The next day, Lilia arrived at the film studio at eight in the morning. She was accompanied by Harold and Merry, who had recovered from a stomach ache.
As they walked into the studio building, Harold's gaze remained fixed on the screen of his cellphone. The man snorted and said, "I really want to know where this journalist got his information. Shirley's post also exacerbates this situation."
Last night, people supporting Lilia and William as a couple made a big fuss on the internet. Harold had ordered Aphrodite Agency's public relations division to remove Lilia's name from the news list that was currently viral, but his efforts were in vain. Their fans continued to discuss the couple and made their names go viral.
On the other hand, Harold also felt frustrated that he couldn't do anything about Shirley's post. The woman didn't name anyone specifically, so Harold couldn't blame her. But he knew that Shirley had also been stirring up the topic of Lilia and William.
Lilia thought about it for a moment before saying, "I'm sure there is someone here who is deliberately trying to pair William with me. Everyone involved in the making of this film knows that I came here to shoot. It shouldn't be difficult for them to find out information about me. "
She just found out about the news that rocked the internet this morning. Lilia was so busy reading the script and practicing her acting overnight that she didn't even touch her cell phone. When she read the news, Lilia already had a guess who did it. But she needed time to determine whether her guess was right on target.
"What is their purpose in doing this?" Harold was still grumbling at length, "Do they want to promote this film? Could it be Louis who did that on purpose?!" His voice rose as he said that last sentence.
Lilia couldn't blame Harold for thinking that. The news had indeed made this new film even more famous. The person who benefited the most from this was Louis.
"I'm sure Louis didn't do it." Even so, Lilia still rejected that possibility. She continued confidently, "If Louis wanted to promote his film, he would definitely use a smarter way than this. Besides, the couple that he should be promoting are Shirley and Edward, the two main characters of this film."
"... You've got a point there." Harold muttered reluctantly.
"Regarding their goals, I suspect that the culprit might have some other bigger goal or simply want to cause trouble for me." Lilia said calmly.
She shrugged with an indifferent expression, as if she was not the one who had been affected by this incident.
"After all, if they really were after me, I'm sure they wouldn't stay silent. We just have to see what action they will take."
Harold looked at Lilia with his mouth open. Where did Lilia learn all this from? She sounded like a young detective under a beautiful woman's skin!
Suddenly, Harold's cell phone rang. He lowered his head and read the name on the screen. The person calling him was Joe, head of the public relations division. Harold broke away from Lilia and Merry. He looked for an empty corner to pick up the phone.
"What's wrong? Did you find something?" Harold asked impatiently as soon as the phone connected.
Joe was briefly stunned, but he didn't comment on Harold's impatience, "The news was spread by a group of veteran paparazzi. According to the information I found, someone deliberately leaked the names of Lilia and William to the paparazzi group. Looks like that person intends to bring up their past." Joe reported.
"These damn people!" Harold took out all kinds of expletives he knew of, "How dare they cause trouble for my artist?!"
Joe just laughed at the anger in Harold's voice, "I know you're upset, but control yourself. We all didn't expect that such simple information could cause such a stir."
Joe tried to calm Lilia's manager.
"There is still something you can be grateful for from this incident. Now the number of fans who idolize Lilia and William as a couple soars on the internet. They are very supportive and looking forward to the release of this film. If I were in the position of director, I might cry with joy." Joe said with a chuckle.
Harold frowned upon hearing that, but he didn't say anything. His head still felt hot every time he remembered the embarrassing news. Lilia and William broke up several years ago. He was irritated by the fans who didn't know how heartbroken Lilia was and still had the nerve to encourage her to come back with that jerk.
*****
When the opening ceremony was about to start, Lilia was asked to wear the riding outfit she wore yesterday. The ceremony was held in a room decorated like the throne room of ancient kings. The grandeur of the room made their opening ceremony even more impressive.
Apart from the main cast, there would be more than twenty supporting actors who would also participate in this ceremony. Louis led them all to pray according to their respective beliefs, then he announced the start of shooting the film.
At about the same time, the official website for the film 'The Chosen Kingdom' posted an announcement consisting of the names of the main characters. The announcement immediately caught the attention of the actor and actress's fans. Not only that, fans supporting Lilia and William as a couple also commented excitedly.
[User5512]: "They really look good together! I can't wait to see their movie!"
[User2083]: "@Lilia, my goddess, my true love, please stay away from that cunning man, okay?"
After the opening ceremony ended, the actors and actresses who joined the cast also started promoting the film on their accounts. Lilia also did the same.
But this action actually made all her fans cry bitterly. Why would she want to be in the same film as William Anggara?! He was the most rotten and lowly man stupid enough to dump you! All of Lilia's fans were really hurt by the announcement.
*****
Lilia and Merry returned to their private dressing room after the ceremony. Lilia's assistant immediately poured warm water for the model. She handed it over in a whisper, "Sister Lilia, I really hate Shirley!"
For Merry, the woman was a two-faced sycophant. She might speak sweetly in front of everyone, but Shirley wouldn't hesitate to stab anyone in the back. No wonder there were so many negative rumors about the woman!
Lilia laughed when she saw Merry's serious expression. This was the first time that the young woman had shown such great dislike for someone.
"Why don't you like her?" Lilia asked after her laughter died down.
Merry looked worriedly at Lilia. She felt a little relieved when the woman's face didn't show her feelings at all.
Merry scratched her cheek before answering, "I just don't like her. That woman is too arrogant and cunning. I think she is not a good person!"
Lilia smiled slightly while looking at her assistant. When compared together, Merry's personality was the opposite of Shirley's. That Lilia assistant was the type to be frank, completely different from that actress.
Lilia's smile slowly faded as she sighed. The thought of her having to film with Shirley for more than a month made her feel discouraged. She could already imagine what kind of trouble that woman would cause for her.. Lilia intended to shut up first and see what Shirley was up to before stopping the woman.
