Chapter 46 Stunning the Audience
Liu Jialing was somewhat unhappy with how Liang Chaowei was addressed.
I used to find him quite agreeable, and that's what he always called himself.
But now she feels a little tired of it.
However, she kept these emotions to herself and said without changing her expression:
"It's a man. My brother and Manyu should know him too. He's Tang Long, the screenwriter and male lead of 'The Blade'."
"Tang Long?"
Before Zhang Guorong and Zhang Manyu could speak, Zhang Xueyou exclaimed in surprise.
"You know Ah Long too, fellow snowman?"
"Ah Long? Jialing, are you and Tang Long very familiar?" Liang Chaowei couldn't help but interject.
"We're very familiar with each other. Would he have designed this dress for me if we weren't?"
Liu Jialing's smile faded, and she looked at Liang Chaowei with a serious expression.
Her expression and tone, combined with the "Eastern Auspicious Clouds" dragon robe she wore, gave her an imposing aura.
Liang Chaowei was speechless for a moment.
This young age felt somewhat unfamiliar to him.
Zhang Guorong sensed the awkward atmosphere and quickly interrupted:
"I never expected Ah Long to be so talented. Not only can he write scripts, but he can also design clothes, and he designs them so well."
Actually, he and Tang Long weren't very familiar with each other; they didn't have much interaction when filming "A Chinese Ghost Story 2".
"Yes, yes, I'll have him design an outfit for me next time I attend an awards ceremony."
Zhang Xueyou and Tang Long have a good relationship. Since the release of "The Blade", the two have been in frequent contact.
It's not that he's materialistic; he's still a stuntman, so it's hard for them to get along and they won't have anything in common.
Although Zhang Manyu didn't speak, her eyes were full of amazement and envy as she looked at Liu Jialing.
She never expected Tang Long to have this trick up his sleeve.
But based on her woman's intuition, she was certain that Tang Long and Liu Jialing were having an affair.
On the other side, Deng Guangrong, with his slicked-back hair and imposing manner, sat quietly in the back, but his eyes kept glancing at Liu Jialing out of the corner of his eye.
If you look closely, you can see that his face is still a bit pale, which means he was probably discharged from the hospital not long ago.
"It's our turn to step in."
Wang Jiawei received the notification and interrupted their conversation.
The film crew's van slowly pulled up at the red carpet entrance of the Hong Kong Cultural Centre shortly afterward.
The first person to get off the bus was Deng Guangrong. After getting off, he looked around and then took two steps forward.
Then, Wang Jiawei, Zhang Guorong, Liu Dehua, Zhang Xueyou, and others wearing sunglasses got off the car one by one.
There are no paid promoters yet; the red carpet is a very direct way to test an artist's popularity.
Each time these people got off the bus, it elicited cheers from the crowd.
At this point, media reporters no longer hesitated to use their film, pressing the shutter incessantly, causing the camera to flash continuously.
Liu Jialing was the last to get off the bus. Everyone knew that she would definitely be the center of attention because of her outfit.
Therefore, everyone was willing to do her a favor and let her appear last, stunning the entire audience.
As Liu Jialing appeared before everyone, the scene fell silent, and the flashes stopped.
"Damn it, is that Liu Jialing?"
"It's her."
"Is she wearing a dragon robe?"
"Right? Not only are there dragons, but also phoenixes."
"Is she really that sharp?!"
"Her aura is so cool! I declare that I will be her fan for ten years from now on."
……
As the cast and crew of "Days of Being Wild" began to walk the red carpet, the cheers were louder than ever before, and photographers kept snapping pictures of Liu Jialing.
The "Eastern Auspicious Clouds" dragon robe, embroidered with dragons, phoenixes, and auspicious clouds on bright yellow silk, exudes an imposing aura.
When Fan Bingbing wore this outfit on the red carpet at the 63rd Cannes Film Festival in 2010, she immediately became the focus of attention, causing a sensation both at home and abroad.
The dress that followed is now part of the permanent collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum in the UK.
The "Auspicious Clouds of the East" dragon robe, now worn by Liu Jialing, caused quite a stir at the scene.
At the very front were Deng Guangrong with his slicked-back hair and Wang Jiawei, a man in sunglasses, and at the very back were Zhang Guorong and three others.
In the middle is Liu Jialing, and Zhang Manyu is a little behind her.
The photographer from Oriental Daily News was immediately struck by the incredible scene and snapped a picture.
He looked back at the photo and couldn't help but marvel.
"What's wrong?" asked a reporter accompanying the group.
"Look, is it good enough to be on the front page of tomorrow's newspaper?"
The reporter went over for a look and couldn't help but shake his head in amazement, then gave the photographer a thumbs up:
"Amazing, this is definitely enough for the front page. I've even thought of a headline: 'The Queen's Tour!'"
Two in front and four in the back, all dressed in identical black suits, Deng Guangrong and his men looked exactly like a queen's bodyguards.
"Not only that, don't you think Zhang Manyu looks like a maid?"
"Haha, that's true. She probably didn't even realize it herself. When the photos are published, they'll generate even more buzz."
……
At this time, Liu Jialing was naturally unaware that the Oriental Daily was planning to use her as the front page for publicity.
She was enjoying the cheers from the crowd.
She was a little nervous at first, after all, it was the first time she had become the focus of attention, especially since she was surrounded by celebrities with greater status and fame than herself.
But the nervousness quickly disappeared, and she felt as if she was born for the lights and the red carpet.
The feeling of being the center of attention sent a shiver down her spine.
This feeling was all too familiar; Tang Long had given it to her more than once.
She always enjoys it, and she does now.
As she became more confident and poised, her aura grew increasingly powerful.
This short 100-meter red carpet almost became her personal show.
She overshadowed Zhang Guorong, Liu Dehua, and others.
Liu Jialing felt that this was the most enjoyable and satisfying 100 meters she had ever walked, and she was still somewhat reluctant to leave even after entering the venue.
However, she quickly became the focus of attention again.
The audience had changed to a group of industry stars and celebrities. As a newcomer to film, she still felt a lot of pressure from their attention.
She looked around before spotting Tang Long waving at her from a corner.
Liu Jialing's nervousness vanished instantly, and a confident and elegant smile returned to her face.
All of this was observed by Liang Chaowei, who had been watching her closely, and a hint of jealousy lingered in his eyes as he looked at Tang Long.
Tang Long was completely oblivious to this. Judging from Liu Jialing's expression and aura, the effect of the red carpet outside must have been quite good.
"Is that Liu Jialing?" Liu Qingyun was dumbfounded and nudged Tang Long next to her.
"It's her."
"I thought I was seeing things. Where did she get this outfit? She looks like a completely different person."
"Just ask her later, and you'll find out."
Seeing that Tang Long showed no surprise and even had a smile on his face, Liu Qingyun clearly knew the inside story.
He was about to ask a question when he was suddenly interrupted by Tang Jia, who had just returned from socializing.
"Ah Long, come on, I'll take you to meet someone."
After he finished speaking, he turned around, and Tang Long immediately got up and followed him.
Liu Qingyun watched their retreating figures with a touch of envy; he also wished he had an uncle like that.
"Uncle, who are we going to see?"
This was the first time Tang Jia had introduced someone to him in such a formal manner.
"Deng Guangrong!"
