Richard Deville, Earl of Oxford, decided to leave London.

The day after the grand private party ended, he packed up his bags and prepared for a long journey, even giving up the "Les Miserables" anniversary event that was about to kick off.

This really broke through countless glasses.

You know, the reason why the party is so grand is largely because "Les Miserables" staged its first anniversary; now, the Earl of Oxford has decided to abandon all commemorations and go away? Every detail of the matter is permeated with gossip and confusion.

Especially at the party last night, the thrilling and deafening song that sang loudly, in less than twelve hours, has spread throughout the upper class of London, and everyone can't wait to join the discussion. Now, as the host, Richard has chosen to leave. Did he express his dissatisfaction with Lan Li in this way? Or did you choose to escape because of shame?

For a time, the noise was very strong.

All kinds of gossip began to spread rapidly, like sparks of fire.

For example, Viscount John De Bioford was furious at the party, even yelling and fighting, the scene was extremely ugly, and later it was even more talkative, and the matter was endless.

For example, Lan Li tried/seduce/led/Princess Beatrice in private, and the Duke of Cambridge tried to stop it, and the words were rather ugly.

For example, the youngest son of the Hamilton family, who originally had a personal friend with Lan Li, tore his face after the party, and the youngest son of the Domer family and the youngest son of the Dunlop family were also involved.

For another example, Hollywood actors can't make it to the stage after all. Renly, like a circus performer, was humiliated in the public, and George and Elizabeth lost their faces.

And so on.

Never underestimate the power of gossip, even the nobles.

In fact, many times, the upper class wears tinted glasses and sits on the sidelines. After strong class discrimination, the gossip they spread becomes more vicious and cruel. Often a little bit of gossip is enough to make people unable to turn around, even Destroy the reputation of a family.

But the gossip did not spread for too long. Before going to the port of Liverpool, Richard met another countess and they started a conversation.

During the conversation, Richard was overflowing with love and support for Lan Li.

"I know how people think of actors, but I didn't expect their eyes to be so sharp and so terrifying. Undoubtedly, Renley is a great actor, but more importantly, he has a noble and pure soul. ."

"After I watched his performance, I just felt my insignificance and humbleness, tears streaming down my face, and embarrassed. Compared to him, I was not worth mentioning. I need to calm down, leave here, leave that one. With a horrible and distorted face, God, I now finally understand why Lan Li chose to leave London instead of staying in the West End. It’s really horrible here."

"too frightening."

Richard repeated this sentence three times.

What he fears, what he avoids, what he rejects is not Lan Li, but the so-called nobles.

These words, like a slap in the face, slammed on the faces of those gossips, and every face that was spreading those vain gossips became embarrassed and embarrassed. Almost in less than a day, everyone closed their mouths firmly, lest they become the "horrible and distorted" faces in Richard's words.

The truth gradually began to spread by word of mouth.

"This is me (this-is-me)."

At the private party, Lan Li performed a piece of music, but he did not become the object of humiliation. On the contrary, those scornful, repulsive, discriminatory, playful, and disdainful eyes began to become selfless. The noble and arrogant masks gradually started to get hot.

The truth about Lan Li becoming an actor, the suppression of George and Elizabeth, the indifference of the Hall family, the jokes about the upper class...

All of it gradually began to spread, and the original appearance of the matter was completely exposed to everyone's sight.

The nobles are not fools, they just choose to be fools, cover their ears, filter the facts, pretend that they can’t see filth and ills, pretend that they can’t see decay and darkness, and try their best to keep each other safe, stable and stable. Maintaining his own face and dignity, maintaining the perfection of life.

But this time, Lan Li left no room for them.

He not only performed on stage at a private party, but also sang a song "This is me", severely tore off everyone's hypocritical masks, completely dismantled the illusion of peace in the world, and stood upright in the sun. , Strongly declared his sense of existence——

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

Maybe he is not the template impression of the traditional aristocracy, but he still maintains the elegance and calmness of the aristocracy, and in the field of art, with his own efforts and his own strength, he has won a place. Those applauses, cheers and praises are all He deserves it. He is more worthy of respect and respect than most self-proclaimed noble fellows.

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

This lyric, shocking and deafening, is a catharsis to George and Elizabeth, and at the same time a shout to the upper class as a whole.

From the Almeida Theatre version of "The Miserable World" 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 aftermath of the party, the ripples are just like this Slowly rippling away, but gradually getting stronger and stronger, one stone stirred up a thousand waves and swept across the upper class society.

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

This is the case in every era. Some people are eager to stick to tradition, refuse to change, refuse to advance, and refuse to compromise. Anything that destroys tradition is bound to be severely hit, especially the ruling class. They are often representatives of tradition, fearing their own advantages. Was slowly eaten away, and finally lost his initiative.

Some people 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 new world on the basis of tradition, step by step toward a broader world and world, represented by young people. Always hope to be able to take over control and create an era of its own.

This time is no exception.

For the traditionalists, with a blue gift, it is very likely that a large number of "blue gifts" will appear next, and then the aristocratic tradition will no longer exist; for the reformists, the blue gift has already appeared. The wheel of history has moved forward unstoppably. Instead of stopping, it is better to embrace and face a new era calmly.

History is always similar.

Human beings always emphasize that history is a mirror, three times a day, and every effort is made to avoid repeating the same mistakes, but the course of history is always repeated, time and time again, similar and even the same plots are always staged tirelessly. Only when the moment of crisis that is neither broken nor standing really comes, can we wake up.

The discussion has become more and more intense, sharper, and more lively, and it has almost become the hottest topic in the upper class of London.

In the past year, with the strong rise of "Les Miserables" and sweeping the army, people seem to have accepted the existence of Lan Li, which is an objective fact and responded with curiosity, but this is just a lively illusion. Just like the party of the Earl of Oxford, it looks lively and vigorous on the surface, but in its bones it is still the mentality of a circus onlookers.

Now, all the true colors have exploded.

Seeing that the excitement became more and more intense, it was out of control, but the turning point appeared.

When Matthew Dunlop went to the London High Kensington District Court to do business, he met his colleagues in the court hall. They accidentally talked about the matter. They asked Matthew's opinion. Unexpectedly, Matthew didn't care and said lightly. , "I don't care too much. Because these are meaningless to Lan Li."

This……

In an instant, everyone’s memory came back, just like the song sung in the song "This is me"~www.novelhall.com~ This is Lan Li, no matter how others criticize, no matter how others reject them, no matter how others are. Resist, but this is the real him, and everything has happened and is happening—

He has become a top actor who is famous all over the world, and he is also making his own history.

So, what does the attitude of the upper class have to do with it? Against? stand by? protest? disdain? Exclusion? All of this cannot harm Lan Li, nor can it change Lan Li.

It's that simple.

After answering the questions, Matthew still looked calm, then smiled and said goodbye, "I still need to meet the judge and talk another day." As if it was just the topic of "Today's sun is good".

This is another slap in the face—what you care about, but he never cares, or in other words, he cares about it, and now he has moved forward.

This was the hardest punch, hitting the stomachs of those self-proclaimed noble lords so hard that they could hardly speak.

The controversy continued, but the heat was obviously not as good as before, and gradually, gradually calmed down. Inadvertently, the facts were confirmed in this way, and they had no way to change whether they accepted it or not. This is the result.

As Matthew said, those prejudices and viewpoints are meaningless to Renly, and are not important at all. After the song at the party, he really waved goodbye, before others understood. He has already left.

This time, Renly’s destination is Cannes, a small city on the French Riviera in southern France, but every May of the year becomes noisy because of movies. This is also true this year.
