As everyone packed up their materials and prepared to leave, she glanced at the photographer, then at the reporter who was interviewing her. In the end, she couldn't hold back her desire and whispered,
"Sister Su."
While helping to collect the equipment, she asked:
"After you guys get in the car later, can I take a taxi back to the company later?"
Su Min was a little confused, so Tao Tao begged:
"I like Jiang Se very much. She is my idol. I just asked around. The main actors will go out of the IMAX third safety passage and go down to the garage. I want to ask her for an autograph and take a photo with her."
She clasped her hands together, her face full of pleading:
"Please."
Tao Tao's colleagues in Longxing Studio are all aware of her love for Jiang Se. They also know that in order to have a chance to get close to her idol tonight, she begged her boss for a long time and agreed to work overtime for two months before she could go to the scene.
However, after arriving at the scene, she did not have the opportunity to talk to Jiang Se. Now that the show was almost over, it was not excessive for her to make this request.
Su Min raised her wrist to check the time and tapped her watch:
"Go back to the company before twelve o'clock. There are still some materials to be sorted out. Make sure it's the first news tomorrow morning."
Tao Tao jumped up, looking excited:
"I promise!"
The people from Longxing Studio left first. Tao Tao had already asked the theater staff about the location of the third safety passage. She put on her backpack and didn't even bother to take the elevator. She ran downstairs along the stairs.
There was no heating in the garage. She was wearing a pink coat and still felt a little cold, but her heart was warm.
She thought about what she would say and what questions she would ask when she saw Jiang Se later, how she would express her love for her, how she would explain her purpose, and how she would ask for her autograph and take a photo with her.
The more she thought about it, the more excited she became. The elevator had already gone down the garage. With a soft "ding" sound, the door opened and a group of people came out of the elevator. Tao Tao saw Jiang Se in the crowd at a glance.
Her height gives her a natural advantage among the crowd. Her straight long legs wrapped in jeans and wearing a pair of ankle boots make her look simple, neat and handsome.
Jiang Se had already removed her makeup, and her waist-length black hair was draped behind her, smooth and silky.
She keeps her dress simple and low-key, yet has a temperament that is hard to ignore.
The courage that she had accumulated earlier was mostly lost the moment she saw Jiang Se. Tao Tao stepped forward a little nervously and called out softly:
"Jiang Se." When she called Jiang Se, she clasped her hands in front of her abdomen, her body was shaking, and her voice was trembling. She didn't know if she was cold after standing here for a long time, or because she was nervous. She was waiting for Jiang Se's response.
A group of people who were talking stopped. Fan Zhiyun looked at Tao Tao and then at Jiang Se. Judging from the situation, there should be fans waiting.
It would be a lie to say that she was not jealous at all, but Fan Zhiyun maintained her proper composure. When Jiang Se saw this, he said goodbye to a few people in advance. After Lin Xiwen and others left, the fans in front of him were so excited that they were at a loss and even their speech was incoherent.
"I watched "Beijing Events" and I really liked your performance as Doukou."
Tao Tao held on to the straps of her backpack with both hands to relieve the nervousness and pressure she felt when meeting her idol.
"Yes," she instinctively reached out to touch the work badge on her chest, but found nothing. She remembered that she had put the work badge away earlier.
She saw Mo Anqi, who was a little wary beside Jiang Se, and hurriedly tried to look through her bag, but Jiang Se smiled:
"You are a reporter from Long Xing Studio. Your name is Tao Tao, right?"
Tao Tao paused while rummaging through her bag, looked up, and asked in disbelief:
"do you remember me?"
Her eyes were wide open and watery, making her look very cute.
Jiang Se nodded. She did remember Tao Tao. At the premiere of "Beijing Events", a reporter from Longxing Studio asked sharp questions, but she retorted on the spot. The next person to interview her was this nervous new reporter.
When she was sure that she still remembered herself, Tao Tao covered her mouth with her hand, and her eyes were quickly covered with a layer of moisture. At this moment, she was incredibly excited and her mood was soaring. She heard the "boom boom boom" of her heartbeat in her ears, and her feet even stomped twice on the ground in a somewhat incoherent manner, speaking incoherently:
"I didn't expect you to remember."
Tao Tao really didn't expect Jiang Se would still remember her. She took several deep breaths, put her hands together and kept fanning her face, trying to keep herself calm.
"I, last time, at the opening ceremony of "Beijing Grand Event", I was the one who interviewed you." She was a little proud, but also a little frustrated:
"But I'm still a newcomer and I'm not doing very well."
The editor-in-chief thought that the interview report was not good and ultimately did not adopt it. Whenever Tao Tao thought about this incident, she felt very regretful.
"Everyone grows up as a newcomer. When the filming of "Beijing Grand Event" was launched, I was also a newcomer. It was also my first time to accept a one-on-one interview with a reporter."
Jiang Se's words stunned Tao Tao. Many years later, she still remembered the scene in the parking garage downstairs of the IMAX theater. Her idol comforted her seriously and calmed her nervousness and panic.
She did not dismiss Tao Tao casually with a few words just because she was a new reporter, nor did she say anything high-sounding to show the high status of her idol.
Under the dim light of the garage, she patiently signed autographs for herself and agreed to take photos with her, even though she was not wearing any makeup or a beautiful dress.
She was fully aware of her identity as a reporter, but she did not shy away from asking her not to circulate the photos of her without makeup.
Even many years later, Tao Tao has collected photos of Jiang Se attending many events and many beautiful photos of her, but in her heart, this photo of the two of them in the underground parking garage with poor lighting is what she considers to be the most precious memory. She feels that Jiang Se in this photo is unique.
That kind of true beauty comes from the inside out. It is not created by gorgeous clothes or exquisite makeup, but by a decent and generous attitude and highly cultured manners.
After leaving the garage, Tao Tao was still a little dizzy. She was actually older than Jiang Se, but in front of Jiang Se, she behaved like a gaffe-prone child.
When she returned to the company, her face was still a little red. The seniors who stayed behind to work overtime said that she didn't look like she had gone to meet her idol, but rather like she had just met her lover.
Su Min asked curiously:
"What is Jiang Se like? Is he a good person in private?"
Tao Tao bit her lip and replied seriously:
"Sister Su, I like her more!"
People on the Internet like to compare Jiang Se and Feng Nan who debuted at the same time. Their first drama was "Rescue Operation" and they were both admitted to top universities. They are academic masters and among the new generation of actors, they are both female stars with great acting skills.
It is said that Feng Nan comes from a noble family and is the daughter of a wealthy family, which makes her much better than Jiang Se.
But in Tao Tao's opinion, she didn't know what a real rich girl looked like, but in her heart, the so-called lady of fame should be like Jiang Se, who said seriously that she was also a newcomer, took a photo with her with a smile, and signed her notebook with her head down, without being perfunctory, and truly showed herself in front of her.
