I’m Really a Superstar

Chapter 1296: The big wedding (Middle)

Translator: Legge Editor: Legge

In the open-air garden.

At the wedding venue.

The media was already in position.

The relatives of the bride and groom had also arrived. They had all been ushered into the venue in advance, while the celebrity guests were required to walk the red carpet for the reporters to take pictures. Because of that, they were all held in the waiting area and would enter the venue one by one. As for Zhang Ye's colleagues from Peking University and Media College, this wasn't required of them as no one would know who they were even if they walked the red carpet, nor would there be any reporters taking pictures of them. As a result, all of them were brought in by the staff of Zhang Ye's Studio the moment they arrived.

At this moment, there were only two celebrities inside the venue.

One of them was Beijing Television's Dong Shanshan.

The other one was Central TV Sports Channel's Yu Yingyi.

Both of Zhang Ye's old classmates had been asked to be the emcees of his wedding.

Dong Shanshan was holding a microphone and standing at the innermost area of the red carpet. She looked at the cordoned off reporters on both sides of the red carpet and said with a smile, "Dear friends of the media, distinguished guests, friends and relatives, good morning. Today is a day worth remembering as it is the day that my old classmate takes a step into married life."

Yu Yingyi brought up her microphone and said with a smile, "We were classmates with Zhang Ye in university for many years and also colleagues of his, as well as really good friends too. When he invited us to host his wedding, we refused him at first. Shanshan and I are both still single while he's already going to be married. Do you think we will not be affected by that?"

Wang He.

Hu Feifei.

Old Wang.

Their group of old classmates clamored, "Of course we're affected!"

Everyone laughed.

Not far away on the red carpet, Zhang Ye could be heard shouting, "Hey, hurry up and don't say those useless things. I've been waiting forever!"

The reporters also laughed.

Yu Yingyi said, "See, the groom is already getting nervous."

Dong Shanshan said loudly while laughing, "So then, let us welcome today's most handsome, most charming, and most enviable groom, Zhang Ye!"

Cheers sounded from all around!

Applause thundered!

The reporters were immediately excited as they aimed their cameras!

Zhang Ye, who was wearing a tuxedo, walked in via the red carpet.

The reporters shouted.

"Slow down!"

"Teacher Zhang, please walk slowly!"

"Turn around for us!"

"Look over here!"

"Go even slower than that!"

"Teacher Zhang, please wave to us!"

"Aiyo, that awful toothpaste ad is too glaring!"

"Can someone go and take away that Brain Gold ad!"

Kacha, kacha. The lenses all zoomed in at him!

Zhang Ye was quite cooperative and allowed the reporters to get as many pictures as they wanted.

When he reached the inside of the venue, Zhang Ye relaxed and went to greet his friends and relatives.

Fang Weihong came over. "Teacher Zhang, congratulations!"

Zhang Ye smiled and said, "Sister Fang, Sister Zhang isn't here?"

Fang Weihong said, "Sister Zhang is filming overseas over the course these days and couldn't make it today. But she still got me to come over to congratulate you."

Zhang Ye said, "Alright then, feel free to have a seat anywhere you like. Please forgive me if I didn't take good care of you."

Fang Weihong smiled and said, "Go on and handle whatever you need to."

Several of his old classmates came over.

Wang He greeted, "Zhang'er!"

Hu Feifei fumed, "You're not much of a friend!"

Old Wang belly laughed. "Yeah, you hid the secret too well!"

Xiaoqian said, "You don't know this, but when we heard the news of your wedding, we fell to the ground. You're so impressive in getting Chief Wu marry you!"

Zhang Ye grinned. "Hai, it's nothing much."

Wang He laughed and said, "Will there be any crashing of the bridal chamber since this is a Chinese ceremony?"

"Of course." Zhang Ye said happily, "Crash it all you want."

Xiaoqian rolled her eyes. "Get lost!"

Hu Feifei burst out laughing. "Out of everyone who is here today, who would try to crash your bridal chamber? Alright, you don't have to stand around to entertain us. Go do what you have to and take care of those people from the SARFT. We're all your friends, so it doesn't really matter to us."

Zhang Ye said, "Alright, I'll go over to them first then. The official ceremony won't be taking place here. There won't be any reporters either and it'll only be us, so let's talk again later."

Over at the SARFT's group.

Old Wu's colleagues and subordinates were all having something to drink. There was a catered buffet, and it consisted of both Chinese and Western food. There were also red and white wines available, with nothing missing. But it was obviously a little quieter here. The rest of the guests mostly knew each other as they came from the same industry. All of them could make small talk upon meeting each other. However, the guests from the SARFT were a little lonelier. At this place, there weren't too many people who could really chat with them. After all, the SARFT as an overseeing authority in the entertainment industry made their roles very special. To mention those who were usually in contact with them, they were usually people from entertainment companies, as well as some executives of the television stations. But if you were talking about the celebrities in show business? There really weren't any opportunities for them to speak directly with the SARFT. Their fields were too different, and they had nothing in common to talk about!

However, it was different now!

Today, a celebrity from the entertainment industry was finally able to speak directly with the SARFT!

Zhang Ye went over to them and said, "Everyone, sorry for not hosting well."

A chief quickly said, "Mr. Zhang, you're too polite`."

A division head said, "Mr. Zhang, congratulations to you!"

Another division head said, "Congratulations on your wedding. May you be blessed with a child soon!"

Zhang Ye said, "Thank you!"

Instead, it was the group of people from the SARFT who were feeling a little excluded and somewhat embarrassed. They had also had quite a rivalry with Zhang Ye. It wasn't anything official, but there was a lot of behind-the-scenes fighting that took place. For example, the banned artists of which Zhang Ye was part of, and an earlier instance where Zhang Ye was listed on the SARFT's blacklist and was identified as the top target. Still, in the end, Zhang Ye became their leader's husband just like that. They didn't know whether to laugh or cry. They didn't really know how they should interact with him. But since he was their leader's husband, they might as well just address him as "Mr. Zhang." It wouldn't be wrong to be more polite to him in any case.

His three sisters were also here!

His eldest younger sister said, "Brother!"

His second sister asked anxiously, "Where are the celebrities? Where are they?"

Zhang Ye went over and said, "They're all at the back and will be here soon."

His third sister blinked and said, "Can we freely ask for autographs and photos with them?"

Zhang Ye laughed. "Of course, please ask them all you want. If they don't give in to your requests, come and look for me!"

"Long live our brother!" his third sister said very excitedly!

Zhang Ye looked into the distance and called out, "Chenchen, stop running around!"

Chenchen was over at the buffet chomping down on food. She said with her mouth full, "OK."

Zhang Ye asked, "Where's your aunt?"

Chenchen gestured with her chin. "Handling the reporters."

As Zhang Ye's agent, Rao Aimin did not have it easy today.

Turning around, he saw his friends from the Ministry of Public Security's Internet Surveillance Bureau arriving!

Fan Yingyun was walking at the front. "Teacher Zhang, congratulations!"

Dong Zhiqiang.

Fang Xiaoshui.

Meng Yi.

They were all colleagues of Zhang Ye's when he was attached to the Internet Surveillance Bureau. They took part in the Sino-Korean hacking war together, but of course, they did not know that Zhang Ye had taken part in it.

Zhang Ye smiled and said, "Sister Fan, Director Dong, Little Fang, I thought you guys wouldn't be coming."

Fan Yingyun flicked her hair and said, "How can we not come to your wedding? We would throw aside all our work just to be here!"

Awhile after greeting them, Zhang Ye pulled Fan Yingyun aside. "I was just looking for you. Come, come." He then shouted across the room. "Sister Ha, Brother Zuo!"

When Ha Qiqi and Zhang Zuo heard him, they ran over.

"Director Zhang?"

"What's the matter?"

Zhang Ye smiled and pointed at Fan Yingyun. "You've never had the chance to get to know each other, but since we've all gathered here today, let me introduce you to someone. This is an old friend who has been fighting alongside me ever since my debut. Her name is Fan Yingyun, and she's also the current leader of my fan club. She's in charge of managing all the other fans too, although she doesn't care about what goes on internally. All she does is lead the group to fight."

When Ha Qiqi heard that, she responded in awe, "Big Saber Bro?"

Zhang Zuo was also dumbfounded. "Big Saber Bro is a female comrade?"

Fan Yingyun shrugged. "Yeah."

A woman?

And she was even such a beautiful woman?

The two of them were very surprised. They'd both witnessed how Big Saber Bro had led the online fan club to slay whoever scolded Zhang Ye. But that dominance was totally mismatched with this very beautiful woman standing before them!

His mother shouted, "Little Ye, Grandpa and Grandma are calling for you."

"Coming, coming!" Zhang Ye said to them, "Have fun talking, guys. I have to leave."

His family.

His friends from Peking University.

His colleagues from Media College.

Zhang Ye greeted his guests one by one, leaving himself with barely any time at all.

On the red carpet, it was finally time for the celebrities to enter the venue.

Everyone turned their attention over there.

The reporters even looked like they were injected with adrenaline!

Dong Shanshan raised her microphone and said, "Let's welcome our celebrity guests for today, Chen Guang and Fan Wenli!"

The couple walked in slowly, all smiles.

Yu Yingyi said loudly, "A warm welcome to our famous director, Li Ke!"

The best Chinese film director, Li Ke, was also here.

Dong Shanshan said, "Let's welcome the famous songstress, Teacher Zhang Xia!"

Zhang Xia was dressed in a gown that looked very ceremonious.

Yu Yingyi said, "Let's welcome the not famous crosstalk actor, but famous actor, Teacher Yao Jiancai and family."

Yao Jiancai and his family were here too.

Dong Shanshan smiled and said, "Please welcome Spring Garden's Xiaodong, Amy, and Li Xiaoxian."

With every person introduced, Zhang Ye stood there and welcomed them with a hug before exchanging a few words.

There were not a lot of celebrity guests with slightly less than 20 names announced before the red carpet event was completed.

However, it wasn't until Dong Shanshan and Yu Yingyi came around to announcing the last person's name that all of the guests, friends, relatives, and reporters at the venue got fired up!

Dong Shanshan smiled and said, "Let's have our last guest walk down the red carpet now!"

Yu Yingyi said in awe, "This guest is quite amazing. It's a foreign friend."

Dong Shanshan looked at everyone. "Can anyone guess who it is?"

A foreigner?

Who was it?

Would a nationalistic young man like Zhang Ye have any foreign friends?

Yu Yingyi said at the top of her voice, "Please welcome international film star—Lillian!"

Watching the redhead walking down slowly on the red carpet!

The media was shocked!

The guests were stunned!

Lillian was here?

She's an international superstar!

Zhang Ye and Lillian had only performed one song together at the Olympics opening ceremony. Was their friendship this strong? Was Zhang Ye so influential that he could invite her?

The reporters snapped shots like crazy!

The atmosphere at the scene was thrust to a high!

This was a guest that pleasantly surprised everyone!

Lillian elegantly strode towards Zhang Ye where she whispered with a laugh, "Hello, fellow smoker."
