Ji Xizhi's comment, "Later," left everyone puzzled for a moment.
But the time for interviews on the red carpet is limited, with not much allocated to each celebrity. As the host, it's necessary to strictly control the flow and timing.
The host didn't bother about whether Ji Xizhi would step down and went straight to the next question.
After asking Ji Xizhi why she wasn't participating in Director Wang's new movie, the red carpet segment for Director Wang concluded.
Once the red carpet event finished, it was time to move indoors for a rest.
All the celebrities who had walked the red carpet were resting inside, including Ji Xizhi, who was supposed to join Director Wang.
But just as she reached the entrance, Ji Xizhi heard the host outside announcing through the microphone.
"Next up, number 28..."
Ji Xizhi calculated the time; number 30 wasn't far off.
She paused and said, "Director Wang, I have something to do, I'll go in later!"
Director Wang didn't mind.
