Chapter 202: The Premiere
Liszt found Sidney backstage, and Sidney was huddled on a small round stool with her hands and knees, her eyes were hollow and her body was trembling, and her pitiful appearance was distressing.
"Liszt, what's wrong with her?" Bella followed Liszt backstage and was shocked when she saw Sidney like this, how could a person who was still in high spirits on the stage suddenly become like this.
Liszt shook his head as he walked over and took off: "I don't know, it looks like I've been frightened." ”
Sidney...... Sidney, are you alright?"
"Hey, who are you two, why haven't I seen you?"
Liszt stretched out to soothe Sidney's hand and was slapped away by a big boy, and then hugged Sidney hard, Sidney had no intention of resisting and put her arms around the big man's neck, tears streaming down the corners of her eyes.
The big man gently patted Sidney's back and coaxed the child: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, everything is over......"
……
"I'm sorry Liszt, I just lost my temper."
Sidney, who had calmed down, realized that she Liszt had arrived.
"It's okay, this is your boyfriend, hello, I'm Liszt."
Liszt took the initiative to stretch out his right hand to the big boy, the eyes that looked at him were always vigilant, Liszt suspected that he might have a misunderstanding about himself, it was better to clarify it earlier, he didn't want to be like in a romance drama, a misunderstanding can drag on from the play to the end of the play or even longer.
"Derek. I've heard Sidney mention you, the ghost record is very good, I admit it really scared me when I was in the cinema, it was great!"
The big man, that is, Sidney's boyfriend Derek, thought of the previous move of opening Liszt's hand, and realized that he might have thought too much, and he didn't know how to explain it, but fortunately, because the ghost recording was popular, he remembered the young Chinese director Sidney mentioned several times, Liszt, otherwise it might be embarrassing.
"Who is this?"
Sidney looked at Bella behind Liszt.
"My girlfriend, Isabella Swan, Bella this is Sidney, our previous collaboration was great."
Sidney and Bella quickly became familiar with each other, and Liszt was also relieved to see this, and at the same time laughed at himself in his heart, he racked his brains to explain in front of Bei before, whether he was playing too much, it seems that Sidney didn't mean anything interesting to him.
Of course, it is not better, Liszt, who is much more relaxed, even feels much more pleasing to the eye when he looks at Drake.
"Sidney, you take a break first, the other students continue to rehearse, Drake and these two...... Sidney's friend, right, talk to Sidney, Sidney's cheers!"
The old professor drove away the other students of the drama club who came to care about Sidney for rehearsal, and carefully explained the few who remained, and it didn't seem strange to see Sidney's strange appearance.
"I'm sorry Professor, I ...... I may need some more time. Sidney felt guilty that the professor believed in her so much.
"I really think you're very talented, so promise me not to give up." The professor seemed to have something to say, but he didn't say it, and with a nod from Drake and Liszt, he went out to see the rehearsal.
"You thought about that again, didn't you? It's all gone, dear. Drake kissed Sidney's forehead with a snort.
Sidney was not embarrassed, she kissed back directly, treating Liszt and Bella as air, and the atmosphere was inexplicably ......
"Who doesn't have a girlfriend, Bella, come and ...... Sizzle~"
……
"So, Sidney was like that during rehearsals because she thought about the murder in her hometown? It's all true?"
In the evening in an express hotel outside Windsor College, Bella and Liszt lay in bed and chatted after taking a shower.
Bella was wearing pajamas, holding a book, her head resting on Liszt's chest, and looking at it with relish, and the title of the book on the cover was none other than "The Killing".
"It's true, I did it when I was in San Francisco, and I reported it on the news, so you should have seen it."
Bella flipped the page: "I thought those reporters were exaggerating the facts, don't you think Sidney's ex-boyfriend who wanted to kill her is too inexplicable?" He hated Sidney's mother for killing so many classmates, and his accomplices even killed his own girlfriend, which doesn't seem real no matter how you look at it. "Love the Book House
"Reality is crueler than movies."
Liszt wanted to say this to Bella, if nothing else, just the vampires she came into contact with, the humans who served the vampires as the main ones, did all the things that were inhumane in order to curry favor with their vampire masters.
"Those two guys are mentally ill, but if the police in that town had been a little more professional, they wouldn't have killed so many people. That kind of person is in Fox, don't think you can kill a second person, the police never carry a gun, the happiest one dies the fastest, and the next second she dies after she has a relationship, and the virgin lives to the end......"
"Why do I feel like you're not picking on the mistakes of that case, but complaining about horror movies?"
Liszt's inner OS: You got it right.
Bella read the book for a while, and suddenly said: "Liszt, what are you going to shoot in your next film?" That one...... Woman...... Have you found that actor, I see that many people at Windsor College are studying acting, and we can recruit actors here......"
Liszt smiled dumbly, Bella wants to be the heroine of his director Li Da?
"I have some ideas for the next play, but the actors who don't play are basically some age, and the requirements for acting skills are relatively high, and the students in the school can't take these roles."
"Oh......"
On Friday, "Killing" premiered, in fact, before that, Killing had been screened in more than a dozen theaters in California, that is, on point, and the response was very good, which made the production company increase its investment in publicity, although the premiere was not star-studded, but there were also many stars who participated.
Next to the ticket office of the theater is selling movie peripherals, and the killing has chosen a good schedule, and there are no blockbusters to look forward to during this time, so killing a movie occupies half of the country.
Outside, there are all book lovers dressed in black robes, wearing white masks with exaggerated mouths, and holding colorful daggers and glow sticks in their hands to play the killer...... After that, I will also become a movie fan.
Liszt also bought two sets with Bella, and he didn't know any of the stars introduced by the host.
There is no way that the Hollywood stars he knew before are mostly gang bosses, farmers, policemen, mercenaries, killers, agents, FBIs, and even superheroes in this world, as for stars, it seems that most of the stars in movies are just actors and not stars, right?
Bella, who was sitting next to Liszt, was like the rest of the audience, and when the familiar names came out of the host's mouth, she immediately let out a deafening cheer.
Three times later, even Liszt was applauded and screamed by the atmosphere of the scene, in fact, he was not even interested in the owners of these names to take a look: at this time, if the name of Scarlett Johansson was announced, he might be able to rush to the red carpet to ask for a group photo.
Bella shouted twice, probably choking too hard, blushing at Liszt, and even more embarrassed to see Liszt also looking at her and laughing.
"Sit down and take a break, would you like some Coke?"
On Liszt's lap, a large bucket of popcorn and two glasses of Coke without a straw.
"Wait a minute, I'm going to wait until the movie starts before eating, will Sidney go up and meet with the creator?"
"Probably not, today's protagonist is not her."
Sure enough, Sidney soon came with Drake, but her face wasn't very good.
"Is Sidney alright, is she unwell?"
Liszt asked Sidney with concern, but looked at Drake again without a reply.
"It's okay Liszt, it was just an accident last time, obviously it was almost well before, I haven't dreamed of a mask killer for three months...... I may just not have a good rest, let's watch a movie. ”
Sidney actually regretted agreeing to attend the premiere at this time.
It's been a long time since Sidney returned from San Francisco like yesterday, or she wouldn't have agreed to attend the premiere.
She thought she could face the past and face up to the movie that was not adapted, but the truth didn't seem to be what she thought.
Just like just now, she should have come in early, but when she arrived at the door of the theater, she looked at the posters outside, the black robes and masks around the door, and the dagger-style glow sticks, which made her think of the pervert who stabbed her in the heart with a sharp knife and talked to her about the plot of a horror movie.
That is, there are many people in the theater, and there is Drake by her side, otherwise she would really do something to escape.
After the appearance of the main creative team and the speech of the producer, all the lights were finally turned off on the spot, and the movie was officially released.
