Chapter 153 'Roman Holiday'
"Princess Anne is the heir to the throne of a certain European country. Before she inherited the throne, she visited various European countries. The first stop was Rome. She really wanted to visit the beautiful scenery of Rome, but the attendants refused because of her noble status as a princess and it was not appropriate to appear in public. We also injected her with sedatives to make her fall asleep as soon as possible."
"The princess escaped from the window before the drug took effect and fell asleep on a bench next to the fountain in the square... At this time, an American reporter Joe Bradley passed by. He thought it was a The drunk girl took her back to her residence."
"Bradley saw Princess Anne's photo in the newspaper and thought it was a good opportunity to become famous; after Princess Anne woke up, Joe accompanied her to visit Rome and asked his friend Owen to help take pictures, but during the tour In the process, the spark of love sparked between Qiao and the princess..." Shen Long slowly told them the outline of the story.
As they talked, Audrey and Johnny were attracted by this story. Audrey couldn't help but ask, "So what happened next? Did Joe and Princess Anne get together?"
No matter when, the love stories between princes, princesses and common people will always make girls' hearts flutter, and Audrey Hepburn is no exception.
"The princess's bodyguard discovered that the princess was missing and immediately launched a search in Rome. They met the princess and Joe. Joe started fighting with them. The naughty princess also participated and had a great time... However, one day later, they had to separate. , the princess has to shoulder her own responsibilities, and Joe also decided to give up this opportunity and let Owen give the photo to the princess."
"At the press conference the next day, Joe was also present. They looked at each other affectionately. When a reporter asked the princess which city she liked best, the princess answered without hesitation, 'Of course it is Rome.' , because there are beautiful memories of her and Qiao here..." After the story was told, everyone fell into silence for a while.
"Although I know that Joe and the princess cannot be together, this story still makes people feel regretful." Audrey sighed slightly. In this era, the European royal families have not yet put down their high airs. Previously, King Edward VIII of England She was forced to give up the throne because she married Mrs. Simpson; it was obviously unrealistic for a princess to marry a commoner.
"Sometimes it is because of flaws that the story becomes long-lasting..." Shen Long said with emotion, but he did not want Hepburn to become his long-lasting memory. He asked again, "Audrey, I have been We are looking for a girl with a princess-like noble temperament to play Princess Anne. Are you willing to accept this role?"
"Fredo, this story is great. How come you have so many good stories in your mind? Let me play Joe! I will definitely play it well!" Johnny was also fascinated by the story, and he began to volunteer to play the role. Protagonist.
"No, no, no, Johnny, I decided to find a better actor than you to play this role." Johnny is a playboy. Shen Long didn't like him partnering with Hepburn, so he replaced him with Gregory Peck. Such a gentleman is okay, "In addition, I will invite William Wyler, who won the Oscar for Best Director twice for "The Home of the Brave" and "The Golden Age," to be the director of "Roman Holiday."
In this way, the golden triangle of "Roman Holiday" is completed, which can replicate the classics of the original work to the greatest extent. It goes without saying that the performances of Hepburn and Parker are classics when they stand there; and William Wyler should not be underestimated either. He will be a classic in the future.
He will also win the Oscar for Best Director for the third time for "Ben-Hur". In this award, his number of wins is second only to the great director John Ford who has won four times.
"Hey, I just won the Oscar for Best Actor last year. Is there anyone better than me?" Johnny looked angry. In fact, he knew that Fredo must have other plans.
Johnny's reaction aroused laughter from everyone. After laughing, everyone looked at Audrey Hepburn with envy. Why didn't such a good opportunity come to him?
"I may...may need to go home and discuss it with my mother." Audrey Hepburn began to feel excited, but such a big decision would definitely not be made in a short while. "In addition, Mr. Linden
The movie hasn’t been finished yet!”
Linden felt a sense of sadness in his heart. Compared with such a good story and William Wheeler's reputation, what was his short commercial?
"Don't worry about this. It will take some time to prepare for the movie. In addition, I will be traveling around Europe recently. Audrey, you can think about it slowly. In addition, if necessary, I will visit your family at your home and help convince them.
"Shen Long expressed his understanding.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Corleone. This is my home phone number. My home is in Anhem, the Netherlands. If you have passed by there recently, you are welcome to visit my home. I am still studying at the Anhem Ballet School." Audrey -
Hepburn took out a pen and paper and gave Shen Long her home phone number.
"Just call me Fredo, I'll be there." Shen Long carefully put away the phone number.
At this time, it was time for Johnny to leave. Shen Long was also about to take a flight to France to look for business. The two of them reluctantly said goodbye to Audrey and headed to the boarding gate.
"Bye Fredo, I will contact you at any time if there is any news." Hepburn held the business card, feeling as if she was in a dream.
"Well, this is my American phone number. I've been in Europe recently, but don't worry. As long as you explain your identity and intentions, they will find a way to convey it to me soon." Hey, it's inconvenient not to have a mobile phone.
, otherwise you can directly add Audrey Hepburn’s WeChat account.
However, inconvenient contact can also make people feel that every conversation is worth cherishing.
"Fredo, after returning to the United States, I will immediately have this script compiled, and at the same time contact William Wyler. By the way, who is the actor you mentioned who is better than me? I'm going to kick his ass!
" Johnny asked.
"Gregory Peck, who starred in Hitchcock's "Doctor Edward" with Ingrid Bergman and "The Deer Park" with Jane Wyman, was nominated for an Academy Award, and then you killed him
, but I must declare that you won the award not because you performed better than him." Shen Long joked.
