He plays Feng Yuxiu, and his girlfriend is a fairy-like beauty.

the other side.

Liu Sishi learned from Lu Yang that Ye Mo was going to postpone joining the crew.

"That kid Ye Mo is going to the premiere of 'Kung Fu Jungle'," Lu Yang said on the phone. "Schedule his filming in the grasslands for two days later."

Liu Sishi said "Oh" in a very flat tone.

After hanging up the phone, she sat on the sofa in her hotel room and stared out the window for a while.

Postponed for two days.

That means that the person I was supposed to see the day after tomorrow will only be able to see the day after that.

She picked up her phone and scrolled to Ye Mo's chat window.

The two have few conversation records; their last chat was a few days ago.

Ye Mo sent a message saying, "See you on the grasslands, Si Shi," and she replied with an "Mm."

Type a few words, then delete them.

I typed a few more words, then deleted them again.

Liu Sishi felt a little ridiculous.

As a top-tier actress, what are you hesitating about when you send a message to a newcomer?

She took a deep breath, typed a few words, and sent them.

"I heard you're coming two days later?"

……

Ye Mo was packing his luggage in the rented room.

The premiere is in Shanghai, I have to fly there tomorrow.

He searched through his entire wardrobe but couldn't find a single outfit suitable for the premiere.

Black T-shirts, jeans, faded hoodies—that's all he wore.

"I need to buy a suit." He was just thinking about it when his phone vibrated.

News about Liu Sishi.

He froze for a moment.

Sishi took the initiative to contact him? That's rare.

"Did Director Lu tell you?" Ye Mo replied, "Yes, there's a premiere here, it'll take two days."

"What movie?" Liu Sishi asked.

"I mentioned 'Kung Fu Jungle' to you before, the one where he played the villain."

"Oh, that Feng Yuxiu, I saw the promotional video, it's scary."

Ye Mo looked at the screen and laughed: "Sister Sishi, are you praising me or scolding me?"

"I'm praising you." Liu Sishi sent an eye-rolling emoji. "Don't overthink it."

"I didn't think much of it. See you on the grasslands, I'll treat you to a meal then."

"Okay, you said it. Don't go back on your word."

"No regrets."

The conversation has ended.

Ye Mo put down his phone and continued rummaging through the wardrobe.

After searching for a long time, I decided to buy a set when I went to Shanghai.

Liu Sishi stared at the "No Regrets" message on the screen.

I stared at it for a few seconds, then put my phone face down on the bed and lay down.

The corners of his mouth were turned up.

……

Time jumped, and it was now the day of the premiere.

From its release date announcement to its premiere, the popularity of "Kung Fu Jungle" has been steadily rising over the past two weeks.

Zeng Zidan's box office appeal is undeniable, and coupled with the fan base of action actors like Fan Shaohuang and Shi Xingyu, the pre-sale box office has already broken records for similar films.

There is increasing discussion about Feng Yuxiu online.

"Zeng Zidan's action movie is finally going to be released. I'm looking forward to it."

"Just because of this villain, I'm going to see it in the cinema."

"Don't praise it too much too soon, what if the final product is a flop?"

"Even if it's terrible, it's worth it; that one shot alone made it worthwhile."

Some people praise it, while others criticize it.

But no matter what, Ye Mo's name has been trending on social media several times already.

……

The premiere was held at the Grand Cinema in Shanghai.

This is one of the oldest cinemas in Shanghai, dating back to the Republican era, and can accommodate over a thousand people.

Only blockbuster films can hold their premieres here.

At 5 p.m., the red carpet was already laid out.

The media area was densely packed with cameras and microphones, and photographers stood on tiptoe, waiting to take the first photos.

Several familiar faces were already seated in the critics' section—Poison Tongue Movie, Independent Fish, Peach Movie Review... all well-known film critics and influential figures in the industry.

"This is quite a spectacle today," a film critic remarked to his colleague.

"Of course! Which media outlet wouldn't want to be in a show with Zeng Zidan?"

"I heard that several big names are coming to support us?"

"Just wait and see."

……

On the red carpet, Fan Shaohuang was the first to arrive.

He was wearing a dark blue suit, his hair was neatly combed, and he smiled and waved to the media.

The clicking of camera shutters filled the air.

Then came Shi Xingyu, who was dressed casually in a black jacket, but his presence was just as strong.

Next up was Jiang Baocheng. With his height of over two meters, when he stood on the red carpet, all the cameras in the media area were tilted upwards by thirty degrees.

"Here it comes!"

"Bullet Guy is here!"

A black limousine stopped at the end of the red carpet. The door opened, and Zeng Zidan stepped out, dressed in a well-tailored black Tang suit.

He was accompanied by another person—Hong Jinbao.

No, the name of this world is Hung Kam-po.

Sammo Hung, a veteran of Hong Kong action films, and the senior of Tsang Danzi.

Although there have been rumors of discord between the two, they both came to support each other today, which is a great show of respect.

"Sammo Hung is here too? That's quite a show of force!"

"Zeng Zidan has a lot of influence."

The two walked side by side down the red carpet, and the sound of camera shutters in the media area was almost non-stop.

……

Ye Mo did not walk the red carpet.

It wasn't that the organizers wouldn't let him leave; it was that he didn't want to leave.

Why would a newcomer walk the red carpet? Nobody knows you, the media won't take pictures of you, it'll be so awkward.

He entered the movie theater through a side door and found his seat.

It's located in the third row, on the side.

Neither in front nor behind, inconspicuous.

The seating arrangement for the film crew was very particular—Zeng Zidan and Hong Jinbao were in the very center, with several lead actors next to them, and Chen Desheng and the investor representative next to them.

Ye Mo's position was in the corner.

He sat down and quietly watched the people coming and going in the hall.

Several crew members came over and greeted him.

"Congratulations, Teacher Ye!"

"Teacher Ye, are you nervous?"

Ye Mo smiled and gave a few perfunctory replies.

Then they left to chat with other people.

He sat there alone, watching the people in the hall exchanging greetings, shaking hands, and exchanging business cards in small groups.

Zeng Zidan was surrounded by a group of people, and Hong Jinbao was also surrounded by a group of people.

Fan Shaohuang is chatting with a film critic, while Shi Xingyu is taking photos with media reporters.

No one came looking for Ye Mo.

It wasn't intentional; nobody really recognized him.

Several reporters walked past him, glanced at him, and then continued walking.

A film critic sat down, glanced at Ye Mo next to him, nodded, and didn't say anything more.

Ye Mo leaned back in his chair, staring at the still-unlit screen on the big screen.

He recalled his days as an extra in Hengdian.

You're squatting in the corner waiting for your turn to act, and nobody even glances at you.

And now? Sitting at the premiere, no one even glances at you.

The location has changed, and the clothes have changed, but the situation remains the same.

"It's okay," he told himself. "Things will be different once the movie is released."

Chen Desheng walked over from the crowd and sat down next to him.

"Why are you sitting alone?"

"There are too many people, I can't recognize them all," Ye Mo smiled.

Chen Desheng glanced at him and patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't rush," he said. "They'll get to know you after tonight."

Ye Mo nodded without saying anything.

The lights in the lobby dimmed.

The big screen lit up.

The premiere has begun.
