"You mean, you're not going to be back on stage for a while? Oh, that's a shame. Kate expressed her heartfelt stuckness, "I've always wondered when I'll be able to really enjoy your performance on the theater stage, but now it seems that it's going to be pushed back again." ”

"God. Richard exclaimed, "Oh God. Lan Li, please, please come back to the West End. Hollywood is just a child's trick, and the theatrical stage is where you really shine. ”

Beatrice brought up the topic, but now she couldn't interject, and stood by, her eyes widened like a rabbit, staring at Lan Li, nodding her head in agreement, Kate and Richard's words.

Lan Li smiled dumbly, "You know, drama is the art of actors, TV series is the art of screenwriters, and movies are the art of directors. Strictly speaking, the theatrical stage does belong to the actors, and there are only a handful of actors like Lawrence Oliver, even in the long river of history. ”

These words succeeded in getting everyone to nod their heads in agreement. William was the exception, he seemed a little absent-minded and not interested in such a topic, but as a gesture of politeness, he smiled and cast his gaze.

"In the process of film creation, the actor is a pawn in the hands of the director, integrated into the work of art, a bad actor may destroy the work, a qualified actor may achieve the work, and a successful actor ......" Lan Li's eyes fell on Beatrice.

"Probably brighten up this work. Beatrice blurted out without thinking.

Lan Li smiled and nodded in agreement, "Exactly. So, I've always thought that acting in a theater and acting in a movie are two very different experiences, but you can find something in common. If you like drama, you can also find resonance in movies, and conversely, if you like movies, you can also appreciate the moving of drama. ”

Richard chewed carefully, then showed a meaningful gaze, and looked at Lan Li with a smile, "You know, there are countless people who have recommended movies before and after, but I have never been to the cinema. Now, I have to admit, you convinced me. Perhaps, if there is a chance in the future, I should enjoy a movie and then make a judgment. ”

"Welcome. Lan Li showed a bright smile.

"Garbage. A rough and muddy voice came from not far away, as if speaking with a mouthful of thick phlegm, and the muffled sound of snorting instantly made people uncomfortable.

Before everyone could turn around, the sound like a wire brush thrown into a juicer rang out again, and one curse after another, "Dog/!!"

Moreover, instead of simple foul language, the use of authentic British expressions, such as "Nitits", "Cobblers", and so on, from Welsh slang to Scottish vernacular, is endless, and even the pure English may not be able to understand it all, but the people who come are neat and fluent and continuous, and there is no overlap at all.

Wouldn't the aristocracy use foul language?

This is a misconception. In fact, the aristocracy is the group that knows the most about foul language.

In the course of childhood education, when their etiquette has become a habit, the tutor or housekeeper will give a special lesson to teach all kinds of foul language, the original purpose of which is to prevent gaffes and derelictions on any occasion.

Of course, foul language is only part of the story. The course covers all the terms used, including what words are more appropriate for people in a particular area, and some words that imply discrimination or disparagment.

Therefore, for the aristocracy, a person's daily conversation, vocabulary habits, voice intonation, etc., can reveal too much information. Someone once said that poverty cannot be hidden, especially for the aristocracy.

It is precisely because of this that even a down-and-out aristocrat like the Hall family still puts on a lofty posture. Their rich heritage and long heritage allow them to easily make many judgments in their daily lives, and even further grasp the situation of the whole scene.

So, even though they don't have enough to eat, they can't help but exude contempt and discrimination.

The reason why the aristocracy does not use foul language is to protect their etiquette and image, but for those nobles and lords of the older generation with old qualifications, their foul language is also a "treasure trove", which can be easily obtained.

With such a sensational and grand opening statement, you don't need to look back at all to know the identity of the person who came: Viscount John de Bioford.

George's shoulders quietly slackened a little, and a large stone in his heart finally fell, but there was still no emotion on the surface.

"Sir. Richard stepped forward and tried to clear the siege.

But John didn't give Richard face at all, with his age and status, with his status and connections, he didn't need to take care of Richard's thoughts, it was enough to put on the posture of an elder teaching a lesson, "Shut up! You are the way you are, does your father know? God, you are simply a disgrace to the Vir family! Aren't you talking about a midsummer party? Why is everyone talking about an actor?"

John reprimanded him unreasonably, and the swearing made Richard's face stiffen slightly.

"You should be glad that your father didn't know, or he would have jumped out of the coffin by now!" John was still unrelenting, and the cursing seemed to have just begun, "You must always remember who you are, how can you be in the company of actors? That's a bunch of filthy and ugly people! They are just coveting your possessions and identity, they are like rats in a stinking gutter, they stink!"

Not to mention Richard, Kate and Beatrice, who were standing next to them, also became slightly embarrassed, because John's words were so ugly that their eyes couldn't help but cast their eyes on Lan Li.

Richard also realized this, and straightened his back, "Sir, watch your words and attitude! It's 2013, not 1913!"

"Yes, it's 2013! I know!" John didn't give any space at all, "It's the age of the Internet, even the women/kings/majesty/majestys have to be cautious in their words and deeds, everyone is watching our every move! You have to be more obedient! You say, what the hell is going on? You actually invited an actor! And you're making a lot of nonsense here?"

"Viscount Bioford!" George stepped forward and interrupted John forcefully, "please watch your manners. Unfortunately, my youngest son is an actor. As he spoke, George's gaze fell on Lan Li, and he put on an angry expression, "These foul words can be left outside the party, you can keep your opinion, but please don't lose your temper in person." ”

Lan Li, who was standing aside, said: Flattered.

This should be the first time in his history since he was a child, George has publicly asserted himself and fulfilled his duties as a father on any occasion.

But this glory, Lan Li is not blessed.

Just now, John was aiming at Richard in and out of his words, but he didn't pay attention to Lan Li at all. Obviously, John had only heard about the party, and out of disgust with the actors, he made a special trip to condemn Richard, but he had no idea which actor the so-called actor was.

Now, after George's reminder, John suddenly realized.

"So, this is the Vanity Fair man, and you're his father?" John's attention shifted in an instant, but his fire didn't diminish in the slightest, "You should be ashamed!" and this sentence was addressed to George, "It's a family misfortune! You should have kicked him out of the house and brought him to the party?"

George's face stiffened.

John immediately aimed the muzzle of the cannon at Lan Li, only to see that he raised his chin contemptuously, and looked Lan Li up and down with a look of disdain, "How many times have you betrayed your body to get to where you are now?

"Viscount Billy Orford seems to know the market better than I do, and it seems that he should have tried less before. Lan Li's expression did not change, and he still replied with a smile, "Sir tonight's performance, I don't know if the lady/king/majesty/majesty should cover your ears if you are here, if I remember correctly, compared to the dirtiness of the body, etiquette is the part we need to learn the most." ”

Then, after a slight pause, the tail of his eyebrows raised, Lan Li added, "Oh, by the way, I'm not interested in Sizz's business proposal. You know, we have standards as well. ”

The attitude of not being humble or arrogant, not being hurried, showing the atmosphere and calmness, and the elegant temperament that bursts out from the inside out, but like an iron wall, it fights back strongly.

John, who seemed to stand on the moral high ground, became embarrassed, and Lan Li, who seemed to be precarious and disgraced, showed elegance in line with the aristocracy.

But Matthew, who was standing next to him, knew that Lan Li's anger had broken through the bottom line.

Before attending the dinner, they had expected conflicts and contradictions, but for Lan Li, he didn't care, he didn't care, he didn't want to embarrass George and Elizabeth, and of course, he didn't plan to cooperate with the performance. However, their methods were still unexpected, and once again refreshed Lan Li's cognitive bottom line.

Matthew's gaze fell deeply on George and Elizabeth, sharp and sharp, pausing slightly, and then he still looked at Lan Li, with a trace of sadness in the depths of his eyes.

Everyone is envious of the glamorous glamour of the aristocracy and high society, but in order to maintain this layer of shell, the dirty methods behind it are not visible. What's even more tragic is that even family affection has been reduced to a bargaining chip for the exchange of interests. Lan Li always likes to come back to London, but she can't find the warmth of home here.

Facing Lan Li's frontal counterattack, John laughed angrily, "Ha, look at this guy, he doesn't fall behind in words." If you really have arrogance in your bones, then you shouldn't go out and embarrass people, and if you are really upright, don't play prestige in your mouth. ”

This storm, apparently, is not over yet.
