Chapter 161 The Little Girl's Story (5000-word chapter)
Wang Nuo held her hand tightly. Manchester's winter is cold and bleak, even in the ward, there is a hint of coolness.

"This is a... little girl... story." Emilia Clarke sniffed her nose, "Do you have the patience to listen to me slowly?"

"Of course, if your health is fine." Wang Nuo nodded.

"It's a long... story. Let me adjust... a... comfortable posture." Emilia Clarke lay on her side on the pillow, and put Wang Nuo's palm under her cheek.

Then, she pursed her dry lips and began a long narration.

"There was this...little girl who grew up in the...countryside in the Berkshires, with a...stream outside the house and...fields everywhere."

"She has a brother...and...two puppies, the whole family...lives together, life...like...idyllic."

"Her father...is a...sound designer who created..."Chicago," and mother...is a...businesswoman who works in...marketing management for a...consulting firm."

"Her family...wasn't rich, but...she and her brother...went to a private school, and her parents...wanted...the child to have everything, and they...worked hard...to pay the tuition."

Speaking of this, Emilia Clarke took several deep breaths. She hasn't spoken such a long word in the past week, and she is a little uncomfortable.

"When she was...three or four years old, Dad...took her...to work, and she was soon...fascinated...by life backstage at the theatre, gossiping...props...costumes...and in the dark...urgent and whispered...noisy .”

"Not long after, Dad took her...to see a work called..."Show Boat"."

"While...she is usually a...loud and mischievous child, that day...she sat in the audience...quietly and attentively...for over two hours."

"As the curtain came down...she was standing in her seat, clapping wildly overhead..."

"She was fascinated by the performance."

When Emilia Clarke said this, the smile on her face bloomed again.

Wang Nuo had known for a long time that Emilia was telling her own story. Under normal circumstances, she would laugh before she could say a few words, amusing herself.

But this time, she was more focused and serious than ever.

Emilia continues.

"From then on...she wanted to...be an actress."

"At home...she played...the My Fair Lady tape so many times that...it was... worn away."

"She's still...a...little kid, but she's learned to act...from the...Pygmalion...story."

"When she announced...she wanted to be...an actress, Dad...wasn't happy."

"He knew ... a lot of actors who, in his view, were ... habitually neurotic ... and unemployed."

"He can't stop her."

"At school, she got...a lead role in a...drama."

"And yet... when it came time to... go onstage...she forgot everything."

"She just stood there...in the middle of the stage...not moving...in concentration. In the front row...teachers were trying to remind her...by saying her lines...."

"But she just stood there...no fear...very calm."

"This mentality... runs through... her life after she grows up."

"She never had stage fright."

Speaking of this, Emilia Clarke's originally lacking blood showed a smug look on her face.

"As... time went on, she became more and more... good at acting."

"She's had... a few simple... speaking... children's roles, but... she's not a child prodigy, not as famous as...Emma Watson...."

"When she was ten... Daddy... took her...to...the West End...to audition for...Neil Simon's...Goodbye Girl."

"But...it's a pity...she screwed up, and at the scene...Daddy's hands...covered his face in embarrassment."

"Obviously...she didn't get the part."

"But she... has kept going."

"She's been in...school productions, she's played...Anita in West Side Story,...Abigail in The Crucible, the...witch in Macbeth,...Victoria in Twelfth Night. Ola."

"She is becoming more and more... yearning for acting and becoming a... actor."

"After secondary school...she applied to...three coveted...reputable universities...but was rejected."

"During this time...she worked as a...waiter and went on a...backpacking trip to Asia."

"After school started...she started classes at...London Drama Center...for a...Bachelor's degree."

Wang Nuo listened quietly to Emilia telling her own story without saying a word.

In the two months we were together, she had never talked about her past experience so carefully, and she always made jokes.

Wang Nuo actually didn't know her past.

But now, she showed everything unreservedly.

"As fledgling...actors, they...learned...everything from The Cherry Orchard to...The Wire."

"She...didn't learn the...innocent part, which...is for tall...slim...beautiful...blond girls."

"She played a...Jewish mother in Wake and Sing, lol...with a...weird...Bronx accent."

"After graduation...she made a...promise to herself."

"For a year's time... she will only play... meaningful... roles."

"She is... not a student anymore, she must... support... herself."

"She worked at a fast food restaurant...a call center...a nondescript museum...to earn a living."

"Her job...is...to tell people...[toilets are on the right]...[your meals are packed]"

Emilia pouted with a self-deprecating expression.

"Then...she finally...got word that...an audition...for a new...HBO show...was taking place in London."

"Game of Thrones'...pilot...was flawed, and they...wanted to recreate...Daenerys...in other characters."

"The role...needed a...otherworldly...mystical...blonde."

"She's a...short...black-haired...unqualified...British."

"Never mind him... go all out."

"For the audition...she purposely...learned...strange lines for...two scenes."

"One is in the fourth episode...the elder brother beats the younger sister."

"The other one...was in episode [-]...she walked into a fire...and survived unscathed."

"She...don't know...how the result will be. They...asked her to wait for the notification."

"And then... she went back."

"In those ... days, she considered herself ... healthy."

"Sometimes...she gets...a bit dizzy, she often has...low blood pressure and...low heart rate."

"Sometimes, she would...be very dizzy...pass out."

"When she was 14...she had...migraines...that kept her in bed...for days, in...drama school...and she had occasional...breakdowns."

Hearing this, Wang Nuo stretched out his other hand and gently stroked Emilia's cheek.

He remembered that Emilia had said that she had a headache a few days ago, but he didn't pay enough attention to it at all.

Only now did he know that she had been troubled by this situation all along.

But she never brought it up seriously.

"Headaches and dizziness...it seems...all...manageable, part...of being an actor's...stress, part...of life."

"A few days later...she was reading Game of Thrones...in a...small...studio in Soho, and she got...a phone call."

"Obviously, the last audition...wasn't...bad."

"She was told...in three weeks...to fly to...Los Angeles to read to...Benioff and...Wess...and...TV executives...."

"In order to prepare...for this audition, she...prepared desperately."

"They... gave her... business class."

"And she stole...all the free tea from the break room."

"During... auditions, when she... sees other actors... walking by, she tries not to... look at them."

"Because...all of them are...tall...blond...slim...beautiful."

"She read... two scenes in a... dimmed auditorium... against a group of... producers... and executives."

"After the show... she blurted out... [I can dance]"

"She never wanted to...disappoint, she longed for...the role, she danced...funny... [chicks and robots]"

"Now...in retrospect, she probably...would have ruined it all, she danced...so badly...lol!"

"But when she left... the auditorium... they... came after her and said..."

"Congratulations...princess!"

"She... got the part!"

When Emilia said this, her whole body glowed with a different brilliance, as if this was an extremely important honor.

Wang Nuo is usually not interested in TV dramas at all, and he doesn't know what "Game of Thrones" is like.

He'd only seen a few minutes of the pilot episode Emilia had given him earlier, and she wasn't in it at all.

"She... got the script, started... shooting, and everything made her... extremely excited."

"This is... a real... big production, the crew... spends money like water, and every detail is... meticulously crafted!"

"As a...pure newcomer, being able to participate in...among them...made her happy...sleepless all night."

"That's a role that... countless actors... covet."

"She didn't miss...a beat on...the set, put in...huge...efforts."

"This drama...is...so important to her, so important...that it cannot be described in words. This is the...true start of her...acting career, and...her dream since she was a child."

"But after the...huge...excitement, followed by...and the unbearable filming of the content for her."

When Emilia said this, she looked at Wang Nuo, and suddenly fell silent.

Looking at Emilia's extremely complicated eyes, Wang Nuo suddenly recalled something.

In November last year, when they first met, they talked about this show. Wang Nuo once joked that she must watch it carefully after it aired. At that time, her reaction was very strange.

Wang Nuo recalled that she said something at that time——

"There are some shots, very explosive."

"I hope your jaw doesn't drop."

"Stop talking about it, I've been crying a lot during filming!"

"I gave almost everything for this show."

At that time, he didn't think about it deeply, or in other words, the relationship between the two was still undecided, and he didn't think too much about it, he just felt happy to be together.

After that, the relationship between the two warmed up and they had a more intimate experience, but they really spent very little time together.

Wang Nuo needs to train and compete, while Emilia is also busy with her own affairs.

Even when they were together, they rarely talked about her work, and Emilia was never in shape, a total comedian.

Until now, Wang Nuo vaguely felt that, in fact, there were some things that she had carefully hidden.

His heart sank, but he remained calm.

"What was the content of the filming that made it difficult for that little girl to accept?" he asked.

Emilia grasped Wang Nuo's hand tightly, as if she would lose it in the next second.

She who used to be optimistic and confident suddenly became worried about gains and losses, and hesitated for a long time before continuing to speak.

"A lot of...naked...exposed scenes, they asked...I remove the clothes...to fit the script to the greatest extent."

Wang Nuo noticed that Emilia had changed the third person to No.1.

"I've expressed...protest against this, and I've discussed with the director, can I reduce some...this kind of scene, or cover my body...more."

"The director...ask me, are you a...real...actor?"

"These words... are just... bastard, he gave me... huge... mental pressure."

"I couldn't help... yelling, hiding in... the bathroom... and crying, but, after wiping away my tears..., looking at... myself in... the mirror, the 24-year-old me, can I give up...this...opportunity? "

"I can only... obey the arrangement, bite the bullet... and start filming."

"I... lost control of my emotions... countless times, cried... countless times, after crying, I went back... and continued filming."

"After a long time, I... met you... my dear."

"I don't want...to tell you this, not at all...because...if I think about it, I can't stand it either."

"But...time is moving forward, and in...more than a month, "Game of Thrones" will...officially start broadcasting, you will always...see it, you will always...know it."

"I don't want to...be a...emotional liar, I need...to be honest and...respectful to you."

"I love you."

After saying this, Emilia was no longer the girl who could never stop laughing. Her expression revealed obvious uneasiness, but at the same time, she was also somewhat relieved.

She looked into Wang Nuo's eyes, waiting for his response.

Wang Nuo's heart has sunk to the bottom bit by bit. He is not a noble and pure person at all, and he has no thought of dedicating himself to art.

She is his girlfriend, and only belongs to him!

He looked at Emilia lying on the hospital bed, and looked at her heartbreaking eyes. Emilia really posed him a century-old problem.

"Is it possible to ask them to delete those clips when it is broadcast?" Wang Nuo asked a question that even he thought was ridiculous.

Emilia shook her head, "This show... has invested... tens of millions of dollars."

"Those clips... can I really watch them?" Wang Nuo still didn't give up.

Emilia looked at Wang Nuo's struggling expression, and the only trace of expectation in her heart faded away.

He really cared a lot.

This is normal, for a man with a strong blood.

"I can't show you... the movie, because it hasn't... started broadcasting yet, but... it does."

Wang Nuo was completely silent when he heard Emilia's reply.

He wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say.

He felt like he scored an own goal on the pitch at the moment, it felt terrible.

Terrible!

A strange sense of rage, an urge to tear everyone on Game of Thrones apart.

But Emilia was still in the hospital bed, and there was her mother and a nurse sitting in the corridor outside, and he couldn't tear anyone apart.

Emilia needed recovery, needed care.

what to do?Should we wait until she recovers?
He was going to say something to comfort her to recover from her illness, even though her heart hurts like hell, now is not the time.

Everything waits for her to recover from illness.

"Annie, take care of your illness first, and don't think too much."

The words that came out of his mouth made me feel strange, he obviously cared to death.

"If I...wanted...to recuperate well, I wouldn't...tell you...this today, while...I have...meet Death God, and I have...unprecedented...courage."

"Whatever decision you... make... I can... accept it." Emilia's eyes have regained the confidence and calmness of the past.

Wang Nuo understood what she meant.

He didn't answer her right away, "I know it's a series, later, will you participate in the later episodes?"

"The second part...is going to be...shooting soon," Emilia said. "If I can...recover...and catch up, I 100%...will go...to participate in the filming."

Wang Nuo was getting more and more depressed, he took a deep breath, "Is it possible, stop being an actor, I earn a lot of money now, enough for us to spend together."

"I will... earn... a lot of money in the future. It's not... a matter of money. Didn't you understand... the story I just told?"

"..."

"I'm an...actor, now...yes, and in the future...also."

"..."

Emilia felt Wang Nuo's resistance and anxiety from the bottom of her heart, and she sighed silently in her heart.

Before meeting Wang Nuo, she had already expected this result.

She decided not to struggle anymore.

"Let's...be friends again... shall we?" Emilia said, "I don't want to...lose you, and I don't want to...lose my... acting career."

Wang Nuo looked at Emilia's calm and serious eyes, and he realized that Emilia was ten thousand times stronger than he imagined.

On the contrary, he is not as strong as her, he minds those things very much, he is a person who cannot compromise with himself.

He didn't want to say any more hypocritical nonsense, it didn't make sense.

There is no doubt that she loves acting more than he does, just as he loves football.

It's useless to say anything at this time.

So, he nodded and chose to accept Emilia's proposal.

"After I... recover from illness, you can still... come to my... home in the countryside to play, and you are still... welcome."

"Good friends... There are many kinds." Emilia said.
