Duan Yu had gotten her makeup done earlier than Jinxia, having sent her a message half an hour before.
Cheng Xiaohua looked at her phone and told Jinxia that she would reply for her, asking them to send a location after their arrival as she would be coming later.
At a film festival, generally, a single celebrity doesn't walk the red carpet alone; it's usually done by the entire film crew together.
Of course, if you're a big enough star, other staff members will step back a few steps when the crew enters together, leaving the space in front for you.
This phenomenon is quite common, and in many large film crews, it is usually the male and female leads who receive this treatment, who also, for the most part, walk the red carpet together, rather than separately.
