Chapter 4 — Starlight Summer Night

11But in the end, he still agreed to come with me to meet director Truong to apologize. Thinh Dieu's manager booked a private party in a small, beautiful, artistic space and waited very early. Director Truong and producer were also present. Actually, the company's compensation issue has already been discussed, this time it's mainly to apologize. After all, a great director like Mr. Truong also represents a network of relationships in the industry, which is the power of investors. Although Thinh Dieu is an actor, for many years he has only focused on acting and has hardly participated in any investments. If he can't keep this bowl of rice, he will probably be truly unemployed. In the entertainment industry, if you stay quiet for a year or two, your name will soon be forgotten. Thinh Dieu kept drinking and apologizing, gradually director Truong's face softened. He raised his glass and replied: "You young men work without thinking. Your compensation is actually not much, take it as a lesson. Since you're an emperor, you have to be more careful in your work in the future." The feeling of pressure being placed on your body is truly unpleasant. Thinh Dieu nodded repeatedly, then asked: "So this movie will now change people to return, or what?" The producer waved his hand: "I've asked a few actresses, but no one has a schedule. We'll have to slowly find someone and put the movie on next year's holiday screening. What a pity..." I mentally rolled my eyes. It is said that Tan Diep Tu's side had to pay a large amount of compensation for breach of contract. These two old men already have the money, the movie hasn't been completely canceled yet, so what's there to regret? Thinh Dieu's manager also shook his head in agreement: "If we can borrow the attention from this scandal to finish filming and air it, the audience will definitely be larger." I finally understood, it turns out they were sorry there. At this moment, director Truong noticed me, who had been silent from the beginning. "Thinh Dieu, is your wife a flight attendant?" "Ah." I was suddenly called, so I only had time to respond and nodded. Director Truong's eyes suddenly lit up: "This movie of ours is called 'The People's Captain', the female lead is a flight attendant. If you participate, wouldn't you be acting like yourself?" 12 “Me?” I pointed at myself, thinking he was joking. I quickly waved my hand: "No, no director. I've never acted before, and I still have to go to work." Director Truong continued: "Your image is very suitable, you don't need much professional training, just a little acting practice. If you agree to participate..." He looked at me and Thinh Dieu: "Then Thinh Dieu's role does not need to be replaced." I started to feel moved and asked: "What about the compensation? Is it no longer necessary to pay it?" Director Truong and the producer burst out laughing when they heard my question. What are you laughing at? In the entertainment industry, costs are calculated in millions to tens of millions, even though the company pays, Thinh Dieu is a shareholder. I also plan to use the year-end dividend money to buy a house. Thinh Dieu saw me silent, thinking I didn't want to, so he said: "My wife, she..." "Okay, I'll try!" I interrupted him and definitely agreed. We set up an audition time. I think even though I'm on vacation, I should still report this matter to the company first. After discussion, the company not only agreed but was extremely supportive. The president personally called me: "Tieu To, if you participate in acting, our airline will invest in this movie. In the future, you will be the face and image representative of the company, no need to fly everywhere anymore." There's still such a good thing, if only I can pass the audition! I happily agreed and pulled Thinh Dieu out that night

Let me teach you how to act. Thinh Dieu looked at me meaningfully: "We seem to have an intimate scene, let's try to act out that scene first." But I was engrossed in learning how to play the role, not paying attention to him. 13On the audition day, I performed very well. Maybe it's because my co-star is Thinh Dieu. He plays my lover and also makes a cameo in the last scene. The film tells the story of people working in the aviation industry in the 1980s, the journey of a military pilot becoming a civil aviation captain. I play one of the first flight attendants. The final scene of the film is a dramatic airline accident. The captain used his outstanding skills to neutralize the danger and save the lives of all passengers. The last scene is me, after escaping death, hugging my lover tightly in the lobby. Thinh Dieu put aside all her work to be with me in the film crew, practicing acting with me every day. Thanks to that, my skills improved dramatically. Even the actor playing the captain couldn't stop praising him: "The acting is much better than Tan Diep Tu. If I had let To Van play from the beginning, I wouldn't have had to re-shoot so many scenes." The cost of reshooting their scene was of course paid by Tan Diep Tu. When he learned that I had replaced her role, Tan Diep Tu caused chaos in the whole film crew. "To Van, you not only stole Thinh Dieu brother from me, you also stole my role. Why do you always like to steal other people's things?" Me: "??" Thinh Dieu pulled me behind him and said coldly: "Tan Diep Tu, I don't understand what I did to make you misunderstand. If anything, I'm sorry." Tears immediately filled Tan Diep Tu's eyes. She stepped forward to hold his hand. "Thinh Dieu, you always treat me very well. Both in the movie and in real life, you care for me. I really like you." Thinh Dieu, startled, took a step back and replied: "What do you like about me? I will fix it right away." Tan Diep Tu was mad, crying and demanding to see the director. Director Truong tried to chase her away, his face full of disgust: "I just hope you no longer have anything to do with this movie." 14The filming progress was very urgent because we had to make up for missing scenes, almost wherever we filmed it was broadcast. Unexpectedly, the first episode received a lot of positive feedback. [Isn't this the wife of movie emperor Thinh Dieu?] [Turns out she's also an actress.] [It looks really beautiful.] [The real couple's love performance is really great, I'm looking forward to their confrontation scene!] It's true that the more famous a person is, the more controversy they have. Our airline took this opportunity to promote and even sponsor the airline in the movie. Not only is the movie hot, but the company is also popular and its reputation has increased significantly. The president was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth and told me to film the final episode well. Late at night, after finishing work, I saw Thinh Dieu go back to the hotel to sleep first because there was a scene early tomorrow morning. I sighed, as expected, any job is not easy. The whole crew had been reeling for two months straight, everyone was exhausted. Seeing my assistant sleeping in the waiting tent, I didn't have the heart to wake him up, so I walked towards my own car. Unexpectedly, Tan Diep Tu suddenly appeared from the darkness, holding a liquid of unknown origin. I panicked and quickly raised my hand to stop her: "You... if you do that you'll go to jail!" Tan Diep Tu shouted like a madman: "The company has lost a lot of compensation money, and even intends to freeze me, Thinh Dieu brother doesn't even look at me. You destroyed me, what do I care about anymore?" I stepped back while looking for a place to hide: “But… but you still exist

there are many fans. You have to think about them too, they protect you so wholeheartedly.” Hearing about fans, Tan Diep Tu paused for a moment. But right after that, her eyes turned cold: “This movie is mine! You destroyed me, I will destroy you too. I can't do it, so don't you dare do it!” 15Tan Diep Tu was excited and raised his hand to splash the liquid at me. I panicked and hid behind a car that had turned off the engine, but she still rushed towards me. Tan Diep Tu's newly made nails scratched my face, and I immediately felt my cheeks go cold. At that moment, Thinh Dieu came to pick me up after work. He panicked and rushed to hold her tightly. At this time, the film crew's security team could run over. "Ugh, it hurts so much! Husband, am I ruined?" Thinh Dieu immediately took me to the hospital at night to treat the wound, his eyes full of self-blame: "It's all my fault, I got caught up in all these troubles and got injured." The doctor immediately reassured after disinfection: "It's okay, it's just a small wound, it won't leave a scar." The deputy director came later and breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that: “It's okay. Tan Diep Tu has been taken away.” Right after that, Thinh Dieu posted a post on Weibo: [For acts that seriously damage my family's personal safety, I will definitely pursue responsibility to the end.] But the wound on my face still needs time to recover, while the final scenes of the movie cannot be delayed. Director Truong thought for a while, then stayed up all night editing the script. When it aired, the final scene was changed to show me, with a wounded face and wet eyes, hugging Thinh Dieu in the waiting room. I choked up and said: "It's great to be alive!"16After being broadcast, the movie received very good feedback, director Truong wanted to take this opportunity to produce another movie. But Thinh Dieu and I had just escaped from stressful days, which were really tiring. We decided to travel around the world, enjoying the time we never had the chance to spend together for the past two years. During the trip, news about Tan Diep Tu continuously appeared. In addition to announcing the incident of her intentionally causing injury, the authorities conducted a comprehensive inspection of her and her management company. Unexpectedly, I found out that she was involved in serious tax problems. I sat drinking coffee in the ski hotel lobby, listening to Thinh Dieu tell the behind-the-scenes stories he knew, and couldn't help but sigh: "Earning so much money without paying taxes properly, you deserve to be banned from broadcasting!" Thinh Dieu shook his head and sighed: "Not only will you be banned from broadcasting, you may even have to go to jail." I smiled mischievously: "What, are you feeling sorry for your 'little sister Diep Tu'?" Thinh Dieu looked disgusted: "Stop talking, it's so unlucky!" It's true that she's really unlucky, even the fans who once defended her no longer speak up. But we are much luckier. [Ding!] I received compensation from the company, along with payroll details and a fully paid tax report. My mood is extremely good. Not only luck, but also money. As the Christmas season approaches, everywhere in Europe is filled with a festive atmosphere. I put down my coffee cup and hugged Thinh Dieu: "Let's go skiing. After skiing, go shopping." I want to buy bags, buy shoes, buy necklaces!”“Buy!”
