Langley noticed Ned's gaze. He was not at all surprised or flustered.
Returning to the west end of London, in fact, he is psychologically prepared. Reporters from all walks of life dig out the meaning behind the surname "Hall". It's only a matter of time. In such a developed modern network, it can't be an eternal secret.
For Lan Li, he is fearless. The reason why he does not want to talk about it in the interview is that he is an actor and his family background has nothing to do with him. He does not want to have too much public participation in his private life. It was the same before and it will be the same in the future. He will not take the initiative to talk about it.
But for the hall family, they have to do their best to block the news, "the ugly family should not be publicized.".
So, Ned's vision is not a threat to Langley, but to the hall family.
The so-called secret of family name is never a secret in London. The only difference is whether one has a heart or not.
With a friendly smile on Ned, lenley nodded his head and went back to his seat. He has no secrets to hide, and naturally he doesn't need to be nervous and flustered. As for whether ned can dig out the news, that's not what he cares about.
Lanli admits that sending the invitation was childish.
It seems that he is angry, and it seems that he is showing off. He wants to tell them that he is standing on the stage of the west end of London with his strength; He wanted to tell them that his performance was strong enough to stand the test of the west end; He wanted to tell them that his persistence paid off in the end.
Perhaps, in the heart, the influence of George and Elizabeth's words is more profound than imagined. Even with the recognition of the Berlin Film Festival and the Oscars, and even with the rise of his career, he still yearns for recognition from George and Elizabeth - or simply from his family.
It's like Chu Jiashu. He represses his inner desire to play and controls his inner desire for freedom. He just hopes to get approval and praise from his mother. Unconsciously, everything becomes a habit and can't get rid of it.
After his rebirth, he tried to get rid of the shackles, to pursue his dreams, to embrace freedom, step by step. Now, he does not need to prove himself to anyone, because he clearly knows his goals and dreams, and the only thing he needs to be responsible for is himself.
However, truth is only truth after all, and it is not easy to implement it. So, he sent out the invitation letter, just like a teenager, showing off his strength and achievements, looking forward to their praise and support, and eagerly waiting for a recognition with a nervous and expectant mood.
"You may not be a genius, but you have become a good actor."
Even if it's just one sentence, it's enough, more than a thousand words.
Today's performance, he is more nervous than ever, not only because this is the west end, not only because this is the "miserable world", but also because this is London, and more because he will present his performance in front of his family; Today's performance, he is more involved than at any time, in order to present a more perfect performance, almost forget himself.
Outside the waiting room, when I saw ALF and Arthur, I was in a mixed mood, which was hard to say; When he turned to leave, he straightened his waist, covered up his loss and stepped forward firmly. In this game, there is no winner.
He knew, he knew, that he was too childish. However, the heart of disappointment and loss or turn up.
Hang down the line of sight and hide the emotion deep in the fundus of the eye, but the focus of the line of sight is a little fuzzy and faints slowly. The brain is not thinking. It just stays in a moment and then slowly empties; The noise in my ear is reverberating, but there is only an empty echo. I can't capture the detailed fragments. Time seems to stop at this moment.
The bright lights were flashing in his eyes, and then a blurred face became clear. With a blink, lenley saw Tom Holland in front of him.
The childish face, raised high, looked up at Lan Li from the bottom up, completely unable to hide his emotions, looked at Lan Li curiously and anxiously, and seemed to see the colorful shadow of the sun in his flashing eyes. The publicity and wanton of youth were so beautiful.
Lan Li couldn't help laughing, "what's the matter?"
Tom Holland didn't know where he got a penny, put it on his fingertip and stretched it out. "A penny, buy what you think."
The words of changing the topic were already on the tip of the tongue, but after a pause, Langley spread out his palm and motioned Tom to put the penny in his palm. "I'm thinking about what and for whom do I do my best for today's performance?"
Tom closed his mouth, made a sound of pondering, and fell into deep thinking. However, his lack of experience and immature age limited his imagination and couldn't find the answer at all. So, he naturally asked, "do you have the answer?"
"No, I didn't." Lanli shook his head gently.
If all his dreams, all his persistence and all his efforts are just for the recognition of his family, does that mean that his life in the past 22 years, and even his life in the last 32 years, has lost its meaning? In the last life, he did nothing and died on the bed; This life, his family has always refused to give recognition, and today is not even willing to attend the premiere.
Well, what a sad thing it is.
Tom pondered for another moment. "So, what did you do at the beginning?"
At the beginning. Maybe it's to experience the life of actors, perform the life of different roles, and really live; Maybe it's to set up a dream, get rid of all the shackles and shackles, and try to have your own life; Maybe it's to pursue freedom, really live according to your own ideas, and walk out of your own way.
"Just enjoying it." Lanli found the answer, the answer hidden in his heart.
Not for any lofty ideal, just to really enjoy life, live down to earth, have freedom, have dreams, have goals, have their own soul, and then write their own colorful. There are countless people who have dreams, but not everyone has the courage to pursue them; And he did.
For himself. That's the answer.
Tom gave a big smile and a playful wink. "Well, it should be the same today. I think you can really enjoy the performance in the afternoon. You know what? You are two different people on and off the stage. I like you on the stage. "
The smile on the corner of the mouth rises gently. The reason why it is rare is that it belongs to children, youth and simplicity; When people begin to grow up, when life begins to be complicated, the bright red heart of a child will gradually lose its original brilliance.
Now Tom wakes up the heart again.
"You mean, I hate me off stage?" The ending of Langley rose slightly.
"No, no, no, that's not what I mean." Tom was so flustered that he waved his hand and tried his best to deny it. But he was so anxious that he could not explain it again. He was just in a daze. He was angry with himself and his face turned red.
Other people who are interviewing have cast their eyes, "what's the matter?" Asked Michelle duckery gently.
Lan Li chuckled and waved, "it's OK. It's just a joke. " Lenley patted Tom on the shoulder and said with a smile, "don't worry, I know what you mean."
Then, he turned to ned and said, "it's almost time for the interview. If there are any questions, we'll interview again on the rest day of this week. We have to start having dinner now, otherwise we will not have enough time to prepare for the second half
Ned nodded briskly. "No problem!" He stood up and shook hands with each actor. At last, it was lanli's turn. "Er, lanli, on the rest day, in addition to the interview with the crew, I'd like to make an appointment for an interview with you. Can we talk about the upcoming" tomorrow's edge "of the summer program?"
"Yes, why not?" Lanli readily agreed, which made ned stunned. In the past two months, it's very difficult to interview lanli. It's obvious to all people in the industry, "you call Andy. No, Andy should be in New York now. You call Roy and make an appointment for the interview."
"No problem! Absolutely no problem! " Ned made an "OK" gesture and replied.
Langley politely made a gesture of invitation. "I'll escort you to the door."
Ned laughed brightly. "No, it's just the door. I'm not little Red Riding Hood lost." The two men came to the door of the waiting room and said something polite again. Then ned turned and left.
Looking at the gentleman's polite Lan Li, I don't know why, the two figures just appeared in Ned's mind again.
Back in the waiting room, lanli saw Tom with a nervous, nervous look on his face. He followed lanli step by step and wanted to say nothing; This made Lan Li smile and stop, "what's the matter?"
"Langley, I just want to say, I don't hate you, I really don't." Tom's explanation had no content at all. It was the same sentence over and over again. Sure enough, he is still a child.
Langley bent down slightly, keeping his eyes parallel to Tom, and said solemnly, "I know."
Under the blue Li's gaze, Tom slightly Leng Leng, then slowly, slowly nodded, eyes involuntarily began to drift to the side, a little nervous. Then Tom heard Langley say again, "dinner's ready. Now there are two hours left, and the preparations have to start. "
In order to ensure the quality of performance, actors should not eat too much; And after the meal, you need to rest and adjust the time to let the brain and muscles recover. So, the second half of the show is about to start, they have to get into the regular preparation.
Tom's spirit suddenly lifted up and nodded, "no problem!"
