It was the day of Legend of Concubine Qing’s press conference for their opening ceremony. Rosiley headed to the venue with a cameraman.
When she left the company, Yayoi was still worried about her. She told her that if anything happened along the way, she had to protect herself.
Rosiley was very touched by her good friend’s care and concern for her. She could only repeatedly promise her that she would come back safely.
When she arrived at the hotel where the press conference was held, the entrance was decorated with giant posters of the actors in the drama. Security guards stopped the Zevs from crossing the security line.
Although it was about four in the afternoon, the summer sun was still very intense. Those Zevs seemed to not care at all. They waited excitedly for their favorite celebrities to arrive.
Seeing this situation, Rosiley could not help feeling emotional. The biggest blessing of being a celebrity had to be having a bunch of Zevs who would follow them wherever they went without complaints.
Upon entering the hotel, she could see the Zev support from various Zevdoms. After walking around, Rosiley’s hands were filled with a few bags, which were full of gifts that the Zevs had prepared for the press.
She knew almost all the actors in the drama, other than Yan Xu, who played the emperor.
He was an extremely mysterious man.
Three years ago, he suddenly appeared in the industry. He debuted as the male lead of a melodrama. Upon debuting, he rose to fame with his handsome looks and detailed acting. He garnered lots of Zevs.
In the past three years, he shot a total of five dramas and one movie. They all received good reviews.
In the short three-year time, he climbed up to the A-list for male actors. For three years consecutively, he was chosen as the most desirable male celebrity to marry.
Such a character should receive lots of media attention, but there was barely any news about him.
The only news about him was about him promoting his dramas.
Of course, it was not that the media did not want to publish any news about him. Instead, they were unable to get any information about him.
When he was on set, he minded his own business and stayed out of trouble. Other than the interactions in the scenes, he usually did not contact his female co-stars privately after the shoot ended.
When he was not shooting dramas, the press could not get hold of his location at all. It was as if he had disappeared.
Hence, in these three years, the press really wanted to get some juicy news about him, but their hopes were not fulfilled.
Standing in front of Yan Xu’s giant Zev-support poster, Rosiley silently studied the man on the poster.
The outline of his handsome face was clearly defined, his facial features were sharp, and his brows were light. His eyes were especially clear with not a single speck of dust in them.
In today’s society, especially a dark place like the entertainment industry, it was very rare to see a “clean” person with such a good temperament.
As a member of the press, she could not help feeling curious about him. She really wanted to uncover his private life, which he had hidden so well.
This was probably the evil nature of all press personnel.
She scorned herself, and when she turned around, she saw other press personnel entering the venue one after another.
She quickly called out to her cameraman and followed the crowd to enter the venue.
…
The big LED screen in the middle of the stage was displaying the promotional poster of each actor.
TEG News was a renowned media company in the industry. Hence, they were arranged to sit right in the middle, just one row away from the actors.
Rosiley sat down. When she looked up, the big screen was showing Rorey’s poster.
This time around, she played a sad character. All her life, she only loved the emperor. She was a concubine who held back and did not fight for attention. Eventually, she helped the female lead become the empress.
Rosiley had to say that Rorey was really smart this time around to choose a character that would gain the audience’s love. She was really trying to use this drama to restore her reputation.
“Why did the production team of this drama choose Rorey to act as the second female lead? Do they not care about reputation anymore?”
When Rosiley heard the question raised by a reporter beside her, she thought to herself that this was probably what all the press thought as well.
“I heard that Rorey paid to get in. In this day and age, as long as you have money, even if your acting sucks, the production team will still bring you in.”
“Isn’t Rorey’s fiance Yunis? He’s really trying so hard to promote his fiancee.”
