778 devil trap
In the past two months, London's upper class has had another interesting topic of conversation..
First, it was rumored that the eldest son of the Hall family, Arthur Hall, had a fight with another person, Keeley Hazell, in the locker room of the tennis club over a woman. The opponent was the second son of the Hamilton family, John Hamilton. -Hamilton), the point is, this woman is dating the Hamilton family's youngest son, Andre Hamilton.
Such bloody gossip is like a shot of stimulant, instantly lifting people's spirits. In comparison, the rumors of the Hall family's youngest son making a triumphant return as an actor were immediately debunked and became a thing of the past in the blink of an eye..
Soon after, the rumors had the latest development: not for a woman, but for a man. There was another update on the dating of Andre Hamilton and Keely Hazell. It was rumored that Andre had a new love and abandoned him. He fell in love with Keely, but Keely was unwilling to give up, so she took the initiative to hook up with John, but John was not interested. So, this accidentally led to the confrontation between John and Arthur, because both of them fell in love with the same person. man——
The identity of this mysterious man is temporarily unknown. There are countless speculations among the upper class, but no one can find out the truth..
The scandal reached a fever pitch at Christmas.
That night, the Hall family held a Christmas party. This was the Hall family's first external event since the release of "Fast and Furious 5". As Renly gradually moved away from the attention of the upper class, quietly filming in the countryside, Not even the hunt; George and Elizabeth finally seemed ready to re-enter social situations.
They invited three hundred guests. The theme of the party was the aristocratic pastoral life of the 18th century. Not only did the clothing, furniture, tableware, decorations, etc. all follow the retro style, but the process of the banquet, the holding of the ball, and the preparation of the meals were all Strictly adhering to the style of the year. This party was well received by all guests. The Halls returned to London's upper-class social circle in an extremely high-profile manner..
However, the focus of the night quietly shifted. Arthur brought a close friend to the party, and this friend was a male..
In fact, this is very common and normal in aristocratic social occasions, especially eighteenth-century-themed parties. In the previous era, private meetings between opposite sexes needed to be strictly controlled, and balls often became a popular event for young people. The best occasion for boys and girls to fall in love.
However, in view of the rumors in the past period, this seems a bit abnormal. At the party, Matthew Dunlop, Eaton Dormer and Andre Hamilton originally gathered together, but after Arthur and his friends appeared, Andre left his two companions, and there was no communication between them until the end of the party; in contrast, Matthew and Eaton seemed to have a lively chat with Arthur and his good friend..
Rumors abound after the Christmas party: Rumors about Arthur's sexual orientation intensify.
The most amazing thing about the whole incident is that Arthur, who is known for being well-informed in London, did not respond directly from the beginning to the end, as if...as if he was completely kept in the dark and had no idea what was going on; and , as another origin of the news, John Hamilton, the news surrounded him, only for a few days, and then it seemed that nothing happened to him, and there was no news update later..
By the time Arthur reacted, things were irreversible. George and Elizabeth were furious and refused to listen to Arthur's explanation. In desperation, Arthur could only escape to Sicily and hide in the middle of the Mediterranean, enjoying the winter. The bright sunshine. Because Arthur knew that this was a trap, a carefully laid trap..
Trap from Renly！
Not just John and Andre, not just Matthew and Eaton, not just his close friends, Arthur strongly suspected that even Edith had sided with Renly and was complicit! Otherwise, with his information network, how could he not have heard anything about it and even bring his rumored friends to the Christmas party?？
In this regard, Arthur expressed that he wanted to cry but had no tears. He just stood on the balcony and watched a good show. How could he end up liking men?？
At the same time, Edith was sitting on the minibus heading to Kandahar. The entire minibus was bumping violently up and down. There was dust outside the window and the scorching sun was shining in the sky. She felt that her whole body was about to fall apart..
In fact, she is not only the official photographer of the United Nations, she is also actually performing tasks assigned by the United Nations. However, her term has ended, so she can find time to do what she wants to do, but she still has not After leaving the United Nations, when occasionally there was a shortage of manpower, she would still take over the task without hesitation. Such as today.
The phone in her pocket vibrated. She took it out and looked at it. The caller ID showed that it was Arthur. Edith couldn't help but laugh. She shrugged and simply turned off the phone, then put the phone back in her pocket. Inside, she murmured in a low voice, "Sorry, you can only rely on yourself this time. Wish you good luck!" She absolutely refused to admit that in this incident, she was actually enjoying it, and it was not entirely for Renly. That photo on the phone.
She quickly picked up the camera, pointed it at the ragged and skinny children outside the car window, pressed the shutter, and recorded those pairs of confused eyes. Edith entered into working mode.
Looking at the phone in his hand that had not been answered for a long time, Arthur let out a long breath and couldn't help but feel a dull pain in his temples. That guy Edith was so unfaithful that she actually let him face the devil Renly alone.！
Calculating the time, it should be eight o'clock in the morning in Berlin, and Renly should have received his gift. Arthur dragged his chin and thought seriously about whether he should write another email to extend his love to Renly. An olive branch?？
By the way, Arthur-Hall's full name is Arthur-George-Hall, his middle name George comes from his father, and the English abbreviation is "AGH". Calla lily, that is the interior of the Hall family signal.
“Renly, is this a gift? "After breakfast, he finished his styling, and when he was about to leave, Nathan saw the card next to the bouquet. He originally thought it was the hotel's breakfast service, but obviously, it was not. "Do you know who sent this?？”
Renly shrugged, put on his skate shoes, and said half-jokingly, "Maybe it's a strange anonymous admirer." Then he walked straight towards the door, "Let's go, there's not much left before the press conference. time.”
So, Nathan followed in a panic, came to Roy, and asked in a low voice, "Do you know who sent it?" Out of politeness, Nathan did not read the card, but he still didn't He suppressed his curiosity and cast a gossipy look at Roy..
Roy also looked confused and curled his lips, "Who knows, maybe it's Tony Kaye?" It was originally just a joke, saying that he didn't know; but Nathan took it seriously and even talked to Roy. When discussing the possibility, this really makes Roy dumbfounded..
After leaving the room, you only need to take the elevator to reach the press conference directly - all press conferences of the Berlin Film Festival are held at the Grand Hyatt Hotel, which is very convenient..
“"Ding", the elevator door opened, and the bustling crowd was scattered in the spacious space in front of them. Upon hearing the sound, everyone turned their heads in unison, and after realizing that the person standing in the elevator was their target, they flashed The rattling sounds flowed down, and the noise in the ears suddenly became noisy..
Renly's footsteps paused for a moment. Nathan and Roy walked out first, opening the way in front, and then Renly followed closely. However, the reporters did not surround him, but followed Renly closely. footsteps, moving forward in parallel, the sound of the shutter always maintains a dense high frequency.
Mixed in the crowd, there were more than a dozen figures who looked like ordinary spectators. Three or four of them boldly ran to the front and said loudly, "Renly, I heard that you went to the cinema to watch the participating films last night. Will you go again today?？”
The corners of Renly's mouth couldn't help but turn up as he asked a question like a film festival, "I hope I still have time today..”
Before he could finish his words, two people rushed up. Nathan took the initiative to greet him and blocked him with a human wall gesture. However, Renly patted Nathan on the shoulder and said with a chuckle, "It's okay..”
Sure enough, the next two people handed over a stack of thick volume-like things, which looked like books or manuals, and then a roll of posters, "I heard yesterday that you haven't seen the 'Transcendence' poster yet. We have specially prepared a copy. On the back of the poster, there are also signatures from a group of our supporters. We hope that this movie will not disappoint us..”
This time, Renly was truly flattered. What he said casually yesterday became something that fans will remember..
Renly couldn't help but stop, and the entire "team" also stopped, and asked with a smile, "Are you the movie fans in Berlin?？”
“Yes. Mainly film fans from Berlin, but also from all over the world, from London, New York, and Melbourne. Unfortunately, they cannot come to the Berlin Film Festival, so it is up to us to bring their greetings and support." Standing. The strong man on the left looks like an ordinary blue-collar pick-up guy. He is wearing a simple plaid shirt and a brown jacket. His hair is a little bald. He does not look like a fanatic movie fan at all, but his eyes reveal sincerity..
Renly lowered his head and looked at the gift in his hand, "Please be sure to express my gratitude to everyone on my behalf!" Involuntarily, Renly was at a loss for words. If possible, he hoped to communicate with these fans face to face and sincerely express his gratitude. However, many times, words are indeed very pale. So Renly smiled and said again, "Thank you.！”
Taking steps again, the group of movie fans did not continue to follow, but stopped and stood behind and shouted, "Master, come on! We look forward to criticizing your work and your performance."！”
Renly couldn't help laughing and laughed happily. These are really a group of lovely movie fans..
