Chapter 111: The Most Powerful Ghost (1)

The hashtag #YeSuiBerlinFilmFestival was getting more and more popular on Weibo. When netizens searched Ye Sui’s name, they saw the photo posted by Deng Zhi’s team.

In it, Deng Zhi was on the ground and Ye Sui was reaching out to help. This photo had spread all over the Internet in a flashed.

“Hahahaha! what is going on with Deng Zhi’s fake fall? Does she intend to buy people’s pity again with that look on her face? The problem is that there are so many people on the red carpet, and everyone saw that Ye Sui definitely didn’t trip her!”

“Ye Sui is too pretentious. She always gives me a sense of arrogance. Does she think she is awesome after being nominated at the Berlin Film Festival?”

“Pretentious? What kind of environment did you grow up in? I think you have never seen a good person. Ye Sui was kind enough to help Deng Zhi, yet she was still misinterpreted. Open your eyes and recognize that the hypocrite here is obviously Deng Zhi, got it?”

“I’m sorry if my idol was shortlisted for the three major film festivals. If you can’t accept it, let your idol be shortlisted.”

“Why doesn’t Deng Zhi look in the mirror? How can she be called “Little Ye Sui”? She has lost our face on the red carpet abroad. Such an embarrassment.”

Local netizens were arguing whether Deng Zhi’s fall was a pretense. However, the foreign media was only focused on Ye Sui, taking pictures of her on the red carpet.

In the foreign news photos, only Ye Sui reaching out her hand was present. Deng Zhi, who was on the ground, was conveniently ignored, without any exception.

Ye Sui looked stunning as she bowed her head. Her solo photo was liked and shared on social media, and netizens were inquiring about the Asian actress.

Contrary to expectations, Ye Sui’s picture of a black swan bending down became famous on the Internet.

Despite the raging discussions on the Internet, Ye Sui quietly waited for the Berlin results to come out. She paid close attention to the rating of <Ning Ling> by foreign audiences and media.

After the premiere, the rating of <Ning Ling> exploded at the Berlin Film Festival.

Film critics commented on the Internet, stating that it was possibly the best movie and performance at the festival.

More and more foreign audiences shed tears when they left the cinema. They did not know who “Ye Sui” was, but they all remembered her heartbreaking portrayal of Ning Ling.

Was there anyone in the world who could portray Ning Ling? If someone had asked this question a month ago, the answer would be a definite no.

But now, everyone’s answer was remarkably consistent: only Ye Sui.

A few days later, <Ning Ling> had already been voted number one by the foreign press for the “most-recommended movie at the Berlin Film Festival”.

With a domestic movie having such a high evaluation on the Internet and Ye Sui being praised by the harsh foreign media, she was likely to be this year’s Berlin Film Queen.

The piece of news was indeed exciting. Netizens who couldn’t see it yet marked the movie as the most anticipated.

They wanted to know whether Ye Sui’s high reputation was due to her good acting skills or her unforgettable beauty.

The farce on the red carpet at the opening ceremony was already ignored. Everyone had long forgotten who Deng Zhi was.

On the day of the awards ceremony, Ye Sui changed into another dress.

This time, instead of being low-key as she was at the opening ceremony, she wore a sky blue elegant dress with pearl earrings. It was ethereal and noble.

Sitting in the hall, the crew of <Ning Ling> all looked happy. The film’s unanimous praise on the public network proved that their efforts had not been in vain.

In fact, they didn’t really care about the result. Xi Zhao was just bidding farewell to the film industry for his lover Ning Ling.

When the best actress was announced, the camera lens focused on Ye Sui’s face. Her expression was calm, unlike a first-time nominee.

When the honored guest read Ye Sui’s name, the audience burst into loud applause. For the first time ever, Berlin’s Film Queen was unexpectedly a newcomer, Ye Sui.

Surprising, but convincing.

The news was immediately posted on the forums by netizens. [Good news! Ye Sui won the best actress award at the Berlin Film Festival!]

“Ah, ah, ah, ah, I’m going to go crazy! As an avid fan, to think there would be such a day. It’s an honor! Ye Sui should continue to work hard.”

“This is the Little Flower’s first international title, right? Chang Ying’s peasant award does not count. I remember that the three Big Flowers have no major awards. Ye Sui’s strength and luck are all unbelievably good.”

“No crying tonight, and don’t pull another female star into it. Just celebrate Ye Sui’s accomplishment. Don’t incite war at this moment.”

“When Ye Sui debuted, she was cursed by the netizens until the broadcast of <Crown Prince>. Later, the movie received good reviews and hefty profits at the box office. Now, she has even won the best actress award. Perhaps during the period when she received backlash, she must have been reborn.”

“It’s hard to imagine what she was going through when everyone was scolding her. It’s so distressing.”

Ye Sui was already labeled as the Film Queen at the Berlin Film Festival, proving her strength. Now, no one would use her acting skills as a reason to slander her.

For a whole day, five of the ten hot searches on Weibo were related to Ye Sui’s news forums.

Dior took advantage of her recent endorsement of lipstick ads, and the first hour’s pre-sale on the flagship store had exceeded 100000!

The Gaoshe champagne rose gift box endorsed by Ye Sui was once again sold out in stores in various cities!

Having major hits at the box office, a top award in the film industry, and the ability to generate sales, Ye Sui had become truly popular, standing out from the young generation of actors.

The Berlin Film Festival was over. However, Ye Sui did not rush to go back but chose to spend an extra day in Germany.

Ye Sui had never traveled abroad with Chen Shu, so she wanted to spend time with him, going on a date, but their appointment was interrupted.

Yesterday, when Ye Sui had run into the mysterious incident at the hotel, they changed rooms. As a result, nothing occurred after that.

In addition, Chen Shu had been by her side, so she didn’t see any ghosts. Thus, Ye Sui put away her thoughts regarding the haunted scene.

Ye Sui looked at the travel guide. She had never been to Germany and had no idea which places were fun. In the end, she could only look at the online guide and make a date plan.

Since Chen Shu had something to deal with, he was not in the room, and she stayed alone.

“Miss Ye.” A faint voice rang behind Ye Sui, making her back feel a chill.

Ye Sui subconsciously turned back but did not find any shadow. A little flustered, she immediately stood up and bolted toward the window.

The sun was shining bright. If she opened the curtain, that ghost would not dare to get close to it. This was the method Ye Sui and Chen Shu had discovered.

“Wait a minute, don’t draw the curtains.” The ghost’s voice became a little urgent._{Original translation is from chichipeph.com}

Ye Sui pinched the edge of the curtain. As long as the ghost did anything, she would immediately open it.

This time, Ye Sui finally saw the ghost. He was hiding behind the sofa and was looking at Ye Sui carefully.

He looked very timid. Any noise seemed to frighten him.

“Miss Ye, my name is Edward,” the ghost told his name softly.

Ye Sui recalled that this name had appeared on the mirror in the previous room. Did the ghost follow her?

This ghost seemed to be of mixed race. Maybe he had some Asian blood, so he could communicate with her in English and Chinese.

“Why do you play tricks? Deliberately scaring a person.”

As soon as the mixed-race ghost heard her words, he hurriedly explained himself, “I didn’t mean to frighten you. I just wanted you to do me a favor.

“I dared not tell you directly for fear of causing you trouble.”

The mixed-race ghost did not know how to approach her, which caused Ye Sui to panic.

Before he had the time to say the next sentence, the door suddenly opened. Chen Shu had handled the matter and returned to the room.

Upon his arrival, the ghost almost completely hid in the gap. Apparently, Ye Sui didn’t see him that night because he was hiding so well.

Chen Shu saw Ye Sui standing close to the curtains and holding it tightly. Her eyes were focused on a corner of the room.

He walked in the direction of Ye Sui’s gaze. “Where is it? Do you want me to handle it for you?”
