Chapter 343 - 343 67 Various Thoughts

?Chapter 343: Chapter 67 Various Thoughts Chapter 343: Chapter 67 Various Thoughts Because it was an independent film with a budget of just over 10 million, there naturally wasn’t a premiere, and every penny had to be spent wisely. The release was scheduled during the off-season. However, it was precisely because of the off-season that, with Adrian’s mediation, the film reached 1500 theaters. He definitely wouldn’t let Natalie suffer.

Speaking honestly, it was a pretty good film. Richard Ryan was already talented in handling landscape shots and managed to capture the subtle warmth between father and daughter quite well. Even though it was quite different from the original, it was definitely better in terms of viewing appeal. Still, the box office might not be high, after all, the film’s biggest conflict was about fighting with officials from the Environmental Protection Agency over wild geese, and the other conflict, the father-daughter relationship, was dealt with in a trickle-down manner. As such, people who liked it thought it was great, while those who didn’t might find it a bit too subdued, and given that the environmental theme was not particularly popular, one could imagine the result.

Indeed, Natalie was arguably the biggest highlight of the entire film. She nailed the daughter role’s little quirks and small distances perfectly; just this point alone was enough to give the film a seven out of ten.

“Well… I think I was just very immersed,” Natalie said, becoming uneasy again as Adrian looked her way, with a flush quickly passing over her cheeks.

“Oh, Nata is shy,” said Shelly, oblivious to the situation, as she hugged her daughter and lovingly ruffled her hair.

“Let’s leave it at that, it was a pleasant evening, so I’ll take my leave now.” Adrian didn’t say much more and then excused himself from leaving, not even offering to see them home, as some things are better not overdone.

After all, his main reason for coming to New York was to invite them to watch “Fly Away Home” – otherwise, he wouldn’t have timed his visit – but he used having business in New York as an excuse.

“He really is a gentleman,” Shelly remarked as she watched Adrian get into the car, while Evan asked his daughter, “What did Ed say to you just now, Nata?”
