Chapter 62: Arrogance
Box 1.
When the queen talked about the romantic comedy just now, Margarita was a little excited, but because she was worried about affecting the queen's play, she endured it.
finally
The curtain slowly closes,
"Yes! The second act of The Prime Minister ends.
"Whew~"
The queen breathed a sigh of satisfaction,
"I don't seem to have laughed so intensively since I can remember. The rarest thing is that "Yes! The Prime Minister is not only interesting, it's also very insightful, and those in the Palace of Westminster, Whitehall and Downing Street should check it out. ”
This is very high praise.
Lu Shi was humble again and again,
"Your Majesty, you really have won the prize."
Margarita on the side poured a cup of black tea for the queen, and said, "But ...... "Yes!" I'm afraid the Prime Minister can't be performed at the Royal Opera House, right? ”
The queen nodded,
"Well, I'm afraid not right now, because it's too sharp."
Margarita sighed,
"It's a pity that Professor Lu's theatrical talent is great."
The queen raised her eyebrows, always feeling that her granddaughter's words meant something.
She bowed her head and pondered for a while,
Suddenly, the corners of her mouth hooked up an arc, and she quipped: "If Professor Lu can write a romantic comedy, he will definitely have no problem acting at the Royal Opera House." Merely...... Professor Lu's political satire is spicy, and I think it's much better than those dramas about love and love. ”
Margarita blushed instantly,
For the words of the queen are her words,
"Political satire is spicy, I think it's much better than those dramas of love and love", not a word has changed.
Of course, Lu Shi didn't know these inside information,
He muttered, "About the drama of love......"
Looking at his expression, George Bernard Shaw couldn't help but be excited,
"Lu, do you really have any good script ideas? Judging by the current level of public acceptance in the UK, romantic comedies must have a larger audience than political satire, and if they can be performed at the Royal Theatre, they must be more widely disseminated. ”
When it comes to love, the first thing that comes to Lu Shi's mind is "Titanic",
But it doesn't seem to have anything to do with comedy.
Moreover, the current shipping companies have not yet used large steam turbines as power, and a luxury cruise ship with a displacement of 46,000 tons is less reliable than a battleship in the eyes of ordinary people.
Lu Shi thought of "My Fair Lady" again,
But he looked at George Bernard Shaw on the side, and still felt that it was over, because "My Fair Lady" was based on George Bernard Shaw's "Pygmalion".
Since the deity is here, don't play with a big knife in front of Guan Gong.
And just like that, there was silence in the box.
I don't know how long it has been, Lu Shi raised his head and found that everyone's eyes were focused on him.
"It's not for nothing," he said. I named the story "Roman Holiday" and it was about Princess Anne visiting major cities in Europe as heir to the throne. The journey went smoothly, and finally arrived at the last stop in Rome, Princess Anne wanted to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Rome, but the attendants refused on the grounds that the princess was noble and unfit to show her face in front of the people......"
In Lu Shi's statement,
The princess of her wonderful years briefly escaped from the royal barriers, unbridled her true temperament in the noisy sun of the streets, and greedily enjoyed her freedom as a commoner,
She happened to meet a journalist and staged a Roman holiday,
In this short one-day trip, the princess and the reporter gradually fell in love.
But as the happy times passed, the princess knew that the relationship between the two parties could not last, so she returned to the trajectory of their lives.
The story is over.
George Bernard Shaw muttered, "What a good story. Let me ask, is the male reporter an American? ”
Lu Shi was stunned,
"Why do you say that?"
George Bernard Shaw laughed,
"I think only Americans or French people can do this kind of thing, and Americans are more likely."
Lu Shi was speechless,
In fact, Joe, the reporter in "Roman Holiday", is indeed an American, and has the audacity to abduct the princess.
Moreover, George Bernard Shaw is not wrong in what he said,
Americans write scripts and always like to do this kind of thing, such as "Love Before Dawn", which is an American boy who soaked away a French girl.
Well, very American.
Margarita sighed on one side,
"Is this a comedy?"
The queen looked at her granddaughter and said helplessly: "Of course this is a comedy, in the affectionate four-eyed look, the princess gently said 'goodbye' to the reporter, this ending is undoubtedly the most realistic and romantic." ”
Margarita was a little depressed,
The princess's love was stillborn, which made her feel inexplicably unhappy.
Knowing that her granddaughter had put herself in the role of Princess Anne, the Queen reminded her: "Aren't we discussing Professor Luk's creation of a romantic comedy? I think that if Roman Holiday could be performed at the Royal Opera House, it would be popular. ”
These words woke up Margarita,
She was a little embarrassed and let out a soft "um".
Fortunately, this embarrassment did not last long,
There was a knock on the door outside.
Stephenson frowned,
"Again!?"
Walk briskly over and open the door.
There was the waiter standing outside the door,
When he saw Stephenson, he immediately accompanied him and said, "Sir, just now...... Hmmm......"
Stephenson frowned,
"What do you look like? Speak up! ”
So the waiter passed Cecil's words as they were.
The conversation between the two entered the box.
In an instant, the queen's face sank,
"Are you sure you name 'Margarita in front of the Emperor'?"
The waiter nodded like pounded garlic,
"Of course, I didn't say a word about it."
As the saying goes, "the fire at the city gate affects the fish in the pond", in the face of the fight between the gods, the waiter did not dare to add any oil and vinegar.
The queen's expression grew colder and colder,
Long
"Humph!"
She snorted coldly and hid her figure in the armchair, but she didn't say a word.
That's it?
Margarita whispered, "Grandmother, this matter ......"
I couldn't ask the words later,
Because the air pressure around the queen is so low, like an Antarctic glacier with dozens of degrees below zero, as if it can freeze everything.
Lu Shi looked at the queen and probably knew what to do with it.
He asked the waiter, "That Mr. Salisbury is looking for me, isn't he?" ”
Seeing Lu Shi speak, the waiter let out a sigh of relief,
If Professor Lu is willing to go over and have a glass of wine and settle this matter, it will be very good.
The waiter nodded again and again,
"Yes, I'm looking for you."
Lu Shi chuckled,
"In this case, you can help me bring a message to the past, and say that I really have something to do here, and I don't have the skills. If Mr. Salisbury really wants to have a drink with me, let him come and I'll be waiting for him in Box One. ”
The waiter was completely confused,
This TMD ......
The man in Box 2 is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom!
Unexpectedly, Lu Shi's arrogance was endless, and he was still increasing: "By the way, you tell Mr. Salisbury that we all drink tea here, and we don't prepare drinks." Therefore, he needs to bring the wine himself. ”
"Goo......
The waiter swallowed loudly.
I've seen arrogance, I've never seen such arrogance,
Today is a cow man.
Lu Shi waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't be stunned here, why don't you go quickly?" ”
