2251 A different kind of charm
There were only twenty guests at the private Christmas dinner in the Prince's Garden. This was Renly Hall's first formal dinner after returning to London, but only his closest and most personal friends could attend. Although in the name of Christmas, he was with his family. Reunion is the best choice; but who doesn’t want to receive an invitation from Renly?？
Unexpectedly but reasonably, director Christopher Nolan and his family appeared in the Prince's Garden, and Almeida Theater manager Emma Fitting also became Renly's guests together with her husband. There were also several "strange" photos. "The faces appear - the paparazzi may not be able to call out their names, but after investigation and inquiry, it is not difficult to find out the truth. These are people from hereditary nobles in London. Maybe they are not noble, but they have a good relationship with Renly..
Because Renly has been in Hollywood for so long, people have forgotten that Renly's "hereditary noble" is not only a name, but also a real connection. In addition to the popular Andre Hamilton and the rising reputation of Besides Eton-Domo, there are many more friends scattered in all walks of life - the common point is that they all grew up receiving elite education, and they share more common languages..
From the charity auction to the Christmas dinner, Renly's return to London was being laid out in an orderly and step-by-step manner. Only then did people truly realize that the "youngest son of the Hall family" was not incapable of returning to London, nor was he incapable of establishing himself. London has always been a personal choice; when he really made up his mind, even Arthur Hall, a tree with deep roots, seemed to become eclipsed..
The focus of the Hall family has truly changed..
This is a formal aristocratic private dinner. All specifications and etiquette are carried out in accordance with tradition. The most eye-catching feature of the dinner is undoubtedly the appearance of Rooney Mara..
This leader of the new generation of actors appeared at the dinner as Renly's companion and easily attracted all the attention..
It is conceivable that if the public learns of such news, it will be very exciting and sensational. It will definitely be called the biggest news of the year in 2014. However, the guests present are all people who cherish feathers, let alone dealing with reporters. There is even a lack of interest in spreading gossip within the circle, which means that for a short time, this will still be a low-key secret - but on the other hand, Renly and Rooney's generosity also proves that they are aware of the presence. With the trust of the guests, the bond becomes even closer..
Rooney, who was the focus of the audience, successfully won many admiring looks with her elegance, fun, straightforwardness and generosity. Her debut was perfect..
Rooney, who has always been low-key, has never concealed the meaning of her surname "Mara", but because she has never attracted widespread attention, her family background has not caused much discussion; after tonight's appearance, those After crossing their eyes, they suddenly realized that this was also a queen from a famous family..
Not to mention others, even Renly has never seen Rooney look like this, not even on Oscar night. Rooney is like a proud peacock, always stingy in showing off her charm, even when she is in the spotlight of Hollywood. Under his gaze, she didn’t put much thought into it; until tonight, she finally proudly showed off her charm, which made people sit up and take notice..
“…… His eyes. The look in his eyes when he talks about movies and performances is honestly intoxicating. When he stands in front of the camera and performs, that is his most charming moment. So, I must admit that I account for He got a little advantage and got there before anyone else noticed his charm..”
When Arthur deliberately "made things difficult" for Rooney in front of everyone and asked Rooney what she liked most about Renly, Rooney answered calmly and humorously. At the end of the answer, she turned to Arthur. He looked away and asked with a smile, "I heard that the source of the rumors about Renly being the Great Demon King of Pranks came from you. It seems that there must have been many interesting things that happened when you were children. I wonder if you are willing to share some tidbits tonight.？”
A calm counterattack and just the right "threat" succeeded in making Arthur passive and forced him to smile. Arthur was almost choked.：
really! Proving once again that Renly is a complete evil! Look, the person standing side by side with Renly is not an angel at all, but another demon entirely.！
“Don't be like this. Although everyone here knows that Renly is not a gentleman, we still don't aim our guns at the master." Arthur finally dodged the crisis with a joke, and couldn't help but secretly wiped the sweat in his heart. But he saw Rooney smiling at her and raising her glass..
Arthur really felt that he needed to calm down.
Rooney has shown her own alternative charm, which is completely different from her cold and distant appearance. It really makes people look at her with admiration, surprise and admiration, silently moving between eye contact..
However, the biggest frontal blow was to Chris Evans - even now, he still couldn't "have a good conversation" with Renly; for Chris, he couldn't tell which one was more unexpected. Rooney appeared in the Prince's Garden - isn't this the most breaking news of the year in 2014? Or is it even more surprising that Rooney and Edith get along happily? The amount of information is a bit too much, and the memory in the brain is starting to run out..
This makes Chris more and more anxious.
In particular, Rooney moved around the entire venue with ease, exuding her own charm, and seemed to be able to trigger laughter wherever she went. The warm atmosphere of the Christmas dinner flowed in the warm air; but Chris was still a little reserved—— It can’t be said that he is out of place, and he is not that exaggerated, but there is still some space between letting go of the burden and integrating into it. The emotions of annoyance and envy, anxiety and expectation are constantly colliding in the chest, Chris I started to lose control of my right hand reaching for the champagne..
But at least he hasn't started drinking whiskey yet.
Later, Chris inadvertently stood next to Renly. By the time he realized it, it was too late to turn around - it was too obvious. He could only smile and look up at Renly. He gestured with his chin and entered awkward chat mode, "Rooney Mara? Really?"？”
Such a street-style repartee, complete with brotherly teasing, was far from the atmosphere of the entire Christmas dinner. Renly raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at Chris with a meaningful expression on his face, but did not speak. , that look seemed to be saying: So what?？
Subconsciously, Chris's eyes began to drift to the side, hiding his embarrassment, but it didn't seem good for the air to be silent like this, so he looked straight at the champagne tower not far away, mouthing Still making unfunny jokes, "The whole of Hollywood has been deceived by you. I really never expected it."……”
Pause, silence, and then abruptly added, "At that time, above Oscar, you..." Then there was pause, silence again, and after realizing that he was prying into Renly's privacy, he sounded like he was a gossiping neighbor. Like a neighbor, this made Chris couldn't help but touch the back of his head - his hands had nowhere to rest, "...I mean, I really didn't expect it at all. There was no clue before. You guys are really amazing... I'm not saying you are liars...you know what I mean……”
It doesn't seem right to say it this way, it doesn't seem right to say it that way. The last sentence is more like superfluous. Chris himself doesn't know where it comes from. The words just fade out silently and automatically, without finding the period, they stay there. a strange place.
Chris shifted his gaze stiffly, picked up the champagne, and poured it into his mouth again. However, after only two sips, he found that another glass was empty..
“Help！”
Fortunately, Renly didn't mean to embarrass Chris and said with a smile, "This shows that we are all very good actors..”
“ah! Yes, yes! Actor, great actor! "Chris found the steps and nodded in agreement, but he always felt that there was something strange about this sentence - was he mocking every actor as a liar, or was he mocking his poor acting skills? Chris was also confused for a moment Unable to draw a conclusion, and then...the words were cut off again, without any follow-up..
Renly was content, but Chris was restless..
Recently, because of Edith's incident, Chris himself has been thinking about it, staying away from the attention and noise of Hollywood for a while, really calming down, trying to sort out those complicated thoughts, and he knows that he must face it. Those problems, otherwise he and Edith wouldn't be able to see a future.
But what should he do?？
Judging from his performance in front of Renly tonight, Chris still can't see the light. If it were before, Chris might have just excused himself to go to the bathroom and left; but he didn't want to do that..
“Renly, do you hate me? "Chris plucked up the courage and asked boldly - in fact, he himself didn't know whether this question was appropriate or not, but he didn't know a better way, so he could only choose to break through head-on. He still hoped that he able to remain honest.
Renly raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes seemed to be saying: What gave you such an idea?？
Chris knew there was no turning back, so he could only bite the bullet and continue, "You always seem to be targeting me. It's not that you mean it, it's just... you don't seem to like me..”
“If I like you, Edith might cry." Renly said seriously..
Chris didn't understand at first, "Why do you like me, Edith wants to..." He repeated it stupidly, and then noticed Renly's gaze, and then realized that Renly was joking - "Like ", which means "like", but Chris couldn't laugh at all.：
This assumption is too scary! That...that's Renly Hall！
“"Renly... this is not funny." Chris was really frightened. "This is a very funny joke, but I am not in a good position to joke now. If I laugh, I suspect that I may spit it out directly.".”
