Chapter 280 - 283: Vivian Walters, a Hyped Vase
The host’s questions were already prepared in advance.
Having newcomer as the director for such a star-studded cast could dispel suspicions of unspoken rules, but it might also lead to criticism from the host.
If David Redington could give the director a positive evaluation, the other famous actors wouldn’t have much to say.
Upon hearing this, David gently lowered his eyes and smiled: “As you all know, 1 made my debut by filming Mr. Reynaid Collins’s movie. The reputation of Mr. Collins is well-regarded, I believe everyone here can attest to that.”
With that said, he turned to Lily Gray and boldly winked at her even in front of the camera.
His deep blue eyes were suddenly attracting the attention of the audience, causing them to scream nonstop, even if they were not the ones being winked at.
“Mr. Gray, I’ll leave the task of introducing our director to you. After all, you went to great lengths to invite this ‘hard-to-come-by’ newcomer director from Mr. Collins.”
The implication was that it was all thanks to Lily Gray’s efforts.
This was also an indirect way of establishing a serious and strict image for the Gray family within the industry.
Lily was momentarily stunned by David’s intimate gesture.
She never would have expected him to “flirt” with her in front of so many people!
Fortunately, she reacted quickly and snapped out of her shock.
As she took the microphone, she prayed silently while speaking.
She hoped that a certain someone was too busy to watch this news conference.
“Mr. Redington is too kind. In fact, our film’s director is not only a newcomer but a female director.” Lily Gray grabbed the microphone, flashing a charming smile, showing no trace of stage fright.
“She is Mr. Reynaid Collins’s last apprentice, highly praised by him. With her on board, I believe our movie ‘The Tale of The Beloved Mistress’ will definitely deliver a satisfactory result! Let’s welcome Skye Brown, Director Brown!”
Lily excitedly introduced her best friend to the stage.
It was only today when she spoke with Skye about the film that she found out that Skye was actually the director Mr. Collins sent to help her.
She had been unable to get in touch with Skye for the past several months because she had been traveling around with Mr. Collins to make movies.
Skye appeared on stage, wearing a handsome white suit that made her look tall and elegant. Her lightly made-up face was eye-catching, with two dimples making her even more attractive.
For a moment, the movie star heartthrob, Goddess, and beautiful director attracted all the media’s attention.
There was no doubt that the opening ceremony of ‘The Story of the Beloved Mistress’ would become the headline of major entertainment media the next day.

After the press conference, reporters flocked to the scene.
Countless microphones were handed to David Redington.
“David, could you please answer whether your earlier comments were in response to Vivian Walter’s so-called industry scandals?”
“Can we interpret that you’re standing up for the Grays!?”
David Redington responded with a deep voice to a microphone handed to him by a reporter, “What kind of person I am, I believe all of you have known for a long time. At least, I, David Redington, would never collaborate with a company of ill-repute.”
“As for Miss Vivian Walters…” He deliberately paused at this point.
A cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth, and his deep blue eyes hid behind his bangs. With his black hair, he looked both cold and mysterious.
The current David was quite different from his usual gentle and refined demeanor.
“The thing I least want to do in this industry is to work with vases that only know how to create hype.”
In other words, he was bluntly stating that Vivian Walters was just a vase who lacked talent and only knew how to create hype..
