The Xilin Film Festival is held abroad. In addition to various actors, many famous singers will be invited to perform at the opening and closing ceremonies.
Its invitation is relatively easy to get among film festivals of the same level.
Therefore, the Xilin Film Festival is also the film festival where it is easiest to get on the red carpet.
This is mainly because there are many sponsors, and sponsors can usually get anonymous invitation letters.
Every year, many celebrities fail to get invitations, and instead receive anonymous invitation letters from various channels. They wear carefully selected expensive dresses and walk the dozens of meters long red carpet slowly for several minutes.
This time Ye Li didn't expect Gu Qingchi to show up, he just wanted him to see the world.
The Xilin Film Festival has attracted a lot of attention and will be broadcast live on the official website. The guest lineup invited by the Xilin Film Festival has always been luxurious, and each of them is of great background, which can be described as star-studded.
Whether it is the media or the film festival, the focus at that time will probably be on international superstars like Xie Luyu.
Although Wang Haisheng joked about letting Gu Qingchi make an appearance, a little-known person like Gu Qingchi would most likely not even get a single shot.
The only time you can show your face in front of the camera is probably the dozen seconds when walking on the red carpet.
So Ye Li just wanted Gu Qingchi to see the world. He didn't take it seriously and didn't let the team go with him. Only Xiaoke went with Gu Qingchi.
There were only a few flights, so it was normal for schedules to overlap. Xiaoke recognized a few celebrities on the plane with her sharp eyes, and she spoke to Gu Qingchi in a low voice.
"Brother Gu, look over there, there are quite a few seniors. Cheng Xian in front, he was born in a talent show, but he has been transforming recently. His company has many celebrities endorsing the brands of film festival investors. He probably got an invitation from an artist in the same company to walk the red carpet."
"There's also Yang Shuoshuo over there, a very talented actress, but she's just unlucky and has been a runner-up for several years. Maybe she can win an award this time. There are a few more, Wang Yingling, over there."
Xiaoke even has his hometown accent.
"Oh my goodness, he brought four assistants with him, all of whom were traveling first class. He's really rich. I spent a lot of time to negotiate for this benefit with Brother Ye."
"Wang Yingling and the others are probably here to get on the red carpet. I heard that Wang Yingling has a bad temper, so Brother Gu, you should stay away from her. And that guy over there isn't very friendly either."
Gu Qingchi was not very sensitive to orientation and faces, and was somewhat face-blind, so he couldn't tell who was who. He just followed Xiaoke's finger as he moved his eyes blankly.
Xiaoke spoke very quickly. After he finished speaking, Gu Qingchi finally looked forward in the direction Xiaoke pointed and looked at Xiaoke with admiration.
Xiaoke enjoyed it very much and promised with a pat on his chest.
"Brother Gu, it doesn't matter if you can't recognize me, as long as I know me."
Then she became inexplicably nervous again, holding onto the back of the chair with both hands, shrinking her neck, and muttering to herself.
"In fact, it's better if you don't know them. That way you don't have to be nervous. Just treat them all as cabbages. Cabbages, all cabbages. You can do it, Xiaoke."
Gu Qingchi turned his head, looked into Xiaoke's eyes, and flattered her seriously.
"Xiao Ke is amazing. She is the most capable assistant I have ever seen."
Gu Qingchi sat next to her, so close that she could even see Xiaoke's reflection in Gu Qingchi's eyes clearly.
Xiaoke's face gradually turned red. She let go of her hands that were holding on to the seat, and couldn't help but cover her face and laugh, forgetting about being nervous.
"It's okay."
Xiaoke and Gu Qingchi stayed in the corner, they boarded the plane early.
Although she is very capable, she is young and this is her first time participating in an event of this scale.
She was so excited the night before that she almost didn't sleep. She was sitting inside the plane and was still alert when she first boarded the plane, but she felt sleepy after a while and fell asleep leaning on the seat in a daze.
When the flight attendant came over, Gu Qingchi asked for a blanket and covered her with it.
Just after he finished covering it, there was a click sound in front of him. When Gu Qingchi turned around, he saw a boy in front of him put away his phone.
Ye Li had already told Gu Qingchi in advance that when he became more famous in the future, many people would point their phones at him anytime and anywhere.
So Gu Qingchi didn't care.
By the time we got off the plane, Xiaoke had just woken up.
During the film festival, there will be reporters waiting at the airport.
Some came to take pictures of superstars like Xie Luyu, who are popular in their own right, while others received money and got the news in advance to cooperate in taking pictures and publishing news.
After all, it is the Xilin Film Festival, and so many stars are trying their best to shine, so it is necessary to create public opinion.
They brought two bags and a suitcase, and Gu Qingchi pushed the luggage cart.
Xiaoke walked beside him, feeling a little embarrassed as she had a bag and a suitcase inside.
"Brother Gu, let me do it."
Gu Qingchi avoided her hand.
"Xiao Ke, stay alert. There are more important things to do."
Gu Qingchi saw that Xiaoke still looked a little uneasy.
It's rare to say more.
"I don't really understand these things, please help me, Xiaoke."
Xiao Ke straightened his back.
"Leave it to me, don't worry, Brother Gu. I'm a professional. I consulted several seniors before coming here."
There was a reporter not far away who took a photo of them.
In the photo, Gu Qingchi was pushing a luggage cart and Xiaoke was walking beside him.
My colleagues next to me didn’t quite understand.
"Isn't that the newcomer who worked with Xie Luyu a few days ago? Why shoot this? Although he is a newcomer with great momentum, he looks like an assistant at first glance. There is nothing explosive about him."
The reporter looked down.
"If you can't put it in the newspaper, you can put it on the official blog. The composition is pretty good. Since you are here, it doesn't matter if you take one more photo. It doesn't take much effort. Okay, I'll post it now."
The other one also took a closer look and sighed.
"No wonder she became popular before her debut. She looks so outstanding. It would be a pity if she didn't get into the circle. She should develop well and don't make any troubles. She will be a top star in the future."
"That's right. Let's go. Wang Yingling has finished the shoot and we've got the money. We'll give her a prominent spot and that's it. But if you ask me, her team is really no good. Look at the clothes they matched for her today. It's probably a waste of money. You said that since we've already spent the money, why not pay a little more and hire a better clothing stylist?"
"Her dresses are not good either. Last year, she wore a dress that looked like a barrel and was trending on the Internet."
The two looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
Xiaoke and Gu Qingchi rested for a night, and the opening ceremony was held the next night.
Xiaoke is in charge of the costumes. She is indeed capable and knows a little bit about everything. What she lacks now is the experience of being able to practice in various occasions.
In fact, Ye Li’s main consideration this time was to let Xiaoke exercise, and Gu Qingchi was secondary, as there would not be any shots of him anyway.
Even Ye Li could see that the movie still had many flaws. After all, it was a commercial film that was shot in just a few months.
Besides, life is not a novel. He was very optimistic about Gu Qingchi, and he never thought that he could win a trophy so easily.
There are only a handful of artists who win the award after being nominated for the first time. The last time was Xie Luyu, a talented newcomer with strong momentum, the envy of others.
Ye Li has also seen that movie. The teenagers are full of energy and their talent is terrifying.
Xiaoke chose a black suit, black tie, and white shirt for Gu Qingchi in a very conventional way. Apart from a badge-like decoration on the chest, there was nothing else fancy.
An old Italian brand.
Time was tight, so I bought ready-made clothes and leather shoes of the same brand. They were not expensive, but they were also appropriate for attending such occasions.
The upper body is very stunning.
Gu Qingchi has a very good figure and better proportions than many models.
Many people's legs will look short when they wear suits, but when Gu Qingchi swings his long legs, he looks extremely tall.
He casually grabbed a small bunch of hair behind his head.
It's like a character straight out of a comic book.
Xiaoke looked at his watch.
"Brother Gu, it's almost time. We should set off in half an hour."
Gu Qingchi was used to standing straight outside, but now that he was familiar with Xiaoke, he became very casual in the room.
At this moment, he put his suit jacket aside, crossed his legs, sat on the sofa, leaned against the back of the sofa, one arm was stretched out and the other was bent, resting on the back of the sofa, in a leisurely posture.
Because he took off his coat, his waist was very eye-catching, but his belt was neatly fastened and the buttons were also fastened meticulously, looking very ascetic.
Xiaoke also wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses with a chain. She just tried them on Gu Qingchi. Just a pair of glasses made Gu Qingchi's aura a little stronger.
It simply gives people the feeling that a gentleman has been scumbed or a beast in human clothing.
Although Xiaoke felt it was very exciting, considering the seriousness of the occasion, she chose to be safe and finally gave it to Gu Qingchi.
But she asked Gu Qingchi to pose and took several photos, preparing to post them on Weibo as a benefit someday.
Xiaoke and Gu Qingchi were ready to enter early, that is, walk the red carpet.
There are also rules for entrance order. The first to enter are superstars like Xie Luyu, followed by the invited guests, and finally the artists with anonymous invitations - the so-called red carpet crawlers.
But every year there are always a few people who cut in line to walk the red carpet. The superstars in front don't dare to cut in, but those behind don't have to worry about anything.
Actors are never as famous as traffic stars, and sometimes they are a little weaker. Actors who are not particularly famous will not be noticed by the public.
Besides, once people have walked down the red carpet, they can’t go back. This kind of thing has been repeatedly banned and has become something that everyone knows.
Gu Qingchi's name is in the back middle.
It was Gu Qingchi's turn soon. Xiaoke was a little nervous. She tidied Gu Qingchi from head to toe again.
"Brother Gu, you can tell about 80% of the speed by looking at the people in front of you. Don't use the speed of the stars behind you as a reference. There are people walking on the red carpet, so don't walk too fast or too slow. If you walk too fast, someone might want to take a photo, but if you walk too slow, they won't be able to take the photo. If you walk too slowly, they will be ridiculed. The live broadcast is on."
She half-knelt down, straightened Gu Qingchi's suit trouser legs, and then stood up immediately. The star in front of her had already walked to the end of the red carpet.
"Okay, it's our turn."
Xiaoke pushed Gu Qingchi forward a little.
Before Gu Qingchi stepped under the spotlight, a female star took a few quick steps onto the red carpet, with her assistant adjusting her skirt behind her.
After getting ready, she walked slowly and gracefully on the red carpet.
Xiaoke stamped his feet.
"It's Wang Yingling. She comes to the red carpet every year and is used to being domineering."
Gu Qingchi lowered his head to comfort her.
"It's okay, let's go to the next one."
Xiaoke sighed helplessly. Wang Yingling walked along the dozens of meters long red carpet for four or five minutes. She only walked over reluctantly at the last moment when the security guard urged her to.
“Don’t go too fast or too slow, and stop for a while in between.”
Gu Qingchi nodded, then stepped onto the red carpet.
The noise from the photographer over there was originally noisy, but now it has gradually quieted down.
There were only the sounds of shutter clicks and flashes of light.
Gu Qingchi followed Xiaoke's instructions strictly, walking neither too fast nor too slow, and stopped halfway. It was a textbook way of walking on the red carpet.
When he reached the middle, he stopped and stood there.
The flash was so bright that it was almost blinding.
Someone behind me was shouting in English.
"Hey, honey, turn around and look here."
