The works of Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant in their heydays, beautiful women and handsome men, the radiant Roberts meets the blue-eyed and handsome Grant, with the blessing of two popular stars, let the audience take a look The child willingly believed the fairy tale. Meeting a star and having a passionate dating is a romantic and illusory dream in every man's heart. William Thacker, who lives in a small community called Notting Hill in the center of London, has not had a good life recently. His wife ran away with a man who looked like Harrison Ford, and the business of his own travel bookstore was not good. on the verge of bankruptcy. William's only relief is that he also has a gang of buddies, architect Tony turned chef, opened a restaurant, and his oddly-behaved roommate Spike. It was another normal Wednesday. William went to work at the bookstore as usual. The big sale event ended with a loss of 347 pounds. Depressed, William was only willing to buy half a cup of cappuccino to relieve the pain. Hope came quietly inadvertently, and the god of luck was about to hit him. The famous Hollywood movie star Anna Scott came to his bookstore by chance.
Anna Scott, wearing sunglasses, walks into the bookstore, attracting William's attention. And William's enthusiasm and professionalism, especially in dealing with book thieves with reason and reason, also made Anna's humorous sentence "I originally wanted to steal a book, but now I have changed my mind". This made William a little excited and ridiculed, and he bought one get one free on impulse. William, who accidentally poured Anna's orange juice on the street corner, led her to the house. William's panic and hurriedness made Anna amused, and the mess at home made Anna inexplicably feel intimacy. Love is a feeling, an impulse, and it came in an instant. Anna took the initiative to kiss William, which made William even more incoherent with excitement. Roommate Spike came back and walked straight into the room without even looking at Anna, what a weird one. In the evening, William and Spike watched the movie starring Anna together. Watching the charming Anna in the movie, Spike dreamed, "Just think about it, which man in the world is lucky enough to kiss her?" William happily replied, "No Wrong, she is indeed very charming...", Spike did not know, William was the "lucky" man, and he just passed by Anna herself in the afternoon.
Roommate Spike was so mentally retarded that he only remembered three days after receiving the call from Anna. Fortunately, Anna was still staying at that hotel, otherwise William would have to kill Spike in annoyance. In fact, William is a very easy-going and generous person. His roommate caused such a big disaster, and he didn't even have a word of reproach, so Spike was calm and calm. William went to meet at the Ritz Hotel where Anna lived. He didn't want the room full of reporters waiting to be interviewed. William pretended to be a reporter from the "Horse and Hound" magazine. The drama really did interview Anna, which made their reunion a little less embarrassing and added a little more fun. It's just that William's question is always inseparable from the horse and the hound, while Anna's film is about space, and another movie about to start is on a submarine. . The agent next to him was inexplicable and confused, but William was in a dream. Seeing William's embarrassed appearance, Anna found it very interesting, and was inexplicably moved again. After interviewing Anna, William was arranged by his agent to interview another black actor, which made William dumbfounded. Then he interviewed almost all the actors and directors in the crew one after another. When William was dragging his exhausted body to escape, he was pulled by his manager again. This time, Anna was waiting for him and told him to turn down the arrangement of the night to date him, which made William couldn't help but be overjoyed.
William took Anna to his friend Max's house for his sister's birthday party dinner. Everyone was overjoyed by Anna's arrival, but their etiquette and self-esteem made them pretend to be nothing in front of Anna. Only sister Hani was incoherent and overwhelmed. Go to the toilet even followed in. My friend Bernie is a stockbroker, but he was so dumb that he never recognized Anna. He even discussed with Anna about the hard work and meager income of actors. When I heard that Anna made 15 million dollars in the last movie, I was completely shocked. shocked. It was only after the help of others that he woke up from a dream. It turned out that he was facing the international movie star Anna Scott. He was embarrassed and became everyone's laughing cake all night. Anna was immersed in the warm family atmosphere of the British commoners, and once again experienced the joys, sorrows and joys of ordinary people. In the competition of selling the cakes, she boldly revealed her fears and worries about the passage of time as an actor, which won everyone's attention. The good feelings and sympathy have shortened the distance between them, and everyone spent a pleasant evening unrestrained and happy together.
Just leaving his friend's house, there was an uncontrollable scream of joy from the door. In order to cover up their gaffe, William took the initiative to take this "honor" over "Sorry, every time I go out, they are like this, it's too stupid , I hate it." Anna smiled sweetly. William and Anna passed by a mysterious public garden. The two climbed over the wall and entered. Anna impulsively kissed William again. Looking at William's shocked expression, Anna enjoyed and fell in love with it very much. An engraved line of words on a row seat on the garden lawn caught Anna's attention: "In memory of Joan who loves this garden, and Joseph who will always sit by her side." Shou". William and Anna made an appointment to go to the movies, but they couldn't find the glasses. William had to wear diving glasses to watch the movie. Anna couldn't help laughing at his naive look. In the tavern, the reckless remarks and foul language of a few men at the next table to Anna made William come forward, and Anna's brave counterattack was even more hearty.
Probably because they had just experienced the tension and excitement, the two of them were still unfinished. Anna took the initiative to invite William to her room. She didn't want to be when William knocked on Anna's room door with joy, but Anna told him to leave quickly. It turned out that Anna's American boyfriend Jeff Just in the room, before William had recovered, Anna's boyfriend appeared in front of them. William wisely lied that room service had deceived him. He was holding a stack of dirty dishes and garbage in his left hand and a stack in his right hand. Tip, in the atmosphere where Anna and her boyfriend started making out, left the room frustrated. Sometimes God would really make fun of people, and in one day, William had experienced both ice and fire. William opened up to his roommate, "I opened Pandora's box and got into this big trouble", and the roommate could do nothing but joke to comfort him. The consolation of the good friends Max and his wife is to constantly introduce him one new girlfriend after another, but William is completely absent-minded and has no intention to start a new life.
Anna's unexpected arrival surprises and delights William. At this time, Anna is in trouble because of the exposure of nude photos and videos a few years ago. The hotel is surrounded by water and can't go back. Stay out of the limelight here. Seeing that Anna's hysteria was on the verge of collapse, William released his suspicions and took her in resolutely. William's humor, open-mindedness and open-mindedness gradually healed Anna's wounds, allowing her to happily devote herself to the preparations for the next movie. As they get along day and night, they gradually deepened their understanding of each other, and the two were surprised to discover They can talk to each other very well, and have more common hobbies and interests. In the dead of night, the water comes naturally, and the two lonely hearts finally stick together. Sleeping with a star made William as confused as a dream. Anna pointedly pointed out that "a man sleeps with the woman of his dreams, but when he wakes up he is unwilling to face reality. Do you feel this way?" .
Reporters suddenly swarmed, and they were able to photograph their disheveled clothes as they wished. Anna was terrified, but Spike posed excitedly and blew kisses proudly. Anna took it for granted that William's roommate was making her famous, and secretly informed the media and deliberately arranged all this, and became angry. The two quarreled because of their disagreement about the leak. William was optimistic and optimistic that the public would forget it tomorrow, but the angry Anna slammed the door, and the two broke up again. True to the Chinese proverb: The actor is ruthless.
The ordinary life went on day after day, Tony's small restaurant was about to close down, and everyone gathered here for the last time to make fun of the misfortune and helplessness in each other's lives. My sister finally announced good news. She was getting engaged to an artist, and this person was Spike, which shocked everyone, and even made Spike overjoyed. After half a year of unhappiness and the decadent state of The Walking Dead, William thinks he has overcome the difficulties and will live happily ever after, and will no longer care about that American star. But when he learned that Anna had won an Oscar, returned to London, and was now filming in Hampstead, he couldn't sit still, became distracted, and didn't seem to have forgotten her.
William came to the set to meet Anna. While William was waiting for Anna with joy, he overheard Anna and the male protagonist talking about him. Anna ignored the contemptuous words, causing William to get hurt again and leave sadly. Anna took the initiative to find William, and brought him a famous painting from the American home. William, who had suffered from the "impermanence of the play", calmly and resolutely rejected Anna's suggestion of reconciliation. Anna had tears in her eyes and expressed her heart emotionally" Fame is a phantom, don't forget that I'm a woman too, standing in front of a man and asking him to love me." All the friends held a meeting to discuss this matter, and they all supported William's rejection of Anna, only Spike scolded William "you This stupid donkey," Bernie also held a reconciled attitude. William recalled Anna's parting words, and suddenly realized that his decision was wrong. A group of people drove wildly, went the wrong way, ran red lights, blocked cars, and finally caught up with Anna's press conference before leaving London, and a wonderful scene was about to be staged. A reporter asked Anna last time she came to London with a British man, what happened? Anna replied, "Just a friend, still a friend now." William raised his hand and asked, "Is it possible that the relationship between the two of you will go further than normal friends? Anna answered seriously, "I hope so, but I think it may not be", William "If this Mr. Thacker realizes he's an ass, and he gets down on his knees and asks you to reconsider, would you reconsider? "," Anna answered knowingly, "Yes, I think I will", William let out a long sigh of relief, not forgetting to humor "This is really good news! Horse and Hound readers will be delighted." Anna then asks Dominic, the reporter who just asked her, "How long are you going to be in the UK?" to repeat your question? Anna changed her answer of "Leave tonight and won't stay" and replied "permanently" again. William grinned, and the reporters turned their cameras to William one after another. There was warm applause at the venue, and a reporter eagerly asked, "Are you going to marry him?" Anna just grinned at Roberts' big mouth.
Celebrities tend to look down on the lives of ordinary people from above, and the lives of ordinary people are nine times out of ten. William and his friends faced this unsatisfactory life calmly, open-mindedly, optimistically and positively, which made Anna realize the true meaning of life and was moved by it. When the two are in love, there is no common etiquette, and there are no clear rules and regulations, and the lover's eyes show Xi Shi. True love has no distinction between high and low, and true love is hard to come by. The wise Anna caught this fleeting love in time. After several tossing, Anna put down her figure and accepted this worldly love. The lovers finally got married, and a Western version of the angel was born.
