117 A TONE OF SUDDEN EPIPHANY (1/2)

Hu Lei thought that the press conference would be a daunting experience. However, nothing unusual happened. The reporters directed most of their questions to the celebrities. She only got to speak a little about The Queen of the Apocalypse.

One of the reporters asked about her long absence from the industry, and she cited personal circumstances which took her out of the country. All in all, the event was successful. Still, she was glad when everything was concluded.

For a person like her, the limelight felt a little too bright. It would probably take some time to get used to being in front of people. It was not like she had qualms about fame exactly. It was just an occupational peculiarity from her old life.

”Ms Little Ninja Cat, I am a big fan.” The woman who had been seated on her left spoke as soon as the conference was concluded.

”Thank you.” She smiled.

”I am Qi Mu, the scriptwriter. I had a really wonderful time with your book.” Her eyes twinkled.

Hu Lei's lips twitched at the woman's enthusiasm.

”Thank you. I look forward to seeing your work.” She responded.

Before the woman could continue talking, the producer and director also came to have a few words. Hu Lei did not know anything about movies. She only knew how to watch, enjoy and mostly, criticise. However, she did not doubt that Zhong Feng had ensured that only the best would go into the movie.

Therefore, she spoke some words of praise to the people.

When she was about to leave, the actors also came to talk to her. It seemed that her quick escape would not occur. She wanted to leave as soon as possible because she had another event to attend. More importantly, she was feeling a little claustrophobic.

It was not that the backstage of the conference hall was small. It was the people. When she was surrounded by people who came close to her personal space, she felt trapped and suffocated. It was like they were stretching their hands towards her like hungry zombies.

She was afraid that if she continued to be surrounded, she would be unable to breath.

”It is a pleasure to meet the author of such a wonderful story.” Bei Gong Hai spoke with a charming smile.

It seemed that he was the squad leader. The other two smiled politely at her in a sign of agreement.

”Thank you. I look forward to seeing the movie. You all seem to be doing a great job” She responded with a composed smile.

Her corporate etiquette had not deteriorated in the least. Even though she had been employed for a couple of weeks years ago, she had not reverted into a cave woman. Her interpersonal skills were still top-notch.

”Why wait for so long? We are in the final stages of filming. You can come to the set for a day.” The man said with a tone of sudden epiphany.

However, Hu Lei did not think that the idea was so sudden.

”That would be wonderful. You can give your input on the finale.” The director nodded in approval of the suggestion.

”You can also take a look at the script.” Qi Mu added.
