[British and American Entertainment] The Road to True Love

On this side, Aglaia was crying in Cronus' arms, and on the other side, Tom and Susannah also had some small disputes.After watching Aglaia leave, Tom drove Susanna and took her home.

On the way, Tom couldn't help asking: "Susanna, why did you suddenly mention that you want to introduce a boyfriend to Leia?" Susannah glanced at him and said, "Don't you think that girls of this age should enjoy a relationship?" Is it time? What's wrong with me introducing her boyfriend?"

Tom frowned slightly, and said: "You are very grateful for thinking about her, but Susanna, how can outsiders intervene in this kind of matter? Leia is not the kind of child who doesn't know what to do, she already has enough cognitive ability and Judgment, she can decide when to fall in love, what do you think?"

Although Tom's words were kind enough, Suzanne, who was holding back her anger this night, couldn't help but exploded. She replied sarcastically, "Oh? I'm an outsider? Does that mean that you two are insiders? "

She originally wanted to say: why don't you just stay together.But the words came to her lips, and Susannah held back them. She was not that kind. If she said these words, she might wake up Tom instead. Wouldn't it be worth the loss for herself.

Suzanne's thorny words made Tom feel a little uncomfortable, but he didn't want to quarrel with Suzanne, so he said kindly: "Susanna, you know, I didn't mean that, I just thought, I just introduced you and Don't you know Leia? It's the first time you meet, and you don't know each other well enough. Such a topic will make people feel that the conversation is shallow."

Susannah said: "What do I know? I don't know!" At this point, there was nothing to communicate. Tom opened his mouth, but finally decided to keep silent.

He didn't understand why Susanna was so angry tonight. When she spoke, it was like a firecracker that was ignited, and every sentence seemed to be able to hurt people.

Although Suzanne is not 100% understanding in my memory, she is definitely not this kind of unreasonable girl. What is going on with her today?

Tom was helpless and puzzled by Susannah's anger, and the two remained silent all the way until Susannah went downstairs. Tom said goodbye, and Susannah just hummed, got out of the car and left without even turning her head.

Tom watched Suzanne's back disappear from sight, then leaned on the driver's seat, sighed silently, took out his mobile phone, and called Aglaia.

The phone rang for a while before being picked up by Aglaia. The girl's voice was a little strange, as if she was crying.Tom's heart seemed to be tightened all of a sudden, and he said anxiously: "Leia? What's the matter? Are you feeling unwell? Are you crying?"

Aglaia wiped away the remaining tears on her face, and said, "It's okay, Tom, I just watched a very sad romance movie, so I couldn't help crying."

Tom breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Oh, that's it, silly girl, why are you crying? Movies are movies after all. Don't cry, wipe your tears, girls' tears are very precious."

The tenderness and love in his words made Aglaia's heart sour and sweet. She said, "Okay, I won't cry, Tom. By the way, Tom, you called, is there something wrong?" ?”

Only then did Tom remember the purpose of his call. He hesitated and said, "Oh, uh, Leia, I just wanted to ask, did Suzanne introduce her boyfriend to you, did it make you unhappy? She didn't mean anything malicious, she Maybe I just want to care about you, but the way I use it may be too straightforward."

"It's okay, Tom." Aglaia said, "I won't misunderstand her, I just think that I don't want to fall in love very much now, and I may have to live up to her kindness."

Because of the girl's words, Tom's mood improved inexplicably. He said, "Oh, don't worry about it, Leia. Of course you have the right to decide your own life and when to fall in love. No matter what, I just want you to be happy." gone."

On the other end of the phone, Aglaia's eyes were slightly red. The man she admired might not even know that her happiness depends on him. If the person beside him is not him, everything will be different What's the point?

But she couldn't talk, so she just replied, "Okay, Tom, I'll try to have a good time." Tom smiled and said, "It's late, Leia, go to bed early. I'm going back to the set tomorrow." Alright, let's have dinner together when I come back from filming. Good night."

Aglaia also said good night and hung up the phone.Cronus, sitting beside her, said aloud, "You are crying because of him, aren't you?"

Aglaia didn't speak, and Kronos continued: "I think it's him too. I've never seen you cry like this for anything other than your family. Leia, what's the matter? Did he bully you?"

Aglaia shook her head and said, "No, he didn't bully me. He just got a girlfriend. I should have known, Tom is an adult, and he could have a mature relationship with another woman at any moment." Relationship, I understand, I just never think about it that way. But now the reality doesn't seem to allow me to deceive myself anymore."

Kronos said angrily: "Leia, you can forget him, you can start a new life! I know that many students in school are pursuing you, why don't you try to forget him, start What about a new relationship? It won't be that difficult, it's just a habit! You're just used to looking at him and guarding him, but habits can be changed!"

Aglaia said, "North, some habits can't be changed casually. It's like, you're used to breathing, you're used to the air, but if you leave the air and stop breathing, can you still live?"

Kronos said: "How can it be so exaggerated? He is not your air! You don't need to tie your whole life to him!"

Aglaia shook her head and said, "It's no different, North. Sometimes I think that God is not so fair. Some people try their best to get what they want, but they just can't get it. Some people get it all without even putting in a lot of effort. North, I'm not the type to have it all, at least when it comes to love, and I'm sort of a loser, but I have the right to be paranoid anyway, even if everyone tells Me, I can't get this love, I still have to insist on my right to love him."

Aglaia has always been such a woman, a woman who has made up her mind and rarely wavers.If paranoia is a disease, Aglaia thought, she must be terminally ill, because even she herself does not want to set herself free.

Many people don't understand and value such secret feelings, because in modern society, we are more and more used to protecting ourselves, and we are more and more stingy in giving our sincerity.Even if you have a good impression of a person, you have to test it repeatedly, for fear that his love for you is not as deep as your affection for him, for fear that you will be hurt.

It's not our fault, it's the tragedy of society as a whole.

But Aglaia doesn't want this. Feelings are not something that can be exchanged at an equal value. Love may not be exchanged for an equal amount of love, but at least in the process, you have gained the bitterness and sweetness of love. It is a precious gift of life.

She doesn't want to count the hearts that have been paid, she loves Tom, and this feeling makes her so rich and brave.For the first time, she knew that she could love someone silently like this, laughing because of his laughter, and mourning because of his sorrow.

The eyes of the girl who had just cried were shining brightly, so the accusatory words that Kronos wanted to blurt out disappeared under the gaze of those blue eyes.

After a few days of being down, Aglaia bounced back.Considering her academic problems, she doesn't have many schedules on weekdays, most of them are interviews or radio schedules.

The exposure rate in this regard is not high enough, so it is natural to think of a separate method, so the company opened Twitter for her, allowing Aglaia to interact with fans more on Twitter on weekdays.

Under the supervision of Jonathan, Aglaia now sends a tweet every day, sometimes sharing some books that she thinks are very good, sometimes sharing some very philosophical words, or just one or two interesting photos .

Fans seem to love the interaction, so even though Aglaia doesn't make a lot of media appearances, her following numbers are steadily growing.

Now at school, when it’s time to finish class, the classroom of Aglaya’s class will be surrounded by people, and some bold ones will rush into the classroom to talk to Aglaya, but Agleya didn’t say anything, The classmates in the same class are not happy at first, they will always take the lead in driving away those people from other classes, as if they have already regarded girls as "class property".

While Aglaia went on with his own life, Tom's film work was also proceeding in an orderly manner. While filming "Thor", he also received a letter from Woody Allen, inviting himself to be in his new film "Thor". A cameo role in Midnight in Paris, which will start shooting in Paris this summer, and Tom happily agreed after reading the script. 【Note 1】

The filming went smoothly, although he sometimes left some bruises on his body because of some fighting scenes, but for the movie, Tom didn't care.

At this time, he had reached an agreement with the actors and staff on the set. Even Chris said that this guy was the pistachio on the set, and he enjoyed all kinds of fun all day long.

In the middle of filming, Tom's father's birthday was approaching, which was the old man's 70th birthday, so Tom took a leave of absence and returned to London to take his father on vacation. 【Note 2】

Tom's love of film and theater may have been inherited from his mother, Diana, who was an artistic director and casting director for a theater company and trained as a stage manager before giving up her job to become a full-time housewife. 【Note 3】

Influenced by his mother, Tom has shown his interest in movies and dramas since he was a child. Most of his idols are outstanding actors or directors.

But if he has to find someone who is not an actor and director among his idols, then it is probably Tom's father——James.

When Tom was born, the family was considered a small property, but his father, James, was not as lucky as Tom.

Tom's grandfather was a member of the Royal Artillery, and later the veteran worked as a porter in the port of Greenock and became a full-fledged working class. 【Note 4】

Tom's father worked part-time as a butcher when he was in high school. After that, he finally enrolled in the university. Almost from a poor boy with nothing, he worked his way out of his own business. When Tom was ten years old, James was already a doctor. CEO of the company. 【Note 5】

Therefore, Tom is very proud of his father, who is one of his idols.

When Tom was 13 years old, James came back from visiting Eaton, and he said to Tom: "There are 15 football fields there, can you imagine 15! There is a theater there, and there is a building there for you to draw. You Gotta go there, you gotta!"

Even though Tom was moping about his parents' divorce, he listened to his father and went to Eton because when your father gave you the best education he could, you didn't way to reject him. 【Note 6】

When Tom first chose the career of actor, James was actually very incomprehensible and unsupportive. He asked Tom, "Why did you choose to live someone else's life when you could have your own life?"

Tom answered him: "When you play someone else, you can find yourself in it." But James still couldn't understand Tom's choice, and the differences between father and son were born.

Until 2002, Tom played the role of Randolph Churchill, the son of British Prime Minister Churchill, in the movie "Iron Storm". Although he didn't have many roles, the play won three Emmy Awards and two Golden Globe Awards that year. Since then, James finally saw his achievements in acting, and turned to support his son's acting career.

The happy vacation was fleeting and he sent his father home. When Tom was about to pack up and rush back to Los Angeles, his agent in the UK contacted him and asked him to record an audition tape as soon as possible. He also revealed that although this What movie is still under wraps, but the agent said he knew it was War Horse because he recognized the character's name.

So Tom finished recording the audition tape in his agent's office with his black hair on his head, and then put it behind him, stopped thinking about it, and returned to Los Angeles to continue filming "Thor".

When the film was about to enter the countdown to wrapping, Tom received a call from his American agent, who told Tom that Steven Spielberg wanted to see him in a week.

Tom was really taken aback. He asked why, and the agent told him that Stephen was the director of "War Horse" and he liked Tom's audition tape very much.A week later, Tom went to see Stephen, the film master, with a mentality of meeting an idol.

They had a pleasant conversation. At the end of the conversation, Stephen suddenly said: "Can you ride a horse?" Tom gave an affirmative answer, so Stephen decided to let Tom play Captain Nichols.

Not only Tom, but Tom's agent was also shocked. It's like you bought a lottery ticket for soap and laundry detergent, but unexpectedly won the jackpot.

While Tom's acting career was booming, Aglaia and Kronos, who had finally completed their A-Levels and passed all subjects, were waiting for more than a month for their official results to be released.
