Superstar's Development Diary
Chapter 161: The Right Way to Meet an Idol

Chapter 161: Chapter 161: The Right Way to Meet an Idol

Ignoring the unflinching glances of the other actors in the cast, Deng Zhaoyan kept her eyes only on Sheng Yan, occasionally lowering her head to hide the defiant glint of determination in her eyes.

Sheng Yan was a superstar, with an influence greater than dozens of top stars combined. The fact that he would pay any attention to her at all was already more than satisfactory to her.

Although his answers were brief, given Sheng Yan’s status, no star in the circle would think his demeanor arrogant.

After the cast dinner ended, Sheng Yan was the first to leave the scene and went to the hotel.

Zhang Ming and a group of assistants and bodyguards were already waiting outside the hotel. They escorted Sheng Yan into the elevator and went up to the top floor.

Zhang Ming spoke as they walked, "It’s getting quite late to enter Film City now. Thankfully, Film City was built not long ago, and there aren’t many crews filming here, so there’s still a decent availability of hotel rooms.

After coordination, I cleared all the rooms on the top floor for you. The stars staying on the top floor will move to a lower floor by tonight.

Oh, one important thing is that the hotel has just been renovated and is temporarily not providing food and lodging. All the crews are booking local farmhouses to cook meals, and I heard the taste isn’t very good. Apart from the food issue, everything else is fine."

As they walked, they came face to face with two people.

One was a tough female assistant, carrying large and small bags and dragging a suitcase, and the other was a female star with a small backpack, munching on a big packet of potato chips.

If he wasn’t mistaken, the female star also had a big bag of... snacks hanging from her wrist?

Sheng Yan’s entourage paused in their steps, struck by how accurate Zhang Ming’s comments were. He had just mentioned the poor food quality, and there appeared a female star laden with snacks.

When the two parties collided in the hallway, Sheng Yan’s entourage felt indifferent, but Huang Yuanyuan felt extremely awkward!

Oh my god, Emperor Sheng had seen her eating snacks. What if it left a bad impression on him?!

No, no, what should she say now that Emperor Sheng appeared? It was her first time seeing a superstar from such a close distance!

Huang Yuanyuan’s mind was crashing.

After a moment of silence, it was Sheng Yan who broke the silence by asking Huang Yuanyuan, "Is the food here really that bad?"

Huang Yuanyuan instinctively nodded, then realizing, she shook her head vehemently, "It’s not exactly bad, it’s just that I’m not quite used to it. Maybe Emperor Sheng, you can adapt to it, oh, I mean, it’s normal if Emperor Sheng can’t adapt..."

Huang Yuanyuan felt that her speech was becoming incoherent.

After she finished talking, Sheng Yan responded placidly, "Hmm, I see. I wish you success with your work."

Huang Yuanyuan immediately bowed at ninety degrees, excitedly saying, "Thank you for your encouragement, senior!"

She immediately stepped aside, gesturing forward with her hand, "Please, senior, go ahead!"

This was indeed the proper way for a fan to react upon meeting their idol.

After Sheng Yan and his group passed, Huang Yuanyuan stared blankly at the now invisible figure, lost in a daze.

The female assistant waited a while but when Huang Yuanyuan didn’t budge, she asked, "Sister Yuan Yuan, Sister Yuan Yuan?"

Huang Yuanyuan waved her hand, signaling her not to disturb, and continued staring into the void, muttering, "Don’t disturb me, let me be quiet. I just saw Sheng Yan... I actually spoke to him..."

Female assistant: ???

"My Emperor Sheng is truly handsome!" Huang Yuanyuan’s voice floated eerily.

The female assistant silently nodded.

"How can my Emperor Sheng be so perfect!"

The female assistant continued nodding.

"My Emperor Sheng excels both in acting and in beauty!"

The female assistant still nodded.

"My Brother Sheng Yan—"

"Sister Yuan Yuan, it’s already one o’clock," the female assistant said softly.

Huang Yuanyuan smacked her lips, shook her body, and cheered up again, holding onto the bag of chips and walked out with high spirits, crunching loudly.

"Let’s go, after changing rooms, focus on shooting the film. One day, I’ll share the stage with Emperor Sheng!"

When Sheng Yan arrived at Film City, it wasn’t just He Jinxia’s crew that was affected; other crews shooting there were impacted as well.

Like a whirlwind, it caught everyone off guard and had already wreaked considerable havoc just as it started.

In the evening, He Jinxia left the crew and passed by the center of Film City. Looking out the window at the bustling crowd, seven out of ten conversations were about Sheng Yan.

Her phone vibrated "buzz buzz", He Jinxia checked, and it was Aunt Rui chatting in a WeChat group, continuing the afternoon’s topic.

That afternoon, while she was shooting, the two aging mothers had already revealed Sheng Yan’s purpose to Film City.

The media couldn’t hide the news of Sheng Yan entering Film City. No sooner had he arrived than the media released reports, speculating about his reasons.

The news about him flooded everywhere, and as soon as Aunt Rui and Mrs. He opened their browsers, they saw it.

As an actor, the most likely reason for Sheng Yan to visit Film City was to film a movie, but since Sheng Yan had taken a whole year off and seemed to be hinting at retirement, and considering that last year he had also visited Film City a few times but only to see friends—

so this time, without confirmed news, the media didn’t dare make bold claims that Sheng Yan was there to shoot a new film; instead, they speculated he might be shooting.

He Jinxia, stealing time amidst her busy schedule, saw that both mothers had been chatting all afternoon. From Aunt Rui, she got the correct answer: Sheng Yan wasn’t there possibly to film; he was definitely there to shoot a movie.

At that moment in the WeChat group, Sheng Yan popped in, and his first message was asking He Jinxia about her hotel location, and he mentioned her.

In front of the whole group, He Jinxia couldn’t simply ignore him and tapped out a line with a smile before sending it off.

Aunt Rui and her mother also popped up in the chat, discussing back and forth.

Aunt Rui, "That’s great, Yan can take care of Jinxia in Film City."

Mrs. He, "No need, no need, their filming scenes are different, they’re both so busy every day, it’s not necessary to bother like this."

Sheng Yan, "Auntie, I don’t start filming until three days later."

— The implication being, I’m quite free.

Aunt Rui, "Hahaha, that’s just perfect, you can ask Jinxia out to have some fun together!"

Mrs. He, "No need, no need, Jinxia has to film every day and is very busy too, the two probably can’t match their schedules."

He Jinxia, "Mom, I’m almost done with my parts too, my schedule is fairly relaxed."

— The subconscious implication being, I’m not busy.

Mrs. He: [wipe sweat.jpg]

Their every spoken word seemed to dismantle each other’s efforts, it was so exhausting...

Then Mrs. He fell silent, while Aunt Rui cheerfully continued to arrange for them to meet up.

On the surface, He Jinxia naturally agreed, but her words were cautious: "Auntie, I’ll look for Brother Sheng Yan when I have time!"

The precondition being, if I have the time, that is~

He Jinxia put down her phone, turned her head to look out the window at the scenery, her eyes and brows curved in a smile, just like a little fox.
