Terry's crew never dreamed they would be able to work with a real movie star, a very well-known actor in their generation: Jean.
The man was already 45 years old but he still looked very young and fresh; it was as if he was the same age as them. His attitude was very friendly and down to earth. It was really unexpected.
At first, they thought that a star of Jean's level, would be very arrogant, or at least he would keep a distance from them, the ordinary people, but apparently they were wrong. Jean was very pleasant to be with and they really admired him.
The filming went very smoothly and within two weeks, all the shooting process had been completed. They just needed to enter the post-production process and then distribute their movie to a number of local theaters and invite their friends and critics.
"Alright, since we've all worked well and completed our assignment perfectly, I'll give you all a reward," said Terry eagerly as they completed their shoot on the last day. His crew looked at each other and smiled broadly. They didn't expect that Terry had prepared a gift for them.
"Wow ... how exciting! What's the gift?" Isla asked excitedly.
Terry smiled mysteriously then took out a stack of tickets from his bag, and brandished it in front of his crew.
"These tickets are for Billie Yves' concert and backstage access!" Terry exclaimed loudly.
Simultaneously his crew jumped happily and roar in excitement. They knew how difficult it was to get Billie Yves' concert tickets. Not only was it very expensive, all the tickets were sold out on the first day of sale! Billie Yves was a legendary musician.
Jean only looked at Terry's behavior with a thin smile. His son received many free tickets from Billie Yves as a graduation gift and he was allowed to bring his friends. He certainly did not waste the opportunity.
"Oh my God! This is too cool!! You're so cool. You are such a talented filmmaker and getting the chance to work with you before you become famous has actually been a gift for me. But ... oh my, it's Billie Yves' concert!!! Thank you, Terry!! " Max exclaimed, involuntarily hugging Terry. "I didn't know that you had such amazing access to this industry. You know Jean and you can even take us to watch Billie Yves' concert. Oh my God ... what did I dream of last night ..."
Seeing Max pinch himself, Jean could not help laughing. Max represented his friends who really liked Terry and blatantly expressed his admiration. This made Jean's chest expand with happiness because he was so proud of his son.
Finally, he could not take it anymore and told them the truth.
"Terry is great, and as a father, I'm very proud of him," Jean said softly, smiling faintly. His voice was not too loud but everyone in the auditorium could well hear the contents of his words.
Wait a minute, did Jean say that Terry was his son?
Terry's eight crew members looked at each other in surprise. One by one they turned to Terry and looked at him with astonished faces.
Terry himself looked at Jean in disbelief. What did Jean say just now? Did his father casually told his friends that he was Terry's father?
Wasn't Jean afraid of gossip? Just last week he was rumored with all sorts of gossip because he broke up with Billie and kissed another girl soon after ...
"What are you talking about, Dad?" Terry asked in puzzlement. His friends were even more amazed to hear Terry actually confirm Jean's words.
Oh. My. God...
Terry was really Jean's son?
Now they were all aware of the similarities between the two men. Indeed, when standing next to each other, they looked very much like siblings.
Jean had 50% Asian gene and 50% European gene because his mother was French and his father was Singaporean.
Terry, on the other hand, had a mixed appearance because both his father and mother were mixed too, so he was also 50% European and 50% Asian.
"Gosh ... are you for real?" Isla almost stumbled, so shocked. She must hold onto Lorena so as not to fall.
Jean nodded. "Terry is indeed my son. Since I am planning to retire from acting, I decided to appear on film one last time, in a film created by my own son."
"Wait ... what? Retiring?? Why?"
They were still not over the surprise from knowing that Terry was Jean's son, and now Terry's friends were even more shocked when they learned that Jean was planning to retire from acting. They were aware of how famous this one actor is.
It would be very unfortunate if he retired.
"Then ... the rumor that Jean broke up with Billie isn't true, right?" Isla asked again, curious. "I mean, we are invited to watch her concert ... If they had indeed broken up, Terry wouldn't have gotten so many tickets for us … right?"
Terry hurriedly covered his leading actress' mouth and tapped her head, "Hush ... don't discuss gossip here."
He looked at Jean with an apologetic look, but Jean just laughed lightly.
"All right, see you at the concert, okay," he then got up and prepared to leave.
Everyone stared at Jean's back with a half-adoring look, including Terry, who still couldn't believe his father just praised him proudly in front of his friends. They thought they wouldn't see the famous actor again, and was contemplating how lucky they were to be given the opportunity to work with him.
But, to their surprise, in less than a minute, Jean returned with a beautiful girl holding his arm with affection.
"Big Brother, I've been looking for you everywhere! Why didn't you pick up your phone? Good thing I met Uncle Jean in front of this building." Aleksis grumbled as she rushed at Terry who looked at her with a face filled with horror.
All his crew members were also shocked to see her.
