Desperate Red Carpet

The gold horseshoes reflected a very special luster under the light.

Unlike other metals that reflect dazzling light, gold reflects a sense of stability and reliability, making people want to get closer.

Horseshoe Cinema, or Western Cinema.

In Lardimore, this movie theater has become the premiere theater for almost all Westerns, cowboy movies, and adventure films.

It is said that the first cowboy movie in the history of the Federal was shown here.

The cowboy film caused a huge sensation at the time, directly saving the cinema from bankruptcy. To thank the film for saving the cinema, and also to commemorate the creation of a new genre and an era, the cinema was renamed Western Cinema, and the logo was taken from the beloved possession of the protagonist of the first cowboy film.

A horseshoe, which is why people call it "Horseshoe Cinema" or "Horseshoe Cinema," not everyone knows that it is actually called "Western Cinema."

The movie theater has a gold-plated horseshoe on its door. It is said that this horseshoe is famous in the Federal for being used by thieves and robbers with files and planes to steal gold from it more than once in the middle of the night.

Of course, people also know that it actually only has a thin layer of gold plating on the very surface. Even if the entire horseshoe is removed, the gold on its surface may not be as valuable as the metal itself.

Gradually, no one bothered with it anymore, which may also be related to the fact that it was electrified.

To avoid constantly re-restoring this symbol of the cinema, the cinema's owners connected the horseshoe to a safe voltage that could cause pain and numbness, but not death, and also arranged for someone to guard it 24 hours a day.

At this moment, the area outside the Western Cinema was packed with people. Reporters from various media outlets had already blocked the area, not to mention the movie fans who came specifically for the film and those who paid to come to work.

It's embarrassing to say, but that's one way to live in Lardimore. There are many fan groups in the area, and these fan groups aren't just for one or a few celebrities; they're actually semi-professionals.

When a premiere needs some fans to show their support and demonstrate people's anticipation, someone will contact them.

This practice is common, since not every movie can attract a large number of fans, and not all movie star fans live in Lardimore.

There are more industry professionals here, but apart from tourists, there aren't many movie fans.

The appearance of heavyweight industry professionals sparked continuous screams and cheers from professional film fans. They seemed tireless, maintaining an astonishing level of excitement at all times. This also inspired some real film fans to scream and shout along with them, making the atmosphere at the scene exceptionally enthusiastic.

When a limousine pulled up at the start of the red carpet, the flashes of light from the cameras nearly blinded everyone as the limousine's door opened!

Lin Qi got out of the car and stood by the door, covering the top of the door with one hand and extending his forearm at the same time.

A delicate hand emerged from the car and placed on Lin Qi's forearm. Immediately afterward, a pair of bright red high heels landed on the ground, and the flashbulbs went off even faster—thanks to the advancements in industry and technology, pre-packaged magnesium blocks were invented. These disposable magnesium blocks make installation and use more convenient and faster, solving many problems for journalists.

Immediately afterwards, a young girl bent over, one hand pressed to her chest to cover her neckline, and got out of the car.

A beautiful girl appeared, and the professional movie fans started screaming again. They were as enthusiastic as real movie fans, and some even tried to push forward with autographed copies. The atmosphere had almost reached its peak! Although Lin Qi was not an actor, he was still very popular in this circle.

Handsome, young, rich, with a wider profile and greater influence than any celebrity, he is a star who is not a star.

The girl standing next to him was the same girl who had accompanied him to a premiere before.

The girl's agency was invited again. As their top young star, the girl was naturally a priority. Regardless of the cost they spent to get her placed next to Lin Qi, Lin Qi was not averse to the arrangement.

At least he had contact with girls and didn't dislike pretty girls.

"Thank you!" The girl gracefully expressed her gratitude for Lin Qi's gentlemanly gesture. She stood beside Lin Qi, straightened her long dress, and then walked with Lin Qi on the red carpet.

The screams, cheers, and shouts of her name blended together into a cacophony.

She tries her best to present her most perfect self to everyone, including reporters, and she becomes somewhat obsessed with it.

It's hard for an 18-year-old girl to resist everything here after her birthday. Everyone probably has this dream: that they are the center of the world and the whole world revolves around them.

At this moment, the girl seemed to be the center of the world, and people were all promoting her.

"You're walking a little too slowly..." The girl, who was lost in her own world, was suddenly interrupted by a sentence. She turned to look at Lin Qi beside her, her face still somewhat blank.

Lin Qi quickened his pace slightly, "We should hurry, the flashes are too bright..."

Lin Qi's strength might not be very strong, but it was still irresistible compared to the girl's. At the same time, the girl had to match his speed to ensure that she wouldn't embarrass herself, but this was completely different from what her agent had told her.

The agency paid a hefty price to get her to be Lin Qi's date at the premiere again, and they naturally hoped to get a good return on their investment. Walking slowly on the red carpet was one of those rewards.

With Lin Qi here, no security guards would run over to tell them that there were still people waiting for them and that their time was up. People would just smile and offer them praise and blessings.

But despite all their calculations, they hadn't considered this aspect of Lin Qi himself.

Seeing Lin Qi and the girl suddenly accelerate, the agent, who was still in a daze just a second ago, was dumbfounded. The red carpet walk, which was originally expected to take three to eight minutes, was already halfway there.

If we don't do anything about it, it might be over in a minute!

She snatched an autograph board from a fan who was resting nearby, pushed her way forward, and shouted loudly when she was not far from the girl, "Give me an autograph, I'm your biggest fan..."

The girl, who was at a loss, turned around with surprise upon hearing the familiar voice. She glanced at her agent and then stopped in her tracks.

The sudden force on his forearm and beside him made Lin Qi stop as well. The girl bit her lip and looked at Lin Qi like a girl craving a piece of candy. Her pitiful eyes were hard to refuse.

Lin Qi released his forearm, and a bright smile immediately appeared on the girl's clean face. People gasped in surprise because of the girl's dazzling smile.

"You're so smart, how did you come up with this idea?" the girl asked while signing autographs for her agent.

The agent, a woman in her thirties dressed in a neutral style, lowered her head and said with a wry smile, "What else can I do? If I don't come over, this is the end for you two!"

"Could we talk to him and ask him to slow down?" the manager asked in a low voice. The girl shook her head, and the manager started thinking of other solutions, "Then let him sign more autographs for the fans..."

The girl nodded calmly, and just as she was about to reach for the other autographed copies, Lin Qi stopped her.

With a somewhat apologetic expression, he apologized to fans, whether they were genuine or not, saying, "I'm sorry, there are still people waiting behind us. Please forgive us for not being able to stay for too long. I hope you can understand."

His gentle tone, clean smile, and handsome face made people hesitate, but they all withdrew their hands.

The girl looked at her agent with despair, and her agent looked at the girl with equal despair, watching the girl take Lin Qi's arm again, watching them walk down the red carpet faster than most people! As they entered the theater, Lin Qi glanced at the girl beside him and said softly, "People like you not because you have a few more photos in the newspapers or a few more articles about you, but because you do things that people should like. But I believe that doesn't include lingering on the red carpet."

The girl's expression was somewhat desperate. This bastard was unlike any other man she had ever met; he had no manners whatsoever. But the blows weren't over yet.

After the two signed their names in the sign-in book, Lin Qi said, "I noticed that your handwriting is very bad. As a public figure, you should set an example as you should, which can also be said to be a responsibility."

"The public pays attention to you because they hope you can bring positive things to everyone, and that's what you should embody. You should practice your handwriting more often, even if it's just your signature."

The soft lighting helped the girl hide her shame and embarrassment. She didn't want to say anything now, and just hoped the premiere would end soon.

Next time, she absolutely refuses to be Lin Qi's date again; that man is a lunatic.

Her agent and agency were so worried that Lin Qi would take advantage of her that they were extremely nervous and even gave her some targeted training on how to deal with harassment.

Some people even said that if Lin Qi really showed a certain inclination, it might be possible for the girl to date Lin Qi, like holding hands.

The two are of similar age, and even if they were destined to break up from the beginning, this could still give the girl some character development.

These people are just wishful thinking, they're completely delusional. The girl really wanted to ask Lin Qi, "Are you fucking gay?"
