Track Accident

At the end and the beginning of the year always filled with music festivals or awards for the domestic entertainment industry. There would be many events as a token of appreciation for artists, filmmakers, actors, and showbiz key figures. One of which was the Zephyr Gala – arguably the most anticipated show domestically and overseas.

The Zephyr Gala was an all-star entertainment event with a dazzling stage. With the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, the National Music Copyright Association, and the National Institute of Fine Arts as the organizer the event was bound to be spectacular.

The Zephyr Gala was 12 hours of uninterrupted live broadcast, combining the latest technology and showbiz trend to give a top-grade full fan service. The fans were treated by the performance by hundreds of artists, a hot stage where fans can enjoy close-up performances from idols, and a chance to witness all-star artists on the red carpet.

The highlight of the event was an award to entertainment industry players in various fields. The main winner will get the Zephyr Crown studded with precious gems and the charity foundation chosen by the winner will get a donation from the full profits made by this event on their behalf. Basically, this event was the grandest thank you and charity event.

Cindy finished her training and went straight to their dorm.

"Net, turn on the TV please."

"Yes, Cindy." The robotic AI voice answered, automatically turning on the TV.

As expected, the media was in full swing of the Zephyr Gala promotion. Don't say to the public and fans, this event was also a very important event of the year for the so-called star.

Founded about a decade ago, the Zephyr Gala was regarded as the most prominent social event in the entertainment industry. This was the only award show with festival style and supported by the government, music association, and higher education institute.

Historically, this event was a fundraising event organized by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism to increase the attractiveness of their country as a tourist destination. One of the work programs of the First Lady at that time was to provide awareness for the younger generation to pursue higher education so the two joined hands to create a brand new event to promote higher education as well as national tourism.

Therefore, the first lady's alma mater - the National Institute of Fine Arts was invited as a collaborator. Various breakthrough ideas gave birth to events in the festival style as they are known today. Because of this festival style, musicians who are members of the National Music Association volunteered as collaborators and set this event as a promotional event in education and tourism, as well as raising funds for scholarships for students in need.

The Zephyr Crown was a crown donated by a local jewelry company – Zephyr, as a form of support for their first national entertainment event. So that they got the opportunity to determine the name of this prestigious event. Until now, Zephyr continues to donate the crown every year. Making this crown the prize for the main winner who has contributed to society and the domestic entertainment industry.

"Turn it off."

Cindy tossed the water bottle in the trash and then got back into her running shoes. Some Stardust members already have individual schedules for year-end parties until early next year, and Fee even gets an offer as a red carpet MC. Cindy wasn't jealous of their success, she was just jealous of the opportunities Starlight gave her team members.

Stardust contract on last for 2 years and last year was the era of their group activity. Without proper limelight and channel, she never gain attention and now her presence was actually faded. She never checked on online comments but there was an official page the company made for stardust and one of her obligations was interacting with the fans.

There were times when no one asked about Cindy even though they knew Cindy was the member who answered at that time. It was enough to make someone discouraged but Cindy realized that this condition was not forever. With relentless hard work, an aspiring actress seems to be able to qualify as the final member of the talent show. He is also indebted to the people who voted for him to the final stage.

The wheel is always turning and the gloomy times that Cindy is currently feeling will surely pass.

With a lighter feeling and a clearer mind, Cindy stopped running. This running track was not far from the Stardust dorm location. It was an all-weather, six-lane Mondo 400-metre track – with two eight-lane 100-meter straights and a fully floodlit track area.

She was just coming out of one of the exits when she heard a man's voice sounding hurt, "Please don't do this. I'm dating you very seriously and take marriage as the prerequisite."

Cindy had clearly gotten into the area where someone broke up with their lover. She only had one life and she treasured her life perfectly, she wouldn't enter this battlefield and decided to turn around…

CRACK-

Screw you undisciplined person that threw their trash in the exit hallways!

"Who's there?"

Cindy cursed internally and run out to another exit. She could only pray that her speeds outrun them or they were not interested in knowing who accidentally eavesdropped on them.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, a certain airport in the northern part of the city was already crowded with people.

At first glance, the black and crushing heads were all human heads. Several people held light signs together, and some were holding large doll gifts with various SLRs hanging on their chests. They were men and women, and they wore different clothes.

Most of them were in their twenties.

They squeezed and squeezed in the area defined by the protective line, smelling the sweat on each other indifferently, and craning their necks. Looking at the exit ahead.

They have been standing here for two hours, their legs and feet are numb, and they keep yawning, but none of them leave early, with anticipation written on their faces.

A figure appeared through the glass door, and it could only be judged that it was a man, but it was not enough to see his appearance.

But this was enough.

Like a drop of a stone thrown into the peaceful wave heart, the fragmented noises of fans suddenly gathered together, and bursts of boiling sound broke out: "Arthur Luo! Arthur! Arthur!"

The light board was raised, and the doll was also raised. The SLR pointed at the person who was about to come out from behind the glass door together and shot them desperately. Anyone who brought nothing crazily waved to the actor and shouted crazily.

The 185 cm man smiled while waving his hand, his left hand was on his youngest uncle's shoulder.

Leo Luo rolled his eyes behind the sunglasses, "I know there is something when you suddenly call me to come home soon."

"Come on, Uncle. It's been a long time since you refresh your profile picture. Let them take a good picture of us."

Unlike the small fresh meats set up by people in the entertainment circle, Arthur was the second generation from an entertainment family. His father was a famous director, her mother used to be a national goddess, and his youngest uncle – Leo Luo was a rising documentary director in the overseas market. Fans could almost associate the tag - rich young master, aristocratic demeanor, and domineering president as long as they see Arthur.

But today's craze was bound to be endless, apart from Arthur and Leo, the national girl group – Stardust was also in the same exit. The nine-member team wore a warm and casual outfit, alluring eyebrows, captivating eyes, and friendly aura – waving at the media and fans.

The long-awaited reporters from major entertainment newspapers and media platforms rushed forward with long guns and short cannons.

The poor heroine was Fee.

The woman lowered her head and came out, wearing a white baseball cap, her long brown hair was curled a little and draped over her shoulders. The long hair on the left was tucked behind her ears, revealing a small white auricle.

Sunglasses covered the entire face tightly, with a cold temperament, and it looks particularly difficult to approach. But the moment she walked out, she lifted her slender fingers and slowly took off the sunglasses that almost covered half of her face, followed by the mask, slowly revealing her picturesque visual.

A deserved national idol indeed.

A reporter broke out of his colleagues, half of his glasses were squeezed out, and he couldn't help when hanging on his face. He hurriedly handed over the microphone and asked: "Hello Fee, I am from The Showbiz of Tian Media, what can we expect from today's performance?"

"A good show."

"We heard you're going to be an MC on the red carpet, so how do you divide the time?"

"The staff of the gala helps us a lot. It's been our honor to be invited as the opening ceremony act."

The noise from the reporters shouting at each other made Cindy blush, "Everyone, we need to hurry up for dress rehearsal. You can ask another time."
