[British and American Entertainment] The Road to True Love

"Oh, Hi, sorry, I accidentally fell asleep just now." Karan said with some embarrassment after recovering.Aglaia smiled and said, "It's nothing. The weather is so good. It's really a good enjoyment to sleep under the sun. I want to try it if I have the chance."

Karan also laughed, and he said: "The weather in Los Angeles is so good recently. After the MV shooting is over, you can find a free time, eat some snacks and take a nap on the open-air seats of cafes or restaurants. It’s a different kind of enjoyment.”

Aglaia nodded and said with a smile, "Well, that's a good suggestion. Jonathan, we're not in a hurry to go back, are we? You see, McAuliffe suggested that I enjoy the sunshine in Los Angeles. Will you give me this chance? "

Jonathan raised the corners of his mouth, patted her head, and said, "Well, let's see how you behave." Karan suddenly interjected, "Just call me Karan." Aglaia was stunned, then smiled again Get up and say, "Well, Karan, you can call me Aglaia too."

When they met for the first time, they both had good feelings for each other. Aglaia felt that Karan was a good boy, and it seemed that he could make friends with him. And Karan secretly regarded Aglaya as the man he wanted to pursue. She is the kind of girl he wants: beautiful, gentle, understanding and talented.

Seeing that the two had a good chat, Jonathan simply ordered them to go to the coffee shop to order some desserts, and he himself discussed matters related to the MV shooting with Karan's manager.

A few days later, the shooting of the MV officially started.This time the company intentionally made the plot of the MV look like a miniature version of a youth romance drama to make it more interesting.

The filming went smoothly, and Karan's acting skills are good. Even though Aglaia is not very familiar with acting, he can be brought into the play by him.Aglea is the kind of person who, once he decides to do something, takes it seriously.

So after the filming started, I never slacked off, and even the efficiency of Karan and the on-site staff improved, and the director repeatedly praised Aglaia for being professional.

But the status quo of all this was broken a few days later. When I came to the shooting site that day, after changing clothes and putting on makeup, a staff member handed over the script revised by the director last night. After Aglaia took it with both hands, I thanked the staff, then opened the script and read it.

Seeing this, the girl couldn't help frowning her eyebrows.In the revised script, a scene in which the hero and heroine run in the rain holding hands, and then run into a phone booth by the roadside and kiss inside.

According to the director, this shot will be the climax of this MV, and it is absolutely indispensable. He also said that because of the close-up, when filming this scene, he had to be really close and not borrow a seat.

Aglaia was quite unhappy. She took up the career of a singer only out of her love for music and the compulsion of life, but she didn't like to do such things. You can call her hypocritical or old-fashioned, She just didn't want to go against her will and kiss someone who wasn't her lover.

Because of the resistance in her heart, when filming this scene, Aglaia, who had performed very well a while ago, kept NGing again and again. Whenever Karan was about to kiss, the girl would always turn her face away uncontrollably.

Again and again, time and time again, the director finally got angry. He threw away the script that was rolled up in his hands, and exploded: "Miss Donatella, what the hell are you doing?! This is a kiss scene, You can pass the more difficult part in front of you very quickly, why did you give me a problem here! You want to let the whole staff on the shooting site be disturbed by you alone?! Can you be more professional, isn’t it just a dear? Take a bite!"

Jonathan hurriedly stepped forward to appease the director and said, "I'm sorry, director, Aglaia didn't do it on purpose, she must be too nervous, she has never been in a relationship before, this is her first kiss, give her some time. How about this, it just so happens that it's time for afternoon tea, I'll invite everyone present to have an afternoon tea, and I'll take advantage of this time to enlighten her, director, what do you think?"

The director's face looked better now, and he nodded slightly.Jonathan immediately called Aglaia's assistant, Alice, and asked her to buy enough black tea and refreshments, then got up by himself, and brought Aglaia, who was drenched from artificial rainfall, to the side, and put on her clothes. Lay on a large, dry towel.

Seeing the girl tightly wrapped in the towel, he said, "Leia, what's the matter with you? It's just one scene. After filming this, the rest of the content will be resolved soon. Don't you still want to bask in the sun in Los Angeles?" , Sleeping under the sun? Finish it sooner, so you can rest sooner! It’s nothing, just grit your teeth and pass.”

Aglaia pursed her lips tightly, listening to Jonathan's persuasion, and after Jonathan finished speaking, she said: "I don't want this, Jonathan, why would I want to kiss someone I don't love, I don't want to do this. "

Hearing Aglaia's explanation, Jonathan didn't know whether he should be angry or laugh. Sure enough, Aglaia was still too young. She didn't see through this circle at all, so she stepped in. Her heart still remained With a bit of old-fashioned lady's reserved and conservative.

But she is already in this circle. If she doesn't see through this point, then she won't go far. Jonathan doesn't mind being a bad guy temporarily. He must let Aglaia know that no matter what he does, there is a price to pay Yes, but some are too expensive to parry and some are worth a try.

So he said: "Leia, do you know how much manpower and financial resources the company needs to spend for each MV?"

The girl looked at him inexplicably, and Jonathan continued, "If you really insist on refusing to shoot this scene today, then you might completely anger the director. The company spent a lot of effort to hire this director." , He has filmed MVs for countless big stars, if you get angry with him, it will be difficult for you to find such a director in the future, and you will spread negative news about playing big names."

Aglaia's face became more and more serious, but Jonathan's words were not finished yet: "Not only that, Leia, look back, how many staff members are here, working for your MV, and there are so many equipments, Artificial rainfall vehicles, so many cameras, and lights, if you don’t shoot today, what are the costs? Leia, I understand your heart, but now you don’t have the right to say no to the kiss scene. In this circle, until you have enough power, you have only two choices: endure, or get out." [Note 1]

These words were cruel enough to make Aglaia's face turn pale. She never thought about her job. It turned out that she was involved with so many people. She never realized that she could no longer be the same as before.

After enjoying the fame and fortune brought by this job, she now understands that she has many responsibilities and obligations, which she cannot escape.After a long silence, the girl said: "Okay, I will take pictures." Jonathan secretly heaved a sigh of relief, he knew that with Leia's considerate temperament, he would not let everyone follow along.

He took Aglaia back to the shooting scene. The director and the staff had already used up their refreshments, and the original anger had subsided a lot. When the director saw her back, he said sullenly, "Is there any problem now?"

Aglaia nodded and said, "No problem, I will definitely work hard this time." The director smiled and turned around to signal everyone to get ready.

Artificial rainfall was turned on again, Aglaia handed the towel to Jonathan, walked into the rain, and stood with Karan, the director shouted to turn it on, Karan took Aglaia's hand and ran in the rain Get up, the camera closes up the splashing water droplets under the two people's feet, and the girl's dancing blond hair.

They rushed into an empty telephone booth by the side of the road and stood opposite each other. They were both breathing quickly because of the running just now. The boy reached out to wipe the water droplets on the girl's face. The girl looked at him without resisting or speaking.

The temperature in the phone booth seemed to be rising gradually. The boy held the girl's face in his arms, leaned over and kissed her. The moment their lips touched, a tear fell from the corner of the girl's eyes, which seemed to carry countless emotions.

"Card! Perfect! That's right! Alright, everyone get ready, we'll shoot the next scene in four or 10 minutes." Aglea pushed Karan away, walked out of the phone booth, and walked into the caravan used for makeup and dressing.

Sitting in front of the make-up mirror, she raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, then wiped her own lips, and looked at the embarrassed self in the mirror with some distracted attention.She thought that this circle might eventually cause her to lose and change more and more things, but there was one thing she would never change or lose, and that was her sincerity.

Makeup artists and stylists came in quickly, and they let Aglaia simply wash her hair, and then re-makeup and styled her. When the director called the actors to be in place, Aglaia looked clean and fresh again .

The next shoot was not much, and they didn't spend too much time to complete it. When the director called it over, it was just dinner time, and many staff members whistled, happily packed their things and prepared to go home.

After Aglaia took off her makeup and changed into casual clothes, she saw Karan standing not far away. Seeing her coming out, Karan walked over and said with some hesitation: "Uh, um, I was sorry just now, Aglaia ,I……"

The girl shook her head and interrupted him, saying: "It's none of your business, it's my own problem. I'm not targeting you, I just don't like this kind of emotionless skin-to-skin contact, do you know what I mean? I know I'm still too naive, Jonathan is right, I shouldn't let everyone follow me around because of my problems, you always have to overcome it? It's hard to guarantee that I won't encounter the same situation in the future. "

Although the girl spoke calmly, Karan knew from her eyes that she was not as indifferent as he claimed. He somehow felt that maybe Aglaia had someone in her heart, which was why she was so resistant to being with other opposite sexes. He could not help but ask, "Aglaia, do you have someone you like?"

She glanced at him in surprise, thought for a while, and said without concealment: "Yes, I do have someone I like." He asked again: "Then how is he treating you?" The girl's expression was gentle Coming down, she said softly, "well, he is very good to me."

Karan felt a little disappointed. He probably didn't have a chance to say what he wanted for Aglaia. Forget it, at least he could still be friends.He calmed down his frustration and said, "Aglaia, will you still be in Los Angeles tomorrow? Why don't I take you here for fun? Although I'm not a local, I've been here for a while. I know there is a very interesting shop, do you want to go?"

Aglaia smiled and said, "Okay, anyway, I still have to stay in Los Angeles for two days, so I'll trouble you tomorrow and take me to visit Los Angeles together."

Karan also laughed, with a clear smile on his face and a handsome sunny face. He replied straightforwardly: "No trouble, why bother, I am very happy to show you around Los Angeles."

On the second day, Karan took Aglaia to wander around Los Angeles. In order to prevent the media from scribbling, they also brought their assistants with them.When they were playing, they chatted slowly, and Aglaia knew that Karan was about 3 years younger than herself, and that she was an Aquarius like Tom.

In addition to acting, Karan is also a versatile boy. He has a good sense of music. He used to be the leader of the school choir like Aglaia. He can basically play the music he has heard. He can play the piano and play. Guitar, banjo [Note 2], and drums.

In terms of music, Karan is the person who is most compatible with Aglaia besides Tom.Not only that, Karan also proudly told Aglaia that he knew Chinese Kung Fu, and he proudly said: "Those who want to make trouble don't want to mess with me in the alley, because I can walk up the wall in a few steps, and then Do a backflip—that's what I do best." [Note 3]

Aglaia was amused by him, and said with a smile: "Yeah, you are very good." It was almost dinner time, Aglaia's phone rang suddenly, she answered it, and found that it was Tom calling herself here.

It turned out that on this day, during the filming break of "The Avengers", Chris Hemsworth wore the mighty God's Domain suit and a red cape, walked up to Tom who was drinking water, and suddenly said: "Hey, your little ally is in Los Angeles now, she should come to visit."

Tom was taken aback, and asked, "You said Leia is in Los Angeles?" Chris wondered, "Yeah, don't you know? It's been retweeted like crazy on Twitter. It's said that she came here to shoot the MV."

So Tom took out his cell phone and called Aglaia.Knowing that Aglaia was indeed in Los Angeles, Tom was a little happy and said, "Lea, it just so happens that we have this opportunity, why don't we have dinner together at noon? I want to introduce my friends to you, and they also want to know you Well, I’ve talked about you many times in front of them, Chris, even your older fan who talked to you last time, also wants to meet you.” Chris pushed him aside: You are only an older fan !

Aglaia hesitated and said, "But, I'm with a friend of mine, isn't it?" Tom said indifferently: "Then just ask your friend to come with you, since there are more people, the more lively it will be." !"

Aglaia asked Karan's opinion again, and when he saw that he was not reluctant, he agreed, so Karan's assistant drove them to the restaurant Tom mentioned.

The restaurant was not far from the filming location of "The Avengers". As soon as Aglaia walked in, she saw a group of people in strange costumes occupying most of the long table. 【Note 4】

Aglaia was overjoyed when he saw Aglaia, and Tom also turned around at this time, and seeing Aglaia coming, he laughed, stood up and waved his hands, Aglaia also walked quickly towards Karan Follow him.

As soon as they met, Tom gave Aglaia a hug as usual, and then invited Aglaia and Karan to sit down.After they were all seated, Tom sat down and introduced everyone present for Aglaia.
