In the past two months, the upper class in London has had another talk that people like to talk about.
First, it is said that Arthur hall, the eldest son of the hall family, is fighting with another man in the dressing room of the tennis club for a woman. Jili hazel is against John Hamilton, the second son of the Hamilton family. The point is that this woman is dating Andre Hamilton, the youngest son of the Hamilton family.
This kind of dog blood gossip, like a stimulant, instantly makes people spirit up. Comparatively speaking, the hearsay that the youngest son of the hall family returned to China as an actor immediately became weak and popular, and soon became a thing of the past.
Soon after, the rumor was updated: not for a woman, but for a man. Andre Hamilton and Jili Hazel's date has been updated. It's said that Andre has a new love and abandons Jili, but Jili is unwilling to give up, so she takes the initiative to hook up with John, but John is not interested. So, this leads to the confrontation between John and Arthur, because they both like the same man——
The identity of this mysterious man is unknown for the time being. There are countless speculations among the upper class, but no one can find out the truth.
The scandal peaked at Christmas.
That night, the hall family held a Christmas party, which was the first external activity of the hall family since the release of "speed and passion 5". Along with Lan Li gradually away from the sight of the upper class, quietly filming in the countryside, even did not participate in hunting; George and Elizabeth seem to be finally ready to rejoin the social scene.
They invited 300 guests. The theme of the party was the pastoral life of the aristocrats in the 18th century. Not only the costumes, furniture, tableware, decoration and so on all followed the retro style, but also the process of the banquet, the holding of the ball, and the preparation of meals all strictly followed the style of that year. The party was well received by all the guests. Mr. and Mrs. hall return to the upper class social circle in London with a very high profile.
However, the focus of that night quietly shifted. Arthur brought a close friend, a man, to the party.
In fact, in aristocratic social occasions, this is very common and normal, especially in 18th century theme parties. In the past, private meeting of the opposite sex needed to be strictly controlled, and the ball often became the best occasion for young boys and girls to fall in love.
However, in view of the rumors in the past, this seems to be a bit unusual. At the party, Matthew Dunlop, Eaton domer and Andre Hamilton originally gathered together, but after Arthur and his good friend appeared, Andre left the two companions, and there was no communication between them until the end of the party; Correspondingly, Matthew and Eaton seem to have a good conversation with Arthur and his good friend.
After the Christmas party, the rumors were very loud: the rumors about Arthur's sexual orientation became more and more intense.
The most amazing thing about the whole incident is that Arthur, who is famous for his well-informed knowledge in London, did not respond positively from beginning to end, as if he was completely kept in the dark and didn't know what was going on; Moreover, as another source of news, John Hamilton, news around him, just a few days, then it seems that there is nothing wrong with him, and then there is no news update.
When Arthur reacts, it's irreparable. George and Elizabeth are so furious that they don't listen to Arthur's explanation at all. However, Arthur can only escape from Sicily and hide in the middle of the Mediterranean, enjoying the bright sunshine in winter. Because Arthur knew that it was a trap, a carefully arranged trap.
The trap from Langley!
Not only John and Andre, not only Matthew and Eaton, not only his close friends, Arthur strongly suspected that even Edith was on Langley's side! Otherwise, with his news network, how could he not have heard the news at all and bring his gossip friends to the Christmas party?
In this regard, Arthur said that he wanted to cry without tears. He just stood on the balcony to watch a good play. How did he finally turn into a man?
At the same time, Edith is sitting on the CMB going to Kandahar. The whole CMB is constantly bumping up and down. The window is filled with sand and dust, and the sun is in the sky. She just feels that her whole body is about to fall apart.
As a matter of fact, she is not only an official photographer of the United Nations, but she is also carrying out the tasks assigned by the United Nations. Only when her term of office is over, can she find time to do what she wants to do. However, she still does not leave the United Nations. Occasionally, when there is a shortage of people, she is still duty bound to take over the task again. Like today.
The mobile phone in her pocket vibrated, took it out and looked at it. The caller ID was Arthur. Edith shrugged and turned it off. Then she put it back in her pocket and whispered, "sorry, you can only rely on yourself this time. Good luck She absolutely does not admit that in this incident, in fact, she also enjoyed it, not entirely for the photo in lanli's mobile phone.
Quickly picked up the camera, aimed at the window of the coat, ragged, bony children, pressed the shutter, recorded that pair of eyes at a loss. Edith is on the job.
Looking at the hands of a long time unanswered mobile phone, Arthur exhaled a long breath, can not help but feel the pain in his temples. Edith, it's so ungrateful to let him face the devil lanli alone!
Calculate the time. It should be 8:00 a.m. Berlin morning time. Langley should receive his gift. Arthur dragged his chin, seriously thinking, should he write another e-mail, to blue out olive branch?
By the way, the full name of Arthur hall is Arthur George hall, the middle name is George from his father, and the abbreviation is "AGH". Calla, that's the hall's internal code.
"Lan Li, is this a gift?" After breakfast and finishing modeling, Nathan saw the card next to the bouquet just as he was about to leave. He thought it was the breakfast service of the hotel, but obviously it wasn't“ Do you know who sent it? "
Langley shrugged, put on his skate shoes, and said half jokingly, "maybe it's a strange anonymous admirer." Then he went straight to the door and said, "come on, there's not much time left for the press conference."
So Nathan followed him flurriedly, came to Roy and asked in a low voice, "do you know who sent it?" Out of politeness, Nathan didn't read the card, but he didn't restrain his curiosity and threw gossip at Roy.
Roy's face was blank, too, and he said, "who knows, maybe it's Tony Kaye?" Originally, it was just a joke, which means that he didn't know; But Nathan took it seriously and even discussed the possibility with Roy, which really made Roy laugh and cry.
To leave the room, you only need to take the elevator to get to the press conference directly - the press conference of Berlin Film Festival is also held in Grand Hyatt Hotel, which is very convenient.
Ding's life, the elevator door opened, the crowd scattered in front of the spacious space, heard the sound, everyone turned around, realized that standing in the elevator is their goal, the flash light click down, the ear edge of the noise suddenly became noisy.
Langley's steps stopped for a moment. Nathan and Roy went out first and made the way ahead. Then Langley followed. However, the reporters did not come up with a siege. Instead, they followed in parallel with Lan Li's steps. The sound of the shutter always kept a dense high frequency.
Mingled with the crowd, there were more than a dozen ordinary audiences. Three or four of them ran boldly to the front and said, "Lan Li, I heard that you went to the cinema last night to watch the film. Will you go today?"
With a film festival style question, the corner of lanli's mouth rose. "I hope I have time today."
The voice didn't fall, and then two people rushed up. Nathan took the initiative to meet him and stopped him with the posture of a human wall. However, lanli patted Nathan on the shoulder and said with a smile, "it's OK."
Sure enough, in the next step, they handed over a thick stack of books, which should look like books or handbooks, and then there was a volume of posters, "I heard yesterday that you didn't see the" detached "poster now. We specially prepared one. On the back of the poster, there are signatures from a group of our supporters. I hope this film will not disappoint us. "
This time, Langley was really flattered. Yesterday's casual words have become an important thing for fans to remember.
Lan Li could not help but stop, and the whole "team" stopped, and asked with a smile, "are you Berlin fans?"
"Yes. Mainly Berlin fans, then all over the world, London, New York, Melbourne. Unfortunately, they have no way to come to the Berlin Film Festival, so we bring their greetings and support. " The strong man standing on the left looks like an ordinary blue collar, wearing a plain plaid shirt and brown jacket, with bald hair. He doesn't look like a fan at all, but his eyes are sincere.
Blue Li looked down at the gift in his hand, "please do thank you for me!" Involuntarily, Lan Li was a bit poor at words. If he can, he hopes to communicate with these fans face to face and sincerely express his gratitude. But, many times, words are really pale. Then, Lan Li showed a smile and said again, "thank you!"
Once again, the fans did not continue to follow, but stopped and stood behind, shouting, "come on, young master! We are looking forward to criticizing your work and your performance! "
Lan Li couldn't help laughing. This is a group of lovely fans.
