The carriage arrived at the Royal Opera House.

George Bernard Shaw was the first to get out of the car,

Lu Shi stopped him from behind: "Wait! We're going to have to get rid of that part. ”

George Bernard Shaw was stunned for a moment, and then reacted,

The part of the mouth of truth should indeed be pulled out, otherwise it will be seen by the actress and become defensive, and she will not be able to create the accident she wants.

The three of them put the script in order and then entered the theater.

Unlike the Lyceum Theatre, the Royal Opera House arranges performances from the afternoon, so the workers almost have to work in a row, from morning to night, and the actors are also in a similar state of work, either performing or preparing for the performance.

There was a "war and chaos" in the theater,

Every now and then, there would be a loud bang of props or sets slamming on the floor, followed by screams and scolding from the theater manager.

Owen couldn't help but chuckle,

"Seeing them work so hard makes me feel proud."

George Bernard Shaw rolled his eyes at his best friend and complained, "What do you have to be proud of?" Now Lyceum Theatre can temporarily suppress London's theaters because of "Yes! Prime Minister", when "Roman Holiday" hits the stage, you will have to cry. ”

Indeed, romantic comedies have a wider audience than political satire,

But drama should not only be the pursuit of popularity,

Like "Yes! The Prime Minister", which opened a precedent for a type of drama, is destined to go down in history, and the Lyceum Theater and the leading actors are honored.

So Owen wasn't worried at all,

"It's okay, I've already thought about it, as long as I hug Professor Lu's thigh, there will be fame and profit."

As he spoke, he didn't forget to wink at George Bernard Shaw subtly,

"Your drama won't work~"

George Bernard Shaw: "You TMD!" @#*￥%……”

One sentence almost made George Bernard Shaw vomit blood, and the words he said became garbled.

At this moment, a staff member saw three people,

The first thing he noticed was George Bernard Shaw,

"Mr. Xiao?"

Because George Bernard Shaw was a regular at various theaters, the vast majority of people knew him.

George Bernard Shaw waved his hand and said, "You go and call Jan Rui over, and say Sir Owen and the creation of "Yes! Prime Minister's Lu is also there. ”

The staff's eyes widened in surprise and stared at Lu Shi,

After a long time, he turned around,

"I'll go!"

Running in the direction of the stage.

It didn't take long for a group of people to rush towards the three of them,

At the same time, it is said loudly:

"Is it really that Lu? I especially like his "Yes! Prime Minister. ”

"It's still the "Answer" that is well written."

"That poem is really well written, but it's just the last glow of the classicist aesthetic, and of course we actors should pay attention to innovative drama."

"Why is Lu here?"

"I heard from the manager, it seems that Her Majesty the Queen commissioned Lu to create a romantic comedy book, and I want to put it in our theater to perform."

……

The group went straight to where the three of them were.

They were so hungry that they were like zombies who had seen living flesh.

Although the three of them had also seen a big scene, this kind of battle was still unprecedented, and they all took a step back.

Finally, the crowd slowly stopped.

Theater manager Jerry Linden stepped forward quickly and shook hands with the three of them in turn.

He focused his gaze on Lu Shi and said, "Presumably this is Professor Lu." Ever since Buckingham Palace communicated with me about the script, I have been waiting for you to appear in the stars and the moon, and finally waited for me. ”

Lu Shi exchanged a few words with him, then sat down at random and handed over the script.

Lynden glanced at the title, a little surprised,

"Rome?"

He began to read the script carefully, while muttering to himself, reading out his lines from time to time to substitute for the character.

Soon, he finished reading the first act and said, "Professor Lu is really amazing. Frankly speaking, many people have tried to write scripts in popular everyday language, but without exception, they have failed. This "Roman Holiday" has no sense of disobedience. ”

George Bernard Shaw was curious,

"Zhan Rui, you haven't watched "Yes! Prime Minister? That one has already been popularized. ”

Linden shook his head,

"Political satire is still not the same as romantic comedy."

As he spoke, he beckoned to several actors,

"You're going to take a look at the script, too."

The actors had long been curious about what kind of script the magical Lu could write, and they all got excited to get together.

Lin Deng whispered to Lu Shi: "I value Professor Lu's script very much, so I want the top brand of the theater to support this play." But ......"

He lowered his voice,

"After reading the script just now, I think the casting of the heroine should be more cautious. After all, Princess Anne is a girl full of youthful energy, and it is very unconvincing to let an actor in her thirties play it. ”

Lu Shi agrees.

In the movie "Roman Holiday", the starring Audrey Hepburn is almost a newcomer, and the opposite actor is Gregory Peck, who has been nominated for the Oscar 4 times.

But it's this configuration that can also make classics.

It can be seen that acting skills are important, but the fit between the actor and the role is also very important.

Lu Shi asked, "Is there a candidate for Mr. Linden?" ”

Lyndon nodded, his gaze sweeping over the group of actors who were huddled together to read the script, and his gaze lingered on one of the girls.

The girl is very delicate,

Even, it can be said to be immature.

Lyndon introduced: "That girl's name is Phyllis Dyer, don't look at her young age, she is actually famous. Her starring roles in "Little Red Riding Hood" and "Fairy Tale World" have made the audience very obsessed. ”

Lu Shi was directly stunned,

"Little Red Riding Hood? Is it the Big Bad Wolf and Little Red Riding Hood? ”

Lyndon nodded,

"Yes."

Lu Shi gasped,

"Then tell me, how old is Miss Phyllis?"

Lyndon looked at Lu Shi strangely and said, "Phyllis is fourteen years old, is there any problem?" As far as I know, this kind of thing is very common in Professor Lu's country. ”

Lu Shi was speechless.

He cast his gaze on Phyllis again, his gaze froze, and he subconsciously said, "That...... Did she cry? ”

Lyndon was stunned, looked over, and then said, "Phyllis, how are you ...... I just discussed with Professor Lu about letting you star, it's good for you to come to such a show at a critical moment, you don't want this opportunity? ”

Hearing the opportunity to star, Phyllis struggled to hold back her tears,

But once the tears flow, how can it be so easy to hold them back?

The girl still looks like a squirming match.

Linden was a little angry,

"You ......"

Before the words fell, he was interrupted by Lu Shi,

Lu Shi asked Phyllis: "Miss, why are you crying?" Is it because there's something wrong with my script? ”

Phyllis pursed his lips,

"Nope."

The little daughter's mood is clear at a glance.

Lu Shi, Owen, Linden, and George Bernard Shaw exchanged glances, and then laughed,

They were all touched by the girl's natural outpouring of life.

Lu Shi said: "Lovely young lady, if there is anything bad about my script, you can point it out and let me correct it~"

These words are the tone of coaxing children.

Phyllis was a little annoyed, but was amused by Lu Shi and wanted to laugh,

She tried to keep her face strained and said, "Professor Lu, you obviously promised to write a romantic comedy, but why did "Roman Holiday" have such a tragic ending? Why didn't the princess and the reporter end up together? ”

Lu Shi was surprised,

"You read the script so fast?"

This was a question that stopped Phyllis.

Her face was flushed, she stuck out her tongue cutely, lowered her head and said in a coquettish tone, "I...... I watched the ending in advance...... I'm sorry! I'm sorry~"
