The Greatest Showman – Chapter 156

Chapter 156 – Life is like a play A “contract relationship,” serving as a cover for a real romance—anyone could guess with their toes that there must be some trickery behind it. What’s more, Natalie Portman isn’t just intelligent; with her agent team backing her up, the fact that they would propose such a deal only made things more complicated. Of course, Renly believed that Natalie’s team would put enough weight on the table to…

The Greatest Showman – Chapter 155

Chapter 155 – Contractual relationship Seeing Ryan’s dumbfounded expression, Renly stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a grin,“Four o’clock this afternoon—don’t forget the time. If you don’t show up on the red carpet, I’ll absolutely tell the reporters about you and Michelle.” Buried was hardly a high-profile film. Even though Toronto was the first stop for its world premiere, they weren’t given the star treatment. Landing the coveted 8 p.m. slot was…

The Greatest Showman – Chapter 152

Chapter 152 – Misidentify After entering the movie theatre, the film had already started playing its opening credits. The entire screening room was shrouded in darkness. Renly bent over and made his way to a seat near the back, casually choosing an empty spot and sitting down. The Illusionist was a very unique animated film. In an age where screenwriting and dialogue were becoming increasingly dull and uninspired, this film boldly returned to the essence…

The Greatest Showman – Chapter 151

Chapter 151 – Awkward confrontation Natalie was feeling a bit agitated and found it difficult to calm down and think clearly. Black Swan had its official world premiere at the Venice Film Festival last week, receiving widespread acclaim from the media—particularly for the two lead actresses, Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis.
