Chapter 1283

Richard de Ville, the Earl of Oxford, decided to leave London.

The day after the grand private party, he packed up and prepared for a long journey, even giving up the upcoming anniversary of "les miserables".

This really broke countless glasses.

You know, most of the reason why the party is so grand is because of the first anniversary of "les miserables"; Now, the Earl of Oxford has decided to give up all commemorative activities and go far away? Every detail is full of gossip and confusion.

Especially at the party last night, the thrilling and enlightening song had been spread all over London in less than 12 hours, and everyone could not wait to join the discussion. Now, Richard, as the host, has chosen to leave. Is he expressing his dissatisfaction with Lan Li in this way? Or do you choose to run away because of shame?

For a moment, there was a lot of noise.

All kinds of gossip began to spread rapidly, just like a spark.

For example, viscount John de Beaufort was furious at the party, even yelling and fighting. The scene was extremely ugly. Later, it was even said that the matter was endless.

For example, when Langley tried to seduce Princess Beatrice in private, the Duke of Cambridge stopped her, and the words were rather ugly.

For example, Hamilton's youngest son, who used to be a private friend with Langley, broke his face after the party. Domer's youngest son and Dunlop's youngest son were also involved.

For another example, Hollywood actors can't make it to the stage after all. Like circus actors, Langley is humiliated in public, and George and Elizabeth lose face.

and so on.

Never underestimate the power of gossip, even the nobility.

In fact, most of the time, after the upper class look on coldly with colored glasses and strong class discrimination, the gossip they spread is more vicious and vicious. Often, a little gossip is enough to make people unable to turn over, or even destroy the reputation of a family.

But the gossip didn't spread for long. Before going to the port of Liverpool, Richard met another Countess and they had a conversation.

In the conversation, Richard was full of love and support for Langley.

"I know how people look at actors, but I didn't expect their eyes to be so sharp and terrifying. There is no doubt that Langley is a great actor, but more importantly, he has a noble and pure soul

"When I watched his performance, I just felt small and humble, tearful and embarrassed. Compared with him, I am not worth mentioning at all. I need to calm down, get out of here, get out of those horrible and twisted faces. God, I finally understand why Langley chose to leave London instead of stay in the west end. It's really terrible here. "

"It's terrible."

Richard repeated it three times.

What he was afraid of, what he escaped from, what he rejected, was not Lan Li, but the so-called nobles.

This remark, like a slap in the face, was severely thrown on the face of those gossips. Everyone who was spreading those false gossip became embarrassed and embarrassed. Almost just in less than a day, all of them closed their mouths firmly, lest they would become the "terrible and distorted" faces in Richard's words.

The truth gradually began to spread from mouth to mouth.

"This is me."

At the private party, lanli performed a piece of music, but he did not become the object of humiliation. On the contrary, those disdainful, repulsive, discriminative, playful and disdainful eyes began to become shameless, and the noble and arrogant masks began to burn.

About the truth that Langley became an actor, about the oppression of George and Elizabeth, about the apathy of the hall family, about the jokes of the upper class

All of them gradually began to spread, and the original appearance of the matter was also completely exposed in the public eye.

The nobles are not fools, they just choose to be fools, cover their ears, filter the facts, pretend that they can't see dirty and malady, rot and darkness, try their best to keep each other at peace, maintain their face and dignity smoothly, and maintain the perfection of life.

But this time, Langley didn't leave them room.

He not only performed on the stage at a private party, but also sang a song "this is me", tearing off all people's false masks, thoroughly exposing the illusion of world peace, standing upright in the sun, strongly declaring his sense of existence——

He is not an object of curiosity, entertainment, discussion, ridicule and banter. He is a real person. He's an actor, a real actor.

Maybe he is not the model impression of the traditional aristocracy, but he still maintains the elegance and calm of the aristocracy, and in the field of art, with his own efforts and strength, he has won a place, those applause, those cheers, those praise, all of which he deserves. He deserves more respect and respect than most of the guys who call themselves aristocrats.

"I know I deserve to be loved, there's nothing I don't deserve!"

This lyrics, enlightening, is the vent to George and Elizabeth, but also to the whole upper class society.

From the Almeida theater version of "les miserables" to the potential of egot; From the support of the London Theatre Association to the appreciation of the Earl of Oxford; From the voice of "this is me" to the aftertaste after the party, the ripples gradually began to ripple, but gradually became more and more intense. A stone stirred up a thousand waves and swept the whole upper class society.

Just like the repeated moments in history, the tit for tat between reformers and conservatives once again became the main theme.

This is true in every era. Some people are eager to adhere to the tradition, refuse to change, refuse to move forward, and refuse to compromise. Anything that destroys the tradition is bound to encounter a severe blow, especially the ruling class. They are often representatives of the tradition, fearing that their advantages will be slowly eroded, and eventually lose their initiative.

Others are eager to innovate and change, keep pace with the times, bring forth the new, seek common ground while reserving differences, and open up a brand new world on the basis of tradition, step by step to a broader world. Represented by young people, they always hope to be able to take control and create their own era.

This time is no exception.

For the traditionalists, with a blue rite, there will probably be a large number of "blue rites" in the future, and then the aristocratic tradition will no longer exist; For the reformers, lanli has appeared, and the wheel of history has been unstoppable. It's better to embrace a new era than to stop it.

History is always similar.

Human beings always emphasize that we should take history as a mirror, think about it three times a day, and try our best to avoid repeating mistakes. However, the process of history is always repeated, and the similar and even the same plots are always performed over and over again. Only when the time of crisis comes can we wake up.

The discussion is becoming more and more intense, more and more sharp, more and more lively. It has almost become the hottest topic in the upper class of London.

In the past year, with the strong rise and destruction of "les miserables", people seem to have accepted the existence of Langley. That is an objective fact and they are curious about it. However, it is just a noisy illusion, just like the Party of the Earl of Oxford, which seems to be lively and vigorous on the surface, But it's still a circus mentality.

Now, the truth is all out.

As the excitement grew stronger and stronger, the turning point appeared.

When Matthew Dunlop went to London's high Kensington District Court for business, he met his colleagues in the court hall and unexpectedly talked about it. They asked Matthew about it. Unexpectedly, Matthew was indifferent and said lightly, "I don't care much. Because it doesn't make any sense to lanli. "

This

In a flash, everyone's memory came back, just like the song "this is me". This is lanli. No matter how others criticize him, no matter how they reject him, no matter how they resist him, this is the most real him, and everything has happened and is happening——

He has become a world famous top actor and is making his own history.

So what does the attitude of the upper class matter? opposition? support? protest? Scorn? Exclusion? None of this can hurt or change Lan Li.

It's so simple.

After answering the question, Matthew remained calm, and then left with a smile. "I still need to meet the judge and talk to him another day." As if just now is "the sun is good today" chat topic general.

It's another slap in the face - what you care about, he never cares, or he cares, and now he's moving forward.

This is the most severe blow. It hit those noble men's stomach hard, and the pain was almost speechless.

The controversy is still going on, but the heat is obviously not as good as before, and gradually, gradually, gradually subsided. Inadvertently, the fact is so determined, whether they accept it or not, they have no way to change it. This is the result.

As Matthew said, those eyes, those views, those prejudices are meaningless and unimportant to lanli. After the song on the party, he really waves goodbye, and he has gone away before others understand it.

This time, Langley's destination is Cannes, a small town on the blue coast of southern France, but every May is noisy because of movies. This year, too.
