[British and American Entertainment] The Road to True Love

In the eyes of outsiders, Aglaia and Lily are absolutely incompatible people. They have different personalities, different hobbies, different ways of doing things, and different life backgrounds. Perhaps the only thing they have in common is their talent for music and enthusiasm.

But it's just such two girls who seem so incompatible, but they have become very good friends, which is really surprising.

In people's general cognition, it seems that friends should have a lot in common, but many times you will find that two people who are too similar may not be friends, just like two identical magnetic poles, close to each other , always mutually exclusive.

On the contrary, sometimes people who seem to belong to two completely different worlds can unexpectedly get along together, and this is also true for Aglaia and Lily.

Aglaia is mild-tempered, and Lily is hot-tempered. Aglaia never takes the initiative to say right and wrong, and Lily never shy away from talking about others.

There are too many differences between them, but Aglaia appreciates Lily's magnanimity and straightforwardness, and Lily also likes Aglaia's sincerity and kindness. Not tolerable, in fact complement each other.

The relationship between Aglaia and Lily is getting better and better. They are not limited to meeting each other at the racecourse. They also meet up for a small gathering in normal times. They even went to each other's homes and got to know each other's family members.

She knew that Lily's husband, Sam Cooper, was an entrepreneur five years older than Lily and an amateur jockey. Lily told Aglaia that she was under the influence of Sam. Join the equestrian club.Aglaia has met Sam, he is a very tolerant person, and he loves Lily very much.

Lily is about 7 years older than Aglaia, and already has two daughters. The eldest daughter Ethel is almost two years old, and the youngest daughter Marnie is also nine months old [Note 2]. Lily, who is hot and sharp in the eyes of outsiders, When facing her own daughter, she is a very good mother.

Lily is not a very patient woman, but when she took care of the two children, she always tried to suppress her bad temper. In Aglaia's view, Lily like this is also a great mother, because of her maternal love above her nature.

Lily, who has been away from the music scene for more than four years, is currently preparing her new single. The theme of the song is as ironic and spicy as ever. She talked to Aglea that she created this new song because of Robin The music video for Thicke's controversial "Blurred Lines." 【Note 3】

Lily, who has quit smoking and drinking for the sake of her two daughters, with potato chips in her mouth, scribbled on the staves, said to Aglaia vaguely: "I was upset when I saw the MV. XXX men take it for granted to objectify women, thinking that women should be their playthings, I am XXX, why?!"

Aglaia smiled, and didn't feel uncomfortable because of Lily's outburst. In fact, she felt that Lily was right, and she didn't like that song very much.

As Tom once said, the world seems to have lost the true meaning of romance. Many songs and works are very disrespectful to women.

Aglaia also hated such songs. She didn't write songs to criticize irony like Lily, but it didn't mean she was keeping silent. She just didn't bother talking to such people.

But Lily doesn't have such a good temper, she felt that she was going to vent out when she was upset, and in November, she officially released her new single "HardOutHere" [Note 4], which satirizes the unhealthy trends in the entertainment industry , and also mocked Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines".

Once the new single was released, it really caused a lot of controversy, and Robin Thicke was pushed to the forefront again. Although he has repeatedly stated that he did not mean to objectify women, he still received a lot of criticism.

And Lily, who criticized him, has also become a hot topic at the moment. She has received a lot of attention. Some people praise her for being brave and telling the truth, while others think she is too extreme and one-sided.

Lily doesn't care about that, and even in interviews, she speaks out loud, giving a lot of female celebrities — such as Adele, Rihanna, Angela Merkel, Aglaia, Miley, etc. - titled "bitch". 【Note 5】

Of course, the "bitch" in her mouth is not a derogatory term, she just refers to those women who do not obey the rules of this circle and live with principles and personality.

Some media specially interviewed Aglaia and asked her if she would feel uncomfortable being called a "bitch" by Lily. Don't mind the seemingly rude title.When the starting point boss is reborn Jinjiangwen

She said: "I don't think there is anything wrong with the title, because I understand what Lily means. The world seems to always be very harsh on women. We have a lot of constraints and a lot of rules to obey. If you break the rules, you will be regarded as a woman. If you are different, you will even be denied and abused."

A lot of surprising information was revealed from Aglaia's speech.First of all, people found that this gentle-looking lady actually had her proud side inside, and, judging from the way she called Lily, she seemed to have a good impression of the spicy princess who was known for her outspokenness.

Soon, the media took photos of Aglaia having lunch with Lily and her two daughters. In the photo, Aglaia hugged Lily's eldest daughter Ethel and carefully fed her mashed potatoes , Lily sitting opposite also looked at them with a smile on her face.

When these photos were published, many people were shocked. They couldn't figure out how Aglaia and Lily got together.

Because of the strong curiosity of the public, Aglaia and Lily were invited to participate in an interview on a TV show together, and they confessed that they were actually very close personal friends.

When asked how they became good friends, Lily said: "Yeah, I know a lot of people think we don't get along, and I used to think so. I've never been a good girl, and I don't like I don’t like the good girl in the show, so at the very beginning, I really didn’t like her, I think a lady like her must be so hypocritical that it makes people sick, although I think her songs are not bad.”

Speaking of which, Lily pursed her lips in disgust, and Aglaia couldn't help laughing.The host asked Lily again: "Then what changed your mind?"

Lily said: "In recent years, because of pregnancy and childbirth, I stopped smoking and drinking, and quit nightclubs. I didn't expect that because of this, all my so-called friends cut off contact with me one after another. This made me understand But they are just wine and meat friends.”【Note 6】

She pointed at Aglaia casually, and said with a smile: "But this girl is different, she is not the hypocritical person I thought, she is actually very persistent and principled, and she is very frank."

After asking Lily, the host turned to ask whether Aglaia would not get used to Lili's slightly rude speech on weekdays. After all, she has been acting like a perfect lady since she debuted for so long, and she has never been caught saying any foul language.

Aglaia said with a smile: "Of course not. I think Lily like this is actually pretty good. I don't use foul language, it's just my personal habit, and I don't think that foul language must be rude. 【Note 7】 Everyone has their own way of expressing their emotions, some people like to use foul language to vent, some people prefer to exercise and sweat." She also said: "Actually, I don't want people to think of me as a perfect Lady, because I am not."

On this talk show, both Aglaia and Lily showed a different side of themselves than before. At the end of the show, these two equally outstanding singers also sang together a song "It 'sAMan'sMan'sWorld" [Note 8], full of powerful singing, aroused warm applause from the audience.

Aglaia originally thought that many people would be disappointed in her after tearing up her perfect illusion in everyone's hearts, but to her surprise, she gained more love and support.

Many people said that they prefer the current Aglaia, and they feel that this Aglaia is more real, more vivid, and more valuable.

In late November, Tom, who traveled all over the world for publicity, was finally returning to London. Before boarding the plane in the early morning, he sent a text message to Aglaia to inform him of his return date.

It was already early the next morning when Aglaia saw the text message. After calculating the time difference, she immediately took the house key Tom gave her and rushed to his residence.

No one has lived in it for a few months, and the house has already accumulated a layer of dust. Because she wanted Tom to live in it as soon as she came back, she hired a cleaning company to clean it, which would be much faster than cleaning by herself. Wait for the cleaning company After leaving, Aglaia changed the sheets and quilt for Tom with her own hands.

So when Tom, who came back in a hurry, opened the door of the residence with the key, what greeted him was a room that had been cleaned, was spotless, and still exuded a faint fragrance.

He was slightly stunned, and then looked at the off-white lady's wool coat on the back of the sofa in the living room not far away, and quickly understood, with a knowing smile on his face.

There was some faint movement from the direction of the bedroom, and Tom rolled his eyes, suddenly wanting to scare his girl.He slowly took off the leather shoes on his feet at the entrance, closed the door gently, set the suitcase against the shoe cabinet, and then put on a pair of socks and stepped on the floor without slippers, tiptoeing walked into the house.Ao Tang

When he walked to the door of the bedroom, he saw Aglaia wearing a light blue pile-neck sweater, a pair of navy blue Levi's slim-fit jeans, and a pair of pink plush slippers he specially bought for her. , with his back to the door, humming some unknown tunes while making the bed for him.

On the floor behind her, there were still piles of sheets and quilts that had been changed. The whole scene was definitely not neat, but when Tom looked at the bedroom, he suddenly felt that his heart was full.

In the past, when he mentioned the place where he lived, he would never use the word "Home". He always said "House", because he didn't think it was a "home" from the bottom of his heart, it was just called "home". It's just a "dwelling place".

But at this moment, looking at Aglaia's back, he felt that this house finally felt like home.He has never realized so deeply as now that Aglaia means a home, a harbor for him. With her, he will feel at ease and feel at home.

He suddenly called her "darling", the unexpected call scared the unprepared girl, she took a step back in shock, but tripped over the bed sheet and fell to the ground.

He hurried to help her, but he also slipped and fell because of the sheets. In the end, he hugged her and fell into a mess. Fortunately, he fell on the messy bedding on the ground, otherwise there would be more clothes on both of them. Lots of bruises.

Aglaia, who was still in a state of shock, was lying on Tom's chest, her eyes were wide open, and her face was blank and stunned. Seeing her like this, Tom couldn't help laughing heartily, and even raised his head and kissed her on the cheek. He smiled and said, "Leia, you're also cute when you're in a daze."

Only then did Aglaia come back to her senses, and immediately angrily hammered his chest, protesting: "Tom, you really scared me!" After speaking, she supported his chest and wanted to get up.

Tom hurriedly stretched out his hand and pulled her back into his arms, holding her tightly. Aglaia struggled a few times but did not break away, and said angrily and funnyly to Tom who didn't know what was going on: "Tom, you What are you doing, let me go, I haven't made the bed yet."

Tom didn't let go, he gently rubbed the top of the girl's hair with his chin affectionately, and said softly: "The bed can be made later, let me hug you now, Darling, I want to hug you again."

Aglaia sensed Tom's emotions, so she stopped struggling. She obediently lay on his chest, put her arms around his waist, and let herself temporarily forget about the unfinished bed, leaving this moment for herself and her. Tom.

For a long time, they didn't speak, but a kind of tacit affection slowly passed and circulated in the quiet embrace.After a long time, Tom asked, "Darling, would you like to move in and live with me?"

The girl suddenly raised her head and looked at him. He smiled and touched her head, and said, "I know we haven't been dating for a long time, but I'm serious, Leia, I really hope you I can move here. I hope that traces of your life can cover every corner of this house, so that it will change from 'House' to a real 'Home'. Can you consider this proposal?"

Aglaia looked into Tom's eyes. Those crystal-clear eyes were full of hope and tenderness. Being watched by such eyes, few people would not feel moved, let alone Agger who loved him deeply. Leia.

She smiled at him, leaned against him again, and answered him softly but without hesitation: "Okay, I'll move here, move here and live with you."

Tom hugged her tightly in surprise. He turned his joy and satisfaction into a soft and lingering kiss, which fell on her forehead, as if stamping his personal seal on her. From then on, She was his alone.

Soon, Aglaia moved into Tom's apartment with the help of his new assistant, so there were many kinds of women's clothing in his wardrobe, and her high heels were also placed in the shoe cabinet.

Alice, Aglaia's former assistant, was recently promoted and became an agent, and she has also started to lead stars. As a friend, Agleya, although feeling sad, is also very happy for Alice. .

Her new assistant, Hannah, is an English girl, the same age as Aglaia, and much more lively than Alice. Na did not suffer from Jonathan's training.

Aglaia comforted her and said: "It's okay, Hannah, no one is born to do something, it's okay, you can learn slowly, as long as you work hard and don't repeat the same mistakes, you will get better .Jonathan is not a bad person, but his mouth is a bit unforgiving, and you will know when you get to know him, he is actually quite soft-hearted."

Although Hannah didn't feel that Jonathan was soft-hearted at all, she was still very grateful for Aglaia's relief. She gradually let go of her nervousness and studied hard, so she really made fewer and fewer mistakes.Tianyu asked the sky

Not long after living together, Tom began to prepare for Coriolanus. He spent every day in the Doma Theater, doing fitness, playing with the same actors, and discussing roles with the director.

At night, he would rummage through all the materials he might need, extract the parts he needed, and integrate them into his three-dimensional shaping of the character "Coriolanus". At the same time, he would repeatedly Memorize those lines, over and over again, painstakingly.

Many people felt that this was too harsh, saying that he could relax a bit and just prepare temporarily.But Tom doesn't want that, he doesn't want the audience to find out he made a mistake.

Before becoming an actor, he was also an audience member. When he was sitting in the audience, any performance with traces of acting skills would disappoint him.

But now, he has become an actor on stage, and he doesn't want his past regrets to be repeated on his audience. All he does is for one purpose - to make his performance as real as possible. 【Note 9】

The author has something to say: For Aglaia's character, I think the most suitable description is-although she is not arrogant, she is arrogant.She will not be domineering, but she has her own pride inside.
