[British and American Entertainment] The Road to True Love

Aglaia's new album "Dream" has aroused great repercussions as soon as it was released. Whether it is the music with richer elements or Aglaia's appearance in this album, it is amazing.

In particular, the second wave of the album, "Chasing The Daydream", has spread rapidly around the world with its popular light rock melody and artistic lyrics, dominating the major charts in Europe and America, and even occupying the top spot on Billboard. It lasted four weeks before being knocked off the throne by Katy Perry's "PartOfMe".

This song has also become a well-deserved pop song. It seems that wherever you go, you can hear Aglaia's familiar voice, singing "So just sail the desire, chasing the daydream, leave the pain behind, and bring the lights in..." Including Aglaia and the company, all I didn't expect that "Chasing The Daydream" would be so successful.

While the album was a great success, Aglaia also received more and more magazine invitations. The well-known British fashion magazine "iD" [Note 1] invited Aglaia to shoot the latest fashion blockbuster for it. And do a short visit.

The shooting location was in an old but elegantly decorated house. Aglaia changed four looks in total and took pictures in different places in the old house. In the end, the photographer chose the one he was most satisfied with as cover.

On that cover, Aglaia was wearing a white Versace dress[Note 2], sitting on the floor with her legs bent sideways, the gauze skirt was spread out, the slender hair looming under the skirt, and the exposed The toes with white nail polish on the outside are all exquisite.

Her blond hair was deliberately messed up by the stylist, and the lipstick on her lips was also deliberately painted very light, as if a beauty who went to a banquet the night before and went to sleep wearing makeup had just woken up from her sleep.

She lifts her temple hair with one hand, squints one eye to look at the camera in a daze, opens her mouth slightly, the corners of her lips seem to be slightly raised [Note 3], and the whole person reveals a sense of laziness and charm.

When the entire group of photos including the cover was officially exposed, many people praised Aglaia for being so beautiful in this group of photos, and said that Aglaia is now a full-fledged goddess.

When the new issue of "iD" came out, Tom was already in Detroit performing "Only Love Is Eternal". People go to a restaurant for dinner.

Passing by a bookstore after eating, Tom looked sideways subconsciously, and then saw the stunning look of his girlfriend on the "iD" outside.

Tom looked at the magazine for a few seconds, thought twice, and silently paid for a copy.Tilda smiled and said, "Oh, that's not your type of book."

Tom replied with a smile, "I just wanted to look at it suddenly, and I think the cover is very beautiful." Tilda looked at the cover of the magazine in Tom's hand, nodded and said, "It's really beautiful, that's the singer The singer of "Chasing The Daydream", right? He is very beautiful, and the song is also very good, young people nowadays, it really makes us old people not accept the old." [Note 5]

Tom smiled and said: "Tilda, don't say that, you don't look old at all, you are still so young and full of vigor." Tilda raised her eyebrows proudly and said, "Well, the compliment of being full of vigor , I took it, and honestly, I'm proud of it."

There was an energy in Tilda that Tom admired so much, and a sense of otherworldly freedom.She is independent, she disdains to be classified, she just follows her own heart, she is full of enthusiasm, intelligence and sensitivity, and there is no shortage of kindness.

All these things are mixed into such a unique Tilda, who constantly breaks the so-called routine imposed by the world, and she lives her own life.This state is exactly what Tom desires.

Filming "Only Love Is Eternal" was a very magical experience, not only because Jarmusch [Note 6] has penetrated into the bone marrow, all kinds of allusions and the ubiquitous literary and artistic atmosphere, but also because of the Adam he will play. The role is in great contrast with himself.

If Tom is a sunny and cheerful extrovert, then Adam is a sensitive and gloomy introvert, they are completely different.Of course, this is exactly the effect Tom is pursuing. As an actor, he certainly hopes to try a variety of roles, rather than being limited to performing one type of role.

Tom has put a lot of thought into this role, or in other words, when he plays every role, he puts his heart into it, but sometimes his heart can’t match his nature. As a person who loves to laugh by nature, Tom must It takes a lot of energy to keep yourself from laughing.Even Tilda said: "It is very difficult to keep Tom from laughing." 【Note 7】

This vampire love story ended at the end of the summer, and as soon as the filming was done, Tom went straight to the set of "Thor: The Dark World" and didn't even bother to go back home.

Aglaia, who stayed in London, saw that it was already autumn, but Tom still didn't come back to London, so she couldn't help feeling a little worried. When she packed his luggage for him, most of the clothes she brought were short-sleeved clothes, long sleeves and coats Only one or two.

Seeing that the temperature is about to turn cold, I don't know if Tom will feel cold.During the call a few days ago, Tom also mentioned that in one or two months, the crew will be going to Iceland for filming, and the temperature there must be even colder.

Thinking that he happened to have a spare key to Tom's apartment, Aglaia decided to go to the set to see Tom, and take some of his heavy clothes with him.Aglaia then called Tom's agent in the United States, Luke Windsor [Note 8], and informed him of his upcoming visit.

Regarding this relationship, what Tom and Aglaia meant was to go with the flow, not deliberately conceal it, but they didn't take the initiative to announce it. They hoped to keep more space, so so far, knowing that the two are already in love, Apart from their managers, there are only a few sporadic friends of their own.

It was early in the morning when Aglaia arrived in a low-key manner. Luke came to pick her up at the airport. After Aglaia thanked him, he loaded the big suitcase into the car.

They then drove to the set. When Luke led Aglaia into the house, Tom and Zachary Levi were still putting on makeup. The Beatles songs were playing loudly in the RV for makeup. Zachary was humming to the tune.

So Aglaia's exhaustion from traveling was immediately dispelled by the noisy music. She laughed, but neither Tom nor Zachary heard it. Luke and Aglaia looked at each other amusedly. With a glance, Luke stepped forward and patted Tom on the shoulder.

After Tom turned his head, he pointed in the direction of Aglaia, and Tom followed the direction Luke pointed, and saw Aglaia standing not far away, smiling at him.

Aglaia was wearing a simple sky blue knee-length dress, covered with a short white sweater embellished with pearls, and a pair of pointed royal blue high heels, showing the girl's fair complexion even more.

If Aglaia in the past was like a flower bud with dew, then now she is like an English rose in full bloom, and Tom can't take his eyes away.

He wanted to walk over, but the make-up was not finished, so he had to turn off the music and said to Aglaia: "Leia, wait a moment, I will be fine soon." He found an empty seat next to him and sat down, quietly waiting for Tom to finish his makeup.

After a while, Tom and Zachary's makeup was done, and the makeup artist got up and walked out, leaving more room for them.Tom came over, gave Aglaia a hug, and said, "Why didn't you tell me you were coming? I didn't know about it."

The girl smiled and said, "I told Luke, and I told Luke not to tell you. I wanted to give you a surprise, so are you happy?" "Of course I'm happy!" Tom said, "Darling, I missyou , it's great that you can come to visit the class."

Zachary, who was at the side, said, "Oh~ when did you two get together? Aglaia, you don't know if you're in love, you're not enough friends."

Aglaia held Tom's hand with some embarrassment, and said to Zachary: "In fact, we have just been together not long ago, anyway, it's nice to see you here, Zachary, since the last time we finished together "Rapunzel", we seem to have never had a chance to meet, just contacted through Twitter and text messages, how are you lately?"

Zachary shrugged and said: "It's not bad, it's good, you've really become more and more beautiful recently, and you're getting more and more beautiful, the new album is great, oh, by the way, we have a few dates tonight Well, let’s go to KTV together, you should go too, it’s so crowded.”

Aglaia agreed, and Zachary immediately got up and left the makeup car, saying that he would no longer be the light bulb for Tom and Aglaia.After Zachary left, Tom sat down with his arms around Aglaia's waist, and the girl snuggled into his arms obediently.

He glanced at the large suitcase, and said with a smile, "Leia, are you going to live here for a long time? You brought so many things?"

Aglaia glared at him casually, and said, "Even if I wanted to, I still need so much time! I brought you your heavy clothes, didn't you say that you will go to Iceland after a while Is it? So I packed two down jackets, some sweaters, and a woolen coat for you."

Tom touched the girl's face and said, "It'ssosweet, thank you, darling." Aglaia said, "It's nothing, as long as you can use it."

She lightly touched his pale face after putting on makeup, and continued: "I still like the original you, but now you look haggard as if you just recovered from a long illness, and your whole face has lost all color. Also, is it my hallucination? I always feel that you seem to be thinner again."

I don’t know who said it, only those who really love you will pay attention to your situation at any time. As long as they haven’t seen you for a while, they always feel that you are thin, because they are worried about you in their hearts, and they will be in your heart. Where they didn't see, they were wronged, or they didn't take good care of themselves.

Tom then thought of his mother Diana. Since he went to Eton for junior high school, every time he went home to visit his mother during the holidays, Diana always touched his face and said that he had lost weight again. At that time, he even had obvious baby fat, which had nothing to do with being thin or anything.

Now, many years later, another woman, just as Diana once did, caresses his face tenderly and says that he has lost weight. It all seems like an amazing coincidence of fate, and Tom must admit , at this moment, he is so grateful for this coincidence.

The girl's warm hand made Tom feel softer. He reached out and held her hand touching his face, and said softly: "No, I'm not thin. I take good care of myself. I remember You said to check, how could I not take care of myself?"

Aglaia raised her head with a smile, kissed his chin, and said, "Well, it's not too bad, let me give you a reward." Tom shook his head, pouted slightly and frowned, and said, "I think this reward Maybe a little stingy, what do you think of Darling?"

As she said that, she lowered her head to kiss Aglaia's lips. She hid twice with a smile, and then Tom grabbed her chin and kissed her firmly.

His kisses were not as gentle and gentle as he seemed at first glance. In fact, Aglaia felt that Tom's kisses contained some strength and fiery passion. In such kisses, it was always difficult for her to maintain her mind. Sober, he can only be led to sink step by step.

After this sweet enough kiss, Tom finally let go of Aglaia. At this time, her face was covered with a haze and red tide similar to drunkenness, as if she had just drank a large glass of vodka Same.

Tom also had some unsteady breathing, but it was much better than Aglaia, who was in a hypoxic state. He pressed against her forehead, and his breath blended together. When he spoke, his lips brushed against hers, making each other so Some trembling.

He said: "Need more practice, huh?" The tone of the voice rose slightly at the end of the sentence, as if laughing at the jerky and awkwardness of the girl's kiss.Aglaia held back her shyness, not to be outdone, and said, "Yes, we are both." He almost said directly: Your skills are not much better.

This kind of questioning challenged the dignity of a man too much. As soon as Tom raised his eyebrows, he was about to lower his head and prove his strength with actions again. Aglaia hurriedly stretched out his hand to block it.

Fortunately, the director told the actors to get ready for shooting, so Tom didn't do anything. He just kissed her on the forehead, got up and left the makeup van, and walked quickly to the set area. With a hot face, the heat didn't go away for most of the day.

After the red tide on her face dissipated, Aglaia was finally able to calm down and do her own thing. She took out her music book from her bag, turned to one of the pages, took out a pencil and began to scribble and correct.

Because "Dream" caused a huge response, the company decided to take advantage of the victory to catch up with the festive atmosphere and release a Christmas album for Aglaia when the popularity has not yet dissipated.

Because the production time of the new album is limited, neither Aglaia nor the company put too many original tracks into it. There are a total of 11 songs in the album. Luca wrote one, Ben wrote one, and the others are all Sing some old Christmas songs again.

This is not a rare thing, this is also one of the conventions of Christmas albums.As long as there is more effort in the adaptation, it might not be possible to produce a version that surpasses the old songs.

In order to improve Aglaia, who is still a little weak in composition skills, Ben asked her to modify three of the old songs, and asked her to come up with new ideas and features, so whenever she is free recently, Aglaia will follow These old songs compete.

The author has something to say: I’m sorry that I forgot to inform you of the update time in the last chapter. A certain Bei found that he was really a bit amnesiac lately. Maybe he was too busy and lacked sleep, so he often talked , I forgot what I wanted to say ╮(╯▽╰)╭

Attached are the benefits of this chapter, full of the British style of Dou Senyoumuyou~(≧▽≦)/~:

[Note 1]: "iD" magazine is famous for its unique creative pictures and unique layout. The founder is former British Vogue (Vogue) magazine art director Tony Jones (Terry Jones), and now this magazine has become Britain's most influential fashion magazine. The pages of "iD" may appear everywhere, and there is almost no sign of typography. Pictures occupy most of the pages of the magazine, and there are very few additional instructions and descriptions.Jones explained this: "The function of language is to entertain and convey information, but mainly to serve the lazy reader." The photography of iD magazine combines the two styles of documentary and fashion, and this style is called "The Straightforward Style of iD Magazine".

[Note 2]: Attached are pictures of this Versace 2012 new dress:

[Note 3]: Leia's expression is not random. In fact, this is the expression that every actress on the cover of "iD" will make. One eye is squinted. The only difference is that some people smile very brightly and obviously, while some people's smiles are not obvious.The reason for this is also to cater to "iD". As shown in the picture below, pay attention to the title of the magazine in the upper left corner. You can see that after rotating "iD" 90 degrees clockwise, it looks like a person squinting Only eyes are smiling.

[Note 4]: I still remember the first time I watched Tilda's work, which was "Orlando" played by her. To be honest, I didn't really understand this movie at the time. I was probably too young at that time. Some emotions cannot be felt.However, Tilda did leave a deep impression on me, her androgynous beauty, there is a charm beyond gender.She herself is also a woman with a lot of stories, but the story is too long to be posted here, so please those who are interested, go and search for it yourself.Attached is a photo of her:

[Note 5]: Tilda was 52 years old when she starred in "Only Love Is Eternal". It can be said that she is almost the same generation as Dou Sen's mother, so there will be such remarks.

[Note 6]: Jarmusch (full name: Jim Jarmusch) is the director of "Only Love Is Eternal". He can also be said to be a genius. He has dabbled in many fields: literature, music, film, etc.He has been committed to making independent films, and most of his works exude a strong literary style, which requires people to think deeply when watching.

[Note 7]: Regarding this remark, it is taken from Tilda's original words. When she was interviewed, she said: "It's really troublesome not to make Tom Hiddleston laugh. He babbled: Adam, you can't laugh, that would ruin the atmosphere of the film. The corners of his mouth were slightly bent, as if he was not very happy, but he still completed the task..." ╮(╯▽╰)╭爱How painful it is for a laughing child not to be able to laugh~~

[Note 8]: This Luke Windsor (Luke Windsor) is Tom's publicist in the United States that I have mentioned many times.The photo is attached, the one surrounded by the little red circle is Luke.
