Chapter 1078: blockbusters
In the corner of the self-built tiled house stood a slender, clean-cut male figure.
A small boy ran up and triggered a rubber cannon and dropped it at Nico’s feet with a bang.
While the children covered their little mouths and laughed at having played a prank on the adults, Nico remained impassive, watching the pair not far away.
This is not the first time the child has seen Nico. Last New Year’s Eve, the boy also threw a rubbing gun at Nico’s feet and Nico became enraged and made a move to grab him by the neck.
The boy was frustrated at Nico’s indifference at the time.
“Bad uncle, why aren’t you angry?”
“Do you want me to hit you?” asked Nico, his face expressionless.
The boy growled, “Now Miss Micaela is with another man and you can’t be seen hitting me, so why are you playing nice?”
Nico growled indifferently with a scowl, “I’m not in the mood to beat you up, but you can try to piss me off now if you want to get crippled.”
Still scared at hearing about the cripple, but pretending to be calm and not wanting to lose his temper, the boy followed Nico’s gaze to the man and woman standing next to the car not far away and said, “Hmph, I told you, a fairy as beautiful as Miss Michaela wouldn’t marry a bad person like you who specializes in bullying children.”
Nico growled too, with sneering eyes, “You think that dog man is good?”.
“He’s better than you anyway!”
“Stupid.” I don’t know if I’m scolding the boy, or Dario Cepeda, or both.
The boy looked at him alone and bristled, “Coward, you don’t even dare to approach Miss Micaela, the stupid one is you.”
Nico frowned, slightly impatient, “Go play, boy, if you mess with me again, I’ll beat you up, believe it or not.”
The boy didn’t pull away, he grabbed his arms and grimaced as he did, “You really like Miss Micaela, don’t you? Miss Micaela is very pretty, Miss Micaela will soon be taken from you if you don’t fight to try. ”
“Didn’t your mother teach you that children should mind their own business when it comes to adults?” Nico didn’t care much for the brat.
“You’re the kid, if I liked a girl I’d be quick to tell her not to be with someone else, I’m not useless like you.”
“Hmph, you’re useful, you don’t know shit.” Nico mocked him.
The boy got angry and threw another rubbing cannon at his feet with a thud, a noise so loud that even Micaela and Dario Cepeda, who were around, couldn’t help but stare.
Nico moved quickly to avoid the wall all at once.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
Micaela saw the boy and called to him from a distance, “Madelynn, it’s late and you’re not home yet, your mother is going to scold you later.”
Madelynn looked at Nico on the wall and then tilted her little head towards Micaela, who was there, “Miss Micaela, I’ll be right back, have a nice date with your big brother!”.
Micaela froze, speechless for a moment at Madelynn’s comment, and couldn’t help but laugh.
Madelynn turned and ran off after making a big face at Nico at the base of the wall.
Micaela, seeing that it was getting late, said to Dario Cepeda, “Thanks for coming to see me, but it’s getting late, so come back.”
Dario Cepeda was in no hurry, with Micaela he knew he could not force her. “Ok, you come back first, I’ll walk you back to the house and leave.”
Micaela smiled faintly, said nothing, waved to him and turned towards the entrance of the alley.
Dario Cepeda was watching her.
Micaela was almost at the door when Madelynn came speeding through the snow, losing her balance and crashing into her.
Micaela reached out to help the girl, “Madelynn, why aren’t you home yet?”.
Madelynn looked at Micaela and said, “Miss Micaela, there’s a fool waiting for you at the entrance to town!”
Micaela froze and seemed to realize what was happening and rushed towards the entrance of the village.
But when she arrived with Madelynn, all that remained in the dirty snow were several lines of gaudy tire marks.
The car was gone and so was the man.
Micaela stood at the entrance to the village for a long time, wondering if the fool Madelynn was talking about was Nico or not.
“Madelynn, who is the fool you speak of?”
Madelynn, not knowing Nico’s name, cocked her little head in thought for a moment and replied with a frown, “Well, … the bad guy who bullied the kids.”
Micaela can’t say what she feels.
It’s hard to tell if you’re happy or lost.
If Nico came to her, why didn’t he wait for her again?
Madelynn scratched her little head and said, “Miss Micaela, when I was talking to that handsome guy by the car just now, that mean guy looked jealous, maybe he thought you liked that handsome guy and left with an inferiority complex!”
Madelynn unleashed her little brain and rattled off a bunch of yeses and no’s.
Micaela was amused by Madelynn and reached out to stroke the girl’s head.
The word “inferiority complex” doesn’t exist in Nico’s vocabulary.
But the only explanation is that, after all, the trust between them is as thin as paper.
Nico has always believed that she was in love with him on the one hand and that she couldn’t let go of Dario Cepeda on the other.
Even if we meet tonight, what can we do with such unreliable feelings, we will keep repeating the same mistakes in the future.
Micaela said, “Go home.”
Madelynn asks, “Miss Micaela, do you like bad guys or handsome guys?”
Micaela said nothing.
Madelynn said to herself, “It must be Uncle Handsome! Very bad bad uncle! Hell, he deserves it!”
Micaela shoved her hands into the large quilt pockets, took a deep breath of cold air, and turned back toward the village.
…
During the night, Micaela received the first good news of the new year.
Black and White” surpassed $100 million at the box office on the same day, winning in both word of mouth and at the box office.
However, being a New Year’s Eve slot, the box office will depend on how it continues to perform in the coming days, but with these types of literary films, as long as word of mouth wins, the box office is no longer relevant.
The producers chose to release this literary film in the New Year’s Eve time slot to compete with the lively New Year’s Eve time slot of the same time, clearly wanting to bet on word of mouth to keep box office traffic up.
With Almazan’s work, the quality is tough enough that even if it’s a niche film, the market will eat it up and there’s nothing wrong with that.
On the morning of the first day of the new year, in addition to the hot news of the show hanging from the hotspots, the film Blanco y Negro, and Micaela, the leading lady, also featured prominently in the hotspots.
Micaela’s high-quality face and her lithe, smooth acting have received rave reviews and won her numerous girlfriends overnight.
Micaela is a diamond, so dazzling that there is no hiding it.
Although Nico had previously spoken out and withdrawn several of his appeals and endorsements, several union parents and endorsements resurfaced within days after ‘Blanco y Negro’ came out against it.
Actually Nico didn’t mean to shut Micaela up, it was just a casual comment made in a moment of anger, Celesta Zorrilla secretly gave Micaela all those endorsements and quality resources, Nico turned a blind eye and a deaf ear, as if they had forgotten that Micaela was still there.
So the New Year has passed, and Black and White ended up selling 1. 500 million at the box office. 1. 5 billion is not the highest grosser of the year-end season; there are hilarious commercial films that sell more than 2 billion at the box office.
But for a literary film, 15 crores is already an extremely high figure, and more importantly it has won the word of mouth, and the industry believes that all the big awards this year will probably go to Black and White.
A niche literary film, itself made to win awards.
The literary, fresh-faced, luminous Micaela was an instant hit on the Internet.
Micaela is on fire.
After New Year’s Eve, Celesta Zorrilla had an almost non-stop schedule of ads for Micaela.
The discomfort with Nico is something Micaela has no time or energy to dwell on or dwell on.
Who exactly was the fool waiting for her at the entrance to town that night, Micaela no longer explores.
Nico, the man, seems to have truly vanished from all of Micaela’s life and sight.
Between them, Micaela thought, it should be over.
