Views:

In the past two months, London's high society has added another topic that people are talking about.

First, it was rumored that Arthur Hall, the eldest son of the Hall family, had a fight with another person in the locker room of the tennis club for a woman. Keeley Hazell, the opponent was the second son of the Hamilton family, John Hamilton. -Hamilton), the point is, this woman is dating Andre Hamilton, the youngest son of the Hamilton family.

Such dog blood gossip is like a stimulant, which instantly makes people feel refreshed. Comparatively speaking, the rumors that the youngest son of the Hall family returned triumphantly as an actor immediately weakened and became a thing of the past in a blink of an eye.

It wasn't long before the rumors got an update: not for a woman, but for a man. Andre Hamilton and Keeley Hazell's dating has been updated again. It is rumored that Andre has a new love and abandoned Keeley, but Keeley is unwilling to give up, so he takes the initiative to hook up with John, but John doesn't interest. So, this led to the confrontation between John and Arthur, because both of them fell in love with the same man—

The identity of this mysterious man is temporarily unknown. There are countless speculations among the upper class, but no one has been able to find out the truth.

Gossip hits a peak at Christmas.

That night, the Hall family held a Christmas party, which was the first time the Hall family had a public event since the release of "Fast & Furious 5". As Renly moves away from the sights of high society, filming quietly in the country, not even taking part in hunting; George and Elizabeth finally seem ready to re-enter social situations.

They invited 300 guests. The theme of the party was the idyllic life of aristocrats in the 18th century. Not only did the costumes, furniture, tableware, decoration, etc. all follow the retro style, but also the process of the banquet, the holding of the ball, and the preparation of the meal were all Strictly adhere to the style of the year. The party was well received by all the guests. The Halls have returned to London high society circles with a very high profile.

However, the focus of the night has quietly shifted. Arthur brought a close friend to the party, and the friend was a man.

In fact, this is very common and normal in aristocratic social occasions, especially eighteenth-century-themed parties—in the previous era, private meetings of the opposite sex needed to be strictly controlled, and dance parties often became young boys The best occasion for teenage girls to fall in love.

However, given the rumors of the past period, this seems a little unusual. At the party, Matthew Dunlop, Eaton Dormer and Andre Hamilton originally gathered together, but after Arthur and his friends appeared, Andre left the two companions until the end of the party. There is no communication between them; instead, Matthew and Eaton seem to be having a good time with Arthur and his friend.

After the Christmas party, the rumors roared: The rumors about Arthur's sexuality grew louder.

The most amazing thing about the whole incident is that Arthur, who is known for being well informed in London, did not respond positively from the beginning to the end, as if... as if he was completely kept in the dark and had no idea what was going on; and, as a Another origin of the news, John Hamilton, the news revolved around him for just a few days, and then it seemed that nothing happened to him, and there was no news update after that.

By the time Arthur reacted, the matter was irreversible. George and Elizabeth were in a rage and did not listen to Arthur's explanation. In desperation, Arthur could only escape to Sicily, hide in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, and enjoy the winter season. of bright sunshine. Because Arthur knew it was a trap, a well-laid trap.

Trap from Renly!

Not just John and Andre, not just Matthew and Eaton, not just his close friends, Arthur strongly suspects that even Edith is on Renly's side, complicit! Otherwise, with his news network, how could he have not heard any rumors, and he also brought his gossip friends to the Christmas party

In this regard, Arthur expressed that he wanted to cry but had no tears. He just stood on the balcony and watched a good show once. How did he end up liking men

At the same time, Edith was sitting on the bus going to Kandahar. The entire bus was constantly bumping up and down. The sand and dust outside the window were filled with the scorching sun. She only felt that her bones were about to fall apart.

In fact, she is not only the official photographer of the United Nations, she is also carrying out the tasks assigned by the United Nations, but her term of office has ended, so she can take time to do what she wants to do, but she still does not After leaving the United Nations, when there are occasional manpower shortages, she will still be obliged to take over the task again. Like today.

The phone in the pocket vibrated, took it out and looked at it. The caller ID was that guy Arthur. Edith couldn't help laughing, shrugged, turned off the phone, and put the phone back in the pocket. Inside, she whispered, "Sorry, you can only rely on yourself this time. Good luck!" She absolutely refused to admit that in this incident, she was actually enjoying it, not entirely for Renly's sake The photo on the phone.

He quickly picked up the camera, pointed at the ragged and skinny children outside the car window, and pressed the shutter to record the bewildered eyes. Edith went to work.

Looking at the phone in his hand that went unanswered for a long time, Arthur let out a long sigh of relief, feeling a dull pain in his temples. That guy, Edith, is really disloyal, and he actually left him alone to face the demon Renly!

Counting the time, it should be eight o'clock in the morning in Berlin, and Renly should have received his present. Arthur dragged his chin, thinking seriously, should he write another email to extend an olive branch to Renly

By the way, Arthur-Hall's full name is Arthur-George-Hall, the middle name George comes from his father, and the English abbreviation is "AGH". Calla lily, that is the internal code of the Hall family.

"Renly, this is actually a gift?" After eating breakfast and finishing the styling, Nathan was about to leave when he saw the card next to the bouquet. He originally thought it was the hotel's breakfast service, but obviously, it wasn't. "Do you know who sent this?"

Renly shrugged, put on his skate shoes, and said half-jokingly, "Maybe it's a strange anonymous admirer." Then he walked straight to the door, "Come on, there's not much left to the press conference. It's time."

So, Nathan followed in a panic, came to Roy, lowered his voice and asked, "Do you know who sent it?" Out of courtesy, Nathan didn't read the card, but he still didn't Holding back his curiosity, he cast gossip at Roy.

Roy was also dazed, and curled his lips, "Who knows, maybe it's Tony Kaye?" It was just a joke, indicating that he didn't know; but Nathan took it seriously, and he was still with Roy. When discussing the possibility, this really made Roy dumbfounded.

Leaving the room, you just need to take the elevator and you can go directly to the press conference site - the press conferences of the Berlin Film Festival are also all held at the Grand Hyatt Hotel, which is very convenient.

In the life of "Ding", the elevator door opened, and the bustling crowd scattered in the spacious space in front of them. When they heard the sound, everyone turned their heads in unison, realizing that what was standing in the elevator was their goal. The flashing light clattered down, and the noise in my ears suddenly became noisy.

Renly's footsteps paused for a moment, Nathan and Roy walked out first, leading the way, and then Renly followed. However, the reporters did not block up, but followed Renly's footsteps and moved forward in parallel. The sound of the shutter always maintained a dense high frequency.

Among the crowd, there were more than a dozen ordinary audience figures, three or four of them boldly ran to the front and said loudly, "Renly, I heard that you went to the cinema last night to watch the participating films, Are you still going today?"

With a film festival-style question, the corners of Renly's mouth rose, "I hope I still have time today."

The voice didn't fall, and then two people rushed up. Nathan took the initiative to meet him and blocked it with a human wall, but Renly patted Nathan on the shoulder and said with a chuckle, "It's okay. "

Sure enough, in the next step, the two of them handed over a stack of thick book-like things, which looked like books or manuals, and then a roll of posters, "I heard yesterday that you haven't seen the poster of 'Transcendence' yet, We have prepared a special copy. On the back of the poster, there are also the autographs of our group of supporters, I hope this movie will not let us down.”

This time, Renly was truly flattered. A casual sentence yesterday has become an important thing that fans will keep in mind.

Renly stopped involuntarily, and even brought the entire "team" to a halt, and asked with a smile, "Are you Berlin fans?"

"Yes. Mainly Berlin fans, and then all over the world, London, New York, Melbourne. They unfortunately can't make it to the Berlin Film Festival, so it's up to us to bring their greetings and support." Station The brawny guy on the left looks like an ordinary blue-collar pick-up, wearing a plain plaid shirt and brown jacket. His hair is a little bald. He doesn't look like a fanatic at all, but his eyes reveal sincerity.

Renly looked down at the gift in his hand, "Please be sure to thank everyone on my behalf!" Involuntarily, Renly was at a loss for words. If possible, he hopes to communicate face-to-face with these fans and sincerely express his gratitude. But, many times, the words are indeed very pale. So Renly smiled and said again, "Thank you!"

Stepping forward again, the group of fans did not continue to follow, but stopped, stood behind and shouted, "Master, come on! We look forward to criticizing your work and your performance!"

Renly couldn't help but laugh happily, what a lovely group of fans.
