Back in China, it was already past midnight and yet more and more people were foregoing sleep to tune in to the livestream of the Sommet International Film Festival’s opening night. Around half of the original 200 viewers of the livestream were made up of the Black Stars. Some of them were assigned to watch the red carpet event’s livestream right from the beginning and then alert the other Black Stars once the casts and crews of the participating films started arriving.
Most of the Black Stars weren’t very interested in watching the entire red carpet event. After all, they only cared about their Boss Iris.
For now, it was mostly the special guests who were arriving first on the red carpet. They knew that their Boss Iris wouldn’t arrive until much later because her assistant and manager were posting live updates on her social media pages. The two wrote that she had just finished getting ready, and that they had only just left on their way to the venue.
They also posted teasers of her dress, not revealing her appearance yet in the photos. Her full look would only be revealed once she walked down the red carpet later tonight. But even though it was only a close up of the dress’ fabric, the Black Stars already knew that their Boss Iris would look beautiful and glamorous. She always did. The Black Stars believed that even if she had to wear a sack of rice, she would still work it like a queen and look fabulous as always.
The rest of the Black Stars originally planned on watching the livestream not until much later, but they tuned in earlier than expected even when their boss hadn’t appeared yet. It was because their comrades alerted them that their boss’ mother, Wei Lan, had suddenly become a Spanish viscountess! They all wanted to see with their own eyes if it was really true.
Word of mouth about Wei Lan’s appearance as a special guest on the film festival’s red carpet soon spread. When photos of Iris Long and her mother shopping together in France were published online, people thought that Wei Lan was only able to attend because of her daughter. However, she just walked on the red carpet without her daughter. It seemed that she received a special invitation from the organizers themselves and not just as a tag along to her daughter.
The livestream’s view count kept on increasing by the minute. At the moment, it had already reached more than 150,000 and the numbers was still growing. It didn’t matter that it was already very late at night. Everyone was curious about Wei Lan, perhaps even more so than her daughter’s participation in the film festival.
It wasn’t only the Black Stars who were contributing to the increasing view count. The showbiz industry, especially the entertainment news media outlets, were also watching.
Of course, the news also reached the higher-ups of Bright Summit Entertainment Company. They immediately called Tang Yiyi who accompanied Iris Long to France. Tang Yiyi confirmed that Iris’ mother, Wei Lan, had indeed become a Spanish viscountess.
