Chapter 647 - Making It Seem As if Other People Didn’t Have Some Kind of Background
However, her dignity was something that she was born with. Even if she were to enter an impasse, she would still have her pride, which she wouldn’t be able to let go of!
The Feng Wuluan in this lifetime was how Su Manman had acted her out to be—dispirited, disheartened, and extremely disappointed.
Shu Xin covered her mouth with her hand, and tears almost charged out from her eyes.
This was the first time that the actresses who played the characters from one of her novels let her feel so agitated with their performances!
Due to the lack of time, there was only one round of rehearsals. After going through everything briefly, Lin Nuan and Su Manman went to touch up their makeup. In the meantime, the audience members were allowed to enter steadily.
There were quite a number of fans of the few main leads, but what Lin Nuan hadn’t expected was that there were actually fans of hers who were holding up placards and banners to support her. The number of her fans didn’t appear to be any less than those of Su Manman and the male lead, Song Cheng!
The host was still starting up the show in front…
Lin Nuan was sneaking a peek from the backstage when Su Manman caught her in the act. The two of them poked out their heads like children to sneak a look at the audience, and Su Manman smiled. “How do you feel? Are you agitated to see that there are fans who are here to support you?”
Lin Nuan smiled and nodded. “En, I do feel a little agitated!”
“When I saw my fans for the first time, my heart felt as if it was going to jump out of my chest. I was afraid that I’d do something bad and that they’d end up not liking me!” Su Manman pouted. “Thinking back on it, I was really pathetic.”
Hearing the host getting everyone to take a look at the most memorable scene in “The Exorcist”, both Lin Nuan and Su Manman went back to their respective spots.
When Lin Nuan and Su Manman rose up together and said the classic line, all of the audience members present shared the same feeling that Shu Xin had earlier. They broke out in goosebumps, feeling as if they had been instantly dragged into the scene from the novel.
Lin Nuan stood on the left side of the stage, and Feng Wuluan’s previous life appeared before everyone with unrivaled beauty. Her great beauty seemed to glow with light and was so shiny that it was hard to neglect her.
She, together with the well-known femme fatale… the huge celebrity, Su Manman, who was said to be a destroyer of group photos, stood on the same stage. Yet, she didn’t seem to be inferior in the least and instead emitted an exquisite and cold disposition from her bones, making one’s heart palpitate.
Amidst the applause of the host and the audience, Lin Nuan and Su Manman, as well as the male lead, Song Cheng, and other supporting actors and actresses… gathered into a group and moved to the center of the stage.
Su Manman was holding onto a microphone. She was very familiar with such variety shows and greeted everyone naturally and with poise. “Hello everyone, I’m Su Manman, also Feng Wuluan. Paying respect to everyone present!”
Su Manman bent and bowed as she did in the movie, appearing with a valiant demeanor. A loud round of applause and shrieks rang out with waves of “Su Manman… Su Manman!” shouts ringing out, each wave being louder than the one before!
The male lead, Song Cheng, had a good voice and was well-known in the circle for having an alluring, low, and deep voice. Therefore, the moment Song Cheng spoke up, all of the young ladies started screaming.
Lin Nuan went into a slight daze after listening to Song Cheng’s voice. She thought of Fu Huai’an and felt that the praise for Song Cheng’s voice on the internet was a little overboard. Lin Nuan felt that only Fu Huai’an’s voice could truly impregnate someone who heard it.
It was deep, low, and powerful, filled with allure and power. That was really what the best male voice sounded like, with no others being comparable.
When the microphone reached Lin Nuan, she almost instinctively looked toward the camera due to being accustomed to being a host. She smiled. “I’m Lin Nuan, and I play the role of Feng Wuluan’s previous life. I hope that everyone supports our movie, ‘The Exorcist’!”
Lin Nuan had her own style on stage, and even though what she said sounded very official, it still gave off the feeling of being unique.
Lin Nuan’s fans brought forth another surging wave as they screamed out her name. There was even someone shouting, “Lin Nuan, I love you!”
The host laughed. “I seem to have heard one of Nuan Nuan’s male fans screaming that they love her! Have you guys heard? It’s said that Nuan Nuan’s husband, Mr. Fu, is also here today. Isn’t that male fan scared of being beaten up?”
The host spoke humorously, causing everyone to break out into laughter…
The male fan was very brave, and he stood up, cupped his hands together like a loudspeaker, and shouted toward the stage, “Lin Nuan… I’m your greatest fan! I’ve been…”
When the director saw that, he sent someone to pass a microphone to that fan. The fan quickly thanked the staff member, took the microphone, and shouted once again. However, he ended up being too nervous and scrambled up what he wanted to say. “Lin Nuan, you’re my greatest fan…”
Everyone broke out into laughter, and even Lin Nuan couldn’t help but laugh. She nodded. “En! I know. It’s true that I’m your fan… You’re the listener whose Wechat name is ‘I Love Radio’. I remember your voice! All of the long comments that you posted on our radio station’s website were very pertinent and demonstrated remarkable literary talent! I really hold great admiration for you!”
Lin Nuan’s words caused the male fan’s eyes to turn red.
This male fan aside, even the eyes of Lin Nuan’s other fans had also turned red. They hadn’t expected that such a small and insignificant group of fans like them would be remembered by Lin Nuan.
The male fan hadn’t expected that Lin Nuan would know him. He became so agitated that he almost teared up, and he nodded heavily. “I didn’t expect my idol to remember me! It’s me! I started liking you back when you were doing radio programs!”
Lin Nuan nodded and did a 90-degree bow. “Thank you for your continuous support!”
After this short episode, Lin Nuan passed the microphone to the female supporting character in “The Exorcist”.
The female supporting character in “The Exorcist” was a newcomer called Qin Jiao, who had a little bit of a reputation. After she had done her introduction, the cheers she received were clearly not as loud as the ones for the male and female leads as well as for Lin Nuan…
Qin Jiao was a student who was only in her early twenties, an age where people tended to be young and arrogant. She couldn’t stand the big difference, and although she was still smiling, her gaze was clearly not as bright as before.
Everyone in the production team could tell that the director was giving special treatment to Lin Nuan.
Qin Jiao silently murmured in her heart that if it wasn’t because Lin Nuan had a good husband, why would the director try to get into her good books? It made it seem as if other people didn’t have some kind of background. She also had an amazing godfather herself!
The important actors and actresses who had played a role in “The Exorcist”, as well as Director Chen and the original author, Shu Xin, all took turns introducing themselves.
Shu Xin was now a renowned queen-level author in the industry who specialized in love stories in ancient settings. A large batch of readers of her original work had come to show support for her, and the cheers for her were also very intense.
Shu Xin held the microphone and looked in Lin Nuan’s direction. “I would like to apologize to Ms. Lin Nuan. I was rash previously and sent out that Weibo post. Thankfully, Director Chen has already forgiven me. I hope that Ms. Lin won’t mind either! Ms. Lin, I’m sorry!”
“It’s alright!” Lin Nuan replied a little absent-mindedly.
In fact, Lin Nuan hadn’t taken this matter to heart. However, with Shu Xin suddenly apologizing on the show, it made her feel that she had been forced to accepting the apology!
On this stage, if Lin Nuan chose not to forgive her, she would either be destroying her own image or be stuck with the label of petty.
