Chapter 141: Red Carpet

Director Pan was a well-known director nationally and internationally. Perhaps, due to overworking, his hair had turned white before reaching the age of 60. However, his steps were energetic, his face was ruddy with health, and he was in high spirits. At this moment, he was whispering to the assistant director walking next to him.

The assistant director was also over the age of 50. With just a look, one could tell he was a capable person. Apart from that, he was also a well-known director in his own right.

Next was a group of screenwriters, field reporters, cameramen, videographers, makeup artists, and other staff members. They all came in a huge group. Among these people, the only person missing was the original author and main screenwriter for Yi Yao, Liang Zhen.

Following that was a group of actors and actresses. Among them, there were many famous faces.

Needless to say, with the appearances of the actors and actresses, the fans began to cheer loudly from the sides.

However, among the actors and actresses, the female lead and male lead were nowhere to be seen.

The male lead for Yi Yao, Yan Lu, had passed away two years ago due to an illness. It was a pity since he had strong acting skills and had made a name for himself in the film industry. He had once won the Most Popular Actor award.

As for the female lead of Yi Yao, Ning Xia, she was the most mysterious figure in the entertainment circle. During the filming of Yi Yao, she was heavily protected by the filming crew. Little was known about her. Even when the movie became a smash hit, she did not participate in the promotional activities. Rumor had it that she had gone back to school to sit for her college entrance exam.

There were many who tried to investigate Ning Xia. After investigating, they did not find the name Ning Xia listed in any of the film academies. Moreover, after the death of the author and screenwriter, Liang Zhen, she had disappeared completely.

There were fans of Yi Yao who created a club to commemorate those from Yi Yao who had passed or disappeared on a fixed date every year.

In recent years, Ning Xia’s fans had also created a fan club for her. Unlike Liang Zhen and the male lead, Ning Xia was still alive after all. They just did not know where she disappeared to.

Everyone found it pitiful that such a spirited and talented girl did not become an actress. Many movie fans hoped that she would return to the big screen one day, participating in more films and creating classic movies for everyone to enjoy.

As the years passed, many new people joined the entertainment industry. There were some of Ning Xia’s fans who began to invest their feelings into other people. Many treated Little Ning Xia as emotional sustenance and replacement. It was for this reason that Ye Xin grew famous. After all, Ye Xin somewhat resembled Ning Xia, and her aloof personality also stirred up the fans’ interest. Naturally, as much as they supported Ye Xin, Ye Xin would never be able to replace Ning Xia in their hearts, especially in regard to the movie Yi Yao.

In fact, when Yi Yao’s reunion was announced, there was talk about inviting Little Ning Xia who was starring in the remake of Yi Yao. However, the idea was strongly opposed by the original crew of Yi Yao and Yi Yao’s fan club. In the people’s hearts, Ning Xia was irreplaceable.

This matter had embarrassed Ye Xin, her fans, and Ning Xia’s fans who had converted to Ye Xin’s fans. Some radical fans even left hateful comments on Director Pan and the other staff member’s social media accounts. Nevertheless, none of them paid attention to the haters.

Some fans grew emotional when they saw the crew of Yi Yao due to the absence of a few key figures.

At this time, someone shouted, “Teacher Liang Zhen will live in our hearts forever!”

Following that, another person joined in and shouted, “Yan Lu will live in our hearts forever as well!”

Many fans were so overwhelmed by their emotions that they began to cry.

At this time, the men in the crew took off their hats while the women raised their left hands. As it turned out, all of them were wearing a yellow chrysanthemum bracelet on their left hands, showing that those who had passed lived in their hearts as well.

Upon seeing this, the fans grew even more emotional.

Since there were too many people on the platform, Mu Chen and Cheng Che silently retreated to the side.

After the host handed the microphone to Director Pan, he raised his hand instinctively.

With this, the crowd fell silent immediately.

Following that, Director Pan bowed deeply at the crowd.

The people standing behind him followed suit as well.

“Thank you for your love for Yi Yao even after all these years. I’m incredibly touched when I see everyone’s enthusiasm. Thank you, everyone!” Director Pan said. His slightly hoarse voice made his speech even more touching.

Subsequently, the male host said, “Director Pan, it’s been ten years! Even after so many years, just an invitation managed to gather everyone. I’m curious what kind of magic do your production team possess?”

Director Pan smiled. “This is the reason why I am emotional as well. I’ve filmed many movies and dramas and met many people. However, for Yi Yao, the production team and the cast have an unbreakable bond. Perhaps, we shared the same belief back then, and up until now that belief still remained in the depths of our hearts.”
