“I’m about to attend the award ceremony. I’ll tell you when 1 get back!” Lu Zhen, who was a little embarrassed, finally found an excuse. She hurriedly replied to Song Jia and closed her cell phone. She walked to the door and smiled warmly at Xi De, who was wearing a dark suit. “Long time no see.”
The two of them had indeed not seen each other for a long time. Xi De sized up Lu Zhen. Lu Zhen seemed to have undergone some profound changes. Although he could not tell what had changed, Lu Zhen’s smile seemed to be even more relaxed and bright than before.
Xi De reached out like a gentleman and smiled at Lu Zhen. “If you’re ready, then let’s go.”
Lu Zhen held Xi De’s arm and the two of them kept a perfect distance. At the end of the red carpet, Lu Zhen saw that there were already many people gathered in front.
At the entrance of the award ceremony hall, entertainment reporters carried huge cameras and stood on both sides of the red carpet. They used high-definition cameras to capture the beauty and flaws of every celebrity.
For netizens, they liked to see beautiful things and also liked to see celebrities with flaws.
For example, someone had become bloated recently. Her eyeliner was smudged, and her foundation was mottled.
If they were celebrities with fewer flaws, the netizens would praise them for being “in good condition” and “on camera.” If a celebrity’s problem was more obvious, netizens might criticize him for “lacking in image management” and “excessive publicity for his beauty.”
The short red carpet was actually quite dangerous for celebrities. Not only did they have to not make any mistakes, but they also had to suppress others as much as possible.
“Xu Rui and Wu Dai are over there,” Xi De, who was standing beside Lu Zhen, suddenly said in a low voice.
Lu Zhen turned around and saw Xu Rui and Wu Dai standing not far in front of them. The two of them were outstanding in appearance. The man was tall and handsome, and the woman was beautiful and gentle. When they stood together, it was very pleasing to the eye.
Xu Rui, who was standing beside Wu Dai, seemed to have telepathy. She suddenly turned to look at Lu Zhen and Xi De. The corners of Xu Rui’s mouth curled up slightly. It was so small that it was almost impossible to tell that it was a smile. Instead, it seemed a little cold and mean.
Lu Zhen pursed her lips and looked away.
“Why don’t we wait for a while before we go over?” Xi De asked considerately.
The four of them were actors from the same movie crew. Moreover, in the movie, Lu Zhen and Wu Dai were actually the male and female leads, while Xu Rui was the second female lead and Xi De was the second male lead. Logically speaking, Lu Zhen and Wu Dai should have appeared together, but at this moment, Xu Rui was standing beside Wu Dai.
If the four of them walked onto the red carpet one after another, it would be easier for the audience to associate them.
Lu Zhen smiled faintly. “It’s fine. I have scenes with you in the movie. Isn’t it normal to appear with you?”
In the movie, the second female lead, Fang Yuan, and the second male lead, Zheng De, did not have many scenes that worked together. Therefore, it was actually quite reasonable for Lu Zhen and Xi De to appear on the red carpet together.
Hearing Lu Zhen’s words, Xi De smiled and nodded. “That’s true. There’s nothing to worry about. Let’s go.”
Not far ahead, when Wu Dai and Xu Rui appeared, they attracted the attention of many entertainment reporters.
Wu Dai was a very popular idol of the new generation, while Xu Rui was a newbie who had just made her mark in the entertainment industry. As soon as this pair appeared, everyone felt the vigor and vitality of the entertainment industry.
The camera was focused on Wu Dai and Xu Rui. Wu Dai’s hand was gently placed on Xu Rui’s waist, and Xu Rui’s hand was on Wu Dai’s shoulder. She smiled brightly, and the two of them moved intimately and naturally.
The netizens watching the live broadcast of the red carpet sighed. “They look really compatible! The two of them seem to be a couple in the movie.”
“I’ve seen the original novel ‘Beauty. The female lead is Yue Qin, but the female lead and male lead weren’t together in the end. Xu Rui was the second female lead in the movie.’
“Ah? Is that so? It’s a pity that the male lead and female lead can’t be together.
Then why didn’t Lu Zhen and Wu Dai walk the red carpet together in reality? At least make up for the lack in the movie.”
“l don’t know. I heard that Wu Dai and Xu Rui have a good relationship. The two of them often post comments and interact under each other’s posts, but Wu Dai and Lu Zhen have never interacted on social media. Is it because Wu
Dai and Lu Zhen don’t have a good relationship?”
Amidst the audience’s discussion and guesses, Xi De and Lu Zhen quickly walked onto the red carpet.
Xu Rui and Wu Dai’s clothes were more modern, but Xi De and Lu Zhen were dressed more retro and reserved today..
