Female Novel
Chapter 220 We Are Friends Now (Part One)
A week later, the shooting of director Li's play was finished on time. Melissa finally finished the role ofLara. It took more than a month, and the shooting part was finished. The rest was post production,mending or dubbing. Besides, after the shooting of the whole crew was finished, she had to cooperatewith the crew to attend the promotion of each scene.novelbin
Melissa was the number three actress in the play. Although she had a lot of scenes, because of thecare of Colin, the director shoot for her first after the shooting of the main characters and big shots, soshe finished it faster than other actors. After she left the crew, the whole play might need to shoot fortwo months to finish. Therefore, the promotion period and dubbing would be held two months later.During this period, Melissa felt much more relaxed.
In her schedule, director Li's play took up the most time and was also the most difficult one for her toact. The remaining plays directed by Billy were very few. There was another urban love drama,although it was also a female supporting role, because she didn't have to fly around with the wire, nordid she need to learn martial arts from the martial arts teacher, it would be easy to shoot. In addition,she had a new TV series of Republic of China, which was suggested by Eric. Eric said that aftershooting a movie of director Billy, the shooting of the Republic of China TV series could go deep intothe audience's impression of her, or they would always be unable to get a deep impression of her. Andshe would not have a complete location, so Eric was afraid that the audience couldn't remember her.She could take advantage of director Billy's performance to strengthen it in the Republic of China's TVseries first, and then extend it to other movies, so she accepted it.
In Melissa's opinion, Eric's words were quite credible. After all, he had been in the entertainment circlefor so many years, and he must have his unique vision and judgment to achieve this position.
The second night after the completion of Lara's role was the charity dinner mentioned by Zack. It wasnot as coincident as it was. She had just finished the most important part of the play, which made herrelax a lot, so she had the energy to deal with the charity dinner.
The charity party was very grand. Many stars would come. It was the first time that Melissa walked onthe red carpet since she came back. Because of her recent popularity, everyone would pay attention toher, so she was very cautious about attending this party. She was afraid that she would make amistake and make the media laugh at her. She had to think carefully about the donated supplies andthe dress that night.
Unfortunately, because she had raised medical fees for her father last time, Melissa had sold all thevaluable things in her house. Although Colin had given her some more, they were the crystallization oftheir love, so of course she didn't dare to sell them. So she thought it over and didn't know what todonate.
Coincidentally, Colin called her. Colin was on a business trip these days, so he could only call her fromtime to time. "I heard that you are going to attend a charity dinner tonight?"
"Yes, it's the annual charity dinner of stars. It's very grand. I'm wondering what I should donate."
"Are you going to donate the things I gave you?"
"How is that possible?" Melissa denied immediately. Although she had sold all the things that Colingave her in the past, they were not glorious to her, so it was not a pity to sell them. But after they fell inlove, the meaning of his new gifts to her were different. How could she sell it?
Hearing this, Colin was satisfied, but he still asked her, "Then what do you want to donate? Do youneed me to call the company's financial department to send you a check of one million and let you todonate it tonight? "
"Swoosh... How could I ask for your money?" Melissa sneered. That one million is not my money. I canat most donate it for you, but it will never be in my name. I will figure it out myself. "
"Are we still going to be that clear? You will be mine sooner or later, Mrs. Ling! " Colin teased her withthis appellation.
Melissa shook her hand showed her disagree. "Mrs. Ling is your mother! Anyway, don't get involved inmy business. I'll figure it out myself. At the worst, I will donate all the payment for the past threemonths, which is more than one hundred thousand. "
With this in mind, Melissa came up with an idea. She didn't have to donate jewelry for the auction likeother stars. It was not bad to donate real money. She had made more than one hundred thousanddollars for the movie and advertising endorsement this month. She could donate it all.
Being a star sometimes was quite poor. Although she made a lot of money, she also spent a lot ofmoney, because she had to buy a lot of clothes, jewelry, cosmetics and maintenance products. Justthis time, for the charity dinner, Melissa spent tens of thousands of dollars from clothes to jewelry. If shewent out for a walk, those things would be scrapped. She couldn't wear them for the second time in thefuture. She could only wait to give them to others or ask the company to sell them out.
However, no matter how poor she was, she was still unwilling to ask Colin for a penny. This was amatter of dignity. At the same time, no matter how poor she was, she had to donate, and she couldn'tdonate less, because she was a star, a celebrity. A celebrity should set an example, otherwise howcould she attract other people's attention to charity? That was what her parents taught her since shewas a child.
After chatting with Colin for a while, Colin asked, "What do you want to wear tonight? Didn't I order aChinese dress for you before I left? How about that one? You look very beautiful in it, just like agoddess. Let everyone know that my woman is really beautiful! "
"Do you want me to tell everyone clearly that I have a powerful background? It is not long since Istarted my career, I could wear an evening dress designed by a famous designer in Italy. It is
handmade and worth millions. Who will believe that I am so rich? So this is an excuse for everyone totalk about me."
"Can't my woman show off her wealth? I like to see you dressing up noble and beautiful, and thisevening dress is really tailor-made for you to walk the red carpet this time... "
"Thank you, Mr. Colin!" Before Colin could finish his words, Melissa refused, "But I have my own way ofdoing things. Anyway, you don't have to worry about it!"
"Self-contained!" Colin scolded her, but he didn't force her. He just said, "I'll be back tonight. Maybe Ican go to the party to see you!"
"Well, I see. If there is nothing else, I will hang up. You have called me several times a day. You arereally free!" Then Melissa hung up the phone in the laughter of Colin.
After taking a deep breath, Melissa went to the wardrobe to look for clothes. After looking at the severalevening dresses recommended by the stylist, she finally chose a relatively low-key white fishtailevening dress, which was noble and not easy to make mistakes. The most taboo to wear clothes onthe red carpet was to be too exaggerated and shocking. Melissa didn't want to be outstanding, herattitude was absolutely not to be laughed at. Of course, her hair was in a traditional place, with platinuminlaid crystal earrings, necklace of the same style, flower ring, and a middle grade designer handbag.This would not be too exaggerated or too shabby.
