麦当娜拍片面子大 英国皇室甘做顾问

　　Madonna has reportedly met with Britain’s Prince Edward and Princess Michael of Kent to ask them for information on King Edward VIII’s romance with US divorcee Wallis Simpson, so that her new movie W.E. is entirely accurate.

　　She's also met with the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, as well as Buckingham Palace staff and historians, to help her tell the story of how King Edward gave up the throne for Wallis in 1936, after a national outcry at their plans to marry.

　　为了忠于事实，真实再现国王爱德华八世与美国沃利斯-辛普森之间的罗曼史，全心投入导演一职的流行天后麦当娜最近拜会了英国爱德华王子和公主迈克尔肯特，取得了一手资料与个中秘辛，力求电影《W.E.》的历史准确性。  

　　与此同时，麦当娜还向格洛斯特公爵和公爵夫人，以及白金汉宫的工作人员和历史学家求助，以便能更好的将爱德华国王不顾全国上下一片反对，不惜抛弃王位，只为能与有情人终成眷属的历史故事呈现于大银幕之上。

　　A source told The Sun newspaper: “When the Palace was contacted by the film company for guidance on historical fact, they were a bit apprehensive at first given the subject.

　　"But when they heard Madonna was behind it they lent their support and arranged for key people to get involved. The entire Royal Family were contacted and asked if they would like to meet Madonna and production staff.

　　"Some senior figures turned it down. But others jumped at the chance."

　　据报道，起初在电影公司拜托皇室担任电历史顾问时，他们对于这一还心有戒备。但当得知麦当娜担当导演时，他们便欣然接受邀请，并在其中穿针引线，介绍了不少重要任务参与其中，整个皇室在被问及是否愿意与麦当娜和电影团队碰面时，除了一些身负重职的人物婉拒请求以外，其他人都非常乐意合作。

　　The film will examine the relationship between Edward and Wallis, which was opposed by the British establishment and Prime Minister and led to Edward’s abdication after less than a year as monarch.

　　Madonna’s film -- her second attempt at directing after 2008's Filth and Wisdom -- will also feature a modern romance between a married woman and a Russian security guard.

　　电影将探讨爱德华八世与美国沃利斯之间的关系，英国王室以及首相的立即反对，直接导致爱德华在位不满一年便退位的事实。而《W.E.》也将引入一段现代爱情故事，讲述一位已婚美国女性与俄罗斯保镖间的爱恋。
