389 Chapter 389: Spokesperson For This Years film Festival (1/2)

Kylie was a little surprised.

It was very uncommon that a director would ask about an actor's personal affairs.

Although it was an abrupt question, Kylie still explained with a smile. ”It's not a publicity stunt. In fact, we...” Right at this moment, a host walked onto the stage and announced the beginning of this film festival.

Kylie stopped talking in an instant and listened to the host with full attention.

Four shortlisted films competing for the Best Film were announced at first.

One was an Indian film, and the other three were British films, among which was Director Keys' work.

The host was hilarious and joked that Director Keys had long occupied the Best Film award and suggested that he could leave it to a new director this year.

Several trailers were projected on the big screen, and Director Keys won the Best Film award once again at the end.

”Actually, I think his work this year isn't as exciting as the one in the last year,” Kylie said. ”It just seems better compared with other shortlisted films.”

”Mm.” The assistant director made a sound to show his agreement.

Kylie turned to look at him, waiting for his opinions on the shortlisted films this year.

However, the assistant director didn't give her a glance, nor the stage, but the seats on the nearby second floor.

The lights were dim, so Kylie couldn't see who was sitting on the second floor, but she clearly noticed the assistant director's strange expression.

He frowned with cold eyes.

The lights on the stage flashed fast. All of a sudden, it was swept by the assistant director's cheek.

In normal days, the assistant director kept his beard, but he had specially shaved it in order to participate in such an important event today. Therefore, Kylie was able to see a scar under his ear.

Why is there a scar on his face?

An idea dawned on Kylie. She remembered the human-skin mask Ethan had told her before.

The assistant director touched his nose when he found out Kylie was staring at him. ”What's wrong?”

”Nothing, I just think the actress sitting over there looks quite familiar,” Kylie said to cover her suspicion.

The assistant director looked over, following the direction which Kylie's finger pointed to. ”I don't know her.”

”Really?” Kylie pretended to be surprised. ”She probably has acted a role in a famous science fiction film.”

The assistant director looked over again, then nodded. ”Probably. The lights are too dim, and I can't see her face clearly.”

Hearing that, Kylie got nervous.

In fact, she just tested the assistant director on purpose, and she actually didn't know the actress herself. The actress hadn't acted a role in a famous science fiction film either!

To Kylie's surprise, the assistant director agreed with her on whatever she said.

While watching the ceremony, Kylie found that the assistant director was always touching or rubbing his nose. He almost did that once in a few minutes.

Kylie was growingly suspicious. ”How's the audience's opinions on our film after it's in theaters?” she asked the assistant director.

”Well...” The assistant director stopped for a second, then said to Kylie all of a sudden,

”Look, it's about to award the Most Popular Actor.”

The more unwilling he was to answer Kylie's question, the more suspicious Kylie was of him.

She turned to look at the stage, and there were all worldwide famous actors who went to accept the awards. One of them was absent today, so her agent took the award on behalf of her.
