CHAPTER 25: CHAPTER 25: PROMOTION

Tong Yan was quite open-minded. She had been splashed with something worse before she died in her previous life, so she didn’t consider this a big deal. Besides, with this incident happening to Tang Tian, how could she not join in on the fun?

No matter how lively it was outside, Tong Yan continued to post on her Weibo and live her little life. No matter how severely the netizens scolded her, she remained calm.

This unexpected composure made Gu Feng look at her differently. Her mental strength was impressive, not at all like someone who had never acted before.

Half a month later, the Film Association revoked Jin Liang’s directing qualification and announced he was banned from acting for life. Although the participating actors were released by the police due to lack of conclusive evidence, a notice was issued stating that they could not act for three years.

This approach was a warning to others. There were many people in the entertainment industry who turned to drugs due to high pressure. By doing this, they aimed to shock the entertainment circle. Moreover, these actors weren’t famous, so a three-year ban wouldn’t mean much loss.

Three years of not acting? Tong Yan tutted at this; she couldn’t help but feel a bit excited imagining how Tang Tian would react to the news.

Tang Tian returned home from the police station and saw the notice. It was as if the sky had fallen. She smashed everything in the house, her face full of malice, "Tong Yan, Tong Yan, you’re the one who ruined me! If it weren’t for you, how could I end up like this? I suffered all this on your behalf. Why do you get to enjoy all the glory now? To think I even felt guilty for you all this time!"

Selfish and greedy people never see themselves at fault. It’s always someone else’s fault.

Half a month later, Gu Feng came to discuss the upcoming schedule with her. "Young and Reckless" would be released in major cinemas a month later, so the lead actors had to go to various cities for promotion. Tong Yan’s first project as a professional actress was already a film, so her starting point was high.

The first stop was N City. Fengyun Studio set up a stage at the city’s conference center for the press conference. On this day, Tong Yan wore a long white dress, her hair elegantly styled with a ribbon around her waist, adorned with a crystal hairpin, looking like a queen.

She sat beside Yang Wen, with Jiang Yu next to her, and Jiang Shishi on the far left. Jiang Yu winked at her when he saw her.

Tong Yan glanced at the audience below; there were many journalists. As expected, Yang Wen had the capability to invite many well-known online and print media journalists. The host briefly introduced the plot of the film, then introduced Director Yang Wen and the lead actors.

Then came the reporters’ questions. One reporter asked, "Director Yang, which of these lead actors do you think has the best acting skills?" Starting with such a sharp question, really?

Yang Wen answered flawlessly, "This question is like asking if you prefer breakfast, lunch, or dinner; I think they’re all good."

"Director Yang, what made you decide to make this movie?" another reporter asked.

...

In the lively Q&A session, Tong Yan seemed slightly bored but kept smiling while remaining alert in case questions were directed at her.

As expected, "Miss Tong, what do you think about Tang Tian filming under Director Jin Liang?"

The atmosphere cooled down instantly.

Tong Yan smiled at the questioner, "Just like you all think."

"Aren’t you good friends?" the reporter pressed on, "Aren’t you worried about her?"

"We’re all adults; we should know what we can and can’t do. We’re usually quite busy, and it’s been a long time since we last met. I wouldn’t have known she was filming with Director Jin Liang if I hadn’t seen it on TV," Tong Yan replied leisurely.

Before she finished speaking, the flashing lights began to rise one after another.

Journalists also asked Jiang Yu and Jiang Shishi a few questions, keeping the atmosphere relatively pleasant.

As it was about to end, a man walked in from the back, causing an exclamation from everyone present.

Tong Yan followed the direction of their gaze and, for a moment, felt as if time and space had frozen.

Bo Yimo was walking in slowly.

His every appearance was so captivating and unforgettable.

Bo Yimo was an extremely low-profile person. Even though he was famous, he didn’t do interviews or any kind of endorsements. Very little was known about him by outsiders.

Even in her previous life, Tong Yan only knew of Emperor Bo and his rise to fame. She had never heard any scandals about him; his private life was a complete mystery, so low-key that it was almost mysterious.
