Has Big Shot Fallen in Love Today? - Chapter 773: Competing for Attention and Jealousy
With the consent of Gu Jiahui and Ke Fei, Sheng Tang went to Zheng Weiwei to sign the contract with her.
The film’s revenue settlement might be a bit slow, but that also means Sheng Tang would have financial stability for a long period.
She no longer needed to worry about outfits for events, or buy off-the-rack dresses. She could even order custom-made ones.
The dinner was quite private.
Zheng Weiwei invited her industry friends. After a brief toast, the dinner began.
The event was buffet-style with no assigned seating, so everyone could move around and chat with others.
Sheng Tang wore her little black dress, did a simple hairstyle, and had light makeup on.
Zheng Weiwei introduced several directors and producers to her.
"...Sheng Tang’s acting skills are undeniable. Anyone who has seen her films knows this. Most importantly, she’s lucky and brings good fortune to movies," said Zheng Weiwei.
Sheng Tang: "..."
To be honest, such superstitious talk felt a bit awkward.
However, Zheng Weiwei’s effort to promote her made Sheng Tang feel very warm inside.
After Gu Jiahui and Ke Fei, Zheng Weiwei was the third benefactor for Sheng Tang.
The directors and producers who heard Zheng Weiwei’s "superstitious theory" just smiled it off without taking it seriously.
The film industry can be superstitious, but being superstitious doesn’t mean being a fool.
They might pray to a clay statue but wouldn’t treat Sheng Tang like a VIP for that reason.
In addition to directors and producers, Zheng Weiwei also introduced a senior executive from a film production company to Sheng Tang.
All evening, Zheng Weiwei accompanied Sheng Tang as she socialized. Guests who respected Zheng Weiwei naturally treated Sheng Tang kindly.
Meanwhile, the other two leads—Wen Yu and William—were left aside by Zheng Weiwei.
Wen Yu felt indignant and disappointed.
She had clearly starred in a blockbuster movie, yet Zheng Weiwei only promoted Sheng Tang, praising her in all publicity as "beautiful, talented, with a keen fashion sense."
Even though Sheng Tang’s little black G&R dress was just a classic piece, many fashion editors on-site complimented her taste.
What nonsense! It was just a classic black dress; there was no taste involved.
It’s just that she’s beautiful, making any outfit look good on her. Moreover, she’s a graduate of S City’s Film Academy, which made fashion circles consider her elegant and highly educated.
Wen Yu was unhappy, but William didn’t mind much.
Recently, William received invites for more film auditions and was pretty satisfied with his current progress.
Someone walked up to him.
William was a bit surprised, thinking the person was a colleague, as he was a very handsome young man in a tailored suit, exuding elegance.
"Hi, I’m William," William greeted him proactively.
The other person shook his hand, "Gu Jiahui."
"Are you also an actor?"
"No, I’m just a companion," Gu Jiahui’s attitude was aloof.
William asked whose companion he was.
"Sheng Tang’s," Gu Jiahui replied.
William: "..."
He didn’t expect Sister Tang to have such good taste, even her boyfriend was a god-tier handsome guy.
In Singapore, William received tremendous adoration; after his role in a film, despite having limited screen time, he was idolized by fervent fans.
He felt that Gu Jiahui’s looks and aura did not lose to his own.
"Sister Tang has helped me a lot." William expressed his gratitude, "I owe my performance in this role to her."
Gu Jiahui finally showed a sincere smile.
