The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)
Chapter 915: Premiere night
On the bustling streets, there are cars coming and going. At two o'clock in the afternoon, the traffic jam is not too serious, but it is still flowing. In the car array, a dark blue coupe is so low-key. If you don’t deliberately look at it, you will ignore the Bentley logo in front of the front of the car and think it is just an ordinary car. .
Only the nobles of the real upper class can taste the difference in details. Every detail of this car is unique and completely customized; and according to the style and taste of the family and the owner, every inch of decoration in the car is purely handmade.
A sharp-eyed person can judge the specific family affiliation and even the specific owner affiliation only by relying on the streamline of the body: this is the car of Baron George Hall, the most noble and expensive car in the entire Hall family. The car, inherited from George's grandfather.
For ordinary occasions, the Hall's family also has another relatively ordinary Bentley, which is used in and out; only on grand and special formal occasions that show the baron's demeanor and posture, this car will be sent out.
Richard Martin has been the driver of the Hall family for quite a while. He has always been driving smoothly and smoothly. He is familiar with the streets and lanes of London, and can easily control the road conditions of every road. He never feels bumpy; but At this time, Arthur Hall felt that his chest was burning with panic, and the feeling of going up and down was really indescribable.
Playing with the retro pocket watch with his right hand, he repeatedly opened and closed the lid, closed and opened, and the crisp sound reverberated in the carriage; after the hesitation and entanglement to the end, Arthur did not hold back after all, and looked back at Elf. "Can I not attend? You can handle it alone. I think you are the perfect candidate."
Elf Hall dressed up tonight, wearing a pearl white evening dress, retro design from the 1960s, the presence of the waist and waistcoat, outlines the slender and perfect waist, lace patterns and handmade folds cleverly conceal The figure is curved, but it outlines an exquisite arc, graceful with nobleness, a silky long hair is tied into a bun, the lines are not messy, and the elegance is brought with a cool temperament.
Facing Arthur's irritability, Elf did not have any unnecessary fluctuations, the corners of her mouth did not turn up, but she seemed to be smiling; the calmness of her eyes revealed her calmness. Even if you didn't speak, it was enough for Arthur to understand what she meant: You have no choice.
Arthur rolled his eyes, groaned in annoyance, and murmured, "Don’t look at me like this. This is between you and Lanly. You two fight, don’t pull me in, I’m Caddy, yes, caddie." Both Elf and Renly are perverts. He is a normal person in the middle, at the level of cannon fodder. He now misses Edith: isn't that guy in London? Wait, or is it in Glasgow?
With a light sigh, Arthur finally adjusted his sitting posture, with a helpless look of resignation, "So, what are our attitudes? Do we know Renly?"
Tonight, the Hall family sent Elf and Arthur to attend the premiere night of "Les Miserables". The two of them will represent the attitude of the Hall family and will also establish the trend of upper-class rumors for a period of time. The task is arduous.
"Arthur, you are smarter than you think." Elf's elegant and decent words, with an ironic effect, made Arthur roll his eyes again. "We attended the premiere night, but we will not visit Lanly in private. This is our attitude."
Hall. This surname is the best connection. Lanly did not avoid it, nor did Elf and Arthur. Therefore, they are a family, and everyone who attended the premiere night tonight clearly understands; Hall The family will not be ashamed, let alone timid, but accept the invitation of the premiere night upright, which is the dignity and pride of the nobility.
However, the Hall family still refused to accept the existence of Lan Li. They only treat Lan Li as an actor. What kind of treatment is given to other actors? What kind of treatment is Lan Li. More importantly, the people present were Elf and Arthur, not George and Elizabeth, and the attitude of the Hall family was clear at a glance.
Arthur's eyes widened, he let out a sigh, and curled his lips to show that he was watching, "Anyway, I'm a caddie. I'll leave it to you tonight." He knew clearly that Lan Li was definitely not a type of surrendering with his hands. , There are definitely many invisible swords and shadows tonight.
While talking, the Almeida Theater appeared in sight. Through the windows, you can see the long array of cars on the street. There are really a lot of vehicles waiting to get off. You can see a lot of them with a casual glance. Familiar with the face, before entering the theater, you can picture the flowers on the warm-up party in your mind.
Richard Martin slowly parked the car on the side of the road, Arthur's eyes glimpsed, and the exclamation involuntarily overflowed, "Is Emma Fielding crazy? She actually invited Alistair- Smith (Alistair-Smith)?"
Alistair Smith, a senior drama writer for "Stage".
"Stage" is a newspaper established in 1880. It is one of the oldest and most influential stage art newspapers in the world. Based in London, this newspaper is published once a week and is distributed globally. It is loved by stage art lovers and practitioners in the UK and around the world for its rich information, truthful reports, and accurate and in-depth analysis.
In the United Kingdom, almost every theater job, producer, and professional theater practitioner will read this weekly theater newspaper indefinitely; even Broadway theater practitioners are no exception. Despite the general downturn in contemporary drama, this newspaper has survived tenaciously and has become more and more prosperous. It has reached the present on the path of professionalism and authority, and its powerful influence has even surpassed that of The Times. The status of the "New York Times" to the United Kingdom and the United States.
"Stage" is currently the only newspaper that never asks for articles. In order to maintain their authority and independence, they will replace a group of top freelance writers every once in a while, hoping to keep the writers professional, objective and Profound, healthy competition is formed; only a very small part of the industry’s big players can have their own columns on the "stage".
Aristel Smith is such an existence. His comment column on the "stage" has lasted for nearly two decades. Not long ago, there was news in the industry that the newspaper intended to give the position of editor-in-chief to Aristel, not only because of his authority, but also because of his uniqueness and objectivity. He will watch, learn, and communicate with independent dramas in almost every corner of the world.
After entering the 21st century, theater is a very, very small circle. Professional writers at the level of Aristel, who give negative reviews or criticisms to a new play after it debuts, the success rate of this play is often reduced by half.
Their authority comes from objectivity and professionalism, and they never compromise. Even if they are big stars, even big producers, even if they are big investments, they will never be soft. Because the theater industry has weakened, they are holding on to their last pride. This is also the source of motivation for the theater industry not to be eroded by the film industry.
People are often wondering why the Broadway Tony Award and the Oliver Award in the West End are always so high, and even disdain for film actors, and those film actors are always admiring these two awards and drama. The above is the reason: professional enough, objective enough, and authoritative enough.
Any new play in the West End of London will be staged and Aristel will be there. Some are first performances, some are not. More often, he will choose a certain unexpected moment in a low-key manner, watch the drama, and then wait a few days, silently release the commentary, and give the crew a huge surprise-as a gift It's still a bomb, only to know when the drama review is announced.
After the habit gradually formed, few people would take the initiative to invite Aristel to attend the premiere. Because everyone knows that he will definitely watch and write drama reviews, and he will never show his face. Even when some people sent out invitations, Aristel didn't buy it at all, and instead made a face of gray.
Just now, Arthur noticed Alistair. Even the nobles, they will also read Aristel's drama reviews as a reference; this industry's top drama critic, relying on his talent and ability, does indeed occupy a place in the upper class of London.
Elf didn’t make a fuss. He swept his eyes around and noticed Alistair’s figure; after waiting for Arthur to get out of the car, she stretched out her right hand and helped Elf get out of the car. She held Ya Se's arm, then whispered, "How do you know that it was not invited by Andre Hamilton?"
With the face of Emma Fielding alone, it is estimated that Aristel will not buy it at all.
Arthur thought about it seriously~lightnovelpub.net~ had to lightly chin and expressed his approval. It's just that, whether Andre's move was a help or a disservice, it's unclear.
At the moment at the entrance of the Almeida Theater, people come and go, bustling, the crowded scene is even a bit noisy, the wide streets are full of people on both sides, the large crowds of people make it look like the Moulin Rouge in Paris In such a popular tourist attraction, all styles, all temperaments, and all gestures have become vulgar.
At the entrance of the theater stood a large group of people, digging their heads, talking, and dancing with joy; the road was full of different faces, they held up the sign in their hands, "buy tickets", "please give me one "Tickets" and "Is there any extra tickets?" His eyes were full of longing and pleading.
Everyone in the line of sight, at least most of them, are all dressed up, even if it is not a three-piece suit, a tuxedo, an evening dress, at least a suit with a shirt, and shiny leather shoes. The preparation for the performance and the etiquette were in place; but the crowd was too noisy, and there was no elegance at all.
Elf had a decent smile on his face, "Fortunately, my father and mother did not attend."
