Chapter 916

On the busy streets, cars come and go. At two o'clock in the afternoon, the traffic jam is not too serious, but it is still flowing. In the traffic, a dark blue two door car is so low-key that if you don't look at it carefully, you will ignore the Bentley logo in front of the car and think it's just an ordinary car.

Only the real upper class aristocrats can taste the differences in details. Every detail of this car is unique and completely customized; And according to the style and taste of the family and the owner, every inch of the interior decoration is purely handmade.

The sharp eyed man can judge the specific family ownership and even the specific owner ownership only by virtue of the streamline of the car body: This is baron George Hall's car, the most noble and expensive car of the whole hall family, inherited from George's grandfather.

On ordinary occasions, the hall family has another relatively ordinary Bentley, which is used in and out; Only in the grand special formal occasions, show the Baron's style and posture, the car will be out.

Richard Martin has been a driver of the hall family for quite a long time. He always drives smoothly and smoothly. He is familiar with the streets and alleys of London, easily controls the road conditions of every road, and never feels bumpy; But at this time, Arthur hall felt that his chest was burning, and the feeling of being up and down was really indescribable.

With his right hand playing with the retro pocket watch, he opened the cover repeatedly, closed it and opened it. The clear sound reverberated in the carriage; Hesitation entangled to the end, Arthur finally did not hold back, looking back to ALF, "can I not attend? You can handle it all by yourself. I think you are the perfect person. "

ALF hall is dressed up tonight in a pearl white evening dress. With the retro design of the 1960s and the existence of waistband and waistcoat, she outlines a slim and perfect waist. The lace pattern and manual folds subtly cover the body curve, but also outline an exquisite radian. The elegance is noble. A long soft hair is tied into a bun, and the pattern is not disordered, Elegance brings a cool temperament.

In the face of Arthur's irritability, Alf doesn't have any unnecessary fluctuations. Her mouth doesn't turn up, but she seems to smile; The calm of her eyes revealed her calmness. Even if she didn't speak, it was enough for Arthur to understand her meaning: you have no choice.

Arthur rolled a white eye, whined ruefully, and muttered, "don't look at me like that. This is between you and Langley. You two fight. Don't drag me in. I'm a caddie. Yes, caddie ALF and Langley are both perverts. He's a normal man in the middle, just like cannon fodder. Now he starts to miss Edith: isn't that guy in London? Wait, or in Glasgow?

With a sigh, Arthur finally adjusted his sitting posture and said, "well, what's our attitude? Do we know Langley or not? "

Tonight, the hall family sent ALF and Arthur to attend the premiere night of "les miserables". They will represent the attitude of the hall family and lay the foundation for the trend of upper class gossip in the future. The task is arduous.

"Arthur, you're smarter than you think." ALF's elegant and appropriate words, with an ironic effect, make Arthur turn his eyes again“ We attended the premiere night, but we don't visit Langley in private. That's our attitude. "

Hall. This surname is the best connecting line. Langley didn't avoid it, and ALF and Arthur didn't avoid it, so they are a family. Everyone who attended the premiere night tonight clearly understood it; The hall family will not be ashamed or timid, but accept the invitation of the premiere night, which is the dignity and pride of the nobility.

However, the hall family still refused to accept the existence of lanli. They just treat lanli as an actor. What other actors are treated is what lanli is treated. More importantly, ALF and Arthur were present, not George and Elizabeth, and the attitude of the hall family was clear at a glance.

Arthur widened his eyes, breathed a sigh, and said, "anyway, I'm a caddie. I'll leave it to you tonight. " He knew clearly that Lan Li was not the type of surrender. There were many swords and swords that could not be seen tonight.

During the conversation, the Almeida theater appeared in the line of sight. Through the window, you can see the long traffic on the street. There are many vehicles waiting to stop. You can see many familiar faces at random. Before you enter the theater, you can picture the flowers on the warm-up party in your mind.

Richard Martin slowly pulled the car to the side of the road. Arthur's eyes glimpsed, and his exclamation began to flow out. "Is Emma fielding crazy? She invited Alistair Smith? "

Alistair Smith, senior drama writer for stage.

"Stage" is a newspaper, founded in 1880, which is one of the oldest and most influential stage art newspapers in the world. Based in London, this weekly newspaper is distributed around the world. With rich information, true reports and accurate and in-depth analysis, it is loved by stage art lovers and practitioners in the UK and around the world.

In the UK, almost every drama work, producer and professional drama practitioner will read this drama weekly all the time; Even Broadway theater practitioners are no exception. In the general downturn of contemporary drama, this newspaper has survived tenaciously and become more and more popular. It has come to the present on the road of professionalism and authority. Its powerful influence even exceeds the status of the times in Britain and the New York Times in the United States.

At present, "stage" is the only newspaper that never solicits contributions. In order to maintain its authority and independence, they will change a group of top freelance writers every once in a while, hoping to maintain the professional, objective and profound of the writers and form a healthy competition; Only a few of them have their own columns on the stage.

That's how Alistair Smith exists. He has been in the "stage" column for nearly 20 years. Not long ago, it was reported that the newspaper intended to hand over the position of editor in chief to Alistair. Not only because of his authority, but also because of his originality and objectivity, he would watch, learn and exchange independent plays in almost every corner of the world for the first time.

After entering the 21st century, drama is a very, very small circle. Professional writers like Alistair, when a new play comes on stage, they give bad comments or criticisms, and the success rate of the play will often be reduced by half.

Their authority comes from objectivity and professionalism, and they will never compromise. Even if they are big stars, big producers and big investments, they will never be soft handed. Because the drama industry has been weakened, they are sticking to their final pride, which is also the driving force for the drama industry not to be eroded by the film industry.

People often wonder why the Tony Awards on Broadway and the Oliver awards in the west end of London are always so high, and even disdain the film actors. Those film actors are always impressed by the two awards and the drama. The above is the reason: professional enough, objective enough, and authoritative enough.

Alistair will be present at any new play in the west end. Some are premieres, some are not. More often, he will choose a surprise moment in a low-key way, watch the drama, wait for a few days, silently release the drama review, and give the crew a huge surprise - as for the gift or bomb, only when the drama review is announced will he know.

After the habit gradually formed, few people would take the initiative to invite Alistair to the premiere. Because everyone knows that he will watch and write drama reviews, and he will never leave face. Even when some people sent out an invitation, Alistair didn't buy it at all. On the contrary, he made a face of ash.

Just now, Arthur noticed Alistair. Even the nobles, they will also read aristell's drama review as a reference; Relying on his talent and ability, the industry's top drama critic has truly occupied a place in the upper class of London.

But ALF didn't make a fuss. He glanced at the rest of his sight and noticed the figure of Alistair; After waiting for Arthur to get out of the car, she stretched out her right hand and helped ALF get out of the car. She took Arthur's arm and whispered, "how do you know it wasn't Andre Hamilton who invited you?"

With Emma Fielding's face alone, it is estimated that Alistair will not buy it at all.

Arthur thought about it seriously, and he had to give his approval. However, it is not known whether Andre's action is helping or helping.

At this moment, at the gate of Almeida theatre, there are people coming and going, bustling, crowded and lively scenes, even some noisy. The spacious streets are full of people. The large crowds make it look like a popular tourist attraction like Moulin Rouge in Paris. All styles, all temperament and all postures become vulgar.

At the gate of the theater stands a large group of people who are exploring, talking and dancing; The road was full of faces. They held up the signs in their hands, "buy tickets", "please give me a ticket", "is there any extra ticket?" their eyes were full of longing and begging.

Everyone in the line of sight, at least most of them, are all dressed up, even if not three piece suit, tuxedo, evening dress, at least suit with shirt, and polished shoes, ready to watch the premiere, etiquette in place; But the crowd was too noisy to be elegant.

ALF had a decent smile on her face. "Fortunately, father and mother didn't show up."
