An Unexpected Response! A Crazy Scene!

"Huh? It's the Moon Warriors cast?"

Famous faces appeared one after another, but the response from the crowd and journalists was lukewarm.

Some people even sighed openly without hiding their disappointment.

Several directors and celebrities heard the murmurs from the crowd, but they remained composed, waving on the red carpet with perfect grace.

However, once inside the venue, they finally let their guard down, their faces filled with helplessness.

---------------------------------

Inside the venue, people gathered in small groups according to their friend circles.

A famous A-list actress Aya, who had just walked the red carpet, found her good friend Zhao Qin.

After a brief and polite exchange, the two tacitly shifted their conversation to the focus of today.

"This year's event is completely different from last year's."

"It feels like everyone's attention isn't on us at all."

Aya sighed.

As an actress in her thirties, she had maintained herself well. Normally, whenever she appeared, she was the center of attention.

"MiHoYo, Honkai: Star Rail."

"This is the first time their production team has made a large-scale public appearance. It's normal for the media and audience to be eager." Zhao Qin took it in stride.

"A globally popular series—having such a grand presence is only natural."

Aya shook her head and smiled bitterly, "I'm just envious, that's all. You know, MiHoYo is in the entertainment industry, but their approach is completely different from traditional companies."

"They don't chase trends, they don't care about traffic."

"Even their actors aren't selected in designated areas."

"And yet, attention and popularity seem to be drawn to them like a black hole. Watching this makes me so jealous."

Aya's words resonated with Zhao Qin.

The two of them were already among the most prominent actresses in the entertainment industry.

No matter where they went, they were dazzling and well-received.

But only they knew how much effort went into maintaining that status.

Not only were they part of the "game," having to personally exchange resources through various means, but their management teams also routinely purchased trending topics to create an illusion of popularity online.

Stars even attacked each other, stirring up drama.

All just to secure a better spot on a poster or a more prominent seat.

At the same time, they had to maintain their public persona, avoiding any scandals.

Everything revolved around traffic, fame, and a glamorous appearance.

But the arrival of MiHoYo and Honkai: Star Rail completely overturned these "rules of the game."

No gimmicks were needed.

Just relying on the quality of their series and groundbreaking production techniques, they had built an unshakable empire.

It was hard to imagine such a group of people— They didn't need to appear online, didn't need to create artificial hype.

Yet, they could make the entire internet revolve around their discussions.

Their very names became synonymous with online traffic.

Even more impressively, the influence of their series had made them a cultural treasure, with everyone vying to have their own cultures featured in Honkai: Star Rail.

As they thought about this, both fell silent.

Their emotions surged.

They couldn't help but wonder what it would be like to be part of such a company, to join such a production.

Zhao Qin snapped out of it and let out a wry smile.

"In the past, it was always fans fantasizing about meeting us. Who would've thought that one day, we'd be the ones feeling this way?"

Aya opened her mouth.

A thousand words condensed into a single sentence,

"Well, it's MiHoYo, after all."

"Alright, stop thinking about it. It has nothing to do with us anyway."

Zhao Qin adjusted her mindset and reminded, "As for you, no matter how jealous you feel, don't do anything reckless or try to ride the wave. Don't forget that idiot from before who caused a stir recently."

"Don't worry, I wouldn't embarrass myself like that."

Aya replied nonchalantly, "Besides, who in the global entertainment industry isn't envious right now? Haven't you ever wished you had the chance to join MiHoYo? Wondered why it was them and not us?"

Zhao Qin fell silent.

Of course, she had fantasized about it.

Every time she saw MiHoYo's actors in the spotlight—

Especially since many of them weren't even professionally trained—

She couldn't help but feel restless and jealous.

She imagined what it would be like to be discovered by their consultants and join MiHoYo herself.

The industry now had a saying,

Given a choice between playing the lead in a global blockbuster or being a supporting role in Honkai: Star Rail, which would you choose?

The answer had already become the latter.

"Sigh, alright, enough, let's drop it."

Aya shook her head, took Zhao Qin's hand, and started walking.

"Talking about it only makes it more painful. I just don't understand how that director, Xia Wen, thinks—he won't even give us the slightest chance."

"The whole world is probably flocking to it, regardless of skin color or gender—whatever you want, you can have. Director Xia must be absolutely thrilled."

Their conversation gradually went off track.

Yet, they couldn't avoid today's miHoYo.

At this moment, inside the venue, whether local or international, people were all discussing Honkai: Star Rail and miHoYo.

Some were envious.

Naturally, some were indifferent.

Just as Aya and Zhao Qin arrived at their seats, more and more people started entering the venue one after another.

In no time, the hall, which could accommodate hundreds, was packed to capacity.

But everyone was distracted.

Their eyes frequently glanced toward the front row seats, where the Honkai: Star Rail team was supposed to be, but they had yet to appear.

Just then— A piercing scream somehow cut through layers of barriers and reached the inner venue clearly.

It was important to note— This was a venue specifically designed for operas, with excellent soundproofing. For a sound to penetrate all the way here, it was clear just how crazy things were outside.

...

Outside the venue— The audience had gone completely insane.

...

A massive crowd was desperately squeezing toward the red carpet.

And the flashing cameras were relentless.

"Ahhh! Director Xia!! Let me be your dog! Let me play a dog in Honkai: Star Rail! I'm really good at it!"

"Jing Yuan!!! Daddy! Look at me!"

"Kafka! Kafka!"

"Fu Xuan!"

"Lady Herta! I'm your dog!"

"Holy shit, it's real! They're actually here! The entire Xianzhou crew! The Belobog crew!"

"Damn! Firefly!"

"So cool! So beautiful! I'm going to faint!"

The frenzied screams, mixed with the names of various characters, overwhelmed the miHoYo team the moment they stepped onto the red carpet.

Even they hadn't expected— The scene would be this crazy.

The massive crowd surged like a tsunami, accompanied by deafening screams.

"This... this is way too insane!" March 7th hid behind Himeko, her eyes filled with shock.

"March is so cute!"

"March 7th looks exactly like she does on screen!"

However, her reaction only made some fans even more hysterical.

For typical celebrities, showing nervousness at such an event would be a huge turn-off.

But for Honkai: Star Rail fans, this was exactly the kind of reaction they wanted to see.

"Just be yourselves."

"Don't worry about the cameras—do whatever you want."

With a smirk, Xia Wen led the group onto the red carpet.

Hearing his words— Everyone, who had already intended to do just that, relaxed even more.
