My Wife Is a Superstar novel Chapter 928

Chapter 928 Spectacular

At six in the evening, Ning Ran, in the company of Wang Xiaoou, arrived at the entrance of the hotel where the celebratory dinner was held.

Even though the event was a normal celebratory banquet, many of the movie's fans had gathered nearby upon learning of the event.

The sudden influx of people resulted in a traffic jam along the nearby streets.

Under normal circumstances, the production company had to liaise with the local authorities for major events involving their stars. The reason was so that the authorities could make the necessary traffic arrangements to prevent jams and chaos.

However, the company didn't do so this time due to the minor scale of the banquet. Little did they expect a crowd to gather, creating havoc at the scene.

Fortunately, the authorities responded swiftly. They quickly got the situation under control and brought order to the traffic.

Half an hour before the banquet started, Nan Chen announced that he was skipping the event due to an important meeting he had.

From a priority standpoint, Star Entertainment was only one of Nanshi Corporation's entertainment companies, while I Am You was considered one of Star Entertainment's many projects.

Therefore, it wasn't a big deal for the CEO of Nanshi Corporation to miss such an event.

Usually, he would send the deputy CEO or a high-ranking personal assistant to represent him, which was already a reflection of the high regard he held for a particular project.

Nonetheless, many reporters were expecting Nan Chen to be there due to his relationship with Ning Ran.

Now that his absence was announced, many of them were disappointed, as they missed another rare opportunity to take pictures of him.

However, not everyone was upset about it. Huang Zichao, the male lead, was particularly happy with the turn of events.

As the movie mainly revolved around the female lead, Huang Zichao's role in it was limited despite his character being romantically linked to the female lead. Following the movie's success, everyone only remembered Ning Ran's spectacular performance and could barely recall Huang Zichao was in it.

Despite the limited screen time he had in the movie, Huang Zichao's star power was undeniable. The moment he arrived, he attracted the attention of almost all the reporters and guests present.

The event kicked off with the director and producers thanking the crew. Thereafter, the focus of the event shifted to Ning Ran and Huang Zichao.

By the standards of the entertainment industry, Ning Ran was still considered a newcomer, while Huang Zichao—already famous—was naturally considered her senior.

When asked by the reporters what he thought about Ning Ran's performance in the movie, Huang Zichao responded with a single word—spectacular.

The reporter then followed up with a loaded question, “Who do you think is more crucial to the success of the movie? You or Ding Mi?”

Huang Zichao replied without hesitation, “Of course it's her.”

Thereafter, a bespectacled reporter with long hair pressed further. “In that case, do you admit leeching off her success?”

The vicious nature of the question naturally embarrassed Huang Zichao.

Consequently, Ning Ran shot a glare at the reporter when no one was looking.

Ruan Anxi cracked an insidious smile when he caught her gaze.

“I think we feed off each other's success. That said, I'm still grateful to be part of this movie together with Ding Mi. I also look forward to more opportunities for collaboration in the future,” Huang Zichao replied awkwardly.

Thereafter, the host of the event invited the male and female leads for a dance.

Caught by surprise and haven't danced in a long time, Ning Ran was worried that she would make a mistake, giving the reporters a reason to write tabloid trash.

However, since the host had suggested it and Huang Zichao had extended his hand, Ning Ran was left with no choice but to steel herself and play along.

Meanwhile, Ruan Anxi, who was having a good time taking photographs, was upset by the sight of Huang Zichao placing his hand on Ning Ran's hip.

Who gave you the right to dance with her? You are clearly leeching off her glory in the movie. Yet you refuse to admit it?

Hence, Ruan Anxi approached Ning Ran and began taking photos furiously.

While the leads were dancing, it was understood that photographers should keep their distance. However, Ruan Anxi didn't care and moved close to them on purpose.

His proximity triggered Huang Zichao's displeasure. What's wrong with this reporter? Why is he taking photos in our faces?

When Ning Ran gave him a look, Ruan Anxi pretended not to notice.

Thereafter, he stuck out a leg to trip Huang Zichao when the latter wasn't looking.

As a result, Huang Zichao stumbled on his feet and almost fell to the ground, causing the crowd to break out in laughter.

When the dance came to an abrupt end, the embarrassed Huang Zichao tried to maintain a smiling face.

Once Ning Ran left the dancefloor, Wang Xiaoou went up to her and helped her prepare for an upcoming interview.

Such interviews were usually done in their own time under normal circumstances, but this was an exception, as the entertainment magazine was rushing to print.

The reporter then followed up with o looded question, “Who do you think is more cruciol to the success of the movie? You or Ding Mi?”
