British writer

Lu Shi thought he had heard wrong,

"Teach acting?"

He was stunned for a long while before remembering to bring people into the house.

At this time, Natsume Soseki had already tidied up the room and moved two chairs over.

Phyllis sat down with the middle-aged man.

"Meow ~"

We let out a lovely cry at Felice's feet.

Phyllis was surprised, lowered his head, and said subconsciously: "What a beautiful little guy."

Then he bent down.

I was not polite at all, and jumped directly into Felice's arms,

Afterwards, it yawned big, moved back and forth for a while, and then arched its head against Felice's chest, as if testing the comfort of the pillow, then lay down in a lazy posture, and took a nap with peace of mind.

Felice's eyes were full of joy, and he smiled innocently,

"Kitten~kitten~"

I swiped Felice's cheek with my tail coldly as a response.

Phyllis laughed even more foolishly,

"Hehehe..."

This girl obviously has the potential to be a cat slave.

We have new playmates, Lu Shi and Natsume Soseki are very happy,

Lu Shi poured tea for the two visitors.

The middle-aged man began to introduce himself to Lu Shi,

The man's name was Dwight Dale, Phyllis' father, and he worked in the courthouse as a clerk.

He reiterated the purpose of this trip again: "Professor Lu, I want to ask you to be Phyllis' acting teacher. Please accept it. Really, please accept it."

Repeated many times, expressing his sincerity.

Lu Shi was even more confused.

"That...Mr. Dale, you know I'm just a playwright, a novelist, a poet, a historian, right?"

Shente Meow's "just".

It is outrageous for a person with so many identities to use "just".

Phyllis glared at Lu Shi,

Obviously, she felt that Lu Shi was showing off by saying this.

Dale noticed his daughter's expression and scolded in a low voice, "Phyllis!"

The girl was helpless, she lowered her head and continued to tease us.

My generation was rubbed so that it meowed.

Natsume Soseki watched from the side, feeling very unbalanced,

When I was playing with my generation, my generation would show its claws from time to time, why is my attitude completely changed now that it is a different girl?

The little guy must be a tomcat!

Still a cat!

On the other side, Lu Shi said to Dale: "Mr. Dale, you asked me to be an acting teacher for Miss Phyllis. That's an emergency. I don't know anything about acting. Besides, Miss Phyllis is so popular. Do you still need to teach?"

Dale shook his head,

"Professor Lu, you are a great playwright, you must understand that popularity is only temporary, and acting skills are the last word."

This is very orthodox,

After all, the beginning of the 20th century was not modern, and actors could not rely on traffic to feed themselves, they had to have real things.

Lu Shi said, "But it's still the same problem, I don't know how to act."

Dale was all smiles,

"You are being modest. Mr. Linden, the manager of the Royal Opera House, has already told me that you are proficient in both method school and experiential school, and you are a master of both. He also told me, "Roman Holiday ", the design of the Mouth of Truth is your idea."

Speaking of the Mouth of Truth, Philistine blushed instantly,

She remembered that on the day of the first rehearsal, the male lead was suddenly bitten by a prop on his right hand, and she was really frightened.

The stress response at that time became what Mr. Linden called an "important experience".

Indeed, that experience made Phyllis unforgettable for life, and it also played an important role in the subsequent performances.

But she really didn't want to do it again.

Thinking of this, the girl glared at Lu Shi again,

This time she learned to be smart, moved the stool backwards, and hid in a position where her father couldn't see, and then she began to express her dissatisfaction.

Seeing it in Lu Shi's eyes, he couldn't help but want to laugh,

He said: "Mr. Dale, I think Miss Phyllis doesn't seem to want me to be a teacher. So I think you should respect her wishes."

Phyllis couldn't help feeling depressed for a while,

She never imagined that Lu Shi, a "gentleman", would make a small report,

Moreover, it is still a small report in person.

Dell frowned, looked back at his daughter, and said, "Phyllis, have you forgotten what I told you before going out? If you want to continue performing on stage, you must constantly hone your acting skills and seek advice from various famous teachers."

Saying that, Dale nodded slightly in Lu Shi's direction,

"Now, the famous teacher is right in front of you, how can you easily miss it?"

Because of the particularity of drama, playwrights are often excellent drama directors,

Moreover, being able to direct often means being able to act,

Coupled with the gem of the Mouth of Truth in front, Dale has already acquiesced that Lu Shi is the performer.

Phyllis is helpless,

"Father, there are already many people in the Royal Opera House who are willing to give me advice. I don't have to worry about improving my acting skills. On the contrary, my sister has always wanted to be on the big stage. Why don't you send her here and let Professor Lu be her teacher?" , isn't it quite appropriate?"

Phyllis' sister is Zena,

Zena Dyer's career has historically matched her sister's,

As a young girl she acted in pantomime in Scotland and even played Cinderella at Liverpool's Shakespeare Theatre.

Dale was obviously taken aback when Phyllis changed the subject,

For a few seconds, he was really thinking about getting Zena to apprentice to Lu Shi,

But soon he shook his head,

"No, today's matter has nothing to do with your sister, let's settle your matter first."

When these words came out, Phyllis was instantly discouraged.

When she secretly looked at Lu, she thought that it was all the fault of this bad guy. It was fine to ask Mr. Linden to arrange a leading actor to scare her during the rehearsal, but now she has to hold her head down and ask her to learn from him.

However, the girl has a little yearning,

The bad guy who can write "Roman Holiday" must be a romantic person,

It might be a good experience to learn acting from him.

For a while, Phyllis couldn't figure out what she wanted, but felt that Lu Shi was a little annoying and a little rare.

Seeing that his daughter stopped talking, Dale turned to Lu Shi,

"Professor Lu, look..."

Lu Shi suddenly had one head and two big ones, thinking about how to reject each other.

At this time, there was another knock on the door outside.

thump thump——

Natsume Soseki was surprised, and silently asked Lu Shi with his mouth: "I'm still looking for you?"

Of course Lu Shi didn't know either.

He just took the opportunity to think about ways to reject Dale's father and daughter, so he got up, said "Excuse me" to Dale, and walked over to open the door.

I saw an old gentleman standing outside the door.

He was well attired, with a bowler hat and buckskin gloves,

This outfit is definitely not cheap.

Lu Shi asked, "Excuse me?"

The old gentleman bowed to Lu Shi and asked, "Mr. Lu?"

Others now call Lu Shi "Professor Lu", but when Lu Shi first heard "Mr. Lu", he was not used to it.

He reacted for half a second before nodding,

"Yes, I'm Lu Shi."

The old gentleman smiles,

"Mr. Lu, hello, I'm Selent West from Oxford University. I heard that your purpose of coming to London for this visit is to study abroad, but you haven't settled in a school or college yet. So... I don't know Do you need a degree?"
