Chapter 966 Red Carpet
Jiang Chen asked the staff for directions and walked to the crew, but just as he walked to the junction leading to the dressing room, two security guards stopped him.
“Sorry, sir, this isn’t open to tourists.”
After the bodyguard translated the words of the two security guards to Jiang Chen, Jiang Chen frowned and replied in English, “I am not a tourist. Someone invited me—”
“Sorry.” The security guards stood firm like two towers and used an irrefutable tone.
Is the security level this high at a normal premiere?
Just when Jiang Chen thought to call Liu Yao, he saw an acquaintance coming out from inside.
When Chen Yuqing saw the person, her eyes lit up and she immediately greeted him.
“You’re finally here. Yao has been waiting for you for a long time.” She eyed Jiang Chen and talked with the two security guards in English, then while giggling, she pulled him in. “Come with me.”
The two bodyguards were left outside, and Jiang Chen went to Liu Yao’s dressing room with Chen Yuqing.
“Don’t be too surprised,” she said to Jiang Chen jokingly. She reached out and pushed open the door.
The door to the dressing room opened.
Looking at Liu Yao, who was standing in front of the mirror, Jiang Chen actually had an illusion of not knowing her.
OWS we
Her two eyebrows were long and picturesque, her eyes were twinkling like stars, her black hair, like a waterfall, poured down. In an elegant evening gown that perfectly outlined her good figure, she was enchanting and dignified. Sure enough, beauty certainly depended on attire. It was the first time Jiang Chen felt she looked better with clothes than without…
Her beautiful eyes bloomed with joy when her eyes met his eyes.
She grabbed Jiang Chen’s arm, restrained the urge to pounce on him and pouted.
“You’re finally here. I thought you forgot me
again.”
“What do you mean again? I haven’t forgotten you at all.” Jiang Chen laughed.
He spoke, reached out and touched her hair gently, and said sincerely, “You’re beautiful today.”
“Hehe.”
Liu Yao smiled happily, didn’t speak any further, and accepted his compliments happily.
“Don’t mess up your makeup. There are five minutes until you have to walk the red carpet; there’s no time to do your makeup again.” Chen Yuqing made fun of the pair.
Liu Yao’s face turned red and she rolled her eyes at her best friend.
“I’m not going to do anything. How could I mess up my makeup?”
“That’s what I like to hear.”
With a smirk, Chen Yuqing left the dressing room and carefully closed the door for the two of them. She guarded the door for them in case someone wanted to intrude on their private space.
Although the theater strengthened their security, it was difficult to ensure that no paparazzi snuck in. It was okay if the crew saw them, but if they were caught by those troublesome paparazzi, it would be big news.
“Three-body” had just been released overseas. If news of female lead female having an affair with the biggest investor leaked to the public, it would certainly affect the box office.
They didn’t stay in the dressing room for too long, Jiang Chen came out two minutes ahead of Liu Yao. Director Wu Hao heard Jiang Chen came personally and immediately rushed over. He first shook Jiang Chen’s hands, exchanged a few words and issued him a movie ticket and a special guest pass.

With this pass, he could freely enter and leave the crew’s work area without worrying about being blocked by security.
Under the guidance of the assistant director, Xiao Zhang, Jiang Chen entered the VIP passage and went to the red carpet.
The red carpet had always been the finale of the premiere. Most cameras gathered there along with fanatical fans. Generally speaking, at a premiere, there would always be a few guests who couldn’t be present for personal reasons. At that time, in order to ensure the venue was full, the organizers would randomly distribute “temporary tickets” to the fans at the scene.
However, such an opportunity was rare unless the movie was too bad or the organizer messed up. A maximum of three or four temporary tickets would be added at the premiere, and this was also the reason for the fans’ enthusiasm. The closer they were to the red carpet, the higher their chances of getting a temporary ticket.
Of course, the caveat was that they couldn’t be too close or they would be tossed out by the security guards.
On the red carpet, the participants were being interviewed by the media.
Actors and actresses who weren’t famous rarely had the opportunity to walk the red carpet. During this moment of glory, they even wished to stay on the carpet.
Liu Yao swayed her long hair and confidently stepped forward in her high-heels. The goddess walked quickly across the red carpet, ignoring the reporters’ request for a photo, giving all the lenses a confident silhouette.
Passing through the red carpet, she arrived at the interview area, and after the group members took photos in front of the camera, they were interviewed by reporters in twos and threes. In the film, she played Master Ye. The storyline of “The Three-Body Problem” narrated her life, and the media was also devoted to her with considerable enthusiasm, which made all the others envious.
Without bringing a bodyguard, Jiang Chen sat alone in the corner of the VIP lounge, waiting for Liu Yao.
Just then, a woman in high heels walked to him and smiled.
“Is there someone sitting next to you?”
The faint smell of perfume floated along with her melodious voice. Jiang Chen raised his head slightly and said, “No one’s sitting here. Do you need anything?”
The woman smiled and sat next to him, putting on lipstick and pulling out a photo of himself from the bag.
“Nothing; just wanted a signature from my
idol.”
“Idol?”
“In four years, you went from nothing to being the richest man in the world. Your life experience could be written in a book.” The woman with bright, gorgeous eyes gazed at Jiang Chen. “Can give me a chance to know more about you?”
Jiang Chen smiled and teased.
“Of course, when I’m old, I might be able to write a biography if I have nothing to do.”
Amused by Jiang Chen’s words, the woman giggled.
Jiang Chen took the photo and pen from her hands, signed his name, gave it back to her, and joked: “The signature you wanted.”
“This is my gift.” The woman took a photo from her bag again and signed her name with the lipstick.
However, she didn’t immediately give it to Jiang Chen. With a mysterious smile, she kissed the photo, leaving a seductive lip print.
“Bye-bye.” She handed the photo to Jiang Chen, got up and left.
Jiang Chen examined the photo and identified her name from the signature.
“Tang Yan?”
Although “The Three-Body Problem” changed the special effects team and director, most of the actors and actresses remained the same. In Jiang Chen’s memory, Tang Yan’s role was Shen Yufei, a Japanese-born, cold but pristine female scientist.
Turning to the back of the photo, where she left the lip print, there was a phone number and her temporary address in Yoto.
“Glasley Hotel, 1101?”
Shaking his head with a smile, Jiang Chen put the photo into his suit and threw it into the storage dimension.
“What are you laughing at?”
After the interview, Liu Yao came to the VIP lounge.
“Nothing. Just encountered something interesting.” Jiang Chen smiled. “Right, how’s your relationship with other people on the
crew?”
“Other people?” Liu Yao tilted her head. “We’ve been pretty good.”
“What about Tang Yan?”
Liu Yao looked at Jiang Chen suspiciously, and her expression changed suddenly. She sat beside Jiang Chen. With a begging look, she grabbed his hand and whispered. “You…you want her? She’s a good friend of mine. Can you go for someone else…”
“What are you even thinking?” Jiang Chen reached out and tapped on her head. He watched Liu Yao covering her head and hiding from him. “Am I the kind of person who will go for your friend?”
A bright smile appeared on her face, and she pecked his cheek.
“You’re the best!”
Touching the lip print on his face, Jiang Chen teased her. “Are you not afraid of ruining your makeup now?”
“Not afraid! I’ve already finished my interview!” Liu Yao said gently as she took Jiang Chen’s arm.
A good friend?
The entertainment industry is certainly entertaining
However, Jiang Chen didn’t point this out to her. Some things were just better kept a secret.
