The previous guest had already entered, and the cameras on the red carpet were now focused on the waiting area.
“Let’s go, it’s our turn to make our appearance.” Luo Ying took the initiative to hold Su Ran’s hand and flashed a playful smile to the camera. The audience watching the live broadcast in front of the screen couldn’t help but be moved.
[Oh my God, this woman is too ruthless.] This bullet screen expressed the thoughts of all the viewers.
WeChat had always been the largest video platform in the country. It held many large-scale events every year, so it had always been very popular. Therefore, it was no surprise for many people to be watching the red carpet live stream. In addition to the hot searches, some netizens who had been stunned by Luo Ying’s viral beauty had also been drawn in.
They never expected to be blasted in the face by Luo Ying’s smile at the moment of entering the stream. It was like watching a hundred flowers bloom in a garden. Even the screen seemed to light up before their very eyes.
Even diehard fans of other stars had to admit that Luo Ying was truly beautiful in this dress. She was so beautiful that once you saw her, everyone else became fleeting images.
Luo Ying had suddenly reached out to hold her arm. Su Ran’s body stiffened. Her skin was cool, but the moment it touched her arm, it felt like a hot, scalding iron.
Su Ran subconsciously wanted to shake her arm free, but she was forced to restrain herself.
Today, she was wearing a pure white but embellished eastern-style dress, taking on the theme of a dreamy fairy. She did look like a fairy on the surface, but she paled in comparison to Luo Ying, who was wearing a fiery red dress.
On top of that, the difference in their looks was obvious. One was bright and dazzling, while the other was plain and elegant. The two were not comparable.
In the face of absolute beauty, all the grace and finesse amounted to nothing.
As soon as the two of them walked on the red carpet, everyone’s eyes automatically focused on Luo Ying, and there was even a continuous clamor in the crowd.
The camera flashes were relentless. Even the photojournalists that the company had specially bribed in advance couldn’t help but turn their cameras to Luo Ying discreetly, out of professional concern for beauty after they had hurriedly taken obligatory photos of Su Ran.
Her side profile, her visage, the graceful curvature of her back, her smile, her raised eyes, her lowered eyes. Luo Ying’s every move, every freeze-frame, every shot was like a delicate poster, and the photographers did not want to miss a single one.
The moment the two of them stepped on the red carpet, the total number of viewers broke the highest record for the night. The bullet s flew through the screen. When the main director saw this scene, he quickly picked up his walkie-talkie.
The host on the red carpet was interviewing Su Ran. He asked her what she thought of being shortlisted for the Best Newcomer Award tonight. This was a common question, and the team had already agreed on the answer, so Su Ran acted appropriately.
According to the original arrangement, after the host finished asking this question, he would invite them off the stage and into the venue. However, just as he was about to say the closing words, the director’s latest instructions came through the headset. He asked him to interview Luo Ying, who had not said a word, so that the two of them could stay on the red carpet for a while longer.
The host didn’t know much about Luo Ying. However, he had been instructed to buy her more screentime. He racked his mind to think of a topic for the interview. He could only use today’s stage as the topic. “As far as I know, this is your first time performing on stage after the audition team disbanded. And you’re not even standing with your teammates. Are you particularly nervous?”
When she heard the host ask Luo Ying a question, the smile on Su Ran’s face froze for a moment, but she had no choice but to pass the microphone to Luo Ying.
Luo Ying took the microphone and nodded politely to express her thanks. “Of course, I’m nervous, but it’s because of this tension that I take every stage seriously.”
As soon as she said this, those who knew Luo Ying and had seen her on stage laughed. How could she be serious about the stage with her uncoordinated limbs and her tone-deafness?
The host knew this much. He heard that Luo Ying had not even shown up for the rehearsal. How could she ever take the stage seriously?
His smile naturally carried a hint of disapproval. “Okay, then we’ll wait and see your wonderful performance tonight.”
The two of them got off the stage and out of the camera’s range. The smile on Su Ran’s face immediately disappeared. She broke free from Luo Ying’s hand and walked back to the artists’ lounge backstage to prepare for the performance later.
