As he had applied for leave, he was taking a day off today.
He had recorded one additional episode yesterday, so with the crisis alleviated, Zhang Ye remained at home to sleep.
He remained lazing in bed, even when it was already 10 o’clock. He began watching television in bed, switching to one channel after another. Suddenly, Zhang Ye’s hand stopped, as he quickly adjusted the television’s volume. It seemed to be scenes recorded from last night. It was a press conference of a new movie release. The name was familiar; it was called “White Maiden 2”. He remembered the day that the game ring had changed his world; one of the first things he had seen on the television’s news were the words “White Maiden”. It was produced by one of the more famous directors, Wu Bang, in this world. Its box office sales were very high and now its sequel was being released.
Why was Zhang Ye so concerned about it?
There was only one reason. The movie’s female lead was too beautiful!
When Zhang Ye’s eyes swept across the television, his eyes had remained fixated on her. This world also had many superstar Heavenly Queens. This person was probably the prettiest celebrity Zhang Ye had seen in this world. Right, maybe it should be said that she was most fitting to what he considered the aesthetic of a beautiful celebrity.
Wang Xiaomei?
Tian Bin’s wife?
None of them could compare with her beauty!
The only person who could compare was probably Rao Aimin. If the landlady had worn something more fashionable, then the two might be comparable.
On the screen, the press conference had ended. Zhang Yuanqi* was surrounded by reporters. Even the famous director, Wu Bang, did not stir up such a fuss.
“Sis Zhang, what are your expectations of the box office sales?”
“Teacher Zhang, I heard that you were injured during the filming process?”
“Can you tell us the plot of the new movie? Has there been any changes with the prequel?”
“Sis Zhang, your new song has had unsatisfactory results once again. Are you planning not to develop in the music industry from now on? To focus on your movie career?”
The journalists began rattling off their questions like a machine gun.
The onscreen Zhang Yuanqi smiled very amiably. She did not seem to have any airs, “Ask one by one; I will definitely answer them. Well, I definitely hope so! The higher the box office sales, the better, but I will need everyone’s support. I can’t reveal the plot, or else it’s pointless for everyone to watch. Hurhur. As for my injury, sorry for worrying everyone. Thank you very much. It’s already alright. It was just a superficial wound. A bandage healed it the second day after being wounded. It was just exaggerated when the news spread out. It’s not considered an injury.”
“Teacher Zhang!”
“Do you have any plans for a new film this year?”
“I’ve heard that you will be one of the judges for the upcoming Golden and Silver Microphone Broadcaster Choice Awards?”
Zhang Yuanqi said in a pleasant manner, “There might be a new film being recorded at the end of the year. As for being a judge… You sure keep abreast with the news. I’ve indeed been invited. My manager is still checking my schedule; if there is no event that cannot be postponed, I will definitely be there.”
The journalists carried on their siege, as they tailed her from behind.
Zhang Ye was not sure of Zhang Yuanqi’s age. She looked like she was about thirty years old. She was this world’s Heavenly Queen and was also an S-list superstar. She had won the country’s most authoritative Best Female Lead and Best Supporting Actress awards more than once. A few of her previous songs had even received the Golden Melody Award. She was a celebrity that was involved in several lines of work. If one compared fame and popularity, Zhang Yuanqi was probably ranked in the top five in the country. She would be described as a Heavenly Queen figure amongst Heavenly Queens. Although she was not considered very old, she had a lot of experience. She had debuted very early. In the entertainment industry, Zhang Yuanqi was considered a Big Sister. According to hierarchy, many newcomers would have to address her as Master Aunt. Zhang Yuanqi was pretty and famous. What was most critical was that she was easygoing and elegant. Hence, her position in the entertainment circle was extremely high. She was also very well-liked.
Look at her looks!
