Chapter 24. VIP screening
Outside the venue of the VIP screening.
The venue was bustling with reporters, photographers, cameramen, and security guards in front of the VIP screening photo wall.
Each time a celebrity passed by, a loud commotion broke out and people can hear shutter sounds.
There were various celebrities attending the event.
Director Zhu had used his connections and invited many actors he had worked with previously.
Chu Min and Li Xinru had also used their connections to invite celebrities.
Li Xinru had even contacted her previous group members to the screening. They all had gone all out with this.
Outside the venue, two reporters could be seen talking to each other.
”Wow, Even Sun Che had come to the screening. They must have used their every connection for it.”
”Yeah, he was shooting for a movie overseas but he came to the screening because Director Zhu personally invited him.”
”They must be very confident in the film. Nearly all the major media outlets had come to the screening.”
When the reported with the moustache said that, the other reporter shrugged his shoulder as he replied.
”Maybe, they just wanted to create some hype, there were rumours that the movie is not good.”
”How can you know that? You haven't watched the movie, right?”
”I just heard some rumours. The film schedule was delayed and I had even heard that they rejected Chen Tian for a role and gave it to a rookie actor.”
”Where did you heard that?”
When the moustache reported asked that, the other reporter smiled smugly as he said.
”I am pretty close with Chen Tian's manager. I heard it when we had some drinks together. Apparently, Chen Than was rejected after his role was pretty much confirmed, that's why he was angry about it.”
”Well, either way, the movie is getting enough attention. If the story is good, then it can be a hit.”
The reporter with the moustache said as he took out his phone. His phone was filled with articles regarding the movie.
The reporters were writing new articles every second.
”It is just because the reviews of the critics were not that good about «Silly love».”
”Yeah, they called it a usual love comedy with no plot and weak story. Some even say that the film was boring.”
The other reporter clicked his tongue when he heard that and said.
”Although, the reviews were bad, people will definitely choose a love comedy over a spy thriller unless...”
”...….There is something special about it that shocked them.”

Inside the venue, Ren was nervously sitting in his seat.
”What happened? Why are you looking so nervous?”
Noticing his nervousness, Chu Min glanced at him and said.
”Ah, I am just worried about the movie.”
'Worried about the movie?'
Chu Min nearly laughed out when he heard that. The person who had acted so maturely on the set was now nervous before the premiere.
Chu Min felt that it was laughable but he didn't make fun of Ren, instead he said.
”Even you felt nervousness. I am glad that you are feeling it.”
”Huh?? Why are you glad about it?”
Ren let out a confused voice when he heard that.
”No, it's just that, you were acting so mature on the set. There was not a ounce of nervousness at that time but now, you are nervous.”
Ren wanted to retort to that sentence but he didn't did that.
