Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Two days passed by very quickly. Due to the fact that they were busy selecting the cast, Wonderland was a hot topic. The public was awaiting Zhi Ya Entertainment’s response to recent events.
Zhi Ya Entertainment publicly announced that they would explain everything during the press conference. At the same time, they would also confirm the main team and the cast members of the movie.
It was now less than an hour until the press conference was due to start. Many reporters had already arrived and they all held up their cameras, ready for the press conference to begin.
In the dressing room, Yi Tian looked at herself in the mirror, satisfied. She wore an elegant, gold dress. Of all of the female artists in the waiting room, she shone the brightest.
Shan Feifei sat there too, equally as excited and full of anticipation. Since she was attending the press conference, it must mean that she was to be cast as the movie’s second lead.
Director Kong and the other directors in the main team sat on the sofa. Without Ling Tianya and her right of priority pick, they had been able to replace Guan Meiyi as the female lead, and everything seemed to be going smoothly.
Just then, Bai Guanghui anxiously walked in and, seeing Director Kong and the others sitting there leisurely, became extremely angry. “Just look at the time! Why are you all so relaxed?”
Director Kong hesitated. “What’s going on, Director Baify? Isn’t it just a normal press conference? You don’t need to be so anxious, do you?”
Bai Guanghui glared at Director Kong. “Chairman Cheng has just called to say he is on his way back. He will personally take charge of the press conference!”
“What? Chairman Cheng will personally take charge?” Director Kong shouted in shock, allowing everyone in the rest area to overhear.
Cheng Chen was Zhi Ya Entertainment’s current Chairman. He had been on a business trip for a long time. Now, he had suddenly returned and declared that he would personally take charge of the press conference.
Everyone was in a state of disbelief. Chairman Cheng was the Chairman of Zhi Ya Entertainment and from an upper-class background. In the company, he had absolute decision-making power. Even Director Baifu had a hard time simply getting an appointment with him.
Today was simply an ordinary press conference. As the Corporation Chairman, why would he personally take charge of it?
“Is it because this movie has caused such a large commotion online and has caused so much negative information to surface? Chairman Cheng is angry and thus wants to personally take charge of the press conference. Do you think so?” Director Kong asked anxiously.
“You ask me; who shall I ask?” Bai Guanghui scoffed. “It doesn’t matter anyway. Chairman Cheng will be arriving at any moment. You all need to be extremely alert and make sure that nothing goes wrong during the press conference!”
Bai Guanghui’s gaze was extremely stern and the expressions of everyone in the rest area also became solemn. Since the corporation chairman was coming back to take charge, this movie must be gaining immense attention from the corporation. They must all perform their roles to the best of their ability. Failure was not an option.
The time had arrived and all of the reporters were seated, waiting for the press conference to begin.
The press conference was held at a large venue. The reporters were seated at the back. The movie’s main team and cast sat in the first two rows.
The MC was already on stage and announced that the press conference was about to begin.
Bai Guanghui, Yi Tian, Director Kong, and the others were sitting in the first two rows. Just then, the doors to the press conference opened and Ling Tianya walked in with Guan Meiyi. The reporters immediately stood up and rushed over to them.
Big One and Small One stood behind Ling Tianya, looking at the reporters vigilantly and preventing them from touching Ling Tianya.
Bai Guanghui and the others looked at Ling Tianya and Guan Meiyi in disbelief. Why were there here? How did they get in?”
“Screenwriter Ling, you have left the main team. Guan Meiyi is also no longer the female lead. You guys can’t be here today!” Bai Guanghui said bluntly in front of all of the reporters.
Ling Tianya ignored Bai Guanghui and walked to an empty seat. She sat down with Guan Meiyi next to her.
“Why are you here?” Shan Feifei asked Ling Tianya, who was sitting beside her.
Ling Tianya was in a good mood and she turned to look at Shan Feifei. “I told you earlier: before you have enough power, no matter what you do, you should leave yourself a back exit because you never know your opponent’s last card.”
