I Have A Dual World Seal

Chapter 1136: Chapter 1135: Hai City International Film Festival

A month has passed, and it just so happens to coincide with the Hai City International Film Festival. This event usually has nothing to do with Lu Zheng and his friends, but this time, thanks to Zhao Xiaodao, they got their hands on some inner circle tickets.

Of course, even with Zhao Xiaodao’s status, the seats she managed to secure were behind the tenth row. The seats at the front were occupied by stars from the entertainment circle and industry insiders.

But that’s more than enough. Given Lu Zheng and his friends’ prowess, isn’t it super easy for them to see all the little details on stage?

"Well, Deng Pao Pao is here, but Lady Sun isn’t. She’s still resting at home."

"After all, she just had her third child, and she’s getting older. A bit more rest is good for her."

"Those actresses are quite good-looking."

"They’re far worse looking than you."

"Just that their skin really isn’t great—the foundation’s thick, probably because they use too much makeup."

"Tsk tsk, Zhao Xiaodao’s wearing only light makeup. From up close, the insiders know what this implies, look at all those curious and envious little glances."

"Hehe, even Liu the Celestial Immortal and Yang Mi got close."

"Haha, the flashbulbs won’t stop flashing, this is definitely tomorrow’s headline." Lu Zheng watched with great interest from the back, after all, he grew up watching dramas starring these three, and this was his first time seeing Liu the Celestial Immortal and Yang Mi, the two protagonists, in person.

Lin Wan nodded, "The Big Three!"

After Liu the Celestial Immortal and Yang Mi, Zhao Xiaodao is considered the last actress to have national-level fame.

Because there are more and more entertainment options, the target audience is becoming more segmented, without national-level film and TV works, naturally, there aren’t any national-level actresses.

Looking at the ’little plants and little flowers’ in the front row, there are certainly a few with good looks and charisma, but sadly Lu Zheng doesn’t recognize any of them and they certainly lack in presence compared to Zhao Xiaodao and the others.

...

[Hai City International Film Festival, Stars of Chinese Entertainment Shine]

[Next-generation Actresses Take the Stage]

[Liu the Celestial Immortal Dressed in LV and Bulgari Custom, No Less Immortal than in Former Years]

[Yang Mi in a Floor-length Red Gown, Outshining Everyone]

[Zhao Xiaodao in a National Style Long Dress, Stunning the Crowd]

[Liu the Celestial Immortal, Yang Mi, Zhao Xiaodao Appearing Together, Constant Shouts of Amazement on Site]

The next day, all kinds of articles and carefully edited photos were released, as Lu Zheng expected, the headline was the three actresses appearing together, even overshadowing the film festival itself, it eclipsed even the best actor and actress.

"Can’t be helped, we three just happened to all have movies in the festival, the organizers took advantage of this and put us together," Zhao Xiaodao shrugged but didn’t mind.

It’s a win-win situation after all, the film festival, Zhao Xiaodao, including Liu the Celestial Immortal and Yang Mi, all benefit.

Although there were some fans kicking up a fuss, the three actresses’ studios handled the comments, and later they posted a group photo, so there were no dramatic feuds.

"Speaking of which, did Liu the Celestial Immortal and Yang Mi make up?" Lu Zheng was quite curious, "Weren’t they not on good terms anymore?"

"They indeed fell out before, but hasn’t it been so long already? Plus, there aren’t any conflicting interests now. Their statuses are stable, hard to move up, but also not going down, so their relationship naturally recovered. Although not as good as in the beginning, saying hi and taking a picture is no problem."

What Zhao Xiaodao didn’t mention is that Liu the Celestial Immortal and Yang Mi being so harmonious yesterday also had something to do with her presence, both in front and behind the cameras, everyone was praising her skin and condition.

Heh!

They’re all seasoned top-tier celebrities, could Zhao Xiaodao not know what they’re after?

Kidding, after finally getting this big support, how could she easily share it with you two?

Skillfully handled the two of them, Zhao Xiaodao’s Heart Spirit was a bit drained, she didn’t even attend the post-film festival party, just greeted some acquaintances and left.

And now, it’s already the morning of the next day, coincidentally a Sunday, so Zhao Xiaodao invited a few ladies out to play again, and naturally, Lu Zheng was pulled out of bed by a few spirited ladies.

"What are we doing today? Going to watch a movie?" Lin Wan asked.

At this moment, everyone happened to arrive at a mall entrance, with flagpoles flying Hai City International Film Festival banners, the surface of the banners was covered with movie-related stills, the logo was the name of the cinema in the mall.

Other than the red carpet and gala, the Hai City International Film Festival made agreements with many theatres in Hai City to screen festival movies. Just by booking tickets through the film festival’s app, you could watch the movies for free.

Of course, they didn’t have to bother with this, Zhao Xiaodao had a dozen general admission tickets, which allow them to directly choose seats at a cinema.

So Zhao Xiaodao nodded repeatedly, "Let’s watch ’Incomplete Diary’, the one I starred in."

This was a suspense film Zhao Xiaodao shot the year before last. After post-production, the release date hadn’t been set, and it got postponed until the beginning of this year to release.

Although it wasn’t a huge hit, it also didn’t flop. The reviews were average, but it made a small profit.

However, Si Lingxi glanced back at Zhao Xiaodao, "How was the filming?"

Zhao Xiaodao swallowed, thought for a moment, then said, "So... how about we change movies?"

Shen Ying couldn’t help but laugh, "No changing, let’s watch ’Incomplete Diary’, we should support Little Saber at least."

Zhao Xiaodao was teary-eyed, feeling deeply moved, acting +10!

So the group together headed into the mall cinema, exchanged the general tickets Zhao Xiaodao had for movie tickets, and sat down inside.

Since it’s a free screening, even for a film that’s already been released, the theatre was still about seventy to eighty percent full.

The group arrived relatively late, so the seats they chose were at the back, but it didn’t affect their movie-watching experience.

It’s just the film quality was quite average, at least when the progress reached a third, Lu Zheng had already guessed who the culprit was, the rest of the time was spent watching the protagonist and antagonist bluff their way.

"It’s not bad, at least the atmosphere was well rendered." Shen Ying commented.

"The actors’ performances are good, no one’s dragging it down." Lin Wan said.

"Quite interesting." Liu Qingyan said.

Si Lingxi said nothing, whereas Lu Zheng gave a thumbs up, "Great film, just with this movie, for the festival not to give you Best Actress is absolutely a scam!"

"Brother Lu, don’t mess around, even my fans wouldn’t say something like that." Zhao Xiaodao was speechless.

"Alright, alright, let’s go eat." Lu Zheng laughed heartily, "Let’s go to Huayu Private Kitchen, the food there isn’t bad."

So the group turned towards the familiar private restaurant.

However, just as they parked the car and reached the restaurant entrance, they bumped into another group of people.

"Miss Zhao?" The visitor said with delight.

"Mr. Song." Zhao Xiaodao raised her eyebrows, responded indifferently.

Lu Zheng looked around and noticed in the group of seven or eight, half of them were Korean.
