Chapter 161: Chapter 161: Mysterious, Low-Key, with a Strong Backing

On the opening day of the White Magnolia Film Festival, Delphine was dragged out of bed by Kyla Zamora at six in the morning.

Jason sashayed in just as the stylist was applying makeup to her.

"These Germanic folks are so damn boring." Jason stormed into the suite indignantly. It was his first time attending the festival, and he’d been too excited to sleep all night. He had roped in the crew to wander the hotel, only to experience the cold and methodical demeanor of the Germanic people, and returned sulking.

"You don’t even speak the language, what kind of wandering are you doing?" Kyla rolled her eyes and shot back, "Did you post that PR release I told you to post yesterday?"

"Posted it, posted it." Jason gleefully presented his tablet and leaned in front of Delphine with a fawning smile, "Little Delphine, today’s South Seas entertainment section is all about us!"

Delphine tilted her neck while seated on the chair, unable to move much. She only skimmed it for a few seconds, and sure enough, it was packed with festival-related coverage, including pieces on her. Even her airport casual outfit photos had triggered comparisons with several trending starlets, stirring up quite a buzz. Add to that the mainstream entertainment channels, which were closely tracking reports about the festival.

As the only Chinese-language film in contention, the project seemed to carry the weight of envy, admiration, and a complex mix of expectations from the domestic film industry.

"Little Delphine, this PR release was written by me! The topic’s already climbed to number one. Hurry, praise me." Jason cheerfully clicked on the trending tag he initiated.

Delphine leaned in for a better look and burst into laughter. Jason hadn’t let go of her airport outfit, capitalizing on it by discussing the fashion world’s designer brands and connecting her skirt to this buzz.

Debate underneath the topic was fierce. One camp claimed she was wearing flea-market goods—it’s well-known that a barely-there celebrity couldn’t afford luxury brands. The other camp insisted her outfit was crafted by a master designer.

Someone actually tracked down a similar style by a low-profile Italian craftsman, renowned for exclusively serving Royal House aristocrats. Naturally, this theory was immediately besieged by skeptical netizens.

Overall, her name had dominated the Weibo trending topics.

Some even dug into her past and discovered that aside from a minor role she played earlier, she had virtually no filmography—no participation in variety shows, no acceptance of interviews.

Her first movie’s roadshow was completely skipped, yet her unparalleled beauty in the industry led her to star as the female lead in Theodore Hughes’ second film, successfully breaking into the international film festival circuit.

Delphine’s persona in the industry had essentially been locked in: mysterious, low-profile, backed by an ironclad support system.

"Not bad," Kyla, in the midst of her busy schedule, glanced briefly at the tablet and praised her with a grin, "We’ve received interview requests from over ten leading domestic media outlets, as well as one Germanic fashion magazine wanting an exclusive with you."

Kyla was practically glowing with satisfaction as she accepted the flood of olive branch offers.

Before long, Bartholomew knocked on the door and entered excitedly. "You guys sure are up early. I just went by Director Hughes’ room; he actually cut off the braid he’s been keeping for seven or eight years and is shaving now."

Kyla spotted the young, earnest Bartholomew staring unabashedly at Delphine, who was in the middle of her makeup application. No amount of effort could hide the joy brimming in his eyes. She sighed.

She could tell at a glance that Bartholomew had genuinely fallen for little Delphine. What a shame though—it was doomed to failure before it even started. In the South Seas, who would dare to try stealing from Mr. Li?
