The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)
Chapter 2042: Long memory
White shirts and black suits, docile, and meticulously ironing out the shoulder and waist lines, there is no deviation in every position of the cuffs, necklines, and trousers, perfectly showing order and rules; even in the summer of August , But the Windsor bow tie is still not loose at all, forming a faint echo with the square scarf, pocket watch, and handkerchief that the details have revealed, revealing the nobility and elegance of the nobility invisibly.
The complete and rigorous dressing style seems a little out of place in daily life, but in New Orleans, there is a kind of innate fit and harmony, because this is a city that respects tradition and heritage, and because it is a city that admires gentlemen and In a city of etiquette, when the night falls and the party kicks off, the suit and shirt are a kind of respectful ceremony; not to mention the whole set of dressing is essential when enjoying jazz.
Being here, I faintly reveal a sense of naturalness, but also a faint taste of a sense of alienation. Perhaps it comes from the introverted and low-key inherited from European hereditary aristocracy, which has undergone three centuries of evolution and integration in New Orleans. But it was no longer found.
Appearing at the entrance of the arrival hall of New Orleans Airport, it was Philip Demba, the housekeeper of the Hall family.
He seemed to perceive the hustle and bustle of eyesight, and projected it scorchingly and eagerly. Philip Demba waited for Lanly to overtake his position, and politely bowed to the crew members to express greetings; then turned around to speed up the pace. He bypassed the walking route of Lan Li by avoiding running and stride, first came to the side of the car, opened the door for Lan Li, and waited for Lan Li to get on the car, and then detoured from the rear of the car to the driver’s seat. The seemingly unhurried movements are clean, quick and quick to complete the work, and finally go away.
The members of the "Jurassic World" crew reluctantly turned their sights back, and sighed in whispers that the tolerance and aura were really different.
Usually, Lan Li is also a high-ranking figure, and he is also an absolute top presence in the world. It is a kind of oppressive feeling for the crew members. The feeling of isolation after returning to the crew after the "Interstellar Crossing" propaganda is the best proof. But no matter what, Lanly is still an actor. Simply put, it is still a part of Hollywood, in the same field as them.
Today, Lan Li has evolved into a character in another world. The insurmountable sense of distance instantly switches to another mode. It is beyond sight and beyond reach. Apart from wonder and curiosity, he can't even generate any sense of identity, and looks at each other. I couldn't help but a self-sigh sprang up: I couldn't believe that I had worked with such a character for such a long time.
"Oh...I now finally understand why everyone was so shocked and so surprised when the magazine broke the news that Lan Li was a hereditary nobleman."
Nick Robinson’s sigh of understanding and non-understanding made the crew members smile, and they exchanged sights, and then Nick asked another question, "You said, other people saw Lanly... uh, like this. At that time, was it the same as us, too shocked to speak?"
"...How can we be so shocked that we can't speak?" Colin tried to refute, then turned to look for support, hoping that other people could also make a sound.
But... there was silence, and then Colin could only scratch his head without saying anything.
"Wait, was that a Bentley just now?"
At this moment, Lan Li, who was sitting in the black Bentley, twisted his shoulders slightly to relax the tight muscles. The movement was a bit loud. Even if he did not look up, he did not look at each other. Lan Li could also feel Philip. The condemning sight projected from the rearview mirror.
"I just experienced a long flight, and it doesn't matter if I relax at all. Besides, there is only you here, isn't it?"
In fact, Philip did not look in the rearview mirror. It was just Lan Li’s habit. He could faintly feel the tiredness in Lan Li’s voice, with a slight smile in his husky voice, as if he was complaining. The distress caused by the long-distance flight reminded Philip of Lan Li's habit: when he just woke up, he always had a little temper.
Philip didn't say much, he just slowed down a bit to make the car run smoothly and make sure that Renly could take a short rest.
Sure enough, after a short while, Lan Li leaned on the back of the chair, completely relaxed, closed his eyes, and seemed to fall asleep.
It was undoubtedly very, very unexpected to meet Philip in New Orleans. In memory, this is the first time that Lan Li has seen Philip on the North American continent; because Philip always stays behind his base camp in London, he rarely follows him even when he is on vacation in Europe.
But Lan Li did not ask. He knows that there is always a reason for Philip to appear here. When the time comes, Philip will speak; he does not need to be anxious, and there is no need to be anxious. On the contrary, when Philip appears, Lan Li can always relax and find peace. .
The car drove steadily on the slightly uneven road in New Orleans, but Lanly did not feel the slightest bump. All the thoughts in the brain were completely emptied, completely relaxed, and a kind of being in Venice was vaguely produced. The illusion is like lying on a gondola, feeling the laziness of the afternoon sun amidst the swaying and swaying waves of the sea, and it is difficult to tell whether it is a dream or reality.
"Philip, when was the last time you left home?" Lan Li asked curiously when he was half-asleep and half-awake.
"Tuscany in the summer of 2000." Philip answered succinctly without looking back.
A picture immediately appeared in Lan Li's mind, and a small smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Ha, the time when we sneaked away on a bicycle in the villa, right?" That was a very, very distant memory. But the picture of the memory is still lifelike. That time only he and Matthew, Andre and Eaton went to other places for vacation, "Do you know what we found? A waterfall, hidden in the dense forest, seems to have never A secret wonderland that no one has ever reached."
Philip glanced at the rearview mirror from the corner of his gaze, and asked, "Do you like it?"
Some accidents.
Because Philip rarely takes the initiative to ask questions, most of the time he only answers passively. This is also one of the professional rules of housekeepers: try to avoid proactively opening topics, they do not need to complete the conversation, just passively accept the information wastebasket , And then put all the information in the stomach.
The corners of Lan Li's mouth raised slightly, revealing a hint of playfulness, but he didn't say much, "Yes. At first, it was because we secretly escaped from the villa. I knew that George and Elizabeth wouldn't care, but they broke their rules. It was particularly interesting; however, all our attention was then focused on the natural scenery. Being in the forest and the waterfall, all the troubles of life became no longer important, it was like a forever I don’t want to wake up from the dream."
That was the first time that Lan Li truly experienced the magnificence and magnificence of natural scenery. Since then, he has opened the door to a whole new world.
"...Is that why you refused to return to the main house?" Philip asked again.
Lan Li opened his eyes, this was really abnormal.
Philip immediately realized that he had crossed the line, "Sorry, Master Lan Li."
Lan Li closed his eyes again, and just when Philip thought that Lan Li had fallen asleep again, he heard a low, deep answer, "Yeah."
Really feel the vastness and unobstructed nature of nature, and be able to truly breathe the breath of freedom. That kind of taste will never be forgotten. It is released from the body to the spirit in all directions; returning to the main house, the whole person You can feel the ubiquitous sense of imprisonment all over the body, and the intangible to tangible **** is almost breathless.
Although he is a rebirth traverser, Lan Li has never really understood the so-called "freedom", because his life was imprisoned in countless frames in his previous life. For him, the life of the Hall family was not It's unfamiliar, and can even adapt well; his only idea is to become an actor.
He just rushed towards a goal with all his strength. He has his own perseverance, but he has never really broken the frame of the small hoops in the school. He is always just playing and having fun within the frame, which is not a special challenge; but in the process of growing up, But he knew himself little by little, and opened himself little by little. Facing the second life, he really started to reshape himself.
That was the first time he felt real freedom.
"Renly-Hall" was not originally Lanly-Hall's.
Tuscany~lightnovelpub.net~ That is really a very distant memory.
Unexpectedly, it has been so long since Philip left London last time.
Just as Lan Li was about to ask, after such a long journey, and still spanning the entire Atlantic Ocean, how did Philip feel? Is this the first time Philip left the European continent? Has the jet lag been adjusted now? Are there any special gains here? New Orleans is obviously a very suitable city for Philip. He personally has a special preference for jazz, so how does he feel?
Inexplicably, Lan Li thought of the Titanic. Philip was not in that era, but Philip's father was in the era of the Titanic, and he needed a cruise to reach the other side of the ocean; but even in the era when the plane was very convenient, Philip never arrived in the United States.
This is really interesting, isn't it? As for Philip's reason for coming to New Orleans, is it that important? Now there are more topics worth discussing.
Unexpectedly, Lan Li hadn't figured out which question to ask first, but Philip spoke first, "Master Lan Li, I am going to retire."
