"Yes, Iris Long is my daughter. Doesn't she look like me?" Wei Lan said, confirming her mother and daughter relationship with Iris.

The people around them heard her. Now everyone became more curious about Iris Long. They looked at her a little differently than before. She might be a newcomer in the Sommet International Film Festival, but her impressive connections with important people already made her memorable compared to the other newbies.

In addition to this, she also became a nominee for one of the prestigious awards on her first try at such a young age. Just by looking at her, she should be around her early twenties. In fact, the other foreigners even thought that she might still be a teenager because of her youthful look.

"Honeeeeey, dear Liweeeeei, come here," Wei Lan repeated.

"Yes, Mother," Iris replied. She excused herself from the reporters and pulled Jin Liwei's hand.

When the couple reached Wei Lan, she introduced the two of them to her "new friends". She called Iris her "beloved one and only daughter" and Liwei as her "dearest future son-in-law". Grandpa Lu and Lu Zihao joined them as well.

More VIP guests arrived on the red carpet. Upon seeing the group huddling together and recognizing some friends and acquaintances, they also joined the group. As a result, the group became bigger. It consisted of some of the most important and well-known figures in the world.

The others looking at them couldn't help but feel starstruck. Some of them even felt envious, wishing that they could also become part of the group. Unfortunately, they didn't think that they would fit in. They wondered how unknown personalities like Iris Long and Hunter Lu could fit in the group. It was only when they learned that Iris Long was the fiancée of Chinese billionaire Liam Jin and the daughter of a Spanish viscountess while Hunter Lu was Sir Jianhong Lu's grandson that they understood why.

'Ah, so it's nepotism,'they muttered to themselves in envy.

They thought that Iris Long and Hunter Lu were just using their familial relations in order to connect with so many important people. Envy clouded their judgment. They didn't think that Iris Long or Hunter Lu might have achievements of their own. For now, they had negative impressions of the two. They thought that both of them didn't deserve to be included in the group of impressive people.

As for the reporters, they didn't care about this kind of thoughts at the moment. Instead, they were having a field day photographing and recording the group's interactions on video.

Of course, the Chinese reporter livestreaming the opening night made sure to focus on the Chinese attendees, especially on Iris Long and Jin Liwei. This was his second livestream of the night. He had to cut off his first livestream after the first red carpet ended earlier. The media weren't allowed to photograph or record anything on video during the opening ceremony. Fortunately, they were still allowed to watch inside and take notes.

When he ended his first livestream earlier, there were more than 200,000 viewers. It was already an impressive number and vastly exceeded his initial expectations. His boss back in China even called to congratulate him and to encourage him to work harder.

Once he started the second livestream, he was shocked out of his wits. Within a few seconds, the view count reached more than 1 million, and it was still increasing every few seconds. It should already be around 3 AM back in China. What were all of these people doing? They weren't going to sleep?

After the initial shock, the reporter became super excited. His boss called him again and promised to give him a promotion after he returned to the country. This made him more determined to closely follow Iris Long, Jin Liwei and the other Chinese attendees throughout the entire duration of the Sommet International Film Festival.
