Chapter 59 Shocking Change
From below the stage, Xu An watched Bai Ge handle the reporters' difficult questions with ease, and couldn't help but show a hint of admiration on his face.
An award-winning actress is an award-winning actress; she remains calm and composed in any situation.
Thinking this, Xu An sighed to Yan Wei beside him:
"Sister Bai Ge is truly a veteran of big occasions! She can answer even such an obvious challenge so flawlessly!"
Upon hearing this, Yan Wei was taken aback, and then looked at him with a strange expression.
Seeing this, Xu An was somewhat bewildered.
"Did I say something wrong?"
Yan Wei leaned slightly closer to him, then whispered, "Are you stupid? That reporter was arranged by us."
"This is to take this opportunity to dispel the rumors circulating online about the theme song."
"Besides, this is our press conference; the reporters are definitely biased towards us, they've all been paid a bribe!"
???
Xu An was stunned for a moment, then he realized what was happening.
She's still too young. I never expected that Sister Bai Ge, who seems so generous and elegant, could be so adept at using such tricks.
It makes sense, considering that Bai Ge has achieved this status in the cutthroat entertainment industry; she's definitely not some clueless newbie.
Judging from the comments in the live stream, Bai Ge's methods were also very effective.
[So that's how it is. No wonder the rumors about the theme song being cut off were circulating online; it turns out they were fake.]
[That's how unscrupulous editors are; they'll write any headline for clicks.]
Why bother with this? Why not admire the stunning beauty of my goddess Bai Ge?
Speaking of which, I'm really envious of those fans who will get to interact with Goddess Bai Ge later.
Xu An was unaware of the change in the attitude of the viewers in the live broadcast room; his focus at this moment was on something else entirely.
"Xiao Yan, why do I feel like there aren't many bodyguards at such a big press conference?"
"What if something goes wrong?"
Upon hearing this, Yan Wei did not mock Xu An for being ignorant, but instead pointed to a man in a suit wearing sunglasses standing on the stage.
"Too many people at the press conference might cause problems."
"Therefore, it's better to have quality bodyguards than quantity."
"Take this guy for example. Don't let his seemingly ordinary appearance fool you. He's proficient in judo, karate, and Brazilian judo, and he's also received military training abroad."
"Able to draw and fire a gun in 0.2 seconds, and once defeated ten strong men in a hand-to-hand combat session!"
Upon hearing this, Xu An was taken aback.
That's intense?
You didn't actually fight in Southeast Asia in 1974, did you?
Xu An's wildly imaginative ideas had no impact on the progress of the press conference.
At this moment, Bai Ge had already stood up and walked to the center of the booth, where she interacted with the movie fans and the host next to her.
"Does any fan have a question?"
Bai Ge said with a smile. Today she was wearing a black velvet dress with clean lines. The dress had a cut that revealed her collarbone at the chest, and the waist was cinched to accentuate her curves. The hem of the dress touched the ground slightly. Her hair was neatly styled into a low bun, and she wore matte red lipstick.
The spotlight on the stage shone on her, making her look elegant and poised.
At least the fans at the scene had a great time. A female fan in the front row excitedly raised her hand and shouted. Seeing this, Bai Ge leaned closer, handed her the microphone, and smiled:
"Is there something wrong with this fan's reaction?"
The female fan who was called on took the microphone and excitedly said:
"Sister Bai Ge, I want to know, will this movie be different from the previous ones?"
"I mean, will there be a romantic subplot?"
Bai Ge put away the microphone, her matte lips curving slightly upwards. She elegantly shook her head and smiled:
"You all know, my older sister is the leading lady!"
Bai Ge's slightly queen-like response instantly ignited the atmosphere. She then invited several fans to interact with her, pushing the already heated atmosphere to its peak.
However, this also marked the end of the press conference. Bai Ge brought the microphone to his lips, intending to say a few words of farewell before leaving the stage, but then a sudden change occurred.
Suddenly, a dark figure darted out from somewhere near the booth and pounced on Bai Ge.
The unexpected incident caused gasps of surprise from everyone present.
The host panicked.
"Bodyguards, where are the bodyguards?"
The fans in the audience shouted.
"Sister Bai Ge! Get out of the way!"
Everyone was in chaos, but the dark figure was too fast, and no one had time to stop him.
Just as the dark figure was about to touch Bai Ge, suddenly, a figure appeared from the side and kicked out.
With swift and clean movements, the dark figure was kicked to the ground.
Everyone could finally see the face of the dark figure.
He was a middle-aged man who looked very颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it implies a state of listlessness, apathy, and a lack of motivation), with a scraggly beard. At this moment, his eyes were bloodshot as he stared at Bai Ge, struggling to get up.
However, everyone's attention was no longer on him, but on another figure.
Bai Ge, whose face showed surprise at the sudden attack, was even more stunned. Her red lips parted slightly, and her voice was filled with obvious disbelief:
"Xiao An??!"
Xu An turned around, smiled, and said:
"Sister Bai Ge, isn't my assistant pretty good? Did that kick really show off his worth?"
As he said this, Xu An's ankle suddenly twisted outward, causing him to lose his balance instantly. His face contorted, and after taking a deep breath, he looked at Bai Ge with a bitter expression in his voice:
"Sister Bai Ge, I kicked too hard just now and twisted my ankle. Is that considered a work-related injury?"
In an instant, Bai Ge's eyes softened as if they could melt Xu An's heart. She quickly reached out to support Xu An, her voice filled with heartache.
"How badly are you hurt? I'll take you to the hospital right away. Why did you kick me so hard?!"
"Just block him!"
Upon hearing this, Xu An expressed his dissatisfaction:
"No way, I've never even hugged you, Sister Bai Ge. How dare this kid rush up at me? I was already being lenient with my feet just now."
"Or just kick him down!"
Seeing Xu An still stubbornly arguing, Bai Ge was somewhat amused and exasperated.
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
"Quick, let me help you down, we need to get to the hospital right away!"
It wasn't until then that the other people at the scene realized what was happening.
The bodyguards rushed up and pinned down the man who had just attacked Bai Ge, then looked at Xu An with incredulous eyes.
They were all caught off guard. How did Xu An manage to react?
Keep in mind that they were on stage, while Xu An was in the audience.
In other words, in that short time, Xu An flipped up from under the stage, ran to Bai Ge's side, and kicked the attacker away.
No, are you a special forces soldier?
Especially the bodyguard who had just been praised by Yan Wei and was said to be able to take on ten men at once, now had a look of self-doubt in his eyes.
Is he really an elite bodyguard?
How come he seems like a piece of trash compared to Xu An?
Oh no, am I going to lose my job?
Only then did the barrage of comments in the live stream explode like a tsunami.
The sudden turn of events caught them completely off guard.
[Holy crap, what did I just see? That man was so fast I didn't even have time to react, and Xu An just kicked him away?!]
How did he even get onto the platform? I think that platform is over a meter high; it would take me ages to climb up there!
I was completely stunned; it was like a bolt of lightning!
Where are those people who said Xu An was completely useless as an assistant?
[Is there a video recording? I just want to see how Xu An did it!]
……
The commotion at the scene and in the live broadcast room did not affect Xu An for the time being. He was already in the car to the hospital with the anxious Bai Ge.
Meanwhile, a replay video was spreading wildly online.
