Rebirth In Hollywood

Chapter 268 Candles in the Wind

On September 6, 1997, the eyes of the world were focused on Westminster Abbey in London, where the mourning ceremony for Diana's funeral was about to be held, the lawns of the square around the church and the road where the hearse would pass. Millions of people gathered spontaneously to bid farewell to the Princess of Wales in person.

Although he heard that there were more than 2 million people sending farewells, Ryan had no intuitive feeling. He stood in the queue that was about to enter the church. Looking around, he could only see densely packed heads.

Nicole was wearing a black dress, an English veil hat, and a white flower on her chest. She was holding Ryan, who was also dressed in black and white, tightly, her lips were still rolling, and she seemed to be praying devoutly to God.

Although Spielberg was in front and Tom Hanks was beside him, Ryan kept his head down and kept his solemnity, and the camera would sweep over from time to time. The whole world caused an uproar, it was really hard to swallow.

Thinking of the soup, Ryan couldn't help squinting at the back. Mr. Cruise, who was in debt and facing bankruptcy, was also invited and was standing with his girlfriend not far behind Ryan and Nicole. .

"What happened, dear?" Nicole was keenly aware that Ryan's eyes fell on his face.

Ryan didn't say anything, just shook his head. In his previous life, he had seen pictures and reports of Diana's funeral, but Nicole was holding the guy behind...

Following the queue and entering the church, Ryan took a seat next to him and quietly watched the funeral.

Earl Earl Spencer, Diana's younger brother, on behalf of the Spencer family, delivered a commemorative eulogy on the theme of "Peerless Youth", which highly praised Diana's spirit of running for charity and her nobleness in the hearts of the British people status. He attacked the British royal family and his godmother in an almost ripped-off manner.

Well... the little earl Spencer's godmother is Elizabeth II.

This almost means that the Spencer family has a complete breakdown in the relationship with the royal family.

When Blair stepped forward and delivered a speech. A staff member came over and whispered in Ryan's ear. Leading him to the front of the piano, waiting for the end of the political figure's speech.

Sitting quietly in front of the piano, Ryan listened to what Blair said, and his eyes swept over to Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip who were in the front row, their faces were not good-looking at all.

As for why? Quite simply, the one at No. 10 Downing Street not only praised Diana and criticized Prince Charles. Even the word 'damn' is used.

"Does a person get public praise only when he is dead? Express your personal opinion."

"In this marriage between Charles and Diana, it is difficult to say who is the victim. Diana is in a weak position, but I think in Charles' heart, she is always just a partner. Not a lover, a partner...  ."

"Charles is a prince is true, but he is first of all a person, what he needs to do is to care instead of being pretentious. Why did Charles choose Diana, who was not very good, to get married, and gave up so many' ladies who were 'better' than her. '? I wonder if he wanted his wife. Considering him as an ordinary person? Unfortunately, after marriage, Diana thought her biggest difficulty was her husband. , rather than other factors..."

"As for now, only God knows what Diana thought."

The tension between Ten Downing Street and Buckingham Palace is well known. It's no surprise to Ryan that Blair would make such remarks, even if he's a political idiot.

At the end of Blair's speech, Ryan quickly prepared his emotions. Just as the camera turned around, his slender fingers landed on the piano. The tune he had practiced dozens of times in the past two days was played, and after a short prelude , he leaned in front of the microphone, and his slightly sad singing spread to every corner of the church.

"Farewell, our English rose, may you bloom in our hearts forever.

You are the embodiment of kindness, caring and sheltering those who are up and down.

You cry out to the whole world, and you whisper comfort to those in distress.

Now you have gone to heaven, and the stars have shone your name.

Your life is like a candle in the wind, even if the rain doesn't stop, the light never disappears with the setting sun,

And your footsteps will echo forever, on the greenest hills of Great Britain,

The candles will burn out, but your legend will be immortal,

We have lost this lovely man, in the empty days without your smile,

We shall always hold high this torch in honour of England's noblest angel,

Even if we endure the grief, the fact still makes people cry,

All our words cannot describe the warmth and joy you have brought us over the years,

Farewell, our English rose, may you bloom in our hearts forever.

The world that lost you is deeply lost and you never know how much we will miss...

Farewell, our English rose, your legend will be immortal..."

The sad song not only spread throughout the church, but also spread to all parts of the UK with the signal of the TV broadcast, and reached the hearts of the nearly two billion viewers who watched the broadcast of the funeral.

When this song full of memories and deep nostalgia sounded, outside Westminster Abbey, millions of people listened to the song and looked at the picture on the big screen. Rich people have already burst into tears.

"Farewell, our English rose!"

They resonated so strongly with the song, which is so fitting for their beloved princess, may she be as immortal as the song! May she be like the candle in the wind in the song and never go out!

Although I want to continue listening to this song to cherish my memory, the funeral will continue. Seeing the young man in the picture leaving the piano with a solemn expression, most people have a strong sense of identification with him...

If he used to think that he was half his own, now he is the glory of Great Britain like the princess.

With a pat on the arm of Nicole, Ryan took his seat. After the Archbishop of Canterbury delivered a sermon, the funeral service officially ended. Under the escort of the Royal Guard and the Welsh Guard, Diana's coffin will be transported to Northamp. Dayton, is buried on the small island of the Allsop estate, the ancestral home of the Spencer family.

Only members of the royal family and the Spencer family can attend the final burial, and the rest will go away.

"Ryan, I hope you can get back to the crew as soon as possible."

When leaving the church to part, Spielberg solemnly instructed Ryan, "We have been delayed for a week, and the time is very tight."

"Don't worry, Stephen, I'll go back to Ireland immediately after recording the single!" Ryan promised.

"Hey Stephen, it's time for us to go."

Tom Hanks winked at Steven Spielberg, and the two turned away.

No need to look, Ryan also knew that a large number of reporters and paparazzi must have gathered around, sighed, and immediately prepared for the storm.

"Hello, Ryan, I'm a reporter from The Times, may I ask if the song you sang at the funeral was for Diana?"

Although the reporter was stopped a few steps away by George and several bodyguards, the voices of these guys were no less than Cameron's.

"Yes, this song is dedicated to the memory of the princess." Ryan knew that it would be more troublesome to get away without sweetening these guys.

"Then will you release this song?"

"Yes." Ryan nodded and said, "I have commissioned Warner Records to release this song as a single, and all the proceeds will be donated to the princess' foundation."

"Ryan, there is news now that the princess did not die in a car accident, but a conspiracy, what do you think?" This is obviously a paparazzi.

"Miss Kidman, it is said that the princess was on the phone with you not long before her death, what did you say?" Someone else asked Nicole who was walking beside Ryan.

"Also, some people think it's the royal family..."

Both Ryan and Nicole are not fools. How could they answer such a question? They ignored them immediately. Under the escort of bodyguards, they got into the car without looking back and left this sensitive area.

The car did not return to the hotel, but went directly to Warner Records' branch in London. Ryan signed a single release contract with Warner Records a day ago. After the recording is completed, the single will be released as quickly as possible. .

Although Ryan clearly stated that his main focus will be on movies, Warner Records still has to fight for it. Even if there is no album, it is a good deal to get his future eps or singles.

Maybe the profit will be limited, but the influence is extraordinary, and the songs he occasionally created, such as the recent "My Heart Will Go On", which can make ordinary singers popular and powerful singers. Hold the masterpiece of the day after the day.

"If you're bored, go back to the hotel first." When he walked out of the recording studio, Ryan saw Nicole flipping through gossip magazines bored.

"Just wait a while." Nicole just smiled back.

"Ryan, we have been authorized, and the relevant parties will send past information and today's funeral video as soon as possible."

The music director of Warner Records had traveled from Burbank to London specifically for the single to coordinate matters.

The single will be released in the form of an MV, and Ryan is not planning to shoot it specifically, but will let Warner Records provide editors to edit from today's video and Diana's image.

Originally, this song was written for the Princess of Wales, and it had a lot to do with the fact that it was able to get such terrifying sales in the past life, and it was released as soon as possible after the funeral.

Since the music is only regarded as a ticket, why not leave a record that is difficult to surpass?

This is Ryan's truest thought after Prince William's visit that night, creating an unsurpassed record of weekly single sales and total sales! ()
