Chapter 99: Walking the Red Carpet with You and Having Dinner with You
On the premiere day, Rongzhen wore a dress and jewelry sponsored by the brand, and the company's new nanny car was parked downstairs.
As Xiaoyue helped her into the car, she said happily, "Sister Jiaojiao, this is a real upgrade for us."
It turns out that you have to become famous before you can get better treatment.
Rongzhen encouraged her, "Work hard, and ask Sister Zhang to ask for a raise for you later."
"What do you want me to do?" Sister Zhang came up from behind carrying bags of things.
After Xiaoyue saw Rongzhen off to the car, she turned around and quickly took all the things. She said with a smile, "I didn't ask you. Sister Jiaojiao told me to work hard and wait for you to give me a raise."
Sister Zhang looked pleased and gave a firm answer: "Don't worry, the application has been submitted. If nothing unexpected happens, I expect to be promoted to a higher rank next month."
"Wow, thank you Sister Zhang, thank you Sister Jiaojiao, I love you!" Xiaoyue was ecstatic and made a big heart shape with her free hands to the two of them.
The three of them chatted and laughed as they got into the car and drove towards their destination at a leisurely pace.
The premiere venue was already covered with a red carpet, the entrance was bustling with traffic, cameras and cameras were everywhere, and there were celebrities and media people dressed in glamorous clothes.
When Rongzhen and the others arrived, the car couldn't fit in, so they had to line up at the outside while Xiaoyue went down to look for the other people they had agreed to meet.
Sister Zhang looked at the unexpectedly lively scene outside, and followed Xiaoyue downstairs to find Director Qu and the organizer with concern.
Rongzhen stayed in the car, accompanied only by a taciturn driver. She was so bored that she couldn't even open the window to look out.
Because there were too many reporters and people from the same circle outside, Sister Zhang repeatedly warned her not to show up in public easily before she left.
Rong Zhen stayed still for a while, and suddenly she received a text message from Chu Xicheng asking her where she was.
She explained the location and asked him where he was now.
We had agreed to attend the premiere together, but now it seems like she's the only one here.
"I'm behind your car."
The sound of a horn behind the car and Chu Xicheng's ding-dong ding-dong reply sounded at the same time.
Rongzhen immediately opened a third of the car window and looked back, and sure enough, she saw a black commercial vehicle with its hazard lights on.
The other party also lowered the car window a little, stretched out his slender fingers and waved at her, then revealed a pair of narrow and long phoenix eyes.
Rongzhen smiled, greeted him like him, and asked him via text message how he planned to get in.
Chu Xicheng said that they were the main cast team, and the director and the organizer would definitely make arrangements. He had already asked his agent to go over and talk to them, so now they just had to wait patiently and there was no need to panic.
It just so happens that Sister Zhang has also been there, so the matter should be settled soon.
I just don't understand why there are so many people here, blocking the way in.
Chu Xicheng told her that some were invited by the director to show their support, some were media who came on their own initiative after hearing the news, and some were internet celebrities who came specifically to walk the red carpet to catch the attention.
After all, the film's publicity and promotion work was done well, and the actors such as Chu Xicheng, Rong Zhen, Qiao Yuzhu and others are popular in their own right, so you can imagine how popular it will be.
While the two were chatting and waiting in the car, Li Jin and Yun Fanfan also arrived one after another.
After Rongzhen contacted them, he created a small group and invited several people to join.
Finally, only Qiao Yuzhu was left. When she arrived, the road ahead was gradually being cleared. Xiaoyue and Sister Zhang also came back and told Rongzhen that they would be walking on the red carpet soon and asked her to be prepared.
When Rongzhen was feeling nervous, Qiao Yuzhu, who had joined the group, sent her some unfortunate news.
The Qiao family also came here secretly, and I don’t know what they are planning.
Rong Zhen immediately became alert, thinking that if the Qiao family wanted to cause trouble for her, she would not be polite.
While I was daydreaming, the nanny car slowly started and drove forward, finally stopping at one end of the red carpet.
The flashbulbs on both sides of the red carpet kept flashing non-stop. Before Rongzhen got off the car, she seemed to have felt their power through the car window.
I feel like my eyes are going to be blinded by the light.
Before opening the door, Sister Zhang asked her, "Are you ready? Remember, no matter how bright the flash is, don't close your eyes. Don't blink too often, and manage your facial expressions."
Rongzhen listened obediently, nodded repeatedly, and promised to do as she said.
At this time, the person in the car behind ran over, knocked on the car window and whispered: "Mr. Chu asked me to ask, is Miss Jiaojiao still in need of a male companion?"
Sister Zhang's eyes lit up instantly. She was originally embarrassed to bring this up, but since someone else brought it up first, of course they had to take advantage of this opportunity.
No matter whether it is poisonous or not, just eat it first.
So he couldn't wait to ask: "Quequequeque, should we Jiaojiao go over there, or?"
There was no need for Rong Zhen to go over. After Chu Xicheng received a positive response, he got out of the car and walked over.
From the moment he appeared, all the cameras in the venue turned towards him at the same time, taking pictures of him non-stop. In addition, there were also live cameras following him. He was the center of attention and the star of the show.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Chu Xicheng was not affected at all and walked calmly to Rong Zhen's nanny car.
Sister Zhang immediately opened the car door and pushed Rongzhen out without saying a word.
Rongzhen's feet swayed, and his arm was firmly grasped by a big hand, and then he stood up straight and firmly with the help of his strength.
Chu Xicheng's low voice came from above his head, "Be careful, take my arm, keep smiling, and follow me."
Rongzhen did as she was told subconsciously, and when she turned around, she was met by a flashing spotlight that almost blinded her big, kazilan eyes. All around her was white and still white, and she couldn't see anything clearly.
No wonder Chu Xicheng had to give those words of advice just now. If this situation suddenly comes, who can withstand it?
Fortunately, he helped lead the way.
When they were halfway there, Qiao Yuzhu, Li Jin and others were also arranged to get off the car and come over, finally sharing some of the pressure and lighting.
When she finished walking on the red carpet, Rongzhen's eyes were still blurry and she looked completely confused.
Chu Xicheng was already familiar with this, and reminded her with a smile: "If you want to achieve something in the circle, you will have to get used to these situations sooner or later."
Rong Zhen covered her eyes and waved her hands, "We'll talk about that later when I get used to it. Now let me take it easy. This is my first time encountering such a big scene, so I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."
Chu Xicheng shook his head and didn't care. He took the opportunity to invite her, "Would you like to have a meal with me after this?"
Rongzhen wanted to refuse, but she had just accepted help from someone else, and it didn't seem right to just throw it away after using it.
So she simply nodded and said, "Okay, I'll treat you."
Chu Xicheng didn't argue with her about this. He just said that he would decide the place. He knew a newly opened French restaurant with good food.
Rongzhen had no objection, but when it came to French food, she had to make one thing clear in advance.
Rongzhen: "I don't eat baked snails."
She declined the French classic.
Chu Xicheng's face lit up, and he said happily, "Don't worry, I won't eat it either."
"Mr. Chu, Ms. Jiaojiao, please come in." The staff came over and invited them in to take their seats.
As the leading actor, Chu Xicheng naturally sat in the first row. The people on both sides were either directors, producers, and sponsor representatives, all of whom had extraordinary status in the circle.
After Chu Xicheng went over, he blended in with them naturally, and even took the time out of his busy schedule to give Rong Zhen a soothing look.
Rongzhen smiled back and then sat down in her seat under the guidance of the staff.
The role she played in the movie was neither important nor trivial, and she was assigned to the side of the second row according to her ranking.
Sister Zhang and Xiaoyue entered from another passage. When they saw her, they quietly came over and were extremely satisfied with the positions they were assigned.
Didn’t you see that Li Jin and Yun Fanfan were sitting in the corner of the third row? It would be much better for their artists to have such seats.
Sister Zhang happily gave a few instructions, and before leaving, she encouraged him, "Perform well in the group photo later, and try to leave a good impression on the director and producers. They'll look for us if there are roles in the future."
As soon as she finished speaking, the premiere was about to begin, and Sister Zhang and Xiaoyue hurriedly moved to the back row.
Afterwards, the director came up and asked everyone to be quiet. He then gave a speech about his experience and feelings during the making of this movie, which won applause.
Then the producer, screenwriter, leading actor, etc. took turns to speak, and after that, they called the supporting actors up for a group photo.
Rong Zhen followed the crowd and knew that she couldn't stand in the first row due to her ranking, so she went straight to the back row. As a result, Director Qu grabbed her and pushed her to Chu Xicheng's side.
Director Qu laughed and said, "Ladies, don't go to the back, come stand in the front."
Because it is a male-centered movie, there are not many female characters, and they don’t take up much space even if they stand in the front.
Therefore, not only Rong Zhen, but also Qiao Yuzhu and Yun Fanfan were generously pushed to the front row by Director Qu, giving them a chance to show their faces.
Everyone was very grateful to Director Qu, and everyone smiled like a flower in front of the camera.
Rongzhen also had a bright smile, but when the shutter sounded, Chu Xicheng's hand suddenly rested on her lower back for some reason, making her unable to smile anymore.
At this moment, the other party took advantage of their close proximity to whisper to her: "I have already made an appointment at the restaurant. After the meal, take my car over. I have a surprise for you."
Rongzhen had a vague idea of what he wanted to do, but didn't want this surprise. What should she do?
However, she had already agreed to go to the meal, and she was being watched under his nose, so it would probably be impossible for her to break the appointment and sneak away.
Facts proved that her idea was right. Maybe Chu Xicheng saw that she wanted to escape or what, but he never let her out of his sight the whole time. After the premiere was a complete success, he immediately took her out through a special channel and got in the car to go straight to the French restaurant they had booked.
"Actually, I'm not hungry..." Rongzhen was still trying to struggle when she was pushed into the car, and looked for help at Sister Zhang and Xiaoyue who were following behind.
As a result, the two of them gave her a cheering gesture.
At the same time, Rongzhen's stomach growled twice, and her face turned red.
This is really a slap in the face.
Chu Xicheng glanced at her flat belly, raised his eyebrows and asked meaningfully: "Aren't you hungry?"
Rongzhen wanted to cover her face, "It barked by itself, it has nothing to do with me!"
She was definitely not hungry;
Chu Xicheng chuckled, ignored her inexplicable insistence, and directly picked her up and stuffed her into the car.
The paparazzi lurking nearby clicked their shutters to record the scene faithfully, and quickly uploaded it to the Internet with a short essay.
When the internet was boiling over this incident, Rong Zhen had already been taken to the French restaurant by Chu Xicheng.
There were only the two of them in the empty restaurant, surrounded by fiery red roses, and the melodious tune of the violin slowly sounded.
