Chapter 246: The Real Female Lead
Ling Sheng waited in the backstage lounge. Soon, a staff member came to invite her over. She was told that the press conference had started and asked to prepare.
At the press conference, the fans cheered excitedly. The host smiled and said, “Now, let’s invite the female lead of ‘Secret’ to meet everyone.”
When Ling Sheng heard the female lead get introduced, she was waiting to hear her name. However, the host did not say her name. She thought the host had forgotten the lines and kept smiling as she waved her hand and walked up the red carpet.
Below the stage, everyone aimed their cameras at Ling Sheng and started filming.
Ling Sheng’s stage presence was innate. Every single move she made emitted its own aura. When she faced the cameras and flashes, she became more elegant and presentable. Every photo could be perfectly captured from each angle and be used as a screenshot.
Little Fishy, who was the representative of the Peanuts, wanted to have a live broadcast. The number of people on the live-stream exceeded 100,000 in no time and kept increasing.
Huo Xiao, who was wearing a pair of reading gla.s.ses, narrowed his eyes as he looked at the fairy on the screen. “My granddaughter is really pretty. She’s really pretty!”
No matter how fashionable an adjective was, it would not be able to describe her. After all, she was really pretty. She was so pretty that he kept lamenting.
“Hubby, don’t block the view. Stay away from me. I can’t see Sheng Sheng anymore.” Su Xiyin tugged at him, smiling lovingly and gently. “My Sheng Sheng is really pretty. She’s like a fairy.”
The live comments were all praising Ling Sheng’s beauty. The fair-skinned fairy was so pretty that one could not take their eyes off her.
On the stage, the host was dumbfounded and embarra.s.sed. Wasn’t she the popular Ling Sheng who had recently acted in an online drama? Who could ask this pitiful child why she had come on the stage?
During the rehearsals yesterday, she had not been there. Wasn’t the female lead Hua Ying’s eldest daughter, Song Xixi? Had the female lead changed temporarily?
However, as a host with experience, she was still able to control the situation. Very soon, she returned to normal and recited the lines. She smiled and said, “Next, let’s welcome our pretty and adorable female police officer, the actor portraying Tang Jinse, Ms. Song Xi. Where’s the applause?”
The moment the host finished speaking, Song Xi went on stage and looked at Ling Sheng strangely. “Who are you? What are you doing here?”
The incident happened suddenly, but the female lead suddenly was Song Xi. Ling Sheng was also baffled. Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing? What’s happening in front of me?
The venue fell silent. It was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. The awkward atmosphere spread throughout the venue.
The reporters looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.
Why had two female leads suddenly appeared?
Which one was real? Which one was fake?
What were Hua Ying and the film crew up to?
Zhang Zongmin was standing aside. Upon seeing Ling Sheng go on stage, he had smiled in satisfaction. Look, he had chosen the outstanding and adorable female lead.
However, before he could gloat over it, his smile froze. Song Xi had gone on stage. The female lead the host had been calling over was her.
What was going on?
When had Song Xi become the female lead?
The female lead he wanted was obviously Ling Sheng. Hua Ying had agreed to sign the contract!
“She’s Ling Sheng! The one who stole the female leading role in Baby Xi’s movie. Shameless 18th-tier Ling Sheng.”
Amid the silence, someone suddenly shouted from below the stage.
“D*mn, wasn’t s.n.a.t.c.hing that movie enough? Do you want to s.n.a.t.c.h this television drama too?”
“It’s that plastic surgery freak, Ling Sheng. She s.n.a.t.c.hed someone else’s movie after getting plastic surgery. How shameless. Sisters, beat her to death!”
The Xi Fans were outraged. They took the carefully-prepared rotten eggs and vegetables from the gift bags and threw them at Ling Sheng.
