The Greatest Showman - Chapter 2054

[2018 Reality Gap]

If it is because of Sisyphus Pictures and Hall Ventures, then many things make sense. For George Hall, this is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He has never experienced such a big project and a big client so far. He is in charge of managing the trust fund of the wealthy family at Barclays Bank: on the

one hand, he can invest in Hall Ventures, win high returns through this investment, and then open up his own business situation; on the other hand, he can pass Sisyphus The film industry has allowed the British elite to connect with Hollywood, and even “win” the opportunity to get close to Renly, which is undoubtedly very attractive to the younger generation of aristocrats, elites, and political and business celebrities.

That was enough to put George and Elizabeth down.

What’s more, it’s just a blank postcard, which means it’s a test, at least they can test Renly’s attitude and reaction before making a decision.

The more Arthur thought about it, the more reasonable he felt, raised his hands and rubbed his cheeks vigorously, “God, their masks are even uglier than I thought. I used to use me to build a network of contacts, that’s okay, we can be Mutual benefit, use of each other, at least not too dirty, but what’s up with Renly? How can they do this?”

“Arthur, what are you talking about? What’s wrong with Hall Ventures?” Edith asked. I don’t know much about economy and business, and there will be no way to connect for a while, so I tapped the coffee table next to it with a bow and asked Arthur to explain.

“Simply put, the interest Renly can leverage is huge enough to make them excited. Have you seen the news about the box office numbers of ‘Interstellar’? The Times said that a dollar invested in Renly can win more than A thousand dollars in revenue, it’s just an estimate, but that’s what it means…”

Arthur rambled on, linking Sisyphus Pictures, Hall Ventures, Don Quixote, etc. , sketched out a grand blueprint, and Edith gradually understood that although it was really inappropriate to describe her parents like this, only the word “cheeky” flashed in Edith’s mind now.

Arthur probably wouldn’t object, but Arthur still held the cello habitually, and his bookish appearance seemed out of tune with the content of his words.

That look fell into Ren Li’s eyes, and he couldn’t help but let out a smile.

“Renly, is that really the case?” Edith turned her head to look at Renly, but found that Renly had a smile on the corner of her mouth, and her mood was completely relaxed, which made Edith stomped her feet angrily. “Renly! We’re worrying about you right now. What’s going on with your expression?”

“I’m just thinking that a lot has changed since I was a kid.” Renly was still unhurried. Appearance, said slowly.

What doesn’t change is,

Edith and Arthur’s performance still hasn’t improved; what has changed is that the brothers and sisters who once kept a distance are getting closer. Now Edith and Arthur, who are the real family of Renly, some people worry Someone cares, that kind of feeling is good.

But Edith looked at Renly’s unhurried look, and her temper didn’t change, “Hey! We’re serious, you better be serious too! From before to now, the same thing is that you are still so annoying. It’s like a thorn in the ass/thigh.”

“Thank you!” Renly was not only not angry, but also took the conversation, and the complacent look was so bad, the Edith people didn’t know they were standing there. Begins to grind his teeth: should she beat him?

Still should beat him!

Renly pursed the corners of his mouth, seemingly aware of Edith’s intentions, and said with a smile, “Now is a good time, I’ve been sick for so long, and after I miss it, I don’t know when the time will be, how, what? Don’t think about doing it now?”

Is Renly inviting Edith to attack?

Edith turned her head and glanced at Arthur, and then she could see that Arthur continued to express his veto with his eyes: never be deceived by Renly’s angel mask, the devil is the devil, and it hasn’t changed since childhood, okay?

Edith’s eyes widened, and she kept blinking to express her protest: If it wasn’t for today, there might never be a chance. Are you sure you shouldn’t vent your anger today?

Arthur retracted his jaw, showing a surprised expression: How are you going?

He is sick!

Edith pursed her lips and shrugged to reinforce her meaning: Don’t worry, I’m only going to remove one of his hands, it won’t be too heavy.

Renly sat next to the piano, quietly watching Edith and Arthur who winked at each other, the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but lift up. In fact, he kind of enjoyed this time.

In the last life, he was an only child and grew up alone, and because of his mother’s grand plan, he didn’t even have many friends; in this life, although he was no longer an only child, the connection between them was so thin that it was almost negligible. Regardless, he once thought that he might lose his relationship with his family in this life, and the friends of Matthew, Andre and Paul were the best support, but now it seems that time can still change some things.

Although Arthur and Edith were joining forces to complain about him, Renly found it interesting that they were in the same spirit and the same hatred.

Originally, Renly’s mood was slightly depressed because of Elizabeth’s blank postcard. He clearly understood what the postcard meant. Others saw the glory and glory of Renly, but George and Elizabeth only saw the halo. The benefits that can be brought are his father and mother, he will not be sad or painful, just a little sigh, that’s all.

There is a gap between the virtual space and the real world, just as there is a gap between life in the Hollywood spotlight and life outside the spotlight.

Now, that depressed mood gradually became clear again, because Arthur and Edith in front of him were his brother and sister.

There are always gains and losses in life, there is no need to embarrass yourself because of temporary gains and losses, and you can always find your own sunshine in every corner of your life, right?

“Renly?” Edith noticed that the effect of Renly’s illness was still very obvious, and her concentration efficiency was also reduced.

This kind of Renly has rarely been seen since childhood.

In the past, Renly always hid his vulnerability very well. Only Matthew’s group of friends could see it, but they would never know it; of course, they themselves did the same, refusing to show their vulnerability to their family members. .

This is really a kind of irony: the family that should have been a safe haven to tolerate, protect, and support themselves has turned into an empty and boring body of nothingness, so cold that people just want to escape.

They’ve known each other all their lives, but it’s only now that they really start to understand each other.

Renly raised his eyes and met Edith and Arthur’s gaze with a smile, “I just said, I don’t know when I miss this opportunity, are you sure you don’t clench your fists?”

Edith turned He rolled his eyes and complained mercilessly to Renly, “What I’m more concerned about now is why on earth did your mother send you blank postcards? Is it really because of Hall Ventures and Sisyphus Pictures? Please stay focused, we’re getting down to business, be professional, okay?”

Renly nodded with a chuckle, “Yes, no.”

“Renly-Sebastian-Hall!” Edith had already I can hear my teeth grinding.

“I want to say that you all underestimated them. To be able to let them break the deadlock first, Sisyphus Pictures and Hall Ventures are indeed important driving factors, but they are still not enough. They need more heavyweight chips. Edith , they are more greedy than you think. Or to put it another way, they are smarter than you think.”

At the end of the speech, Renly looked at Arthur who had worked with George and Elizabeth for many years. Arthur The ability and strength of the parents really can’t be understood any more.

Arthur thought about it carefully. He originally thought that Hall Ventures was enough, but when he thought about it seriously, Hall Ventures had just been established and had not yet made a profit. This cake looked beautiful but was not sure about the taste. How, to make George and Elizabeth bow to Renly, the weight is still not enough.

But Arthur captured a detail, “Father also knows about the postcard?”

Arthur had already guessed that Elizabeth’s postcard is likely to be known to George, and Arthur has expanded his ideas along this line of thinking. , But the idea is just an idea after all, and suddenly realized the authenticity, which made Arthur’s vocal cords tighten slightly, and the meaning is still different after all.

Renly raised his eyebrows, but UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com did not deny it, and Arthur and Edith exchanged glances again: If Elizabeth’s postcard represented the Hall couple, then the meaning would be completely different, even if George Without a signature, it also means that this is the decision of the Hall family. Could it be… Is the Hall family really going to “call for security” Renly?

So, George is also willing to let go, just because of Sisyphus Pictures and Hall Ventures?

After analyzing it just now, he thought he was right, but now Arthur began to question his own judgment, because this step was too sudden and too exaggerated. When it really happened, he still needed a little time to digest it properly, and he always felt that it was not a good idea. reality.

“The Queen sent a formal letter asking me if I would accept a knighthood. Philip sent the letter to Notting Hill while I was promoting the film in London; and when I arrived in Honolulu, Elizabeth’s postcard arrived, A letter from Philip told me that Elizabeth sent this postcard in George’s presence.”

Renly gave the answer, and the understatement was simply spoken, but the explosiveness of the content created a strong contrast. , so that Arthur and Edith were a little stunned.
