Noon.
12: 30 PM.
Seoul, Korea.
The sky here was clear and there was no smog to be seen. Other than this difference, the surroundings were filled with high-rise buildings and heavy traffic. It didn't look too different from China.
In a restaurant with Korean signage. Being in a foreign country, the China celebrity team did not stand out too much. They just found a random restaurant near the hotel and went in.
Some of the Koreans were pointing at them.
"Eh?"
"Look."
"Those women are so beautiful."
"They're celebrities, right?"
"They don't look like people from our country?"
"They're China celebrities!"
"Ah, that person is Zhang Ye."
"Right, I saw his video yesterday too!"
"It's really him!"
"The news said that he's a hooligan."
"He has a very bad reputation in China."
"Yeah, Anson-oppa got beaten up by him before."
"He also scolded the Japanese delegation during their visit to China."
"But his singing is really good."
When the China celebrity team first arrived in Korea and got off the plane, the people at the airport did not know who Zhang Ye was, nor did they pay attention to him. But a day later, when the China celebrity team went to the streets and restaurants of Seoul again, people could already recognize Zhang Ye without his sunglasses on. This change was too obvious and direct. Zhang Ye's rise in the Asian Celebrity Rankings Index was already evident. Although this quantitative change had not reached the point of a qualitative change, it was still a very good start. It showed that Zhang Ye's popularity in Asia still had a lot of room to grow. His popularity was also slowly increasing. Zhang Ye's trip to Korea this time had already exceeded his mission of showing his face on the Asian stage.
They ordered.
They ate.
Ning Lan smiled and pointed behind Zhang Ye with her chopsticks. "Are those people talking about you?"
Zhang Ye laughed and said, "Who knows? I don't understand what they're talking about."
Xiaodong giggled and said, "Look at our Director Zhang. He's so charming and capable. He gets popular wherever he goes and has even opened up the Asian market."
Zhang Ye put on an act and waved it off. "Keep a low profile, keep a low profile."
The female translator's eyelids twitched. She turned around and was too embarrassed to tell Zhang Ye: Actually, they didn't have anything good to say about you.
Hooligans.
Hooligans.
Fighting.
Scolding.
— Which of those words was good?
"Hey, where's Sister Lan?" Chen Guang asked.
Amy said, "She went to run some errands this morning, so she should be picking someone up now, right?"
Li Xiaoxian said, "I told Sister Lan the address. She'll come over later."
Just as they were talking, the person arrived.
Outside, the two Heavenly Queens walked side by side.
One was Xu Meilan.
One was Zhang Yuanqi.
Behind her were four or five other China celebrities who were attending the Asian Charity Banquet. They had probably just gotten off the plane with Zhang Yuanqi and had just arrived today. Huo Dongfang was also in the crowd, but other than Old Huo, Zhang Ye was not very familiar with the rest of them.
Zhang Ye greeted, "Old Zhang, Old Huo, you're here?"
Huo Dongfang smiled and said, "You're all eating? Why didn't they wait for us? "
Zhang Ye said, "Who knows when you guys will arrive?"
Huo Dongfang sat down next to Zhang Ye and said, "You're on fire again this time. Everyone in China has heard about what happened last night. The media bombarded you with a wave of discussions online. Before we boarded the plane, the news was still saying that you had contributed to China's rock and roll industry. Not bad, you didn't even idle around after coming out for a trip."
Zhang Ye said in amusement, "Of course. How could I forget about winning glory for our country?"
Zhao Wuliu laughed. "Right, when it comes to winning glory for our country, Teacher Zhang has to do it."
Zhang Yuanqi also sat down. "Let's go to the venue of the charity banquet in the afternoon and walk the red carpet together."
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "Together? Sure. "
Xu Meilan smiled. "I argued with Sister Zhang for a long time on the way here."
In the lineup of the China celebrity group this time, the most popular celebrities in China were Zhang Yuanqi, Xu Meilan, and Zhang Ye. They were all S-list celebrities, so according to convention, two of them would definitely walk the red carpet together. Zhang Yuanqi and Xu Meilan were both women, so it wouldn't be appropriate for them to walk together. Therefore, Zhang Ye would definitely have to walk the red carpet hand in hand with one of them. It looked like they had already chosen the right person before coming here.
Zhang Ye was overjoyed. "Was there a need to go that far? To argue for so long? "
Huo Dongfang nodded. "In the end, it was decided by rock-paper-scissors."
Zhang Ye laughed heartily. "Sister Zhang's luck is still the best."
Zhang Yuanqi stabbed him. "What good luck? I'm the one who lost. "
Zhang Ye was stunned and nearly fainted. "Ah? So the loser has to walk the red carpet with me? "
Zhang Yuanqi smiled and looked at him. "What else did you think?"
Zhang Ye: "…"
Everyone laughed heartily!
After the meal, everyone started getting busy.
Makeup.
Getting their hair done.
Changing into their gowns.
Some of the celebrities brought their own makeup teams with them, while others did not. The charity banquet's organizers also had a professional makeup team, but Zhang Ye did not use the organizers' people. Instead, he used Zhang Yuanqi's team to do the makeup together with Old Zhang. It was very simple for Zhang Ye, so he was done in just over half an hour. The rest of the time was spent waiting for Zhang Yuanqi. Only then did he realize how troublesome it was for a female celebrity to get her makeup done. It took her a full two hours.
At 4 PM.
The China celebrity team arrived at the outer perimeter of the venue.
The reporters were already swarming in. There were the Japanese, Korean, and Chinese media outlets. They were all gathered around the red carpet to take pictures.
Over there, the Korean celebrity team was starting to enter the venue. Among them, Zhang Ye saw an old acquaintance he hadn't seen in a long time — the Korean star, Lee Anson.
The Korean celebrities stepped onto the red carpet in groups.
The China celebrity team watched from afar as they listened to Zhang Ye's nagging.
Zhang Ye grumbled, "Lee Anson is still in the entertainment industry? I thought that he had retired a long time ago. Seeing an old acquaintance makes me feel nostalgic. I miss the days when I could send him flying with a kick. "
Zhang Yuanqi: "…"
Chen Guang: "…"
Huo Dongfang: "…"
Over there, a Korean celebrity suddenly fell onto the red carpet!
The reporters were going crazy. They were snapping photos like they didn't cost anything!
Zhang Ye snorted. "That's too unprofessional. That fall was too fake. I can tell from one look that this person's acting skills aren't up to par. She's clearly trying to find a topic to hype things up. Look at this, you should have acted a little more realistically even if you sprained your foot first before falling to the ground. I'd still consider you a professional. How can you just fall down like that?
Are you trying to take off? "
Li Xiaoxian: "…"
Amy: "…"
The Korean celebrities were done.
The Japanese celebrities were also here.
However, the first Japanese celebrity had only taken two steps when she also fell onto the red carpet. The male celebrity next to her quickly helped her up. The Japanese celebrity also looked embarrassed.
The reporters were in an uproar again!
Kacha!
Kacha!
There were flashes everywhere!
Zhang Ye applauded. "This is good! This is really professional! Look at how she fell. I don't know how many times she's practiced it. She exudes a sense of professionalism from head to toe. Every single one of her toes is acting and every cell in her body is acting! There's no sign of her falling at all! Even on the international stage, the strictest referees in the world would still give a penalty kick if they saw this! There's nothing wrong with it! "He looked at the China celebrity team." Which soccer team is this female celebrity from? "
Big Qi was speechless.
Xu Meilan was speechless.
Jiang Hanwei was speechless.
The China celebrity team was speechless.
Soccer, your sister!
She's a famous movie actress in Asia!
Everyone didn't know whether to laugh or cry!
There's really no one else like Teacher Zhang's mouth!
Do you have to be so sarcastic?!
Huo Dongfang patted him on the shoulder. "Teacher Zhang, I finally understand why Sister Zhang and Sister Lan aren't willing to walk the red carpet with you."
Zhang Ye rolled his eyes. "Why?"
Amy said nervously, "Because your mouth is too good at offending people. When others offend someone, they can still take it easy. But look at you. Every word you say is like pushing someone to their death! You're not giving them any leeway at all. If those female celebrities heard this, not only would they die of anger, they would definitely fight it out with you! "
Li Xiaoxian laughed, "Pfft!"
Chen Guang also laughed loudly. "Hahahaha!"
