Your Mightiness

Andrea wanted to choke Gabriel inexplicably, like a real bad friend, as if they were already familiar: "You know that August I's comfortable life in Cambridgeshire is actually not in his portrait How about perfection?"

Gabriel nodded: "I know."

In fact, anyone who has studied history knows that during the few years when August I was studying in Cambridge, the outside world has undergone earth-shaking changes. There are good things, and there are... not so good things.The correspondence between August I and Pope Leo X revealed a small part of the original history. August I always felt very guilty. He always felt that if he was in London, there must be different ending.

"The deepest despair in this world is nothing more than powerlessness." Andrea muttered to herself the original words in August I's letter.

His powerlessness is not that he really can't do anything, but that when he knows about it, everything has already been settled.What hinders him is not power, not wealth, but time.Just like Raphael in Unofficial History, there are rumors that he was an orphan abandoned by his biological father and adopted by Queen Isabella. When he knew that he had been looking for his biological mother, it was the death of the other party. .

"I have a different opinion on this." Gabriel stared at the oil portrait of August I.

Few people know that this world-famous portrait of an aristocrat is actually a pair, and the other one is hidden in the golden picture frame.The accompanying portrait is not big, it can just cover the entire heart of August I in the portrait.Once the content of the portrait is released to the public, it will definitely attract an earthquake-like influence, because it was his uncle Raphael who occupied the whole heart of August I in history.

"It's not August I who can't do anything," Gabriel has always thought since he learned the secret behind the portrait, "It's his lover who didn't do it well enough."

"His lover?" Andrea glanced at Gabriel suspiciously.

Gabriel shrugged: "It's just a kind of intuition. August I, who chose not to marry for the rest of his life, actually had a secret lover, but for some reason, he couldn't disclose it to the public. He changed it secretly. way, wanting to prove his love after a hundred years, but did not expect that the royal family has been keeping this secret as much as possible, until today."

"I have the same idea!" Andrea looked at Gabriel in disbelief. From the moment he was born, he always had a strange sense of mission. He wanted to reveal the real August I to the world.

"So, assuming that such a lover really exists, shouldn't his or her task be to protect his beloved? But he or her is too weak to let August I Blame myself. If it were me, I would never let my lover be sad, even for a second." When Gabriel said this, those dark eyes looked at Andrea all the time, as if in imply something.

This is an attachment that has spanned thousands of years, and only portraits can understand it.

Just when Andrea was about to say something, the door of the principal's office was pushed open, and a staff member poked his head in and breathed a sigh of relief: "God, so you are here."

"What?" Gabriel turned around, narrowing his eyes unhappy.

"Your mother called to check, and the director has a new idea..." The staff's words got stuck when she opened all the doors and saw Andrea standing next to Gabriel.Blonde hair, blue eyes, milk-like skin, red lips that are more delicate than petals, like a little prince walking out of a retro oil painting, just like August I behind him!

The staff immediately called the director: "You must come and see this, yes, this is very important! Master Gabriel happens to be here too. No, don't move, dear, I'm not talking about the director, I mean you."

Andrea stood in front of the principal's desk in a daze, not knowing why.

After the phone was hung up, the other party approached: "I haven't introduced you yet. My name is Julia. I'm an offline producer and part-time casting director. I'm a member of the family company of the friend next to you."

Gabriel didn't stop Julia from going on, because all of this was under his acquiescence and calculation.

"My name is Andrea." Andrea could only introduce herself instinctively, but still didn't understand the purpose of the other party asking him to stand here.

"Are you interested in acting, my dear Andrea?"

The director who arrived right after him sent out the same invitation to Andrea.

"what?"

Gabriel patted Andrea on the shoulder, and pointed to the oil painting of August I behind them: "Remember? As I told you before, the movie has never been able to find a suitable Augustus." The actors who played the first emperor, they are always unable to perform that kind of..."

"The feeling of 'one person has two mes, one is awake in the dark and the other is asleep in the light'." The director said truthfully.

Andrea continued to be confused. How did the other party manage to say every word in English, but after combining it, it was incomprehensible?

"This is a famous quote from Gibran." Gabriel explained Andrea's confusion.

"I need the two of you on camera together!" The director's inspiration reached a burst of sublimation after seeing Andrea and Gabriel standing side by side.

Julia couldn't help but want to twitch her mouth. Wake up, director, standing in front of you is one of the biggest funders of film investment. Tell me, do you want him to appear in front of the camera?

But the little guy named Andrea is still a little possible.

Andrea could tell Julia clearly, how could it be possible?Obviously it is 100% possible!He is not interested in acting, but he is very interested in participating in the wizarding world, not to mention playing August I, who he likes.

Gabriel was thinking about how to persuade Andrea if he disagreed, but it turned out that he didn't need to play at all.

Then, Gabriel made a decision that shocked Julia's jaw. He also wanted to play August I's uncle Raphael.

Gabriel will not show his face, only his back and hands.It not only protects Gabriel's privacy, but also corrects the age difference between Raphael and August in history.

Andrea's trip to summer camp turned into a film in one of the world's most profitable series. His parents flew to Cambridgeshire overnight. After confirming that their son really wanted to participate, they and The crew happily signed the relevant contract.

Andrea then began a hellish half-month of training.

"I thought I only needed to act in my true colors and be a good vase. The August I in the portrait wouldn't even be equipped with any magic wand." Andrea complained to Gabriel in private.

Gabriel also attended the training class and developed a real class friendship with Andrea: "Isn't it worse? I just need to show a back."

"That's right." Andrea laughed, "Then let's work hard together."

After many tripartite talks, the director, screenwriter, and author of the original work finally finalized how to shoot the easter egg that made "August I" a guest star.

It just so happens that the third one is the one with more moving portraits in the wizarding world, and the savior needs to find some clues through the guidance of a knight in the portrait.Originally, due to technical problems, the director had already planned to reduce the number of portrait shots.But now, because the investor has added additional investment and technical support, he has changed his mind.

Andrea wore the luxurious costumes in the portrait of August I, and stood under the big tree on the outside scene, with other extras.

Everyone dressed up, dressed in medieval costumes, and pretended they were partying in a painting of such a scene.

After the post-production synthesis, the actor who played the savior would walk up to the portrait to inquire, and then August I, played by Andrea, took the initiative to ask, and together with the mad knight, he gave the savior guidance.

The article will not specifically introduce that this is August I, but will use the mouth of the mad knight to describe it sideways.

"Be respectful to His Majesty the King, boy!"

"Quick, the scary guy is coming, let's go quickly."

"No, no, no, the king is not scary, but the guy next to the king with the name of an angel is scary."

Before the savior bid farewell to the king, the savior wanted to thank the king for his help, but he didn't even know the other person's name.

The king smiled and said, "Me? Just a little guy who did the right thing at the right time, no big deal. But even I know you, the Savior, and pay homage to you from the Middle Ages."

After finishing this sentence, Andrea only needs an elegant exit to complete the game.

From one side of the picture frame, a pair of perfect hands stretched out, and then a long shot, with the back of an invisible person leading the king and disappearing into the portrait together.

The filming went very smoothly, and Andrea was about to leave in three days.

When he boarded the plane home, Andrea always felt that everything that happened this summer vacation was like a midsummer night's dream. The tacit friend Gabriel.He will regard them as his best memories and keep them in his brain.

But that's it, the summer vacation will pass, dreams will wake up, friends will travel far away, maybe no one will find out that Andrea also played a role in the third movie after the third movie is launched. small role.

result……

As soon as he got off the plane, August, who had not had time to finish his sadness, received another call.

"What? Are you going to sign me? Aren't you a film company?"

"We can be more than just a film company, my dear." Julia reluctantly recited the lines according to Gabriel's instructions, hey, it's not good for the boss to be too young. Software companies do make money, and the group will be ruined by him sooner or later, "We are preparing to set up a brokerage company recently. I don't know if you are interested in learning about it. We have our own film company and are preparing to acquire a record company. The largest theater chain in the United States will definitely not let you worry about resources."

"But, but, I don't know how to act."

"It's okay, you can learn if you don't know how to act. What we are optimistic about is your potential." Under Gabriel's tight marking, Julia can be described as eloquent, trying to persuade Andrea with all her strength , "In fact, we have a very good script in hand now, and no one is more suitable to play the leading role than you."

"What script?"

""August I", a movie about him secretly saving Joan of Arc and resisting the witch trial with his friend Leo X who has not yet become Pope. How about it, are you interested?"

"!!!" If it's anything else, Andrea probably won't be tempted, but if it's August I on the screen...

"I'll send the script to your email, you can read it first."

Andrea quickly skipped the script and saw the last page - August I hid his secret lover in his heart.

At that moment, Andrea's hand holding the phone was trembling, and he knew inexplicably that it was this, this passage, which he most wanted the world to know.

……

A year and a half later, with the popularity of the secret behind the portrait of August I, "August I" starring Andrea landed in major theaters at the right time, and almost all the seats were sold out.

At the end of the movie, Augustus I sits on the throne, with the famous painter & sculptor Michelangelo painting him.In the portrait, he is sitting upright, as if looking into the distance.But only those present at the time knew that the focus of his eyes was actually the handsome man not far away, with a gentle smile and affectionate eyes.

"I want to tell the world that I love you and there's nothing to hide."
