Kong Lu, seemingly trying to prove something to herself, took out the Divine Immortal Water from her bag. The bottle was already half-used, indicating that Kong Lu was indeed using it.
Yan Shuang saw this and curiously asked, "What exactly is this thing? I've never seen it before."
Kong Lu rolled her eyes at Yan Shuang and said, "This is the Divine Immortal Water invented by Divine Doctor Ling. How could you not know that?"
Yan Shuang was a bit surprised and asked, "What does the Divine Immortal Water do?"
Kong Lu snorted and said, "You should practice your English well. You don't need to know about this stuff."
Yan Shuang snorted back and started searching on her tablet again.
Ling Zhenfei was also quite helpless, thinking that Yan Shuang is likely the kind of girl who is usually very quiet and doesn't do much besides acting in movies.
She doesn't stir up drama, doesn't form cliques in the entertainment industry, and doesn't understand many things in this circle.
At this time, Kong Lu said, "Mr. Ling, tell us, have you invented any new medicine yet?"
Ling Zhenfei replied, "I invented the elixir for youth preservation and the Divine Immortal Water for skincare. Do you think I need to invent other medicines?"
Kong Lu said, "Of course you do. For example, an elixir for weight loss, one for regulating hormones, and one for growing taller."
Ling Zhenfei didn't want to say much after hearing this; like treating diseases, Ling Zhenfei aims to treat illnesses that others can't cure. If other hospitals can handle a disease, he doesn't need to intervene.
At this time, the host on stage was speaking in an incredibly captivating manner. There were two people on stage, one a very famous host, Jin Hua.
The other was a highly renowned movie star in the entertainment industry, Li Hai.
At this time, Kong Lu whispered to Ling Zhenfei, "See, that's Li Hai. You should know him. I heard Li Hai secretly pursues Li Yuetong."
Ling Zhenfei wasn't aware of Li Hai's pursuit of Li Yuetong, but it's quite normal for someone to chase after such a beautiful girl like Li Yuetong.
Ling Zhenfei glanced over at Li Hai; this Li Hai wasn't bad, at least Ling Zhenfei had watched his movies, and his acting was quite decent.
To be crowned Best Actor definitely requires strength, but he also has several negative rumors and has been involved in scandals with many female celebrities. However, whether those are true or false is unknown.
Naturally, Ling Zhenfei doesn't easily believe the online hype, and without meeting the person in reality, he refrains from judging.
This Li Hai not only acts in movies but can also host, which shows his fundamental skills are quite impressive.
As an actor, hosting is a normal thing.
But for some reason, when Ling Zhenfei looked over at Li Hai, Li Hai also looked back at him, their eyes meeting.
Even though the two were quite far apart, Ling Zhenfei could feel the killing aura in Li Hai's gaze.
There were quite a few awards to be given that evening, but if it was just about giving awards, it would be too quick. So they interspersed with some performances by actors.
For example, after handing out two awards, there would be guest performers singing and dancing, to avoid being too stiff.
As the awards were given, the ceremony reached one climax after another.
Jiang Xing won Best Screenwriter and went up to give a speech.
Jiang Xing was still a bit excited, as winning this award was a form of recognition for him.
"Thank you so much, everyone, for granting me this award. I promise to deliver my best work to all of you."
After finishing his speech, Jiang Xing was about to leave but was stopped by Jin Hua.
"Mr. Jiang, please wait."
Normally, Jiang Xing isn't very talkative, and didn't intend to say much, but with Jin Hua stopping him, he couldn't just leave.
Jin Hua said, "I believe Mr. Jiang is truly deserving of this screenwriter award. His crafting of the work is remarkable; each character is vivid and lively, capturing their essence."
Jiang Xing quickly said, "You're really flattering me. I still have shortcomings to improve."
Jin Hua asked, "So, is Mr. Jiang satisfied with yourself and the work?"
Jiang Xing replied, "Life is our teacher. Originally, I was satisfied, but after meeting Mr. Ling Zhenfei today and hearing about a story he shared—no, a true event—I feel it's even more captivating than my script, hence my work has its shortcomings."
Jin Hua was very surprised, as were the surrounding people.
Of course, the most surprised was Ling Zhenfei; he never expected Jiang Xing to mention him, which was quite unbelievable.
Those nearby subconsciously glanced at Ling Zhenfei, evidently very surprised.
Then Jin Hua asked, "Can you tell us what kind of story it is, to have our Best Screenwriter say it?"
Jiang Xing replied, "I can't reveal it now. Once it's turned into a movie, everyone will know."
Jin Hua, still surprised, asked, "Is it going to be made into a TV series?"
Jiang Xing said, "Though I didn't intend to share, I couldn't resist sharing that this film, based on a true event involving Mr. Ling, has already started development.
The storyline is ready; I'll just do some editing as the screenwriter, and then have director Zhang Hongfei film it. We strive to capture the reality of the event."
Originally, Jin Hua was just casually trying to converse with Jiang Xing, but he didn't expect Jiang Xing to take the opportunity to openly promote something, catching the show's crew off guard.
At this moment, by the side, Li Hai joked, "Advertisements are supposed to cost money. Our ad slots are really expensive."
People around laughed, and Jin Hua quickly ushered Jiang Xing off the stage.
Li Hai remarked, "The entertainment industry is really something; anyone with a bit of fame thinks they've entered it, but please don't ruin our film industry."
Upon hearing Li Hai's words, many were shocked. If isolated, the remark seems fine, but when combined with Jiang Xing's previous remarks, there's an issue.
Clearly he's referring to Ling Zhenfei. Of course, Ling Zhenfei is famous.
Many place Ling Zhenfei in the entertainment circle, and now he's going to make a movie with Jiang Xing and Zhang Hongfei.
Li Hai's comment about not harming their film industry clearly refers to Ling Zhenfei.
Certainly, Ling Zhenfei understands that Li Hai's words target him.
Originally, Ling Zhenfei thought Li Hai was alright, but now he sees this troublemaking demeanor as unreasonable.
Even if a movie is being made, Ling Zhenfei only told his story, with Jiang Xing adapting and Zhang Hongfei filming. Even if Ling Zhenfei has a cameo, it doesn't matter.
But Li Hai's remarks on stage, before hundreds of media outlets nationwide, before so many celebrities and viewers in front of TVs and computers nationwide, were clearly aimed at demeaning Ling Zhenfei.
Ling Zhenfei doesn't understand why Li Hai said such things, perhaps due to the matter involving Li Yuetong.
At this time, the award ceremony continued, and beside Ling Zhenfei, Yan Shuang whispered, "You're amazing, not just a Divine Doctor, but also inventing medicines."
