Chapter 17
On the day of the ceremony.
The red carpet is set up outdoors and is 200 meters long. Twelve LED lights in the shape of palace lanterns stand on both sides, which is magnificent.
The event hadn't even begun yet, and many staff members, wearing work badges, were busy preparing. Supervisors from various departments were constantly walking around, talking on walkie-talkies.
The entire event was broadcast live. If anything went wrong, it would become a laughing stock for the next year, so every detail had to be taken seriously.
Directly opposite the red carpet is the media area. Some of the invited media reporters are holding microphones with magazine logos printed on them, some are holding high-definition cameras, and the invited internet celebrities are all ready with their cameras.
In fact, they have already prepared some hot search words and copywriting, and they just need to wait for the event to start and send them out by taking photos.
Some reporters, after receiving benefits from celebrities, will praise their looks in their press releases and at the same time bring down rival celebrities.
This kind of trend is getting worse and worse in the entertainment industry. Some celebrities even give red envelopes or say hello to reporters present in private to avoid risks. They don't ask for good words from them, as long as they don't slander them.
The weather was not good today. It was supposed to be a sunny day, but just as the show was about to start, a dark cloud suddenly came and it started to rain. The red carpet was not sheltered. Although the rain was not heavy, it was not to be underestimated. If they did not use umbrellas, I believe that in a short while, the stars' hairstyles would be the same -
Wet hair in a neat mess.
Fortunately, the organizers were well prepared and gave everyone a transparent umbrella.
Because there were so many celebrities participating, plus the interviews, it took an hour just to walk the red carpet.
The big names who appeared later could take shelter from the rain in covered areas, but the little stars who appeared earlier were in a terrible situation.
Because Cheng Cheng was the first to appear, she had been waiting in the waiting area early. She was wrapped in an ankle-length coat that covered her exquisite figure and the clothes underneath.
Xiao Xia stood on tiptoe to help her hold the umbrella.
Cheng Cheng tied up all her long hair today, revealing her full and smooth forehead. Her long black hair was tied up at her neck, revealing a few slightly curly strands, which was very feminine.
There is no decoration on the neck, but the jade earrings on the earlobes complement the jade hairpin on the head.
"It's your turn." The staff member in charge of guidance was called Cheng Cheng.
Cheng Cheng took a deep breath: "Hu——" and moved her slightly frozen hands and feet so that she could show her most beautiful posture when walking on the red carpet.
Cheng Cheng didn't take the umbrella Xiao Xia handed over: "It's only a few hundred meters, it's okay."
As she spoke, she took off her coat, and her clothes for the day were finally revealed.
She was wearing a bamboo green cheongsam with dark patterns. The cheongsam was made of pure silk and lay flat on her body like skin. Cheng Cheng didn't have a single bit of excess fat on her body. Her waist was her waist and her hips were her hips. The dress was like her second skin and it was obvious that it was specially tailored for her.
The base color of the cheongsam is like the thinnest shade of green on the tip of a bamboo leaf after rain. It looks plain from a distance, but up close you can see silver threads woven into the warp and weft. As she walks and the angle changes, the light refracts and gives off a lacquer sheen, like the mist on Longjing tea.
It happened that there were raindrops in the air at this time, which complemented the cheongsam she was wearing even better.
Cheng Cheng's appearance has a cool feeling, and after wearing the cheongsam, this temperament is brought to the extreme.
Cheng Cheng's appearance in this outfit immediately gave the reporters a surprise.
In the past, when walking on the red carpet, female celebrities wore various kinds of dresses, such as those with large skirts, tube tops, suspenders, or see-through dresses. Not many people wore cheongsams on the red carpet.
What's more, Cheng Cheng has an excellent figure and temperament. She is a dancer and walks in a leisurely and elegant manner. In just 200 meters of red carpet, she feels like she is walking on a catwalk.
Some smart reporters quickly came back to their senses from their amazement, pressed the shutter button first, and sent out the beautiful photos first to grab traffic as soon as possible.
Cheng Cheng walked to the autograph area on the red carpet and signed her name. The red carpet host also came over to her and first praised her outfit. Then he asked, "Is there any special design on this dress today?"
Cheng Cheng calmly replied, "The cheongsam I'm wearing today is inspired by the painting 'A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains.' The embroidery on it is made using the intangible cultural heritage technique of 'golden thread embroidery'... Just like our Eastern beauty, it connects the past and the present and can withstand the test of time."
"Well said." The host nodded repeatedly.
"Actually, there is another reason." Cheng Cheng paused and continued.
"Oh, is there any other reason?" the host asked cooperatively.
"This cheongsam was also a birthday gift from my father. My grandfather and father made a living by making cheongsams, but unfortunately my generation didn't have the talent, so the business was discontinued."
"Today, I am honored to be able to attend such an important event as the Starlight Gala. I want to carry my father's thoughts and witness this important moment with him."
The speech was profound, full of emotion and was truly brilliant.
A reporter who heard this outside the venue said to his companion, "It's not enough that she's so beautiful, she's also so good at talking. This woman is going to be famous. Hurry up and find someone to interview her. We might not be able to interview her in the future."
Soon, terms such as [Cheng Cheng cheongsam] and [Cheng Cheng red carpet speech] quickly became hot searches.
This was certainly due to Su Qing's arrangement behind the scenes, but if passers-by were not interested, it would not have been on the high search list.
Jiang Wantong, who was waiting to see the joke, saw the trending search and was so angry that her mouth was twisted: !!!!!!
Everyone who comes to the Starlight Awards Ceremony will receive a prize. Tonight, Cheng Cheng also won the Most Promising New Actor Award.
In addition to positive reviews online, there are also some doubts.
A rising star? Is she an actress if she has any works?
Stop marketing your beauty, let your work speak for itself.
I admit that she is beautiful, but she doesn’t need to be on the hot search every day. Who is she?
Below, a fan of Cheng Cheng patiently explained: Our Cheng Cheng used to be an idol, and he dances very well. He is currently transforming into an actor. His new work "Nine Heavens and Mysterious Moon" will be scheduled soon. If you are interested, you can pay attention to it~
Then came the lengthy award ceremony.
The important awards are all at the end, and with the actors’ performances to warm up the audience, it is estimated that it will not be over until 11 o’clock in the evening.
Cheng Cheng's seat was in the fifth row, and there were not many people on either side.
This position is at the back and the camera will hardly capture it, so some stars will go to the rest room to rest and come out when it is almost over.
Only Cheng Cheng was still sitting there very professionally. She had come to prepare at three o'clock in the afternoon. It was already nine o'clock, and she didn't know how many more hours she had to wait.
Cheng Cheng yawned imperceptibly.
She bent down, picked up the phone on the ground and started playing with it secretly.
Anyway, no one on either side could see what she was playing.
A shadow flashed before her eyes. Cheng Cheng, who was playing a small game on her mobile phone, didn't even raise her head. She just retracted her legs to let the other person pass.
......The pair of feet wearing black leather shoes still stopped in front of her.
Cheng Cheng looked up in confusion and was startled.
She widened her watery eyes and asked, "Why are you here?"
Zhou Yue took the empty seat next to her and said, "I'll pick you up from get off work."
Cheng Cheng glanced around secretly. Fortunately, this was the edge area and no one noticed.
Push Zhou Yue hard: "Go back to your own place and stay away from me."
Zhou Yue felt like he was being disliked: "........"
He is invited to this grand ceremony every year, but Zhou Yue has never been here. Today, he learned that Cheng Cheng would also be attending, so he made a sudden decision to come. The organizer still arranged a seat for her in the first row.
It’s a pity that it’s too far away from Cheng Cheng.
Seeing Zhou Yue's buttocks as if nailed to the chair, unable to move, Cheng Cheng became even more anxious: "Hurry up, or someone will take a picture of you!"
Zhou Yue said quietly, "Am I so shameful to be seen?"
The mournful little ending tone has a bit of a resentful temperament.
Cheng Cheng stared straight ahead, as if she didn't recognize the handsome man next to her. She maintained a perfect smile and whispered through gritted teeth, "If you don't leave now, I'll leave."
It seemed like someone had noticed this place, and a photographer with a camera was approaching.
Zhou Yue had no choice but to surrender: "Okay, I'll leave. Is it not okay for me to leave?" He stood up resignedly.
After finally sending the giant Buddha away, Cheng Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhou Yue returned to his position and socialized with the bigwigs around him.
I was thinking in my heart: How boring! If I hadn't come here to pick her up from get off work, I wouldn't have wasted my time coming here. This woman doesn't even appreciate it.
After a round of greetings, I was finally able to sit down.
Zhou Yue took out his cell phone and typed: When you’re done, go directly to the parking lot and I’ll take you back.
Cheng Cheng:......Brother, I have a driver.
Zhou Yue: Let your driver go first.
Cheng Cheng:.......
Zhou Yue: Hurry up, or I’ll go over there later.
Cheng Cheng was convinced: okok.
Zhou Yue was so busy messaging Cheng Cheng that he had no idea that he was being filmed on the big screen by the photographer.
Because Zhou Yue rarely appears in public, his high net worth and mysterious appearance have always been the focus of attention from the outside world.
It is a rare opportunity to participate in such an entertainment event, so photographers who are good at capturing hot spots naturally cannot miss the opportunity.
Then, Zhou Yue appeared on the big screen with a charming face and a smile on his face while looking at his phone.
That night, who Zhou Yue was messaging also became a hot topic.
Everyone speculated that Zhou Yue must have a girlfriend.
Unfortunately, gossipy netizens searched the entire Internet but couldn’t find any clues.
