Chapter 515 Premiere Interview (1)
Ran Xueyi met both Su Zixi and Miao Li backstage. Similarly to her, they were beautifully dressed for the night and their agency didn't skimp out on pouring money on what they wore tonight.
"Sister Ran!"
A short lady in white mermaid gown jumped towards her and quickly grabbed her arm. Ran Xueyi smiled at the overly friendly actress and said, "You look different today."
Miao Li nodded in agreement. Her usual fashion style was on the cute and sweet type. However, this year, her agency had a change of mind and told her to go on the bold and mature route. For the past few months, all her wardrobe was changed to accommodate her new image.
"My agency's president thought that I can no longer show off my cute personality since I started accepting more mature scripts. Honestly, I've been waiting for this to happen since I celebrated my 24th birthday last year!"
For an actress, their face was one of their main products. They would be forced by their agencies to follow a trend that was suitable and agreeable to the masses. Miao Li's petite and small figure definitely fell into the category of naive and sweet type that many male fans liked.
Creating a false persona was only one of the many duties that a celebrity should have.
Ran Xueyi smiled at her before sweeping her gaze over the shy Su Zixi. The man confessed before the film ended shooting that he was a fan of hers and asked for her autograph. After receiving it, he even posted a picture of it on his Weibo account, drawing in tens of thousands of fans to like and push him up to a higher count of followers.
"Good evening, Goddess Ran!"
Su Zixi didn't change his way of calling Ran Xueyi, even though the latter had already told him to call her casually. The young man did not have his usual youthful and innocent aura around him anymore. Rather, he looked more mature and handsome now as if he was one of those veteran actors in their thirties and forties.
"Director Sun is still not ready. I bet he's trying to fit into his suit for the interview!"
"I've never seen Director Sun wearing a business suit since we worked with him, I wonder how he would look when he wore one."
"Even after shooting, you two still didn't learn how to respect your elders."
A stout-looking man in a business suit walked towards their direction. Director Sun scowled at Su Zixi and Miao Li, who grinned at him. Obviously the two didn't seem affected by his reproach. He already got used to them making fun of him and was not bothered by it. He turned to look at Ran Xueyi and praised her beauty.
The production team called out for them to come out to the stage. As soon as the main cast of the film <The Invitation> came out from backstage, fans who received a special ticket to attend the first premiere screamed in excitement. The reporters also didn't get defeated by these fans as they aimed their cameras upright, held onto their pens and notebooks, and eagerly asked questions they had prepared for tonight.
Today's premiere event was definitely not as big as those awarding ceremonies that happen a few months or biannually. However, the number of reporters who came today was almost the same amount as some small awarding ceremonies.
The reason behind the swarm of reporters and media journalists was rather simple and reasonable. The current forefront of the juiciest gossip in the country was Ran Xueyi. They couldn't possibly let go of this opportunity to put her on the hot seat and get answers from her!
Although it was disrespectful for them to come solely for her, the PR team of the film couldn't be even more glad to have them for as long as they could include the film in their reports.
Ran Xueyi also agreed for the film to use her for publicity stunt. It was just the way to boost the popularity of the film, no artist didn't experience being used by the film they represented. Whether they'll be used for a publicity stunt or a black material, in the face of future benefits, no one could refuse it.
Naturally, Ran Xueyi also didn't reject this chance for her own goals.
Since there was no live broadcast tonight, the fans who were present that day were lucky to see the celebrities they idolized.
The host for the premiere of the show welcomed the main cast of the film along with the directors and producers. One by one, the main cast introduced themselves before sitting on a stool prepared by the production team.
Turning towards the superstars sitting beside him, the host nodded at all of them before turning his attention to Su Zixi, "Mr. Su, your role in the film is a policeman. I heard that you trained with real police officers before you came out to shoot your scenes. Did you face some difficulties when training?"
"I definitely faced some difficulties. Before, I admired the police officers who aimed to protect our people and country, but I was never exposed to the way they trained and only knew little about them. Joining them for their training and learning more about them opened up my views and discovered that it was truly hard to maintain good order."
Su Zixi answered the question without filtering his words or making up lies to make it look like he had it easy to make his fans like him more.
"Then, would you prefer to become a policeman if you didn't become an actor?" The questions were slightly tricky. The host absolutely knew that it was a question that was hard to respond correctly.
If he didn't say he didn't want to become a policeman, his anti-fans will definitely use this to make him look pompous and dishonorable to his country and to the other police officers. If he agreed to say he wanted to become a policeman, they would still accuse him in some other way.
Su Zixi contemplated and knew that the host was only doing his job. He turned to the camera and smiled sincerely. "I would definitely choose to serve the country. Unfortunately, before becoming an actor, I graduated from a culinary university. I can only buy a small shop and cook inside the kitchen while serving my customers with my food if I didn't become an actor."
His resume and biography was not hidden to the world. No one can deny that Su Zixi would have become a chef had he not been scouted by an entertainment scout.
