Chapter 684

"For those who refuse to leave the European continent for their whole lives, New York or Los Angeles is a good place to go on holiday. However, it seems that some people are always denying that the Amazon jungle is pregnant with advanced civilization that we can not explore, and that the African continent is the origin of human beings. For them, the North American continent is still the wilderness of Columbus era. The times are progressing, but some people's time is always standing still. "

Leisurely, chatting and laughing, like a spring breeze, a needle in the back.

Lan Li began to talk with a smile. The familiar faces he had not seen in two years seemed to have no change. Time left traces of years on their faces, but they did not change their habits, styles and manners. Lanli almost effortlessly controlled the social rhythm of the scene, and the onlookers who were waiting to see the jokes were doomed to lose.

He stayed in the "wild land" for two years, rolled in the world as an "actor" for two years, and was influenced and polluted by the "vulgar culture" for two years. Lan Li didn't become embarrassed, embarrassed, or vulgar. In the understated conversation, he was still sharp but elegant and steady.

In a trance, the youngest son of the hall family, who surprised the aristocratic social circle many years ago, once again appeared in front of people, and undoubtedly left a deep impression - as for the positive or negative, it's different opinions.

Looking at the masks in front of him becoming stiff and the smile between his eyebrows and eyes becoming more and more dispirited, Lan Li shrugged his shoulders and joked, "barbarians, always barbarians. I think there is some truth in this sentence. "

This is a sentence that appeared in the British Parliament at the beginning of the 20th century. At that time, the original words came from the aristocracy, refuted the argument that advanced civilization was hidden in the Amazon jungle, and made a condescending judgment. However, a century later, who is the barbarian now seems to have begun to change.

In the same sentence, Lan Li's use in today's society has become meaningful.

With that, Lan Li raised his glass of champagne and turned to leave. Eaton stood by and walked away, his eyes wide open, and he let out a long breath, "Jesus Christ, their faces are going to turn blue."

"The good play they're looking forward to hasn't come on yet." With his fingertips, Lan Li gently played with the champagne glass, as if playing the black and white keys. It's been eight minutes since we arrived at the scene, but George and Elizabeth still haven't shown up.

It's no surprise. Whether George or Elizabeth, they can't find Langley bitterly. They have to wait for Langley to come forward to greet them, and then leave a picture of "happy family" to other onlookers. But Langley won't do it. Arthur knows, Edith knows; George and Elizabeth, to be precise.

Now the question is, will George and Elizabeth take the initiative to come?

The words didn't have time to finish, Lan Li's pupil was slightly bright, caught the figure in the crowd.

It was a thin man about fifty years old. He had a loose white shirt, a loose suit and loose trousers. He looked as if he had a sack on his body. He was a bit slovenly and casual; A short light gray hair is trimmed flat, but the hairline has retreated to the back half of the forehead, revealing two-thirds of the skull, but the rest is like a pine needle, stubbornly and erect, outlining the master's character.

At this time, he was standing in the open garden behind the house, talking with a small group of people around him. The cream light made the lawn and trees of the garden look quiet and soft.

Langley looked back at Eaton. "Is this the man you're talking about?" Just now, Eaton said that there was a man, and Langley must want to see him.

Eaton nodded with a slight smile. "I met again by chance. I received a cooperation project to design costumes for a theatre company in Stockholm. The story is set in the royal family of Queen Victoria. In the process of cooperation, he was unexpectedly found to be one of the guest directors. Today, at the opening ceremony, he and several members of the company were in London, so I invited them to have a try. Unexpectedly, he really came. You told me that he never liked such occasions

While speaking, the thin man also noticed Lan Li. In fact, even if you want to ignore it, it is not an easy thing. Two people appear side by side in the garden, one is the host of the evening, the other is the focus of gossip. Naturally, the sight will be more or less projected in the past.

The thin man came face to face, but Lan Li didn't dare to wait for the other party's action, and took the initiative to meet him, "Mr. cod." Lan Li nodded politely and held out his right hand.

John Caird, holding Langley's right hand with a stern face, said, "you must have lost all your basic skills. What kind of movie was that in the summer before? What the hell? How can the rhythm of the performance be so chaotic? You must have been laughed to death by others. I can't believe you came out of our college. "

It's a reproach, but the joy between the eyebrows reveals the real emotion inside.

Lan Li bowed his head honestly, showing a sincere and clever appearance, "yes, I think so, too. Not long ago, I was wondering if I should go back to the stage for further study. If you don't polish your basic skills, you will lose them. After that, it's all the same

But John didn't buy it at all. "Hum," he said, "you'll know it's nice. The other teachers in the college have been paid by your sweet words, but they don't work here. You like to harm people everywhere. To be honest, last time I met Alison, she asked about your recent situation. What did you do to her? I've always been dreaming of you. "

"Alison? I'm innocent. " Blue Li widened his eyes and looked at John frankly to show his innocence.

John frowned slightly and looked at him carefully. Then he gave a "hum" and made it clear that he didn't believe it. This made him helpless and could only spread his hands helplessly.

John coed, a teacher at the Royal College of Arts, is the enlightening teacher of Langley. He is not only an interviewer for the entrance examination of Langley, but also a teacher of basic acting skills. It can be said that John brought out Langley.

John is not only an acting teacher, but also a famous drama director. His best field is William Shakespeare. In the west end of London, he directed more than a dozen Shakespeare's plays, and toured around the world, including Chicago, Houston and Seattle. Of course, he has also won the Oliver prize, the highest award in British drama.

This is a real industry magnate.

In the face of the "innocent" expression, John still didn't believe it. He just said, "since I always want to come back to the stage, why didn't I get any news? Right now, I'm planning a new play. If you come to audition for the leading actor, the chance is just around the corner. "

"I came to England this time and had a job. It's going to take a couple of months to finish filming in the crew. " Lan Li was honest and sincere.

John's eyes widened, his brows frowned, his shoulders shrugged, and he looked like "I knew it.". This made Lan Li laugh, "are you ready to rehearse Hamlet again?"

"Hamlet" is John's famous work in the west end of London. It was highly praised at that time, and a series of new actors were popular. However, compared with other popular dramas, "Hamlet" is too heavy and profound. After four years of performance in the west end of London, it was released in the mid-1990s, and it will be a special performance in the 21st century, I've played twice, once for two months and once for three months.

John shook his head. "Now we're talking about re rehearsing Peter Pan and les miserables.". In order to celebrate the 110th anniversary of the birth of Peter Pan, we are planning to rehearse a new version. When Peter grows up, Neverland is in danger of collapse. Therefore, Peter, who will never grow up, begins to grow up, and Captain Hook begins to grow old. "

"Why does it sound like I think of the literary version of Pirates of the Caribbean?" John's turn to make complaints about the ritual of blue's ritual, but then he thought it over. Just now, he was still talking. In the twinkling of an eye, he fell into thinking. Langley had to interrupt John's thinking, "what about the 'miserable world'? Isn't the Queen's theater still on? Why remake a version? "

"Les miserables" is the most frequently performed drama in Britain or the third most frequently performed drama on Broadway. In the UK, this play has not stopped since it appeared on the stage in 1985. After celebrating the 10th, 20th and 25th anniversary, it is still on stage.

"That's not the point." John waved his hand. Now his mind is not on chatting. "Why do you feel like Pirates of the Caribbean?"? I haven't seen that movie. It's just an adventure movie, isn't it? But Peter Pan is not. Where on earth did you get this association? "

In the face of his teacher's habit, lanli was familiar with it. He did not correct it, but followed John's words to discuss it.

"What is the story of Peter Pan? He is about our childhood dream, don't want to grow up, fight against evil, Miss innocence. However, when Peter grows up, he will inevitably face his own growth and confusion, but also against Captain Hook. In other words, they began to look for the spring of rejuvenation, return to innocence? Or do they accept the social reality and begin to adapt to the world? No matter which version, I think it is similar to the story of Pirates of the Caribbean. You can go and see the series. "

Lanli's words made John nod meaningfully, "the story I'm thinking about now..." the words were interrupted in the middle of the conversation, because Eaton gave way and the noise around him suddenly disappeared. This abnormal behavior made John look up. Before he had time to search, he saw a graceful couple coming.
