[British and American Entertainment] The Road to True Love

Not long after, Maiya trotted back and handed the bunch of keys to Aglaia. Aglaia took the keys, thanked her, and said, "Maia, go and do something for North." Just eat something, you may need it later, leave it to me first."

Maia nodded, she knew that as long as Leia said this, she would definitely persuade North, so she didn't need to worry about it here, she turned around and walked to the kitchen, and began to think about what should be prepared for Kronos What food would be better.

After seeing Maia's back disappearing at the corner of the stairs, Aglaia turned around, picked up the key and opened the door of Cronus' room.

After the decoration was completed, she took a key from each room and strung them together, and kept them together, in case someone accidentally locked the door and couldn't open it.She gently opened the door, and saw the mess behind the door.

Kronos has always been a tidy person, so his house is never as messy as many boys of the same age, but just organized, and at this moment, there is no trace of tidiness in this room.

Half of the quilt on the bed was hanging on the ground, and half was hanging on the edge of the bed. There were many scattered papers on the ground, and some fragments of unknown objects. The heavy curtains in the room were tightly drawn, and the lights were not turned on. The whole room is like a dark room, and only a rough glimpse can be made by the light coming in from the open door.

And Kronos, sitting in the middle of this ruined house, surrounded by debris and sundries, sat curled up in a corner with his head in his arms, motionless.

Aglaia's eyes turned red immediately. Her North, her always calm, rational, confident North, her North who had never bowed her head for anyone, is now like A cornered beast is so desperate and fragile.

She blamed herself a little bit for her carelessness. If she could be more careful and call North to care about him more often, maybe North would not be in the situation he is today.

She pursed her lips, walked slowly towards Kronos, knelt down in front of him, and reached out to touch him, but Kronos trembled nervously, and then shouted: "Don't touch me! Let me Stay alone!"

Aglaia bit her lip, a trace of pain and determination flashed in her eyes, then she stood up abruptly, stretched out her hand and pulled Cronus up, and said angrily, before Cronus could speak : "Cronus Donatella! How old do you think you are? Don't you just encounter some setbacks? Is there anything you can't survive?! Who can live without some setbacks in a lifetime!"

This is the first time Aglaia called Kronos by his full name, and it was also the first time she spoke to him in such a harsh tone that Kronos was stunned for a long time before he realized what she said. .

After he realized what Aglaia said, he immediately shook off Agleya's hand as if stung, and shouted loudly: "It's easy for you to say! Do you know that I have nothing All the money I invested in, my fund, my company, all gone! I have nothing left, you know! You won’t understand at all, because you only know how to write songs and write songs! Besides writing songs you What else do you know!"

With red eyes, Aglaia raised her hand and slapped Kronos across the face. With a crisp "slap", both siblings were stunned.Kronos looked at Aglaia in disbelief, and Aglaia also looked at him in shock, and they fell silent at the same time.

After a while, the two couldn't help but say in unison: "I'm sorry." So the originally tense atmosphere between the siblings disappeared with this apology.

With tears in her eyes, Aglaia reached out to touch Kronos' faintly flushed cheeks, and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm sorry, North, I hurt you." Kronos He took her hand and said in a low voice, "No, it's okay, it's me. I'm sorry, Leia, that's not what I mean."

"I know, I know." Aglaia stretched out her arms to hug her younger brother, who was already a head taller than herself, and said comfortingly, "North, never say you have nothing, because no matter when, you will never lose anything." Me and Maia. We are family, family for life, no matter when, we will never leave you behind."

Cronuston felt a lump in his throat, and he hugged Aglaia tightly, as if he wanted to absorb the strength from her to keep him going.

Maia in the kitchen had just put the finished sandwiches on the plate, when she turned her head and saw Aglaia leading Cronus downstairs, she couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, with a smile on her face, and said Said: "North, I made some sandwiches, let's have some."

Kronos walked over to take the plate of sandwiches under Aglaia's gesture, and began to eat his late meal. Maia stuffed a cup of freshly warmed milk into his hand, sisters The two quietly watched Cronus slowly finish the sandwich and drank the hot milk in the cup.

After cleaning the used cups and saucers, the three of them sat in the living room, listening to Cronus explain what happened.

Last year, Kronos established his own investment fund. With his excellent investment ability, he quickly developed the fund and established his own company at the beginning of this year.

But not long after his company was established, under the malicious misleading of a partner, he mistakenly received false information, which directly led to a major mistake in one of his investment decisions.

In the financial industry, there is one second of heaven and one second of hell. In just one second, the result will be completely different.Kronos blundered, and he paid dearly.

The securities he held shrunk significantly, and he became almost worthless. Afterwards, the investors who came after hearing the news and tried to recover their investment made him even more physically and mentally exhausted.

Although when the contract was first signed, it was said that investment is risky and you must be cautious when entering the market, but how can the angry investors care about this? Kronos can't lose money, so they are in Kronos In the small company of Adams, he threw things to vent his anger.

The few employees in the company had already left, and the partner couldn’t be contacted no matter what, and the landlord is now very tough to take back the studio rented to them. Kronos has no way out. His company, all the assets he had run for several years, were gone.

He didn't know why that partner framed him like this, but it didn't matter anymore. Now, even if he knew, he wouldn't be able to fight back quickly.

The only thing he is thankful for is that at the beginning of this year, he considered that Aglaia had already moved in with Tom, and that she might have plans to get married and buy a house at any time, and the money would be used at any time, so he helped her save the money in advance. Her part of the investment was cashed out and deposited into her account, otherwise, it is very likely that his mistake would cause his sister to lose most of her net worth with him.

Aglaia felt more and more uncomfortable seeing the gray and depressed expression on Cronus's face. Her North shouldn't be like this. She must find a way to cheer him up.

She frowned and thought hard, for a long time, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and she asked Cronus: "Nuss, where did you put the letter Marisa wrote to us?"

Kronos didn't know why she asked, but he still replied, "It's in the first drawer of the bedside table on the left." After hearing this, Aglaia got up quickly and ran to Kronos' room to get the He took out the letter and handed it to him.

Kronos was very confused: "Leia, what are you doing with this letter now?" Aglaia insisted: "Look at it, North, maybe after you read this letter, you thinking will be different.”

Kronos took the letter blankly, opened the envelope, unfolded the letter paper, and began to re-read the letter that he had forgotten, and after seeing it, he suddenly understood why Aglaia let him read the letter , I also deeply felt how much Marisa knew him and how far-sighted he was.

The corners of his eyes slowly turned red, and he lowered his head and slowly stroked the beautiful and elegant handwriting on the letter paper, as if stroking Marisa's face.

Marisa probably saw through the fatal flaw in Kronos long ago, so she repeatedly told him to leave a way out for herself, and repeatedly told him to put himself above utility and not be swayed by utility.

It's a pity that Kronos still forgot her earnest entrustment. He was dazzled by the joy of success and plunged into this complicated utilitarian game without turning back and leaving no way out, so he took it for granted. Lost all chips.

Kronos's voice was a little choked up, and he said, "Leia, I think I'm really an idiot, I can't be more stupid!" He hugged this rare and vulnerable boy into his arms.

Aglaia stroked Kronos's messy short hair, and said softly: "It's okay, North. We made a mistake this time, let's remember it carefully, and just don't make it next time. It doesn't matter if you get frustrated, you fall down It doesn't matter, it's good to feel the pain, and the pain may be a kind of realization that breaks out of the cocoon. [Note 1] Besides, who said you have nothing, who said you lost all the bargaining chips? Look, back then When Marisa left, the only thing we three siblings had was the Britain's Got Talent prize money, and the place we lived in was shabby. Now, we can't be worse than then, can we? North, just think you're back where you started, you're still young, you still have time to fight, and you still have time to start all over again."

Maia also interjected: "Yes, yes, North, it's nothing, you are not a saint, how could you never make mistakes all the time, in fact, now you make me feel more kind. You know, before you And Leia, you are so much better than me, especially you, make me feel like nothing can stop you. Well now, I know North you will make mistakes too, which makes me feel relieved too much."

Even Kronos, who was in a depressed mood, was amused by Maia's words. He said amusedly and angrily: "Maia, am I that strong in your heart?" Nodding without hesitation.

He couldn't help laughing, but after laughing, he felt an indescribable sense of relief. Indeed, isn't he just back to the original point? Back then, he was able to build an investment fund step by step. Of course, there is no reason for him now. If he can't do it, he will definitely make a comeback.

Aglaia, who has always known him best, saw his increasingly determined gaze in his eyes, and showed a gratified smile. She said, "North, how much start-up capital do you need?" , we still follow the old rules, I will lend it to you first, and you will return it to me later, okay?" Kronos looked into Aglaia's eyes, thought for a while, and then agreed with a smile.

While the three siblings of the Donatella family are united to overcome difficulties, Tom in Ontario, Canada, is shooting the first thriller in his life.

Although he claims to be a courageous man, in fact Tom is not very courageous【Note 2】, it's just that in many cases, he will forget his fear because of something valuable enough.

I remember that when he was a child, he was terrified when he saw the great white shark. Later, he watched it completely through his fingers, and since then, he has hated and feared such a terrifying creature as a shark. 【Note 3】

Of course, he would not take the initiative to tell Aglaia about these things, but he also failed to maintain his tall image in front of the girl, because he was scared to cry when he read the script of "Scarlet Mountain" at home Yes, and more than once ╮(╯▽╰)╭[Note 4]...

So Aglaia understood that her boyfriend actually has a very glassy side, and sometimes he is frightened by some nagging things.

For the filming of "Scarlet Mountain", Tom turned into a black-haired bad man again, with shoulder-length black curly hair, a long black lapel trench coat, a black silk vest and a white shirt, and a big black bow tie. Tight, with only less than one centimeter of white edge exposed, wearing the same color trousers and pointed leather shoes, the whole shape reveals a lingering Gothic style. 【Note 5】

Tom, who is tall and has long legs, always looks particularly tall and straight when he is wearing such a long coat. Every time he plays, wherever he walks, it seems to be transformed into a stage in an instant, and he is the center of that stage , is the focus of everyone's attention. For this reason, Jessica Chastain, who plays the siblings with Tom, always teases that Tom even walks with his own aura.

The main filming location of "Scarlet Mountain" was chosen at Dundon Castle located in Hamilton, a famous heavy industrial city in Ontario [Note 6].

This is a private mansion, which was once in decline, but after restoration, it regained its splendor in the nineteenth century and was used as a museum for a long time afterwards.

The castle has an excellent perspective and can directly overlook the entire Hamilton Harbour.

The decorations in the castle are all exquisite, calm and atmospheric wooden furniture, crystal chandeliers, golden carved decorations around the mirror and reliefs on the ceiling, full of charming ancient charm, which is exactly what director Guillermo del Toro chose it s reason.

The author has something to say: I think I really can’t drink, and if I drink, it will cause trouble. Yesterday, a friend I haven’t seen for a long time came to Chengdu to see me. I saw her coming from afar and invited her to dinner. She insisted on ordering wine at the dinner table. With the mentality of being a guest as far away as possible, Mou Bei still had a few drinks with her.

I didn’t go home until after three o’clock after lunch. I took a shower and lay down on the bed with a dizzy head. When I woke up, it was already Sunday morning...

The ancients said that drinking is a mistake, honestly do not deceive me ╮(╯▽╰)╭.

PS: I need to clarify here. In the last chapter, I mentioned that Jennifer is the youngest Oscar queen. An enthusiastic reader pointed out that it is actually wrong. In fact, the youngest Oscar actress in history The queen is Mary Matlin, she is also the only Oscar queen with a disability in history.

It’s also to blame for Bei Bei’s lack of care. I saw a report claiming that Jennifer was the youngest actress, and I didn’t ask for more confirmation, so I wrote it directly in the article. I misled everyone. I’m very sorry.I have modified the relevant parts, and I will try my best to avoid similar situations in the future.Of course, if you find out, you are welcome to point it out for me, I will be very grateful.

PPS: I have to go to the agency on Monday, and I have some things to deal with.Updates need to be paused for a day.Continue Tuesday.

As usual, a welfare photo is attached:
