"I thought you didn't need these names, you could just do that. In the face of Andre's ridicule, Lan Li raised his eyebrows slightly, and quietly gave a counterattack.

Andre had a cigarette in his mouth in his mouth, frowned slightly, revealing a provocative gesture of dissatisfaction, and did not speak, but the confidence and pride exuded in his bones were the best answer: about the part of men's charm, he has absolute authority, and he will not fall behind even in front of Lan Li.

Eton, who was standing next to him, complained with a smile, "Didn't you just say last time, you should wear a ring next time, so that you can attract more attention from the opposite sex." I thought the bachelor title was no longer in vogue anymore. ”

Andre glanced at Eaton speechlessly, "The real meaning of the ring is to reiterate that I am interested in women, otherwise, I am too popular, men always come over to talk, which is bound to affect other women's initiative to approach, understand?"

"You know, it won't be long before rings can have a double meaning. In July, the British House of Commons will formally vote to legalize same-sex marriage, and more than ninety percent of the current polls have expressed support.

Lan Li's words immediately put Andre in an embarrassment, Eton and Matthew both cast their eyes one after another, Andre was also speechless, and finally could only helplessly cast his gaze towards Lan Li, after shaking his head slightly, he still took the initiative to change the topic, "So, you are finally ready now, right? Then, this work is finalized." ”

No one mentioned Princess Beatrice.

They both knew that Beatrice liked Lan Li, but there was no possibility between the two of them.

Perhaps, George and Elizabeth liked to hear it, but for Lan Li, there was no possibility. He had spent a lifetime of effort trying to break free from the shackles, how could he take the initiative to put the shackles back on again?

Despite this, Andre's jumping conversation still made Matthew and Eaton both have a question mark, and even Lan Li himself was not able to react immediately, and there was a trace of confusion in his eyes, which made Andre show a big smile, "Since there is no refutation, it is decided, which is great." ”

finally caught Lan Li once, and Andre naturally wouldn't let it go easily.

Lan Li didn't panic, not only did not ask, but also followed Andre's words and said, "Very good, then it's decided." ”

Now, it was Andre's turn to get nervous: did they really come to an agreement?

Realizing his nervousness, Andre shook his head slightly, "You know, you're really a bastard. I've regretted it more than once, why did I want to be friends with you in the first place?"

"Because of youth and ignorance. Matthew's voice came over with grace, "Do it again, and the result won't change." ”

Andre choked in his throat in one breath and glared at Matthew fiercely: even if it is a fact, there is no need to say it!

Then he turned his head and looked at Lan Li, and Andre still revealed the answer frankly, "'The Norton Show'." Didn't you say on the show that you're ready now and want to be able to start filming again? So, 'Burst Drummer', as we said before, you will still star in this work. ”

It turned out to be the "Burst Drummer".

"Damian has communicated with me a few times, and the perfect candidate in his mind is still you, and he tentatively mentioned it to me several times, hoping that I can convince you to participate. He's willing to cooperate with your schedule, and as long as I don't mind, he can wait slowly. Of course I don't mind. Andrei explained further.

Under Lan Li's thread, André and Damien Chazereda reached a cooperation agreement, investing three million dollars and two million additional mobile funds, successfully taking over the production rights of "Burst Drummer" before many Hollywood studios.

However, the news has not yet been released, and Andre is still seeking cooperation from the publishing company.

Lan Li bowed his head lightly and muttered for a moment, "The show hasn't aired yet, how did you know the inside story?"

Isn't that the point?

Andrei was a little crutched. Eton and Matthew, who were standing next to them, were not able to react in time, and the corners of their mouths couldn't help but sneak up on a smile.

Fortunately, Andre and Lan Li have known each other for nearly a lifetime, and they have long been accustomed to the attributes of their friends, and they immediately recovered, "The show has not been broadcast yet, but the news has spread in the industry." After explaining seriously, Andre still couldn't help but complain, "I've been working all the time, what do you think I'm doing every day?"

"The bed rolls. Lan Li replied calmly.

Andre was speechless and blinked, "How do you know?"

"Poof. Eaton almost spat out the champagne, "Focus, please get to the point, okay? Why do you keep going off the rails every time?" Please take care of the listeners, we're a little out of tune." ”

"Everyone else understands except you. André glanced at Eaton.

Eton was stunned, then turned his head to look at Matthew, only to see Matthew also nodding seriously, Eton couldn't help but wail, "Oh God, I can't believe that you are actually my friends." ”

Andre patted Eton's shoulder to show respect, and then looked at Lan Li again, "There is absolutely no problem with the schedule, we can cooperate at any time." Even if you need to take another year off, that's fine, but that's it?

The words reveal an affirmation that does not allow rejection.

Lan Li remembered Andy Rogers. It wasn't long ago that he had just decided to start taking on the script again and getting into acting, and Andy had not had time to get to work before his next work was finalized. Thinking about it from another perspective, he is bound to feel really frustrated.

Suddenly, a chuckle appeared at the corner of his mouth, but Lan Li still nodded, "Okay." ”

Andre snapped his fingers, "Perfect!"

Without superfluous words, Andre turned around and took a step in the direction of the hall, now that the starring role and investment of "Burst Drummer" have been determined, then Andre's work can also be carried out one after another, out of confidence and trust in Lan Li, Andre is already convinced that he can successfully open the Hollywood market.

He needed to think further about whether he should set up an independent production company.

Eaton followed, "Andre, are you ready to officially start your foray into Hollywood? I've been thinking about whether I should work ......with certain movies recently."

The two of them chattered like this.

Lan Li and Matthew didn't stay where they were, their footsteps followed the two people in front of them, and slowly paced in the direction of the light source.

"I'm sorry. Matthew spoke.

This was the first thing Matthew said to Lan Li after the performance.

But it was completely unexpected, Lan Li was slightly surprised, and cast his gaze at Matthew in confusion.

Matthew shrugged and didn't explain.

Lan Li savored it for a moment, grabbing a hint of inspiration paradoxically, then laughed dumbly and nodded slightly, "Well, it's okay. This is considered an apology from Matthew.

After a moment of silence, Lan Li continued, "I can't remember the specific source now, I once read or heard such a sentence, all his life, parents are waiting for a thank you from their children, and children are waiting for an apology from their parents, but unfortunately, they are destined not to wait." ”

In the understatement, Lan Li still revealed a touch of sadness.

Although he never really showed it, and the injuries of George and Elizabeth are a thing of the past, he is an ordinary person after all, and he will still be hurt and scarred in his heart. So, first Arthur and Edith, then Matthew, Andre and Eton, Lan Li still felt the warmth of happiness in his heart, sincerely.

Matthew raised his head and looked at Lan Li's side face, a shallow smile outlined at the corner of his mouth, "So, we chose to vent our emotions to our friends and lovers." It's a pity that you don't have a lover for the time being, so all the damage can only be borne by us friends. ”

Lan Li pursed the corners of his lips, his eyes fell on Andre and Eton in front of him, and said jokingly, "You mean, next, we are going to start hurting each other?"

Matthew didn't speak, just raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.

Lan Li couldn't help but laugh merrily, and then, picking up his pace slightly, joined Andre and Eton.

I saw that Lan Li turned around, walked backwards, and beckoned to Matthew, "Please, keep up, show a little vitality." Otherwise, wouldn't my performance just now be in vain? The atmosphere that had been enlivened up so hard was now going to fall silent, and I wouldn't have the energy to perform a second time. ”

Matthew exhaled softly, helpless, but still followed.

The night is thick.

The party seemed to have regained its calm, and the excitement and noise began to bubble again, and only some residual madness and grandeur could be captured between the eyebrows and eyes, reminiscing about the wonderful time of that melody, short but timeless.

The only anomaly was that the party's host, the Earl of Oxford, disappeared from the crowd, completely gone. I never came out to socialize and socialize, nor did I come out to organize and connect, so the party went on naturally.

Rumor has it that Richard was seen hiding on the balcony and quietly enjoying a glass of whiskey, and burst into tears.

It is also rumored that Richard was seen looking for Lan Li in the garden, and his bright eyes were even brighter than the sun.

But these are all rumors, and no one can verify them after all. Because Richard really disappeared. The party without the host did not last long, and by midnight, under the auspices of the butler, the guests left the party one after another, and the night fell silent, without the slightest trace, as if nothing had happened.

But the waves that belong to London's high society have only just begun.
