The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)
Chapter 951: Big feast
The thunderous applause was continuous and prolonged, circling and surging vigorously throughout the Almeida Theater. The grand audience stood up in a group, pushing the turbulent applause to incredible heights little by little. /tide.
Edith slapped her hands vigorously. Before her brain realized it, she had stood up, forgetting about it, feeling agitated. After a moment of daze, she realized that her excitement was likely to be exposed to George’s radar. Hastily converged carefully.
At this moment, she finally really understood what Arthur meant, "You will like it." A simple sentence contained too much.
The figure was hidden behind the curtain of the box, and Edith secretly looked at it.
In the next box, Richard de Vere raised his hands high, placed them on his chest, and slapped excitedly and excitedly. At the same time, he shook his head with an unbelievable face, and every cell under his body was full of excitement. Filled with joy and happiness; George standing next to him was a little stiff, especially his straight shoulders revealed his tension, but he still had to join the applause.
"Puff." Edith laughed gleefully. With just this scene, today's adventure is worth the price.
Last time Arthur saw Elf's gaffe; today she saw George's compromise, and the two of them were even.
"Matthew, you said, would Richard ask to meet with Lan Li?" Edith tilted her body slightly and yelled in Matthew's ear. There was no storm of applause in the theater. Signs of stopping, even if the sound is hoarse, the sound falling on the eardrum is still sparse.
Matthew turned his head, and then saw Edith's impatient smile. He did not conceal his mentality of watching a good show. Matthew nodded restrained, but the answer was extremely positive, "Yes!"
Edith smiled and agreed, "I think so too." So, she doesn't plan to leave for the time being. This good show has just begun. It would be a pity if you miss it. Even if you need to take some risks, she is willing. .
Withdrawing her gaze, Edith glanced towards the box and auditorium on the other side. Today's performance was really wonderful and I was fully engaged; during the intermission, she secretly hid her whereabouts in order to avoid George, so she never took a good look at the guests who arrived today. Until now.
"Jesus Christ, is that Princess Madeleine-Gustaf? The one next to her is...why is it familiar?" Edith had expected it, and there would never be a lack of nobles in the box. 'S figure, but at this time still showed a look of surprise.
Madeleine Gustav, the little princess of the Swedish royal family, ranks third on the succession list. She is “famous” in London. About ten years ago, Madeleine came to London to study English, but she was addicted to parties, abandoned her studies, did not do business, and behaved frivolously. Only two months later, she went back to Sweden in a desperate manner.
In addition, Madeleine's love affair is also vigorous, because the man's cheating scandal, reduced to the laughing stock of the paparazzi.
Today, Madeleine appeared in Andre Hamilton's box. Edith was surprised, on the one hand, because of the honorable status of the other party, on the other hand, because the West End of London is really not Madeleine's style; however, considering the friendship between André and Madeleine, it seems that it is not so Surprised.
"Chris-O’Neal." Matthew answered and then explained, "Wall Street."
Because it was too noisy at this time to be suitable for a long explanation, she simply said a key word; however, Edith immediately reacted, and her jaw expressed her understanding, "I've heard the rumors."
Chris O'Neill is a banker and an upstart on Wall Street. The family background is relatively simple and has no accumulation. In fact, in the eyes of the nobles, he is a nouveau riche. Chris is only the rich second generation; however, his mother has made a breakthrough in the Upper East Side of New York, and is now a socialite — a positive meaning Kind.
At the beginning of last year, Madeleine and Chris came together. At that time, Edith was in New York. Rumors entered her ears for the first time, but she didn't take it to heart and saw it with her own eyes.
"Even Madeleine Gustav has appeared, so will William and Kate join hands in the next step?" Edith raised her eyebrows and made a joke—it said naturally. It is Prince William and Princess Kate.
Matthew replied in a loud voice, "Princess Beatrice attended yesterday."
Princess Beatrice, the granddaughter of the Queen of England, the eldest daughter of Prince Andrew, ranked seventh among the heirs to the throne.
Born in 1988, she has always been approachable. Three years ago, she worked in a department store as a private shopping consultant for VIP guests. Now she is still majoring in art creation at university. Interestingly, in 2009, she appeared in the British film "Young The Queen’s Maid appeared in "Victoria", which is also the first time a member of the British royal family has appeared in a movie.
For a long time, Beatrice hopes to find a job in New York fashion and media.
Beatrice's presence not only means that the reputation of "Les Miserables" has spread among the nobles; it also means that Lan Li has the opportunity to open the royal gap as an actor.
"God, I really hope things happen today." Edith couldn't help sighing. If Princess Beatrice and George Hall meet at the Almeida Theater, and Renly is invited to appear, this is the real annual show. "Wait, is that Maggie Smith and Ian-McKellen?"
"In Eaton’s box, Helen Mirren made an appointment for the day after tomorrow, as well as Peter Otto and Patrick-Steart." Compared to Edith’s surprise, Matthew has become accustomed to it. Yun Danfeng said lightly, throwing out one heavyweight name after another.
Edith was taken aback for a moment, and then returned to normal, nodded with a big smile, "It seems that the West End should be very lively for some time to come; and George and Elizabeth will be very suffering. God, I really shouldn't I missed this good show. I now start to think that these nobles are a little cute."
Amid the applause, the words of Edith and Matthew were smashed into pieces. The two did not continue to talk, but intently called on the actors to return to the scene. Sixteen minutes, tonight's applause lasted for sixteen minutes, until the final curtain call of Lan Li, the audience still reluctant to give up and linger.
The six-hour performance left too much aftertaste.
...
Edith did not leave the theater immediately, she still hid carefully in the box of Dunlop's house, surreptitiously observing every move in the box next door——
Sure enough, Richard couldn't wait and impatiently hope to meet with Lan Li.
At first, George tried to dissuade him, but he did not expect that Richard even wanted to leave the box, go backstage in person, talk face-to-face with Renly, and express his affection. George was panicked, so Emma -Fading and Matthew Dunlop had to come forward, and after pacifying Richard, they brought Lan Li over.
Lan Li did not arrogantly refuse, he politely came to the box, and he didn't even have time to replace his costume.
Lan Li and Richard had a very happy conversation, and the two had a lot of conversations about the repertoire and the performance. It can be seen that Richard is a true play idiot, with unique insights, deep understanding, and advanced taste. Not only does he not let down the wind when talking with professionals, but he also talks more deeply and gets more excited as he talks.
Edith was sitting in the box next door, and the conversation was extremely clear. Although she can't see George's expression, she can taste his depression and aggrieved from George's silence. Such a father is too strange, but too funny, Edith has to bite hard. Tighten your teeth to avoid the crisis of belly laughter.
Just as Edith was thinking about when George would interrupt the conversation, drive away Lan Li, and end the shame, Lan Li said goodbye.
"Len Li!" George's tense voice revealed his anger and humiliation, but he controlled it in time and dissuaded him, "The Lord obviously has a lot of opinions on the repertoire, why don't you continue to talk? Or, we can meet again at lunch tomorrow and have a good talk."
"Sorry. There will still be a performance tomorrow. I am very sorry that I cannot agree to the Lord's invitation. As for now, Sir Maggie Smith and Sir Ian McLean are in the next box, I must go and say hello."
Both Maggie and Ian received the Queen’s canonization and enjoyed the title of jazz. Both actors were old drama bones with important positions among the nobles.
"Oh, of course, of course. There is no question." It was Richard who answered, skipping and ignoring George, and readily agreed, "Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I will visit the Almeida Theater again. For actors, stage and performance are always the most important ~lightnovelpub.net~ I understand this deeply, otherwise, you will not be able to give such a wonderful performance."
After a brief greeting, Lan Li really left.
Edith was trying to make up for George’s expression at this time, but the box door was suddenly pushed open. She was frightened, her heart squeezed suddenly, and then she heard Lan Li’s voice, "The rat in the theater has recently become more and more powerful. It's getting noisier." Then, he closed the box door and walked away.
Edith, who stayed in place, rolled her eyes and gritted her teeth: That **** fellow.
After closing the box door, Lan Li smiled at Matthew behind him, "Don't worry, I can handle the rest." Then he lifted his chin slightly, indicating the direction of the Hall's box. How is it, did I just behave well?"
Matthew gently chinked his head in agreement, "Very good."
Lan Li chuckled softly, and patted Matthew on the shoulder, "Thank you, please guide the thunderous gentleman out of the theater." Otherwise, George would be angry if he found Edith at this time.
