You are my super star

An Interview With A Start (1)

"Is it a little too raunchy?"

In the hotel room, Jules dressed himself neatly, buttoning himself up all the way to the top.

Jules' cheeks turned red. "I don't want to see the comments."

"No problem at all." Willet surfed the twitter page excitedly. "Your fans are going crazy about this photo! I told you! This picture will explode! Everyone is saving it in case you decide to delete it after you wake up."

Jules laughed. "I do want to delete it..."

However, it was not because he was concerned about his fans' reaction, but Leon's.

After being followed by Leon on Twitter, Jules posted less frequently. If he had to tweet something, he would proofread it again and again until perfect, let he embarrass himself in front of Leon.

Jules looked at the time, thinking that Leon was most likely busy too busy with the interview to notice the tweet.

Even if Leon would see it, he probably wouldn't care. This photo was only fanservice. Being work colleagues, Leon was aware of Jules' schedule. He would realize Jules posed for that photo the moment he saw it, then he would skip it without giving it another glance.

If Leon really did not pay any attention to his photo, Jules would be sad. The only reason that he had taken so long time to pose for the photo was because he was expecting Leon to see it.

Or maybe he should not have posted that embarrassing photo.

"It's not embarrassing at all!" Willet beamed with at the comments, feeling a great sense of accomplishment. "You don't understand, Jules. Male nudes are popular, but the public has already had enough of oversized muscles. Besides, you're still too young to take this kind of photos, so playing around with eroticism suits you best! Look! All those entertainment-marketing accounts are sharing your tweet. I love free promotion!'' He laughed again. ''Jules, don't forget to give me credit for this!"

Jules tried to take his mind off Leon, smiling at Willet. "Giving you credit is not enough. I'll give you a big bonus instead."

"Thank you, Jules!" Willet kept refreshing the twitter page, laughing. "The top ten comments are from people who are going nuts! Someone even suggested you to sack the assistant for waking you up!"

Jules was about to say something but his cellphone rang.

It was Tony.

Willet shut up as soon as he saw the caller's name flash on the phone screen. Jules gave a Willet a look of reassurance. "Take it easy. If Tony is angry about the tweet, I will just tell him it was my idea."

"Hello." Jules answered the phone.

It seemed that Tony was in a noisy dance studio. He laughed aloud on hearing Jules' voice. "Well done, Jules! Your photo is trending on twitter! Hahahahaah! Who took that photo of you? Did they take it for you on set?''

"No, No." Jules winked at Willet, smiling. "We don't have any publicity programs for now, so please keep my location a secret."

Tony was a grown man, so he promised immediately. "Sure, no problem. Sorry about not contacting you lately but I've been busy. I'll get in touch with the media tonight, using your photo to send out announcements for you."

Goal achieved.

Jules smiled. "Thanks, Tony."

"You're welcome. As soon as I get out of work, I will go to visit you and so we can discuss about your work arrangement next year. Talking about which..." Tony felt a bit guilty.

"Er... you know the Crystal Lovers, right? Your colleague, Jesse, got the lead role. Actually, I don't think he's the best man for the job. He's already in his thirties. How could we possibly pass off as someone ten years younger? People will mock him! I guess he snatched up the role just so you wouldn't get it, because he still holds a grudge against you."

Jules rolled his eyes. "I've heard. It doesn't matter. I have a busy schedule. If not Jesse, then someone else would have taken the role."

"It's good to know you're not mad at him. The company is in our debt. I will use this as a bargaining chip to make a deal with them, so that we can have more resources next year." Someone was calling Tony at the other end of the line, so Tony had to hang up; "Take care, Jules. I will visit you as soon as I can."

After saying goodbye to Tony, Jules got off the phone.

Willet looked at Jules in anticipation. Jules grinned. "Tony was happy about the picture, and thought it was part of the film production."

Willet seemed relieved and continued browsing the twitter page, replying to comments he deemed interesting.

Jules looked thoughtful for a moment. "On which platform will Leon's interview be released? When do they usually announce it?"

After thinking for a while, Willet seemed unsure. "Maybe those long-term partner platforms of Leon's studio? I heard that one of them focuses on live events. You know, more and more companies are starting to focus on live business..."

Jules searched for key words, and, as expected, there was a live telecast of the interview of Leon by Symfun Entertainment.

Jules took out his iPad and walked to the living room. He then connected to the WIFI and downloaded the Symfun Entertainment Live App.

A promotional advert of Leon occupied the large part of the homepage of the app. Clicking on the link, Jules entered the live page, waiting for the interview to start.
