As a representative of the new generation of actors in today's film industry, and also an authentic British person, the discussions and heated discussions caused by Renly are unimaginable; what is even more rare is that among the wonderful performances in London's West End, Renly Li proved his absolute strength, solid basic skills and profound performance skills, and was unanimously praised by professionals..
Compared to the North American continent, Renly's popularity in the UK is definitely even greater..
In this craze, news about Renly has become a hot focus. Even the video rental and online viewing of "War in the Pacific" have become popular again. People are endlessly discussing the magical experience of this young actor. , as well as the diligence and hard work behind it; and the rumors and anecdotes of London's West End were widely circulated, and everyone couldn't wait to publish "Renly in My Eyes" and joined the discussion with enthusiasm.
“Ned Mullan, a senior reporter for "Empire" magazine, couldn't help but join in the fun. In the June 17th issue of the magazine, he wrote an article titled "Renly Hall: A man with his own halo." "A true nobleman" is like a drop of clear water falling into a boiling pot of oil..
Now in the 21st century, children of noble backgrounds have gradually lost their halo and are slowly becoming common people. Even Queen Elizabeth is no exception, let alone other nobles in the upper class.？
With the progress of the times, children of aristocrats began to enter all walks of life, doing ordinary people's jobs and living ordinary lives, just like Princess Beatrice working part-time in a department store. This situation is becoming more and more common; in Among them, there are quite a few upper-class members who have become actors..
Eddie Redmayne, Tom Hiddleston, Benedict Cumberbatch, as well as Edward Norton and Rooney Mara from the United States, they all have family backgrounds The prominent upper class has chosen the profession of actor, is active on the big screen, and has achieved impressive results..
But in fact, they are only the upper class, not the aristocracy.
For ordinary people, one is born in Eton College or Harrow College, and is an alumnus of the same school as Prince William and Prince Harry; and then enters Cambridge University or Oxford University for further study; at the same time, the family is well off, has no worries about food and clothing, and there are even people in the family. Being in a high position, this is a typical upper class, an upper class that ordinary people cannot get close to or integrate into in their lifetime..
This is a fact, an irrefutable fact; but among the real London aristocrats, the above-mentioned families can only be the new members of the social circle. They are not the nouveau riche, but they are only one step further than the nouveau riche. For For nobles, they not only need to pursue their titles, but also trace their family history..
Nowadays, Eton College and Harrow College have opened up their admission qualifications and are gradually becoming more civilian. Generally speaking, as long as the father or mother has enough social influence and of course enough wealth, the child can enter the school to study. In other words, family history is only passed down through two generations..
But in a real aristocratic genealogy, tracing back ten or fifteen generations is a simple and easy matter. This is called heritage, history, and inheritance. Only such a family can truly nobility.
Eddie Redmayne, Tom Hiddleston, and Benedict Cumberbatch all came from the upper class, but they were not truly aristocratic. Therefore, after they left school, they chose In order to become an actor, the obstacles encountered are not obvious; and the strange eyes caused by the upper class society are really limited..
For the emerging upper class, they have moved with the times and accepted everything in the new era, including divorce and actors..
In other words, the financial backgrounds of these actors are indeed amazing, but not enough to cause waves; however, Renly Hall is different, he is a true nobleman..
According to Mullan's investigation, the family surname "Hall" can be traced back to the 11th century. It received knighthood in the early 12th century. At that time, the Hall family had a close relationship with the royal family and had many fiefdoms. Although it was only a baron, five The lowest position in the title hierarchy, but it is a high baronet. It was once almost promoted to an earl; although the opportunity was missed, this baronetcy evolved into a hereditary title..
In modern history, hereditary titles have basically disappeared. Even if the royal family ennobles them, they cannot be inherited. At most, they are just lifelong nobles..
After centuries of inheritance, Baron Hall was still a prominent member of the royal family at the beginning of the 20th century. Unfortunately, the talented and dazzling Baron at the time was fighting in the First World War. Died on the battlefield, leaving behind orphans and widows, unable to survive.
Although the son, who was still a toddler at the time, inherited the title of baronet and successfully continued the bloodline, the family gradually declined. After the turmoil of World War II, it declined rapidly and became a An ordinary noble family. However, the current Baron George Hall still received education and grew up according to the inheritance and etiquette of the nobles, and used the family's connections to restore glory step by step..
In addition to George Hall, Elizabeth Hall also comes from a long-standing aristocratic family, a hereditary viscount. She is the second daughter of the family. She studied ballet and painting since she was a child. She is very popular in social situations and has entered the marriageable age. After that, there were countless letters coming to ask for marriage. In the end, the Viscount chose George, who had a bright future..
This is not a simple emerging aristocracy, nor is it a rising star who has made a fortune and entered the upper class in modern society. It is not a huge family that can be represented by Eton College or Harrow College, but an aristocratic family with a long history and rich inheritance; and the father and mother This is true for both sides, they even retained the living habits and characteristics of the nobility.
Just like Prince William and Princess Beatrice, the connections and inheritance of the aristocratic class have been completely continued. In social situations of the upper class, the surname "Hall" is the best business card, which is consistent with what people know. It's a completely different story from those "actors from high-class backgrounds" that we are familiar with..
In the article, Ned Mullan wrote, "At the press conference at the Berlin Film Festival, Renly showed his talent for language and is familiar with a variety of different languages; during his acting career, Renly showed different understandings of literature, art, and philosophy; in the process of music creation, Renly showed outstanding talents..
What's more important is the calm and restrained, elegant and calm temperament of this young man who is only 22 years old! All of this has finally been explained: all of this is the result of receiving authentic aristocratic education since childhood. Hereditary baron, this is the true face of Renly Hall's family background.”
Not only that, Ned then cited a series of evidence, including the most well-known Eton College and Cambridge University; it also included the guest event on the opening night of "Les Misérables" - which can definitely be called an aristocratic gathering. Now, everything has the answer.
“After this article in "Empire" magazine was published, it immediately detonated the Internet: What will happen after the water droplets fall into the oil pan?？
