Chapter 642 - Second Date!
After New Year's dinner, it was already approaching ten o'clock.
When everyone returned to the apartment, Glen and Anna parted ways with them.
??
Perhaps because they were in a western country, everyone didn't have a special feeling of the New Year's atmosphere.
In the apartment's elevator, Merry was standing alone in the corner with her head bowed and silent.
She rubs her cell phone on her hand and feels unhappy.
After Lilia and Jean arrived at the floor of her room, they led out into the corridor.
Dina and Rini followed behind. When the elevator's doors slowly closed, Merry stared silently at Chris, and saw his cheeks glow a little red.
At this time, Chris was standing at the front and clearly saw Merry's expression through the reflection on the elevator.
His eyes sank, and when the door opened, he walked out without a sound.
Merry was stunned behind him.
The second uncle… Completely ignored her!
In Merry's little world, she didn't know what that feeling was like.
At this moment, she felt a little uneasy in her heart.
The feeling did not go away until she heard the voice of her second uncle closing the apartment's door.
The little girl was standing alone in the middle of the corridor, with her apartment to the left and her second uncle across.
But at this time, the room door did not open for her.
She looked at the door, wrinkled the corners of her mouth sadly, then turned to her room and went straight in.
Inside, the rabbit doll is ready to befriend her all night long.
...
On the top floor, Lilia returned to the room and turned on the TV again.
The Spring Festival Gala replay is still in progress. She took off her coat and asked the man down on the sofa. "Tonight, let's watch this together."
She wanted to enjoy this holiday with him, watching and listening to the jingle of New Year's Eve.
Although they weren't in Indonesia, the holiday stayed the same.
The man is still wearing the coat. He glanced at the time, his eyes warm. "Tired?"
"Not tired!" Lilia wondered if she was going to make him a cup of tea, but she suddenly heard Jean say, "Do you want to get out?"
She was surprised and smiled. "Where are we going?"
"Anywhere, if you're not tired. Let's go out now."
Lilia was curious enough, but she didn't argue. After putting on their coats again, the two of them left the apartment.
...
Half an hour later, at LA Cinema Studios.
When Lilia got out of the car, she saw the studio's logo in front of her, then she smiled and hugged the man. "Are you taking me here for a movie date?"
"Your movie will be released at midnight."
It turned out that he still remembered.
In domestic time, the film has already been released, and the current 7.7 rating seems fine.
They both read online reviews, and the audience's response was rather serious.
Lilia glanced at the time, it was almost eleven in the evening.
She and her man walked to the theater hand in hand. There weren't many people and the Chosen Kingdom's promotional video was playing on the big screen ahead.
In fact, she had never seen the complete film effect before.
The final female supporting role in the film was temporarily changed, which also rebuilt the image of the female support role she played.
Lilia is standing at the cinema, looking at the promo on the screen, a little nervous.
Twenty minutes later, they walked into the VIP seats.
There are only those watching.
Lilia looked around and smiled, "Looks like this movie isn't very interesting. Nobody bought tickets…"
The man next to her adjusted the soft sofa to a more comfortable angle, and just as he was about to speak, he heard footsteps coming from the entrance.
When Lilia heard the voice, she looked back and was surprised to see the other party.
It seemed that the two people who were blocked by the staff along the door did not expect to see the two of them.
Glen stood on the steps and squinted. "Haven't you returned to your apartment?"
Anna also turned her head and saw a familiar figure, so she quickly explained to the staff in a foreign language, with a rather aggressive tone.
At this time, Jean was faintly looking back at Glen with deep brows. "What are you here for?"
"Watching movies!" Glen climbed the stairs quietly, joking as he walked. "I wanted to sit in the VIP hall, but the staff said that the only VIP room had already been purchased. I also wanted to see who was so rich and powerful that he could throw me out. Apparently, that little bastard is you after all!"
The Sylvester family was always ridiculous. A man as tall and gigantic as Glen could only watch movies in the VIP room.
Otherwise, there would be no place to put his long legs.
Lilia heard Glen's taunts and couldn't stop from not patting the man's arm. "So, you bought this place?"
It's no surprise that apart from them, there wasn't a single spectator.
The man and Glen met, and his handsome, deep face flicked helplessly.
Glen raised his eyebrows and called after he sat down. "You even paid for the guard at the door of the cinema, how rich you are!"
Anna, who was following him, also sat down beside her brother.
There was an aisle between them, and Anna waved her hand at her.? "Sis, I saw the news today and found out that this is a movie that you starred in, so of course I came here to watch it!"
Anna's curiosity about Lilia never goes away.
She happened to be free, so she took her brother to watch a movie to kill time.
When Lilia heard Anna's words, she smiled and humbly shook her head. "I'm not the main actor, I'm just a side character!"
"Oh, it's still the same, your name is on the front line of the poster, and you must be one of the main characters."
In the private screening hall, the room no longer seemed empty because of the figures of Glen and Anna.
Before the opening of the film, the service staff brought some cakes and hot tea and milk, and the only glass of milk was delivered to Lilia's seat.
Everything is set, and as the clock strikes 12 midnight, the movie officially begins.
Lilia pays attention to every plot and story intensively.
The opening scene is the one where she goes to find the king in the rain.
Time has passed, and the hard work and effort during filming was now projected onto the screen. The feeling was completely different.
Lilia watched and recalled the various details of the shooting.
Shirley's figure, the dangerous situation along the river, the production in several locations, and every frame that ticks on the screen gradually overlaps with her personal experience.
The film is 135 minutes long.
In the last scene, Lilia gradually wiped her tears away.
The scene at the end is the one where the character she plays dies to save the king.
This is also the last scene where all the scenes have been completed. She had put all her emotions into acting.
In the picture, Lilia falls into the king's arms, her eyes filled with love. When she slowly closed her eyes, a relieved smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Loved, hated, and hurt, her whole life was painted by all these feelings, and at the same time, she died in the arms of the king she loved.
Handling this kind of film plot makes Lilia empathize with her role, as if the character comes to life with her.
Until now, she was confused about why Indonesian critics praised the character she played, saying that she even managed to overshadow the popularity of the heroine Shirley.
Initially, when Lilia agreed to take on the role, she was not happy with the storyline.
What exactly caused Louis to rewrite her character's ending?
