Chapter 1007: Press release for new movie
Only then did Mo Liuxi’s eyes light up with happiness again. “Actually, you are very young and also pretty. It’s normal for you to be chased by guys. There’s no need to avoid it so much unless you don’t want to experience what it’s like to be courted until you’re in your thirties or forties. Not that that age is no good, but as the saying goes, you’re in your prime now.’
Yan Su was stunned for a little while.
She had never thought about dating again.
Mo Liuxi went on, “I know that you’ve been through a relationship that failed, and perhaps, for the sake of that relationship, you wasted a few years, but you can’t possibly use the remaining years of your prime to memorialize that, too.”
“I met this foreign old granny once. She said that what she regrets most in life is having never loved without a care in the world at least once while she was young. Yan Su, you once left home for the person you loved, you’ve been crazy in love once before, why have you become so scared of it now?”
When Mo Liuxi finished, he took a step back, turned around, and returned to his room.
Yan Su looked at his closed door, dazed.
…
Another week passed.
The country was gradually transitioning into winter, but the weather in Xia City was still warm.
Thursday was the day of the press release for Director An’s new movie.
It had been five years since his last movie, so the release immediately attracted the attention of countless media outlets from all over Xia City.
As the singer, Yan Su also had to go on stage. Early in the morning, she was personally fetched by the nanny van to pick out her clothes. Because it was for an important event, Xiang Wan personally accompanied her as her agent.
“Ms. Xiang, what do you think about this dress in a refreshing blue?” the stylist asked. “This is the latest design by Bottega Veneta.”
Xiang Wan threw a magazine towards her. “Did water get into your brain? Yan Su is just a singer, not the lead actress. If she wears something that eye-catching it’ll look as if she wants to steal Ji Nuanyi’s thunder. Let’s take that black one, it’s low-key but sophisticated.”
When she finished talking, she looked at Yan Su. “What do you think?”
“Hm?” Yan Su bemusedly looked up.
Xiang Wan’s head started to ache. “You have been preoccupied for a while, how can you take part in today’s press release in this state? Have you memorized your responses? You’d better not forget anything when those reporters are interviewing you.”
“I won’t… I was just thinking about some things just now,” Yan Su said with a forced smile.
“After the press release ends, there is an interview. The reporters will definitely ask you about the scandalous photo of you when you were caught with Lu Kang. Be careful not to say too much.”
Xiang Wan reminded her of this repeatedly until she sent Yan Su to the hotel where the press release was being held.
Yan Su was led into the building by the staff. The holding room was a large suite on the top floor. When she entered, there were already more than ten people standing inside. Some of them looked familiar and were already chatting together.
Ye Yunyang walked over to her carrying two glasses of juice. “Have something to drink. It’ll be a while before the press release begins.”
“Thank you, is the main cast all here yet?” Yan Su pretended to be nonchalant while asking the question.
“Yes, they are all upstairs for their individual interviews.” Ye Yunyang smiled.
“Including Shi Yu?” Yan Su was confused. “Isn’t he the third lead?”
“His production team has been promoting this as the keystone project in his transformation, so the media is paying him a lot of attention.” Ye Yunyang shrugged his shoulders. “It must be good to be good-looking and young. You can change your style whenever you want. In my time, everything depended on whether or not you had acting skills.”
Yan Su heard the unhappiness in his words and smiled, saying nothing.
After about ten minutes, Shi Yu, Ji Nuanyi, and Cheng Sheng came down from upstairs.
