She dominates the entertainment industry with her disaster system

"There's not even a photo. This level of gossip is not credible to most netizens." Yang Qian patted her shoulder, speaking in a matter-of-fact tone, "Besides, times are different now. A groundless gossip can't shake Lingxi's status at all. For actors, their works and roles speak for themselves. You have to remember this."

"Okay, okay, you don't have to worry too much. Sister Yu Wan has been following the public opinion in China. This kind of fake bot-like scandal will definitely not cause any waves in China." Jia Jia also echoed.

After hearing this, Zhu Hanqiu roughly understood their intention.

They want to break into the small circle of Hollywood, but it would be impossible without the help of connections.

Kevin Cowan showed up at the right time and was the perfect partner for them.

Or rather... a stepping stone.

"Beautiful ladies, how are your preparations going?" Bei Ning knocked lightly on the door. "Will ten more minutes be enough for you?"

"That's enough. I'll be there soon." Su Lingxi responded with a smile as she put on the pearlescent silver high heels that Zhu Hanqiu had put there in advance.

After a short while, the two of them and their respective staff got on the limousine heading to the premiere venue.

"You don't look happy." As soon as he got in the car, Su Lingxi noticed that Bei Ning's mood had obviously dropped. "Did something go wrong?"

"No, I'm just very nervous. Really, really nervous." Bei Ning held her hand and sighed softly, "Before today, I could still shift my focus to other aspects of the film, such as the picture, dubbing, post-production and so on, but now there is nothing I can do. I can only sit here and worry about the box office."

"Box office sales are something that cannot be controlled by human power. So I am very anxious right now."

"I believe you can understand how I feel, right?"

Su Lingxi held her hand and patted it soothingly. "Of course, I think every movie actor should have had the same anxiety as you. But at times like this, the more you need to find a way to relieve your stress."

"Then, how do you relieve stress?" Bei Ning asked curiously.

"It's very simple. Think of it this way: this is your first movie as a director. It's normal to make mistakes. It's better to make a mistake on a movie with an investment of 10 or 20 million than on a big production with an investment of 100 million." Su Lingxi smiled and said slowly, "Anyway, I believe that with the quality of this movie, it will be no problem to make back the investment. The only difference is how fast it will be made back."

Bei Ning obviously took her words to heart, and his expression instantly brightened. "I feel relieved when you say that. I don't really have high requirements, as long as I don't lose money."

She made a pledge with her family for this film, that if the filming was a huge loss, she would have to follow her family's wishes and study business administration abroad, and she was not allowed to talk about being a director ever again.

So Bei Ning is very nervous about the performance of this movie.

The minimum requirement is to make back the investment, and it would definitely be better if we could make more money at the box office.

"Save me... please save me, I have money, a lot of money to pay you..."

"Ms. Xin, you should get some good sleep."

When the tall woman in black appeared in the camera with a smile, there was a low cry of surprise in the audience - it was obvious that people were very surprised by Su Lingxi's unexpected "guest appearance" this time.

"It looks like the audience's reaction is pretty good." Bei Ning looked around and felt a little relieved. He leaned over to Su Lingxi and asked in a low voice, "What do you think?"

"It's a qualified suspense film that does a deep analysis of the motives of crime and the ugliness of human nature." Su Lingxi recalled the previous rough cut that he had seen before, and said sincerely, "Although the storyboards were not particularly good, you successfully remedied this problem with post-editing."

"Not bad. You actually gave me such a high evaluation." Bei Ning laughed. Tan Qingyu, who was sitting next to her, noticed the movement here and also laughed.

At this moment, the film ended completely and the spotlights above our heads lit up one by one.

Bei Ning barely suppressed her excitement, walked to the front of the crowd surrounded by several leading actors, and began to express her feelings about the production.

"To be honest, the quality of this film is beyond my expectation." Zhong Lingling, who was sitting to the left of Su Lingxi, looked at Bei Ning, who was smiling on the stage, and said softly, "Now it seems that her decision to change her major was the right one. She is a very talented director."

Zhong Lingling has never acted in a movie, but she has dabbled in it. Generally speaking, new directors will not choose to make a feature film as their first work, let alone have the opportunity to make a theatrical movie.

It is extremely rare for a newcomer like Bei Ning to achieve such a high quality in his first film. Only a few talented directors can do it.

"She has always been a decisive and thoughtful person." Su Lingxi replied with a smile, "I hope the final box office performance of Red Wedding will satisfy her."

"Judging from other people's reactions, the box office shouldn't be bad." Jiang Yuezhu came over and answered casually.

Tonight's premiere was arranged by Bei Ning personally, so the seats for the four people 424, and were specially arranged together to facilitate their chat and communication.

After the main creators finished their speeches, the other guests moved to the luxurious venue specially provided by the cinema, where they enjoyed fine wine and continued their second social event.

As the center of a hotly debated topic some time ago, Su Lingxi was almost completely drowned out by greetings coming from all directions as soon as she entered the venue. Even Bei Ning, who was walking side by side with her, was surrounded by people and could not move.

There is no doubt that - even if it was not her intention, Su Lingxi has become the protagonist of tonight's premiere.

She had no choice but to greet those acquaintances in the industry one by one, and casually talked about the filming details of "The Hiroo Murder Case", being humorous without revealing the real filming secrets; and everyone couldn't help but secretly care about Columbia Pictures. Su Lingxi knew what to say and what not to say. She hadn't even set foot in Hollywood yet, and boasting here would only make her look impetuous and arrogant, so she often just smiled and perfunctorily talked about this topic.

Of course, she also kept her publicity mission in mind throughout the process, and did not hesitate to express her optimism about the project "Red Wedding".

"Oh, right." The two finally broke through the encirclement, and Bei Ning caught a glimpse of a familiar figure not far away. She didn't know until she saw it, and then she remembered something she had forgotten. "Last week, Xie Mingyu's agent suddenly added my contact information and took the initiative to ask for an invitation to the premiere. I didn't think too much about it at the time and gave it to him without thinking."

"He's usually so cold and aloof in his dealings with others, maybe this time he's targeting you... What should I do? Will his appearance here have any impact on you?"
