1009 Family Secrets

On the North American continent, all the box office energy is concentrated on the "Edge of Tomorrow", violently erupting, and on the other side of the Atlantic, on the British Isles, this commercial work led by Rite-Hall has also attracted the fanatical pursuit of the entire box office market!

Warner Bros. refers to the overseas box office market of Lan Li's past three works, and the UK is undoubtedly the top priority, and the box office performance is always exceptionally good, so this time "Edge of Tomorrow", the UK and North America chose to premiere simultaneously.

After the Los Angeles premiere, the whole crew went to London for the premiere, but only stayed for a short eight hours, and then went to Paris again to start the next three days of European promotion, Paris, Rome and Barcelona, and finally rushed back to New York non-stop, spending almost more time on the plane than on land.

However, the final box office figures show that the hard work of the crew members is worth it.

In the UK alone, "Edge of Tomorrow" achieved an outstanding result of $14 million in its opening weekend, ranking second at the box office of this year's UK premiere, behind the "Avengers" (25 million) and "The Hunger Games" (7 million).

In the British film market, they are compatible with both American and European characteristics, embracing the arrival of commercial films with open arms, and at the same time keen to explore the depth of thought of art films.

Naturally, a commercial work with such ideological depth and oriental charm as "Edge of Tomorrow" has easily gained a cult following, and the popularity of discussion has even surpassed that of North America, gaining incredible attention on social networks, and at the same time becoming the number one choice for young people to meet and communicate - even surpassing the "Avengers".

It was on this boom that Edge of Tomorrow once again sold 10 million at the box office in the UK the following weekend, a drop of less than 30 percent. In the British market, the "Avengers" fell by 50% in the second week, and the "Hunger Games" fell by 39% in the second week.

It is no exaggeration to say that the popularity of "The Hunger Games" in the United Kingdom is strongly overtaking "The Avengers" and becoming the hottest topic of the year. Among them, Lan Li is the absolute core that is well deserved.

In just the past six months, there has been a frenzy of "love is crazy", then widespread praise for "detachment" at the Berlin Film Festival, followed by the Almeida Theater's version of "Les Miserables", and then the strong attack of "Edge of Tomorrow......

As a representative of the new generation of actors in today's film industry, and also an authentic British, the discussions and heated discussions caused by Lan Li are unimaginable, and what is even more rare is that in the wonderful performances in London's West End, Lan Li proved his absolute strength, solid basic skills and profound performance, and was unanimously praised by professionals.

Compared to the North American continent, the popularity of Blue Rite in the UK is definitely surpassed.

In the midst of this craze, the news about the Blue Rite has become a hot spotlight, and even the "Pacific War" video rental and online viewing have once again become popular, with people chatting about the young actor's magical experience and the diligence and hard work behind it, while the rumours and anecdotes of the West End are widely circulated, and everyone is eager to publish "The Blue Rite in My Eyes" and enthusiastically join the discussion.

Ned Moulin, a veteran journalist for Imperial, couldn't help but join in the fun, and in the June 17 issue, he wrote an article titled "Blue Rite-Hall: A True Noble Kid with His Own Aura", like a drop of clear and transparent water falling into a bubbling oil pot.

At the present of the twenty-first century, the children of the aristocracy have gradually lost their halo and are slowly becoming commoners, even Queen Elizabeth is no exception, let alone other nobles in high society?

With the progress of the times, the children of the aristocracy began to enter all walks of life, doing the work of ordinary people, living the life of ordinary people, just like Princess Beatrice working part-time in department stores, such a situation is becoming more and more common, among them, there are many high-class members who become actors.

Eddie Redmayne, Tom Hiddleston, Benedict-Cumberbatch (Benedict-Cumberbatch), as well as Edward Norton and Rooney Mara in the United States, all of them are from the upper class with prominent family backgrounds, but they chose the profession of actor, active on the big screen, and achieved good results.

But in fact, they were all just the upper class, not the aristocracy.

For ordinary people, they were born in Eton College or Harrow School, became alumni of the same school as Prince William and Prince Harry, and then entered Cambridge University or Oxford University for further study; at the same time, they have a wealthy family, no worries about food and clothing, and there are even people in high positions in the family, this is a typical upper class, and ordinary people cannot get close to or integrate into the upper class in their lives.

This is a fact, an irrefutable fact, but among the true London aristocracy, these families can only choose to be new members of the social circle, not nouveau riche, but only one step further than the nouveau riche. For the aristocracy, they needed to pursue not only the title but also the family history.

Eton College and Harrow School have now opened up their admission qualifications, and are gradually becoming commoner, generally speaking, as long as the father or mother has enough social influence and of course enough wealth, the child can enter the school, that is, the family history is only two generations.

But in the real aristocratic genealogy, going back ten or fifteen generations is a simple and easy thing. This is called heritage, history, and inheritance. Only such a family can truly be called an aristocracy.

Eddie Redmayne, Tom Hiddleston, Benedict Cumberbatch, they are all of high society origins, but they are not really of aristocratic origin. Therefore, after leaving school, they chose to become actors, and the obstacles they encountered were not obvious, and the strange eyes they caused in high society were really limited.

For the emerging upper class, they have moved with the times and embraced everything of the new era, including divorce and actors.

In other words, the net worth of these actors is indeed amazing, but not enough to cause waves, but Lan Li Hall is different, he is a real noble child.

According to Moulin's investigations, the family name "Hall" dates back to the 11th century, when the knighthood was accepted in the early 12th century, when the Hall family had a close relationship with the royal family and many fiefs, although they were only barons, the lowest of the five titles, but they were the great barons, and at one point they were almost promoted to the rank of earl;

In modern history, hereditary titles have basically disappeared, and even if the royal family is knighted, it is impossible to inherit, at most it is only a lifelong noble.

After centuries of succession, Baron Hall was still one of the most prominent members of the royal family at the beginning of the 20th century, but it was a pity that the then baron, who was brilliant and glamorous, died in the First World War, leaving behind orphans and widows.

Although the toddler son inherited the title of baron and succeeded in continuing the bloodline, the family gradually declined, and after the turmoil of the Second World War, it quickly declined into an ordinary aristocratic family. However, the current Baron George Hall still grew up according to the inheritance and etiquette of the nobility, and used the family's connections to restore glory step by step.

In addition to George Hall, Elizabeth Hall is also from a noble family with a long heritage, hereditary Viscount, she is the second daughter of the family, she has studied ballet and painting since she was a child, and is very popular in social situations.

This is not a simple new aristocracy, nor is it a rising star who has risen to the top of modern society after making a fortune, nor is it a huge family that Eton College or Harrow School can represent, but a noble family with a long history and rich heritage, and both father and mother have retained the habits and characteristics of the aristocracy.

Just like Prince William and Princess Beatrice, the connections and inheritance of the aristocratic class have been completely continued. In upper-class social situations, the surname "Hall" is the best calling card, which is very different from the well-known "upper-class actors".

In the article, Ned Moulin writes, "At the press conference of the Berlin Film Festival, Lan Li showed his linguistic talent and knowledge of a wide variety of different languages, in his acting career, he showed a different understanding of literature, art, and philosophy, and in the process of making music, Lan Li showed a superior talent.

What's more, in this young man who is only twenty-two years old, there is a calm and restrained, elegant and calm temperament! All this is finally explained: all this is the result of receiving an authentic aristocratic education from an early age. Hereditary Baron, this is the true face of the Lanli-Hall family. ”

Not only that, but Ned went on to cite a series of evidence, including Eton College and Cambridge University, the most well-known schools, as well as the pomp and circumstance of the guests on the opening night of Les Miserables, which was definitely an aristocratic party. Now, everything has found an answer.

After the publication of this article in "Empire" magazine, it immediately detonated the Internet: what happens after the water droplets fall into the oil pot?
