will find showing something new for you. But for which film will be shown exactly on schedule, I can not vouch, this is in charge of the projectionist.”
Was it the creature in the red robe that scared him? Daniel shivered unpleasantly, as if feeling the touch of black claws again. It is better not to look around and not to look for traces of a disgusting-looking creature.
“And the films are stored on reels, or digital cinema projectors are already installed here, or even some more modern and sophisticated technology than I know. Some new cinema equipment and stereos are not being tested here?”
“How did you decide?”
“The effect is too stunning. I’ve never experienced anything like this before.”
“You just went to films only with your own participation and only because agents and managers forced you to attend premieres.”
How did she know? Alais did not see the contracts he signed, but spoke about the clauses of the contract with greater knowledge than the lawyer who viewed them.
“But I loved watching different films before I started filming myself.” Daniel tried to smooth out the awkwardness.
“And I like to create works of art myself more than to view what others have created.”
“And what art do you do?”
“Why are you so curious?”
“I just thought…” He was embarrassed to even say it out loud. What he dreamed of became too desirable. “We will have tests soon.”
“And you thought that I would stoop to act in films. With common people? Defile in front of the camera, probably even undress in front of the camera, as is usually done only on the panel, grimace like a monkey and obey the director’s commands?”
“I don’t know which royal family you are from, but my family was also ancient and noble, but I have sunk to that.”
“You wanted to become famous, to become a star. You can be understood. In addition, your noble family has long ago thrown their fortune into the wind. Ruin and want lead people to do many things that you would not do in the days of wealth and prosperity.”
She spoke like this, she has whole cellars here bursting with gold bars. Her wicked words touched him to the quick, but he did not pretend that he was offended.
“Have you never dreamed of becoming a star? In adolescence, for example, almost everyone dreams of this.”
“I’m already a star!” She proclaimed calmly. “For everyone who sees me. And I don’t have to do films for guys like you to faint when I show up.”
In this she was one hundred percent right. As soon as he saw her, he seemed to be burned. Even fire cannot burn as much as painful admiration for some object.
Well, Alais knew how to assess herself objectively without pluses and without minuses. If she gives the same assessment to all other people, then her business should flourish, and no partners or businessmen will do it. Although why did he decide that the cinema is her business center? It is unlikely that she owns it or is the organizer of events here. She just lives here until someone kicks her out. Probably, the cinema belongs to her parents or some relatives, who allow her and her company to gather here until the building is used for other purposes. Naturally, all this will end as soon as Alais is sent to study at some prestigious university, as is customary in wealthy families. It is unlikely to go to an ordinary college, most likely to a university, institute, academy, or generally a closed privileged boarding school. In any case, he will not see her again. The thought sank painfully at the thought.
