Box No. 1.
Margarita was a little excited when the Queen talked about romantic comedies just now, but she kept it in because she was worried that it would affect the Queen's enjoyment of the show.
finally,
The curtain slowly closed,
"yes! Prime Minister's second act ends.
"Huh~"
The queen let out a sigh of satisfaction,
"I have never laughed so hard since I can remember. The most rare thing is that "Yes! Prime Minister" is not only funny, but also very profound. Those in the Palace of Westminster, Whitehall and Downing Street are all laughing. You should come and see it.”
This is very high praise.
Lu Shi was always humble,
"Your Majesty, you are truly over the top."
Margarita on the side helped the Queen pour a cup of black tea and said, "But... I'm afraid "Yes! Prime Minister" can't be performed at the Royal Opera House, right?"
The queen nodded,
"Well, I'm afraid not now, because it's too sharp."
Margarita sighed,
"What a pity for Professor Lu's dramatic talent."
The queen raised her eyebrows, feeling that her granddaughter's words were on to something.
She lowered her head and thought for a while,
Suddenly, the corner of her mouth curved, and she joked: "If Professor Lu can write a romantic comedy, it will definitely be no problem to star in the Royal Opera House. It's just... Professor Lu's political satire is pungent. I think it is better than those romantic comedies." Erotic love dramas are much better.”
Margarita blushed instantly,
Because what the Queen said were her exact words,
Not a single word has changed about the phrase "political satire is pungent, and I think it is much more enjoyable than those romantic dramas."
Of course Lu Shi didn't know these inside stories.
He mused: "About love drama..."
Looking at his expression, Bernard Shaw couldn't help but feel excited,
"Lu, do you really have any good script ideas? Judging from the current acceptance level of the British public, romantic comedies will definitely have more audiences than political satires. Moreover, if it can be performed at the Royal Grand Theater, the spread will definitely be wider. wide."
When it comes to love, the first thing Lu Shi thinks of is "Titanic".
But it seems to have nothing to do with comedy;
Moreover, current shipping companies have not yet used large steam turbines as power. 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 Bernard Shaw beside him and decided to forget it, because "My Fair Lady" was adapted from Bernard Shaw's "Pygmalion".
Since I'm here, it's better not to play tricks in front of Guan Gong.
Just like that, the box fell into silence.
Not knowing how much time had passed, Lu Shi raised his head and found that everyone's eyes were focused on him.
He said: "It's not impossible. I named this story "Roman Holiday", which tells the story of Princess Anne who will visit major cities in Europe as the heir to the throne. The journey went smoothly and finally arrived at the last stop, Rome. Princess Anne wanted to enjoy herself Enjoy the beautiful scenery of Rome, but the attendants refused on the grounds that the princess's status is noble and it is not suitable to be exposed in front of the common people..."
In Lu Shi’s statement,
The princess in her wonderful years briefly escaped from the confines of the royal family, let loose her true temperament under the noisy sunshine on the streets, and greedily enjoyed the freedom of being a commoner.
She happened to meet a reporter and staged a Roman holiday,
During this short one-day trip, the princess and the reporter gradually fell in love.
But the happy time passed, and the princess knew that the relationship between the two parties could not last, so they returned to their respective life trajectories.
The story is over.
Bernard Shaw said solemnly: "What a good story. Let me ask, is the male reporter in it an American?"
Lu Shi was confused.
"Why do you say that?"
George Bernard Shaw laughed loudly,
"I think only Americans or French can do this kind of thing. Americans are more likely to do it."
Lu Shi was speechless,
In fact, the reporter Joe in "Roman Holiday" is indeed an American, and he has the audacity to kidnap the princess.
Moreover, what Bernard Shaw said is not wrong,
Americans always like to do this kind of thing when they write scripts. For example, in "Before Dawn", an American boy picks up a French girl.
Well, very American.
Margarita on the side sighed,
"Is this a comedy?"
The queen looked at her granddaughter and said helplessly: "Of course this is a comedy. Looking at each other affectionately, 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.
The Queen knew that her granddaughter had put herself into the role of Princess Anne, so she reminded her: "Aren't we discussing Professor Lu's creation of a romantic comedy? I think that if "Roman Holiday" can be performed at the Royal Opera House, it will definitely be popular. welcome."
These words awakened Margarita,
She was a little embarrassed and said "hmm" softly.
Fortunately, this embarrassment did not last long,
There was a knock on the door outside.
Stephenson frowned,
"Again!?"
Quickly walk over and open the door.
The waiter stood outside the door,
When he saw Stephenson, he immediately accompanied him and said carefully: "Sir, just now... um..."
Stephenson frowned,
"How are you hesitating? Say something quickly!"
So, the waiter passed Cecil's words intact.
The conversation between the two was transmitted into the box.
In an instant, the Queen's face darkened.
"Are you sure you pointed out 'The Imperial Margarita'?"
The waiter nodded like a pound of garlic,
"Of course, I didn't say anything extra."
As the saying goes, "A fire at the city gate affects the fish in the pond." When faced with a fight between gods and gods, the waiter would not dare to add any fuel to the fire.
The queen's expression became colder and colder,
a long time,
"snort!"
She snorted coldly and hid her figure in the armchair, but didn't say a word.
Is this the end?
Margarita whispered: "Grandma, this matter..."
I couldn't ask what happened next.
Because the air pressure around the Queen is so low, like Antarctic glaciers at dozens of degrees below zero, it seems to freeze everything.
Lu Shi looked at the queen and probably knew how to deal with it.
He asked the waiter: "That Mr. Salisbury is looking for me, isn't he?"
When Lu Shi spoke, the waiter let out a sigh of relief.
If Professor Lu is willing to go over and have a glass of wine to resolve this matter, that would be a great kindness.
The waiter nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, I'm here to find you."
Lu Shi chuckled,
"Well, then, you can bring a message to me, saying that I really have something to do here and I am too busy to do anything. If Mr. Salisbury really wants to have a drink with me, then let him come over and I will be in box number one. Wait for him."
The waiter was completely confused.
This shit...
The person in box number two is the British Prime Minister!
Unexpectedly, Lu Shi's arrogance never stopped, and he even increased the pressure: "By the way, tell Mr. Salisbury that we are all tea drinkers here and have not prepared drinks. Therefore, he needs to personally Bring some wine."
"Gu..."
The waiter swallowed loudly.
I have seen arrogant people, but I have never seen anyone so arrogant.
Today I met a great person.
Lu Shi waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't stay here. Why don't you go quickly?"
