Chapter 452: Chapter 356: This Autumn
Led by Director Kang Xin, other guests also shared their impressions of the film.
All were praises.
The premiere ended there, and the media scurried back to work overtime on their articles.
Yao Yuanfeng organized a party, inviting everyone from the industry who graced the screening today to celebrate together.
The premiere had media and audiences; it was a public event. The party, however, was a completely private gathering.
Yuk Chu excitedly grabbed Zhou Yun’s hand, saying, "When did your acting get so good! I’m so jealous!"
Yuk Chu’s reaction brought great comfort to Zhou Yun.
Getting approval from a good friend is an irreplaceable kind of recognition.
Zhou Yun hugged Yuk Chu, saying, "Thanks for coming to support me today, love you."
Yuk Chu: "Oh my, don’t start with the love talk, I love you too."
At that moment, Gu Huaichun popped up and said, "Why don’t you two just hold hands and go to bed? Want me to get a room for you?"
Zhou Yun sent a sharp glance his way, "Do you need me to seal your mouth shut with tape?"
Gu Huaichun laughed wickedly, not at all like the handsome and sunny celebrity the public knew, but like an ordinary, playful, and cheeky college student, "Here I am, offering to get a room for you out of the kindness of my heart, and you don’t appreciate it. It’s just heartbreaking; I’m wounded."
Zhou Yun rolled her eyes.
Song Chi had been called aside by Yao Yuanfeng for a chat and only now approached.
He was dressed in a tailored black suit, his hair styled very Young Boy by the stylist, looking very much like the young nobles described in novels.
But Song Chi was never a young nobleman and, Zhou Yun vaguely felt, like her, he didn’t particularly like that type of public persona.
Song Chi could certainly appear before everyone, finely and elegantly crafted by the stylist’s magic touch, but he would never move closer to that image; he would genuinely loosen his black tie, display a set of clean and neat teeth as he smiled, and just when you thought his image would remain that perfect, he’d pull a genuinely goofy face at you.
"What are you guys talking about?" he asked.
Zhou Yun hadn’t had the chance to respond before Gu Huaichun complained first, "Your girlfriend’s sharp tongue has hurt my heart."
Zhou Yun rolled her eyes again.
But Song Chi wrapped an arm around Zhou Yun’s waist, his expression gentle, saying, "Well done."
Gu Huaichun stared in disbelief, making several "hey, hey, hey" noises in distress, "You’re cut from the same cloth, a dark-hearted couple. No wonder you two are together; as the saying goes, ’Birds of a feather flock together.’"
Zhou Yun smiled proudly, very satisfied with Song Chi’s response, "The people’s eyes are sharp; with your personality, you’ll never get on well anywhere."
Yuk Chu’s laughter rang out like silver bells.
"I really shouldn’t have come tonight," Gu Huaichun said, rolling his eyes.
At this point, Yin Zhou suddenly appeared. He arrived fashionably late, entering the crowd with a gentle smile towards Zhou Yun, saying, "Sorry, I hurried but still didn’t make it to the premiere. Congratulations, I heard everyone loved the movie."
"You finally made it!" Zhou Yun exclaimed with surprise, "I thought you couldn’t come today."
Yin Zhou was filming with a drama crew; earlier, Gu Huaichun had mentioned he probably couldn’t find the time.
But Zhou Yun still sent Yin Zhou an invite. After all, when they were filming "Eighth Heartbeat," she and Yin Zhou got along well, as friends. Even if he couldn’t come, Zhou Yun still wanted to extend her invitation.
Yin Zhou smiled and said, "I was also surprised; the director finally agreed."
"Have some food first, you must be hungry." Zhou Yun looked Yin Zhou over and turned to Gu Huaichun, asking, "Has Yin Zhou lost a lot of weight?"
Gu Huaichun nodded, "Yes, I think so too."
Yin Zhou shrugged, "Had no choice; the director said getting thinner would look better on camera for the period drama, so I had to force myself to lose some weight."
"That’s true." Song Chi continued, "Before I filmed ’Heart Inquiry,’ the only request Director Kang had for me was to lose more weight, saying I looked like a bun on camera."
"You’re already so thin and you still looked like a bun?" Yuk Chu said incredulously, her eyes wide, "You male actors are going to make it impossible for us female actors to survive, aren’t you?"
