The fourth movie was a bit difficult, especially the relationship part. There were a lot of kissing scenes and fighting scenes, Thea and Dylan had cooperated in so many movies, and they had already generated the chemistry required in this one. One exchange of eyes would convey so much for the cameras.
Thea could still fight properly in the fourth movie. She didn’t have much time for training. And she lost a lot of weight when she shot her own movie a couple of months ago. But she still looked stunning in front of the camera.
When she was shooting the scene, Cody was always with her, examining all the props and making sure everything was safe and prepared.
The first month after Thea entered, the crew had been devoted to fighting scenes. All those scenes were shot on the top of an abandoned train. Those scenes should be the most important part of the fourth movie.
Thea was shrouded in a crimson dress, chasing and fighting as flexibly as a bird.
The whole fight scene lasted the whole night. They only stopped shooting at 4 am. When they had just finished, it suddenly started to rain. Dylan hadn’t finished his shooting, but the rain made the filming even more beautiful.
Meanwhile, the short movie Thea put online also got some heat. The views of the film were increasing rapidly when Thea checked out her phone. A lot of people were leaving positive comments on the video.
Thea was happy that her first work got a lot of attention.
She decided to celebrate it a bit. So when she went back, she cooked some dishes for her and Cody.
They enjoyed their meal, and then Thea sent a video chat request to her family.
Cristelle was the one who picked up the call.
“Hii, Cristelle!” Thea smiled, “Where are Franco and Daniel?”
Cristelle smiled, “We just finished the dinner, and the boys are probably in the playroom right now. I’ll take a look.”
The camera of the phone turned, and Thea saw the twins sitting on the thick carpet of the playroom and playing with Legos and Rubik’s cubes.
Cristelle explained, “Now, Daniel’s favorite toy is Rubik’s cube. Daniel, Mommy’s calling. Say hi to Mommy.”
Daniel looked up and smiled, “Mommy.” And then, he dipped his head and started to fumble with the cube again.
Franco almost pressed his face to the camera as he shouted, “Boo! Mommy!”
“Geez! Franco!” Thea pretended to be startled.
Cristelle went to ruffled Daniel’s head, “Sweetie, talk to Mommy a bit more. You just said you missed Mommy a couple of days ago. Why don’t you talk to her now?”
Daniel looked up and stared at the camera, “Mommy, I do miss you, but just a little bit. You don’t need to come back for this, okay? Just take care of yourself outside. Franco and I can take care of ourselves.”
Thea almost cried. So the boy didn’t want to act as he missed her too much because he didn’t want her to worry?”
“Aww… I miss you, too, sweetie.”
“When will you come back, Mommy?”
Franco took the phone away from Cristelle, holding it with both hands, “We should watch cartoons together.”
Thea smiled as she dipped under her eyes with her finger, “Two or three months at most.”
“That long? It’s almost 100 days.” Franco frowned.
Cristelle laughed as she went to the camera as well. “Thea, do you want me to bring the boys over there? It’s not that far.”
Thea shook her head, “I don’t think so. Those paparazzi are crazy. I don’t want them to have Dan or Ed on camera.”
Those people could say whatever they wanted of her online.
But she really didn’t want to see any negative comments about her baby boys online.
Cristelle knew what Thea was thinking. So she nodded and dropped the suggestion.

After all the fighting scenes, there were only emotional scenes left to do. It was not as difficult as posing and kicking. And it was quite easy when the male lead was Dylan.
Thea was immersed in the story of her character and the love story.
The more Cody watched the shooting, the angrier he got.
He thought he would become more tolerant after Thea gave him two baby boys. But he found the way Dylan looked at Thea extremely annoying.
He wished he could tell Dylan to look away, but it was not how the script arranged those scenes.
When he remembered the scriptwriter was his own sister, he thus became even madder.
What the heck was Candace Bradley thinking when she wrote this?
Cody was combating his inner demon every day, but there was nothing he could do.

After a period of four months, the filming of this movie was finally completed. In the meantime, a screening of the third movie took place when people were on vacation over the summer, breathing fresh life into the box office. At the end of September, a total of 5 billion dollars worth of cinema tickets were sold for the film Heavenfall.
The film franchise continued to be one of the most successful in cinematic history.
The elegant performance that Thea delivered touched the lives of millions of people. Her devoted following grew much stronger than it had been before.
When it comes to the number of honors won and works produced, no one could compete with Thea in the industry as a whole.
She had reached the point where there was no question that she was one of the most popular A-list stars.
On the other hand, the individuals opposed to it wouldn’t let up. There were still supporters of Paris out there. They would post irrelevant comments on Twitter about candles and snakes under Thea’s comment sections. There were many among them who went so far as to threaten to take Thea’s life. Thea didn’t even want to catch a glimpse of those creatures in her peripheral vision.
After some time had passed, she no longer found such words to be upsetting. She was the only one who found them amusing.
She never had in her life caused harm to another person, but for some reason, the people behind the stage decided to let her take the blame nevertheless.
The water was much too deep in this sector of the economy. She was well aware that this would be detrimental to her professional standing.
However, Thea did not permit them to achieve what they desired.
