[British and American Entertainment] The Road to True Love

The firmness and protection in Aglaia's words made Tom feel depressed for a while. He didn't know what else to say, so he fell silent. Aglaia just thought he was tired. She said to Tom: "Wait a minute, I've already sent a message to ask my assistant to bring you some food, can you rest after eating?"

Tom nodded. It didn't take long for Alice to bring food. She bought some porridge from a Chinese restaurant near the hospital, which was just right for Tom who was sick.

After watching Tom eat and take the medicine, Aglaia watched Tom sleep soundly, left a note and left the hospital.Fortunately, their luggage is in the car, so they can go directly to the United States without having to go back to get it.

Tom, who fell asleep under the influence of drugs, actually did not sleep soundly. He had some inexplicable dreams all night. For a while, he dreamed that he and Aglaia were chatting on the streets of London together, but in a blink of an eye, the girl next to him was gone. Disappeared.

After a while, he dreamed that they were riding on the grasslands of Dartmoor. The girl smiled at him on horseback, and then rode away. At the end of the dream, Tom found himself wearing a formal black dress, standing in a church There are also many people around, and everyone is talking and laughing.

The music sounded, and Aglaia, who was as beautiful as an angel, appeared in front of everyone in a white wedding dress and light veil. She walked towards Tom step by step.

Just as Tom stretched out his hand in a daze to hold the girl's hand, she passed her by and walked towards another man.The man who couldn't see his face clearly stood still in front of the altar holding Aglaia's hand.

The pastor asked: "Today, the newlyweds will be married under the witness of God. Is there anyone among you who opposes their union?"

"I object!" exclaimed Tom, and then he found that he was no longer in the church, he was still lying in his hospital bed.Looking around, he found that Aglaia had left.

Before the girl came to visit him, Tom didn't think it was unacceptable to be hospitalized, but after being accompanied by the girl, Tom, who was alone facing the empty ward, couldn't help but feel lonely.

He is a child who is afraid of loneliness. He likes to be lively since he was a child. After his parents divorced, he doesn't like loneliness even more. It will make him afraid, and this ward gives him this feeling now.

He sat up and found the note left by Aglaia on the bedside table. The girl carefully told him to pay attention to his health, eat on time, and take his medicine obediently.He put away the note, got out of bed, picked up his coat and put it on, and went to go through the discharge procedures. He didn't want to stay here any longer.

From that day on, Tom felt that something seemed wrong with him.I don’t know if it’s because of that weird dream, but he often thinks of Aglaia. Of course, he’s still very serious about his work, but whenever he’s free, he can’t help but think of Aglaia, and Pay attention to the latest trends of girls from time to time.

Tom is no longer a young boy in love. Of course, he is aware of what this mood means, but he just can't accept it. He doesn't understand why he suddenly moved to Aglaia, who is so much younger than himself. heart.

He couldn't figure it out after thinking left and right, and he felt a little irritable, so he asked his friend Benedict Cumberbatch to have dinner together, preparing to have a conversation with men.

After filming War Horse, Tom and Benedict became good friends who talked about everything. In interviews, Tom never said that Benedict was one of his best friends.

At this time, Benedict is already a world-renowned star. His "Sherlock" became the hottest TV series last year, and he himself gained both fame and fortune because of this TV series. The Daily Telegraph even listed him as the first of the "20 Greatest Sherlock Holmes in History" [Note 1].

But Benedict, who is proud of his career, does not seem to be so smooth in love. This year, Benedict separated from his girlfriend Olivia Prott [Note 2] who has been with him for ten years.

In fact, they separated once in 2005, but then they got back together [Note 3], and now, they seem to be unable to go on anymore, which is another reason why Tom asked him out for dinner .

Tom's house was a little closer to the restaurant he had made an appointment with, so he arrived earlier. He dug out the script of "The Hollow Crown" he was carrying with him, took out a pen, and prepared to read his new inspiration and ideas Added it, but when the script was opened, he couldn't read it.He has been like this recently, except when acting, he seems to be a little inattentive in everything he does.

While his mind was wandering, the pen he was holding moved unconsciously on a napkin in his hand, without him noticing it.It didn't take long for Benedict to arrive, dressed in gray casual clothes with stubble on his chin.

Seeing him coming, Tom put down the pen he was holding, closed the script, and greeted him.It's not time for dinner yet, so they ordered a bottle of whiskey first, and asked the waiter to open it and pour it. 【Note 4】

Benedict looked a little more haggard than he did on "War Horse," and Tom asked, "Hey, Benedict, how are you?" Benedict smiled and said, "Oh, come on, don't mince words Now, you can directly ask me if I have not recovered after the breakup."

Seeing his attitude, Tom knew that his problem was not serious, so Tom also smiled and said: "We are also in the same boat, no, I also broke up with Susanna last month."

Benedict raised his eyebrows, raised his glass and clinked glasses with Tom, who was in trouble.Tom said again: "But I actually expected this day. She and I are both career-oriented people, and we don't have much time to manage this relationship. Moreover, when I am with Suzanne, I always feel as if Something is missing, but I can’t tell. Hey, anyway, we have reached a consensus. She and I are actually not suitable, and separation is the best choice.”

Benedict also opened up the conversation. He said: "Olivia and I also separated because we felt that we could not continue. I met her in 1997 and established a relationship in 2001. Ups and downs, It’s been ten years in the blink of an eye.”

He took a sip of whiskey, let out a breath, and continued: "Actually, I've been depressed for five years [Note 5], and after we got back together, I wasn't happy either. Tom, you don't know, sometimes After a relationship lasts for a long time, it becomes a part of your life, and it becomes more and more difficult for you to let go of this relationship."

Then he raised his glass, touched Tom, took another sip of wine, and said: "Because I was reluctant to part with the long-term relationship, that's why we got back together again, but after we got back together, we found that no matter how much we tried to cherish, It doesn't help either. She doesn't want to speed up her pace to keep up with me, and it's hard for me to stop and wait for her. The distance between us will only get farther and farther."

Tracy Peacock, Benedict's half-sister, told the media that Benedict is so much like Sherlock. It is not an easy task to get on his mind. 【Note 6】This may be one of the reasons why this relationship came to an end.

Tom couldn't help but nodded. He understood Benedict's mood, so he also raised his glass. After bumping into Benedict, he drank the whiskey in one gulp, and then added some whiskey for himself and Benedict. .

After listening to Benedict's troubles, Tom also has his own troubles to confide in.He frowned a little annoyedly, and said, "Benedict, I think there's something wrong with me. I just broke up with Suzanne, but I don't feel sad, and recently, I find that I seem to be interested in the most unlikely person. Moved."

Benedict asked: "The most unlikely person? Who?" Tom sighed, "Leia, that's the girl who came to visit "War Horse" last time. Do you also find it incredible?"

Benedict smiled and said, "I'm not that surprised. In fact, when she came to visit the class last time, I vaguely felt it. Tom, have you noticed that you seem to be especially gentle and smiling when you face him? And more than with Suzanne."

Tom was a little stunned, and said, "Do I have this? Why have I never felt it?" Benedict took a sip of whiskey and said with a smile: "This shows that you have long regarded her as a very important person in your heart, even more important than her." Suzanne is more important, I just haven't seen it clearly."

Benedict seems to have a natural sharpness. Sometimes he can see many things that others can't see clearly. Besides, when Tom and Aglaia get along, it's not so easy to see through. Tom is just a fan of the authorities. That's all.

Tom defended: "I have always regarded her as my younger sister. I am 11 years older than her! Besides, she also has someone she likes. When she mentioned it, she felt that she had a deep affection for that person."

He was still gesticulating with his hands when he spoke. Benedict moved his eyes and noticed the napkin in Tom's hand. Just now, the paper was pressed by Tom's hand, so Benedict didn't notice it. At this moment, He clearly saw what was on that piece of paper.

He raised his eyebrows and smiled, reached out to pick up the napkin, unfolded it in front of Tom, and said, "You think of her as your sister? Forget it, Tom, I don't think so, your heart has already answered for you."

Tom looked at the napkin in bewilderment, and found out in horror that there were many names of Aglaia written on the upward side of the small napkin. The familiar fonts made Tom startled and confused Some embarrassment.

Benedict put the napkin away and said: "I remember you once said to yourself that sometimes, when you encounter a choice that you are not sure or a little afraid of, you will ask yourself: What if you don't do it? , would you regret it. So now, Tom, you can ask yourself, would you regret missing this girl?"

Tom suddenly recalled the dream he had had. In the dream, when Aglaia was about to become someone else's bride, didn't he also yell "I object", and he couldn't help thinking that if he What would he do when he really missed Aglaia so much that she became someone else's girl that she took someone else's hand?

The answer couldn't be more obvious, so he knew that if he really missed Aglaia, maybe what awaited him would be endless regrets, and he didn't want to do this.

Tom has never been a person who is afraid of challenges, and he has always been a person who will try his best to do it after making up his mind. It is not the first time he has chased a girl, but this time the object is changed to Aglaia. In fact, this is better, they have known each other for so many years, at least he knows her enough.

Ever since he was enlightened by the enlightening words of his best friend Benedict, Tom no longer struggles with troubles. He is a person who does not like to struggle by nature. Now that he has figured it out, he can do what he should do.

He was going to wait for the girl to return to London before finding a chance to express his feelings. Although communication technology is so advanced now, he still feels that some things must be said in person to be clear and respectful.

However, Aglaia, whom Tom was looking forward to eagerly, did not return for a long time.Not long ago, a few days before Christmas, when Aglea was continuing to prepare for her next concert in Los Angeles, she received a notice from her boss, Simon, asking her to help out in the first season of the American version of TheXFactor, Aglea Leia then rushed to California [Note 7] to support the talent show prepared by her boss.

Compared with the Britain's Got Talent she participated in, TheXFactor's schedule is much longer, and the competition is much more intense, and this competition is only for singing, unlike Britain's Got Talent where everyone can come.

On the evening of December 12, Aglea sang an adaptation of Sarah Connor's "Christmas In My Heart" on TheXFactor, and then sang a re-arrangement with Justin Bieber, who also came to help out. The song "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" after the song made the fans in the United States very excited, and the response on the scene was very enthusiastic.

Jonathan commented that his boss is really scheming. He arranged for Aglaia to help TheXFactor, not only to let Aglaia add highlights to the show he produced, to increase the ratings of the show, but also to help Aglaia promote it for free In her next concert, she killed two birds with one stone, and she was really smart.

Jonathan spread his hands and said, "So, you know why he is the boss, and I'm just a small employee." Aglaia said with a smile, "Oh, come on, you're not a small employee, aren't you Do you have shares in the company? Also, don’t mention Simon, you are also a cunning, otherwise how could you trick me into the company. "

Jonathan said triumphantly: "Oh, girl, I take this as a compliment to me." Aglaia pushed him with a smile and didn't refute anything.

At the end of January 2012, Aglaia, who successfully held the concert in Los Angeles and ended the entire concert schedule, thought she could return to London, but unexpectedly received a notice from Jonathan, asking her to meet with a director. Go for a role.

Aglaia was very surprised and said, "Jonathan, I've never acted before, okay?" Jonathan waved his hand easily and said, "Why not, haven't you acted in a MV before, and the director praised you too?" ? There is a first time for everything. If you don’t try, how will you know if it will work? Let me tell you first, I finally got this audition opportunity, don’t mess it up, work hard, can you If you can’t open a path for yourself to develop, that’s all.”

The author has something to say: the second update is here~~~

Put the welfare map:

[Note 1]: This is also true. The Daily Telegraph did list Benedict as the greatest Sherlock Holmes. I also think that Queer deserves it. He completely played Sherlock.

[Note 2]: Olivia Prott and Queye have been dating for ten years. They met when Queye was studying at Manchester University, but they broke up in the end. It is quite embarrassing to say.It is said that she also played a guest role in the second episode of the first season of Sherlock, that is, the woman with the sky-high hairpin on her head, so she was also named "Jade Hairpin Sister".Attached is a picture:

[Note 3]: In 2005, before Benedict went to South Africa to film "Until the End of the World", the two broke up briefly, but after Benedict returned to China, the two decided to get back together. In 2011, the two broke up again.

[Note 4]: Don't wonder why they drink whiskey during the day. In fact, the British really like to drink. According to statistics, they are the people who drink the most in the world.China is the second.According to the survey, 84% of British people drink alcohol, and one in ten people drink every day.

[Note 5]: It has been dull for five full years, these are the original words of Lord Que.He wanted to expect their child with Olivia, but Olivia didn't seem to want to, which may be a big reason for their final breakup.

【Note 6】: Master Que's half-sister is much older than her and is already in her 50s.About saying that Lord Que is too smart and quick-witted, these are also her sister's exact words.

[Note 7]: When TheXFactor arrived at the live broadcast, it was indeed held in California.
