The family of three was not angry. They chatted with Zhang Zian for a while and asked him to take a few family photos for them. Then they left. They might have questions in their hearts. Why did this Chinese man linger in front of Bruce Lee's wax figure for so long? Was it because Chinese people all had a Kung Fu complex?
Old Time Tea stared at Bruce Lee's wax figure without blinking. After a long time, it looked away, sighed deeply, and said, "Zian, that's enough. Thank you."
"Grandpa Tea, we are not in a hurry. You can look at it for a while," Zhang Zian said sincerely.
Old Time Tea shook its head and said, "Time flies."
"Well, then let's continue." Zhang Zian did not force it. Old Time Tea was different from Galaxy. It was mature enough and experienced enough. It could only be solved by itself.
After walking for a while, Fina, who had been sullen and disinterested, suddenly stared at a gorgeous wax figure in front of it.
Its reaction was also within Zhang Zian's expectations, because it was "Cleopatra" played by Elizabeth Taylor.
Fina once said that she was ugly, although Zhang Zian did not know whether it was sincere or not, or just arrogant. He was more inclined to think that it was because Fina did not like others to play its former owner.
However, the aesthetic standards of modern and ancient times were certainly different, and in the past 2000 years, people's appearance had also changed due to continuous mixing. The real Cleopatra VII was of Greek descent, and Elizabeth Taylor had a quarter of Indian blood. It was normal that Fina did not like her.
Even so, this monumental film cost 44 million US dollars. Taking inflation into account, it was the largest investment in film history. The background was impeccable. All the ancient Egyptian materials that could be collected were collected and accurately restored in the film. Except for Cleopatra herself, the other aspects should be very close to the real ancient Egypt.
Elizabeth Taylor, or rather, Cleopatra VII, was dressed in a fitting black robe. She reclined on a soft red velvet couch and gazed ahead with a smile. Her posture was very feminine, showing a beautiful S-shaped curve. The gold arm rings, bracelets, and braid pendants added luxury and elegance to her.
Behind her, in the starry night 2000 years ago, the luxurious royal flat-bottomed sailboat sailed on the Nile River. The busy soldiers and slaves served Her Majesty the Queen with all their might.
Even further away, a bright moon illuminated the world.
The pure white pyramid stood quietly in the moonlight. Neither the bright moon nor the pyramid had changed for thousands of years.
What is she looking at?
Overlooking the vast Divine Kingdom like the Pharaoh?
Waiting like a wife for the victorious return of Caesar or Antony?
Looking forward to their children growing up like a mother?
Calmly facing the fate of death like a prophet?
Or was she looking at the distant Besster Palace of Bubastis, missing the Great Priest who was alone in the palace?
Old Time Tea saw Fina's strange behavior and wanted to ask something, but Zhang Zian raised his hand to stop it. Snowy Lionet wanted to get close to Fina, but he stopped it. This was the first time he had stopped Old Time Tea from talking, because it was not the right time to ask. Fina's temper was not as good as Old Time Tea's. Fina definitely did not want to be disturbed by anyone or anything, not even Old Time Tea or Snowy Lionet.
Fina was frozen in place, more hesitant than Xinghai had been. It stared at her with its eyes wide open, and its mouth opened and closed silently, as if it was saying something or asking something.
This was another reason why Zhang Zian chose to visit the wax museum. There was not only a wax statue of Bruce Lee, but also a wax statue of Cleopatra — even if it was just an actor playing Cleopatra.
On the plane, when Fina asked when they would fly over the Black Lands, he told her that if she could not go to Egypt for the time being, then Elizabeth Taylor's wax statue would bring her a little comfort.
Fina was different from Xinghai. She had a strong will, and did not need Zhang Zian's encouragement. After the initial trance, she recognized that this was not Cleopatra herself, but an actor she had seen before.
Fina took a step forward and walked towards her. It walked very slowly and very carefully, as if it was afraid that if it moved too much, it would wake up the illusion.
Zhang Zian heard footsteps and voices coming from behind him. Looking back, he saw a young couple coming from behind, holding a camera in their hands. It seemed that they were going to take a photo with the wax statue of Cleopatra.
He made a prompt decision. Without waiting for them to get close, he went over to them and said with a cheeky smile, "Hello, I am a special representative of the Amazing Fate Pet Shop from the FFF group. Can I borrow a lighter?"
Zhang Zian deliberately said these words in Chinese, and the foreign couple was obviously confused. They did not understand what he was saying — not to mention that they did not understand, even Zhang Zian himself did not understand. But when he saw the young couple, a burning sense of mission rose in his chest …
The young couple gestured, pointed to their ears, and waved their hands, indicating that they did not understand Chinese.
Zhang Zian knew what they meant, but he still played the fool he was best at. He took out a tourist map and showed it to them. He pointed randomly on the map, pretending to ask for directions, and pestered them endlessly, not letting them go.
The young couple was thin-skinned, but at the same time, they were more enthusiastic. Even if they did not understand what Zhang Zian was saying, they still gestured for him. Zhang Zian opened his eyes wide and pretended to be suddenly enlightened. Then he frowned to show that he was confused. He felt that all the directors and producers in the world were blind. If they asked him to make a movie, maybe he could also win an Oscar …
While pestering them, he peeked at Fina. He saw that Fina had walked to the soft couch and was looking up at the wax statue of Cleopatra. Its green eyes were sparkling with tears.
Zhang Zian silently apologized to the couple in his heart. He did everything he could, but he could not let them pass at this time. This was for Fina's sake, and at the same time, for their safety. Otherwise, Fina, who was in a rage, might do something.
Old Time Tea and Snowy Lionet seemed to understand something. They nervously stared at the tourists coming and going, for fear that someone would come and disturb them.
After a few seconds, Fina gently jumped up and stood on the soft couch, looking at the wax statue close at hand.
From Zhang Zian's point of view, he suddenly felt that Cleopatra's hand seemed to be missing something. If there was a wax statue of a cat, it might be more perfect.
Fina squatted down, looked at her for a while, then closed its eyes and lay on the soft couch in front of her. Fina knew that she was fake. She had no breath, no smell, no temperature, nothing. Even her face was different. But other than that, everything else was the same.
Fina really hoped that she would suddenly move, gently put her hand on its body, and say, "Fina, sorry to keep you waiting. From now on, we will never be separated again. "
Fina knew that this was wishful thinking. The real Fina was already dead, annihilated in the long river of history 2000 years ago, along with the Immortal Kingdom. Maybe not even a mummy was left.
After a moment of tenderness, it opened its eyes. There were no tears in its eyes, and it became the usual Fina again.
It jumped off the soft couch with a cold face, stared at Zhang Zian, and said disdainfully, "Stop fooling around. Don't embarrass me!"
Zhang Zian could not stand it anymore. If he continued to pester the couple, they might call the police. He quickly stepped aside and let them take photos with Cleopatra's wax statue as they wished.
After the couple left with a belly full of confusion, the wax statue of Cleopatra was empty again.
"Do you want to stay a little longer?" Zhang Zian asked, pointing to the wax statue.
Fina flicked its tail, turned around, and left first.
"Are you stupid? Why should I stay? It's just a wax statue, "it said indifferently." And it's ugly. "
