Chapter 222 Taming Hearts premiere nigh (2/2)
”Woah! Indeed, I must agree because when I watched the trailer, it was truly a masterpiece of Director Shen.” The host professionally agreed and exchanged good words with Rika Song regarding the movie and then moved on to Gael.
”Mr. Gael Zhang—” Just as the host uttered Gael Zhang's name over the microphone, he was interrupted when the fans screaming intensified.
Unconsciously, the host, Rika, Arnold Shen, and Gael Zhang turned to see the cause of the uproar. There, at the other end of the red carpet, a black van that Elliot Gong always used to arrived in before Elliot Gong himself hitched out from the vehicle— causing a very boisterous commotion.
Elliot Gong's crazy fans tried to get a closer look at him which made the marshal present raise their guards afraid that it would be a disaster if not prevented.
”Kyah! Eli! Eli!”
”Brother Eli!!!”
”Mr. Elliot Gong please look here!” Again, a sequence of wails from the journalists and Elliot Gong's terrifying fans filled the air. It was as if his presence alone made them forget about Rika and Gael Zhang.
”He's such a diva.” Murmuring that was audible only for the three to hear, Rika dissed. Still, her smiling pretty front didn't change. On the other hand, Gael Zhang's countenance didn't have a slight change as he remained composed and undisturbed.
Meanwhile, Arnold Shen was more satisfied because having Elliot Gong in his cast was one of the strongest points to promote the movie with his popularity. He didn't mind Rika's diss as he already knew their frenemy relationship.
Upon hearing Rika's unreserved insult, the host awkwardly smiled as he didn't see that coming. After all, Rika's image was the type that depicted her big heart as she allowed a small percent of her income to go to charity. She was also known as a humble person even after gaining riches. Nevertheless, the host composed his momentarily distraught mind to continue the interview.
”As I was saying, Mr. Gael Zhang, what can you say about working with the beautiful Miss Rika Song?”
”Since it was my first time working with Miss Song, I was really anxious at first. But, she did guide me very well and it was much easier to work with her around— she's a great actress to work with, yeah.” Smile still intact, Gael Zhang responded casually.
”Hehe, Mr. Zhang many were asking after the trailer was revealed, a love team between you and Miss Song was created—are you willing to film another movie with Miss Song if ever?”
”Haha! Of course, I am! That's Rika Song— who wouldn't want that?” The interview didn't last long as the three of them entered the theater after a few more questions and promotions of the movie.
This time, Elliot Gong was done posing and making his fans faint from his killer smile and winks. As he reached the other end of the carpet, he was welcomed by the host of the night. The host complimented him from head to toe and mentioned his recent awards and everything before he proceeded to interview him.
”Mr. Elliot Gong, since this was the first movie that you're not the male lead, what can you say about your experience?”
”It was fun and a refreshing experience. Although I have already worked with some of the cast and Director Shen in the past— still, that's probably the best part; working a masterpiece with friends.” Without leaving his smile, Elliot Gong cooly responded.
”Hehe, there had been a heated discussion online about your pairing with Miss Yang— what do you think about it?”
Just as the host delivered his question, a white van slowly approached the red carpet entrance, unlike Elliot Gong's entrance, this time, Lexi's arrival momentarily silenced the crowd and made others pause from clicking their cameras.
