130. God cut off my time for her.

Just when the situation was shrouded in a complicated feeling, director Tang walked out.

''Xiao Li. You are finally here. Come come, let me introduce you to the other members.'' Director Tang was walking in their direction with a huge smile pasted on his face.

''Director Tang...'' The lady said as Director Tang approached closer but Director Tang completely ignored her existence.

The lady looked on with jealousy and envy clearly evident in her eyes. If looks could kill, Li Zhilan would be dead a hundred times by now.

...

''Everyone, gather around.'' Director Tang's voice was very commanding at the moment that Li Zhilan had to double check if the person speaking was still the same.

''The female lead of our movie has arrived. Let me introduce her. She is Li Zhilan. Though she is a citizen of country C, she has spent most of her life in Country M. Xiao Li, if you have something to say...'' Director Tang motioned his hand forward as if to give way.

''Hello everyone. I am Li Zhilan. You can call me Xiao Li. Please guide me well.'' Li Zhilan said with a bright smile that everyone couldn't help but smile back. Ofcourse there is always an exception and this exception was called Song Zhan, the same lady who had tried to stop Peiyi from entering.

''Today's press conference, she would also be attending it. I know most of you had that doubt in mind.'' And it was true. Many were worried that Li Zhilan would not be attending today's press conference. After all its rare that the main lead is absent during the official start of the shoot.

''Uncle Tang, that wasn't part of what was agreed.'' Li Zhilan whispered through a forced smile.

When they had signed the contract, no such things were mentioned. And now, suddenly, she is asked to attend a press conference. Is this some kind of a joke? she wasn't even dressed for it.

''Aiyo... I'm getting old now. I might have forgotten.'' Director Tang said putting on a pitiful face.

Go on. Lets see who beleives such nonsense.

''With your acting skills, all the actors would be put to shame.''

...

When the press conference started, Director Yang was seated in the center with the two main leads on either sides. Beside them were other actors and actresses who has important roles to play.

The male lead, Wang Lei, was a young promising actor around twenty two who already had a huge fanbase. He was dressed in gray cargo pants and a black t-shirt. His silver hair was styled in a messy one. With a height of 185cm, his lean body looked ravishing when shot by the camera.

There was another man around 25, Jiang Ming beside the male lead. He had black hair styled back and was in a black jeans and gray t shirt.

On the otherside, besides Li Zhilan, there was another boy, Fang Qiang who seemed to be around twenty one. He was donning a gray joggers with white v neck shirt.

''My question is directed towards the female lead. Let's keep it simple for the time being since I am the first one to question. Can you please introduce yourself.'' Though the reporter started off in a confident voice, at the end he couldn't help but feel awkward. This was the first time in his life that he came to a press conference without knowing even a tiniest detail about his interviewee. Infact, he was certain that every reporter present out here didn't have any sort of information on this particular main lead.

This was all because Director Tang was the only one who knew her and he kept a tight lid on it. Not even the people involved in the production crew had any information on who the main female lead was supposed to be until this morning when she was formally introduced to them. Still the, there wasn't much of an information present.

Hearing the reporter's question, the other reporter's gave him a thumbs up in their hearts while the people present on stage let out a few chuckles while Director Tang himself burst out in a hearty laughter.

''Alright. For introduction, hello, I go by the name Li Zhilan. I am born to a Chinese family but we moved to country M when I was young. I like to eat. Is this enough?'' Li Zhilan said giving tge reporter who asked the question a questioning look.

Since the conference was live streamed, there were many watching it from various sources.

''Ah... so our beautiful lead is called Li Zhilan.''

''Miss Li, I am a fan right from the time I saw your face.''

''The person above, that was like ten minutes ago.''

''Then I am her fan since ten minutes ago, hump.''

''Am I the only one who finds her introduction cute?''

''You got me here as a partner. This actress is melting my heart like no other. Look at that innocent smile. What should I do. I think I am in love.''

''Damn her beauty is out of this world.''

''Exactly. There is no fairness in this world. Out there, she had a beauty like no other an on the other hand, there is me, a dumb potato. I guess God cut off my time off to make her.''

''God had cut off mine as well for her.''

''Mine as well. God cut off mine as well for her.''

''God cut off my time for her. +66666''

''God cut off my time for her. +99999''

While a trend of 'god cut off my time for her' started in the comment section, a reporter who had been keeping up with the situation on on live streaming platform brought it to everyone else's view.

''Miss Li, right now a trend has started in the comment section called, 'God cut off my time for her.' Do you have anything to add on it? Any comment? Any view? Anything you want to say?''
