Chapter 110 - A Banquet

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Quinn and Pauline stayed in the office for the whole morning. During this time, the most famous stylist and makeup artist from Golden Star Agency also came to the office. They customized the style and the make-up according to Quinn’s appearance.

Quinn still preferred to rely on his abilities rather than relying on his looks to make a living.

“Then work hard on your acting skills and rely on your work to speak for you.”

Pauline closed the document and gave a summary of all the plans for the entire morning. 

Quinn stood up from his chair and stretched.

“After sitting for the entire morning, my shoulders have become stiff.”

Upon hearing Quinn mentioned this, Paul added, “Oh right, when we were shooting the advertisement, I heard from your martial arts teacher that your body is too stiff, so I will arrange for you to take a body-building and dance lesson in the future.”

Quinn sat on the chair, completely paralyzed.

Physical fitness class? Dance class? These were what he feared the most.

He had taken a physical fitness class when he was a model overseas, so his posture was very good. After all, he was a famous model.

However, he couldn’t do anything about his stiff body.

When he thought about how he might be forced to be flexible by the physical fitness teacher, he felt that his ligaments were already starting to hurt.

In the afternoon, it was the annual banquet hosted by Golden Star Agency.

Golden Star would hold two banquets every year due to its leading position in the industry.

One during spring and another one during autumn.

The timing chosen was good. Spring and autumn clothes often had the most prominent designs.

Therefore, many famous designers would work with celebrities, hoping that through these celebrities, their work would get better exposure.

The fashion designer that Quinn had worked with was a foreign designer named Emma Lerick, and she won many international awards every year. 

However, she didn’t produce many pieces of work, only about a dozen each year.

As Emma’s favorite model, Quinn was the apple of Emma’s eyes.

For example, Quinn had mentioned to Emma on the phone a few days ago about this banquet, and two days later, he received a set of clothes delivered by air from Emma.

Quinn was tall and slim. When he came out after changing his clothes, his assistant was dumbfounded.

As Pauline was worried that there would be a scandal, she had specially chosen a male assistant for Quinn. The male assistant was very young, two years younger than Quinn.

However, he had already been in this industry for several years.

He could be considered a know-it-all.

He knew a little about everything, so Pauline had arranged for him to be with Quinn, so that he could give Quinn a brief lesson on the domestic entertainment industry.

“You look so handsome!” The assistant gave him a sincere thumbs up.

Quinn was also very satisfied with his appearance today. He tidied up his collar and brushed his hair in a smug manner to make sure that he looked perfect.

Then, he followed the schedule and arrived at the banquet hall with his assistant.

Since it was a banquet hosted by Golden Star, the venue was great.

When Quinn’s car was parked steadily at the entrance of the hotel, there were already two rows of reporters standing at the entrance.

There was a red carpet stretching from the entrance of the hotel all the way to where Quinn’s car was parked. There were also some colorful confetti sprinkled on the red carpet.

It looked formal yet lively.

Quinn had long been used to the spotlight and flash. Before getting out of the car, he put on a “world-weary face” that was essential for international supermodels.

Then, he strode onto the red carpet.

Along the way, he did not forget to show a specially trained smile for the reporters to take photos.

On both sides of the red carpet stood not only the reporters, but also fans who had bought tickets.

Quinn could clearly hear his fans shouting slogans and he gave a response.

The red carpet, which was nearly 50 meters long, quickly came to an end.

Suddenly, the reporters’ cameras turned around again.

Behind them, there was an even louder cheer.

Quinn turned around and saw a posh black sports car stopping at the entrance.

“That’s the car of last year’s best actor, Alejandro Baker. I saw his post on Instagram a few days ago, he mentioned that he had changed to a sports car.”

The door of the sports car was opened from the inside. The reporters had already surrounded it, so Quinn couldn’t see anything.

He then followed his assistant and signed in first.

Quinn knew about Alejandro Baker. When he was overseas, he had seen the western media mention this promising young actor.

According to Quinn’s assistant, Alejandro Baker was born in the same year as Quinn. However, in terms of months, Quinn was five months older than Alejandro.

The route to Alejandro’s success was also impressive.

He entered the entertainment industry because he had to help his family pay off their debts. In the beginning, he could only take up small roles, but suddenly, one day he got the leading role in a movie by a well-known male director.

From this movie onwards, Alejandro’s subsequent movies were of good quality. The script and director were excellent, as if they were in the right place at the right time for him.

“So, basically, you still have to rely on good connections and hard work to become famous..”
