Chapter 696: Chapter 696
Some were just maintaining a steady light, some were twinkling and sparkling, and others were even changing colors, flashing with multicolored neon, shifting shades now and then.
The actors behind continued to take their positions, but ever since He Jinxia made her appearance, it didn’t matter who came after, the entire place only wanted to shout her name and her character’s name!
The host was a bit overwhelmed; the opening was supposed to start with Director Wilson, but with the fans’ cheers so fervent, if they interviewed someone else, she feared the fans wouldn’t pay any attention at all!
She couldn’t help but tease He Jinxia first, "Wow~ Let’s take a look at everyone’s dream lover, the portrayer of Xia Tian - He Jinxia! Indeed, as handsome as imagined!"
The host took out a poster, which had been hyped up to a cost of one hundred million yuan on the market, and stood it next to He Jinxia, comparing the photo with the real person.
She asked loudly, "Don’t you think they look exactly alike, very handsome?"
The fans: "Handsome!!"
My husband is so handsome he’s explosive!
Laughing, the host said, "Wow~ You guys are really too enthusiastic, even more than I imagined."
She turned her gaze to He Jinxia and, pressured by the situation, had to start the interview with him.
"Jinxia, about your role as Xia Tian in M Country gaining such high popularity, is there anything you’d like to say?"
He Jinxia answered truthfully, "It’s unbelievable; I feel like I’m still in a dream."
She went on with the microphone, "Yesterday I took a flight to M Country to attend the premiere press conference of ’High School Musical,’ and there were many media journalists, some colleagues, and also fans present, everything was very calm."
She emphasized, "It was really calm; all communications went smoothly."
"And then, after just one night’s rest, I came over to the roadshow the second day, and just a moment ago in the backstage rest room, Ola told me, ’Xia Tian, you’re on fire, like really on fire!’"
"I didn’t even know what had happened, I was on fire? How come I didn’t know about it?"
"Then Ola showed me lots of news reports and messages from netizens, and I started to believe that I had a bit of popularity in M Country. But when I walked out of the resting room, I was still very nervous; I didn’t think it was as exaggerated as they said. However—"
He Jinxia shrugged his shoulders, speaking in a voice that was both helpless and doting, "You all have successfully given me confidence, thank you for your support!"
After finishing his words, he bowed deeply to the audience.
The scene immediately erupted in thunderous applause.
Finally, Director Wilson found an opening to join in the conversation, winking playfully and saying, "I think your fans should thank me more.
If I hadn’t discovered you for this film, they wouldn’t have found a male god to hug, flirt with, and lift high, even though the male god’s true nature is a goddess."
"Ahahaha!" The audience immediately burst into laughter.
Taking advantage of this breather, the host immediately proceeded with the normal interview process, though some fans, not caring for protocol, loudly called out He Jinxia’s name, to which He Jinxia gestured for them to quiet down.
The interview session was only about fifteen minutes, and it quickly passed by, and then it was time for the reenactment of scenes from the movie.
First came a powerful dance performance. He Jinxia did not participate in the dance part as she had just come over from Huaxia to M Country and simply hadn’t had time to practice with the crew, but Ola was part of it.
The hot dance moves got the fans high with excitement, and the atmosphere was incredibly lively. Amidst this bustling noise, the roadshow reached its climax as He Jinxia and Ola were about to reenact the movie’s wall-pin scene in person!
In this movie, Xia Tian was hailed as the master of the "wall pinning" move; several times when meeting Ola came to an end, it was always concluded with a wall pin.
Even though everyone knew there was nothing serious between them, at most a pure schoolmate affection, every glimpse of that scene always left people longing.
Ahhh, I so want to be pinned by a male god, what to do?!
Hehe, the more I think about it, the itchier it gets, I just won’t pin you, I just won’t pin you~
Amid a wave of screaming, He Jinxia pinned Ola against the wall and lifted her chin, uttering the line from the movie.
To be honest, in real life, many male stars use fan service as a selling point for promotions, but that being said, very few are bold enough to interact in such a daring way.
If female stars did the same in reality, they’ve got to let go off much more, with wall pinning and chin lifting being just the start; even an on-the-spot kiss wouldn’t be an issue.
He Jinxia treated this occasion as if she were acting, performing the scene without any psychological burden, her fan’s screams filtered out by her own system.
On the other hand, Ola’s face turned a bit red, appearing somewhat shy.
Within the crew, shooting this scene was just another day at work, the members all used to it, but doing it in front of thousands of fans now... was embarrassingly difficult.
After the scene ended, the two immediately separated, and the host spouted the script lines, glancing at the cue card. Suddenly, the audience burst into an even louder screaming than before, surpassing the previous wall pin! This update ıs available on novelFirｅ.net
Ola’s hand kept playfully poking at He Jinxia’s belly; the touch was light, quickly retracting after contact, her eyes full of sly mischief, now looking at Jinxia, then at the audience below.
This was a special easter egg set up by the crew for this roadshow event!
The screams rose wave upon wave, and under the watchful anticipation of the crowd, Ola hooked the corner of her mouth and, faster than lightning, pulled up He Jinxia’s shirt to reveal the symbol of health and strength – his six-pack abs!
Everyone went crazy at that moment!
Even though it was only revealed for a split second, damn, it was so thrilling!
"One more time! One more time! One more time..." the fans chanted in unison.
He Jinxia chuckled, placing a finger to her lips in a "shush," "Nope, showing it once is my limit."
Her voice deliberately lowered, exuding gentleness, carrying a kind of tingling magnetism.
Without a doubt, He Jinxia’s gesture elicited more screams from the fans, with even the male fans unable to hold back their composure, furiously showing their support for her!
"He Jinxia was definitely a boy in her past life"—The thought crossed many people’s minds.
Some fans suddenly felt sad. Ah, if only Jinxia were a man, I would definitely fall for him!
In fact, even though He Jinxia wasn’t a man, she had already captured the hearts of some women; her persona of a woman dressed as a man had been tremendously successful in Huaxia.
After the roadshow, the fans refused to leave, making it somewhat difficult for the crew to retreat, temporarily trapped in the green room.
In the green room, He Jinxia expressed her helplessness to the director, "I told you I didn’t like the shirt-lifting part, I wanted to pass it off last night, but ended up performing it today anyway. The audience’s reaction was too intense, we can’t even get out now, and if we delay any longer, we won’t make it to the next event."
