The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)
Chapter 1206: Maximum penalty
Among the four children of the Hall family, Arthur has the best appearance.
The well-defined face, the handsome features, the slender and sturdy figure, and the wind/flow/rhyme/taste between the eyebrows show the chic charm of the elegant man to the fullest, which perfectly blends the elegance of aristocracy and that of men Unruly, there is a thrilling movement between the eyes.
Edith once teased Arthur, and even God couldn't help being jealous.
In this regard, Lan Li deeply agrees, anyone standing next to Arthur, the light will dim.
Tonight, I wore a navy blue suit with a white bow tie. After I raised my legs, the dark red plaid socks on the ankles were faintly exposed, and the whole suit was lightened up in a restrained and low-key manner, bursting out from the inside out. A temperament that makes people look up; sitting on the sand in the party hall, there is a cold breath that no strangers should enter, and the gaze hastily passed by, but after all, he dared not come close.
At this moment, Lan Li and Arthur were sitting at the opposite ends of Changsha. The powerful aura was surging in the dark. Without any actions or words, the sight of the party scene was projected involuntarily:
They are very different, each with its own merits, but equally charming.
Almost everyone is wondering: Who is the man sitting on the other side of Lan Li? Why can you attend the Oscar night tonight? Why can you be on par with Lan Li? Even Lan Li took the initiative to say hello? What are they talking about now? If you rush forward to say hello, is it too abrupt?
The scorching sights swarming from all directions, even if they tried to conceal them, were still exposed, a little straightforward.
Accustomed to the esoteric and hard-to-guess of the upper class in London, suddenly exposed to such an environment, Arthur felt that they were stupid and cute, "Sure enough, Yankees always know how to entertain the public."
Yankees, for modern people, all meanings are closely related to the New York Yankees; but for the British, especially the upper class, the Yankees have historical significance.
Regarding the historical origin of the Yankees, the earliest immigrants after the seventeenth century were immigrants from the United Kingdom who immigrated to North America. In New England, the descendants of immigrants who settled in the northeastern region with Massachusetts as the core are the immigrants. Become a Yankee.
At that time, for the United States, the Yankees were representatives of high education, high income, and high class. This also made New England the leading educational environment in North America; but for the United Kingdom, the Yankees were speculative. The activists only choose to leave the UK and explore a wild land only if they can't hang on in the UK, or if they are blinded by commercial interests.
As time progressed, before the American War of Independence, people called the New Englanders who served in the American colonial army as Yankees; during the War of Independence, the Americans defeated the British for the second time in the Battle of Concord and began to proudly call themselves Yankees; during the Civil War, American southerners were collectively referred to as Yankees by northerners who came to the south; in the latter part of World War I, the United States sent troops to Europe to participate in the war, and Europeans used Yankees to collectively refer to all the United States People, meaning Yankees.
In contemporary times, in overseas areas, Yankees are used to describe Americans, with a strong derogatory meaning; in North America, Yankees are used to describe Americans in New England, satirizing the self-proclaimed and pretentious elite class , With a strong sense of sarcasm.
For the British aristocracy, the Yankees were still the pseudo-aristocrats who wandered in the barbarian land after leaving their homes in the seventeenth century, but still pretending to be noble.
Why are nobles always able to identify the important factors that define class, such as identity, heritage, education, culture, family background, wealth, and status quo?
Language is an important component. From address to wording, from pronouns to humor, from history to culture, every detail can identify a person's wealth background. At the same time, this is also the heritage passed down by the hereditary aristocracy, and that reserve and pride is also the soul that they have always worked hard to maintain.
In fact, the generation of Lan Li and Arthur has gradually been in line with the times and society. Those constraints are quietly disappearing. Elf is the only exception. She still strictly inherits the glory and tradition of the family; but Lan Li and There are still subtle differences in Arthur's speech.
Lan Li laughed blankly, "Then you made a special trip this time to become entertainment materials?"
On the surface, Lanly was complaining about Arthur's attendance at the Oscars; the subtext was asking why Arthur came to Los Angeles.
However, Arthur did not answer directly, but gently shook the whiskey in his hand, seeming to be enjoying the light and shadow flowing in the amber luster.
"How long have you not been in contact with George or Elizabeth?" Arthur changed the subject on his own, and Lan Li's understatement came in his ear, "I don't know, I don't even remember the last time I contacted them. What time is it?"
Such an answer caused Arthur to turn his head, and Chuan looked at Lan Li with a smile, "You know, they can't be more satisfied with you now."
Afterwards, Arthur turned his head again, his gaze fell on the whiskey, and said softly:
"The youngest son of the Hall family, every party wants to invite him. He has made a career in Hollywood and has a place in the West Side and Broadway. More importantly, he always insists on himself on the road of artistic pursuit. Talented, introverted and low-key, he promotes performing arts, and has the potential to become a master of a generation at a young age."
The corners of the mouth rose upwards, revealing a touch of sarcasm and ridicule, "Who doesn’t want to meet the hot Renly? Everyone thinks that even Prince Harry is inquiring about Renly’s news. Rumors say that the queen is This 23-year-old young man is very curious. Although she doesn't like movies, she is still interested in the Almeida Theater version of "Les Miserables"."
"Ha." Lan Li did not hold back, chuckled lightly.
The rumors about the queen are obviously false. The old queen has no interest in movies and dramas, and even less interested in young actors. What she really likes is those classic works that have lasted forever.
Arthur also chuckled lightly, closed his jaw, cast a glance, as if to say: How absurd these rumors are, it also proves how popular you are in the upper class now, and then he explained, "But The problem is that Lanly never shows up. This maverick actor has always devoted himself to acting work, and even Princess Beatrice has never appeared at the party."
Lan Li shrugged slightly, expressing his innocence.
Arthur chuckled again. He liked Renly’s response like this. “So George and Elizabeth became the most suitable invitees. Obviously, they always expressed support and approval for Renly’s acting career, and agreed early on. With Lan Li's talent and talent, I believe that he can use his own strength to break into the sky; just out of restraint, they never interrupted Lan Li's efforts and hard work."
When he said these words, Arthur's eyes always fell on Lan Li.
In the past few months, George and Elizabeth have flourished. Both have ushered in important breakthroughs in their careers and work. They have entered a prosperous stage, and they have become the hottest figures in the upper-class society. The scenery is boundless. ; The most important key is that Lanli never appeared, only leaving a halo, they can ask for anything.
Arthur was curious about Ren Li's reaction.
In fact, Arthur clearly knew that, on the surface, George and Elizabeth are now living in the spotlight, and the spring breeze is triumphant with horseshoes; but deep down, George and Elizabeth are suffering and gnawing at each party. , Every social, every success reminds them all the time that their current scenery and dazzling all come from Lan Li.
This is not only an anger, but also a humiliation. Ridiculous and sad.
What they used to oppose, ridicule, and disdain, has now become the most important part of their lives. What's more sad is that they are powerless and don't want to resist.
In this regard, Arthur could not understand it better. As a bystander and half of the participant, this is really an interesting thing; but what about Lan Li? Lan Li is the real party, what exactly does he think ~ lightnovelpub.net~ and how would he choose to respond?
Regrettably, Arthur didn’t notice any fluctuations in Renly, and seemed to be listening to other people’s stories. This made Arthur shook his head slightly, "Do you know? Sometimes I think you are better than Elf It's more terrifying." In that young skin, there lived an old soul, as if he could see through everything.
Lan Li chuckled lightly, "So, what do you expect from me? I will make a special trip back to London to participate in this drama in person?" Lan Li just laughed happily after just refreshing his brain. , Nodded again and again, "I admit, this is a seductive/inspiring idea, and it is bound to be very interesting."
George and Elizabeth's biggest wish now is: Renly will not return to London.
Then, they can continue to hide their ears and steal the bells, continue to enjoy the treatment from the front and back, continue to pretend that their success comes from their own hard work and hard work, continue to whitewash the peace and maintain their bright and beautiful life.
"But..." Lan Li shrugged, the smile on the corner of his mouth fell on the bottom of his eyes, and a wise light flashed, "If I did this, then what is the difference between me and them?"
A simple sentence made Arthur stunned slightly and chewed carefully.
Later, Lan Li added, "What's more, this is the greatest punishment."
In front of people, enjoying the attention; behind people, worrying about rumors; deep down, praying for the continued absence of Lan Li. On the one hand, I want to be cruel to cut off the fear; on the other hand, I can’t help being greedy for glitz. After a poor life, George and Elizabeth lived like this, but now, among the burdens they carry, one more has been added.
This is the greatest punishment.
