Chapter 364 London Party
Wood pulp shattered the calm lake of Orthorpe Manor, and the boat stopped on the simple dock. Ryan jumped ashore first, helped Nicole up, and then picked up the flowers they brought.
"Mr. Jenkins, Miss Kidman, please do not disturb the princess for too long." Mr. Djoerman, who rowed and sent them over, told him.
Nicole nodded, took Ryan's arm and walked towards the cemetery.
After putting down two bouquets of cornflowers, Ryan held Nicole and stared quietly at Diana's image on the stone wall. Both of them were silent. The funeral that caused a sensation in the world more than a year ago seemed to be yesterday.
"May God bless you!" Nicole's lips rolled, as if praying for Diana in heaven.
After the glitz disappeared and the noise stopped, there was only quiet by Diana.
This is where Diana grew up. She rests here in peace. I am afraid that after she leaves this world, the past will be forgotten after being forgotten?
Ryan knew that Diana could not escape the fate of celebrities after all, especially her bizarre way of death, which became the focus of discussion after the funeral. Various statements almost completely suppressed the official voice, and the British royal family also suffered a lot of pressure.
Curiosity is human nature after all. Over the past year, people have made money have emerged one after another. Various unofficial and unauthorized memoirs of Princess Diana are flooded almost every corner of the Western world. The most active one is one of Ryan's partners, Tina Brown, editor-in-chief of "Vanity Fair".
The editor-in-chief has published many books about Diana and published quite a few secrets, including fake and real. She even found Nicole and wanted to find out more so-called inside stories, but was rejected by the Australian girl.
In fact, after attending the funeral, all the people who really had a good relationship with Diana closed their mouths and almost stopped talking about things related to Diana.
Due to the rules of the royal family and the Spencer family, Ryan and Nicole stayed for a total of ten minutes before leaving the island where the cemetery was located. After taking a boat to return to Althorpe Manor, they politely declined the retention of Earl Spencer.
Returning to London from Northampton, it was a drive away. Nicole sat next to Ryan and took off her black veil hat, as if she was feeling a little emotional.
"Diana wanted to pursue true love during her lifetime. But has she ever received true love?"
This question is not to be answered by Ryan. The answer is too obvious. After Diana's death, her ex-lovers were more active than the other. They couldn't wait to sell the process of dating Diana to the tabloids. They were even more crazy than the media making money.
Diana's legendary life and abnormal way of death determined that in many years, people would always be asked to hype and report. After a while, this topic would not be so sensitive in the hearts of the British people, and would become a popular topic for Hollywood producers.
In the next few days, Ryan still repeated her diet, exercise, practicing swordsmanship, and occasionally going to the set to check out her work status. Nicole was busy sending invitations and preparing to hold a grand party.
Now Nicole Kidman is not a young actor who temporarily lives in London in the late 1980s. No one dares to ignore the identity of Oscar winner, director of Jenkins Film and Paramount Pictures.
The party was chosen at the Hilton Hotel in London. The night it was held can be described as star-studded. Hundreds of reporters surrounded the hotel and almost turned it into the venue for the British Film Academy Awards.
Seeing Nicole dressed in gorgeous clothes and socializing easily among the crowd in the banquet hall, Ryan sighed with a little emotion that her communication skills were completely tempered, and Nicole seemed to be born to adapt to such occasions, and only such occasions can highlight her charm.
He couldn't help but remember Nicole once said that if she was tired of Hollywood in the future, she would move to the farm in Queensland. If she was tired of Hollywood, it might take an Australian girl twenty years, thirty years or even longer. A month would be enough to get tired of the peaceful life of the farm.
Ryan was very sure of this.
"Hi, Ryan." The voice from beside him interrupted Ryan's random thoughts. He came to his senses and smiled at the opposite side, "Hi, Ralph, long time no see."
The person who came was Ralph Fiennes, the murderer in "Schindler's List".
Seeing him, Ryan's eyes turned, but he had a special role for him.
"Liam and I just came back from vacation."
Ralph Fiennes pointed to Nicole, and the tall Liam Neeson was greeting Nicole.
"Where are you going? Is there anything fun?" Ryan asked in cooperation.
"I went to Southeast Asia." Ralph Fiennes shook his head, "It's not fun to say, I just saw some culture that is different from us."
"Have you finished the holiday preparation?" Ryan suddenly laughed.
"You have a suitable role?" Ralph Fiennes's eyes lit up, "Ryan, we are old friends."
Ryan's smile suddenly became mysterious and deliberately circled around Ralph Fiennes, and suddenly spoke as the other party became more and more surprised.
"You know, Ralph, you have a very charming trait."
"Celebrity? Are you sure you are not talking about yourself, Ryan?" The tall Liam Neeson walked over at this time.
"I understand." Ralph Fiennes thought about something and spread his hands and said, "Ryan, you might as well say that I am suitable to play an evil bad guy."
"I still remember the sexy and charming devil in Schindler's List." Ryan shook his finger, "So, I think there's a character that suits you too."
Ralph Fiennes made a gesture of not keeping it aside, please tell me.
"Ralph, play Voldemort." Ryan said temptingly, "This is a role I reserved for you."
"Oh, God, it's so honorable." Ralph Fiennes couldn't help but cover his forehead, "Can I not say thank you?"
"sure."
Ryan deliberately made an exaggerated smile, "Wow, I've gotten the hardest actor in the movie. Director Columbus should thank me."
"Hey, Ryan, I haven't agreed yet."
Hearing Ralph Fiennes's words, Ryan spread his hands, "But you didn't refuse, Ralph."
Being able to handle Voldemort's candidate was also a surprise at the party. Some time ago, the crew contacted Ralph Fiennes's agent, but it was delayed until now because he was on a trip.
When the banquet was halfway through, the arrival of another person caused a sensation in the audience, and Ryan was amazed at Nicole's communication skills. Although the other party came here more for the sake of his deceased mother, being able to come in person rather than being represented by someone is enough to show his importance to Nicole, the owner.
"May God bless you, Your Highness." Ryan and Nicole quickly met him.
"Ryan, Nicole, you're welcome."
The public relations crisis about a year ago brought a lot of changes to the royal family. William was the spokesperson for the Windsor family to the front. Over the past year, the royal family has spent a lot of effort to help him create a people-friendly image.
William himself performed very well, becoming the most popular figure in the royal family after Princess Diana.
"Grandma is very happy that Harry Potter finally chose Britain."
No matter how friendly he was, William was the owner of the future Kingdom of Great Britain. The lively banquet hall suddenly became quiet. Most of the people watched the three people in the venue after saying hello.
"It's my honor, Your Highness." Ryan did impeccably in the etiquette.
Prince William came and went in a hurry. After talking about the past with Nicole, he stayed for less than ten minutes and said goodbye and left.
"You sent an invitation to the royal family?" On the way to send William away and back to the banquet hall, Ryan asked Nicole.
"I sent the invitation only out of etiquette, and I didn't expect the royal family would really send someone." Nicole was obviously a little surprised.
"The royal family is also making corresponding changes."
Elizabeth II has experienced so many ups and downs, how could he not understand that sometimes flexibility is a necessary choice, "William is the spokesperson for the royal family to push it to the front desk."
In today's era of advanced information, the royal family is no longer as mysterious as before. To a certain extent, it is somewhat similar to Hollywood stars. Every move can easily attract people's attention. If they want to maintain their position, they must not only rely on tradition, but also have the support of the people.
The one who is in charge of No. 10 Downing Street is determined to abolish the privileged status of the Windsor royal family.
No matter what they did, Ryan would definitely stay away from him. He would neither let himself nor Nicole get involved in this muddy water.
The party also announced that Nicole's itinerary in London had come to an end. She made an appointment with several same-sex friends and besties, rented a small island in the Hawaiian area, and prepared to start enjoying her long vacation.
At the same time, news came from Poland that the crew of "Pianoist" was ready in advance and the filming will officially start after Ryan arrived.
In fact, before Ryan could go, Roman Polansky had already started a trial shooting. In many scenes of this movie, Spearman is a bystander, and a large number of fragmented shots require post-editing and pinching together.
Because Ryan asked someone to say hello in advance, the Polish government has done a very serious job in the security work of the crew, and I don’t think there will be a large-scale protest incident between the Poles when filming "Schindler's List".
"Ryan, when I finish my vacation, I will go to Warsaw to accompany you."
"Let's wait for the Oscars." After a while, the Oscars ceremony will be held, and both Ryan and Nicole will attend.
"All right."
