On both sides of the hundred-meter-long red carpet outside the TV festival, media personnel had already packed in, and a quick glance revealed nothing but a sea of heads and an array of cameras.
Unlike the regular brand shows and platform galas, this official event had strict rules. Media weren't allowed to occupy areas outside the designated red carpet entrance, and those allowed to take photos on the red carpet had passed through multiple layers of selection. Hundreds of people crammed into that small space, leaving only the middle path for artists, barely adhering to the rules.
Many actors were attending the TV festival, along with some performance guests, making it seem like half the entertainment industry was present.
In previous years, this red carpet had seen its fair share of news, from gatecrashers to fainting incidents, wardrobe malfunctions, and bizarre outfits designed to grab attention.
