683 Enlightenment teacher
“For those who refuse to leave the European continent all their lives, whether it is New York or Los Angeles, they are all suitable places for vacation. However, it seems that some people are always denying that the Amazon jungle breeds advanced civilizations that we cannot fathom. They are always denying that the African continent is the origin of human beings, and for them, the North American continent is still the barbaric land of the Columbus era. Times are progressing, but for some people, time always stands still..”
Take your time, talk and laugh happily, like a spring breeze, with needles hidden in the cotton..
Renly started talking with a smile. Those familiar faces that he had not seen for two years seemed to have not changed at all. Time had left traces on their faces, but it had not changed their habits, style and manners. Blue Li controlled the social rhythm of the scene with almost no effort. Those bystanders waiting to see the joke were destined to be disappointed..
After staying in the "wild land" for two years, rolling around in the world as an "actor" for two years, being influenced by "vulgar culture" for two years, Renly did not become embarrassed, did not become embarrassed, and did not change. Despite being vulgar, in the understatement of conversation, he is still sharp, yet elegant and steady..
In a daze, the youngest son of the Hall family, who had stunned the aristocratic social circle many years ago, appeared in front of people again, and undoubtedly left a deep impression again - whether it was positive or negative. , then it’s a matter of opinion..
Seeing that the masks in front of him gradually became stiff, and the smile between his eyebrows became waning, Renly lightly shrugged his shoulders and joked pointedly, "Barbarians will always be barbarians. I think there is some truth in this sentence..”
This was a sentence that appeared in the British Parliament at the beginning of the 20th century. The original words at that time came from the aristocracy, refuting the argument that the Amazon jungle hides advanced civilization, and making a condescending judgment. However, a century has passed. After that, who is the barbarian now seems to be changing..
The same sentence, when Renly used it now, suddenly became meaningful..
After saying that, Renly raised the champagne glass and turned to leave. Eaton stood beside him and turned to leave. He widened his eyes and exhaled a long breath, "Jesus Christ, their faces will turn blue.".”
“The show they were looking forward to hasn't happened yet." Renly gently played with the champagne glass with his fingertips, as if he were playing the black and white keys. It had been eight minutes since he arrived at the scene, but George and Elizabeth still hadn't shown up..
This is not surprising. Neither George nor Elizabeth could have gone out of their way to find Renly. They had to put on airs, wait for Renly to take the initiative to greet him, and then leave a lasting impression on other onlookers. The scene of "family happiness". However, Renly would not do this. Arthur knew it, Edith knew it; to be precise, George and Elizabeth also knew it..
The question now is, will George and Elizabeth be unable to bear it and come to their door?？
Before he could finish his words, Renly's pupils lit up slightly and he caught the figure in the crowd..
He was a thin man about fifty years old, wearing a loose white shirt, a loose suit, and loose trousers. He looked like he was wearing a linen bag on his body, a bit slovenly and casual; he had short light gray hair trimmed Smooth, but the hairline has receded to the back half of the forehead, exposing two-thirds of the skull, but the remaining part is like pine needles, standing stubbornly and tall, outlining the outline of the owner's character..
At this time, he was standing in the open-air garden behind the house, talking to a small group of people around him. The creamy yellow light made the lawn and trees in the garden look quiet and soft..
Renly looked back at Eaton, "Is this the person you were talking about?" Eaton said just now that there is a person Renly definitely wants to see..
Eaton chuckled and nodded, "We met again by chance. I received a cooperation project to design costumes for a theater troupe in Stockholm. The background of the story is Queen Victoria's court aristocracy. During the cooperation process, I accidentally discovered that he was one of the guest directors. Today During the unveiling ceremony, he and several members of the troupe were in London, so I invited him to try it out. Unexpectedly, he actually came over. Or as you told me, he never likes such occasions..”
While talking, the thin man also noticed Renly. In fact, even if he wanted to ignore it, it was not an easy thing. Two people appeared side by side in the garden, one was the host tonight, and the other was the gossip. focus, naturally, the line of sight will be projected to it more or less.
The thin man walked over to meet him, but Renly didn't dare to wait for the other man to make a move. He took the initiative to greet him, "Mr. Cord." Renly nodded politely and stretched out his right hand..
John-Caird took hold of Renly's right hand and said with a stern face, "My basic skills must have been lost. What the hell was that movie in the summer before? Why is the rhythm of the performance so messed up?" If you say that, others will laugh to death. I can’t believe that you just walked out of our college..”
It was a reproach all over the place, but the joy between the brows revealed the true emotions in the heart..
Renly lowered his head honestly, showing a sincere and well-behaved look, "Yes, I think so too. Not long ago, I was thinking whether I should return to the stage to learn more. If I don't polish my basic skills well, Once you're done, you'll lose everything. After that, any role you play will be the same..”
But John didn't buy it at all, and said "hum", "You know how to talk nicely. The other teachers in the college have been bribed by your sweet words, but it doesn't work here. You kid, you just like to harm others everywhere. Be honest. Said, the last time I met Alison, she asked about your current situation. What did you do to her? She has always been obsessed with you?.”
“Alison? I am innocent." Renly's eyes widened and he looked at John openly, expressing his innocence..
John frowned slightly, looked at Renly carefully, and then said "hum" again, showing his disbelief. This left Renly helpless and could only spread his hands helplessly..
John Codd, a teacher at the Royal College of Art, Renly's first mentor. He was not only the interviewer for Renly's entrance exam, but also the teacher of the basic acting class. It can be said that Renly was brought out by John..
John is not only an acting teacher, he is also a famous drama director. His area of expertise is William Shakespeare. He directed more than a dozen Shakespeare plays in the West End of London, and also went to Chicago, Houston, Seattle, etc. He has toured all over the world. Of course, he has also won the recognition of the Olivier Award, the highest award in the British theater industry..
This is a true industry leader.
Facing Renly's "innocent" expression, John still didn't believe it, and just said, "Since I have always wanted to come back to the stage, why is there no news at all? Right now, I am re-preparing a play. Come over and audition for the leading role. The opportunity is close at hand.”
“I came to England this time and I have work. I need to complete filming on the set in the next few months." Renly told the truth, with a sincere and honest expression on his face..
John's eyes widened, his brows furrowed, and his shoulders hunched up, with an expression of "See, I knew it". This made Renly chuckle, "Are you ready to rehearse 'Hamlet' again?"？”
“"Hamlet" is John's famous play in London's West End. It was highly recognized that year and made a series of new actors popular. However, compared with other popular plays, "Hamlet" is too heavy and too profound. In London's West End, "Hamlet" After four years of performance, it was canceled in the mid-1990s. After the 21st century, it was performed twice more as a special performance, once for two months and once for three months..
John shook his head, "We are currently discussing rehearsing 'Peter Pan' and 'Les Misérables.' To celebrate the 110th anniversary of the birth of 'Peter Pan,' we are planning to rehearse a brand new version, where Peter grows up." In the story, Never Island is in danger of collapse, so Peter, who will never grow up, begins to grow up, and Captain Hook also begins to grow old..”
“Why do I sound reminded of an artsy version of 'Pirates of the Caribbean'? "Renly's complaint made John roll his eyes, but then he began to think seriously. He was still talking just now, but he suddenly fell into thinking. Renly had to interrupt John's train of thought, "Then Les Miserables 'Woolen cloth? Isn't it still being performed at the Queen's Theatre? Why remake a version?？”
“"Les Misérables" is the most frequently performed play in the UK and the third most frequently performed play on Broadway. In the UK, this play has never stopped since its debut in 1985 and has celebrated its tenth, twentieth and twentieth anniversaries. Five years later, it is still being performed..
“That's not the point." John waved his hand, his mind was not on chatting at all now, "Why do you feel like 'Pirates of the Caribbean'? I haven't seen that movie, it's just an adventure movie, isn't it? But 'Peter Pan' is not. Where did you get such an association?？”
Faced with such habits of his mentor, Renly was very familiar with it. He did not correct him, but followed John's words and started a discussion..
“What is the story of Peter Pan? He talks about our childhood dreams, not wanting to grow up, fighting against evil, and missing innocence. However, when Peter grows up, he will inevitably face his own growth and confusion, and at the same time he will have to fight against Captain Hook. Or rather , they began to look for the spring of rejuvenation and return to their innocence? Or do they accept social reality and begin to adapt to the world? No matter which version it is, I think it is somewhat similar to the story of 'Pirates of the Caribbean'. You can go watch this series of movies.”
Renly's words made John nod meaningfully, "The story I'm conceiving now..." The words were interrupted mid-sentence, because Eaton gave up his position, and because the surrounding noise suddenly disappeared. This kind of The unusual behavior made John raise his head. Before he could search, he saw a graceful and luxurious couple walking over..
