Chapter 2803: Chapter 2812: Press Conference
When she said this, not just the makeup artist, even Enna Clark was surprised.
The makeup artist was stunned for a few seconds before reminding her, "But youâre about to go on stage. Iâm afraid if I do their makeup first and then yours, there wonât be enough time."
Lydia Bell bent down and looked into the mirror, then grabbed the makeup artistâs setting powder from the table, patted it on her face without even glancing at her, and said, "Alright, Iâm fine like this."
"Uh..."
She put down the brush in her hand, straightened her back, and glanced sideways at the makeup artist with an unhappy expression, "Why are you still standing here? The press conference has already started; hurry up and help them with their makeup."
After she finished speaking, the Director responsible for coordination came to the backstage to urge, "Lydia, is Lydia ready? Youâre up next."
"Uh-huh, Iâm coming." She took one last look at the mirror, adjusted her dress, and walked gracefully in her high heels.
It was only after she left that the makeup artist dared to spit disdainfully in the direction she departed, mumbling softly, "Whatâs there to be cocky about? Just a newcomer getting hyped, still the lowest tier, really thinks sheâs a celebrity now."
Enna Clark was indifferent to the makeup artistâs behavior; she believed that people who liked to badmouth others behind their backs generally didnât have great character.
She really didnât like interacting with such people.
"You guys come over." After venting, the makeup artist still had to work, calling Enna Clark and the others over.
...
The backstage was chaotic, but the front press conference proceeded in an orderly manner.
Plenty of reporters had arrived, scatteringly filling the venue. Their cameras aimed relentlessly at the press conference stage.
However, those in the know could see that although many reporters were present, there werenât many from major media outlets; mostly smaller media or runners from second-tier agencies were present.
Because today, apart from the "Time Knows" crewâs press conference, there was also the press conference for Nicole Oliver and Leoâs new film.
Compared to the star-studded lineup over there.
The "Time Knows" crew appeared quite humble in contrast. Besides Olivia Lewis holding her position, the Director was a newcomer, and another female lead was also new, while the male lead was a second-tier actor. The rest of the supporting roles were mostly skilled but unknown. Compared to Nicole Oliverâs new film where even the smallest roles had King of Acting and Queen of Acting level casts, Oliviaâs new film seemed lacking in highlights.
The reporters were not very enthusiastic, half-heartedly taking a few photos of the stage, preparing to go back and randomly write a news release to get it over with.
Soon, Lydia appeared.
The Host tried to liven up the stage atmosphere, but the reporters werenât interested in newcomers and barely any gave face by asking questions.
After all, reporters donât care whether you have a powerful backer or not; they look at popularity and public interest.
Lydiaâs recent rise was indeed fast, but her popularity and public interest were only decent among newcomers, still far behind popular female stars.
These days, having a high status isnât as good as having great popularity, female stars arenât as valued as male stars.
So almost all of the reportersâ questions focused on the male lead whose role wasnât even that important in the filmâ
"Jeremy, what moved you to take on this role?"
"Well." The handsome man glanced toward Olivia Lewis, smiling as he replied, "I took this film for Senior Olivia."
"Wow, Jeremy, are you confessing to our Ms. Lewis?" The reporter quickly dug deeper.
