Today's second update, please recommend, please subscribe!

In recent years, Evan Bell has been thriving in music and film careers, and has achieved one amazing achievement after another, and no one will forget his talent in psychology and architectural design. Although not widely known, Evan Bell still published two professional papers in psychology professional journals within a year and a half after graduation, and even published a book, which was well received by the industry; Stopping at the Burj Khalifa and the Press Plaza of the Massachusetts Court, no new works have appeared, but the world's attention attracted by the Burj Khalifa and the Freedom Tower is definitely not to be underestimated.

People can't help but sigh, Evan Bell is the contemporary Barbra Streisand, which makes it hard for people to have other emotions other than sighs.

Although Evan-Bell's reputation in various aspects has accumulated to a high level in the past few years, with the receipt of the two best directors at the Berlin Film Festival and the Oscar, Evan-Bell has completed many director's lifetimes. The height has to be admired, and what is even more exaggerated is that the performance of director Evan Bell's works at the box office never disappoints.

Under such circumstances, it is not surprising that Evan Bell, who has always been shining in the sight of the British royal family, has become a new batch of candidates for the award. On the contrary, there are some logical postures.

Hearing Teddy Bell's explanation, Evan Bell laughed, "Fortunately you didn't say that because our bloodline is from the British royal family, otherwise I would have dislocated my jaw." This is a joke. Let Teddy Bell give his brother a speechless look. Regarding William Bell and One Savile Row, Teddy Bell is always a little more serious and doesn't like to joke very much. Under this kind of stare, Evan Bell could only raise his hands and surrender.

"What do you think?" Teddy Bell brought the topic back.

Evan Bell curled his lips, "Forget it, I'm not meant to be an aristocrat." Evan Bell even refused, "Let's talk about it. I'm still thinking about digging up the scandals of the British media, even if I accept it. Now, the royal family may have given me the medal not long before taking it back.” This refers to the wiretapping scandal that the News of the World seems to have begun to brew.

Eden-Hudson was a little more interested, "Why refuse?"

In fact, although many people refused the award, for most of them, accepting the medal is beneficial and harmless, so why not do it.

Teddy Bell also looked over. Although he respected his brother's decision, he was obviously also curious. Evan-Bell shrugged, "I just don't think it's necessary. After taking a medal, is there any difference?" Evan-Bell stopped and seemed to organize his own language. "I feel like it's a kind of restraint. I make music and make movies, just for my dreams, just to make good works, but what if one day, I want to make a film that satirizes the British government? Then when How? In other words, I quarreled with the British media tomorrow, and it is estimated that those people will continue to encourage the royal family to take back the medal. I don't care, but watching the royal family hesitate there, I thought. Why bother? "

Evan Bell's words made both Teddy Bell and Eden Hudson smile and nodded.

In fact, the medal is indeed a burden from a certain point of view, especially for people like Evan Bell who are always easy to derail, the Royal Medal is like a framework, telling him that he should do this and should not do that, Although this frame is invisible, and no one can say exactly where the bottom line of the royal family is. But it really is not suitable for Evan Bell.

In history, those who refused royal honors were full of rebellious personalities. There are people who are dismissive of royal medals. There are also people who scoff at the royal family because of their political stance, but that's not all. There are many more people. They rejected the British royal family's awards, but not because of their own personality. For example, artists such as Freud, Bacon, Green, and Lowry are not radicals, at least they do not have radical tendencies in political positions, and they have never been representatives of rebellious personalities, but they have chosen to reject the United Kingdom at the same time. Royal family awards, there is bound to be something in common.

There is a little story that may show some clues that the British government seriously considered stripping the former Royal Bank of Scotland boss Sir Fred Goodwin of his knighthood in 2012. This may explain why artists scoff at royal titles rather than purely personal or political issues.

In fact, the public honor of Britain is not only inseparable from the glorious history of the royal family, power and empire, but also closely connected with the business elite, the political elite, the judicial elite and the local elite. While society has progressed, the country has begun to learn the importance of self-criticism, so people have begun to look to titles such as Sir Fred Goodwin, without exception, the British Medal of Honour is widely believed to be somewhat vague in uniting the upper echelons. defect.

Why would a serious artist be the recipient of such a medal? Why did the artist Freud stand with bankers and police chiefs to discuss where the interests belong?

France has a long-standing and world-renowned Legion of Honor, awarded to people who have made outstanding contributions to culture, such as writers and filmmakers. In stark contrast, the British medals represent a club of elites presided over by the royal family, there is no special halo to award innovative talents, and the British medals are not really targeted at all.

It is obviously difficult to have a common language to put artistic and cultural talents and medals in other fields on a platform, and then jointly contribute to the maintenance of the honor of the British royal family. This is one of the important reasons why Evan Bell thinks there will be constraints.

In Britain from the 1950s to the 1980s, the vulgar philistine had clearly become a part of life in the British upper middle class, and there was a joke that a certain banker - non-British nationality - was in royal funds He was awarded the Commander's Medal after sponsoring a large sum of money at a time when he was stretched thin. Of course, this is not an irony that the banker paid a bribe or something, but it implies that the medal is no longer a representation of honor, but more of an equivalent exchange of monetary benefits. To put it uglier, it is to use money to buy a stepping stone to the upper class.

Therefore, such a medal is not attractive to an artist. Maybe they'd like to join France's special Legion of Honour - there are really pure artists, but they're not interested in the mayor and the newspaper owner doing the same.

In a deep sense, these artists are not necessarily people with different political opinions. What they reject is not the Queen, but the British philistine life style itself. If the British medal system does not change, the number of people who refuse it will only increase, and those who are truly worthy to win the medal will stay out of it.

Of course, Evan Bell does not reject money or interests at all. He is actually a businessman himself, and the still surging American singing talent show market is Evan Bell and Teddy Bell, Eden- The result that Hudson planned together.

But Evan Bell is really not interested in the medals awarded by the British royal family. What is the need to accept the honor that everyone can buy with money? And after accepting it, he will be subject to a lot of restraints, which is a fact that Evan Bell absolutely does not want to see.

In fact, it is also very difficult for the British royal family to do it. Countless people have learned about Evan Bell's thorny and rebellious personality. Evan Bell's rejection is also predictable, but they sincerely hope that Evan Bell Being able to receive a medal is good for the UK's reputation as a whole in international entertainment culture. So there is a bit of a dilemma. But now Evan-Bell has decisively refused, which has also relieved the British royal family. Who knows if Evan-Bell will be surprised when he meets with Elizabeth II.

Eden Hudson ticked the corner of his mouth calmly to the right, "I think you should accept it. After I got the medal, I told the media, I bought it with 20 million pounds."

Evan Bell immediately clapped and laughed, "Good idea, good idea. If you say I do this, will the UK simply throw me in jail?"

Eden Hudson is very calm You can take refuge in the United States. Like Roman Polanski's procrastination for a few years, it will be fine. "

Teddy Bell sat by the side and looked at the two live treasures, and suddenly said, "Twenty million pounds? It's better for me to buy a car than a medal, at least if I buy a car, I can drive it a bit, and the medal will get me. What are you doing here? Beer starter?"

After this was said, Evan Bell and Eden Hudson looked at each other, and then saw the two men say to each other, "It's all your fault." Obviously they are accusing each other of putting Teddy Bell The belt was broken, and Teddy Bell's simple and honest image completely turned into a super big belly at this time.

Teddy Bell was overjoyed to be alone beside him, thinking that what he had just thought was really great. Even when the phone rang, Teddy Bell took it out of his trouser pocket with a smile on his face, looked at the caller ID, stood up, walked to the edge of the balcony, and answered the phone, "Hey, Jerry." There was still a smile in the words.

The caller was Jerry Bruckheimer.

After hanging up the phone, Teddy Bell thought about Evan Bell and Eden Hudson, who were still bickering, "Jerry Bruckheimer made an appointment to see you, and Robert Eagle."

Evan Bell raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Could it be that Disney is going to change?" Robert Eagle actually took the initiative to come to the door. It seems that the situation has indeed changed.
