Why have George and Elizabeth become the hottest upstarts in London's high society in the past six months?

Why did Arthur and Edith both start to break free and try to forge their own path?

Why does Elph seem to be going through a period of pain, gradually estranged from her family, calmed down, and began to think?

Why was Richard's private banquet forced to expand again and again to the point where it now has more than five hundred guests?

Why is it that after the Oliver Award was released, there was a round of applause, and even the West End Association of London was willing to open its arms?

……

Blue Rite Hall.

That's the answer! It's incredible, but it's true, and that's the answer to all the questions.

The premise of the discussion is that in the 21st century, after the events of Princess Diana, the self-positioning of the aristocracy and the class relations of society are all changing;

It was against this backdrop that it happened.

To borrow a phrase from Graham Norton, Ranley Hall will one day join Daniel Day Lewis and die alone in the magpie's nest.

This is undoubtedly the best affirmation of Lanli's professional level.

The Oscars, Emmys and Grammys in the North American continent, the Berlin Movie Stars in Europe, the British Academy Awards and the Oliver Awards in the British Isles, these trophies are just embellishments, and they really make people realize the dedication and excellence of Lan Li, or the "Les Miserables", which won a full house, and also won respect and awe.

In any era, in any class, in any society, the best people from all walks of life are highly regarded, and artists are no exception. There is no need for words, to speak with works, to argue, to clash with strength, and to refute, to prove that the starry artists in the long river of history can always occupy a place.

The same is true of the current Blue Rite.

The reason why the aristocracy despised the profession of an actor was because the actors lost their dignity by being in the company of the peddlers' pawns, and that was because the actors were reduced to the likes of the market, condescending to fade their halos and showing their heads.

But if the actor can prove himself with strength, or even go further, interpret art with strength, and break away from the ordinary ranks and truly win a place, then the nobles will also take off their hats and show respect.

The reason why tonight's private party was so big was because of the Oliver Awards.

An Oliver Award is not only a commendation for the work of Blue Gifts, but also a recognition and acceptance of Blue Gifts in the West End of London, and more importantly, it is an appreciation from the level of professional skills, even more than the Oscars with a strong commercial taste, which has stirred up thousands of waves in London's high society.

It is no exaggeration to say that the current Lan Li is the hottest existence among the aristocracy.

The background of the hereditary aristocracy ensured that they were on an equal footing, without fear of vulgarity of etiquette and vulgarity of money, and the excellence of their professional skills ensured their admiration, and they expressed their respect as openly as the art of communication.

Just like Lawrence Oliver, even the woman and the king are not shy about showing their respect.

So, when Lan Li appeared, the whole party was boiling. No one is exempt.

"Congratulations on winning the Oliver Award. ”

"Are you sure you don't want to perform on stage on top of the anniversary show? Oh, that's a shame. ”

"The last time I met John Cord, he is now working on a brand new project, are you interested?"

"I've heard that you're going to set up a foundation in London to fund independent actors to go to college, is that true?"

"It is my honor to meet the famous Lord Lan Li. ”

"God, you're younger than I thought you would. Please forgive my faux pas, after watching 'Les Miserables', I always thought you should be sixty years old. ”

"I read an article a while ago that Judy Dench really wanted to work with you on the West End, and I couldn't agree more. ”

"Welcome. No wonder I said that tonight was a particularly beautiful night, and now I have finally found a reason. ”

"I'm sorry, please forgive me for my recklessness, but I must say that I personally enjoyed your performance very, very much more than 'Les Miserables'. ”

"I now finally understand why women are always crazy about you. To be honest, even I have some hearts ticking now. ”

The endless sound continued to ring in his ears, and in a short distance of less than thirty meters, Lan Li's footsteps had stopped more than forty times, and the space from the hall to the garden had not been finished after forty-five minutes, as if all the crowds of the entire banquet had already swarmed up.

Such a scene is reminiscent of the scene of the queen bee driving.

……

Richard, who was always by his side, carefully observed Lan Li's expression and demeanor, even in the face of such a crazy and scorching wave, Lan Li still did not have the slightest impatience and irritability, elegant and calm, personable, and calm etiquette throughout, and the humor in the laughter left a deep impression, just this kind of bearing, it is enough to make people look sideways.

It is conceivable that after today's banquet, Lan Li's reputation among the nobles is bound to reach a higher level.

Just like the plot in "Titanic", after the nouveau riche enter the party of the upper class, their every move will become the object of people's after-dinner complaints and contempt.

But on the other hand, the rising star is bound to become the most popular upstart among the upper class, and if it was two centuries ago, then now Lan Li has become the top seed of countless nobles' best sons-in-law.

Finally arriving in the garden, Richard noticed that Lan Li turned his head and exchanged glances with Matthew Dunlop, who was walking side by side, and in an instant, a hint of ridicule and banter leaked from the light and shadow, and only at this time could he capture a trace of unruliness hidden in the depths, outlining the image of the rebellious teenager who ran away from home and chased his dreams.

"Please forgive their fanaticism. If I'm not mistaken, this is the first time you've ever been to a formal party, right?" Richard cut to the chase and said with a smile, "I mean, after being an actor." ”

Lan Li chuckled, his eyes twinkling and quipping at Qi Ali, "It reminds me of the occasion when a girl attended a social party for the first time as an adult." I'm curious now if today's performance is enough to satisfy everyone?"

"Very satisfied. I can guarantee it. Richard picked up the champagne in his hand and gestured, "I really can't think of a more perfect debut." To be honest, I was a little worried that you weren't comfortable with such an occasion, after all, Hollywood socialization is not comparable at all, but now it seems that I have been overly concerned. ”

"Luckily, I invited Matthew to attend, and he did manage to block a lot of arrows. Lan Li said with a smile.

But Matthew, who was standing next to him, complained without giving any face, "Please don't believe his mask." In fact, Arthur and Lan Li never had the upper hand in the confrontation, and in addition, Andre was also Lan Li's henchman, and when we were together, the focus was always on Lan Li, no exception. ”

"Hamilton's?" Richard recalled, asking questions, and after receiving Matthew's affirmative answer, he also smiled meaningfully, "It seems that we still know too little about you." ”

"That's why I left London. Retain some mystery until it's broken down thoroughly. Lan Li was still unhurried, and he didn't mess up at all because of Matthew's complaints.

At this moment, Matthew cast a gaze, Lan Li instantly captured the deep meaning in the sight, and looked in the direction of Matthew's eyes, and then the two exchanged a gaze, and both showed a clear look: The battle is about to start!

Then, Matthew saw a touch of indifference and confidence in the depths of Lan Li's eyes, and he couldn't help but laugh dumbly. Originally, he was still worried about Lan Li's mentality and emotions, but in fact, Lan Li had already seen it, and he didn't care about this upcoming battle at all.

For the Halls, it was a battle that could not be lost, but for Lan Li, it was a battle that was over. On the starting point, different fates and endings have been predestined.

Appearing not far away, it was Mr. and Mrs. Hall, as well as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, and-

"Hey, Lord Lan Li. Beatrice took two steps forward with a little excitement, her eyes looking at Lan Li expectantly, her sparkling eyes that couldn't be taken away, but then she realized her gaffe and stopped reservedly. However, she still made a formal greeting in a down-to-earth manner.

"Princess. Lan Li also responded with perfect etiquette, "Good evening." The ladies are obviously going to be overshadowed tonight, but it should be a good thing for the Count. ”

Quietly, Lan Li sent a compliment, which made Beatrice's cheeks fly two flushes, glanced at Lan Li timidly, and then showed a big smile, "Thank you." A touch of sweetness bloomed on the tip of his tongue, "However, I'm not the protagonist tonight, I hope I haven't stolen someone else's style." ”

As he spoke, Beatrice's eyes still fell on Lan Li's body.

Lan Li smiled again and nodded, the corners of his mouth raised lightly, "I hope you are talking about the Duke of Cambridge, otherwise this is too rude." ”

A joke, and the topic naturally shifted to William and Kate behind them, and at the same time, everyone chuckled.

William also took over the topic and said with a smile, "I can forgive Beatrice for her faux pas, because I've been used to it for a long time." ”
