Chapter 685

Standing on the left side of the middle-aged man, dignified, tall and straight, navy blue dark Plaid suit, let the gray of the temples stained with the precipitation and charm of years, bright eyes will light up the whole face; The middle-aged woman on the right side is elegant and has outstanding temperament. A long red lace evening dress is designed in the style of ancient Greek goddess of sacrifice, with low-key dignity and magnificence. The high bun shows her delicate face. The trace of time has become another kind of beauty.

George hall and Elizabeth hall.

The two people appeared together with calm, calm and elegant steps. From time to time, they nodded politely to the surrounding crowd, which made the projected eyes embarrassed to stay. They could only politely avoid them, and then use the spare light of their eyes to observe the next move. Chat is still going on, everyone is whitewashing peace, but has been absent-minded.

The footstep stopped beside lanli and John. The shadow covered John's sight, interrupted John's words, and raised her head conditionally. Elizabeth gave John a lady smile, "how's everything recently? Mr. corder. I also watched you directing 'Nicholas Nickleby' last week, and the performance was really wonderful. "

"Nicholas Nickleby", adapted from the original novel of Charles Dickens, is also a popular beech by the British people.

"My pleasure." John politely expressed his thanks, "but to be honest, I still think Langley is the most suitable person. At his age, I can't find a better choice. " In the original novel, Nicholas is a young man in his early twenties.

He never heard of it, but instead of looking at George and Elizabeth, he turned to John and said, "when did this version start rehearsing?"

"Around March last year." John didn't notice the undercurrent between the three halls and said bluntly, "I've been waiting for your response until the last minute. So, don't tell me anything. You still want to go back to the stage. Last year, you rejected Nicholas Nickleby. Just now, you said that you have been busy recently. Let me tell you, lanli, if you go on like this, your basic skills will really be wasted. "

Last April, before the "Pacific War" was officially launched. At that time, Lan Li was still idle at home and had not yet met the opportunity to "bury alive". In other words, if Langley knew that John was rehearsing "Nicholas Nickleby", he would definitely return to the west end audition.

But why did Langley know nothing?

Langley's eyes fell on George and Elizabeth with profound meaning, but they were very calm and calm, without any fluctuation. "I think so, too. So Dame Dench comes back every two years to perform in the west end. I should carry on this fine tradition. " On the other hand, Langley is responding to John's worries.

George turned his head and looked at Elizabeth with the same look. "It's winter now. Everyone is becoming lazy. They are hiding at home. Even the theater is not willing to visit. Only tourists from all over the world are left. The so-called classic plays have gradually become tourist attractions. There is no art or creation. It's time to eliminate them. What do you think, Mr. cod? "

This is an issue that the whole art world is discussing, and it's the same for the upper class. They don't want to go into the theater and see a large audience of tourists who don't know anything. What they are worried about is not that the audience will express their views on the drama, but that they will not see it at all, and they will not even abide by the basic etiquette of the drama.

John gently closed his chin and was about to answer. Unexpectedly, Lan Li took the lead. "Ha ha, modern society is always too impetuous to give up those traditional arts, and then stick to those stupid situations and rituals. On the one hand, he refuses to accept the trend and on the other hand, he refuses to explore the connotation of tradition. That's how art is dying out. "

Art on the surface, rules on the ground. Behind the simple words, there is a sharp edge.

Eaton was sandwiched in the middle, and he just felt as if he was in the back. He still didn't like such occasions. The sight fell on George for a while, and then on Lan Li, completely at a loss, just like a lost lamb.

"Like a library?" Elizabeth quietly took over the conversation. She just mentioned "Nicholas Nickleby" just to open up the social situation. For a moment, she forgot that John had called to invite Langley to play. But it's not enough to fluster her“ Today's young people are used to reading with computers. The role of libraries is declining. Even the status of paper books is dying. Who knows how to develop in the future? The so-called art should keep its original appearance. If it becomes a commercial chip, it's better to seal it up and keep it in the museum like a painting. "

"Then let all the younger generation resist entering the museum. When the older generation leaves, art will follow them forever." Blue Li's answer is not slow, but the line of sight is equal to look at George and Elizabeth. Elizabeth was still patient and stable; But deep in George's eyes, he could see the flames rising. "I mean, the library will not die out. Even if everyone uses mobile phones to read in the future, the artistic status of the library still exists. The same is true of museums. We should recognize the significance of museums, but we should also recognize the new characteristics of art given by the Internet age. "

The reason why film is called the seventh art is that it combines painting, drama, literature, music and other art forms, and then creates its own field. Whether works of art or commercial works, they are in the final analysis a form of artistic creation. Just like literature and drama, movies should be accepted by "conservative forces".

A brief summary of the dialogue is as follows:

Film actors are shameful. Film actors are glorious.

George's eyes were fixed on Lan Li, but under the calm surface there was a storm. "What about hunting? Should hunting be eliminated by the times? Or is it still advancing with the times? "

"If it's for survival, then hunting is part of the natural cycle; But if it's for showing off and socializing, hunting, like clothes, jewelry and crowns, is just the capital for people to show off. In my opinion, hunting is no different from movies. " Langley showed a strong momentum of rather than bending. Under the attack of George and Elizabeth, he still did not fall behind.

Elizabeth can feel George's arm muscles begin to tense up, but she has no energy to comfort George, because her own chest also accumulated a fire, burning.

Lanli was intentional. They knew that, and lanli himself knew that it was all carefully arranged.

They explained the time in advance in order to let both sides miss each other and maintain their face; But lanli chose the same period of time and appeared directly. What's abominable is that just a few minutes after Elizabeth's arrival, Langley's steps arrived, which put George and Elizabeth in an awkward position - they couldn't find an excuse to leave immediately, otherwise their escape intention would be too obvious.

What's worse is that Langley didn't take the initiative to find George and Elizabeth, but also took the time to socialize. He didn't shy away from the strong exposure brought by "speed and passion 5", which is a shame. The hall family's "clown" seems to have been exposed on the table.

The honor carried by the surname "Hall" can be ignored by Langley, but not by George and not by Elizabeth. So, in this fight, they are doomed to be the underdog, so they compromise and take the initiative to find Lan Li.

It's not the embarrassment in expectation, nor the dejected in expectation, or even the shrinking in expectation. The confident and publicity of Langley completely ignites the frustration and anger in the hearts of George and Elizabeth. Every inch of Langley's victory in social occasions is also every inch of the hall family's retreat in social occasions.

"Well, you'd better not attend the winter hunting to avoid being out of place at the scene." Elizabeth's face was smiling and amiable, but there was a chill in her words.

Lan Li nodded politely and responded with a smile. Although did not speak, but the attitude is the best answer: winter hunting, I disdain to attend.

However, George and Elizabeth don't care about the attitude of Langley. They want the result. They feel a little relaxed, but before they can completely recover, Langley said with a smile, "by the way, I will work in Hampshire. You are welcome to visit and share the latest hunting news."

George's face darkened, not obvious in the night, but Langley knew that George's mood had reached the critical point. Usually in the face of things, George's temper tolerance is certainly not so bad, but in the face of blue, this is another matter.

Elizabeth squeezed George's arm to calm her down. Then she stepped forward and said with a smile, "then your father and I will leave first. We need to go to the Hamiltons' private party." Elizabeth pretended to give him a hug, affectionately like a loving mother, but whispered in his ear, "you should behave more appropriately."

Lan Li couldn't help smiling, "you should know more about your children."

Elizabeth means that Langley should avoid the time when they appear; What Lan Li means is that he is a person who deliberately acts against others. Instead of being allowed to attend, he will attend on purpose. If George and Elizabeth do not give notice in advance, Langley will not deliberately choose the time, may meet, may not meet, this is a 50% chance; But if they give notice in advance, it's like setting up a target. Lanli won't miss easily.

A confrontation, two people let go of each other, and then George and Elizabeth so turned away.
