Chapter 935

The interview in the waiting room is still going on, but Ned's attention is always not very focused, and he always pays attention to the movement outside the door; As a result, when there was a slight sound of opening and closing the door in his ear, "Gee", conditionally, Ned turned his head and explored.

The journalist's professional instinct prevailed after all.

Through the half open room door, the dim light outlines two elegant and elegant figures. Even standing in the old backstage corridor of Almeida theater, the elegant and introverted temperament is still vaguely separated from the environment, creating a vague and hazy image.

The petite lady, with a strange face, never seems to have seen her; However, the handsome and handsome gentleman next to him always has a sense of deja vu in his facial features. Obviously, he is not familiar with the common people's facial expressions, but a passing by or a meeting on a grand occasion.

As a journalist living in London, Ned has long been used to the upper class aristocrats in the west end of London.

In fact, in contemporary British society, apart from the royal family, other aristocrats have gradually integrated into their daily life. They also need to work, start a business and work; They will also go to the west end to watch plays, appear in the streets, and buy daily necessities in supermarkets.

Only in special occasions, such as Prince William's wedding, nobles will dress up to show the elegant demeanor of the upper class.

Over the past half a month, the Almeida theater version of "les miserables" has always been the focus of discussion, and it is also the banquet of the upper class. It is said that only 350 tickets for the premiere night were sold in advance because all the remaining tickets were distributed in the form of invitation letters.

This afternoon, Ned saw countless or unfamiliar or familiar faces in the VIP box, and really felt the high popularity of "les miserables" among the upper class. Although he didn't understand the specific reasons, after all, the version of the Queen's Theatre has been staged in Britain for nearly 30 years.

Are these two figures at the door upper class? At least, that's the way they are. But why did they come to visit Langley? Emma fielding is willing to introduce herself. The identity of the comer should not be small, so the contradiction comes. People with real valuable identity will not want to come backstage. Even if they want to meet the actors, the actors should go to their box.

It doesn't make sense.

Just a glance, the question mark in my mind has already begun to boil up, instantly filled. This is the case with journalists' occupational diseases.

Then, Ned noticed that his gaze fell on his shoulder, raised his head, and accidentally ran into lanli's eyes: his peeping action was thus exposed. Even though ned had been through a lot of battles, it was inevitable that he was embarrassed. He cleared his throat and tried to explain.

However, before the excuse for explanation was formed, Ned saw a shallow arc in the corner of lanli's mouth. He was warm and friendly with a smile. He didn't investigate or make fun of him. He just nodded, and then stepped back to his position, as if nothing had happened.

Ned was stunned. Lan Li's understatement doesn't seem to have any inside information to dig out, so what he just thought was just wishful thinking?

Looking back again, I tried to look at the two figures outside the door, but they had already left. Sitting in the same place, Ned couldn't describe his mood for a moment. There was always an empty sense of loss.

……

Watching Lan Li return to the back of the waiting room, Arthur stands in the same place, the taste of the tip of his tongue can not be described.

Although he didn't want to admit it, he still preferred the ordinary lanli, the guy who was full of pranks and couldn't easily offend him, the boy who stood on the stage with brilliant light and flashing soul in his eyes, the devil who made everyone itch with pride but didn't care.

Even he was one of the victims. Half a year later, those rumors have long gone; But as long as you think of the prank rumors around Christmas last year, Arthur can't help but help but smoke.

But, that kind of blue ceremony is fresh; It's not the look of the noble mask just now.

Arthur always thought that Langley lived in deep water; The fact is that lanli's life is not very comfortable. He can't enjoy the pleasure and leisure of the nobles, let alone the high quality of life of the nobles. However, lanli is happier and happier than anyone Arthur knows. The vitality in those eyes made Arthur feel a little ashamed.

With a long breath, Arthur looked up at ALF.

There was no expression on that delicate face. No anger, no chagrin, no excitement, is still a familiar look, elegant calm, unprepared; However, living together since childhood, Arthur can read ALF's emotional fluctuations, and the smallest fluctuations are no exception.

At this time, ALF is no longer calm and perfect. The slightest bit of irritability, unable to identify because of anger or excitement, or other, but really floating up.

But even this little agitation was fleeting. It seemed that just a few breaths later, Alf regained his calm. There was no calm of waves, and there was no calm of life at the same time.

Arthur's agitation in his chest could no longer be suppressed, and he sighed heavily, "what's next?"

"We have already arranged the next plan? Have dinner as planned and then come back to watch the second half ALF didn't seem to notice Arthur's irritability at all, and didn't seem to care at all.

Half time, the reason why we chose to meet lanli. It's just to make a gesture and show it to others. The content of the conversation doesn't matter. Even without saying a word, "visiting" is enough. It can be a warning from the hall family to Lan Li, a move by the hall family to cover up the ugly, or the hall family to show their noble etiquette.

Etiquette is done. That's the most important thing.

Arthur got stuck in his throat. Every time I talk with ALF, it's always like this. He lacks patience, and even his self-cultivation seems to disappear.

"ALF, you know what I mean? I mean, after that? " Arthur's voice is still calm, in public, don't let their emotions out of control, this, he can do it; However, the words are still a little hasty“ I don't want to get involved. Now it's 2012. The prejudice against actors and the obstinacy against aristocrats can all come to an end. "

"Arthur, pay attention to your words." ALF's simple sentence, but there is no refutation of the dignity, "you are the least qualified to say this sentence in the family that."

ALF is a doctor, Edith is a photographer, and Langley is an actor. They don't need to rely on the name "Hall" for any benefits; But Arthur is different, aristocratic connections is the basis of his survival.

"I know." Instead, Arthur chuckled, "don't worry, I won't say anything enthusiastically. I'll give up all the advantages of my family and create a world of my own. I'm not as stupid as lenley. " Stupid. This is the right adjective, but sometimes Arthur envies the folly of Langley, that kind of silly courage.

"I'm just saying that I don't want to get involved in the father, mother and Langley thing. This is a contradiction between them. I have no opinion about lanli, and I have no opinion about my father and mother, so they can continue to confront each other, but don't pull me as a shield. " Arthur made his stand clear. "To be honest, I don't like my father and mother, and I don't like Langley, so they can leave me a clean place."

In this way, he can watch the play like Edith. People who eat melons are the happiest.

Alf was not moved, but simply said, "you can say 'no' at any time. Including now. " With that, Alf ignored Arthur, turned around and started.

Arthur rolled a big white eye, murmured "as usual nonsense", and then also stepped forward, as if nothing had happened just now, smiling again and standing beside ALF as a flower protector. It's a long night, with a dinner, a dinner and a three hour show.

Deep down, Arthur knew, and alf knew, that Langley won, in his way.

After tonight, the name of "the youngest son of the hall family" will disappear and be replaced by "Langley hall". People can continue to discuss him, or despise or reject him, or praise or affirm or like him; But no one can deny that he has occupied a place, with his own strength and performance, indisputably has his own position.

Even George and Elizabeth understood that. No waves, no light, no gunpowder, no time to see confrontation, confrontation has ended, the aristocratic world, always like this.

……

Push open the door of the waiting room, Lan Li can feel the sight on his back, the light temperature, calm, but meaningful, he slightly straightened his waist, secretly cheering for himself.

Today is not the best time. He must devote himself to the performance. Outside the stage, his fighting capacity seems not strong enough; However, this meeting was unavoidable, so he tried his best to hold on.

George and Elizabeth are absent. Deep down, they are lost and disappointed; But in a sense, there's a little bit of luck. Depending on his current state, he is not sure whether he can stand up straight in front of George and Elizabeth, which is an unknown number.

However, they were absent. ALF and Arthur's expected results made him feel relieved; But vaguely, the loss and regret are always lingering.

Man is really a contradictory animal, isn't he?

Looking up, blue Lee noticed Ned's sight. He showed a light smile to show his friendship.
