After sending Kinsel off, the two and a half-year-old children got into the car and drove towards the reserved restaurant. Vida, who took off his hat and mask in the car, breathed a sigh of relief. There was a smell of sea outside the window. The smelly wind made her feel a lot more comfortable.
This is Ilian, a holy land for filmmakers. Nowadays, almost all movies are premiered in Ilian, and film critics are also concentrated here, including a large number of media.
Only movies that have received critical acclaim and box office success in Ilian have the foundation to become a hit. This has almost become a standard and a way of evaluation in the film industry.
The sea breeze in mid-August is when the smell is strongest. The fishy smell of the sea water gives Vida a special freshness. You can't enjoy such wind in Alfalfa Town and Kansas.
The salty smell is mixed with a trace of moisture, which is a little pleasant, but also something strange is surging.
"The movie is very successful, and the joint crew believes that we can dominate the entire summer this year." Magellan talked about the content related to the movie while driving.
The fresh themes and concepts, coupled with the ability of the gold medal screenwriters to write stories, and the powerful and luxurious lineup, immediately caught the attention of all audiences. A large number of film critics have already given high marks to these eight movies released at the same time. high score.
The popularity of the Westworld series of movies is unstoppable. Dulin has authorized factories under six major production companies to start producing movie peripheral products. The first batch was sold out as soon as it came out, which also adopted Dulin's special strategy.
They numbered the first batch of products, and only one thousand pieces of each type of peripheral product were issued. In addition to the number, one hundred random products will also have the star's autograph - which was actually signed by the star's assistant.
It is said that the cowgirl T-shirt played by Kinsale has become a hot item. The signed piece of clothing No. 009 was listed on the market for a high price of 3,500 yuan, and it only cost 9.9 yuan when purchased.
Sequels and Avengers are already on the schedule, and they plan to release two to four of them during this winter holiday to consolidate the market.
Almost all the actors became famous overnight, and some stars who had always been in the second-tier film industry also became first-tier movie stars, and their salaries soared.
But among these actors, not all are lucky, some are more unlucky, such as Magellan.
With a high salary of 260,000 yuan, the performance time is less than ten minutes. Some people think that Magellan's early potential is overestimated. He is not suitable for playing an important role in large-scale productions. Some of the original plans that he had intended to do were not fulfilled. The unexpected ending somewhat affected his career as a star.
Listening to Magellan's words, Vida once again felt guilty. She actually heard some negative news about Magellan. Originally, he also had the opportunity to step into the circle of first-tier movie stars from second-tier movie stars, but now it's not just as simple as staying put. , and some regression.
Thinking of this, Vader felt even more uncomfortable, "But this is unfair to you."
fair
Magellan smiled, glanced at the girl sitting in the passenger seat, and then turned his gaze to the traffic directly ahead, "Don't be stupid, there is nothing fair or unfair. If you sacrifice me, you can become a top-notch star. It’s all worth it.”
He paused as he spoke, then added with a smile, "Many people have sacrificed a lot but cannot get a chance, and this is what I am willing to do!"
Vida was moved by his words. While being moved, she also felt more and more guilty. She always felt that she had caused Magellan to suffer a major failure. "I will explain the reason to everyone. It is not your fault!"
"No, needless to say, you have to take your brother's dignity into consideration..." Magellan said calmly, "We all think that big people should have a positive side, and Mr. Dulin does. Don't let people misunderstand you because of some small misunderstandings. he."
Some words are not suitable for use in persuasion. Although a line-by-line study cannot find any ambiguity, these words are simply not suitable for use in persuasion.
For example, if a weak person is bullied by a strong person, if someone says, "What else can you do besides giving in, how can you kill him?" or "You are this life, you deserve to be bullied, you have the ability." Bully him back?" Come to persuade the weak, maybe it will have the opposite effect.
Words like this are actually advising people to be calm in the face of reality, but they are really inappropriate, just like Magellan's words, which seem to have no problem, but are actually adding fuel to the fire.
"Also, I recently got a job offer."
Vida's low mood was immediately aroused by these words, and she asked expectantly, "What kind of job is it?"
"A supporting actor in a small-production film..." He reached out and rubbed Vida's hair. "Look, at least I haven't been abandoned by the market. I still have a job."
Vader's newly high mood turned low, "Small production..."
The small production and the supporting actor are enough to illustrate the dilemma that Magellan is facing now. The investors of the big production were unwilling to risk offending Du Lin by inviting Magellan to be the protagonist, so the small production took advantage.
Similar things happen every year in the film industry. This has become a festival for some small production investors. They hire these actors who have obviously been delayed due to certain social problems to play supporting roles and make their leading actors popular. Although this trick is not It's useless, but at least it can improve the status and salary of the leading actors in small-production films in the industry.
After all, "big stars" like Magellan are only supporting roles, so the leading role must be much more "powerful".
Then the car returned to calm, and both of them were thinking about their own things until the car stopped outside a restaurant.
The two got out of the car and went straight to the reserved table. Soon the restaurant's chef served them exquisite dishes.
With the help of the right atmosphere and some alcoholic drinks, the subtle emotions between the two are heating up quickly.
They talked about a lot of things. Most of the time, Magellan was talking and Vida was listening. Compared with Magellan's profound knowledge, Vida was obviously inferior, which made her admire Magellan even more.
"You're amazing. This is the first time I've heard of many things." The girl took a sip of red wine. The bottle of red wine they ordered was made using an ancient brewing process, using dragon blood wood chips and wine barrels. The color of the wine is brighter red.
In response to Vida's compliment on Magellan's knowledge, he smiled and shook his head, "I just started wandering in society earlier than you, so I have seen and heard more. After a few years, you will feel that this is nothing." amazing."
The dinner in the restaurant was sumptuous and tasted very good. While the two were chatting and laughing, the waiter served them dessert, but this time the dessert was a bit "huge".
Vida had rarely been to such a high-end restaurant, and thought that such a scale was normal. After eating some, she discovered that the base of the dessert was a transparent ice cube.
She didn't pay attention. When she was almost done with the dessert, she unexpectedly discovered that there was a beautiful gemstone necklace in a heart-shaped ice cube.
Magellan stood up, walked to Vida's side, put the ice cube into a small silver bowl beside her in her surprised eyes, and then poured some amber from the small bottle brought by the waiter. of liquid and ignite the liquid.
The ice cubes melted rapidly in the flames, and then under Vader's disbelieving gaze, Magellan reached into the flames and took out the necklace.
The entire ruby necklace and his hands were burning with flames. Although it looked very dangerous and terrifying, it also gave people an indescribable beauty and shock.
He slowly wrapped the wet wipes handed over by the waiter to his palms and necklace, and then took out his hands.
The ruby necklace lies quietly among the white wet towels. The white color makes the red color more vivid and dazzling!
Some of the surrounding dining guests stopped and began to applaud. Such a mood was obviously in line with the values of upper class society in such an atmosphere.
Romance, novelty, and some adventure can add a touch of color to a boring life.
At some point, some reporters gathered outside the restaurant. Under the witness of the camera lens, Magellan personally put this gem necklace worth more than 10,000 yuan on Vida.
"You are very beautiful. Your skin is very white. It makes you more beautiful." Magellan did not hesitate to praise him at all, which made Vida blush even more.
She couldn't put it down and touched the gem necklace around her neck. Feeling the envious or congratulatory looks from all directions, she lowered her head in embarrassment.
At this time, both the environment and the atmosphere were just right. Magellan lifted Vader's chin and kissed her on the lips, and the applause around her became even more enthusiastic.
After dinner, the relationship between the two went further. After watching the midnight show, Vida already had the idea of not going back, but Magellan still sent her back to Kinsale's villa.
Some things are neither urgent nor suitable to be done now.
Early the next morning, most of the headlines of Ilian's entertainment media showed a photo of Magellan kissing Vidal in a restaurant, accompanied by text and some conjectures, which made Magellan, who had been somewhat excluded by the market, come back again. Before the public's attention.
At around eight o'clock in the morning, Magellan called Vida and told her that if a reporter asked whether they were in love, it was best to avoid the topic as much as possible.
Because some of his troubles may affect Vader's image in the minds of the audience, but he cannot hurt Vader's future stardom.
Not long after, Vidal admitted in front of many reporters that he was in love with Magellan. For a time, all media related to entertainment were reporting on the romance between the two.
