Chapter 502: Chapter 333: Red Carpet Turmoil
The reason Guli Nazha invited Li Peifeng to walk the red carpet together is very simple: for the image, for the buzz.
Although she is a top-tier star, this Endpoint Literary Gala is a star-studded event, and Guli Nazha’s status is definitely not the highest. There are several female stars more prominent than her, so naturally, Guli Nazha is not the most eye-catching one.
After the gala concludes, the portion of reports about her is destined to be only a small part.
Out of professional habit, Guli Nazha’s pursuit of buzz and traffic is ingrained in her bones. For a top-tier actress like her, whose acting skills are not particularly outstanding and who has already crossed the thirty-year-old threshold, buzz is everything. If she can’t maintain high exposure, her commercial value will gradually diminish, and in the long run, if she doesn’t appear in public, her career will basically come to an end.
Therefore, Guli Nazha wants to further expose herself at the gala, gain more traffic, and receive more coverage, but she struggles without an opportunity.
Just as she’s nodding off, a pillow arrives. Guli Nazha encountered Li Peifeng during rehearsal and seized the opportunity, thus deciding to walk the red carpet with him to create a topic.
Li Peifeng had no reason to oppose this. Guli Nazha could gain buzz, and he could also increase his exposure, gain fans, and attract more people to read his books.
Secondly, inspired by He Yimeng, Li Peifeng felt he could use this opportunity to disrupt the balance of those four and resolve the current cold war state, turning passivity into initiative!
"You’re not paying attention to me, are you? Fine, someone is paying attention to me!"
"A top-tier actress is holding my arm to walk the red carpet, are you mad? Huh, mad as hell, right? Come and scold me!"
For taking this unusual step, Li Peifeng also had no choice. Since his enthusiasm was getting no response, he could only take an unexpected path, making them angry, a bit jealous, feel some crisis, and then things would be easier to handle.
As it turned out, it worked! Originally, the four girls were united and at a stalemate moment with Li Peifeng. They just needed to wait patiently for him to become exhausted, hungry, and ultimately unable to resist choosing any one of them to achieve success.
But Guli Nazha, like a great heroine, wearing a fairy dress and stepping on a rainbow cloud, directly took Li Peifeng away from this predicament!!
As a big star, she came with her halo shining so brightly that it was a dimensional strike, greatly increasing the crisis feeling among the four girls.
However, this move also carried risks: it mustn’t turn into reality, and they had to be mindful of the limits, or it could backfire. If the four girls genuinely got angry and left, that’s what Li Peifeng least wanted to see.
And the control of limits is very subtle. Li Peifeng thought that it’s acceptable to walk the red carpet with Guli Nazha, but taking off his coat to put it on her during the process was evidently a bit over the top, slightly exceeding the tolerance of the four girls, skimming the dangerous edge.
See, WeChat messages and phone calls started coming in, huh?!
But it was really inappropriate to respond at the moment, so Li Peifeng had no choice but to give up.
He discreetly and quickly set the phone in his pants pocket to silent mode, then continued walking the red carpet with Guli Nazha.
Meanwhile, the live stream chat exploded like a volcanic eruption...
"What’s happening? Everyone is walking alone, why does Nazha have a male companion? Is he a writer?"
"Who is this male star putting a coat on Nazha? So handsome? How come I’ve never seen him?"
"He’s a writer, pen name ’Liang Feng of the Mortal World!’" fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
"Liang Feng actually...he is really so gentle, I could cry!"
"Wow, can online writers be this handsome too? If the host didn’t introduce him, I’d have thought he’s a star!"
"They match each other perfectly! Nazha’s bare height is 175 cm, wearing heels at least 180. Such height makes her rarely find male companions for the red carpet, because no one wants to walk with her. Now standing with Liang Feng, she actually seems surprisingly demure!"
"To be fair, the two of them really look well-matched together."
"Much better than Nazha’s previous partners, they should be together, be together!"
"Stop it! Nazha, boo hoo hoo, my Nazha!"
"I hereby announce, in this round, the online literature writer has scored a three-pointer!"
"With Liang Feng’s appearance, the average attractiveness on the writer’s side has increased by at least ten points!"
"What are his works called? I’ll take a look when I have time."
"Aren’t you focusing on the main point? Look at how Nazha is looking at Liang Feng, about to pull a thread! Is something going on between them?"
"Nonsense, does a small web writer want to ride on the coattails of my family’s Nazha? Bah!"
"A small star like Nazha is not worthy of our Feng Da? Where’s the Feng Family Army? Perfect match starts!!"
"Perfect match, top match, super match!!"
The disputes in the live stream chat were unknown to the two main characters, and even if they knew, they wouldn’t care.
It’s just walking the red carpet arm in arm, which is very normal. As for the man taking off his coat and giving it to the woman, it merely shows he’s considerate. If the audience suspected a romantic relationship between the two just because of this, it’s a bit unreasonable. After all, in the cold winter, Guli Nazha was wearing a dress. If Li Peifeng did nothing, someone would surely scold him for being wooden and lacking gentlemanly manner.
Even if the chat was lively, it was just the fans of the two of them stirring up a CP on the internet.
They continued to walk down the red carpet, very slowly, occasionally pausing. During this time, the two of them cooperated with perfect harmony, leaving countless photos, which was silent praise from the on-site media.
Some of Nazha’s fans were holding up colorful support signs, shouting loudly about how beautiful Nazha was, with attitudes very passionate. Li Peifeng wondered if these people were hired by Sister Shang.
