The Greatest Showman

In the quiet and silent restaurant, there was a crisp sound. Although it was slight, it was obvious enough. Both Elizabeth and Elf raised their heads and cast their eyes in the direction of the sound, and then they saw that they were still on the table. Sliding letters. Obviously, the movement just now was the sound of someone dropping a letter.

George's brows were knitted together, and a dignified and serious expression was outlined between the bushy brows, with a hint of anger. It can be seen that he is trying to suppress, but the rude and casual movements, flipping the "Financial Times", the sound of clack betrays his inner irritability and dissatisfaction.

This is still not the end. The newspaper had just been opened, and he flipped through a few pages vigorously, without sincerity and patience, and then folded the newspaper again and threw it heavily on the dining table. Complete disregard for upbringing and etiquette at the table.

"George, pay attention to your words and deeds." Elizabeth couldn't hold back, her tone was steady but stern.

This sentence seemed to sting George's sensitive nerves, and his voice rose slightly, "My words and deeds? If it wasn't for your dissuasion, things would not have developed to this point. Now the shame has been thrown to the West End of London, now What should we do?"

The accumulation of years of upbringing has given George strong self-control, but there are always exceptions, and special topics can always challenge sensitive/sensitive nerves and release all negative emotions.

As he spoke, George's eyes widened, and he could faintly see the tense jaw, and his words became sharp, "If your words and deeds are so perfect, then tell me how we should deal with it now. , let Arthur send his little thugs, kidnap him to the Lake District, and put him in a mental hospital for a few months? Jesus Christ, Elizabeth, it's 2012, not 1912!"

George raised his hand and picked up the envelope just now. With a slight toss, the letter slipped across the mirror-smooth tabletop and landed in front of Elizabeth, "It's too late now. At least, I don't know what to do. He's just standing out there in disgrace, and we're just hiding in Bayswater, pretending nothing happened? Shame, it's a real shame!"

"Calm." Elizabeth remained unmoved, her tone was calm and cold, "With such words and deeds, with such etiquette, do you think the Duke would still be willing to entrust your management of their assets? George, you are not thirty-two years old. already."

George didn't lose his temper any more, but stared at Elizabeth coldly, waiting for Elizabeth to open the envelope, and then saw that Elizabeth's calm face changed slightly. A trace of sarcasm, waiting for Elizabeth's answer.

Elizabeth quickly scanned the content of the invitation, her left hand clenched into a fist, her manicured nails pierced into her palm, and the slight tingling made her wake up quickly, "I told you, in this drama, We should be strangled in the cradle before we start."

"How to kill it?" George also calmed down completely at this time, and the cold words did not contain a trace of fireworks, as if the emotional out-of-control just now had never happened, "John Codd, that is a hard bone, whose account is it? Don't buy it; the Almeida Theatre is a thorn, even the Prince of Wales is willing to visit, what do you think we can do? Or do you think we can convince Andre Hamilton?"

It's not that they haven't tried.

To be precise, when they met at the unveiling ceremony of Eaton Dormer's personal brand, they had already realized the urgency and seriousness of the problem. After that, the Silver Bear at the Berlin Film Festival was approaching for the first time; Good actor, this is the second time approaching; this is the third time approaching when we return to London again for the play rehearsal in the West End.

Of course they couldn't sit still and tried different things to try to kill the drama's prospects in London, but it's not going to be easy.

Both John Codd and Almeida Theater are hard to crack. On the one hand, they are single-mindedly dedicated to artistic creation, and they are not interested in intricate human connections; There are also many supporters. The Prince of Wales, also known as Prince Charles, is the Crown Prince with the longest standby time.

Most importantly, Andre is an investor in the drama. Not the Hamiltons, but Andre. Putting aside Andre's personal relationship with Renly, even pressure through the Hamiltons would be of no use—everyone knew that the Hamiltons were so indulgent in their young son that they almost let it go.

"So, you put the blame on me?" Elizabeth straightened her back and pushed back without showing weakness, "In the beginning, if you hadn't completely cut off his source of income, how could he have gone to New York? He How could there be a chance?"

For the noble children, lacking the support of the family and the support of other small partners, they may really starve to death on the streets.

George is also unwilling to take the blame. "I said at the very beginning that he should not learn the piano, nor should he learn to perform. What did you say? You told me that the new century is coming, and we need to keep pace with the times. Enter, you can't hold on to tradition. What about now? Now you see what happened?"

"Stop!" A crisp scolding sounded, stopping George and Elizabeth from accusing each other, and it was the third person in the restaurant, Alf Hall.

Even in the face of the sudden quarrel and chaos, Elf still did not panic. The obedient bun is not messy, straight and elegant

His spine was held high, and the slightly raised chin curve was like a proud white swan, white, supple, and elegant, "We are not those broken middle-class families, please pay attention to your words, deeds and attitudes."

Those middle-class family crises that appear in the movie tear each other's faces, revealing the ugliest and most real side. That's not how they handle the problem.

Elf's cold and calm words caused both George and Elizabeth to look away, but they calmed down after all. "Now that things have happened, the most important thing is to think about solutions."

The calm words concealed a condescending sternness. Not surprisingly, in the Hall family, Elf is indeed the daughter, but in front of George and Elizabeth, she has the right to speak. At least the ability to talk as equals.

George threw the napkin on the table, "I don't care. I'm not going to the premiere, I'm not going to talk about anything about it, you have to settle it with me, I don't want to hear from anyone in the workplace. Talking bad about the Halls behind your back." After that, George strode out of the restaurant.

"Sir." Philip went back and forth, saw the resolute George at the door of the restaurant, got out of the way, and said hello, but did not stop George, "Philip, prepare the car. I'll go to the bank now."

"Yes." Philip didn't argue or question, he quickly walked to the concierge, picked up the internal phone, and informed the driver to prepare the car.

In the restaurant, only Elf and Elizabeth were left.

Elizabeth rubbed her temples, but her emotions were still not completely calmed down; Elf stood up, came to Elizabeth, picked up the invitation, and read it carefully, "We must attend the premiere."

"Alf!" Elizabeth sat up straight, not even caring about her own grace, her slightly trembling voice rose, "We have to attend the premiere, why? Let him humiliate us in person? Or let others watch us What a joke? I can't believe he treated us like this, returned to the West End stage like this, and sent out invitations? So cruel!"

"You announced to the public that he was kicked out of the house, and no one thought it was cruel; similarly, he invited you to attend the premiere ceremony, and no one would think it was cruel." Elf's calm words were as if A soft knife pierced into Elizabeth's chest little by little, but as if she didn't know it, she put down the invitation letter and returned to her place.

"Mother. If Renly didn't send an invitation, it would be a real shame. All of London knew about the premiere, and they all received invitations. We were the only ones who weren't invited? What does that mean?" Alf was calm enough. It is also meticulous enough to figure out the whole thing very quickly, "Andre is a lively person, no one can be sure who he will invite to the premiere. Even so, do you still think that we don't have to attend? ?"

Elizabeth owns an art gallery. Whenever the gallery introduces a new painting or introduces a potential artist to the stage, they will hold a grand party, which is not only for sales, but also a daily social occasion for aristocrats.

Imagine that all the nobles are present and only a few are absent, which is equivalent to being excluded from the upper class circle, which is the real shame.

As Elf said, Andre is a ticking time bomb. What's more, Renly has a large group of students at Cambridge University and the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London. If the Hall family was absent from the premiere, in this battle, they would simply surrender.

After thinking about this, Elizabeth's fingers curled up again, "This is a war post! He is betting that we dare not attend!" Light, this is a battle that was doomed early on. However, Renly sent an invitation.

Elizabeth gritted her teeth.

"You and your father don't have to attend." Elf has already thought of a solution, "Let me and Arthur attend. We will leave the social entertainment to us."

Not George and Elizabeth, but Elf and Arthur, the same generation as Renly. This is undoubtedly the best, win or lose, George and Elizabeth can be invincible.

Elf looked up and saw Philip returning to the restaurant, "Philip, come with us too. I think Renly would like to see you there."

This is the eldest daughter of the Hall family, Alf Hall, elegant, calm, strategizing, and, never wrong.
