Chapter 225: And Cannes

"With the Army...... Nurse?" Diana's eyes widened, a little incomprehensible to him. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"Yes, I will communicate with the Red Cross when the time comes, and send a team to serve the wounded and sick, and you can be the team leader. Li Xu explained.

"You want me to go?" asked Diana after a moment of silence.

"Yes, on behalf of Her Royal Highness the Princess. Li Xu nodded, "Once the war really starts, the royal family will always have to express it, after all, the vast majority of people now support the government." His Royal Highness Charles definitely can't go, and a few princesses are probably not interested in going, but His Royal Highness Andrew can, but unless the queen releases him. Therefore, if at this time, you stand up and say that you can go to the front line to do medical work as Elizabeth's representative, it will be good for you and Elizabeth. ”

"Benefits?" Diana thought with a frown.

"This is also to serve the country," Li Xu pinched her nose affectionately, "What kind of image will a woman who stands up and contribute her meager strength in times of national humiliation or crisis in the eyes of the people? ”

"Oh......" Diana nodded, but still had a look of understanding.

Then, she pursed her lips, "Am I stupid?"

"Of course. Li Xu laughed.

"Eddie!" Diana exclaimed a little angrily, and then was hugged by him, "I want you to be stupid, I can better protect you, right?"

Diana immediately snorted and twisted her body to express her dissatisfaction, but finally leaned into his arms with a relieved look.

"If you don't know anything, just ask Elizabeth and she'll explain it to you. Li Xu finally said in her ear.

So Diana really took the time to ask Elizabeth, and Elizabeth, after listening to her relay, was silent for a long time before sighing: "It's your luck to have such a boyfriend, Dina." ”

Although she said this because there was a factor in pushing her sister to Li Xu's side, after all, this was one of their original agreements, but to a large extent, it was also sincere, Diana couldn't see Li Xu's calculations, how could she not see it.

Although Diana still couldn't understand the deeper meaning behind this, she could also hear the envy in her sister's tone, and the life in the palace was really depressing.

In just a year after marrying the crown prince, Elizabeth has lost a lot of weight, and from her usual conversations, Diana has gradually learned how much rules there are in the palace and how capricious His Royal Highness the crown prince is.

This made her secretly glad that if she had married into Buckingham Palace by herself, she would have been crazy a long time ago, right? So, under the influence of this little pride, which she didn't even notice herself, she became more and more considerate of Li Xu, and she could also completely ignore the housekeeper and secretary he brought with him.

And then...... Then Li Xu went to France, he came to England to ask his father who came to the town to ask about the situation, and secondly, to persuade Diana to prepare for the army.

After both things were done, and Diana had a good time, it was natural to go to France to talk to Gilles Jacob about "Fragments of Memory".

"I love Cannes because he's always at the forefront of cinema and always sets the scene. In the café on the bank of the Nase River, Li Xu said to the little old man in front of him in French.

Jacob was in his early fifties, and he looked several years old as soon as he had no hair.

"I prefer to think of the Festival de Cannes as a bole, an avant-garde sentinel who knows everything about fashion, schools and people, and whose keen sense of smell allows it to spot some new ......talent," says Jacob, a line that would have been passed around decades later, smiling and relieving.

"Of course, it is the responsibility of every film festival to discover potential directors, but it is also a fact that I have always insisted that facts are facts. Li Xu said unhurriedly.

He wasn't worried that Jacob would turn him down, he just added a place in the competition later, and a small check was enough to solve the problem. As mentioned earlier, this guy doesn't have much discipline, and he is groveling to Coppola and Polanski, Li Xu just needs to show his identity.

In fact, he could have called him to London for an interview, and I'm sure Jacob would be willing to pay him a visit, but ......

"Speaking of which, there's one thing I don't know if Giles can help out. After chatting about the movie for a while, Li Xu opened the topic.

"Speak, Edward. Jacob's face straightened.

"Well, I produced a film that I was going to attend this year's Cannes Film Festival. However, because the post-editing couldn't keep up, the one that was sent over was still a rough cut, and I was asking them to work overtime to rush to get the full version over before the 20th. Li Xu said.

"Well...... Jacob looked embarrassed, "Edward, as you know, the deadline for entries for the festival is March 10th. ”

"Of course I know, but this film took a lot of work and was made especially for Isa. Li Xu said, smiling and looking at Isabel Adjani, who was sitting next to him and had no mouth like a wooden man from beginning to end.

Isabel, who was stirring coffee a little boringly, opened her eyes wide when she heard this, and then glared angrily at Li Xu, ignoring Jacob's surprised gaze.

"Isha and I often discuss films, and she always doesn't care about my opinions," Li Xu said to himself, "so I said to her a few months ago, so let's do it, I'll produce a film and then take it to the Cannes Film Festival and see how many people like it." I'm a guy who just does what I say, and I do have some ideas for films, so I found some filmmakers in Hong Kong to make them. ”

"Hong Kong?" said Jacob again, surprised.

"Yes, after all, I made a bet with Isha in January, when it was a little late to assemble a crew in Hollywood or Europe. It just so happened that I had trained with filmmakers in Hong Kong before, and their labor was cheap, so I asked them to make it, but it was still a little late. Li Xu explained.

"But I promise, it's going to be a fun movie, and you can't see it in the rough cut, but it's going to be okay with the full version. When you read it, Giles, you'll agree with me. He continued, "I love making films, and I never mind spending money as long as it gets the effect I want. ”

"I like to make movies with a lot of braggadocia. Isabel couldn't help but snort beside her.

"Oh, dear, can you not dismantle my platform?" Li Xu said with a smile immediately.

Seeing their flirtatious appearance—although Isabel always ignores them, a blind man can also see the ambiguity between them—Jacob twitched the corners of his mouth, and then coughed lightly: "In this case, Edward, please make the full version as soon as possible, and then send it to the presidium of the festival, if the difference between the full version and the rough cut version is really big, we may be able to consider it." ”

"No problem, Giles, I'll give them a push on the phone. Li Xu nodded in agreement.

This matter is so decided, the so-called submission to the presidium for judgment is just an excuse, Jacob is the director of the film selection, and this power is still there. So, from the moment "I never mind spending money", the whole thing has been negotiated, and the rest is nothing more than a formality.

So, after returning to the estate on the outskirts of Paris, Isabel complained: "Why do you need me to pull the strings when you can easily convince Jacob?"

"Of course, to tell some people that you are mine. Li Xu said seriously.

Isabel glared at him at once, but said nothing, just walked in angrily. Seriously, her pretty blue eyes glared at people, which was not lethal at all, and probably only scary when she did it on the big screen.

Although she looked very angry, when her daughter was picked up by the nanny, a smile immediately appeared on her face, and the change was so fast that Li Xu was a little stunned.

But he reacted quickly, and after the mother and daughter made out, he walked over and clapped his hands: "Hey, Anna, look who's coming." ”

"Stupid baba!" cried the little one, and opened his hands to hug him.

Rolling his eyes, Li Xu took his daughter from Isabel's hand, looked at her forced smile and put on a "don't care about my business", and snorted softly.

"Little Tomato, have you ever thought about Dad?" asked Li Xu after giving Annabelle a hard kiss on the cheek.

The little one nodded, then shook his head.

"What does this mean?" Li Xu was puzzled.

"Stupid, disappear, always!" said the little one, very seriously.

"Oh, I'm sorry, baby, Daddy had to do this. Li Xu apologized to his daughter, looked at Isabel next to him, and couldn't help but smile mischievously, "However, you already have a younger brother, don't worry about having no friends." ”

"Brother?" the daughter's eyes widened as their mother's, "What's that?"

"A younger brother is a younger brother," Li Xu pinched her little face, regardless of the stunned look of Isabel next to her, and carried her to the special game room, "You will know later, okay, let's go read poetry now, remember a Chinese poem that Dad taught you before?"

"Yes!" replied Annabelle, crisply.

"Then read it to Dad, okay?" Li Xu continued.

"Okay...... daughter tilted her head and thought for a long time, "Ke, Ke, Ke, Ke, restrained to the sky, chased by Mao Fulu, bow palm broadcast!"

"Yes, yes, but the pronunciation is still a little inaccurate, so I have to practice more with the tape. Li Xu praised.

"Got it. Annabelle nodded, and straightened her little chest, as if glad that her father would compliment her.

"Okay, then what's next, today we learn another poem Chinese time interval, very short, easy to understand, an ancient Chinese poet with the same surname as his father, because of his homesickness and the creation of ......"
