My Virtual Girlfriend-Chapter 77: Tens of Millions in Promotion (Happy New Year!!)

Chapter 77: Chapter 77: Tens of Millions in Promotion (Happy New Year!!)

Chen Yan shed his coat as he replied, "What’s up? Are you planning on streaking at the airport?"

Lu Man, "....."

"Beat it."

Chen Yan chuckled, "Then what do you plan to do?"

Lu Man replied instantly, "I’m not telling you. Just wait and see tomorrow. It’s going to blow your mind. You’ll definitely thank me for it!"

Chen Yan: ??

What the heck is this drama queen up to now?

Chen Yan texted back, "What are you going to do? Can you give me a heads-up?"

After a while, Chen Yan hadn’t received a reply from Lu Man.

He texted again,

"Are you there?"

"Still there?"

Still no reply...

Chen Yan hesitated for a moment, then dialed Lu Man’s number.

"I’m sorry, the number you have dialed is powered off and temporarily unavailable..."

Listening to the standard female voice prompt on the other end of the phone, Chen Yan’s eyebrows furrowed deeply.

What on earth is this female celebrity up to?

She said she was going to shock him, and that he would thank her?

She better not be causing trouble again!

Thinking this, Chen Yan called the hotel front desk to inquire about the room booking for his company, only to be told that Lu Man and Sister Mei Li had already checked out and left the hotel.

"Does that mean she might be on a plane now?"

Chen Yan estimated the time and felt it was indeed possible.

Since it was impossible to contact Lu Man, Chen Yan eventually dismissed it as a prank.

After all, this female celebrity loves pranking and joking around. Teasing him before boarding a flight was quite normal.

So, he washed up and went to bed...

The next day, Monday.

The Tiandu Film Festival kicked off grandly in Pu Fa District!

As the country’s premier film festival and the only international A-class film festival domestically, in recent years, the Tiandu Film Festival had already become the most important event in the entertainment circle.

Every year, celebrities, big names, and top streamers would all make their appearance. Three satellite TVs and multiple online platforms would broadcast the festival live, making it the center of attention for everyone online.

At 7 p.m., the opening ceremony of the Tiandu Film Festival.

According to the event schedule, celebrities and big names would walk on the red carpet in accordance with their status and position, before entering the venue.

At this moment, in a car arranged by the festival organizers, positioned among all the other vehicles,

Sister Mei Li held up a script and was going over the procedures with Lu Man,

"Man Man! This opportunity has been hard-won by the company and the production team. Later, the three satellite TVs, as well as online platforms, will redirect their cameras to live broadcast your appearance."

"I’m going over the specific procedures with you now."

"When you walk on the red carpet, the red carpet host will ask you a question."

"They will ask if you haven’t had any new works in the last six months and if you’re brewing some big moves."

"At that time, you’re supposed to smile and say, ’Yes, I have been diligently practicing my acting skills during these six months because I’m planning to participate in Director Zhang’s new film ’Return of the Phoenix to the Southern Sky’. Director Zhang has been preparing this film for five years, and I believe it will certainly bring a surprise to everyone!’"

When Sister Mei Li finished, she looked at Lu Man and asked, "How about it, Man Man? Did you memorize it?"

At this time, Lu Man, dressed in a noble evening gown with a small tiara on her head, was spectacular and beautiful. She looked like a fairy-tale princess.

She was holding a small makeup mirror, applying lipstick casually as she said, "Alright, I memorized it."

Sister Mei Li didn’t notice Lu Man’s indifference.

She said excitedly, "Man Man. As long as we seize this opportunity! We will soar high!"

"In the future, becoming a top streamer, a top-tier celebrity, it’s not a dream!"

Lu Man elegantly nodded, but her face was still full of... indifference.

What’s a top streamer?

What’s a top-tier celebrity?

I, Lu Man, am destined to become a superstar!

Everything, it’s just a matter of time!

As cars passed by one after another, it soon came to Lu Man’s turn.

The car stopped in front of the red carpet, and the security staff came forward to open the door.

Lu Man, dressed in her magnificent gown, stepped out with a reserved smile.

As she got out of the car, flashes from both sides of the red carpet set off a "click click click," turning the night of Tiandu into day.

The fans around the red carpet also excitedly waved their light boards, shouting like a tidal wave, "Lu Man! Lu Man!" "Lu Man! Lu Man! Lu Man!"

Perhaps Lu Man was naturally suited to be a celebrity, for even in such a grand event she showed no signs of stage fright. Gracefully holding her evening gown, she smiled and waved as she strolled down the red carpet.

With every step, she walked toward the star-studded path, and every frame that was transmitted to thousands of viewers and online users through video signals was flawlessly beautiful.

Like this, in front of TV sets, smartphones, and computer screens, viewers and online users watched as she arrived at the corner of the red carpet.

The host stopped her with a smile and then, holding the microphone, said, "Hello, Lu Man. Long time no see."

Lu Man nodded slightly, with an elegant smile, "Has been a while indeed."

The host asked, "It’s been about half a year since your last TV drama aired, right? What have you been busy with recently?"

Everything was proceeding as arranged by the agency and the production team.

TV viewers, as well as fans and passers-by, were also curiously waiting for Lu Man’s answer.

Sister Mei Li, still in the car, was also holding her phone, watching the live broadcast of the film festival opening ceremony.

Seeing the host ask this question, she couldn’t help but grip her phone tightly as her heart started pounding rapidly.

"Say it! Once you say it, everything will be set! Man Man! Go for it!"

But at the moment of high anticipation, Lu Man smiled elegantly again and said,

"I’ve been busy with a game recently. The game is called ’Hidden Guardian’, it’s a video interactive detective game with innovative gameplay and very interesting content. In it, I play a villain, which is a breakthrough for myself."

As she spoke, the host who had been briefed earlier was stunned.

Sister Mei Li in the car went cold all over.

The management of the agency and the production team in front of the TV were all dumbfounded.

What’s going on?!

What just happened?

Only the online viewers and audience watching the live broadcast were all curious at this point.

Lu Man disappeared for six months, only to go and make a game? And a video interactive detective game at that?

Sounds... pretty interesting!

Meanwhile, Lu Man, sensing the odd atmosphere, swallowed nervously, suppressed her unease, and continued with a smile, "Also, through this game, I’ve honed my acting skills and am ready to participate in Director Zhang’s new film ’Return of the Phoenix to the Southern Sky.’"

"This film has been five years in the making by Director Zhang, and I believe it will certainly surprise everyone!"

She finished her lines as planned, and gave the host a dignified smile.

The host, quickly recovering, awkwardly followed with, "Thank you for sharing, Lu Man. Please proceed to the rest area to relax."

Lu Man nodded, "Thank you," then picked up her evening gown and walked off gracefully.

However, unnoticed by anyone, her palms were already sweating.

Even she, usually fearless, was feeling nervous for the first time...

Oh my goodness.

It feels like I’ve caused a huge trouble, doesn’t it?

Should be fine, right?

I managed to circle back at the end, didn’t I?

It was just a little promotion for the game, it shouldn’t be a problem, right?

But no matter what, Chen Yan and Qiao Qiao’s game should become a big hit, right?

After all, it’s reaching tens of millions of viewers.

If it still doesn’t take off, I’ll cry.

I’m gambling my future on this promotion for them!
