The Greatest Showman

Remember in one second [End of the God Station] Mobile phone user input address: m.xinwanben.com

In less than two months, Renly returned to London again, but without the expected bumps and turbulence, his life was calm like this, a phenomenon that had never appeared in memory.

Elizabeth didn't show up to Renly, she had declared "independence" - not a divorce, because Catholicism still doesn't support divorce, but she was running the gallery on her own.

No words or excuses were needed, Elizabeth's actions and gestures were enough, and all the signs were showing that it was George who expelled Renly from the house and had nothing to do with Elizabeth. Of course, Elizabeth was not innocent, and her mistake was to stand by in silence - like the mistress of all aristocratic families, which seems to have been a centuries-old tradition of British aristocracy.

More importantly, Renly, the brand-new core of the "Hall Family", did not release any rumors. Since the auction, he has fallen into silence, which is undoubtedly a key signal.

There was a time when someone tentatively went to Elizabeth's gallery, and then carefully inquired about the news, but did not hear any opinion from the prince-garden, which also gradually reassured everyone, which means that at least Renly was not prepared. Destroy Elizabeth.

By the way, Renly's Kensington-Chelsea mansion is right next to Princes Gardens, and it's only a ten-minute walk from Knightsbridge, where Renly's former apartment was located.

Among the nobles, a family can often own multiple mansions for different purposes. For example, "Next weekend, I'm going to Windermere for vacation", referring to my upcoming vacation to my villa in the Lake District; for example, "I'm going back to Knightsbridge tonight", indicating that I will not return to the main house; for example, , "Your father is in Notting Hill", to describe the head of the family in a third person's mansion and choose not to return home at night.

Nobles seldom choose to be outspoken, always beating around the bush, always dodging, always accusing Sang and scolding Huai, even if the husband and wife choose to separate, they will not directly mention the matter of "separation", but say, " He's all in Manchester now and she's basically in Westminster."

A city, a region, a neighborhood, a landmark, these names will become referents and have symbolic meanings. It is precisely because of this that Renly's mansion is now called "Prince's Garden", which means that the core area of ​​the Hall family has been transferred from Bayswater to Prince's Garden.

It's a quiet shift, but a crucial one.

The Prince's Garden did not "ban" Elizabeth, and similarly, the Prince's Garden did not "ban" George.

George still worked at Barclays Bank, and as a hereditary baron, he still had a strong reputation among the traditional aristocracy-those people were followers of traditional culture, they could not accept Renly as an actor, nor could Renly rebel against his parents, Couldn't even accept Elizabeth's "independence". They stood firm on George's side, and this was an important support for George's foothold in social situations.

It's just that the assets they hold are relatively fixed and relatively stable. They have had their own fund managers early on, and it is obviously not that easy to change things. What's more, they are a group that refuses to change. Even if they can change, they will Actively refuse.

At the same time, they cannot represent the future development, nor can they represent the younger generation, their hands and feet are bound by their rotten thoughts, it is difficult to create new wealth, and it is difficult to accept the changes of the times and emerging industries, which limit George's development space. It is difficult to find a breakthrough at the career level.

It can be said that it is not a problem for George to retain his decency and fame;

The social occasions of those new types of nobles no longer have George's place, but he can still immerse himself in the past glory and enjoy the privileges of nobles.

So George can still go to the bank, he can still go to the club, he can still go to certain parties without any hindrance. Even if Renly made a move, there was no way to stop it—because this was a circle that Renly could not interfere with, let alone Renly was not prepared to stop it.

In the past two months, George has kept a low profile, his whereabouts and figure are far less conspicuous than Elizabeth's, but he still hasn't disappeared.

This time Renly returned to London, George also kept quiet, neither appeared nor appeared, everything was calm.

Without George and Elizabeth, and without news of Elf, Renly's return to London was just as normal.

For five years, the shadow of George and Elizabeth over Renly's head seems to have finally vanished, and it can no longer affect Renly. Renly does not need to worry or consider the constraints of family; at the same time, London is finally showing. Renly looked familiar, those dark clouds, those drizzle, those cold all exuded the smell of home, and everything went according to Renly's pace.

After Yorgos Lanthimos bid farewell to Renly, he began to retreat and revise the script. He still hoped to think clearly about the plot context and framework before the official start of filming-in the final analysis, he was not the kind of on-the-spot play and inspiration If it weren't for special circumstances this time, he would not have chosen the method of "writing while shooting"; now he is doing his best to complete more preparations.

Meanwhile, Renly is learning to enjoy London.

Since this life, Renly has never really calmed down and enjoyed the city. Because of the entanglements from his family and driven by his dream as an actor, he has always tried his best.

Running vigorously, without the opportunity to slow down to appreciate the charm of the city, the gloom and cold of London are deeply imprinted in his blood. Although this is his homeland, it is so unfamiliar.

When he returned to London in September, Renly had the opportunity to browse the city like a tourist, capturing the history and culture of the city at a glance, and the short vacation made him immersed in relaxation; now, Renly is Start learning to integrate into the city like a local.

Not afternoon tea or a double-decker bus, but a day in the "rough-trade" shopping for second-hand vinyl records of your choice; Brew a beer and watch a football match on the TV screen and talk; or sneak into a Luna open-air cinema after nightfall and watch a black-and-white movie under the night and the stars.

And, of course, Renly's favorite thing to do: exploring the treasure hunt in the second-hand bookstore area of ​​Charing Cross.

If Renly was asked to count the most wonderful things to do in London, music, theatre, graffiti, bars and so on could all be shortlisted, while books would undoubtedly be the best.

In those used bookstores, you can find bookstores specializing in selling different versions of "Alice in Wonderland" from different eras, and bookstores specializing in 20th century paperback suspense novels. Here you can not only find a variety of Books, but also can meet all kinds of book lovers.

Almost every bookstore has its own gathering for book collectors, and every gathering has its doors open to all enthusiasts.

Renly once came across a collection of brochures that British publishers sent to bookstores before new books were published. The booklet is generally the same size, layout, paper, and printing font as the book to be published. A brief introduction of more than ten pages allows the bookstore owner to make a preview, and finally decide the order quantity from the publishing house according to his own situation.

The collector called the pamphlets, "Conversations between publishers and bookshop owners," and the one that most impressed Renly was a 1929 copy of the 1929 edition of London's Model Press to South Somerset "Whit" than the advertisement booklet sent by the Father and Son Bookstore.

Paragon, founded in 1922, is known for publishing a full twenty-four-volume collection of Dickens's works, a sackcloth-covered, gold-on-black set of books that countless collectors can only dream of; but that ad booklet was not meant to recommend a particular book. Books, but Paradigm Publisher's annual review and outlook for the year ahead.

The pamphlet, called "Bodkin's Kaien," satirized the British Attorney General Archibald-Bodkin, who was famous at the time for banning books such as "Ulysses" and "The Well of Loneliness." The booklet also asks about some order requests from the bookstore, and we look forward to getting a reply as soon as possible.

In this nearly 100-year-old handbook, there are only four telephone numbers in London, and the writing on the letter paper has become blurred; but today, in the era of such advanced communications as mail and mobile phones, such publishers and bookstores The owner's pamphlet for continuous communication remains unchanged.

It's like the Royal Mail of the United Kingdom.

Someone asked, what is the difference between London and New York? What is the difference between Europe and North America? How the cultural heritage and historical connotation are presented, these pamphlets, these book collectors, and these used bookstores are the evidence, and people always get lost in time without knowing it.

This is the charm of London - sometimes, when you step in the dust and time of an old bookstore, you can't help but look back at the haze and drizzle outside the window, and then start to learn to feel the dampness and coldness, which can be regarded as an accident Harvest?

Renly needs this time to calm down, to have a little time with himself, to temporarily put aside the helplessness and harm caused by those prejudices, to wander freely in the light and shadow of time and memories, and then rely on Discover the beauty of London with your own feet and eyes, just like in New York.

In those days, Renly would forget George and Elizabeth for a while, the aristocracy for a while, acting and dreaming for a while, just simply wandering and relaxing in search of the purest and simplest pleasures, climbing and surfing, reading and beer in this way.
