British 1986

Chapter 294 Kate Winslet

"Um?"

Kate Winslet was subconsciously nervous when she heard Allen's inquiry.

She comes from a family of actors. Her parents, uncles, and grandparents are all professional actors. Her whole family is an actor, and she has been exposed to this aspect since she was a child.

She started acting in stage plays when she was five years old. Later, when she got a little older, when she was eleven years old, she borrowed some money from her grandma, her grandmother, and signed up for a drama academy to start school.

After studying for two years, she was able to make money on her own, and she could take on advertising shoots by herself.

Regardless of how she picked it up, this is an extremely precocious, courageous and independent little girl with a strong ability to take care of herself.

To put it another way, drama is actually one of the performance forms of stage dramas. Traditional stage dramas have many more forms of expression than dramas. If you want to stand firm in this, you must not have some level of skill.

In this way, while accepting advertisements, she went to school at her own expense until this year, when Kate Winslet graduated.

With the connections she has made in the industry over the past few years, Kate Winslet is eager to find a crew to take over the role. She wants to make a lot of money, make movies, and become famous!

Then she happened to meet Catherine Zeta Jones, a senior who used to perform in stage plays, and this senior brought her to Allen's crew.

Kate Wensley, who had just joined the crew, was very excited, but actors like them, who were born in stage plays, needed a short adaptation period when they first came into contact with movies.

After all, she used to stand on the stage and face the audience directly when acting, but now she faces the camera directly with no audience.

Fortunately, the senior sister took care of her and took her with her for a few days, and Kate Wensley quickly adapted to it. However, due to the subject matter, Kate Wensley, who has been on the set recently, is a little afraid of Allen. She I don’t know why, but this aristocratic gentleman is very powerful. To be honest, everyone in the entire crew, including the already famous director Cameron, had to hold him carefully.

With this understanding, Allen now contacted Kate Wensley and even took the initiative to invite her, which made Kate Wensley even more uneasy. She didn't even dare to refuse. In addition, William just said The problem is that it feels like you are risking your life for gossip.

"I have been on the set for so many days. I see that William just wanted to ask you a question. Why don't you come back with me for dinner today? You don't want to?"

Allen's face was expressionless and his tone seemed very casual, but he was used to giving orders, so his words unconsciously carried a feeling that he could not refuse.

William next to him gave Kate Wensley a push, signaling her to agree quickly.

"Okay. Okay, thank you for the invitation."

Kate Wensley looked around and agreed very obediently.

There were huge mats placed in a circle on the lawn in front of the manor, and in the open space in the middle, there was a huge pile of meat!

This is the first time Kate Winslet has seen such a big barbecue.

This is different from the skewers of barbecue you used to eat. This one has a huge skewer standing there, and then thin slices of meat are laid out and stacked on top of the skewer.

There is also a large rolled iron sheet standing next to the fire below. There are rows of carbon grids on the iron sheet surrounding a large bunch of giant barbecues. The fat on the barbecue flows along the almost solid meat slices. The chef next to him was laboriously turning the barbecue, and dripping fat fell onto the fire below and sizzled. Just this atmosphere seemed to increase appetite.

Today, in order not to put too much pressure on Kate Winslet, Allen did not have a formal meal with a lot of rules, but planned to have a barbecue at home.

This is a newly recruited chef from Uzbekistan. His specialty is this dish, and he is known as the leader in their barbecue industry - shawarma barbecue.

The main thing is a dish that looks shocking and tastes delicious. Anyway, Allen has never eaten authentic shawarma barbecue before. He has only eaten similar Brazilian barbecue in self-service barbecue restaurants, but the meat skewers are better than This one is much smaller. The meat skewer standing in front of you is thicker than a torpedo. As the cook turns the meat skewer like a top, the fragrant smoke smell plus the meaty aroma emanating from the beef.

Don’t talk about that feeling.

William twitched his nose while paying attention to Allen, and then pulled Kate Winslet to whisper.

While Kate Winslet responded to William, she secretly looked at Allen sitting next to him.

Eliminating a trace of nervousness in her heart, Kate found that this aristocratic man looked better and better as he looked at her. He was very much in line with her aesthetics. He was a bit like the Prince Charming in the fairy tales often performed in stage plays. Well, that’s not right. He looked more like Prince Charming. Prince Charming!

It seems that Allen is not so fierce when he is not on the set.

The person looked pleasing to the eye, and Kate Winslet's heart was no longer on William's gossip. She suppressed the smell of barbecue and treated William while quietly sizing up Allen.

A simple barbecue, the four of them chatted while eating. Anyway, Allen was mainly responsible for listening. Basically, he listened to Kate Winslet telling anecdotes about her various stage plays outside.

They were all trivial matters. Although Allen didn't care, the two young men, William and Harry, were very interested in them and listened to them with great interest.

They always let Kate do the talking, but Kate was already a little impatient. She didn't even bother to say a few words to Allen, and kept talking to these two little brats.

"Okay, you guys can chat for a while and then go take a shower and change clothes. It's time for William to take etiquette lessons, right? Harry! Don't be too playful. He'll take piano lessons later."

Allen stood up, arranged his two stupid brothers, and then he was about to leave. Then he pretended to just remember, stopped, and said in Kate Winslet's expectant eyes: "Miss Kate, if you If you are not in a hurry to go back, you can stay in the guest room tonight, or you can come to my study to chat with me later. I want to wash up and change clothes, so I have to leave first."

"."

Kate nodded subconsciously and said nothing, feeling a little ashamed of herself.

She has played nobles before, but she has never been exposed to them, especially top nobles like Ellen, William and Harry.

And it was such a close contact, and we even had dinner with them.

When we had barbecue together just now, we all chatted together and didn't notice any sense of distance. But after the meal, Kate discovered the gap from Alan's few words.

Who would go out of their way to wash up and change clothes after eating barbecue?

Moreover, these two princes, even if they have to take etiquette classes and piano lessons in the evening, this is too much.

Anyway, this kind of life has gone beyond her knowledge. Fortunately, Allen retained her and allowed her to live here tonight. This made Kate a little happy. She was already brave enough to be with the nobles, and the other party was still a high-ranking official. She wants to have a good relationship with the "well-known director"!

"Dear Aunt"

After Allen took a shower and changed his clothes, he went to the study room, picked up a pen and paper, and started writing furiously.

First, he urged Diana, his chief food appraiser, to quickly finalize the meal plan for the upcoming French restaurant.

This request has been made to her for a year. Every time Diana responded quickly and quickly, but every time after waiting for a while, there was no result.

I don't know if she forgot, or if she was really striving to make the selection carefully. In the past, it was okay to put it off, but now the staff is almost fully trained and the food menu has not yet been determined. Allen is really anxious.

After talking about the important things first, Allen continued to complain about the living environment and catering hygiene in India, fully expressing his concerns.

There is less than half a year left before his visit to India, and Allen wants to change his way of travel.

He didn't want to go by plane, because if he flew there, he would have to have food and accommodation there. Allen didn't know if Boss Cha was really big-hearted. Anyway, Allen was a little resistant to India.

Especially when thinking about the Ganges River water that basically contains the periodic table of elements, Allen's scalp goes numb. The royal family has a cruise ship. They can definitely take the cruise ship there a few days in advance, and it's not far away.

If you take a cruise ship, at least the living environment and food will be safe.

So Allen complained to Diana in a letter, hoping that Diana would stand with him and complain about India's food safety issues. When the time comes, they will be two-on-one. He hopes that Boss Cha can change his mind and just treat it as a trip. Everyone will be happy. I would rather take a cruise than fly.

After writing this paragraph, the rest is about William.

Just as I was about to start writing, there was a knock on the study door.

"Dong dong dong"

"Come in!"

After Allen finished speaking, he looked up casually, thinking it was a servant coming to deliver tea, but just like that, he realized that the person who came in was not a servant, but Kate Wen, who was wearing a short floral skirt. Slater!

When she was on the set, she usually wore looser clothes, which were in line with the characteristics of Canadian civilians of that era. Now, after changing clothes, Kate Winslet put on this slightly tight floral skirt, and her figure was undoubtedly revealed.

In a word, little meat bomb!

Coupled with the long wavy blond hair that is a little damp, it looks very sexy.

She has the feeling of a country young woman, but now Kate Winslet has a very tender face and a little toughness, which makes this feeling more like a country girl. This is not a derogatory term for a country girl, but a flower girl type. The village girl gave Allen a feeling of Xia Yuhe by the Daming Lake.

He is used to seeing all kinds of attractive and well-dressed members of the opposite sex. This is the first time that Allen has seen a member of the opposite sex with this kind of temperament. Now, with just one glance, Allen sniffed, not to mention... quite good-looking.

With both excitement and curiosity, Kate Winslet followed the servant through the dark corridors. There was only the slight breathing of the servant and the footsteps of the two of them. The quiet castle in the evening was filled with excitement. It feels like someone is about to be swallowed up.

Fortunately, she hadn't gone very far. In a bright spot in the distance, there was a large solid wood study door. There were two servants on duty standing at the door. The servant who was leading her said something to one of the servants on duty in a low voice. Then he gently knocked on the study door.

After a faint sound came from the door, the servant who led her turned around, smiled at Kate Winslet, opened the study door, and said to Kate Winslet to come in. gesture.

As soon as she entered the study, Kate Winslet blinked. The entire study was not particularly large, about the same size as her home. The light was not dazzling, but very soft and warm.

The entire study is full of historical atmosphere. As soon as you enter the door, you can see two oil paintings hanging on the walls on both sides.

Facing her was an extremely large, polished solid wood desk. On both sides of the desk were bookcases reaching to the ceiling, with various books and information displayed on them.

There are several chairs in front of the desk, and some documents are piled on the large desk. On the table on one side of the desk, there is also something like a cushion. The fat white snowy owl that William is holding today is now Just lie down on this mat and sleep.

Other owls sleep with one eye closed, but this one has both eyes closed, and even the sound of opening the door does not disturb it.

Seeing him coming in, Earl Allen raised his head slightly, and then in his eyes, Kate Winslet could feel that Allen's eyes changed from not caring, to admiring, to slightly passionate, but this This kind of heat only appeared for a short moment and then disappeared.

Seeing this look, Kate Winslet lowered her head slightly, a little embarrassed. She didn't even think that she had just finished washing and changed into the clothes prepared by the maid. Then why didn't she go back to rest? Instead, the maid ordered her to After bringing her to see Allen, Kate Winslet became nervous again when she arrived in the study.

"Come sit down and say, what would you like to drink?"

Allen's somewhat hoarse and low voice came. Kate lowered her head slightly and walked slowly to Allen's desk. She took a look at the information on the table and saw that Allen was holding a very gorgeous piece of letter paper. It seems like you are writing a letter?

However, due to the problem of perspective, she could not read the content of the letter clearly.

"I'd like some coffee."

Kate Winslet's face turned red as soon as she finished speaking. She usually likes to drink coffee, but that was during the day, and it was already night now. She couldn't even imagine how she blurted out that she wanted coffee.

However, the expected ridicule did not come, instead Alan's voice was heard.

"Drinking coffee at night affects your sleep. Let me give you a cup of rose tea, which will help with your beauty."

"Oh well."

Kate Winslet nodded and glanced secretly at Allen, who had already lowered his head.

Smiling and giving instructions to the servant who was still at the door, Allen put down his pen and prepared to ask about William first. He was also a little curious about what William said to Kate Winslet.

"You want me to secretly tell you the secret that William told me?"

Kate Winslet raised her head suddenly, no longer caring about her shyness. This request was a bit embarrassing. She promised William to keep it a secret for him!

But looking at Allen who looked expectant, Kate Winslet was embarrassed to refuse.

After hesitating for a moment, Kate Winslet said the second sentence today that made her feel a little embarrassed.

"What do I get paid?"
