Chapter 572: Chapter 572: You Crushed My Eggs
The young lady was startled at first, there were so many people crowded at the entrance of the screening room, bumping into someone was normal, but the other guy shouting about crushing his eggs was so crude, making it an embarrassing situation.
The young lady blushed slightly and shyly said, "Big brother, isn’t that a bit exaggerated? I did bump into you, but to say I crushed your eggs, isn’t that too far-fetched?"
The young man with glasses opened his bag to show the young lady, angrily saying, "I’m talking about the eggs in my bag, what are you thinking? There’s a total of three pounds of eggs here, you have to compensate me."
Xu Xiangbei joined in the fun and whispered, "It was unintentional on her part. You’re a grown man, bringing so many eggs to a premiere, are you selling eggs or what? If they’re broken, they’re broken, let it go without making her pay."
Hearing someone speak up for her, the young lady thought it was suspicious for a grown man to bring a big bag of eggs to a premiere, and that she shouldn’t have to pay.
Batting her gorgeous eyes, the young lady confidently said, "This big brother is right, I didn’t mean it, and you shouldn’t have brought so many eggs here. I can’t pay you."
Seeing that the girl who broke his eggs not only refused to pay but also confidently criticized him, the young man with glasses, being a petty person, immediately grabbed the young lady’s arm, saying, "You can’t leave without paying."
This made the entrance lively, as the man and woman started quarreling noisily, while on stage, Director Feng was making a big speech, and there at the entrance, the two were arguing fiercely.
The young man with glasses kept holding onto the young lady’s arm, not allowing her to leave, while the young lady was eagerly trying to break free. Her arm suddenly swung, and accompanied by a ripping sound, a big tear appeared in the sleeve of the young lady’s shirt, exposing her fair arm.
Having borrowed that outfit specifically for the premiere, now that it was torn, she felt like dying. The young lady immediately got angry, without a word, she lifted her long beautiful leg and kicked between the legs of the young man with glasses, "You pervert, tearing my clothes, I’ll ruin those eggs of yours too."
The instigator of all this, Xu Xiangbei, watched from the side, laughing so hard he nearly had a stomachache.
Because there was an argument at the entrance, several security guards with electric batons came over.
Most of the security guards maintaining order at the premiere were from the film set, and some of them knew Xu Xiangbei.
Xu Xiangbei subtly gave the guards a look, "That guy brought eggs, intending to make trouble, throw him out."
The guards understood and first asked the young lady, "Young lady, how did your clothes get torn?"
The young lady, with tears in her eyes, pitifully said, "It was this pervert, he harassed me and tore my sleeve, he’s being a pervert."
The guards exchanged a look, reaching a consensus, not allowing the man with glasses to explain, they grabbed his collar and dragged him out, the batons occasionally hitting him while saying, "Daring to be a pervert here, come outside with us."
The man with glasses, getting pushed and beaten by the security guards, was driven out of the screening room.
The young lady was so anxious her eyes were about to fall out. After fighting hard for a small role, she attended the premiere dressed beautifully to leave a good impression on the director, only to have her sleeve torn by a pervert.
Seeing the young lady looking sad, Xu Xiangbei felt a bit guilty, for it was his own fault for causing the chaos. He smiled and asked, "With your clothes ruined, are you embarrassed to meet the director?"
The young lady nodded, "Yes."
Xu Xiangbei smiled and said, "Wait a moment, I brought a few clothes for a friend, I’ll find you one to wear, you two have similar body types."
Since Xu Xiangbei came with a wheelchair today, he was worried about sudden cold weather, so he prepared a light jacket for Gu Xinyan. With many people at the grand theatre, the temperature was high, and a light jacket was unnecessary but now could be useful.
Xu Xiangbei gave Gu Xinyan’s jacket to the young lady, "What’s your name? Are you new to the crew?"
The jacket’s vibrant color and snug fit quickly erased the young lady’s displeasure, making her cheerful, "My name is Tang Ziqing. This dress fits me just right. Who are you?"
Xu Xiangbei handed his business card to Tang Ziqing. Tang Ziqing exclaimed in surprise, "You’re Xu Xiangbei, president of the Thunderbird Group, wow, the big boss, you’re so young."
"What big boss, just call me Dr. Xu."
Feeling the soft fabric of the jacket, Tang Ziqing was happily surprised, "Is this your girlfriend’s jacket? It’s so nice. And it’s Prada, a designer brand, it can’t be fake, right?"
Xu Xiangbei laughed, "Not fake at all, I got it from the Carolan Boutique, one hundred percent genuine."
Gu Xinyan walked over, surprised to see Tang Ziqing wearing her jacket, with a questioning look on her face.
Xu Xiangbei explained, "This young lady’s clothes were torn by someone, she’s embarrassed, so she’s borrowing your jacket for a while."
"Oh, I see, no problem."
Tang Ziqing happily looked at Gu Xinyan, almost unable to close her mouth, "Gu Xinyan, this is your jacket, wonderful, thank you, Sister Xin Yan. We’ll often be acting together in the future."
Gu Xinyan didn’t know Tang Ziqing and had never seen her before, she asked, puzzled, "Who are you?"
Tang Ziqing clapped her hands happily, looking at Gu Xinyan with envy, "I’m Tang Ziqing, just cast in the ’Immortal Spirit Chronicles’ crew, I’m going to play a little demon. It’s great to meet you, I think you look even more beautiful in person than on screen."
Praising Gu Xinyan, Tang Ziqing made her cheeks flush lightly.
"Sister, please look after me in the future, okay?"
Seeing Tang Ziqing’s innocent and cute nature, Gu Xinyan and Xu Xiangbei exchanged a smile, "Of course, we’ll look after each other."
After the premiere of ’Sword Rain and Love’, the box office earnings were substantial, the audience feedback was excellent, the next day, Huang Qinghai and Director Feng decided to sign a star contract with Gu Xinyan to officially groom her into a star, making her the leading lady of ’Immortal Spirit Chronicles’.
In Director Feng’s office.
Director Feng smiled at Gu Xinyan, saying, "’Immortal Spirit Chronicles’ has a tight shooting schedule, we want to secure an opening slot, the preparatory work has long been completed, and the actors are all selected, we’re planning to start shooting tomorrow."
Gu Xinyan was a bit surprised, though she had been prepared and knew she was the only choice for the lead role, hearing that filming would start the next day still made her a bit nervous.
Xu Xiangbei brought a wheelchair, acting as Gu Xinyan’s assistant.
Seeing Gu Xinyan a bit concerned, he gently held her hand, "Your first movie is finished, and you did very well. Now, filming the second one, you’ll have more experience, I believe you can do it."
Feeling the warmth and strength of Xu Xiangbei’s big hand, Gu Xinyan also gained confidence.
"Then you must support me, help me, so I can confidently film ’Immortal Spirit Chronicles.’"
