After Fang Zhao settled his affairs, he started preparing for the awards ceremony.
The Corale Film Festival was held separately from the film awards ceremony. The TV series was held the day before the film awards.
Hotels near the film festival venue, other than those reserved for celebrities, were all booked up. Guests could only stay further away from the venue. Many people rented local residential and office buildings.
"Boss, this is the itinerary." Nanfeng handed Fang Zhao a schedule. He had previously shown Fang Zhao his schedule, but this one was more detailed and could be changed according to the venue. Nanfeng knew that he was inexperienced, so he asked many experienced seniors and combined their suggestions to come up with this plan.
"Also, Silver Wing asked if you needed any help with the itinerary," Nanfeng said.
Fang Zhao looked at Nanfeng's schedule and waved it off. "That's good enough. I don't need them to send anyone over."
Nanfeng couldn't help but smile, but he quickly retracted it. He felt that he had to act mature in front of his boss. He couldn't just laugh foolishly at a compliment.
After calming himself down, Nanfeng continued, "Boss, you received two nominations. You will be attending the red carpet, but we don't know who your red carpet partner will be. We will only find out when you get to the venue. This is arranged by the organizers. We can only cooperate. That's how Corale has always been. If you have your own ideas, you can let them know in advance, but the organizers might not listen. Usually, only those at the top of the entertainment circle can make a move. "
In the film and entertainment industry, Fang Zhao didn't have enough experience or status to make the organizers move. Fang Zhao understood this, so he didn't have any other ideas. He just followed the organizers' arrangements.
"Then, if it's a scheming actress, wouldn't it create a scandal?" Zuo Yu's interest was piqued, and his mind went through hundreds of twists and turns.
He hadn't found any scandals involving Fang Zhao. Fang Zhao didn't lack news. He didn't need scandals to steal attention.
What about the ubiquitous paparazzi?
Many entertainment reporters had their eyes on Fang Zhao, hoping to find some big news, but the problem was that they couldn't find him.
The people sent to secretly take photos were taught a lesson by Fang Zhao's bodyguards. Fang Zhao had also held back. On the surface, it was impossible to see where the injuries were. The hospital's examination also did not reach the level of public outrage. It was not worth it to use this incident to stir up news. As a result, there was even less news about Fang Zhao during the film festival. Most of the news was unimportant, and the photos that were taken were not of Fang Zhao's face, and the angles were poor.
As for scandals, there was no way to mention them. There wasn't a single entertainment reporter who caught any news about them online.
Nanfeng sighed. "Based on my understanding of Corale, they usually arrange for two people of similar status to walk together on the red carpet. Plus, there are limited spots for red carpet events of this level. They must either be nominees or top figures in the industry. Zuo Yu, the situation you mentioned could happen, but the chances are extremely low."
Deep down, Nanfeng didn't think that the situation Zuo Yu had mentioned would happen. Actors who had such opportunities basically had their own career plans. They wouldn't think of such a low-level method like stirring up a scandal. If they weren't careful, they could ruin their bright futures.
However, setting aside his professional duties, Nanfeng actually wanted to see Fang Zhao get embroiled in a scandal with someone else.
Thoughts were just thoughts. As an all-rounder assistant, he knew what he should and shouldn't do. Nanfeng felt that he should prepare for a rainy day and take precautions. Thus, he had contacted his buddies to prevent any unfavorable situations for Fang Zhao from appearing online.
I have to let Boss know my value!
I have to let Boss know that I can't be without him!
Nanfeng considered many scenarios and came up with countermeasures one by one. He rubbed his palms together and waited for the situation to develop.
All right, now all I have to do is send Boss to the venue!
The Golden Coral Film Gala was also known as the Golden TV Series Gala. Thanks to "Founding Era," the number of people coming to the Golden TV Series Gala had greatly increased.
On the day of the gala, the island was bustling with activity. Many movie fans had rushed over before daybreak to fight for a spot. People from the surrounding islands had also rushed over early in the morning.
Fang Zhao followed Nanfeng's itinerary step by step. This time, the styling of his costume took longer and was even more meticulous.
Nanfeng stood by the side, not letting a single detail slip by.
The sense of accomplishment made Nanfeng want to immediately take a photo and post it on his Moments to show off, but due to professional rules, he could only endure.
"Boss, once we are ready, we will take a car to the side hall of the venue and wait for follow-up arrangements. We will set off after lunch. Also, Boss, you can eat more for lunch. Otherwise, you will be hungry. There are also stylists and makeup artists at the venue. If you want to change your outfit or have a messy hairstyle, you can find them there. If you can't find them, contact me and I will send someone over. When you arrive at the venue, you must control your appetite. Don't eat or drink too much. Drink less water … "
Nanfeng kept telling Fang Zhao about things to take note of. Zuo Yu and Yan Biao gritted their teeth. Too troublesome!
Fang Zhao knew he couldn't eat much at night, so he really ate a lot for lunch.
Watching bowl after bowl of rice being emptied, Nanfeng was dumbfounded.
"Boss, don't eat too much!" What if he needed to go to the toilet at a crucial moment? Nanfeng was anxious.
Yan Biao whispered to Nanfeng, "Our boss has a special trait. He can eat a lot! This is something the entire 'Founding Era' cast and crew knows. "
When Fang Zhao finally got up from his chair, Nanfeng rubbed his trembling little heart and took a few deep breaths. "Calm down. You must calm down!"
After arranging for a car that had been booked, the few of them headed to the venue.
The route from the hotel to the venue had been pre-arranged. Both sides of the road were covered with railings. Police officers could be seen patrolling. On the other side of the railings were enthusiastic movie fans from all over the world.
The windows were one-way. The people in the car could see outside, but the people outside couldn't see who was sitting in the car. Even so, every time a car drove out of the hotel, it would cause a commotion among the movie fans.
Even though the interior of the car was soundproof, Yan Biao and Zuo Yu shuddered at the sight of the crazed faces and shrieking faces outside.
"No wonder everyone on the island is on vacation. How are they going to work under these circumstances?" This was Yan Biao's first time seeing such a scene.
It was all people!
He hadn't known that this place could hold so many people!
"I reckon the security forces on the surrounding islands have been transferred here. Otherwise, it would be difficult to maintain order on the main island with the original police force," Zuo Yu said.
"It's not just that. Every year around this time, the other districts in Huangzhou will also send some people over to help out the districts that are closer to the Corale Archipelago. Otherwise, traffic will be paralyzed," the driver said.
"Are there so many movie fans? I didn't feel this way when I participated in other events. "Yan Biao felt the pressure of being a bodyguard. Even though he was confident, he felt weak after seeing this scene.
Seeing the clothes they were wearing and the placards they were holding, Yan Biao suddenly felt relieved. Luckily, these people weren't Fang Zhao's fans. Otherwise, he and Zuo Yu would have been trampled on by these people.
"These are movie fans from all over the world! You guys are underestimating the craziness of fans! " Nanfeng explained to Zuo Yu and Yan Biao the whirlpool of fans that a film festival of this caliber could gather. Actually, this was his first time experiencing this kind of atmosphere up close. In the past, he had only watched from afar, but now he was in the middle of it.
Back when Fang Zhao had been filming "Founding Era" on planet Wai, Zuo Yu and Yan Biao had seen many global superstars and A-list actors from every continent. They hadn't thought much of it back then, but here, it was a completely different scene.
This was the home field of film and television superstars!
A raise of the hand or a smile could trigger a tidal wave of screams.
Fang Zhao really didn't have much of an advantage.
After arriving at the side hall, Nanfeng pointed to the door in front of them. "Boss, this is as far as we can take you. We can't go in there. You should know the rest of the steps. Someone from the organizers will tell you what to do next, or you can get a senior from Silver Wing to guide you. Someone will also talk to you about your red carpet partner. If there's anything you can't resolve, contact me. I'll help you think of something!"
This was Fang Zhao's first time attending such an important event, and he still had to walk the red carpet. Nanfeng felt like a parent sending their child to school for the first time. He was worried and wanted nothing more than to tie Fang Zhao to him.
Yan Biao glanced at the calm Fang Zhao, who didn't seem nervous at all. Then he looked at Nanfeng, who was sweating profusely and trembling. He suddenly remembered a famous saying from the Old Era: The eunuch is more anxious than the emperor is.
Is Lil 'Nanzi too nervous?
Yan Biao couldn't help but say, "Lil 'Nanzi — no, Nanfeng, I think our boss is smarter than you. He can handle it."
Nanfeng wanted to say, "What do you know?" but he saw Fang Zhao raise his hand and made a gesture. He could only swallow his words. They really couldn't stay here for long. There were still many cars coming. They had to make way.
"Boss, you go in first. We'll be over there. Call us if you need anything."
Nanfeng had booked a place near the venue in advance. They were waiting there.
On the towering buildings in the surroundings, large screens were playing the live broadcast. Because the event hadn't started yet, they could only see the sea of people outside the venue. They couldn't see the end of the crowd. Many people could be seen on the rooftops of the surrounding buildings. It was said that the rooftops of the nearby buildings had already been booked.
Fang Zhao walked into the side hall that had been arranged for them. The moment he entered, he bumped into a certain director who had just returned from filming on planet Wai. This director had rented Fang Zhao's set while filming on planet Wai. Fang Zhao had met him twice during the filming of "Founding Era."
"Fang Zhao, you're here! Congratulations on receiving two nominations. Given your performance in 'Founding Era,' you will surely win one! " The director gave a thumbs-up. "When I came back, Commander Huo Yi mentioned you. He told me to tell you that when you have the time, you can visit planet Wai."
