684 In a moment
The middle-aged man standing on the left is majestic and tall. His navy blue dark plaid suit makes the gray on his temples dyed with the precipitation and charm of the years. His piercing eyes light up his entire face. The middle-aged woman on the right is elegant and elegant. She wears a long red lace evening dress, imitating the design of an ancient Greek sacrificial goddess, with low-key nobility and gorgeousness. Her high bun reveals her delicate beauty. His face, the traces of time have become another kind of beauty.
George Hall and Elizabeth Hall.
The two people appeared together, walking calmly, calmly and elegantly, and nodding politely to the people around them from time to time. This made those who were looking at them embarrassed to continue to stay, and they could only politely avoid them, and then used their peripheral vision to Observe every move and chat next to you. The chat is still going on. Everyone is trying to whitewash the peace, but they are already absent-minded..
The footsteps stopped beside Renly and John. The shadow cast covered John's sight, interrupting John's words. She raised her head reflexively. Elizabeth showed a ladylike smile to John, "Everything has happened recently. How are you? Mr. Codd. I watched your production of 'Nichos-Nickleby' last week and it was a wonderful performance..”
“"Nicholas Nickleby", adapted from the original play by Charles Dickens, is also a beloved beech play by the British..
“It's an honor." John politely expressed his thanks, "But to be honest, I still think Renly is the most suitable candidate. At his current age, I can't find a more perfect choice." In the original book , Nicholas is a young man in his early twenties.
Renly raised his eyebrows slightly. He had never heard of this before. However, he did not look at George and Elizabeth, but turned to look at John. "When did the rehearsal for this version begin?"？”
“Around March last year." John did not notice the undercurrent among the three Halls and said bluntly, "I have been waiting for your response until the last moment. So, don't tell me anything. You want to return to the stage. Last year you rejected Nicholas Nickleby. Just now you said that you have been busy with work recently. Let me tell you, Renly, if you continue like this, your basic skills will really be wasted..”
Last April, that was before the official launch of "War in the Pacific". At that time, Renly was still idle at home and had not yet encountered the opportunity to perform "Buried Alive". In other words, if Renly learned that John was rehearsing "Nicholas" -Nick Bay", he would definitely be willing to return to the West End to audition.
But why does Renly know nothing?？
Renly's eyes fell meaningfully on George and Elizabeth. They were very calm and calm, without any fluctuations. "I think so too. Therefore, Dame Dench will come back every two years." Performing in London's West End for a while. I should continue this fine tradition." As he spoke, Renly was responding to John's concerns..
George turned to look at Elizabeth, his expression still unchanged, "It's winter now, everyone has become lazy, hiding at home, and even the theater is unwilling to visit, leaving only tourists from all over the world. The so-called classics The repertoire has gradually become a tourist attraction. Without art and creation, it is time to eliminate it. Mr. Codd, what do you think?？”
This is a question that the entire art world is discussing, and it is also true for the upper class. They don’t want to enter the theater and see a large number of tourists who know nothing. What they worry about is not that the audience will speak out about their opinions. Views of drama, but those audiences simply cannot see it, and do not even follow basic drama etiquette.
John gently retracted his jaw and was about to answer. Unexpectedly, Renly took the lead and said, "Haha, modern society is always too impetuous. It can't wait to give up those traditional arts, and then sticks to those stupid situations and etiquette. While refusing to accept the progress of the trend, at the same time refusing to explore the connotation of tradition. This is how art gradually dies..”
On the surface, we are discussing art, but in fact, we are discussing rules. Behind these simple words, there is a sharp edge..
Eaton was caught in the middle, feeling like a light on his back. He still didn't like this situation. His eyes fell on George for a while, and then looked at Renly, completely at a loss, like a lost lamb..
“Is it like a library? Elizabeth took the conversation calmly. She just mentioned "Nicholas Nickleby" just to open up the social scene. For a moment, she actually forgot that John had called and invited Renly to star. But this was not enough. To make her panic. "Today's young people are accustomed to using computers, the role of libraries is declining, and even the status of paper books is disappearing. Who knows how the future will develop?" The so-called art should maintain its original appearance. If it is reduced to a commercial bargaining chip, it is better to seal it up and keep it in a museum like a painting..”
“Then let all the younger generation refuse to enter the museum. When the older generation leaves, art will leave with them forever." Renly's answer was unhurried, but he looked at George and George as equals. Elizabeth. Elizabeth was still holding back at this time, her expression stable; but George could already see the flames rising in the depths of his eyes, "I mean, the library will not die, even if everyone uses mobile phones in the future, but books The artistic status of museums still exists. The same is true for museums. We must recognize the significance of the existence of museums, but we must also recognize the new characteristics given to art in the Internet age..”
The reason why film is called the seventh art is because it integrates painting, drama, literature, music and other art forms, and then creates a field of its own. Regardless of artistic works or commercial works, they are all art in the final analysis A form of creation. Just like literature and drama in the past, movies should also be accepted by "conservative forces".
To briefly summarize the conversation just now:：
Movie actors are shameful. Movie actors are glorious.
George's eyes were fixed on Renly, but underneath the calm surface was a storm, "What about hunting? Should hunting also be eliminated by the times? Or is it still advancing with the times?？”
“If it is for survival, then hunting is part of the cycle of nature; but if it is for showing off and socializing, then hunting, like clothes, jewelry, and crowns, is just capital for people to show off. In my opinion, hunting and movies have nothing to do with each other. Any difference." Renly showed a strong momentum that would rather bend than bend. Under the attack of George and Elizabeth, he still did not fall behind..
Elizabeth could feel George's arm muscles beginning to tighten, but she had no energy to comfort George, because there was also a fire burning in her own chest..
Renly did it on purpose, they knew it, and Renly himself knew it, it was all carefully arranged..
They told the time in advance, just to let both parties miss each other and save face; but Renly still chose the same time period and showed up directly. What's terrible is that just a few minutes after Elizabeth arrived, Renly's footsteps Just arrived, which pushed George and Elizabeth into an awkward position - they had no way to find an excuse to leave immediately, otherwise their intention to escape would be too obvious.
What's worse is that Renly never took the initiative to look for George and Elizabeth, and also started socializing calmly, not shying away from the powerful exposure brought by "Fast and Furious 5", which is simply embarrassing. The Hall family's "Family scandal" seems to have been exposed on the table in this way.
“Renly could not care about the honor carried by the surname "Hall", but George could not, and neither could Elizabeth. Therefore, in this battle of spirits, they were destined to be the losers, so they compromised and took the initiative to find Renly.
It wasn’t the embarrassment they expected, nor the despair they expected, or even the timidity they expected. The confident and flamboyant Renly completely ignited the frustration and anger deep in the hearts of George and Elizabeth. Renly showed up in social situations. Every inch of victory is every inch of the Hall family's social setbacks..
“Then you'd better not attend the winter hunting, lest you feel out of place at the scene." Elizabeth had a smile on her face and was amiable, but there was a chill in her words that made people shudder..
Renly nodded politely and responded with a smile. Although he didn't say anything, his neither humble nor arrogant attitude was the best answer: I don't bother to attend the winter hunting..
However, George and Elizabeth didn't care about Renly's attitude. What they wanted was the result, and they felt a little more relaxed. But before they could completely calm down, Renly said with a smile, "By the way, I will work in Hampshire. You are welcome to visit the class and share the latest news about hunting..”
George's face darkened, which was not obvious in the night, but Renly knew that George's mood had reached the critical point. Normally, George's temper tolerance was not so bad when faced with things, but when faced with Lan Li, Li, this is another matter.
Elizabeth secretly squeezed George's arm to signal her to calm down, then walked forward and said with a smile, "Then your father and I will leave first. We still need to attend the Hamiltons' private party." Elizabeth pretended to give. He hugged Renly, as affectionately as a mother who loves her child, and whispered in Renly's ear, "You should behave more appropriately.".”
Renly couldn't help but smile, "You should know your children better..”
What Elizabeth means is that Renly should avoid the time when they appear; and what Renly means is that he has a deliberately antagonistic personality and is not allowed to attend, but will deliberately attend. If George and Elizabeth did not inform in advance, Renly would Li didn't choose the time deliberately. He might meet him or not, each of which was a 50% chance. But if they informed him in advance, it would be like setting up a target. Renly would not miss it easily..
After a exchange of words, the two people let go of each other, and then George and Elizabeth turned around and left..
