Chapter 577: Chapter 577

"[hhhh Let me clear up a misconception from the comment above, who said Fat Emperor was taking drugs? Fat Emperor didn’t take any drugs; she just used a device called ’Medical Beauty’ which rejuvenated her in a few zaps!]

[Someone on Floor N strongly disagrees, Fat Emperor didn’t take any drugs, nor did she resort to medical beauty treatments. She simply acquired a machine called ’Time Machine’ that froze time, turning her into a forever-young beauty.

Or maybe she traveled back from the future in the Time Machine to her younger days, stole her young body, and from then on, she remained eternally youthful and immortal \(^o^)/~]

By this point, the comments on a certain professional rating site had completely derailed.

As conversations evolved, He Jinxia had already become an ageless immortal practicing some special mystical arts.

The majority of fans making jokes constituted the majority, who went to see the movie because of He Jinxia’s fame but were also captivated by the plot of the movie itself.

So even though He Jinxia had a small role in the movie, they didn’t feel too disappointed, having watched a decent film at least.

But there was also a small group who went solely because of He Jinxia, possibly her diehard fans or those specifically set to discredit her or those disinterested in the plot of ’Crash Through the World.’

This group of fans, upon returning from the cinema, furiously claimed they were deceived, as there was hardly any He Jinxia in the film!

However, as Luo You had expected, most of the audience who felt deceived blamed the film crew’s promotional activities, believing it was all the crew’s fault.

They also believed that the crew was spreading false rumors and adamantly requested that they stop using He Jinxia’s name to promote the movie.

Believe it or not, this viewpoint, once voiced, garnered much support.

He Jinxia hadn’t even commented yet, but her fans were already defending her and, unlike before where the fans cleared up false rumors everywhere, this time they united against the misuse of her name in promoting ’Crash Through the World.’

Although He Jinxia had only a small role in ’Crash Through the World,’ her portrait on the promotional posters was just as prominent as the two male leads, which easily misled people into thinking she was the third main character.

Not to mention the slogan ’Crash Through the World’ official posted on W blog, mentioning He Jinxia’s name immediately after the two male leads, while other actors with more significant roles were mentioned later, muddling up the importance.

’Crash Through the World’ also heavily emphasized He Jinxia’s involvement in a work that was nominated at the Berlin Film Festival this year, raising expectations for her stunning performance in this film following the festival, which was clearly an advertising gimmick based on He Jinxia’s fame!

This is a deceit of the consumers!

The Timekeepers spontaneously responded by clarifying in many news press releases about ’Crash Through the World’ that Fat Emperor was not the third main character but a marginalized supporting female, advising netizens not to watch the movie because of He Jinxia, or they would be disappointed.

If He Jinxia gets insulted for having too few scenes, her idol is not going to take the blame; it’s all due to the promotional tricks by the crew.

Needless to say, this kind of ranked clarification had a significant impact.

Initially, some industry celebrities wanted to use the mismatch between ’Crash Through the World’s promo and the actual movie to employ a ’Water Army’ to vilify He Jinxia for becoming arrogant and disdainful of her fans due to her fame.

But because the Timekeepers intervened, many celebrities gave up on this tactic.

He Jinxia’s fans have evolved; the Timekeepers are no longer just defenders of Jinxia, countering attacks when scandals arise, but also take proactive measures to nip the scandals in the bud.

The series of actions taken by the fans were all voluntary, expending energy to explain on her behalf, all driven by their affection for He Jinxia, the celebrity.

The force known as "adoration" also significantly enhanced the quality of He Jinxia’s fans, gradually advancing her towards the status of a top star.

To become a top star, not only must the celebrities themselves work hard, but their supporting fans must also put in great efforts.

If a celebrity has a good reputation within the circle, but her fans are notorious outside, it can have a detrimental impact on the celebrity, and might even block her path to promotion.

The relationship between celebrities and their fans is like that of partners, both benefiting from and contributing to mutual improvement.

Some competitors, disbelieving, secretly hired a group of Water Army to slander He Jinxia, which, unsurprisingly, was almost completely ineffective.

Not only did they waste a sum of money, but they also caused the marketing accounts that blackened He Jinxia’s name to be severely censured by netizens, leading to significant trouble.

The next day, Berlin’s sky grudgingly showed a bit of sun, but unfortunately, the sunlight only appeared in the morning, turning to cloudy by the afternoon.

The award ceremony was to be held tomorrow, and on this day He Jinxia met up with her crew members.

The Berlin Film Festival, lasting a week, would conclude with the award ceremony and closing ceremony on the last day; He Jinxia arrived relatively late, missing the opening.

However, in Berlin the closing is most significant, and it’s best if one can attend at other times, provided they can make the time in their schedule.

In the afternoon, she arrived at the special screening hall for the new generation at the Berlin Film Festival.

The others in her crew had arrived in Berlin before her; since they were staying in different places far apart, the director had decided to meet at the screening hall.

It so happened that the special screening hall was showing "Eighteen Years Old Sky" today, allowing them to watch the film they starred in and discuss it with one another.

This year Berlin had changed the film screening rules; previously, the special screening section would only show one film for the duration of seven days.

If that film didn’t win an award but was selected as "a film screened in the special exhibition unit" it was akin to receiving an honorable mention.

This year, Berlin screened all films nominated in the special screening section, and also introduced an "Audience Favorite Film" award.

This award would not be given out during the award ceremony, but it holds more value than the former "selected for screening" acknowledgment, serving as an enhanced version of the honorable mention.

This time, the special screening section for new voices featured six nominated films, with different films being shown each day; due to the number of films, one film would be screened for two days.

The screening schedule was officially arranged, and no one knew which film would be lucky enough to be chosen, or if the selection for two days of screening held any other significance, such as being more outstanding than the others in the same unit?

When He Jinxia arrived, Duan Yu and two other directors had already gotten there; they stood by the entrance chatting, visibly excited to the point they didn’t even notice her arrival.

He Jinxia shifted her gaze, suddenly changed her route, and walked down a side path at the corner to give them a bit of a scare.

She tiptoed up to them, hearing their conversation—before she could scare them, she ended up startling herself.

He Jinxia frowned and interjected, "Was ’Eighteen Years Old Sky’ really chosen to be screened for two days?"
