The way the audience burst out clapping once again for Feng Xinying, it made Ru s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ even shrink further. But she clapped with the audience. When the clapping ended, they all sat down comfortably. Feng Xinying looked very confident of herself. She glanced at Ru s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ wondering if she was again up to any of her lowly tricks but she found that Ru s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ looked subdued.
The emcee then turned to Ru s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ and asked her, "Miss s.h.i.+s.h.i.+, do you have anything to say to the audience."
Ru s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ nodded and the emcee pa.s.sed her the mic. She smiled cutely at the audience and then she got up from her place. She walked to Feng Xinying and extended her hand to her. What was she up to now, thought Feng Xinying.
Since it was a live show, Feng Xinying had to hold her hand. Ru s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ pulled her and ramp walked to the front of the stage. It appeared as though she was trying to show the audience who was younger and more beautiful. Ru s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ was wearing a yellow short dress that was just above her thighs and off the shoulders. When she stood with Feng Xinying, she was obviously looking younger and cuter whereas Feng Xinying was looking more mature like a woman.
The TV channels couldn"t help but notice it and focused their cameras on the two of them. One of the commentators even remarked how similar the two of them looked but Feng Xinying had more defined features. He commented that perhaps she looked like Ru s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ when she was eighteen.
Ru s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ brought the mic close to her mouth to speak. She was still holding Feng Xinying"s hand. "Although I am happy that my senior here has such a fantastic movie in her lap, I have to caution her that élan and grace are totally different from acting. I have only one short advice for her, she should mix the two of them and only then her movie would be a success."
Ru s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ actually meant that Feng Xinying was very crude with the way she acted in the movie and carried herself. There was no refinement in her acting.
Ru s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ continued, "I had been to the sets of the movie and have seen senior Wu Bosun working in it. I have to say that he is a lovely person to be with and he has taught me a lot." Ru s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ looked at Wu Bosun and said, "You got to teach some of those skills to Feng Xinying too. After all she had never been to an acting school."
Some of the audience, who were enjoying this b.i.t.c.hiness, started laughing.
"Well, what I can say more?" said Ru s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ joining in the laughter. "I have joined the acting cla.s.ses before joining the movies. It is important that one knows the art before plunging yourself professionally into it."
The audience started murmuring that yes it is important. Without any experience how would Feng Xinying even fair into this?
Standing behind, Wu Bosun was feeling very angry with Ru s.h.i.+s.h.i.+. She was actually sabotaging their promotion. He rushed to the side of Feng Xinying who looked slightly on a back foot now.
Feng Xinying was looking sheepish. Ru s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ really had plans to sabotage her image. Ru s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ started laughing with the audience and then looked at Feng Xinying. She winked at her almost telling how would she answer that.
Suddenly a deep throaty voice came from the audience. "Miss Feng Xinying, weren"t you an international repute model in America before you came here?"
Feng Xinying looked up in surprise to see where the voice was coming from. There was so much light thrown on their faces that she couldn"t see him. She took the mic from Ru s.h.i.+s.h.i.+, who was also looking shocked.
Feng Xinying chuckled at Xie Yuansheng"s question. Her hubby chose to see her interview instead of going back home. She held mic close to her face and spoke in a crispy voice, "Yes, I had been a model in America for five years before I came here. I have done numerous ads and had walked on fas.h.i.+on ramps. I had been a show stopper for the past one year. That kind of exposure has given me the relevant experience to take a giant leap in the world of movies." Ru s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ couldn"t refute that and looked small.
Feng Xinying looked at Ru s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ and said, "However, I would like to thank Miss s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ for bringing up the topic in front of you all because otherwise my fans wouldn"t have come to know that I was a model."
Then she looked at the audience. "Tomorrow I shall pa.s.s some pictures to my agency that were taken during my past a.s.signments and they will post it on my social media account for all of you to see."
Wu Bosun looked satisfied that the promotion was salvaged so elegantly. Ru s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ smiled sweetly and bowed. Feng Xinying made a sign of heart towards the man who had sent that question to her, which the audience mistook that it was for them and they whistled and cheered her.
Soon the partic.i.p.ants of the talent show came on the stage and emcee became busy with them.
Ru s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ excused herself and exited the show.
