Chapter 21: Beauty Scheming

Christmas is coming as scheduled, and Jerry Towne, who writes, acts, and also serves as a producer, also gives himself a few days off on the occasion of Christmas.

Since the beginning of filming, Mira has been with him at first, acting as his makeup artist and personal assistant.

However, as Jerry and Gwyneth grow closer, Mira seems a little angry, to be precise, she is jealous.

So Mira disappeared from their sight and spent the whole day reading books in the apartment, teaching herself about acting books and physical training.

Jerry knew that Mira was uncomfortable, but in order to make a good film, even if Mila had grievances against him, Jerry still insisted on his decision, if he wanted to make a good drama film, there must be emotional interaction between the male and female leads, and the so-called "passionate interpretation" came from this.

Essentially, Jerry Towne, who is much more mentally mature than his actual age, has always put his acting career first, at least for now.

He has longed for success in his acting career for too long, to the point of being a human being in two lifetimes.

In his previous life, he didn't have the right time and place, so he struggled for more than ten years, and he was still a dispensable marginal role, but when his acting career was really smooth, his life had come to an end.

By mistake, he was given a chance to do it all over again.

Jerry Donn has the physical gifts and wealth he could only dream of, so he can't wait to taste the success he never had in his previous life.

Therefore, for him, his love life is ranked after his career, and when he dreams back at midnight, he even feels that his current love life is a bit extravagant, very unreal, and it will be broken like a bubble.

Perhaps, this is directly related to the failed relationship that he was ruthlessly abandoned by his first girlfriend in his previous life.

But whether it's extravagant or dreamy, Jerry wants to take advantage of the Christmas holiday to spend more time with Mira, and it's impossible to predict how far each other can go in the future, but it's imperative to cherish the people in front of you.

On Christmas Eve.

When Jerry returned to the apartment, it was already evening, and he had prepared a romantic candlelight dinner for Mira, but as soon as he pushed the door open, he was hugged by a pair of lotus arms around his neck, and then Mira jumped forward, a pair of long legs wrapped around his waist, and wrapped around him like a koala.

Before Jerry could speak, he was instantly wrapped in Mira's sweet cherry lips.

The other party has already set up the carriage and horses, Jerry will naturally not retreat from the battle, and it is the true nature of a man to face it head-on.

A hearty battle is like a fierce competition.

The preliminary round was followed by the semi-finals, and after the semi-finals, the more tragic the battle became, and the whole game began in the evening and lasted until 2 o'clock in the middle of the night.

Jerry wanted to play overtime after the final, but Mila admitted defeat and begged for mercy at the end of the semifinals, of course Jerry would not let her go easily, but he didn't expect Mila to faint directly, leaving him to fall into a deep sleep alone, and slept sweetly!

Leaving a murderous Jerry, staring blankly at the ceiling, messy in his midnight dreams......

…………

After breakfast, Jerry drove Mila to the Los Angeles branch of the California Institute of the Arts to spend the holidays with his mother.

Before the age of eighteen, her mother, Sally, would rush to the Old Towne Manor in New York every year before Christmas to spend a happy holiday with Jerry.

Now that Jerry is an adult, he called his mother three days ago and is coming to spend Christmas with her.

In the dusty memory, there was a great mother, who worked hard for most of his life to raise him, but he failed to let his mother live a stable and comfortable life, and when his mother died in a car accident, he woke up, but he regretted it.

This regret is deeply imprinted in Jerry's heart, although things are wrong now, but this obsession has not faded with the passage of time, but has become more and more intense.

So he wants to make up for his regrets in Sally's mother, not only to be by his mother's side this Christmas, but also to spend every Christmas with his mother as long as there are no special circumstances in the future.

"Baby, it's Christmas, and you still have a book with you when you go out?"

While driving, Jerry saw that Mila next to him was holding a book again, and asked with a smile, "Mila, why didn't I find out that you like to read before?"

Mira, who is becoming more and more delicate, folded the corners under the page, closed it gently, and said with a sweet smile: "I like to read books since I was a child, but I have been running around with my mother, so I don't have much time to read and study, in fact, I really have very little time to go to school, I haven't finished high school, and the reason why I am engaged in catwalks and film and television performances is also because I have participated in stage performance training classes." ”

Mira had never said these things to anyone, and even though many people knew about her learning experience, she hadn't mentioned her past life to Jerry before, but now Mira was willing to share her secrets with Jerry, and, speaking very calmly, Jerry patted her hand and gave her a reassuring look.

Jerry knows that Mira can tell her past in person, which means that her heart has been opened to herself, and it is not a good thing to confide in the past that she has suppressed in her heart to someone she trusts.

In fact, Jerry himself needs to confide in this kind of confession, because he has too many secrets hidden in his heart, but unfortunately his secrets are destined to be buried in the bottom of his heart forever, and opening his heart is an extremely luxurious and impossible thing for him to achieve.

In a way, Jerry envies Mira because she can talk about the past without reservation, and she will never have someone to talk to in her life.

So Jerry didn't interject and listened intently while driving.

Jerry's eyes gave Mira great encouragement, she smiled sweetly, and the more and more white and tender cheeks naturally revealed a seductive charm, Jerry's breathing accelerated, and the eyes that looked at Mira were eager, if it weren't for the conditions, I am afraid that the war that was extinguished in the early hours of the morning would be revived.

After seeing Jerry's murderous eyes, Mira glanced at his lower abdomen, her beautiful eyes were full of smugness and provocation, and her smile became sweeter and sweeter, and in Jerry's eyes, it was a seductive look.

Mira knew that the men around her were extremely poor, but they were talented in this area, and they lacked self-control, so she didn't dare to set herself on fire again, and continued: "Now that my life with my mother has finally settled down, I originally wanted to concentrate on being a film actor, but after seeing you and Gwyneth's performance on the set, I feel that there is a big gap between me and her, and my acting skills are all explored by myself, that is, the wild way, many basic moves are not in place, and the sense of the camera is not good."

I don't think my acting skills are inferior to Gwynnie, both in terms of body appearance and image temperament, she is more photogenic than her, but in terms of basic acting skills, I have to admit that Gwyneth is indeed much better than me.

In the past, I didn't have the opportunity to read and study, but now that I have you by my side, I feel that my life has something to rely on, so I have to seize the time to learn more knowledge and make myself stronger, otherwise the gap between me and you will get bigger and bigger, and sooner or later I will fall behind. ”

After hearing this, Jerry shook his head and said that he would not abandon her, and at the same time, he secretly admired in his heart that Mira was really smart and a very attractive woman!

Although she is only 20 years old, Mira, who performed on stage at the age of nine, has been honed for more than ten years, so that she has a wealth of experience and experience far beyond her peers, and her mind is very mature, she has a clear judgment of her own strengths and weaknesses, and she knows where she wants to work hard.

Thinking of this, Jerry suddenly realized, and asked with a smile, "What are your plans after the filming of this movie?"

"What do you think of me going to study in the art branch system for a while?" Mira smiled happily, a hint of cunning flashed in her beautiful eyes, "Honey, I would like to ask for your opinion, if I go to the film and television production department to study professional acting, will it affect your next work plan?"

Jerry smiled and shook his head, knowing in his heart: Dare to say so much to you, play the emotional card, it turns out that you are waiting for me here.

"What a cunning little goblin!"

Sighing secretly, Jerry smiled and said, "Baby, I can really help with this, it just so happens that we are on the way to the Church of the University, today you behave well in front of Lady Sally, and I will tell her about your admission to the school in the evening, so a two-pronged approach, I don't think my mother will refuse you as a good student." ”

As he spoke, Jerry patted his forehead, "Oh! I've been working too hard lately, and my memory is not very good, if I'm not mistaken, Lady Sally is also my mother, and she is not only a professor in the Department of Film and Television Production, but also seems to be the associate dean in charge of theater performance and film and television production. ”

"So you said yes, that's great, Jerry, I love you!" said Mira with a smile, and after saying that, she leaned sideways and kissed Jerry on the cheek, leaving a striking pink brand.

Jerry shook his head helplessly, then rubbed his face and wiped his lip prints off, if she didn't see her mother later, she would definitely feel that she was not stable enough, and it was inevitable to say something.

Mira took his arm intimately and said softly, "Jerry, there's something I've always wanted to say, but I don't know whether to ask or not. ”

"Ask, or you'll suffocate my Mila baby. Jerry said with a smile.

Mila listened to the beautiful curve of the corners of her mouth and asked, "Why don't you and your mother live together......?" Is there a misunderstanding?"

Jerry shook his head and said, "I knew you would ask me and my mother sooner or later, and you wanted to ask when you moved, right?

The matter is actually very simple, my mother is a vegetarian and conservative, and my father passed away early, she and my grandfather had a serious disagreement over my custody, and she did not hesitate to sue the court in order to fight for my custody.

As a result, it turned out that my grandfather was one of the few remaining veterans of the Democratic Party since World War II, and the court naturally awarded custody of me to my grandfather.

Not only that, but my grandfather was also a patriarch with the characteristics of the Eastern Celestial Empire.

In order to ensure that I was not disturbed by external forces in my upbringing, he gave my mother two choices: one was that she could remarry and start a family again, provided that she completely gave up my custody rights, including the abolition of visitation rights; ”
