Chapter 532 - The Guests Arrive Part II
After the beauty influencers, more guests started arriving. The shrieks and screams coming from the massive crowd of fans intensified.
Members of the Pandemonium band: Blaze, Eros, Night and Thunder.
"Kyaaaah! My husbands have arrived!"
"Charming as always, Blaze!"
"OMG! Eros looks so sexy! My gosh! Someone catch me. I'm gonna faint!"
"Night! You're so cool, Night! I love you so much, Night!"
"Ah, I'm so stoked to see my cute Thunder! Baby, look here and come to Momma!"
So many panties got wet when these four hot guys arrived. Pandemonium had become one of the hottest rock bands in the country after their successful music collaboration with Iris Long. Their song, "Monster of Insanity", instantly achieved legendary status after Iris Long won a special technical award for composing it. The song was now their biggest hit in their career so far.
In addition, their individual skills had made significant improvements after collaborating with Iris Long. They became more meticulous in their techniques and music composition. Thanks to her Spartan training when they were working on "Monster of Insanity" back then, all Pandemonium members had evolved into better musicians. They would forever be grateful to her. She helped them become better versions of themselves.
Next, JJ and DJ Song also arrived on the red carpet.Tang Yiyi and some Bright Summit higher-ups, including the entertainment company's big boss.
Director He and the two hosts of "MusicFest Tonight".
Feng Wan and her three friends—Si Xinyue, Bai Li and Kung Mian.
Police officers personally escorted the four posh ladies because they considered Si Xinyue as their madam. She was their Police Chief's beloved wife after all.
Despite this VIP treatment, the four posh ladies acted poised and classy. They didn't make it a point to show off their police escorts. Not only was it not their characters to do so, but it would also reflect badly on Si Xinyue and her Police Chief husband. They didn't want the public to accuse the Police Chief of nepotism.
The Black Stars among the crowd recognized the four posh ladies as their fan club's PR Officers.
"MrsLovePhantom, you're so beautiful! OMG!"
"JJNumber1Fan, JJNumber2Fan, JJNumber3Fan! Please change your usernames! They suck!"
JJ, who was being interviewed by an entertainment reporter a few metres away on the red carpet, heard what this particular fan shouted. He scowled.
"What do you mean their usernames suck?! You don't know shit! They're the best usernames I've ever come across in my entire life!" After shouting at the fan, JJ turned to the four posh ladies and flashed his best smile. "Ladies, I approve of your usernames. No need to change them! This award-winning music producer is glad to meet you again."
Feng Wan's three friends became flustered after JJ talked directly to them. One of them even looked like she was about to faint. Indeed, these three ladies were all JJ's fans. Feng Wan and DJ Song could only smile helplessly at each other, as they each dragged their friends away from each other to prevent any embarrassing situation from occurring on such a highly publicized event as this.
JJ and DJ Song stayed on the red carpet for interviews, while the four posh ladies skipped the reporters. They weren't celebrities so they didn't bother granting any interviews, especially Feng Wan who preferred to live a low-profile life. It was only because of her adoration for Iris Long and her position in the Black Stars that she allowed herself to become visible to the public like this.
Next to arrive on the red carpet was the vivacious talk show host, Feng Jiu. It was on her talk show, "A Closer Look with Feng Jiu", that Iris Long first revealed that she was engaged to a mysterious man. Feng Jiu was also secretly the cousin of Madam Feng Wan. Both middle-aged ladies preferred to live low-profile lives.
Another luxury vehicle dropped off the next guests.
CEO Hou Liang (a.k.a. MonkeyFace and Emperor Monkey) and CFO Wu Chen (a.k.a. iEatSlippers and I Am Slipperlord) of Planet Monkey.
As soon as the Black Stars and the members of the Slippers Army saw the two, they all became excited. They became even more boisterous than when the four posh ladies appeared just moments ago.
Hou Liang and Wu Chen were, without a doubt, the two most famous members of the Black Stars right now. Wu Chen, as iEatSlippers and founder of the notorious troll group Slippers Army, was already online (in)famous in his own right before. But when it was revealed that the two were the CEO and CFO of the gaming company, Planet Monkey, the two instantly shot to fame.
The gamers among the crowd went crazy when they discovered that the top executives of Planet Monkey had arrived. It didn't matter whether they were members of the Black Stars or not, they idolized Hou Liang and Wu Chen.
Why?
Because their company, Planet Monkey, was the one that created their current most favourite game, "Supreme Ascension"! The computer game was only becoming more and more popular each month. In fact, it was now the #1 most popular computer game being played in internet cafés."Emperor Monkey! Please give us some game cheats!"
"The latest slipper attacks you released are so awesome and cool! My favourite is Slipper Bazooka!"
"Mine is Gatling Slipper! It's such a ridiculous-looking attack but actually very powerful! If you successfully combo the skill, it increases the chance of critical hits! And did you see it when I Am Slipperlord demonstrated the skill in the arena? It was so freaking funny! He sucked so badly! Ahahaha!"
Wu Chen scowled upon hearing the gamers trashtalking him. He was about to trashtalk them back and threaten them with his mighty slippers, but the quiet Hou Liang left him behind.
"Hey, bro! Wait for me!!!"
Unfortunately for Hou Liang, they couldn't escape the reporters' attention. The two of them had been featured on TV, magazines and newspapers repeatedly in the past few months ever since "Supreme Ascension" became a domestic hit.
While the two resigned themselves to the red carpet interviews, more guests arrived.
Yin Meixing with the other cast and crew of "Strong Yet Broken". Guan Jintao and his wife came with them.
As soon as the crowd saw Yin Meixing, they descended into another round of deafening screams and shrieks. Like Iris Long, Yin Meixing's fame and reputation skyrocketed after winning the Best Actress Award in the Sommet International Film Festival. She gained more fans. Her status within the acting industry also increased by several levels.
"Congratulations, Yin Meixing!""You look plain on screen but you're actually pretty in person! Yin Meixing, I'm a new fan!"
Hou Liang released a sigh of relief when Yin Meixing's arrival diverted the annoying reporters' attention away from him and Wu Chen.
More celebrities arrived on the red carpet. Most of them received Orchidia Beauty product samples from Iris when she worked with them. They liked the products and raved about them on their own blogs, websites, and social media pages. Some of them were managed by Tang Yiyi, so they were basically like Iris' siblings in Bright Summit.
All they knew was that Iris Long and Jin Chonglin were endorsers of this new company, Orchidia Beauty. They didn't know anything more than this. Who was the owner? They had no idea.
