Why in the past six months, George and Elizabeth have become the hottest new rich in London's high society？
Why Arthur and Edith both began to break free and try to carve out their own paths？

Why Richard's private parties were repeatedly forced to grow in size so that they now numbered over five hundred guests？
Why did the Olivier Awards receive a round of applause after it was announced, and even the West End Association was willing to open its arms?？
……
Renly-Hall.
This is the answer! It’s incredible, but it’s true, and that’s the answer to all your questions.
The premise of the discussion is that we are now in the 21st century. After the incident of Princess Diana, the self-positioning of the aristocracy and the class relations of society are all changing; in addition, after the impact of the Internet age and the popularity of fast food culture, , the economic model, lifestyle and social composition have undergone earth-shaking changes, and the wheel of the times has inevitably rolled forward..
It was against this background that things happened like this.
To borrow a joke from Graham Norton: Renly Hall will one day join the ranks of Daniel Day-Lewis and die alone in the magpie's nest..
This is undoubtedly the best recognition of Renly's professionalism..
The Oscars, Emmys and Grammys in North America, the Berlin Best Actor in Europe, the British Academy Awards and the Olivier Awards in the British Isles, these trophies are just embellishments, truly making people aware of Renly's dedication. and outstanding, it was the performance of "Les Misérables" that won the house, as well as respect and awe..
In any era, in any class, in any society, top people from all walks of life are highly respected, and artists are no exception. No words are needed, speak with works; no need to argue, compete with strength; no need To refute, prove with facts that artists like stars in the long history can always occupy a place.
The same is true for Renly now.
The reason why aristocrats despise the profession of actors is because actors associate with traffickers and lackeys and lose their dignity; it is because actors become like the common people and condescend to lose their halo and show their faces..
But if the actor can prove himself with his strength, or even go further, use his strength to interpret art, and break away from the ordinary ranks and truly win a place, then the nobles will also take off their hats to show respect..
The direct reason why tonight's private party is so big is because of the Olivier Award.
An Olivier Award is not only a reward for Renly's work, but also recognition and acceptance of Renly in London's West End. More importantly, it is an appreciation from the professional level, even more than the commercial Oscar. In London aroused a wave of excitement among the upper class society..
It is no exaggeration to say that Renly is now the most popular person among the nobles..
The background of hereditary nobles ensures that they are on an equal footing, without having to worry about vulgar etiquette and vulgar money; their outstanding professional skills ensure their admiration, and they can express their respect as openly as the art of communication..
Just like Laurence Olivier, even the /female/king/ is not stingy in showing her respect..
So when Renly showed up, the whole party went wild. No one was exempt..
“Congratulations on winning the Olivier Award.”
“Are you sure you don't want to perform on stage during the anniversary show? Oh, what a shame.”
“The last time I checked with John Codd, he was planning a new project. Are you interested?？”
“I heard that you are planning to set up a foundation in London to support independent actors to study in colleges. Is this true?？”
“It is my honor to meet the famous Lord Renly..”
“God, you are younger than I thought. Please forgive my rudeness, after watching "Les Misérables", I always thought you should be sixty years old..”
“I read an article not long ago that Judi Dench really wanted to work with you in the West End, and I couldn't agree more..”
“Welcome. No wonder I said, tonight's night is particularly beautiful, and now I finally find the reason.”
“Sorry, please forgive me for being reckless, but I must say that I personally really, really liked your performance in 'Transcendence', even more than 'Les Misérables'.”
“I finally understand why women are always crazy about you. To be honest, even I am a little moved now.”
An endless stream of sounds continued to ring in his ears. In the short distance of less than thirty meters, Renly's footsteps had stopped more than forty times. He walked four times from the hall to the garden. Fifteen minutes are still not over, it seems that all the people at the banquet have already swarmed in.
Such a scene reminds people of the scene where the queen bee arrives..
……
Richard, who was always by his side, carefully observed Renly's expression and demeanor. Even in the face of such a crazy and hot wave, Renly still showed no impatience or irritability. He was elegant, calm, personable, and calm. The etiquette was throughout, and the humor in the conversation left a deep impression. Just this magnanimity is enough to make people raise eyebrows..
It is conceivable that after today's banquet, Renly's reputation among the nobles will surely rise to a higher level..
Just like the plot in "Titanic", after the nouveau riche enter the parties of the upper class, their every move will become the object of people's complaints and contempt after dinner. The pressure is overwhelming and invisible. , isolating the nouveau riche bit by bit, the ice stings the buttocks.
But on the other hand, he can still deliver perfect answers under the spotlight. This rising star is bound to become the most popular upstart among the upper class. If it was two centuries ago, then Renly would have already Became the top seed contestant for the best son-in-law of countless nobles.
The footsteps finally arrived in the garden. Richard noticed that Renly turned his head and exchanged glances with Matthew Dunlop who was walking side by side. In an instant, a hint of ridicule and banter leaked out of the light and shadow. Only at this moment , in order to capture a trace of the rebelliousness hidden in the depths, and outline the image of the rebellious young man who ran away from home and pursued his dreams..
“Please forgive their fanaticism. If I remember correctly, this should be your first formal party ever, right? "Richard took the initiative to cut into the topic and said with a smile, "I mean, after becoming an actor.”
Renly chuckled and teased Qi Ali with a twinkle in his eye, "This reminds me of the first time a girl attends a social party as an adult. What I'm curious about now is whether today's performance is enough to satisfy everyone.？”
“I'm very satisfied. I can guarantee that." Richard held up the champagne in his hand and said, "I really can't think of a more perfect debut. To be honest, I was a little worried that you would not be suitable for such an occasion. After all, the social life of Hollywood is There is no comparison at all, but now it seems that I worried too much.”
“Fortunately, I invited Matthew to attend, and he really blocked a lot of hidden arrows." Renly said with a smile..
But Matthew, who was standing next to him, complained without any dignity at all, "Please don't believe his mask. In fact, Arthur has never had the upper hand in the confrontation with Renly; in addition, Andre is also Renly." When we are together, the focus is always on Renly, without exception..”
“The Hamilton family? "Richard recalled for a while and asked a question. After receiving Matthew's affirmative answer, he also showed a meaningful smile, "It seems that we still know too little about you..”
“This is why I left London. To keep some sense of mystery until it is thoroughly decomposed." Renly still looked unhurried, not at all disturbed by Matthew's complaints..
At this moment, Matthew cast a glance. Renly instantly caught the deep meaning in his gaze and looked in the direction of Matthew's eyes. Then the two people exchanged glances, both of them showing a clear understanding. Look: The battle is about to begin！
Then, Matthew saw a touch of indifference and confidence deep in Renly's eyes, and he couldn't help but laugh. Originally, he was still worried about Renly's mentality and emotions, but in fact, Renly had already looked away. He doesn't care at all about this upcoming battle.
For the Halls, this is a battle that cannot be lost; but for Renly, this is a battle that has ended. From the starting point, different fates and endings have been determined..
Appearing not far away were the Halls, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, and——
“"Hey, Lord Renly." Beatrice took two steps forward slightly excitedly, looking at Renly with expectant eyes. She couldn't look away from her twinkling eyes, but then she realized She lost her composure and stopped in her tracks reservedly. However, she still made a formal greeting gracefully..
“Princess." Renly responded with perfect etiquette, "Good evening. The ladies will obviously be overshadowed tonight, but for the earl, this should be a good thing..”
Calmly, Renly gave a compliment, which made Beatrice's cheeks blush. She glanced at Renly timidly, then showed a big smile and said, "Thank you." Sweetness bloomed on the tip of the tongue, "However, I am not the protagonist tonight. I hope I don't take away the grace of others.".”
While speaking, Beatrice's eyes still fell on Renly..
Renly smiled and nodded again, raising the corners of his mouth lightly, "I hope you are talking about the Duke of Cambridge, otherwise it would be too rude..”
With a joke, the topic naturally shifted to William and Kate behind him. At the same time, everyone chuckled..
William also took over the topic and said with a smile, "I can forgive Beatrice for being rude, because I have long been used to it..”
