Chapter 158: Roman Holiday
For her sister, who is four years younger than herself, Eliza really likes it. She is so beautiful and innocent, and sometimes, she even sees her sister as an extension of herself.
But at the same time, she is also jealous because she will never be able to live for herself like she does.
She glanced at her female officer, the Countess Louis, who she trusted the most, and she could even entrust the other party with such a task as monitoring Philip.
But she hesitated, still not calling her now. She can observe again, Marita's life circle is not large, and she does not have many opportunities to get along with Jonas alone, if something really happens between her and Jonas, she will definitely not escape her eyes.
At that time, she will think carefully about what benefits this matter can bring her.
Although Marita is her sister and she truly loves her, Eliza is still a little dissatisfied with her being the second heir to the throne.
But she also knew that not to say that her child had not been born yet, that is, if she had been born, she could not directly propose to her father to change the heir to the throne.
Because his father really loved Marita, he couldn't tolerate his indifference to sisterhood and put his children in the priority inheritance order.
At this time, she saw her mother get up and change her position, sit next to Marita, and the two of them talked in a low voice.
Eliza has some regrets, she originally wanted to watch a good show, but since her mother has come forward, I'm afraid that this good show will not be seen.
Zhou Nan's heart at this time was full of contradictions, panic, and heaviness, but he couldn't help but have a hint of joy.
To be able to get the heart of such a proud woman is something to be proud of for any man.
But the thought that Audrey would suffer because of it filled him with guilt.
Audrey has known herself since she was eleven years old, came to Switzerland with her at the age of fourteen, and committed herself to herself at the age of sixteen.
In her life, there has never been another man, and she is all she has.
And if he makes her feel miserable because of this, then her life will probably be dark, how can he give it!
Audrey led Melissa and appeared in Zhou Nan's sight, he suppressed the thoughts flying in his heart, and greeted him with a smile.
And Audrey saw the oncoming Zhou Nan, with a happy and innocent smile on her face.
At this moment, he has strengthened his heart. He has never been a playboy who likes to play on the spot, one person's feelings have already satisfied him, and the love of two people will only make him feel heavy.
It's just that for the innocent smile on her face, he can't let go of his emotions.
Marita deserves a better relationship.
……
……
Although Grams is a very small place, if it weren't for the castle, the village probably wouldn't be marked on the map of Scotland.
But the arrival of the royal family still makes the place full of charm, and countless small nobles hope to get royal invitations every day.
However, Zhou Nan saw a room full of people, both men and women, wearing skirts, and couldn't help but make some plays.
Before attending the dinner, the royal housekeeper, the Earl of Sunderland, also brought Zhou Nan a Scottish checkered skirt and a pair of thick socks, he didn't have the courage to wear the skirt on his body, and finally chose suit trousers as his dress.
Wear a checkered skirt, and you can't wear panties underneath. That is to say, every man has to hang a blank block, showing his little dingding to eat, chat, and even dance together.
It seemed solemn to look at everything in front of him, but he felt awkward to think of the empty space under the men's skirts and sitting bare-bottomed in the chairs.
Philip, who was busy dancing with different beautiful women like a flower butterfly, made Zhou Nan think of decades later.
He also dressed up to participate in the event, but sat with his legs apart as usual. As a result, he showed a photo of his little Tintin, and a high-definition photo was taken, so that his little Tintint was seen by people all over the world.
So when he saw Philip, Zhou Nan couldn't help but want to laugh.
George also liked the atmosphere, compared to his son-in-law, he was as good as his son-in-law, and there was a long line of women who were willing to line up to dance with him.
Zhou Nan danced the first song with Audrey, and danced the second dance with the unsmiling Queen Mother. Then there was Melissa, Queen Elizabeth, and then Marita, who was very popular at the ball.
After an afternoon of emotional catharsis, the two of them behaved much colder at night than before.
But I don't know why, this superficial coldness did not make the two people feel embarrassed, but made the two people have a tacit understanding that they had never had before.
A look, a movement, both of them are very compatible.
Although in the process of a song, the two of them did not say a word, but from the strength of the two hands and the distance between the bodies, the two of them felt closer than before.
Zhou Nan has never liked the prom very much, and with this time, he might as well write a little article.
But socializing is a part of life. At a time when the development of Nanhua urgently needed European support, he danced here and contributed more than staying in the room and writing an article.
When the dance ended, Zhou Nan held Marita's left hand with his right hand, and the two of them exited the dance floor.
Marita didn't dare to look at Zhou Nan, and made a squatting salute gently. What he said was not a polite remark, but: "I will take care of the jade pendant." ”
Seeing that she was not wearing the jade pendant she gave her, Zhou Nan understood what she meant in an instant. In the face of this inappropriate relationship, she chose to retreat. Feelings are also like jade pendants, which will be treasured by her.
Zhou Nan felt relieved, but also a little lost. He nodded slightly, bowed slightly, and returned the salute. "Thank you......"
It's a thank you for her favor, a thank you for her love, and a thank you for her sanity.
If she lets go of this relationship, it will hurt not only Audrey, but also Zhou Nan's personal image and the image of the royal family.
It is the best choice to retreat sensibly like this.
Just when Zhou Nan wanted to return to his place, Marita spoke again. "Remember the first time we met, you owe me a favor?"
Zhou Nan nodded and said, "Don't dare or forget." ”
She said with some melancholy: "You made a movie for Audrey, and I think you will write a movie for me too, is that okay?" ”
Zhou Nan hesitated for a moment, and then she said, "Then forget it......"
Zhou Nan said with a smile: "It's not that I'm unwilling, it's just a little unexpected, I'll write a script for you, even...... More than one. ”
This time, without waiting for her to speak, Zhou Nan returned to his position without looking back.
Eliza, who was sitting on the edge of the dance floor, had been silently observing Zhou Nan and Marita, and when she saw them separate, she hooked her finger at Louis, and Countess Louis leaned over, and she whispered, "I want to dance too,...... You go and tell Jonas that the next dance, I want to dance with him. ”
Taking a sip of the Scotch whisky in the glass, Zhou Nan suddenly had an interest in drinking, and couldn't help but take another big sip.
Although he knew that this was the best choice, as a man, he couldn't help but feel a little lost.
Perhaps, a man is an unsatisfied child who always wants more!
However, today's choice of Marita, as well as her final request, also made Zhou Nan make up his mind to make the movie "Roman Holiday".
The time in which the movie "Princess Diaries" takes place is too far away, and if you want to shoot it, you have to change almost all other details except for keeping the main line.
The life of the heroine, and the setting of her mother, a single female painter, are not in line with this era. As for the changes in the details of life, one change is a complete change, and Zhou Nan has no confidence to write a bridge paragraph that satisfies everyone.
But "Roman Holiday" is different, and the plot development of this film can be copied almost completely without changes.
And if Zhou Nan wants to shoot this film, he only needs to change a few places slightly.
The first is that this film was originally driven by the plot from the perspective of the male protagonist. And now that Audrey has won the Oscar, she is no longer the unknown newcomer in her previous life, so she can focus more on the heroine.
The second is that many of the intimacy scenes in it are completely unnecessary. Because in terms of the responsibilities and freedoms of the princess, many conflicts are not shown, and the intimacy scene instead destroys the rhythm of the whole movie, so this is also the regret of the original movie.
Otherwise, the film would not have received ten nominations and would have won only three awards.
The last point is that the actor of this movie is really not suitable, although this movie was regarded as the best screen couple in later generations, but Gregory Peck's acting skills are really not suitable for comedy.
The original male protagonist of this movie was Gary Grant, who is the real superstar and comedic genius of this era.
And Gregory Pike is really embarrassed to play a comedy on the screen. He played the main drama and was known as the second Cary Grant, and he also learned from Cary Grant when he played comedy, but he only learned the surface but not the essence.
The film received ten nominations, but without one of the most important nominations for Best Actor, you can see how embarrassing his acting skills are as a big star.
Countess Louis came to Zhou Nan's side, saluted and whispered, "Mr. Zhou, good evening." ”
Zhou Nan nodded slightly, "Good evening, Countess." ”
Countess Louis said hello to Audrey and Melissa beside him, and then said, "Her Royal Highness Princess Eliza hopes that the next dance music will dance with you." ”
Zhou Nan nodded from Eliza in the distance across the crowd, and then said, "It's my honor." ”
The dance music sounded again, and Zhou Nan immediately stood up and walked towards Eliza, while the others also invited Audrey and Melissa to go down and dance.
Although Melissa is only ten years old, she has become a little lady, and she is not stage frightened at all.
Zhou Nan came to Eliza's face, bowed slightly, and stretched out his hand to Eliza. "Your Royal Highness, I hope I have this honor."
She got up and returned the salute and said, "Thank you for the invitation." ”
