On a tree-lined avenue next to one of the main buildings at the University of Oxford, a black station wagon is parked.

"Mr. Lin, our car has been parked here for more than half an hour, are you sure that the actress you mentioned will pass by here?" Luc Besson patted the steering wheel, shrugged his shoulders, looked at Lin Youlun and said.

Three days earlier, Luc Besson had received a phone call, and he had so much faith that he flew from France to England, where he met Lin Youlun, who was waiting for him.

"Mr. Lin, you promised me to finish filming "Pirates of Malta......"

"It's Pirates of Malacca!" Lin Youlun couldn't open his mouth and did not correct Luc Besson's statement.

"Sorry, with all due respect, the name is so ugly that I always misremember...... If my peers had known that I was going to make such a film, they would have laughed at me. ”

Lin Youlun shrugged regretfully, "This is the reason why French films will never be able to leave France, I don't mean to belittle art films, but if all directors in Hollywood make art films, Hollywood will be finished long ago!" ”

Luc Besson was silent, he agreed with Lin Youlun's point of view, otherwise he would not have flown from France to England to meet Lin Youlun, French films should also have commercial films, and Luc Besson is ready to be this attempt.

Luc Besson knew that the road was difficult, so after reading the script of "Pirates of Malacca", he agreed to be the director of the film, on the condition that after he finished the film, Lim Yo Lun would unconditionally support him to make a film conceived by himself.

Lin Youlun patted Luc Besson's shoulder, "Okay." On the relationship between commercial cinema and art cinema. We've talked enough about it in previous meetings. Now that you've made your choice, don't dwell too much on this issue and think about something happy, such as the beautiful girl we are about to meet and she will be the daughter of the Governor of Singapore in our film. ”

Luc Besson turned his head, looked at Lin Youlun in a mocking tone and said, "But so far, my impression of this heroine is still stuck in your language description, you call her 'English Rose'." But the proud British don't necessarily think so. ”

"I'll let the British take the initiative to recognize this title."

Lin Youlun appeared confident, but Luc Besson laughed when he heard this.

"Isn't that what you're talking about?"

"After filming this movie, you may soon become the public enemy of the French film industry, so you don't look like you are holding your hands and watching the excitement, if the movie is smashed, I will just lose a little money, and what you will lose is your entire future, which one is more important should not be reminded by me."

Luc Besson shrugged, the French character is like that, romantic and a little lazy, even if it is a very serious matter to discuss. He always had a very casual expression on his face.

Lin Youlun can't do anything about Luc Besson, but fortunately at this time. Another thing caught his attention.

"At nine o'clock, the person we are waiting for is coming!" Lin Youlun put on sunglasses and patted Luc Besson's arm.

Luc Besson turned his head according to Lin Youlun's prompt, and sure enough, he saw a tall long-haired girl walking over with a few books, she seemed to be thinking about something when she walked, her eyes sank slightly, her head was always lowered, and her hair was covered, and her face was a little difficult to see.

"Lin, I'm starting to feel that your choice is the right one, it's really a standard British beauty!" Luc Besson pushed the car door open and walked down, according to the agreement between him and Lin Youlun before, he should go over to greet the girl first.

"I'm sorry, can I ask you about someone?"

Luc Besson's way of greeting was a little different from the others, and the expression on his face at the moment made it seem as if he was really looking for someone.

The girl looked up at Luc Besson, she had wanted to refuse Luc Besson's request because she didn't think she would know the person Luc Besson was looking for, but after this glance, she changed her mind because she recognized Luc Besson's identity.

And at the same time as the girl's eyes lit up slightly, Luc Besson finally saw her appearance clearly.

Smooth cheeks, slightly lightly raised eyebrows, a slightly thin chin, and a pair of star-bright eyes make up the girl's impressively delicate face, elegant with a cold sensuality.

"You're the French director Luc Besson?"

Luc Besson pretended to blink in surprise, "What, you know me?" ”

"I've seen your movies." The girl's answer was simple.

"But I haven't shown up in my own movies, have I?" Luc Besson was still puzzled, and deliberately touched his face, as if to make sure that his name was not written on his face.

"I just watched an interview about you on TV some time ago." The girl added.

Luc Besson nodded, "Actually, I ......"

"You want to ask me about someone?" The girl spoke before Luc Besson, "You can tell me the name of the person I'm looking for, but I don't promise to know him." ”

Luc Besson found that telling the truth at this time was very likely to cause a misunderstanding of the girl, so she had to make a mistake.

"I'm looking for a girl named Kate Beckinsale, who is a student at Oxford University and was taken a fancy by Emma Thompson's husband Kenneth Bryner some time ago and played a role in the movie Much Ado About Nothing......"

The expression in the girl's eyes became a little strange, "I'm very strange, since you know so much about that person's information, how can you not know what she looks like?" ”

"Because someone else recommended her to me." Luc Besson didn't lie about this, if Lin Youlun insisted on pulling him to Oxford University, he would not have known about the existence of Kate Beckinsale.

Seeing that Luc Besson's expression didn't look like a lie, the girl nodded and said, "It seems that your luck is good, I do know the person you said this person is." ”

"Really? Can you take me to her? Luc Besson looked surprised, and in order to play the play enough, he continued to tell the girl the purpose of his coming to Kate Beckinsale, "I have a movie in my hand, and the investor will designate the heroine to be played by Kate Beckinsale, but before you take me to her, I want to make sure of one thing." ”

"What?" There was a puzzled look in the girl's eyes.

"What does that Kate Beckinsale look like? Of course, I don't mean anything else, I just think that you also meet my requirements, and if that Kate Beckinsale can't do it, I can find a way to convince investors to let you play the heroine! Luc Besson said with a serious expression.

The girl looked at Luc Besson angrily, "She's standing right in front of you, and then what do you think?" ”

"You're ......" Luc Besson had a look of surprise on his face, as if he had seen the Thames flowing backwards.

"Alright, Monsieur Luc Besson, don't play it anymore, you know who I am from the very beginning when you greet me, am I not wrong about that?" The girl's sudden calm speech made Luc Besson's expression freeze for a moment.

"There were two other boys walking this way with me, and you walked towards me without hesitation, which is not the behavior of a passer-by."

The girl's observation was very nuanced, and Luc Besson nodded inwardly, but did not admit it.

"Because you're the most prominent in the crowd and can talk to a beautiful woman, why should I choose those two freckled guys next to me?"

"Then next, I said I watched your talk show on TV, but I actually knew you from the newspaper, and you didn't deny it at the time, how do you explain that?" Kate Beckinsale then asked.

"It's true that I haven't been interviewed by British television, but I did record a television interview in France, and I thought that British television broadcast that program."

The girl affirmed: "This is impossible, British television never broadcasts foreign television programs, you should know this better than me." ”

Luc Besson shrugged, "Okay, Miss Beckinsale, I admit that I did make a joke with you just now, but the purpose of my coming to you is real, I want to invite you to be the heroine of my film." ”

Kate Beckinsale looked at Luc Besson suspiciously, "Is this really your decision, and not the dictation of the investor behind you?" ”

Luc Besson spread his hands, "At first, it was my investor who wanted to ask you to be the heroine, out of some agreement between me and him, I could only agree, but after meeting you in person, I immediately changed my mind, I think my investor vision is really good, you must be the most suitable person for this role!" ”

Kate Beckinsale specifically asked, "Are you sure?" ”

Luc Besson nodded seriously, "Because the identity of the heroine is set as an Englishman, the daughter of the governor of Singapore in the eighteenth century, and you are indeed one of the few actors I have ever met who can blend classical beauty and modern beauty, I even have a feeling that this character is born for you." ”

Kate Beckinsale interrupted Luc Besson, "With all that said, you haven't told me who exactly told you to come to me?" ”

Luc Besson asked a very strange question: "If I didn't say it, wouldn't you have agreed to act?" ”

Kate Beckinsale nodded, she wouldn't have agreed to Luc Besson until she figured it out.

Luc Besson had a helpless expression on his face, "Okay, I'll take you to meet him!" (To be continued......)
