"Is it partly because you're going to refuse to accept the Commander's Medal?" Arthur suddenly remembered a potential possibility, half complaining and half joking.

Lan Li chuckled, "I can't deny it. The honest answer made both Edith and Arthur laugh helplessly, "What I want to say is, I don't care anyway, there is no difference to me, there is no difference to me, George and Elizabeth can't change my thoughts and decisions, but if you have to accept the award, then why not dream bigger?"

"You mean, if it has to be copper-stenched, then why don't you make the envious and jealous eyes around you a little more violent?" said Edith.

Lan Li pursed the corners of her lips and nodded calmly, "I don't mind saying that. ”

Arthur's smile also rose along with Lan Li, "Listening to this tone, it seems that the Order of the Commander of the Order of Knighthood cannot meet your ambitions, so what are you aiming for? ”

"Arthur. Lan Li shook his head in disappointment, "Dream bigger! If that's all you can see, then I'm going to start doubting the future of Sisyphus Pictures." ”

Edith chuckled, "Arthur, be despised. ”

Arthur was not discouraged, and thought about it seriously, "Is it an honorary medal?" This is a type of non-knightly medal, although it does not come with any title, but the honorary status is somewhat transcendent, and there are currently only three actors in the world who have won such a medal, Maggie Smith, Judy Dandy, and Ian McKellen.

Seeing that Lan Li was still smiling silently, Edith couldn't help but guess, "Lan Li, you're not aiming for the Order of the Garter, are you?"

The highest rank of the Order of Knighthood, the current 24 members are all from the royal family, and only two non-royal members in history are former prime ministers. From a point of view of principle, only those who have made a significant contribution to the country and whose two former prime ministers have been important figures in leading the country's resurgence during a special period can be awarded, and the queen will bypass all vetting procedures and grant it directly to the person.

What's more, the Order of the Garter stipulates that it can only be awarded to a maximum of twenty-four people, unless someone dies and a place is vacated before a new person can be awarded again.

If Lan Li is aiming for the Order of the Garter, then it is really ...... Shocking. Even George and Elizabeth probably did not have delusional thoughts about the Order of the Garter.

After Edith said her guess, she was the first to laugh She was just joking, but then she saw Lan Li showing a calm smile, and her calm demeanor made Edith stunned, and then she opened her mouth wide in surprise, and her foul mouth was almost about to burst out, but this time she controlled it, covered her mouth with both hands, and then couldn't help but say, "God, you're a madman." ”

Lan Li didn't deny it or admit it, "For me, there is no difference, I didn't choose to accept it in the first place, but if I have to accept it, why not choose the one that can produce the most effect? At least, you care, don't you? As for whether it can be achieved or not, what does it matter?"

Anyway, Lan Li didn't expect it to be realized, and he wouldn't try hard to make it happen, so it was better to set a super high goal and put it there as an ornament, which would have a deterrent effect, which seemed to be an option.

Edith and Arthur exchanged glances, and then Edith couldn't help but burst out laughing, because it was too unexpected, too shocking, and too ridiculous, so she couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Although you are a madman, I think such a madman is quite cute." ”

"Thanks for the compliment. The Blue Auditorium accepted the "praise" in a dignified manner.

Arthur couldn't help but rub his hands a little, "Lan Li, can you wait for me to fly back to London before refusing to accept the award?" I want to watch the follow-up uproar up close, the celebrity gossip in the whole of London this year is waiting for you. ”

A year ago at this time, Blue Rite won the Olivier Award, and then the Duke of Oxford's banquet became the biggest hot spotlight, and the discussion went on for a long time, and now that all the noise has subsided, it is time for Blue Rite to create another hot spot.

Arthur couldn't help but begin to make up for the stunned and surprised of the high-class celebrities, and his expression became cheerful.

But gradually, gradually, Arthur faintly sensed that something was wrong, and it seemed that a sharp line of sight was approaching little by little like the edge of a dagger, and he raised his head and noticed Edith's gloating expression, and the smile stiffened at the corner of his mouth, and it took him half a beat to realize it:

Did he just use the blue gift as a means of consumption? Moreover, he also said it directly?

“…… Edith, why did you come here to Honolulu?" Arthur tried to keep his composure, and changed the subject lightly, pretending that nothing had happened just now, "Don't say that you came here specifically for Lan Li, this kind of lie, you know we won't believe it, not to mention, be careful that Chris also kills Honolulu directly, and then the paparazzi will be moved." ”

Edith's face was full of stunned, obviously not expecting Arthur to use her as a shield, and she also complained about Chris Evans, which made her raise her chin slightly, revealing a look of disdain.

However, Edith's deterrent power was not comparable to Lan Li, and Arthur didn't care at all, puffed up his chest and looked back, not to be outdone, and confronted him head-on.

Lan Li chuckled, "Although it is very interesting to appreciate the fighting spirit of the two little pot friends, but I am a little sleepy now, if you are not ready to seize the opportunity, I will go to rest." By the way, I'm officially returning to the crew tomorrow, and there may be no time for the next period of time. ”

The subtext is: I know that neither of you is here to visit the sick, if there is anything, say it now, otherwise you will have no chance if you miss it.

Arthur immediately protested aggrievedly, "Lan Li, how can you see us like this? I know we may not have been so close in the past, but last time at Oscar night, we reconciled, haven't we? I have shown you the most vulnerable side of myself, and now that we are real brothers, how can you question my concern?"

Lan Li didn't speak, just cast a glance at Arthur.

Arthur raised his hand in surrender and muttered in a low voice, "Okay, okay, don't stare at me with that look every time, people who don't know still think you're interesting to me." ”

"What?" Edith caught some keywords, blinked, and looked at Arthur with a feeble expression.

Arthur suddenly exploded and glared at Edith, "Are you sure you want to continue the fight with me?" Shouldn't the two of them join forces to deal with Lan Li?

Edith expressed strong suspicions: the two of them together don't seem to be Lan Li's opponents, what to do, it's a bit of a nest and doesn't want to admit it.

But after all, Edith still kept her mouth shut, and Arthur turned her head to look at Lan Li, "Here's the thing, the reorganization of the crack has encountered some problems, obviously, the work of building an online video platform is still more complicated than imagined, and we need some help now." ”

Whether it's Arthur and Edith, or Lan Li, in fact, they are not good at expressing their emotions, especially in the face of this group of people in the Hall family, because the sense of restraint from childhood to adulthood is really too serious, and it cannot be changed overnight, even Edith has no way to express her worries about Lan Li generously like an ordinary family, and similarly, Lan Li has no way to accept this concern calmly.

To put it simply, there is something awkward on both sides.

Hearing that Lan Li was sick, Arthur and Edith were very worried, but even if they were worried about being close, they would not impulsively fly directly to Honolulu to visit Lan Li, which was too dramatic and emotional, and completely inconsistent with the habits and characteristics of aristocratic families. The best thing to do is probably an email, a letterhead, or a text message, clicked to the end without being over-the-top.

Now, Edith and Arthur have appeared in Honolulu, and the best and probably only explanation is that there are other circumstances going on, maybe the matter is not urgent and important enough to have to talk to back then, but they also use this excuse to appear in front of Lan Li.

The aristocracy's emotional expressions were indeed awkward, they were all learning, like children, but at least, they were now willing to try to open their hearts.

That's what Arthur was talking about now, and it could have been solved by conference call, but he showed up anyway.

"Andre and I think...... Uh......" Arthur hesitated slightly, he met Lan Li's gaze, and after receiving Lan Li's affirmative encouragement, he said, "Matthew is here to work for Don Quixote or is he coming to Sisyphus Pictures to lead the entire copyright department?" ”

Lan Li's eyebrows raised slightly.

"We need a legal department, whether it's working with Sundance, working with Sony Pictures, establishing distribution channels in the future, etc., we need our own legal department when it comes to copyright and contract discussions. We now have three lawyers, but the workload is still a bit unstable, what we need is a whole department, originally, we wanted Matthew to recommend some elites in the industry, but the asking price of those elites is too high, and they all have their own law firms, at least senior partners, and it is difficult for us to attract them. So, we wondered if we could get Matthew to come over. ”

This is indeed a tricky problem.

But Lan Li didn't hesitate, "I'll ask Matthew to recommend someone to come over to the list, as for Matthew, you and Andre don't be delusional, let him go." ”

Arthur opened his mouth, and wanted to fight for it again, but saw Lan Li shaking his head firmly, "Arthur, becoming a royal lawyer is Matthew's dream, and I support his dream, so this matter is impossible." Matthew's talent should be to stand in the courtroom and argue, not sit in his office and deal with the jackals of Wall Street. ”
