Chapter 191
"Actually, in my personal opinion, there is no need to be like most successful British TV series that are often adapted carefully based on literary content. You can completely regard "Bolin Manor" as an original work..."
Arthur reached out with a smile and patted the script on the table, and said with a smile, since the other party gave him face so much, why didn't he give him more convenience?
"What I mean is that it is different from many other series, you completely imagine this story as a TV show without the original literary narrative that must be followed. This can also make you more modern when you make this TV show, countless intertwined characters and their stories, bringing the rhythm of the entire TV show closer to the contemporary TV series, and making it easier for all viewers to understand the background and stories of the show when watching it.
I think this will make this TV series more popular."
After listening to Arthur's words, producer Nigel Mashat and director Brian looked at each other and saw a hint of unexpected joy in each other's eyes. They did not expect that Arthur would completely open up the adaptation of the novel, which means that the constraints of the original author completely disappeared.
In addition to reciprocating his favor, Arthur did not want to distract himself for such a trivial matter. He also believed that the TV station would not use his own investment to make things happen. He was not the author who hoped to adapt the script to make it appear.
Both sides got what they wanted, so the atmosphere became more harmonious and relaxed until the party ended.
Arthur and the other two got into the car and returned to Bentley Manor. Eddie and Emilia couldn't wait to start to look up the script together, looking for the content and lines of their respective roles. Later, they directly disassembled the script, each holding their respective script contents, and began to play.
"...This is not the final script. It's useless to be so eager to memorize lines now." Arthur walked out of the kitchen with the newly brewed black tea tray and said to the two.
"This script is basically the same as the content of your novel, and there are not much changes. I don't think they are going to make large changes." Emilia, who has read the entire "Boling Manor", expressed different opinions.
Eddie, who was standing by, looked at Arthur and said, "I still feel like I'm dreaming. I can't believe that you really wrote this novel."
"Believe it or not, that's the truth." Arthur gave Eddie a angrily glance, put down the black tea, sat next to Emilia, and said lightly.
Eddie curled his lips in discontent. Just as he was about to say something, he was stopped by the ringtone of the cell phone ringing in Arthur's pocket.
Arthur took out his cell phone and saw the caller ID, raised his eyebrows slightly, and immediately picked it up and said, "Hey, Paul, is there anything wrong?"
"……What?!"
A shout made Eddie and Emilia startled. Seeing Arthur, who had changed his face and stood up from the sofa with his fingers and mouth trembling slightly, both of them showed worry.
"Okay, I get it, I'll rush back right away... Eddie is with me, that's it, let's talk about it when we go back."
Arthur hung up the phone with a hint of anxiety and sadness on his gloomy face. He looked at Eddie with curiosity and said in a sad tone: "Dean, Dean is probably not good, it is too old..."
"ah?!"
Upon hearing the news, Eddie's eyes widened and reached out to cover his mouth, and his expression changed from disbelief to sadness and anxiety.
"Prepare, we will set off to return to the manor immediately. Emilia, sorry, I can't accompany you anymore." Arthur's face squeezed out a smile and said to Emilia.
"I'll be with you." Emilia said with a sad face.
Arthur looked at Emilia without saying anything, just nodded, picked up the suit and put it on, and said, "Then let's go, the doctor said, it may not last tonight..."
"Woooooooo..." Eddie covered his mouth that was sobbing and crying, and tears couldn't stop flowing down.
After returning home, I rushed to Paddington Railway Station, bought the fastest train, and rushed back to Hampshire.
On the train, Eddie was choking with tears in his eyes, constantly telling the little things he had with Dean. After all, for the Bolin family, Dean had been with him for 13 years, and the father of the two who died, Francis, treated him as his own child. He was undoubtedly an important member of the Bolin family, even though he was just a Labrador.
For old Dean, Arthur inherited the memories of his predecessors. Although his feelings may be a little weak, he likes loyal dogs like Dean very much and is sincere. Therefore, when he is in the manor, Arthur always takes time to walk and play with it.
And this afternoon, Old Dean did not return to the castle after walking in the garden as usual, but went away and never returned. When the butler Paul took people to look for it and found it in the family dog cemetery, it was already lying on the ground. Although he was still breathing, everyone knew that its deadline had come.
Paul took someone to carry it back to the castle and sent someone to find a pet doctor. After the doctor checked, he shook his head helplessly and told Paul that there was nothing he could do. It was too old. For the Labrador, 13 years old is considered a long life.
So, looking at Old Dean who was lying on the old clothes that the old Earl once wore and breathing hard, Paul called Arthur. As an important member of the Bolin family, he should be with his family and send him the last journey, rather than letting him die alone in the dog cemetery.
More than an hour later, Arthur and his party arrived in Hampshire, walked out of the train station, met with the two waiters who came to pick them up, and flew back to the manor in two cars.
When we arrived at the manor, it was already nightfall. Under the dark night, the towering Bolin Castle was even more magnificent and brilliant under the lights.
"Ding"
The sound of the car horn sounded, the gate of the castle was opened, and the housekeeper Paul brought the castle maid waiter to greet Arthur, the master, and also greeted Eddie and Emilia.
Eddie, whose eyes were red, walked into the castle without stopping and headed straight to Dean's place.
Arthur sighed, looked at Emilia who followed him and said to the butler Paul, "How is the situation?"
The housekeeper Paul shook his head with a sad face, "He has been lying on your father's old clothes, with tears in his eyes, and quietly waiting..."
