Chapter 617: 616. Celebration Banquet 2

Tang Shu paused upon hearing this, not expecting there to be so much involved.

"So, instead of calling it a celebration banquet, isn’t it more like a business gathering to woo investors and actors?"

"Smart!"

"But... what does this have to do with me?"

Was there a need to dress her up, a mere nobody, like a flower?

Tang Shu glanced at her features in the mirror, which looked even more delicate with makeup, but she still couldn’t grasp Luo Lin’s point.

"Starshine Media is interested in investing in a comedy movie, and you want me to negotiate?"

"..."

Luo Lin’s eyes suddenly took on a strange look, and even the makeup artist and stylist in front of her stopped their work, their eyes all focusing on the same person.

"Ancestors, your thought process is really... something else! Do you still remember you’re an actor?"

"I remember."

Tang Shu thought about what she said and suddenly had an epiphany, "I get what you mean now, but it also depends on whether we hit it off. Not every role in the next film will be suitable for me."

Fooled her once, thinking of fooling her a second time?

No way!

Tang Shu was inwardly resistant, but seeing Sister Luo’s eagerly hopeful eyes, she didn’t plan to verbalize her thoughts, mentally crossing off the idea with a big X.

If worse came to worst, she could just avoid that eccentric director tonight.

Imperial City International Hotel, located in the downtown business and leisure area.

This five-star luxury hotel, which incorporated international top business hotel design concepts and decorative art structures, was quite popular and a primary choice for major banquets. If viewed from above, the most blooming section of Imperial City would come into sight, giving a sense of superiority as if one stood at the pinnacle, overlooking all the other peaks.

When the black Volkswagen slowly approached the hotel entrance, the place was brilliantly lit, neon lights flashing rhythmically, luxury cars constantly arriving, the long red carpet gleaming with the continuos flicker of flashbulbs, with dense crowds lining both sides of the carpet, each person holding a camera and shooting photos of the arrivals, the clicking sounds audible even from a distance.

One might think it was the live site of a concert for a pop star.

Looking through the car window, Tang Shu saw several handsome men and beautiful women who had just gotten out of cars, dressed in suits and gowns, smiling and waving at the crowd.

At a glance, she even recognized a few acquaintances, all actors from the crew.

"So many people?"

Indeed, Sister Luo was right. Tonight’s celebration banquet was quite a big deal, likely rocking half of the entertainment circle.

"Yeah, why are there so many people?"

Yang Tiantian, who was attending such an event for the first time with Tang Shu, exclaimed in surprise, as she steadily pulled the car over to the side.

"Boss, we’ve arrived."

"Hmm."

Before Yang Tiantian could get out of the car, Tang Shu’s slender fingers were already on the handle, gently pulling the door open.

Seeing this, Tiantian, who was in front of her, instantly covered her face, "It’s over, I forgot to tell the boss to wait in the car, how could I forget something so important?!"

While chastising herself, Tang Shu, clad in a purple gown, had already stepped out of the car, her white high heels touching the edge of the red carpet.

Under the spotlight, the figure in a purple dress dazzled, skin white as porcelain, a slender neck, a waist so delicate it could be circled with the hands, and slightly curled long hair draped softly over her shoulders, her features exquisitely beautiful.

There was a moment of silence around the red carpet.

A moment later, the clicking of cameras resumed, accompanied by various exclamations and murmurs of surprise.
