The rough cut of the film has been released recently, and there are no scenes that need to be re-shot, and Allen does not plan to keep Meryl any longer.
Before leaving, of course, I felt a little reluctant.
Now as I look at the photos, I think about Meryl's family.
Her husband is taking care of the children in America, and his wife, Alan, helps him take care of his wife in Wales.
When he thought about the bicycle that others rode carefully and even reluctantly, he could stand up and pedal as he pleased.
With this unique experience, Alan was particularly excited tonight.
…
February 2, 1987.
Followed by a sound of “Fuck…hiss…”
Alan did not sleep until he woke up naturally, but was awakened by a nightmare.
In his dream, he felt a snake staring at him, swaying from side to side. It first made a feint at him, but Allen dodged it swiftly.
But as he was retreating, the snake was chasing him closely. Just as he was about to look back, he saw the snake jump up and bite him.
But the expected pain from a snake bite did not come.
But...
It made him feel a little urgent to urinate.
He pushed his dazed right hand back, preparing to sit up and half lean against the headboard.
Alan moved and looked down slightly, only to find Meryl, who smiled at Alan and said, "Are you satisfied?"
“…”
Not particularly satisfied, and even a little scared, Alan looked at Meryl speechlessly.
It is said that men are like tigers at thirty and wolves at forty.
This old woman in her thirties is really as ferocious as a wolf or a tiger.
Before leaving, I don’t know if it was because of the new scene settings that were unlocked a few days ago, but Alan, who had nothing to do these days, spent most of his time in the bedroom, expressing his feelings of parting with Meryl.
…
"Then wake me up for a while. I'll read the newspaper first."
Alan straightened his waist to signal, then picked up the newspapers that had been stacked next to the bed for several days and pulled out the bottom one. There was a slightly smaller picture below the front page, which showed a group of people dancing a lion, and the building behind them was in Chinese style.
The caption says that the Chinese New Year is coming and the Chinese in Chinatown are celebrating.
"???"
Oh shit, is it the Spring Festival already? Confused, Allen looked at the date again. The Spring Festival had already passed for several days!
Alan, feeling somewhat annoyed, kicked Meryl's back with his heel.
The wake-up service was average, but the wake-up effect was good.
…
Alan was reading the newspaper, and Meryl was moving on her own, asking tentatively, "Alan?"
"Um?"
"Are you short of money recently?"
Allen was about to turn the page, but his hand paused for a moment, and turned to the next page, saying casually, "Why do you care about this? Have you booked the return ticket?"
We worked together on the set during the day and in the studio at night.
The two of them just have an ordinary, pure relationship as colleagues.
Alan rarely talked to Meryl about his private life, and it was even more impossible for him to tell her about family matters.
…
"You...I have some savings over the years, I can give them to you first."
"???"
Alan lowered the newspaper slightly, and Meryl and Alan's eyes met through the newspaper.
Looking at Alan's eyes, Meryl thought that he was angry because she stopped, and she looked at Alan with a puzzled look.
…
I invited you to film and slept with you, you should at least feel a little humiliated? !
Looking at Meryl who was working hard in front of him, Alan couldn't understand why she gave him money before leaving.
Do you look down on me?
Or are you ready to talk to me about love?
Talking about feelings is so hurtful.
The newly-cultivated atmosphere of noble lords oppressing common women was completely destroyed by Meryl's words.
…
During lunch, Alan instructed his servants to quickly buy Meryl a plane ticket back to America.
He just wanted to experience Lao Cao's life, but he didn't want to be Ximen Qing.
This American woman's train of thought is a bit dangerous, it's better to get rid of her quickly.
…
"Master."
"Um?"
Alan motioned for Hutt to sit down and said.
"Sir Capel called this morning and replied that His Royal Highness is planning to come hunting next week and asked you to prepare for the reception."
"???"
Putting down his chopsticks, Alan asked in confusion, "Hunting?"
In his letter to Charles, he only mentioned whether he needed some hares and pheasants sent to London. Unexpectedly, Charles wanted to come hunting himself?
Am I just crying everyday?
Bro, you actually took it seriously?
"We...this..."
Allen looked at Hut, nodded in Hut's helpless eyes and said: "Okay, then hurry up and get ready. Besides, is Your Highness the only one coming by himself?"
"Princess, little Prince William, both of you are coming. Sir Capel also asked me to pass on a message to you on behalf of Prince William. He told you not to forget the cow he sent."
“…”
This is simply too much!
Alan's mouth twitched. He wrote a letter crying miserably, but no one felt sorry for him. Charles, on the other hand, came with his family to eat and drink at his expense. Even William wanted to blackmail him? !
"Send someone to buy a cow! Do you know what to buy? Buy a small one, and I'll make the arrangements when the time comes!"
"Understood Master, I'll arrange it right away."
"What about the rest? Your Highness didn't say anything after reading the letter?"
Huth shook his head and said, "That's all Sir Capel said. Perhaps His Highness wants to wait until we meet in person before he speaks."
"Okay! I got it, go get ready."
…
Even the Prince of Wales might not even come to Wales once throughout the year.
Even though it was his territory, Charles hated Wales with a passion.
How much do you hate it?
His favorite Highgrove Manor was built on the English side, just a stone's throw from the Welsh border.
Such behavior even made many Welsh people feel humiliated.
…
As the car bumped along, Charles frowned slightly as he looked at the scenery outside the window.
I didn't see many cars along the way. The road conditions...
It’s hard to explain. No wonder Alan always complains about the inconvenience of traveling from Carmarthen to London.
In Charles' eyes, the whole of Wales was just a wilderness. Apart from the dilapidated fortresses that could be seen everywhere, the rest was endless hills with no human habitation within ten miles.
The entire area of Wales is only slightly larger than one-tenth of the total area of Guangxi Province in China.
In such a large area, there are only a few large cities with a population of nearly one million, and the rest of the country has a population of several hundred thousand scattered around.
These people are distributed in villages and towns.
Just imagine how empty the land would be if there were only so few people on such a large land.
There are four national parks in Wales, which are a paradise for small animals for this very reason - there is no one!
…
Butler Capel, who was sitting in the passenger seat, glanced at the road sign that flashed by, then leaned over and whispered, "Your Highness, we have entered Carmarthenshire."
"Well, go straight to Alan!"
