The Greatest Showman - Chapter 2053

[2017 Brazen]

“A blank postcard.”

In the early spring of March five years ago, Renly left Hall’s house and went to New York, where he started his journey of chasing his dreams on the North American continent.

Although Renly had already announced his dream and chose to take a leave of absence while studying at the University of Cambridge to study at the Royal Academy of Arts and Drama in London, disputes and repression by the Hall family have occurred intermittently over the years; but who Not expecting Renly to be so resolute, he went to New York resolutely, and then completely cut off contact, relying on his own ability to make a name on that land.

Since then, George and Elizabeth have silenced all news of Renly, the only time an ultimatum has been given and rejected, and never contacted again.

In these years of ups and downs and uproar, the two sides have fought many times in London, but they have never really contacted each other, and they seem to be strangers to each other. To maintain their dignity and decency, George and Elizabeth even pretended that nothing had happened and lived silently.

Five years later, in midsummer July, a blank postcard from Elizabeth broke the silence.

This was the first time in five years that Elizabeth had contacted Renly. Although it was just a blank postcard with no further content, the act of breaking the deadlock still counted. So, what does this mean?

Does it mean that Elizabeth finally took the initiative to put down her posture?

Does it mean that the Hall family has finally opened its arms?

Does it mean that the Hall family’s years-long stalemate is finally over?

Also, was this Elizabeth’s act alone, or did George know about it too?

If George knew, was there some turmoil in the Halls?

Or has George’s attitude changed?

If George didn’t know, what was Elizabeth’s move implying?

But none of these issues is the point, because things are not as simple as they seem.

If things are so simple and easy to understand, then the hereditary aristocracy can’t be regarded as “hereditary” and can only be regarded as “aristocracy”. Only the emerging elites and the new upstarts can so easily let go of their own frame-following the progress of the times. It is not so easy to integrate into the mainstream society or to give up self-esteem and pride.

The meaning of “hereditary” is that the posture that has been accumulated over the years is fame, glory and even more tradition. Such a posture will not be easily lost even when death comes, and it has even been tightly clamped to the throat like a yoke, but it still remains the same. Maintaining one’s own dignity is the real dignity, higher than wealth, class, status… and also, higher than life.

To the common people this is pointless folly; but to the hereditary aristocracy,

This is the meaning of their existence.

In other words, Elizabeth’s blank postcard is definitely not that simple, so what is going on?

Arthur and Edith knew their parents too well, and they realized in an instant that things weren’t that simple, and the thoughts began to churn in their minds – it

was certain that they wanted something.

Edith frowned, pulled the collar of innocent clothes irritably, scratched her head vigorously, her messy short hair became more like a bird’s nest, “Is it Elf?” She guessed, she just Flying in from London, the news about Elf was also updated, “She has officially moved out, and… she said, she has no interest in marriage, dating is fine, although she said, She’s now promoted, has more surgeries, and doesn’t even have a date…”

“You mean Elf Hall?” Arthur didn’t hide his surprise, always advertised as inheriting the honor of hereditary aristocracy Elf, how dare you declare her singleness so boldly?

Such a sharp contrast made Arthur a little unable to keep up, “Are you sure it’s the Elf we are familiar with?” The Elf who is said to be engraved by a stencil of Elizabeth?

Edith shrugged, “Who knows if it’s true or not, maybe she’s just joking.”

“Alf won’t be joking.” Renly said calmly, the corners of his mouth raised, even though he was the first He heard about Elf’s decision this time, but he was not too surprised, “You know, Elf is the most rational. She will make a rational judgment and execute it without hesitation. It was like this before, and it is like this now. .”

Renly, Arthur, and Edith did not know that at the Duke of Oxford’s banquet, there was a brief confrontation between Elf, George and Elizabeth. From then on, Elf realized that, The glory and glory that belonged to the family of “Hereditary Baron Hall” have come to an end.

Whether it was before or now, Elf has made a series of choices in order to maintain the reputation and glory of the Hall family, and has never missed it, but the difference is: in the past, this honor belonged to George Hall; Now, this honor belongs to Renly Hall, so Elf changed her strategy, but the core purpose has never changed –

those changes and breakthroughs are not for herself, but to obey Renly’s choice, let ” The children of the Hall family have their own place in various fields, and even those actions that enrich their own personality are also deliberately managed by Elf.

Of course, compared to before, Elf can stand up to herself more boldly and bravely now. This is the freedom given to her under the aura of “Renly Hall”, which can be regarded as a little additional benefit, but for Elf For Elf, it’s just the icing on the cake, not the real core soul.

Elf is still the same Elf, who is most similar to Elizabeth, but not Elizabeth – but the updated version of Elizabeth.

Thinking of this, I can’t help but feel a little creepy, but after tasting it carefully, both Arthur and Edith reacted and understood the deep meaning of Renly’s words, and those strange actions were explained, and Elf was still the same. Nothing has changed, even though the other three siblings have all made changes, she is still the only existence that adheres to the meaning and weight of the “Hall” surname.

In fact, Elf is the best successor to the hereditary baron.

After reacting, Arthur and Edith looked at Renly again with contempt.

Sure enough, the Halls who can really compete with each other are the cold-blooded animal of Elf and the paranoid freak of Renly. Although they are always tit for tat and incompatible, in fact, they are both stubborn and strong in nature. They refuse to change and refuse to change. Compromise, almost cruelly insist on their beliefs; as for their two innocent lambs, they are victims, they can only hide in a corner and tremble, really want to cry but have no tears, and have no way to ask for help.

If it was because of Elf that the Hall family became the talk of high society in London again, Elizabeth chose to bow to Renly and try to make good friends with the Hall family. After all, Elizabeth had no way to Other outsiders explained the current changes of the Hall family, as well as the changes of Elf; and, coupled with the influence of Sisyphus Films, it is even more likely.

Don’t forget one thing –

“Hall Ventures?” Arthur also remembered immediately. In March, Renly returned to London to pull capital investment for Sisyphus Films and Hall Ventures. Society took a storm:

it wasn’t until this point that the elites really realized that the Hall’s youngest son wasn’t social but disdainful, and that when Renly actually made a pose, he could be very, very convincing , in social situations, he is completely at ease, his heritage and posture are completely impeccable, and the charm revealed by his chatting and laughing is even more fascinating.

In less than three weeks, “Renly-Hall” conquered the upper class in London with his charm, and some people even joked that Renly was “the Count of Monte Cristo” – after disappearing for many years, he appeared in a mysterious identity. And conquer everyone in the upper class with his own conversation and charm, but the real purpose in his heart is… revenge.

Jokes aside, it can still be seen from the side that Renly was easily recognized by those picky nobles.

Although Hall Ventures has not announced the amount of the first round of financing, according to word of mouth, many people have expressed great interest and are willing to believe in the signboard of “Renly-Hall” and try to change The most obvious sign of his own investment direction is that Alexander Hamilton also decided to invest, and the first shot was 50 million pounds, and there may be additional investment in the follow-up, showing the courage and domineering of the Duke of Hamilton’s family.

Don’t say that Sisyphus Pictures is an investment by Andre Hamilton, UU read www.sonicmtl.com As we all know, Alexander Hamilton is the core figure of the entire Duke family. Although he has not succeeded the title of Duke for the time being, he has now mastered the Hamilton family. In all industries, his wise and calm behavior has been unanimously recognized. He will never invest arbitrarily because of Andre’s relationship. The real reason may only be that Renly persuaded him.

Fifty million pounds, that’s how Alexander sees the future of Sisyphus Pictures.

From the association of Hall Ventures to Sisyphus Pictures, and then to the special time when the global box office of “Interstellar” broke out, Arthur’s expression became slightly stiff, “Could it be because of Sisyphus Pictures? I mean, do George and Elizabeth want to get involved?”

For both George and Elizabeth, they need to find more clients—higher clients who are willing to trust them, who are willing to invest in them, and now Sisyphus Pictures And Renly-Hall has become a hot topic in London’s financial district, and if they can make the most of this network, the gain is definitely not a little bit, but more importantly, such a huge income and such a significant network , enough to make George and Elizabeth drop their stature.

If that’s the case, then it’s really… cheeky!
