It was only two o'clock in the afternoon, and the enthusiasm at the entrance of the Almeida Theatre was early to set off the rising expectations. The noisy and noisy one after another, outlined a unique corner of London's West End; but in the eyes of the upper class, there was nothing Style at all.

Commerce and art are always two contradictory individuals; but in reality, every artist is pursuing the integration of the two. For the nobles, they would rather starve to death than lower their taste and dignity. Therefore, they naturally hate such a scene.

After the death of Princess Diana. The Queen of England has always refused to meet with the public, and even more refused to show her vulnerability in public; because in the eyes of the Queen, this is a family affair and also a scandal. However, this move of the Queen of England met with opposition and protests from the people all over the country, and some even proposed abolishing the royal family. In the end, the queen had to compromise.

This real event was later adapted into the movie "Queen". Although the script of the film has a serious tendency, it completely defended it from the standpoint of the royal family, and completely avoided the irreconcilable contradiction between the queen and Princess Diana; but it is undeniable that this does show the attitude of the British aristocracy.

For the sight of the Almeida Theater. The situation is different, but the truth is the same.

Elf had a decent smile on his face, "Fortunately, my father and mother did not attend."

Without saying much, Arthur understood. For the young people of the generation of Elf and Arthur, they have accepted the changes of the times, just as the queen finally appeared, showing their vulnerability and condolences before the people; but for the generation of George and Elizabeth For young people, and even older generations, they still refuse to compromise.

Arthur raised his eyebrows and murmured, "I look forward to their presence even more. The scene must be wonderful." He can stand by and look forward to a good show. But then, Arthur felt the gaze from Elf. He closed his mouth and pretended that nothing happened. He stretched out his left arm and asked Elf to hold it, before moving away as a flower protector. Up the pace.

After walking through the crowd and entering the theater, the waiting hall on the first floor is full of flowers, so lively and well-dressed audiences, with champagne in their hands, pretending to be VIPs of the upper class, as if attending a Christmas party; but, Arthur The footsteps with Elf did not stop, and they went straight to the second floor and climbed up the steps.

Scarlet carpets, dark yellow oak walls, creamy yellow halo, and creaking wooden boards occasionally under the feet, telling the history and story of this theater, after walking to the second floor, avoiding the left side The crowded audience hall walked towards the heavy wooden door on the right, and only after showing the invitation letter to the waiter at the door was it possible to enter.

Entering the VIP room, a noble and elegant warm-up party is presented in front of you. The restless sound and crowded people are left behind. The clothes are fragrant and graceful, decent, and coquettish, which fades away the early summer-like irritability, leaving behind With the warmth of spring and summer communication, my mood gradually calmed down.

It was Andre who came up head-on. His handsome face was filled with a suave smile, and a dark blue suit set off the tall and straightforward temperament, "Hey, I finally waited for you. I just paid Thinking, should I call Arthur so that you don’t run away."

Faced with such Chi Guoguo's jokes, Elf didn't care, his smile hardly changed, and changed the subject, "I don't know, you are actually the doorman today?"

A touch of ridicule, a touch of ridicule, a touch of sharpness, the counterattack was completed in the understatement, but without tearing his face. Elf's etiquette in social situations is still perfect; but Andre doesn't buy it.

"If it weren't for me to be the doorman, it's still unknown whether this show can be staged today. What do you think?" Andre's edges and corners are so sharp, and there is no hidden intention at all, it will be pierced. past.

Arthur, who was watching with folded arms, couldn't help crying out of pain from deep in his heart, but Elf didn't change his face, and his calm smile seemed to be looking at a child with a temper.

Andre curled his lips without concealing his disgusting expression, "Elf, you are always so boring. God, how did the Hall family get out of this freak, Lan Li." Freak, use it here. There was praise everywhere, and Andre glanced at Arthur in passing, "You are the same."

Same, like who? And Elf? Or with Lan Li?

Arthur shrugged slightly and responded with a look of "I am also very helpless, I am also very pitiful, and I am also very innocent".

Andre just ignored him and was about to leave; but Elf did not disarm and surrender, but interrupted Andre’s words and actions with a smile, "As a doorman, don’t you plan to tell us about tonight’s The repertoire? Let us be prepared and don’t miss the excitement of tonight."

"I believe that your preparation is more complete than mine." But Andre didn't take the noble social etiquette at all, blocked it back, "Elf, please, you are the most passionate of everyone I know. It’s about drama; don’t tell me, you don’t have any research on tonight’s repertoire?"

Andre’s provocation carries a wave of unrestrained and unruly randomness. Every movement, every look, every detail breaks the rules of the nobility, but it also has an innate temperament, "Simply summarize, A group of actors who have never heard of a name, starring in a well-known play, that's all."

Elf was not angry, but chuckled, "So you are aware of this." A faint sarcasm and ridicule were revealed, but then he converged back, "However, the experimental repertoire is always like this, and it needs to be bold. And arrogant attempt. No matter what the result, this is always worthy of recognition."

The subtext is: tonight's play will be doomed to fail.

Without warning, Andre laughed out loud. Such an extraordinary and inexplicable response made Elf's words stuck in the air abruptly, and for a while he didn't know how to proceed.

However, it was not the first day that Elf met Andre, and he was not panicked; on the contrary, Arthur, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but listened to Andre's explanation, "Lenly said, you would definitely think so. . God, your words and deeds are really too predictable."

Arthur lowered his head, otherwise his smile would be uncontrollable.

Elf is still calm, the perfect smile on the corners of her mouth has no flaws, "daisy-ridley (daisy-ridley), joe-alyn (joe-alyn), tom-holland (tom-), charlotte) Charlotte-kennedy, karis-jack, ezra-miller."

One by one, the names were uttered in the round London accent. Then, Elf paused for a moment, and the corners of his mouth rose, "No name has ever been heard; and all of them are twenty. A year-old child." Elf chuckled, "Heh", that perfect manner is impeccable, "Is it the high school student version of "Les Miserables" that we are enjoying tonight?"

Andre spread his hands indifferently, "At least, the only one Elf Hall now remembers these names. This is the beginning." That frank and relaxed gesture made Elf's irony. It fell on cotton, and this is not the end.

"I still have things to deal with, so I won't entertain you anymore. I don't think I need to introduce you today, and I promise you will never get bored." Andre didn't stay too much, and didn't even have too much politeness. , Raise your foot and prepare to leave.

Standing under the big tree of "The Duke of Hamilton", Andre has been accustomed to it since he was a child. He has never really cared about the so-called aristocratic etiquette, and no one can restrain him. Of course, he is a smart man, and his etiquette will never pick out a thorn in occasions where rules are really needed; privately, he and Prince Harry have a good relationship.

Facing the two representatives of the Hall family, Andre had no intention of giving face. In Hall's house, except for Lan Li, Andre didn't buy anyone else. Edith barely counts as half.

"Today's repertoire, I hope you will enjoy it." Andre said meaningfully, and a touch of pride appeared in his eyes. Before he left, he added, "If you have special requirements for drinks, I suggest you go to Eaton. -Domer and Matthew Dunlop, they are today's public relations." After speaking, Andre blinked and turned away with brisk footsteps.

Then, Elf and Arthur were exposed to everyone.

If there is a seemingly non-existent look, a deep smile, inadvertent eyes... everywhere, silently surrounding Elf and Arthur.

It is not the kind of direct sight or greeting, but a thin layer of mist, which flickers and flickers, flickering and flickering. It seems that you can't feel any extra emotions, but there is gloating and talking under the surface. But the dark tide is surging one after another, and the invisible swords and swords are almost suffocating.

Tonight’s Almeida Theater ~lightnovelpub.net~ is like a tiger's den in a dragon pond. The noise on the first floor, the twitter from the civilian audience; the silence on the second floor, the onlookers from the upper class, the turbulent and quiet collision, like a whirlpool, did not leave too much room for the two of Elf and Arthur .

As Andre said, Elf and Arthur will never be bored, they can be called the focus of the audience. Strictly speaking, compared with the party in front of him, Longtan and Tiger's Nest seemed to have become cute.

Is this the scene Lan Li is looking forward to? Or, is this the counterattack that George and Elizabeth forced Renly to desperately desperately?

"Let's go." Invisible, Elf lifted his chin slightly, and the delicate face burst out with a firm and powerful light. In a trance, a trace of blue gift can be captured.

Elf took Arthur's arm and chose to attack.

The tension is flowing slowly in the Almeida Theater, not only the waiting hall on the first floor, not just the VIP room on the second floor; at the same time, the tension is also felt in the backstage, the sliding sound of the time hourglass It is becoming clearer and clearer, and the air seems to be ignited at any time.
