for a long time, just listen to him. The movie premiere is coming soon."
Director Wu heard Director Zeng compare Xu Yanyu to a kindred spirit with shared ideals and pursuits every day.
He felt that Xu Yanyu couldn't go against Lao Zeng's wishes, so he might as well agree and let everyone enter the venue sooner.
Director Zeng continued, "You can listen to Lao Wu this time, you're also one of my heroes! Hahaha... We're going in, everyone's definitely waiting impatiently."
Since that's the case, Xu Yanyu didn't refuse.
Yu Jingya looked down at the ground, concealing the mockery in her eyes.
Wow, that's impressive. They even managed to get in touch with Director Wu.
At 8 p.m., it was the official premiere time for director Zeng's film "The Road to Success".
Director Zeng led a group of staff members to stand in front of the stage, his face beaming with excitement.
Xu Yanyu stood next to Yu Jingya, a professional smile on her face.
The audience and media were somewhat surprised.
Has Xu Yanyu acted in any of Zeng's films?
"No, Xu Yanyu wasn't seen in the opening and closing photos released at the time."
"Then why is Xu Yanyu standing on the stage, and right next to the lead actor?"
"I'm sure Xu Yanyu didn't act in this movie. Don't you know Fei Zeyu's character?"
His studio had previously issued a statement saying that Fei Zeyu would never have any contact with Xu Yanyu in his life, and that Xu Yanyu should not try to take advantage of Fei Zeyu.
Isn't a film collaboration just social interaction? Knowing Fei Zeyu's personality, if he knew Xu Yanyu was involved, he definitely wouldn't act in it.
Many media professionals bowed their heads and exchanged information, while their cameras flashed white light incessantly.
When Zhang Yubing, who was sitting in the front row, saw Xu Yanyu appear, her mouth dropped open.
How did Xu Yanyu manage to get herself featured in Director Zeng's film?
She was even wearing the dress she had her eye on; she really hates these celebrities who try to ride on her coattails for attention.
She took out her phone and opened her chat with Yu Jingya. "Sis, did Xu Yanyu act in this movie? Why is she standing in the spotlight? And standing next to you!"
Yu Jingya certainly didn't have time to answer Zhang Yubing's question.
Her attention was focused on the media personnel below, and she needed to maintain an elegant demeanor.
Suddenly, a voice called out from the right, "Xu Yanyu looks beautiful today. Turn your head so I can take a picture of you!"
Yu Jingya's expression immediately cracked.
She knew that she would look very ugly standing next to Xu Yanyu.
Xu Yanyu turned to look at the photographer who had run to the right and gave him a perfect smile.
At this moment, Yu Jingya, who was standing next to her, suddenly spoke up: "Ms. Xu, I actually think your choice to switch careers and become a singer is quite wise."
"After all, you've been acting for several years, and your acting has gotten worse and worse. Look at you, you've only sung a few songs, and your current fame is worlds apart from when you were acting."
Xu Yanyu turned her head, a smile playing on her lips, and looked at Yu Jingya. "So... what are you trying to say?"
"I'm just suggesting you stop acting. Sometimes we have to accept our fate. If God didn't open a window for you to acting, why bother trying?"
"Isn't it easier to sing well, participate in variety shows, or do live streams well than to act in movies?"
There's no need to force your way into circles that don't want you to!
Yu Jingya's lips moved very little, but she still managed to finish what she was saying.
Her voice could only be heard by Xu Yanyu.
Just then, Director Zeng, who was standing nearby, saw that the atmosphere had been built up quite well.
He picked up the microphone and began a passionate speech, wanting to share his thoughts on making the film with the audience, and also to convey some of the film's deeper meaning.
"I know you must have been thinking on your way here, what good movies can Zeng Yingde make? Is he just going to use some big scenes and big productions to create hype again?"
"But then you all think about it again, and realize, oh, you're not interested in Zeng Yingde's movies, but you have confidence in Fei Zeyu's acting skills!"
"Okay, I have to thank Zeyu for his support! You all have to support Zeyu when you watch the movie later. Whether he acts well or not, you all have to praise him!"
After Director Zeng finished making a few playful remarks, the audience burst into laughter.
...
While Xu Yanyu was keeping an eye on Director Zeng's movements with one ear, she also made sure to hear Yu Jingya's words with the other.
Xu Yanyu glanced at Yu Jingya beside her and replied in a low voice, "Miss Yu, I'm sorry, but I actually find filming quite interesting. I'm a very stubborn person, I just like to argue with people and to get to the bottom of things..."
Besides, I don't need to squeeze in; I'm just too popular.
After Xu Yanyu finished speaking, she turned her gaze downwards and a bright smile appeared on her face.
Since entering the room, Yu Jingya had been looking down on her. Xu Yanyu didn't expect that she was a hundred-dollar bill and that everyone would like her.
Moreover, today is Director Zeng's special day, and Xu Yanyu doesn't want to spoil his mood.
Unexpectedly, before she could express her dissatisfaction with Yu Jingya's attitude, Yu Jingya came over and lectured her first.
Yu Jingya was a little angry when she heard her words.
"You really don't mind your past embarrassing history! What makes you think you're worthy of standing next to me?"
My TV dramas are huge hits, but you don't even have a single representative work to your name.
The more Yu Yajing talked, the more she felt that standing with Xu Yanyu was an insult to her.
Although the entertainment industry in Korea doesn't have the seniority system like in Goryeo, Xu Yanyu should still have some self-awareness.
She took on this film directed by Zeng with the intention of winning awards, but at the premiere, Xu Yanyu stole the spotlight from her as the leading lady.
