The evening breeze is blowing, and the vast manor is lit only by the mansion, and from the second floor balcony of the mansion you can look out over the brightly lit city of El Roy in the distance. Diana didn't change out of her noble blue dress, and stood on the edge of the balcony with a white coat on her shoulders, not knowing what she was thinking. Harvey saw her beautiful back through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, and pushed open the window door to reach her, the mansion's balcony was very spacious and there were several tables placed around it, and if it was afternoon, it would be a good treat to spend tea time here.

Harvey looked towards Diana's lookout and asked casually, "What are you looking at?" ”

Diana's jade hand in crystal stockings rested on the marble armrest, and her clear eyes were still looking far away: "Looking here will make you feel that the city of Elroy is so small, but there are many places in it that I have never been to." ”

"It sounds like there's something else to it."

Diana turned her head and looked at Harvey indifferently with a jade hand: "It's nothing, how is the matter between you and your father going, I thought you would talk for a longer time." ”

Harvey smiled and explained casually: "Ah, it will take a long time to fully explain, so there is no rush now, William will come to us tomorrow to confirm the cooperation, do you still want to go back to the academy?" ”

"Of course, I'm still a student."

Harvey remembered something, looked at Diana's handsome and beautiful face and said his thoughts: "You can't learn anything in that kind of place, don't you think about finding something else to do?" ”

Diana lifted the hair around her ears, and her face showed a hint of helplessness: "College life is indeed not interesting, boring but reassuring, at least you don't have to think about messy things before graduation." ”

Harvey was dumbfounded: "You mean marrying me?" ”

"Not exactly."

"Hmm~ what the hell is that?"

"Harvey, if I marry you, I won't have to think about these things."

Harvey touched his chin and was speechless for a while: "That means you don't want to marry me." ”

Diana bowed her head as a matter of course and said lightly: "I don't deny this." ”

Harvey had mixed feelings in his heart, and said with a wry smile: "You haven't forgotten what I said last time, it sounds a little discouraged to me." ”

Diana looked in the direction of the city of El Roy and chuckled: "With your current status, you will definitely be able to find a more suitable candidate, even if it becomes the same as before, no one will criticize the life style of a novelist." After speaking, she glanced at him, her tone was not particularly emotional, she didn't feel bad about Harvey, but she always thought that the two were more suitable to be friends.

It's better to say that Harvey is still the first man to make her feel this way, from birth to now, let alone friends, no man has made her have any special thoughts.

"Hehe, but I'm not going to cancel the engagement, and Mr. Don certainly doesn't have the idea of canceling our engagement now. Hmm~ If you want to get out of your current situation, I can provide you with some help, at that time, even if the Cromwell family disagrees, you can make your own decisions and decide what life you should live. Harvey smiled playfully, then his face changed to seriousness.

"Help?"

Diana turned her head sideways and looked Harvey up and down, his words didn't match the preamble.

Harvey said calmly: "It's what I just talked to your father, you can understand that I want to plan and perform a play, and then I need funding from the Cromwell Chamber of Commerce, and it just so happens that I am short of actors for this play." ”

Diana's slender sword eyebrows frowned: "You want me to perform a play?" ”

The social status of theatrical actors in the current era is not low, but Diana herself tends to be conservative in her concept, and she doesn't like the feeling of being watched by an audience.

"This time the Cromwell Chamber of Commerce can get five percent of the stake income by cooperating with us, at the cost of a rough estimate of at least one million barents or more, and if you are willing to agree to join, I can promise you three percent of the stake income." Harvey looked at her blue eyes and said solemnly, he didn't look like he was joking.

It won't be long before Jared's drama theatre will become a shareholding model, with Harvey and Jared each owning 30 percent. Although Harvey did not have the property rights to the theater, he was a technical shareholder, and "The Count of Monte Cristo" would only be shown in this theater after filming, and Harvey and Jared also planned to use other shares in the theater to attract more investment.

Harvey knew very well that The Count of Monte Cristo would make a splash if he ate a cake alone, but it would take a long time to develop. Why not divide the cake and attract more investment to make the cake bigger, so that even if you only get a third of the cake, it will be ten or even a hundred times bigger than the one you eat alone.

The market for movies is huge, so big that Harvey can't eat it alone.

Diana's brows furrowed even deeper: "Oh? I didn't even know I was worth the price. ”

Harvey's casual stats are more like a joke.

"It's worth it for me, you should have read the novel "The Count of Monte Cristo", don't you think the character of Haydai is very similar to you? Whether it's arrogant or straightforward, if you have a softer and more passionate personality, it's perfect. The Cromwell Chamber of Commerce is willing to help me solve the biggest problem I am currently facing, and if you are willing to agree to me to play the role of Haydai, you can solve the second problem I am facing. Harvey rested one hand on the guardrail to support his chin and calmly state his thoughts and intentions.

Diana was still a little hesitant: "I've never really loved anyone, including my father, and I'm not interested in theater. ”

She liked "The Count of Monte Cristo" very much, and read the novel no less than five times, which is why she knew the character of Haydai so well that she thought she could not do the Count of Monte Cristo's performance with passion and love.

Harvey shrugged: "You just need to play that role, I don't think it's a difficult thing for you, you can also choose to try it before you decide." ”

Harvey still decided to direct and act in the filming of "The Count of Monte Cristo", it is not easy to find a suitable actor in a world without a film foundation, even if Diana has no acting foundation, her temperament is naturally suitable for the role of Haydai, and the performance effect of her true colors is enough to meet the passing line required by Harvey.

persuade Diana to play Haydai, then Harvey can pull his maid Shirley out to play Merses Tess, Christie, who was originally scheduled to play Haydai, play Merses Tess in her teenage years, and Harvey himself plays the Count of Monte Cristo, so that the starring role of "The Count of Monte Cristo" is basically complete.
