Chapter 140: The Opening of the Film Festival

Ye Xin was not stupid. She could, naturally, see through these people’s intentions. However, she would not reject them. She wanted to establish an approachable persona, and she needed exposure to increase her popularity.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion from the back.

Someone shouted, “President Mu is here!”

Everyone turned to look at the red carpet, including Ye Xin.

Ye Xin’s heart could not help but jump in joy. Why did Mu Chen suddenly decide to attend the film festival? She blamed herself for not doing enough research that she was unaware of Mu Chen’s attendance. If she had known he was coming, she would have thought of a way to walk the red carpet with him. Was there better publicity than that?

No. Ye Xin could not let this golden opportunity slip past her no matter what. She had to stand next to him; she had to be photographed in the same frame as him.

The person walking next to Mu Chen was his assistant, Cheng Che.

Both men wore black suits and snow-white shirts. However, Cheng Che looked more formal whereas Mu Chen looked more casual. The two men were good-looking; one of them was smiling while the other one was expressionless.

The female host was excited when she saw the duo as well. “The men walking toward us now are the investors, Mr. Mu Chen and Mr. Cheng Che.”

The applause was thunderous. Their popularity was not any less than the celebrities who walked the red carpet. After all, such wealthy and handsome men were rare. Moreover, there was also the ambiguous relationship between Mu Chen and the popular female star, Ye Xin.

At this moment, there were already fans shouting at the same time. “Ye Xin! Ye Xin! Marry Ye Xin! Marry Ye Xin!”

The female celebrities around Ye Xin looked at her teasingly.

Ye Xin blushed.

Finally, Mu Chen and Cheng Che arrived at the platform.

The female host was so excited that she almost forgot her words. “President Mu, it’s such an honor to meet you here. Executive Assistant Cheng, nice to meet you!”

Mu Chen and Cheng Che stood tall in front of everyone.

At this time, Cheng Che reminded the female host, “Shouldn’t you ask why we’re here?”

The female host was embarrassed and quickly did as she was told.

Cheng Che smiled and said, “Can you lend me the microphone? I’ll help you complete your interview.”

Who could resist such a smile?

The female host was in a daze as she passed the microphone to Cheng Che.

After taking the microphone, Cheng Che said, “Hello, everyone. It’s an honor that I can introduce myself in front of so many people. My name is Cheng Che, and this is my boss, Mu Chen. I can see everyone’s confused about our attendance. Some of you even looked like you’re wondering if we came to the wrong place.”

A burst of friendly laughter rang from below.

Cheng Che continued to say, “Both of us are here as investors and producers. I’m sure everyone knows that the cast and production team for the original Yi Yao would be having a ten-year reunion. Although President Mu and I aren’t actors, we’re the investors after all. Therefore, both of us shamelessly decided to attend the film festival.”

The buzzing sound of discussion and thunderous applause continued to ring in the air due to Cheng Che’s tongue-in-cheek speech.

“Heaven! Yi Yao was funded by President Mu? Why didn’t I know this?”

“It’s not strange. After all, most people only focus on the actors… Who would pay attention to the investors?”

“Well, at least we know now…”

Everyone looked at the stage with rapt attention.

Cheng Che returned the microphone to the host.

After taking the microphone, the host said amiably, “In the past ten years, the world has changed. However, some things would not change especially when it becomes a classic. Ten years ago, the movie Yi Yao caused a wave due to its deeply moving story. From the screenwriter to the director, the actors to the crew, and even the staff behind the scenes, all of them had made big contributions to the classic.”

The host paused for a brief moment before saying, “After ten years, most of these people had walked on different paths due to their respective fields. However, the movie remained important in their hearts until today. For this reason, all of them have decided to come together for a reunion. Now, let’s give the warmest applause to all the members of Yi Yao!”

The applause was even more thunderous than before; almost everyone was excited. Although there were many young people, all of them were familiar with Yi Yao due to it being a classic. Moreover, there were many mysteries surroundings the movie that piqued people’s interest.

At this time, the production team walked onto the platform. Many of them had made a name for themselves over the past ten years. From nobody, they had become shining stars in their respective fields.

all the members of the production team walked up to the stage together. Moreover, many of them had already been honed over the past ten years and had gone from being nobody to shining characters.
