Chapter 365: Chapter 365 Promotional event

Found you Across a River’s movie promotional event was organized at Crystal Bloom Convention Hall in downtown Silverpine, City M.

The grand venue was buzzing with energy as fans from all over gathered, eager to catch a glimpse of their favorite stars.

Crowds lined up hours in advance, holding posters, cameras, and handmade gifts. Jackson’s fans filled one side with his signature blue banners, while KK’s loyal followers waved lightsticks and chanted her name. Nina’s fans arrived in elegant dresses inspired by her character, turning the whole place into a lively celebration.

But there was a quiet buzz that hadn’t been there during past events.

"Is Lilith really coming?"

"I heard she confirmed late..."

"I saw her name on the updated guest list!"

Though Lilith hadn’t taken center stage in the trailers, her mysterious aura and sudden rise to attention had drawn curious eyes. People whispered and speculated about her character, her real-life personality, and most of all—what she would look like in person.

The promotional event at Crystal Bloom Convention Hall began with elegance and high-class arrangements.

The entire venue had been transformed into a glamorous setting, with large glass chandeliers lighting the hall in a warm golden glow. Velvet ropes guided attendees along a sleek red carpet and the soft hum of orchestral music played in the background, creating a calm yet exciting atmosphere.

Outside, press booths were lined up near the entrance, their cameras flashing as celebrities arrived one by one. Giant posters of the movie adorned the entrance, while digital screens displayed exclusive behind-the-scenes clips and countdowns to the main event. Uniformed security guards were stationed at every corner, ensuring safety and smooth coordination.

Inside, the main stage was set with a large backdrop featuring the movie title in elegant lettering. Rows of chairs were organized neatly in front of the stage for media, VIP guests, and lucky fans who had won passes through online contests. To the left side of the hall, a small area was arranged for merchandise, photo booths, and snacks themed after the movie.

Hosts and organizers bustled around with clipboards and headsets, checking last-minute details—sound systems, mic testing, lights. The assistant director gave final instructions to the staff, while fan club leaders distributed glow bands and cheer cards to the audience.

The lights dimmed slightly as the emcee finally walked up on stage, dressed sharply in a black suit. With a dazzling smile, he held the mic and greeted the crowd.

"Good evening, everyone! Welcome to the official promotional event of Found you Across a River! Are you ready to meet the cast?"

The hall erupted in cheers.

One by one, the stars began arriving, starting with Nina in a graceful white gown, Jackson in his signature stylish jacket, and KK with her cheerful wave. Each stepped onto the stage to loud applause, answering questions, sharing memories from the filming, and interacting with fans.

Meanwhile, whispers spread through the crowd...

"Is Lilith here yet?"

"She hasn’t come out..."

And just like that, suspense began building for her unexpected entrance.

As the host passed the mic to Nina, she smiled brightly, her dimples showing as she stepped forward in her flowing white gown. The hall quieted a little, everyone eager to hear what she’d say. Nina adjusted the mic and looked around the crowd dramatically, then said in a very serious tone, "Well, first of all... I’d like to thank the director for not cutting my only crying scene. I worked very hard to cry beautifully."

The hall burst into laughter.

Even Jackson chuckled beside her and whispered, "You practiced that for a week."

Nina grinned and nodded. "Exactly! I watched sad cat videos for inspiration. And let me tell you, when that scene aired during the private screening and I saw tears fall in slow motion, I almost cried again—out of pride!"

Everyone laughed again, including the reporters.

She continued, now playing up her silliness. "Also, I just want to say... Jackson owes me a big apology. Do you all remember that river scene where he had to catch me?"

Jackson rubbed the back of his neck, already smiling awkwardly.

Nina pointed at him and said, "He dropped me. In the water. Twice! Not once—twice! I came out looking like a seaweed ghost."

The fans roared with laughter while Jackson held up both hands. "It was slippery!"

"Mmhm," Nina teased. "You’d think after all those gym photos on social media, he’d be able to lift a simple actress!"

KK almost bent over laughing, and even the cameramen were smiling behind their lenses. The whole room filled with warmth and amusement.

Nina then turned to the crowd, smiling sweetly, "But in all seriousness, thank you all for your love. This film means a lot to us. And now..." —she suddenly whispered into the mic— "...let’s all pretend we didn’t see the part where I scream like a goat."

The crowd exploded with laughter again. She handed the mic back with a wink and sat down, proudly patting Jackson on the arm.

When the mic was passed back to Jackson, he took a deep breath, but the moment he glanced at Nina—who was pretending to fix her hair like a diva—he broke into laughter again. He shook his head helplessly and leaned into the mic, chuckling.

"I don’t even know how to follow that," he said, his voice still light with amusement. "She just exposed all my secrets in front of the world."

The crowd laughed louder, some fans already cheering and calling his name.

"I was going to talk about the emotional depth of my character," he added with a playful sigh, "but now all I can think about is how I dropped a screaming seaweed ghost into the river."

Even the camera crew was laughing again.

Jackson looked down, still shaking his head, trying to hold back a smile, but it was no use. The fans, seeing their usually serious idol laughing so freely, began to cheer louder, clapping and whistling.

He looked up with a grin and said, "Let’s just say... the blooper reel is going to be longer than the movie."

As the laughter continued, the host smiled and gestured for the mic to be passed to KK.
