The Purple Star Hotel, located in the center of Changlu City, is a five-star hotel. As a well-known hotel chain in the industry, many business elites and heavyweight stars in the entertainment industry have stayed at the Purple Star Hotel.

Every year on Christmas Day, December 25th, the Purple Star Hotel will provide a reception hall as a venue for the premiere of a film, as in previous years. Although this quota has been secretly tendered as early as half a month ago. But it wasn't until a few days before Christmas that it was voted by the distributor of "Winter Sonata" at a sky-high price of 800,000. And this price has also hit a new record high.

When it was approaching 18 o'clock on Christmas night, the main creators of the crew of "Winter Love Song" came to the Purple Star Hotel one after another, including Cen Min and Sang Qing. In order to be in case of emergency, today's Cen Min also put on exquisite makeup at Sang Qing's request.

When Sang Qing's red Porsche stopped at the entrance of the Purple Star Hotel, the red carpet had already been laid. A number of media reporters stood by the sides with long guns and short guns, just waiting for the big man to get out of the car. Cen Min and Sang Qing, who were sitting in the car, looked at each other's appearances, and after making sure that there were no problems, Sang Qing calmly got out of the car. Cen Min drove Sang Qing's Porsche to the underground parking lot.

Five minutes later, when Cen Min and Sang Qing reconciled, six pairs of filmmakers' main creators had already walked on the red carpet at the door. At this time, a short actor and a tall beauty with a pointed chin walked towards the hotel. Cen Min recognized the man as the male protagonist of "Winter Sonata", named Seth. The woman is the supporting actress of the movie, called Sun Qili. Seth's stride distance was obviously not as big as Sun Qili, who was a head above him, and he was a little flustered when he walked, and he became the same hand and foot as he walked. At this time, the media on both sides seemed to have grasped an important focus, and the shutter suddenly sounded like a storm. Cen Min noticed that Seth's face showed a certain cheerful expression after a successful victory, and the same was true of Sun Qili.

After that, most of the supporting roles on the red carpet were some supporting roles, and Cen Min and Sang Qing no longer paid attention. It's just that the reporters on both sides are still enthusiastic, desperately pressing the shutter of the camera, and the flash once illuminates the hotel door as if it were daytime.

Although Sang Qing was used to such a scene, her eyes had not yet adapted to the long-term exposure of the flash. Cen Min saw tears running through the corners of Sang Qing's eyes from time to time, and although the eye makeup was a waterproof high-end product, it still inevitably affected the view.

"Go to the makeup artist and wipe it off and make it again." Cen Min pointed to his eyes at Sang Qing.

"No need, I'll have to sign the movie poster later, and the reporter will shoot again." Sang Qing said helplessly, "I knew to take some eye drops to prevent it first, my eyes will be dry and uncomfortable at this time, and my eyes will definitely be red after I go back to remove my makeup." ”

Cen Min had no choice but to give up when she heard Sang Qing say this, and she proposed to go to the dressing room to rest first to prepare for the press conference later. As the protagonist of tonight, it is necessary for Sang Qing to maintain a good mental state.

Soon, the main creative staff outside had already entered the hall and conducted pre-conference interviews with many reporters in the corridor. Sang Qing was absent from the occasion as usual, because most of the interviews before the press conference were chatting with reporters or joking, just to liven up the atmosphere of the press conference later, which was equivalent to the heat of a party. Opportunities like this to show their faces will be given to actors who play supporting roles in the film, or even newcomers. Although in fact, during the pre-meeting interview, reporters rarely raised their precious hands to take photos of these second-rate or even third-rate actors. In the entertainment industry, not grasping every possible opportunity is undoubtedly a waste of the noble profession of an actor. For every actor, it doesn't hurt that they seem to be a little busier in the special system of the entertainment industry. At the very least, it can give an image of hard work and hard work. But the irony is that most actors are doing this, but it still doesn't change the fact that they are still small people. For the entertainment industry, no matter how glamorous and good-looking the things on the table are, they are far less useful than the things under the table.

When Sang Qing was about to fall asleep in the dressing room, Seth and Sun Qili walked in, and Cen Min quickly woke Sang Qing up when he saw this.

"Sister Qing, where's your makeup artist?" Sun Qili was the first to speak, "I want him to touch up my makeup." ”

"I didn't bring the makeup I put on at home." Sang Qing shrugged, "Sister Min, you go and ask the other makeup artists who have time to come, I'll ......"

"No need, I'll figure it out myself." Sun Qili interrupted Sang Qing and walked out of the dressing room with her surprisingly thin waist twisted.

Phew, that's rude. Cen Min hated this Sun Qili from the bottom of her heart, but she was just a supporting actress, and she dared to interrupt Sang Qing.

Sang Qing watched Cen Min's face become a little wrong, and couldn't help but feel a little drumming in her heart. Recently, she noticed that Cen Min was becoming more and more wary when she was communicating with others. Although Sang Qing knew that some of Cen Min's past experiences made her sensitive and suspicious, this did not explain Cen Min's excessive attention to herself, which was beyond the duty of an assistant.

Just when Sang Qing was worried, Cen Min's mobile phone suddenly rang Cai Qin's "Zhang San's Song". Sun Qili on the side saw it and said: "It's quite tasteful, Cai Qin's alto is one of the best in China." However, some people are just vassals and don't appreciate it at all. As he spoke, he glanced at Sang Qing intentionally or unintentionally.

"I'm going to answer the phone." Cen Min ignored Sun Qili, she whispered something in Sang Qing's ear, and then withdrew from the dressing room.

Cen Min's mobile phone showed an unfamiliar number, she was a little strange, she hesitated for a while and finally picked it up.

Cen Min sighed lightly and picked up the phone: "Hey? ”

"I'm Bi Guofeng, what are you doing?"

"Bi Guofeng? How did you know my mobile number? Cen Min was very strange, she didn't leave a phone call to the other party after the blind date that day, how did Bi Guofeng contact her.

"Hehe, I have my way. What are you doing, you're noisy there. ”

"I ...... Why should I tell you, I'll hang up if you don't have anything to do, I still have something to do. ”

"Alas, wait, I'm ...... I have something to ask you. ”

"Do you have to answer me if you ask?" Cen Min was a little dissatisfied: "Do you police look at everyone like a suspect, and you treated me as a criminal when you saw me that day, right?" ”

"Don't be angry." Bi Guofeng said, "You won't be able to find a boyfriend like this." ”

"I want you to take care of it!" Cen Min pinched the fat on her abdomen and was very frustrated, the other party obviously didn't call as a suitor, but she couldn't guess what Bi Guofeng's intentions were.

"Are you free now? I'll invite you to drink when you have time, will you come? ”

"What? You ......" Cen Min seemed to have been hit by something, and this was the first time someone had taken the initiative to ask her.

"Eh, I don't mean anything wrong, I really have something to ask you." Bi Guofeng heard that Cen Min wanted to ask, and quickly blocked her words.

"I'll tell you next time we meet, let's not talk about it yet." Cen Min saw Sang Qing walking out of the dressing room for some reason and was walking towards her, so she quickly hung up the phone.

"Sister Min, who are you talking to on the phone? Seth said that the signing ceremony was advanced, did you get notice? ”

"Ahead of schedule? I didn't get the notification. Cen Min's face was slightly red, and she quickly opened the chat group on her mobile phone, but there was no specific message in it. Just when Cen Min was hesitating to call the backstage director to ask about the situation, a staff member suddenly hurriedly ran to them: "Sister Min, Sister Qing, the signing ceremony is almost over, it's up to you, you can go quickly." ”

"Okay, I'll be right here." Sang Qing agreed, straightened the folds on her dress, and hurriedly walked towards the reception hall. Cen Min thought to himself while following Sang Qing: The autograph session started so soon, Sang Qing should have been the first to go to the autograph site, but now she has become the last.

The reception hall of the Purple Star Hotel is a large reception hall that can accommodate more than 200 people, but the number of people who came to the scene tonight was far more than that. Cen Min discovered this situation when he entered the reception hall. Cen Min roughly estimated that there were at least nearly 50 reporters present in front of him. In other words, in addition to the special reporters who were allowed to take red carpet photos outside the hotel, this press conference also attracted a lot of self-media.

In the midst of the exchange of ears at the scene, Sang Qing walked into the hall, and the flash flashed crackling and flashing. Cen Min noticed that the expression of the media invited to come today was obviously different from the press conferences she had attended in the past. But what is different is not the same, she can't judge for a while. Under the greeting of the host of the press conference, Sang Qing was the last to sign and sit down on the huge movie poster behind her.

Cen Min only found out at this time that Sang Qing's eye makeup had been changed to a new color, presumably when she was on the phone with Bi Guofeng just now, she asked the makeup artist to reapply it. Cen Min secretly said in her heart: The level of makeup is much higher than hers, and if you have the opportunity, you must find a makeup artist to learn, so that Sang Qing can help herself next time she needs it.

"There are a lot of highlights in this movie, can you tell me what are the highlights?" The moderator asked the question, as is customary, that would certainly not be answered accurately.

"Ah, of course, there are a lot of highlights, but we hope that the audience can find out for themselves in the movie, and if they say it, the fun of watching the movie will be greatly reduced." Sang Qing replied very old-fashionedly. The leading actors next to him also learned to echo in the same way, and showed adoring glances at Sang Qing. Standing in the audience, Cen Min couldn't help but chuckle: You are obviously far from Sang Qing.

Next, the entire film launch went smoothly as usual. The moderator asks innocent questions, and the reporter below quickly records the conversation on the laptop he carries with him. Occasionally, a few funny topics are touched, and there may be a small commotion in the reception hall. But the whole press conference was quite boring.

Just when Cen Min thought that this press conference was about to end perfectly, she suddenly noticed that there was something strange about a person in the crowd. Cen Min saw a man about 1.8 meters tall, constantly probing his brain in the group of reporters, as if he was looking for something. Cen Min thought that the man was looking for a suitable angle to take pictures, but after a closer look, the man didn't even have a camera. Just when Cen Min was puzzled, the man suddenly rushed out of the crowd.

"Do you remember me? It's me, I still love you, I love you so much! The man suddenly squeezed out of the crowd and rushed to the film's main creators in the audience with a shout.

The actor, Seth, was frightened and flipped out of his chair to the back and fell heavily to the floor. And Sun Qili and Sang Qing couldn't stand up for a while because they were wearing dresses, so they could only turn sideways to dodge. However, the man's speed was so fast that he had already pounced on her face in the blink of an eye.

"Oh, don't! Don't come here! A shrill female voice came from the stage.

Cen Min was so frightened down there that she didn't have time to tell who the screaming person was, so she hurriedly took a step and wanted to rush to the stage to protect Sang Qing. Unexpectedly, he was squeezed to the ground by the reporters who swarmed below, and then countless flashing lights flashed wildly.

"I love you, I love you so much!" The man's voice and the woman's screams came and went. Reporters held up their cameras and scrambled to take pictures. A few short reporters were squeezed to the ground like Cen Min, but again and again they got up from the ground and threw themselves into the crowd. Cen Min saw several cameras fall to the ground, being kicked around at the feet of the crowd, and turned into a pile of debris.

At this time, the stage was already in a mess. The tall strange man did not attack Sang Qing as Cen Min feared, but threw Sun Qili to the ground in one fell swoop. And all the screams just now came from Sun Qili's throat.

Cen Min tried hard several times in the crowd of reporters, but he still couldn't squeeze out, and was even pushed so much that he almost fell to the ground. At this time, she had the idea of calling the security guard.

"Security, security!"

How did Cen Min know that the hotel security was at the door. They had already walked to the stage the moment they heard the screams, but they were all pushed aside by a group of reporters. Their current situation has become the same as Cen Min's, and they can only be anxious on the side.

And the situation on the stage has now developed in an even worse direction, after Sun Qili was thrown to the ground by the strange man, her dress was torn to the side, and half of her chest was exposed to the air. And the man was riding on Sun Qili and groping with his hands. Due to excessive fright, Sun Qili had already fainted, and the scene fell into an uncontrollable situation for a while.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! At this time, several uniformed security guards with batons rushed in from outside the door and beat the reporters in front of them. A few reporters who couldn't help the pain first compromised and let go, and then the people in front also hid aside. Cen Min hurriedly took the opportunity and hurriedly followed the security guard to the stage and came to Sang Qing's side.

"Are you alright?" Cen Min asked.

"It's fine." Although Sang Qing turned pale with fright, at least she could still speak.

The strange man saw the security guard coming up, jumped away from Sun Qili's body, not only was he not afraid, but he laughed, twisted his body and began to dance like a performer. Two security guards hurriedly ran up and grabbed his hands one left and one right, trying to take him away. Unexpectedly, the man was extremely strong, pushed away the security guard who grabbed him, rushed off the stage, and ran out of the gate. The reporters were quicker than the security guards to react and follow them before they could chase them out. For a while, all the reporters poured out, completely ignoring Sun Qili who fainted because of excessive fright.

"Crazy...... Crazy, really crazy. Seth was stunned, panting and muttering something to the side. Although he didn't do anything during the whole process, he cried like one of the biggest victims. And Sun Qili was lying on the ground, half of her chest was still exposed, but no one thought of covering her with a dress for a while.

Only Cen Min calmly went up and took off the coat on Seth and covered Sun Qili's body: "Why are you still stunned?" Call an ambulance yet. ”

Ten minutes later, Sun Qili was carried on a stretcher by medical staff and left the Purple Star Hotel surrounded by countless reporters. Cen Min took Sang Qing quietly from the back door to the parking lot and drove away.

Along the way, Sang Qing didn't say a word, just tilted her head and looked at the scenery outside the window. Cen Min didn't know what he should say, and there was no doubt about this press conference, it can be said that it was completely messed up. If nothing else, tomorrow morning's news will be full of photos of Sun Qili with her bare breasts. Even the box office of "Winter Sonata" was affected by this press conference, and it is estimated that it will achieve excellent results. Cen Min still doesn't understand that it was not Sang Qing who fell down, but Sun Qili. That woman was just a supporting character, no matter who arranged this amazing operation to let him go and take down a supporting actress, what a stupid thing it was, Cen Min thought to herself.

Sang Qing's cell phone has been ringing non-stop since they left the Purple Star Hotel, and you can imagine how many media reporters are calling her mobile phone at the same time. But Sang Qing neither answered the phone nor turned off her mobile phone, just let it ring. In the end, those reporters even called Cen Min's mobile phone. After glancing at Sang Qing's expression, Cen Min also chose to ignore the phone.

It wasn't until ten minutes later that Sang Qing seemed to have recovered from something: "Look at Weibo, what is the development of the situation now." ”

"Oh, I'll see right away." Although Cen Min had given herself a preventive shot, when she really opened Weibo, she was still frightened by the development of things. The real-time popularity of "Winter Love Song" on Weibo has exceeded 900,000. Within an hour of the incident, Sun Qili's Weibo followers quadrupled.

"Read a few of her comments on Weibo to me."

"Wait for me to find out." Cen Min said, "There is." ”

"Qili, you will encounter such a thing, come on, we are by your side."

"Come on, Qiqi, that perverted man should die early."

"It's really for the promotion of the movie, I don't want any face, it's disgusting."

"Sun Qili's previous movies are very good, new fans who support her can pay attention to it, and we will cheer for Qili together."

Cen Min read this, and Sang Qing interrupted her: "In other words, most of this incident is on the side that sympathizes with her, right?" ”

"Well, so to speak."

"How can this be, a supporting role, it's ridiculous, it's ridiculous." Sang Qing shook her head gently.

Cen Min said: "Do we have any remedies now? ”

"Remedy? What remedy, everything is already finished, all finished. A supporting role, a supporting actress! What am I? I'm nothing now, even if the box office is good in the future, what can I do, after this movie is over, everyone will only remember Sun Qili who showed half of her tits outside, and I acted as a foil for her instead. Sang Qing shouted hysterically.

Cen Min looked at Sang Qing silently, letting her vent the depression in her heart, she really wanted to go up and hug her, like holding her own child, to comfort her not to be afraid, at least she was by her side. But Cen Min didn't do this, she knew that Sang Qing didn't want others to touch her when she was angry, and she always kept this in mind.

When Sang Qing and Cen Min returned to the Green Bank community, their mobile phones were automatically turned off because the battery was exhausted. Cen Min returned to the apartment a little later because she had to park, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw Sang Qing staring at the message on the refrigerator intently.

Cen Min said: "A few days ago a man called me, this is a message he asked me to convey to you, if you are free, call him back." ”

But what Cen Min never expected was that Sang Qing had a panicked expression on her face after hearing these words.

"Did you just say that it was the morning of the 18th?" Sang Qing swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"Yes, I put his phone number on it, and he asked me to say hello to you on his behalf." Cen Min suddenly felt that something was not quite right with Sang Qing. But before she could ask in detail, Sang Qing had already gone back to the bedroom.

Why, Sang Qing has such an expression? Was that look scared? Cen Min had never seen Sang Qing show such an expression.

That night, Cen Min slept very unsteadily. Half-asleep, Cen Min felt that he heard Sang Qing's voice on the phone. Their conversation sounded vaguely in her head, like a voice from the depths of the ocean, dull and distant.

"Hey...... Feed? ”

……

"You don't ......, it's just a woman...... Actors only! Or a match...... You don't ......."

……

"Please...... Spare ......, I'll only ...... Live well...... Life...... Go. ”

……

"Don't ...... anymore, I won't ...... Will go to ......, my life...... No...... Looking for you! ”

……

When Cen Min tried to hear clearly, countless foams seemed to bubble up in the throat that made the sound, muffling out all the sounds. Like a diver who has lost an oxygen tank, his lungs are constantly being poured into the seawater.

"Bu Lu Bu Lu ......" The sound of water gradually overshadowed the human voice.

A strong chill swept in, and Cen Min bounced off the bed violently. In an instant, the sound of water and speech stopped abruptly. Is it my own dreaming? Cen Min muttered to herself, and she looked back to see that the windows in the room were open, and the rancid smell was blowing up from downstairs. Cen Min's throat relaxed, and with a wow, he spit on the side of the bed.
