Chapter 563: Chapter 563: Just Want to Upstage!

Are you kidding me? They originally thought they were just attending a normal film premiere press conference, but who knew there would be such juicy news to capture? They couldn’t wish for more of this kind of topic-driven, page-filling celebrity feud news. Where else would their traffic come from?
After the host announced that there was a mystery guest at the event, and then revealed that the guest was Rong Weiwei, not just the media reporters, but also the creators at the scene exchanged complex, surprised looks, seeing disbelief in each other’s eyes.
The producer, who was kept in the dark, turned pale. If he hadn’t been sitting on stage, with a screenwriter between him and the director, he would have likely directly questioned the director about what was happening.
But he was sitting alone on one side, and with so many reporters present, even if he wanted to, it wasn’t appropriate to halt the film premiere at this moment.
After all, abruptly stopping the film premiere press conference would only make the situation worse. The news would then focus on the chaos of the press conference, and nobody would really pay attention to the film itself.
He could only bitterly hold his breath and watch as Rong Weiwei, meticulously dressed in a pink fairy-tale dress, gracefully walked out from backstage, smiling as she accepted the flashes from the photographers’ cameras.
“Hello everyone, I am Rong Weiwei.”
“Welcome, our Weiwei. Weiwei, please take a seat first.”
Whether it was intentional or not, the host led a radiant Rong Weiwei to sit right next to a young heartthrob who played Rong Yan’s love interest in the film.
With Weiwei taking her seat, in the eyes of the reporters, she directly took a position facing Rong Yan, one on the left and one on the right. It wasn’t clear if Weiwei had truly forgotten her embarrassment from a few days ago or was just pretending in front of the reporters. Her slightly lifted chin radiated confidence, as though she had entirely forgotten her recent distress and was unaware of how much attention she was drawing. She even waved to the reporters below.
The camera flashes clicked even more fiercely!
In terms of facial features, she wasn’t in the same league as Rong Yan. But she always knew how to showcase her strengths; today, her makeup and stylist had carefully prepared her look, giving the impression she was trying to outshine Rong Yan.
She hadn’t acted in the film but showed up ostentatiously for the premiere. It was obvious to anyone with a discerning eye that she had dressed up to steal the spotlight.
Backstage, Estelle saw the person who had suddenly shown up and her usually efficient expression suddenly darkened. She grabbed a staff member on-site and asked, “What’s going on? How come we didn’t know about this part at the beginning?”
What was the director thinking?
Everyone in the circle knew that they had a bad relationship with Rong Weiwei, and it had even escalated recently when it was thought that HuanYu had directly brought their online army argument into the open.
By inviting Rong Weiwei as a promotional guest at this time, wasn’t the director slapping them in the face?
What was even more outrageous was that she, as an agent, had no idea there would be such a last-minute segment during the premiere! In other words, the director and the production company hadn’t discussed it with them at all, instead secretly inviting Rong Weiwei.
And since Weiwei had come, one could guess that it definitely wasn’t for anything good!
Estelle was furious.
The director was clearly bullying them on purpose!
The staff member she had grabbed looked confused and bitten his lip as he explained, “I, I didn’t know either. The director didn’t mention it to me.”
Just then, the reporters down below started to stir, and someone suddenly asked loudly, “Weiwei, I remember there was news that you were going to star in “Three Kingdoms”. Can you tell us why you didn’t end up taking part in it?”
