Seeing everyone’s gaze fixed on Qianxun, filled with nothing but admiration, Wen Jing’s expression turned rather unsightly.
Luckily, she managed to control her expression in time, forcing a faint smile as she waited to take questions from reporters.
However, what Wen Jing had not anticipated was that once the questioning segment started, everyone swarmed Qianxun and Liang Chu with microphones, barely asking her anything!
She was also one of the lead actors, wasn’t she?
It was all Su Qianxun’s fault! If it weren’t for her seductive, fox-like appearance, would all the men at the event be gawking at her?
Qianxun was still unaware of Wen Jing’s thoughts.
Even if she were aware, she wouldn’t care.
However, many film critics and journalists from major media outlets were present at the event, so after she answered two questions, she naturally steered the conversation toward Wen Jing and Liang Chu.
It wasn’t that Qianxun intentionally wanted to help Wen Jing; she simply didn’t want to answer those mundane questions.
But in the eyes of the entertainment reporters and Director Zhang, Qianxun’s actions appeared differently.
If it were any other actor, they would surely have hated nothing more than to be bombarded with questions from reporters, as it would generate more buzzworthy topics to write about. But Qianxun? She persistently diverted the topic to others, never fighting for attention!
Just for her nonchalant demeanor, people couldn’t help but feel a greater sense of affinity toward her.
However, Wen Jing was not grateful at all.
In her eyes, by directing the conversation to her when no reporters were asking her questions, wasn’t Qianxun deliberately humiliating her?
But she couldn’t just refuse to answer! After all, Painted Skin was her only major film production this year, and she had to secure her status no matter what!
Following the Q&A session was the performance segment. Qianxun hadn’t intended to continue participating, but since everyone was still there, it wouldn’t look good for her to leave early. Thus, at Ruan Mianmian’s suggestion, she took the initiative to go on stage and sing a song.
Upon hearing that Qianxun was going to sing, the host’s eyes immediately lit up.
"...Now, please welcome our Painted Skin leading lady, Qianxun, to bring us a melodious song!"
Qianxun took the microphone with an indifferent expression. As the music of "Gui Quxi" began, her face transformed, and she started singing with a slightly melancholic expression.
The ancient-style song matched her cheongsam outfit for the day quite well, and so the audience quickly immersed themselves in her singing.
The song ended, and amid the resounding applause, Qianxun stepped down from the stage with a smile, "Thank you, everyone!"
After reaching the floor, she sat down for a few more minutes then said quietly to Director Zhang, "Director Zhang, I have something else to attend to and must leave now."
Qianxun’s performance today had greatly satisfied Director Zhang, so upon hearing this, he readily replied, "Sure, be careful on your way!"
"Thank you, Director Zhang, goodbye!" Check latest chapters at novｅlfire.net
With that, she exchanged greetings with Liang Chu, Wen Jing, and the others.
Liang Chu reciprocated Qianxun’s smile with a nod, reminding her to be careful on her way, while Wen Jing merely glanced at her coldly without even a nod of acknowledgment.
Qianxun didn’t feel awkward about it—she left gracefully in her high heels.
There was nothing left for her to do anyway. In this cold weather, it was best to hurry back and snuggle in Yanzhi’s warm bed!
On the day of the premiere, several well-known film critics’ reviews were published in magazines and newspapers.
Among them, the role of Xiao Qian, played by Qianxun, received the most commentary.
"...The character of Xiao Qian in the drama is an innocent yet seductive woman, a combination rarely embodied by actresses in the industry. But sixteen-year-old Su Qianxun gave me an immense surprise. Her portrayal was simply perfect! I am not exaggerating. If there truly were fox demons who could take human form, none could rival Su Qianxun in beauty and charm! Painted Skin is worth the price of a movie ticket!"
