Chapter 385 Candlelight Dinner

After the end credits of the film came out, there was a burst of warm applause from the audience.

Of course, in addition to satisfaction with the movie, this is also a customary rule of movie premieres - everyone is from this circle and has been invited, so no matter if it is sincere or not, everyone must applaud to show support when the movie ends.

Unless it is a movie that is so bad that one cannot hide one's conscience, or a movie that is so fake that it deceives the audience's feelings and expectations, under normal circumstances, everyone will behave with the proper etiquette and attitude of adults in social situations.

And strictly speaking, the action scenes and production level of "Grave Robber 2" are no worse than the first one. The style is also consistent with the previous work's adventurous action plus humor and comedy, along with some puzzle-solving plots. It is an excellent commercial film that far exceeds the passing standard.

Although the promised kiss scene was the last one that couldn't be any lighter, and one could even say it was a goodbye kiss without much sexual connotation, but at least from this scene, Su Yun really didn't lie, and she really gave us her first screen kiss in this movie.

This alone is already a huge promotional point - the reason why the "Grave Robbers" series has become a huge hit and has gained box office and reputation both in China and abroad is not only because of the subject matter and story, but also partly because of the popularity of the two protagonists, Su Yun and Zhuang Long.

As for "Grave Robber 2", due to the above factors, although the box office may not be as outstanding and stunning as the first one, at least the basic market is stable - perhaps, because of the addition of pleasing the Southeast Asian region and the foundation of the first part, it may even be better than the total box office performance of the first part.

Considering that this movie still has great potential to make money at the box office, everyone naturally applauded even more vigorously.

However, the busy Su Yun did not have time to wait for the box office results of "Grave Robber 2". After the premiere, she hurriedly boarded a plane and went to the United States to start filming the "Batman" movie, for which most of the preliminary preparations had been completed.

When he saw Zha Lan again after many days, he was very gracious and didn't mind that Su Yun had left him alone for a long time. He even took the initiative to greet her warmly.

Hearing that his English was much better than before, Su Yun looked at him with admiration: "Oh, it seems you have been working hard during this period."

"That's natural." The French guy is quite a 2D person at heart, and Zha Lan is a person who works very hard once he sets his goal. So, during this time, he studied almost all the Batman comics and early TV series.

"No wonder I feel so much better..." Su Yun stroked her chin and admired his performance.

"Doesn't it fit Bruceway's image?" Zha Lan asked with an expression of waiting for praise.

"Don't worry, I will prepare an 11cm height-increasing pad for you. Tom just needs it." Su Yun's words ruined the atmosphere.

After all, this is one of her favorite paper men - although Zallan's height of 177cm is definitely not short in his time and now, there is still a big gap compared to Batman's height of 188cm.

Su Yun has very high expectations for this comic-adapted movie, so some people naturally don't care about it for the time being...

After all her hard work, she received such an unromantic response from Su Yun. Zha Lan finally put on a sullen look and temporarily stayed away from Su Yun.

After Zha Lan left, Tom got out of the car and said, "Hi, Mary, long time no see."

"How are you doing lately? I heard that you were under a lot of pressure when you were filming 'The Last Airbender'?" Su Yun asked with concern, looking at Tom who was obviously darker and thinner.

"Fortunately, at the beginning, the pressure was really great." Tom shook his head. "After all, this is my first time playing the leading role in a big production of this level of investment, so I can't help but worry and imagine what will happen after this movie is broadcast."

"This is a risk for you, but it is also an opportunity." Su Yun comforted him, "Believe in yourself, you have done your best."

"After I gradually came to terms with it, I thought the same thing..." Tom smiled sheepishly, "Besides, after the filming, I was still quite confident in my performance and this movie."

"Yeah, I also believe it will become a phenomenal movie." Su Yun, who already knew the answer, smiled and patted his shoulder.

Tom was flattered by Su Yun's praise, but perhaps his self-development during this period made him more experienced and calm than before, and he didn't show his signature Samoyed grin as much.

He felt that he was calm and mature, and had a bit more of the manliness he had always dreamed of. However, Su Yun, who had always had a unique way of thinking, felt sorry that Tom no longer smiled...

Thinking about how much he had to endure in order to film "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Su Yun looked at the schedule and suggested, "There's a good restaurant nearby. Why don't we try it some other day?"

On the one hand, it can fill his own stomach, and on the other hand, it can comfort poor Tom.

Tom readily agreed to Su Yun's "fan invitation": "No problem, I will increase the intensity of my training after I return, and I guarantee it won't have any impact."

Facing Tom's self-conscious attitude towards maintaining his figure, Su Yun, who is from the exploitative class, is very satisfied: "Don't worry, I've brought a team of action coaches from Hong Kong here, so you don't have to worry about eating more, it won't be enough for training."

The visual effects created by Hong Kong's action directors are great, but correspondingly, the training is also very hard...

Tom swallowed, and his previous joy instantly faded a lot.

If I hadn't been able to support Su Yun, I would have lost control of my facial expression and would have shown a tearful face of despair about the future...

News within the crew always spreads quickly. The news that Su Yun and Tom went out for dinner together after filming one day quickly spread throughout the entire crew.

Although the popularity of "The Fault in Our Stars" has passed for a long time, there are still many young people in the crew who have watched the drama and grew up fantasizing about this couple. Although it is not easy for them to express their opinions to the outside media, there are definitely many speculations about the "date" between Su Yun and Tom in private.

Moreover, in their Batman, Su Yun's character and Tom's character are a couple - their reunion after nearly a decade is quite a topic!

As the male lead, Zha Lan has naturally heard a lot of gossip and speculation about the crew whispering and laughing loudly.

However, Zha Lan, who has always been very confident in herself, did not take Tom's "favorable treatment" seriously. The only thing that made her unhappy was that Su Yun had time to ask Tom, a young man with no interest, out for dinner instead of asking herself, a mature man with a lot of interest, out for dinner...

What worries us is not the lack of resources but the inequality of resources. If we are willing to make time, we can do it.

So, after studying his schedule for a while, Zha Lan picked an evening when he could rest and called Su Yun to invite her for dinner. He was much better than young people like Tom. Not only did he prepare a candlelight dinner for this "date (fan)", but he also prepared high-quality red wine himself.

The location was set in the room where he lived - his room was a high-end suite with its own living room and small kitchen, no worse than some boutique apartments, and the environment and atmosphere were particularly good, perfect for a romantic evening...

Looking at the various delicious foods neatly placed on the table, Zha Lan picked up the phone: "Hello, Mary? Do you want to come to my place for dinner tonight?"

"I don't really feel like moving... I'm too tired from filming recently, I want to take a break..." Su Yun said lazily on the other end of the phone.

"I've prepared dishes from the restaurant you wanted to eat at before." That restaurant is particularly popular here. Seats are almost always reserved and reservations are not easy to make. He was able to make reservations and have the food delivered, but it took a lot of effort.

"Really...but..." The temptation of the beloved concubine on the bed was so great that even Su Yun, who had always been very passionate about food, was still hesitant on the other end of the phone.

Su Yun half-closed her eyes and listened to Zha Lan's words of advice on the other end of the phone. Suddenly, she heard the sound of something falling to the ground: "What's wrong?"

"I accidentally dropped the PDA on the table to the ground, and when I tried to catch it, I also dropped the cup..." Zha Lan replied with some regret.

Thinking of this, he changed his words: "Do you want to come and take a look..."

Before he could even finish the words "and let's have dinner together", an urgent response came from the other end of the phone: "Don't move! I'll be there soon!"

Ten minutes later, Zha Lan, who was still a little dazed, was awakened by a hurried knock on the door. She quickly walked over and opened the door.

Without saying a word, Su Yun strode past him, jumped to the ground, picked up the PDA that was in a pitiful state, and examined it carefully.

Time passed by minute by minute, and when Zha Lan, who was so bored that she went to take a shower first, came out wearing a silk bathrobe that looked very smooth and pleasant to the touch, Su Yun was still struggling with the PDA that had fallen to the ground and was soaked in water.

In order to fit Bruce Wayne's playboy persona, during this period of early preparation, in addition to intensively practicing English and American pronunciation, he also temporarily gave up hobbies such as sunbathing and worked hard to cover himself up.

It’s not that Playboy doesn’t have healthy bronze skin, but if your skin is darker, you won’t look good in a Batman costume, and it will also make you look older in the camera - ultraviolet rays, a thing that people love and hate, are a real beauty killer.

Although beauties are beautiful regardless of whether they have dark or white skin, once faced with requirements for a character's personality, most actors are willing to change themselves to meet the needs of the role.

Besides, Su Yun particularly likes the paper man Batman. Zha Lan, who has always been willing to "do whatever it takes" to achieve her goals, naturally puts aside her moral integrity and tries to get as close to the character that Su Yun likes as possible in order to achieve an ending that pleases her.

The only thing that Zha Lan never expected was that Su Yun was not like the average person who would love everyone else. He kept the two-dimensional and three-dimensional worlds separate and didn't seem to be fooled by his little tricks at all...

So Zha Lan, who felt that she had made a great sacrifice but still could not move Su Yun, a kind-hearted guy, was a little annoyed. She poured a glass of red wine and sat aside to drink it in a bad mood, and did not eat the carefully prepared candlelight dinner on the table.

While drinking, he leaned back and took a semi-lying position on the sofa, which was particularly good at showing off his beautiful appearance: he was famous for his ability to take still photos, and no matter which female celebrity he worked with, he could always be as good as her and even often outshine her. The light in the room right now was a dim and yellowish color that was particularly atmospheric and could most captivate people...

As a result, before Zha Lan could finish feeling proud of her perfect pose today, Su Yun, who felt that the light inside was not enough, walked to the wall in two steps and turned on all the lights in the room.

Then - she didn't even glance at Zha Lan, she just ran back to her original position and continued to work with the screwdriver.

Anyone would be angry if they saw this kind of person, let alone Zha Lan who has always been confident about her appearance.

With a cold snort, he continued to half-lie down, looking like he was waiting to see who could outlast the other.

Unfortunately, he was destined to be disappointed this time - the garbage man who was caught in the fight, even if there was a top-notch beauty with a good figure next to him, could not compare to the messy electronic products in their hands...

Zha Lan finished a 750ml bottle of red wine silently. Although she was not very drunk because of her good alcohol tolerance, she could not help herself. She put down the glass in her hand unhappily and shouted out indignantly: "Are you sick? I asked you to come to a candlelight dinner in the middle of the night and you ignored me. As a result, you rushed over to fix this broken PDA in such a hurry?!"

Originally thinking that this was just an excuse Su Yun came up with out of Chinese "restraint", but after discovering that Su Yun really spent the whole night fighting with PDA and didn't even glance at her, Zha Lan couldn't help but get annoyed at Su Yun, a guy with a brain full of nonsense: "What do you think of me?! I asked you to help me fix this 'computer', and you really just came to help me fix the computer?!"

Su Yun, who was busy fixing the PDA, didn't even raise her head: "Do you want me to come over and beat you up first?! Don't you see what a good PDA has become because of you, an electronic idiot?!"
