Revenge Of The Cannon Fodder Villainess

Chapter 79 - Red Carpet Appearance (4)

Once Aaliyah got onto the red carpet, her media persona immediately came on.

"Aaliyah look this way!"

"Aaliyah turn and pose in this direction!"

"Miss Salazar, you look beautiful today. Who are you wearing?!"

"Aaliyah, a moment of your time!"

As the different reporters took nonstop photos of her, Aaliyah would shift and pose in a flattering manner. Seeing a reporter she frequently collaborated with, she stopped in front of him and answered his question.

"This is a gown from the Chanel archives. I was blessed enough that Black Rock Entertainment believes in me and my role enough to allow me the honor of wearing this dress." Aaliyah humbly bragged.

"Miss Aaliyah please tell us about your new role. It's your largest role yet as a female lead. Do you think you can succeed?"

Aaliyah skillfully deflected and answered the reporter's question until a large voice shouted from the back.

"Aaliyah Salazar, what do you think about the fact that you and Valentina Salazar have the same last name? Many are saying that's a battle to see who the better Salazar is especially with Valentina's resounding success in the Fallen Angel's music video. Are you feeling threatened by a new competitor who's the same age as you as well as in the same agency?"

As she heard the pointed question, Aaliyah made sure to keep the soft gentle smile on her face.

"In this industry, newcomers are always appearing and disappearing so it's a bit hard to keep up with them and all the rumors that are created. Valentina is my junior in the industry as well as in Black Rock Entertainment, and I am always happy to see juniors succeed. I'm glad she was able to successfully complete a role given to her by our agency and I'm not threatened since I focus on any role I am working on 110%. In regard to competition, I think friendly competition is always a great thing to have as it causes our skills to increase. Although I have never worked professionally with Valentina, I'm looking forward to working with her on this project." Aaliyah skillfully navigated the loaded question while taking the opportunity to have the agency take credit for Valentina's success while insinuating that Valentina was a talent that would come and go.

As the reporters heard her words, it was as if they were driven into a frenzy.

"Aaliyah, how do you evaluate Valentina's acting skills then? Do you think she's just lucky or do you think she's talented?"

"Aaliyah, how is your relationship with your male costar Jonathan Starling? I see that the two of you are matching not only outfit colors but eye colors as well. Is there something between you two?"

"Aaliyah, how do you think your outfit is going to hold up against Valentina's tonight? From everything we've seen from her and what we heard straight from the director's own mouth, she's an unrivaled beauty."

"Pardon?" Aaliyah's head couldn't help but whip around as she heard those blasphemous words.
