A week passed.
As expected, "Roman Holiday" is like a virus, spreading among the crowd,
It’s better than Yes! "Prime Minister" is going to be popular.
There is no way, discussing politics is the hobby of a few people after all.
But love is different,
Those who are not married long for pure love, those who are married recall the pure love of the past, or exciting extramarital affairs.
Managers of theaters in various regions rushed to London and tried their best to meet Lu Shi. They gave money and trusted relationships, just to get Lu Shi's approval so that "Roman Holiday" could be performed in their theaters. show.
The streets of London have reached the point where "no one knows Roman Holiday".
Phyllis, who plays Anne, is of course a hit;
The name of script writer Lu was originally only well-known in a relatively small range, but now it has begun to become popular among the people.
…
Breya Road.
Lu Shi was lying on the table typing "Roger's Mystery" on a typewriter.
In fact, the book is basically completed, with only some final improvements left.
When he was writing "No Survival", he was relatively free and could write while serializing.
Nowadays, he is getting busier and busier, and often has no time to spare. Therefore, it is best to finish the entire book before starting to serialize it, in order to prevent being interrupted by various unexpected things, causing the update to be interrupted.
Of course Cooper also supports it.
He has always had a good attitude towards cash cows.
Lu Shi stretched himself.
at the same time,
"Meow~"
I jumped on his lap.
Lu Shi stretched out his hand, rubbed the fleshy balls on my paws, and touched my smooth fur.
We couldn't help but make a "snoring" sound.
On the other side, Natsume Soseki said with some jealousy and dissatisfaction: "This little guy is serious, why does he like you so much?"
Lu Shi smiled and said,
"It's not as good as what I feed it."
I seemed to understand, flopping on Lu Shi's lap and acting coquettishly.
In this regard, Natsume Soseki had no choice but to do so.
Because Lu Shi's income is high, he buys all kinds of chicken, duck, and fish food for us, which is delicious and nutritious. It makes our cat's hair shiny.
In this case, of course I prefer Lu Shi.
Natsume Soseki muttered: "You are so heartless."
Lu Shi couldn't help but laugh,
"Okay, don't be like a cat."
Of course Natsume Soseki doesn’t really hate me.
He changed the topic: "By the way, your "Roman Holiday" has been highly discussed in major newspapers. Of course, there are some who criticize it, but there are more people who approve of it."
As he spoke, Natsume Soseki shook out a stack of newspapers and handed them over.
Lu Shi flipped through it casually.
Not only are the "three kings" the Times, the Daily Telegraph, and the Manchester Guardian, but there are also some newspapers and magazines that I have never heard of.
"The Star",
"Saturday Review",
"black and white",
…
Lu Shi asked: "What are these?"
Natsume Soseki replied: "These newspapers and magazines have all reviewed "Roman Holiday". By the way, there are even manga magazines in it."
Lu Shi picked one out and read it.
"
'"Roman Holiday" tells a fairy tale-like story, but gives a very realistic ending'...
"
There is a slight sense of tragedy in this short review.
Natsume Soseki echoed: "I think it's quite objective, and it's a good point."
Lu Shi asked: "How?"
Natsume Soseki replied: "Even though I had read your script a long time ago and knew the ending, when watching the fourth act, I still couldn't help but keep staring at that corner, hoping that the princess would run out. But she didn't. That's why. It’s a classic.”
Lu Shi chuckled,
"It's only been a week since the show, so why is it already a classic?"
Natsume Soseki gave a shallow "hmm" and said: "If we discuss "Yes! Prime Minister", I won't necessarily say it is a classic, because it is too early. But "Roman Holiday" is destined to be a classic in different eras, different regions, People from different backgrounds will resonate with it and be deeply moved by it."
All I can say is that although the theme of love is old-fashioned, it is also timeless.
Lu Shi continued to read the newspaper,
The paper made a "squeaking" sound.
Natsume Soseki asked: "If you are looking for critical drama reviews, you might as well read more magazines from various universities, especially Oxbridge."
Lu Shi Congshan rummaged through it and read it carefully.
Oxford and Cambridge are indeed the two most awesome universities in the UK, with endless free discussions.
For example, an Oxford magazine called "Punch" had two different voices regarding Lu Shi's "Roman Holiday":
Supporters believe that Lu Shi was the founder of the sect, and "Roman Holiday" is both an innovative and classic work. As time goes by, more and more playwrights will become believers in "Roman Holiday". Create as a basis;
Opponents thought "Roman Holiday" was bland, and they even doubted whether there was real love between the princess and the reporter.
Natsume Soseki asked: "Have you seen it?"
Lu Shi nodded,
"After reading it, I didn't expect it to be quite well-written."
Natsume Soseki spread his hands,
"This is the great thing about literary critics. They are very tricky and can always find holes. Sometimes, even you, the writer, will be convinced."
Lu Shi thought about the college entrance examination before time travel.
Reading comprehension in Chinese language exams often involves questions such as "What is the author's intention in expressing this way?"
As a result, when I asked the author himself, he was confused.
Lu Shi read out loud,
"There is no innovation in the structure of "Roman Holiday". Lu just told a story very skillfully. From an ideological point of view, it just reflects the disparity in social status that destined certain loves to only sparkle and not bear fruit..."
Natsume Soseki chuckled,
"Look, it makes sense. The later part of the argument about doubting whether there is love between the princess and the reporter is wonderful~"
Lu Shi continued reading: "Their social status is very different, and both parties are just looking for freshness in each other. This freshness brings them closer to each other, resulting in some special feelings, but is it considered love? Maybe, It would not be against the law if it were a prince going out hunting for women and seducing village women."
The house fell into silence,
"..."
"..."
"..."
After a while, Natsume Soseki said: "Don't look at me, I haven't talked about it."
His marriage is not free love,
However, it is said that he and his wife have a deep relationship, which can be regarded as a model of marriage first and love later.
Lu Shi looked at the author of the article,
is a professor of literature at Oxford.
In fact, it’s normal to have criticism.
As Shakespeare said, "There will be a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand readers." There will always be people who, after reading "Roman Holiday", are still unable to be moved by Anne's first love affair or Joe's prodigal return.
It was impossible for Lu Shi to press people's heads and force them to applaud.
Then it really becomes the reading comprehension for the college entrance examination.
He casually put "Punch" aside and said, "It's good to have criticism..."
Halfway through the words, there was suddenly a knock on the door outside.
Dong dong dong——
No illness, no slowness.
Natsume Soseki stood up, and while tidying up the bed, he asked Riku Shi, "Have you made an appointment?"
Lu Shi shook his head,
"without."
He walked over and opened the door,
I saw Phyllis Dale standing at the door,
Behind her stood a man less than forty years old.
The man stretched out his hand towards Lu Shi and said eagerly: "You are Master Lu Shi, right? Felice wants to learn acting from you."
Lu Shi:? ? ?
