Chapter 963 - 961: Obsessive Fan
On the podium, Si Han was originally talking to the actor seated next to her, when she seemed to sense the intense gaze from the audience. She slightly turned her head and accurately caught sight of the Young Master Ji in the seats below, frantically taking photos with his phone like a fan.Si Han didn’t have much of a reaction, she simply smiled and winked at him.
The artist beside her noticed and asked, "Did you bump into someone you know?"
Si Han returned her gaze and shook her head in denial, "No, just an enthusiastic little fan."
The artist beside her was several years older, had been struggling in the entertainment industry for almost a decade, and finally this year, became popular thanks to a film, but the level of fame was naturally incomparable to Si Han.
"Si Han, has anyone ever told you that you really have a knack for winning over audiences?"
This artist said enviously, the number of fans she accumulated over the ten years was not even one-tenth of Si Han’s.
Si Han laughed innocently, "Really? Maybe it’s because I look completely non-threatening?"
Usually, being told you look non-threatening implies you look ordinary.
"Si Han, you’re really good at joking around! Do you know, this year you’re ranked first as the best model for plastic surgery, are you comfortable saying you look non-threatening?"
Strangely, most beautiful actresses find it extremely difficult to gain audience recognition. If they’re too low-profile, they’re labeled as cold and pretentious, but if they’re always in the headlines, they easily cause audience fatigue.
Yet Si Han, although seemingly low-profile, is hailed as a tasteful, low-profile, and skilled artist. Even though she never initiates hype, topics about her periodically cause a huge wave of trending searches.
After being complimented by the other party, Si Han couldn’t remain modest. She just touched her face and mockingly laughed at herself, "Perhaps it’s God’s special favor to feed me."
However, anyone familiar with Si Han knows that she relies not on this face given by God.
After all, no matter how correct the facial features are, looking at them too much becomes tiresome. As an actress or singer, the most important thing is her unique role performances and song interpretations. And Si Han, for this uniqueness, actually devotes much more effort than many artists.
It’s just that others often only see your success; no one sees or cares about the blood and sweat behind your success.
Thinking of this, Si Han couldn’t help but gaze again at the man in the audience.
Luckily, no matter how others ignored, that man sees everything about her. All her efforts, sacrifices, and persistence over the years, he silently observed and supported her unwaveringly, acting as her strongest backbone.
In the audience, Ji Dabao faintly saw her red-rimmed eyes through the zoomed-in lens, feeling a slight tremor in his heart, shifting his gaze from the phone screen to meet Nuonuo’s unabashed gaze.
Even though the distance between them wasn’t too close, Dabao could clearly see her eyes filled with complex and intense emotions.
With Dabao’s understanding of her, his instinct told him she seemed a bit off at this moment.
Dabao’s heart seemed to be gripped harshly, wanting to rush over and ask her what was wrong, but common sense told him that at this moment, he could only be a fervent fan of Si Han.
If he truly rushed up, her identity as the second Miss of the Ji Family, Ji Sihan, would be exposed.
He and his parents weren’t afraid of trouble, just didn’t want her to be crushed under this prominent identity.
The two stared at each other across the distance for a while, the surrounding journalists seemed to have caught onto something, following Si Han’s gaze, searching for her eye focus.
In a moment of desperation, Dabao had a bright idea. He grabbed a sign from the fan group behind him that read "Si Han, I love you!" and shook it vigorously, then mouthed "Be good! Don’t be afraid!"
The deep yet passionate eyes conveyed immeasurable reassurance and tender comfort to Si Han through the air.
Si Han naturally received his message, withdrew her gaze with a smile, and inwardly murmured, "Fool!"
The sensitive journalist, witnessing Dabao’s almost infatuated behavior, was somewhat disappointed. Although this die-hard fan was handsome and stylish, clearly high-class and rich, seeing Si Han’s eye roll suggested she didn’t welcome this obsessive fan.
What kind of beautiful love between a Prince Charming and Cinderella truly only exists in fairy tales, doesn’t it!
After withdrawing her gaze, Si Han focused on the script Si Jun just handed her.
The script contained responses to gossip and such; to Si Han, they were virtually useless, because just last night she had already made a new decision.
At this press conference preemptively promoting the Golden Lion Awards, Si Han, being the hot favorite for Best Actress this year, unsurprisingly became the focal point.
Coupled with her recent achievement at the music awards ceremony where she took home three of the most prestigious annual music awards by herself, everyone was even more eager to see if the newly crowned song queen would also take Best Actress honors a few hours later.
"Si Han, Double-faced Man is your fourth film. Many people may not find their direction after making four films, but you are advancing step by step. Winning the Best Newcomer Award for the first film, receiving considerable acclaim working with Mr. Luo in the second, and for the third, got a Best Actress nomination, although the big award went to someone else. But for you, it was also an affirmation and recognition. Do you think tonight you will redeem yourself and take the Best Actress award?"
The reporter’s words seemed complimentary to Si Han but were actually filled with hidden traps. As long as Si Han isn’t careful, she could fall into the trap of being pitted against other candidates by the last sentence.
Because Fang Wenxi, who won Best Actress last year, is also competing for the Best Actress award this time.
From the audience seats, Si Jun and Dabao, although confident in Si Han, still secretly broke into a cold sweat for her.
Si Han smiled and blinked, the smile on her face remained calm and innocent as before.
"Thanks to Sister for appreciating and acknowledging Si Han; tonight, there are five Best Actress candidates, and Si Han is honored to be one of them. About this, I hold twenty percent confidence. Sister, do you think I calculated the probability correctly?"
The journalist, receiving Si Han’s reply, at the moment couldn’t find a point to refute or continue asking, so she nodded in agreement.
Other journalists glanced at her sympathetically, as if saying, having been in this line for so long, don’t you know Si Han is famously skilled at evasive answers?
In the audience, Dabao secretly exhaled in relief.
Honestly, this was the first time he saw Si Han live using the four-two to lift a thousand pounds method to handle the media; seeing it, he realized why Tian Fang increasingly indulges Si Han.
Because now, Si Han is already an extremely successful and exceptional artist; even without help, she can easily handle most crises.
