Chapter 1969: Downcast
It was four in the afternoon when the plane touched down in Sea City .
With the winter season approaching, the weather had turned cold at this point . As they walked out of the airport, they could feel the temperature dipping further .
Coincidentally, Hua Jin had booked in the same hotel as the actress .
She went to get ready for the event with her gown and makeup inside the hotel room .
Styling could be a time-consuming affair . After more than an hour of dressing and applying makeup, the artist stood facing her reflection in the full-length mirror . Everything was just right; she was elegant and stunning without being showy .
By the time she arrived at the venue in her Bentley, the red carpet at the entrance was already in an uproar .
The freezing weather did not stop the artists from doing all they could to become the talking point of this film festival . Lingering on the carpeted walkway, they flaunted their stuff shamelessly in their backless or plunge dresses, trying to get as much media attention as possible . All the reporters were in position by then, their cameras with long lenses flashing nonstop .
Flanking either side of the few hundred meters of red carpet, loyal fans and followers held their fort with banners of their favorite artists .
Of course, there was also no lack of supporters engaged by the artists to boost their presence .
Excitement filled the air, but the woman was not bothered by it in the least . Without her husband next to her, the much-anticipated film festival had lost its meaning .
Her nervousness was gone by now, though that could not be said of her manager .
He was suddenly feeling nervous .
This was not his first time on the red carpet; he used to do this with his artists in the past .
He often drew stares when he walked abreast with Gu Xingze then .
Still, it was different this time around .
“Shishi, let’s alight . ”
He got out of the vehicle first and then gave his hand to help her down .
With her hand holding the hemline and her other hand holding her manager’s, she elegantly alighted from the car and walked down the aisle .
Despite her low spirit, she put on a bright smile and graceful demeanor as she faced the onslaught of flashes going off around her; she tried to showcase her best angles before the camera .
A beguiling smile soon spread on her lips following a deep inhalation . She was too beautiful for words .
Her presence on the red carpet with her manager quickly attracted the attention of many .
Qin Zhou had achieved legendary status in showbiz . Even though he was only a star agent, his reputation preceded many artists .
He had single-handedly raised Gu Xingze to fame and was the force behind the superstar’s decade-long glory and success .
Maintaining a low profile offscreen, he had created countless miracles for the superstar .
There was another reason for his hype . As someone working offstage, he was surprisingly good-looking . In fact, many young hunks in showbiz could not hold a candle to him .
There was nothing exceptional about him appearing with the actress at the ceremony .
As everyone knew, she was an artist he had been grooming since the start; hence, to see him bringing his charge was not unexpected .
Nevertheless, the man felt sorry for her . It was supposed to be Mu Yazhe walking down the red carpet with her, after all .
If the one walking with her was her husband now, then no one would be able to top the news other than her .
As her partner, the man could bear down anyone with his charisma and reputation in this event .
Alas, he was absent sans a reason .
