Chapter 304 Princess Diary
“It’s time to go to school!”
“Stop daydreaming, you’re going to be late!”
Early in the morning, an ordinary person in San Francisco In the community, a luxurious limousine roared past. The noble status could be seen from the guards opening the way and the diplomatic flag hanging on the front of the car, but all of this had nothing to do with Mia, who was about to turn sixteen.
Mia, an ordinary middle school student, has troublesome afro curly hair, a pair of black-framed glasses and caterpillar-like eyebrows, which has a comic-like comedy effect. Plus, with braces, she can’t speak without words. You can imagine what life such a child will experience in middle school.
The fact is, this is also true -
No one knows her name, and no one pays attention to her existence. Some people even cannot see her at all and even sit on her by mistake.
At school, except for her good friend Lily and Lily's brother Michael, Mia is a complete invisible person and a freak.
By the way, Lily and Michael are weirdos too.
Lily has a weird hairstyle and a punk-style rebellion, and seems to be exploring her own style.
Michael is a nerd with a Beatles haircut who holds a pile of thick books and reads them all the time.
Poof.
When Gloria saw "Michael", she couldn't help but doubt her eyes. Although she already burst out laughing when she saw Anson's mushroom hair style in the trailer, but when she actually saw it in the movie I still can’t help it——
It’s so funny!
However, the problem is that even so, Anson is still handsome.
He has a rebellious but elegant unique temperament. As soon as he casually stands in the crowd, his height, body shape, proportions and halo will firmly catch his attention.
At least, that's what Gloria thinks.
Anyway, Anson is completely in line with Gloria's aesthetic point of view. He can easily affect Gloria's mind and sink uncontrollably:
Such a classmate, even if Carrying a backpack, even if he is immersed in the world of rock and roll, even if he is holding a large book and reading all the time, even if other middle school students think he is a geek and a nerd, in Gloria's view , still refuses to believe that he is a marginalized person.
Not convincing at all!
snort!
In front of the school, those laughing and noisy figures look like circus clowns, and Gloria is always keen to find that figure in the crowd.
It’s just... Michael’s eyes were watching Mia like a shadow, his bright eyes flashing slightly because of Mia’s every move.
What a pity.
Mia didn't notice Michael. Her eyes were like magnets following Josh, the popular figure in the school, and Lana, the cheerleader who kept exchanging words intimately with Josh. Together, we explore the mysteries of curves and temperature with each other.
Mia couldn't help but fantasize, if she were Lana...
Fantasy is just a fantasy.
The reality is that Mia is a "curly ball". Mia is the girl who stands in front of everyone to give a speech but vomits on the spot and becomes the laughing stock of everyone. Mia does not dare to stand in the choir. The coward who dared to speak out——
But Michael gave her the courage.
Michael sat at the piano and accompanied the choir.
No one noticed Mia's uneasiness and loss, including Lily, who was concerned about her environmental career, but Michael noticed.
Michael hesitated for a moment and looked at Mia without avoiding his eyes. The pair of azure glasses hidden behind the bangs seemed to be able to speak. There were no special movements or expressions, but they seemed calm and profound. Like the Aegean Sea, gentle and brave as a backing.
Quietly, standing in place, became Mia's harbor.
Mia was a little surprised. Her eyes flickered slightly, but she did not dodge. She stared at Michael. Slowly, she began to open her mouth and sing loudly. She regained some confidence and smiled slightly. Dots creep up the corners of your mouth. The tacit understanding between childhood sweethearts surges in the air.
It has to be said that Gary Marshall does have two skills:
The narrative is highly efficient. He uses the simplest and most efficient lens to complete the narrative without too much fancy. The characters and relationships are presented right before his eyes. And it firmly grabs attention in a mediocre story.
At first, Gloria thought it was a story about the ugly duckling; then she thought it was a story about Cinderella, and now it seems to be a fairy tale version of "When Harry Met Sally". The clichéd character setting faintly breaks the frame, and the familiar story is unfolding in a slightly different way, and gets to the point before the audience loses their attention.
Poof!
On the screen, Mia was almost spitting out of control.
Huh!
In the theater, the audience gasped.
Mia is a princess, and Mia is actually the abandoned royal heir. The bold fantasy in the fairy tale has evolved into reality.
It is a little exciting for an ordinary or even inconspicuous sixteen-year-old middle school student to suddenly become the sole heir of a kingdom.
It turns out that the diplomatic vehicle at the beginning of the movie came from a small European country called Genovia. The queen of this small country came to San Francisco in person and made a special trip to look for Mia——
her granddaughter.
When Prince Genovia was studying abroad, he met a woman, Helen, fell in love and got married. However, when Helen realized that the man she fell in love with was the crown prince, she chose Turn around.
Helen is an artist. She longs to paint, to be free, and to be herself instead of entering a palace and becoming a canary. So they divorced and she stayed in San Francisco to raise her daughter and let her daughter enjoy an ordinary life. life; and the prince returned to Genovia to inherit the throne.
Originally, they planned to tell their daughter this secret until she was eighteen years old, but they did not expect that the prince's early death disrupted the plan. Now the responsibility of inheriting the royal bloodline falls on his only daughter who is living abroad. body.
That is Mia.
When the queen played by Julie Andrews told Mia that she was a princess, the first reaction in Mia's mind was:
"Shut up!"
The screening room burst into laughter .
At this time, the movie had only started for fifteen minutes, and the curiosity and anticipation of the entire audience had already been fully ignited.
There was a rustling surge in the Emirate Theater, and the excitement could not be suppressed at all——
There must be more than one girl who has imagined that she is a princess, wearing a beautiful dress and a diamond crown, receiving the baptism of eyes gracefully and beautifully.
It doesn’t matter even if there is no “prince”. The point is that girls want to be princesses. Just watch the Princess Tea Party in the premiere today. It has nothing to do with age. “Princess Dream” is a magnificent fantasy. .
And now, this scene is taking place before our eyes, the most gorgeous and happiest imagination has become a reality, and the princesses in the audience can't hold back their emotions.
This is what they want to see in the movie.
However.
For Mia, who has always been a transparent person, is afraid of any kind of attention, is ready to continue to be a transparent person, and is happy to hide from sight:
This is impactful news, without joy there is no There is no excitement, let alone happiness.
There is only deep fear and infinite panic.
