Chapter 580: What’s a Star, He is the Father of Star-Making
The Venice International Film Festival, closing red carpet.As one of the most renowned film festivals in the world, the red carpet was glittering with stars. Media reporters packed both sides, their cameras clicking incessantly, capturing every move of the celebrities. Each time a star appeared, it triggered waves of screams.
Zimei wasn’t particularly interested in celebrities. Standing amidst the crowd, her eyes remained fixed on the other end of the red carpet, waiting for the figure she had been longing to see.
"Zhao Shu, Zhao Shu, you’re our pride! Suxintang will always support you!"
"Huo Qihang is the most handsome!"
"National first love, Huo Qihang, I love you!"
The domestic fans crowding around the red carpet suddenly erupted into deafening cheers, waving support banners wildly and screaming uncontrollably.
Zhao Shu and Huo Qihang were A Cheng’s top-tier stars, both nominated for this year’s Venice Film Festival with their performances in the film "Shadow." They were contenders for the Best Actor and Best Actress awards, respectively.
Walking between the two on the red carpet was none other than their agent, Ye Cheng.
Ye Cheng wore a black suit adorned with subtle silver patterns. The custom-fitted outfit accentuated his impeccably perfect physique, his long legs exuding a stunning allure. His short hair was meticulously styled without a strand out of place. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on NoveI★Fire.net
Standing beside the national first love, Huo Qihang, Ye Cheng didn’t appear the least bit overshadowed. In fact, he exuded a more mature and polished charm.
Zhao Shu held onto Ye Cheng’s arm, walking down the red carpet while smiling and speaking to him.
Ye Cheng nodded occasionally. As always, he maintained that restrained, aloof demeanor, yet carried an intoxicating magnetism.
"Who’s the man Zhao Shu’s holding onto? I haven’t seen him before. He’s ridiculously handsome!"
"And you call yourself a Suxintang fan? How do you not know this?"
"Stop dangling it in front of me! Just tell me already!"
"He’s the most renowned gold-tier agent, Ye Cheng. He’s someone our Zhao Shu reveres like an older brother."
"With such a stunning face, it’s such a pity he’s just an agent."
"What do you know? Agents are the true winners. Ye Cheng represents two Best Actresses and three Best Actors. His status in the entertainment circle is practically kingly! Stars are nothing; he’s the father of star-making!"
Two young girls beside Zimei chattered fervently, discussing Ye Cheng on the red carpet.
Although seeing Zhao Shu clinging to Ye Cheng’s arm triggered a twinge of jealousy, hearing strangers showering Ye Cheng with praises made an involuntary smile curve Zimei’s lips.
The man she loved, of course, had to be the most dazzling one in the crowd.
At this moment, watching Ye Cheng walking down an international awards red carpet with the artists he personally cultivated, her heart was brimming with indescribable pride and joy!
Midway down the red carpet, Ye Cheng suddenly glanced toward the crowd of fans jostling ahead.
He seemed to catch a fleeting glimpse of a familiar figure. Was it an illusion?
"Brother Zheng, let’s go. We need to head for the signing wall," Zhao Shu called to him.
Ye Cheng withdrew his gaze and proceeded toward the signing wall.
Zimei had already stepped out of the crowd. Staring at the foreign streets before her, she found herself in an unexpectedly strange mood.
She had fallen for an extraordinary man.
A Cheng, we’ll meet again in Rongcheng!
...
Gu Moqian was always swift and decisive in his actions. By the second day after the incident had escalated, all the online media outlets that had spread the reports received legal notices. They were sued for malicious defamation, and the involved party explicitly refused any private settlements—the case had to go to court!
None of them were fools. When they saw that the case was being handled by Mr. Gu’s trusted lawyers, every single one of them couldn’t help but shudder.
Within half a day of the legal notices being issued, every single article about the incident was removed from the internet. Even searching for keywords yielded no trace of the past reports.
Zhu Jianian was transferred to D City Prison the day after she was taken home from the hospital.
The prison was several hundred kilometers away from Rongcheng, in an extremely remote location, making visitation exceedingly inconvenient.
Furthermore, given that Zhu Jianian had previously attempted to escape and spread false statements in front of the media and the public, her actions were deemed particularly egregious, and her chances for sentence reduction during her incarceration were revoked.
