The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)

Chapter 685: Nowhere for home

In between.

The Hall family met for the first time in two years, but it took a while. From the meeting to the separation, in just two minutes, the strangers who met at the party were almost at this level. However, it was only two minutes of conversation, but it was full of information. First, it was about Lan Li's actor career, and it was **** for tat; then, it was a good fight for the next winter hunt.

Under the gaze of everyone, under the lock of countless double gossip sights, this is their ultimate. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the youngest son of the Hall family is a sting, not only stinging the faces of George and Elizabeth, but also stinging the dignity of the Hall couple.

After nearly two years of disappearing in the upper social circle of London, everyone thinks that Lanly was banished and left, just like the protagonist of the previous scandal in the family, banished to Sicily or the Scottish Highlands, far away from the public eye, and living a life of misery. And the lonely life was gradually forgotten by people, and this life was lost.

At least, the Halls are showing such a gesture.

But two years later, Lan Li returned, raising his head high, and returning in an upright and open manner. As a Hollywood actor and a commercial popcorn actor, this is not a commendable honor, but the temperament and heritage displayed by Lan Li has gradually transformed into the brilliance of an artist, which makes people eye-catching.

Perhaps this description is not accurate, but people really think of the "Count of Monte Cristo", the Count of Monte Cristo who returned with a strong desire for revenge. However, Lan Li did not pretend to be someone else, or even put on the mask of aristocratic life, just like that, he reappeared in the sight of everyone again.

What a good show!

A short two-minute conversation, but for the boring people in the upper class, it is the afternoon tea for the next month. Eyes, expressions, tone, movements, and even words verbatim will become the focus of people's discussion, and then they will be interpreted from their own perspective.

What's more wonderful is that this is just the beginning.

The youngest son of the Hall family has clearly made a name in Hollywood. In the future, if his career exhibition gets more and more prosperous, the scar on the facade of the Hall family will become bigger and bigger, making it difficult to hide the ugliness. Naturally, it is getting bigger and bigger.

One day, things will have a result. Either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, George and Elizabeth figured out a way to draw salaries from the bottom of the tank and cut off all the connections between Lan Li and the British upper class; or the west wind overwhelmed the east wind, Lan Li rises strongly and is recognized as an artist, then Lan Li will be recognized as an artist by then. He will become a character like o1fgang-mozard and become a sought-after object of countless nobles.

The story is so familiar, reminiscent of "The Moon and Sixpence".

So, how will this big show of the Hall family come to an end? Among the whispers, people later discovered that the topic of the Hall family is obviously not only here. Elf, who is a doctor, Arthur, who has connections in most of Europe, and Edith, the official photographer of the United Nations, seem to be worthy of the gossip of this family. Dig it hard.

Coming in a hurry, abandoning the warning, and hurried away. Lan Li was not surprised at all. At least compared to last year's Elf, George and Elizabeth tonight seemed to be forced to the corner. There was a trace of true emotions between their eyes and words, and it was still in full view. It's not easy.

It is conceivable that after going back tonight, George and Elizabeth will inevitably sleep in separate rooms, and then say nothing, it is extremely cold. This is their way to deal with anger, not to vent it out loudly.

George and Elizabeth did not leave the party immediately because it would make them look embarrassed. On the contrary, the two stayed there for a long time, and started socializing freely, as if the episode just now was just inside the family. Just one conversation. At about 8:35, the two of them left the party.

After the Halls left, John was at a loss. He knew little about the verbal confrontation between the nobles. Then Lanly talked about "Peter Pan" again, and he withdrew his attention and started again. Talk.

Eaton standing next to him shook his head helplessly, patted Lan Li's shoulder, motioned his eyes, and then turned and left. He is the host tonight, and there are a lot of guests to entertain.

Watching Eaton leave, Lan Li sensed the sight coming from behind, raised his head, and then saw two figures on the balcony on the second floor, Arthur and Edith.

Edith’s entire upper body was pressed against the railing, the glass of amber whiskey in her right hand seemed to be full of stars under the light, and the brilliant smile at the corner of her mouth could be vaguely seen. When she noticed Lan Li’s gaze, she was still facing Lan Li. Li raised the cup to express the meaning of celebration.

Arthur was leaning against the railing at his waist, and his upper body was a bit lazy, like a cat who was not awake. He also held a glass of whiskey in his hand, grabbed the edge of the cup with his fingertips, and shook it gently, slightly squinted eyes showing a look of optimism. The pride and comfort of the play. His gaze fell on Lan Li without concealment, and then he whispered something to Edith, and both of them laughed.

But Lan Li didn't mind, raised the champagne glass, gestured at the two people, showing a small smile, then retracted his gaze and continued to talk with John.

But when she caught the sly light in the depths of Lan Li’s eyes, Edith couldn’t help but was stunned, her smile stopped at the corner of her mouth, "Arthur, did you say that Lan Li was calculating something? Why do I think we are being calculated? Go in?"

Arthur also noticed Lan Li’s smile. Before he could think about it, he heard Edith’s guess, "No, we didn’t do anything. Moreover, Lan Li will be too busy for a while. Where is there time to pay attention to us?"

"But we did watch a good show here just now, and we also grabbed the position of the VIP box." Edith said hesitantly. Even George and Elizabeth didn't show the existence of the two of them, but Lanli noticed.

Neither of them spoke, but looked at each other quietly, then quietly looked away, and made the same action: lifted their glass and took a sip of whiskey. Not long after, the two left one after another without saying a word and parted ways.

Lan Li and John did not talk for too long. John repeatedly told Lan Li not to forget the basic skills, and said that he would go to the cinema to watch "Love Is Crazy" and see Lan Li's "real materials". Because John has never seen "Buried alive" or "Pacific War", he has always been skeptical of the so-called praise of the media. Now, "Love is crazy" has a chance to take a closer look.

After leaving John, Lanly just stood there, and people kept coming up to visit him. Some are old acquaintances in the past, especially students from the University of Cambridge-Cambridge University has always been a place for advanced studies with a strong artistic atmosphere. There are many students who have entered the Hollywood or theater circle; some have completely unfamiliar faces and can't wait. I want to come forward to make a blue gift.

The unveiling ceremony tonight is not a gathering of nobles, but more of a commercial party. Therefore, there are nobles, but there are also many young upstarts in different fields.

Popular actors like Lan Li, who are rising fiercely, are always the most sought-after presence on such occasions. Because after the party, when showing off to friends, "I made a Hollywood star" is always more worthy of discussion than "I know an earl."

However, Lan Li did not stay for long. At about 8:45, Lan Li left Eaton.

Leaving the house, Lan Li did not rush to find a taxi or call Richard, but walked slowly along the street. The footsteps in the night, the soles of the feet can hear the sound from the wet road, echoing between the quiet streets, it seems that even the engine of the car passing by cannot be heard. It is unimaginable that this is Saturday night, and It's less than nine o'clock.

Sitting in front of Arthur, he can take it easy; standing in front of George, he can be confident; standing in front of Elizabeth, he can fight back. In that coldness, he never seemed to have been, nor would he care. Perhaps, deep down, he has never regarded this place as his home. Or maybe it once existed, but now it doesn't exist anymore.

Looking up at the ink-colored sky, there is no starlight~lightnovelpub.net~ The dense night seems to turn into raindrops and fall down at any time. What naturally emerged in my mind was the sky in New York and the sky in Los Angeles. At this moment, he missed the California sunshine. The nights there are always so beautiful. The warm sea breeze is blowing, the stars are falling, the laughter of boys and girls, the roar of engines, the music of bars and nightclubs. , Echoing in the ear, so lively, so lonely, so cozy, so free.

"When we were born, we were waiting for death; we had dreams, but never won your approval; I have been working hard, trying to ease the relationship between us, you are so perfect but so cruel, you say, Love in the whole world cannot be satisfied. Nothing can hurt me more than this truth."

The melody humming softly escaped from his mouth. He used to work so hard, he once cherished it, he used to be so persistent, and wanted to make up for the regrets of the previous life with the affection of this life. He looked up to Elizabeth, he Looking forward to George, but being hurt again and again, the enthusiasm so full of enthusiasm has cooled down, the end of the riddled with holes, forcing myself to be strong, cold, and independent, and become an invincible, indestructible blue gift-Huo You.

But when he was really facing each other, the softness of his heart was still hit again. The world is so big, but there is nowhere to put it.

"My dear, welcome back to my home in California. You don’t need to call to inform, you can leave at any time. There is an inner vision hanging on the bedside, and the eyes are shining with unknown light. I don’t know. Please tell me, because I want to know if you Still feeling lonely?"

Are you still alone?
