Chapter 268： Candle in the wind

On September 6, 1997, the world’s attention was focused on Westminster Abbey in London, where the mourning ceremony of Diana’s funeral will be held soon, the lawns around the church and the road where the hearse will pass. Spontaneously gathered millions of people to bid farewell to the Princess of Wales.

Although it was said that there were more than 2 million farewell people, Ryan had no intuitive feelings. He stood in the queue about to enter the church and looked around, only to see the dense crowds of people's heads.

Nicole is wearing a black dress and an English veil hat with white flowers on her chest. She is holding Ryan, who is also dressed in black and white flowers. Her lips are still turning, seeming to be praying piously to God.

Although Spielberg is in front and Tom Hanks is beside him, Ryan keeps his head down and keeps his solemnity, and his camera will be swept by from time to time. The whole world has caused an uproar, and that is really bitter and can only be swallowed in the stomach.

Thinking of the soup, Ryan couldn't help but squinted his eyes to the rear. The Mr. Cruise, who was in debt and facing bankruptcy, was also invited, and he was standing with his female partner not far behind Ryan and Nicole. .

"Did something happen, dear?" Nicole keenly noticed that Ryan's eyes fell on her face.

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

Following the queue, after entering the church, Ryan took a seat aside and watched the funeral quietly.

On behalf of the Spencer family, Diana’s younger brother, Earl Spencer, delivered a commemorative eulogy with the theme of "Peerless Beauty", which highly praised Diana’s spirit of running for charity and the lofty in the eyes of the British people. status. He attacked the British royal family and his godmother in a nearly cracking way.

Hmm... Earl Spencer's godmother is Queen Elizabeth II.

This almost means that the relationship between the Spencer family and the royal family is completely broken.

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

Sitting quietly in front of the piano, Ryan listened to Blair's words, and his eyes quietly scanned the front row of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip. The faces of these two were not good at all.

As for the reason? Quite simply, this one at No.10 Downing Street not only praised Diana and criticized Crown Prince Charles. Even the word ‘damned’ is used.

"Can a person be praised by the public only when he is dead? Express my personal opinion."

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

"It is true that Charles is a prince, but he is first of all an individual. What he needs to do is to care rather than pretend. Why did Charles choose Diana, who was not outstanding, to marry, and give up so many ladies who are'better' '? I wonder if he wanted his wife. Considering him as an ordinary person? Unfortunately, after marriage, Diana thinks that her biggest difficulty comes from her husband , Not other factors..."

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

The contradiction between Ten Downing Street and Buckingham Palace is well known. Blair would make such remarks, and Ryan is not surprised at all, even if he is a political idiot.

At the end of Blair’s speech, Ryan quickly brewed his emotions. The moment the camera turned around, his slender ten fingers landed on the piano. The tunes that he practiced dozens of times in the past two days sounded, and after a short prelude. , He leaned in front of the microphone, and his slightly sad singing voice spread to every corner of the church.

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

You are the incarnation of kindness, caring and sheltering the people who are up and down.

You screamed out to the whole world, and you comforted those in distress softly.

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

Your life is like a candle in the wind, even if the downpour continues, the light never disappears with the sunset,

And your footsteps will reverberate forever, on the greenest hills in Great Britain,

The candle will eventually burn out, but your legend will be immortal,

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

We will always hold up this torch to commemorate Britain’s noblest angel,

Even if we endure the grief, the facts still make people choked with tears,

All our words can’t be said, the warmth and joy you have brought us over the years,

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

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

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

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

When this song full of memories and nostalgia sounded, outside Westminster Abbey, millions of people listened to the singing and watched the pictures on the big screen. They all covered their mouths and choked with feelings. Rich people have already burst into tears.

"Farewell, our English rose!"

They resonated strongly with the song. This song is so suitable for their beloved princess. May she be as immortal as singing! May she be like a candle in the wind in a song, never going out!

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

If he used to think he was half of his own person, now he and the princess are the glory of Great Britain.

Patting Nicole's arm, Ryan sat back in his seat. After the Archbishop of Canterbury gave a sermon, the funeral memorial ceremony officially ended. Under the protection of the Royal Guard and the Welsh Guard, Diana's coffin will be transported to Northamp. Dayton, buried on the small island of Althorpe Estate, the ancestor of the Spencer family.

Only members of the royal family and the Spencer family can participate in the final burial ceremony, and the rest will be dispersed.

"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 time is very tight."

"Don't worry, Stephen, I will rush back to Ireland immediately after recording the single!" Ryan made a promise.

"Hey, Stephen, we should go now."

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

There is no need to look, Ryan also knows that a large number of reporters and paparazzi must have surrounded him, 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 made specifically for Diana?"

Although the reporter was stopped a few steps away by George and a few bodyguards, the voices of these guys were not inferior to Cameron.

"Yes, this song is dedicated to the commemoration of the princess." Ryan knew clearly that it would be more troublesome to get away without giving these guys any sweetness.

"Then you will 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's Foundation."

"Ryan, now there is news that the princess died in a car accident, but a conspiracy, what do you think?" This was obviously a paparazzi.

"Miss Kidman, it is said that the princess called you on the phone shortly before the death, what did you say?" Someone asked Nicole who was walking beside Ryan.

"Also, some people think it is the royal family..."

Ryan and Nicole are not fools, how could they answer this kind of question, and immediately ignored them, under the **** of bodyguards, got into the car without looking back, and left this sensitive area.

The car did not return to the hotel, and went directly to Warner Music's London branch. Ryan signed a single release contract with Warner Music 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 ep or single.

Perhaps the profit will be limited, but the influence is extraordinary, and the songs he occasionally composed, such as the recent "My Heart Is Eternal", which can promote ordinary singers into popular singers, and can make powerful singers. A masterpiece of the queen of heaven.

"If it's boring go back to the hotel first." When she walked out of the recording studio, Ryan saw Nicole flip through the gossip magazine 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 rushed to London from Burbank specifically for this single and coordinated related matters.

The single will be released in the form of mv, Ryan does not intend to shoot specifically, but let the editor provided by Warner Records edit from today's video and Diana's video.

Originally, this song was written for the Princess of Wales. The horrible sales in the previous life have a great relationship with the release as soon as possible after the funeral.

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

This is Ryan's most true thought after Prince William visited his door that night, to create an unsurpassed record of weekly sales and total sales of singles! ()
