The Greatest Showman - Chapter 2058

[2022 Children’s Steps]

“You are going to refuse to accept the award, is it also partly because of the Commander’s Medal?” Arthur suddenly remembered a potential possibility, half ranting and half joking.

Renly chuckled lightly, “I can’t deny it.” The honest answer made Edith and Arthur both laugh helplessly, “What I want to say is, I don’t care anyway, yes or no, come to me Saying there is no difference, George and Elizabeth can’t change my thoughts and decisions, but if you must be honored, why not make your dream bigger?”

“You mean, if it must be full of copper stench. If so, then why not make the envious and jealous eyes around you more violent?” Edith said.

Renly pursed the corners of his mouth and nodded calmly, “I don’t mind saying that.”

Arthur’s smile rose along with Renly, “Listen to this tone, it seems that the Order of Merit Commander can’t satisfy your ambitions either. , so what are you aiming for? The Grand Cross of Knighthood? No one in the entertainment industry has ever received such a medal.”

“Arthur.” Renly shook his head in disappointment, “Dream bigger! If Your vision can only go so far, then I will start to doubt the future prospects of Sisyphus Pictures.”

Edith laughed, “Arthur, you are despised.”

Arthur did not Discouraged, I thought about it seriously, “Is it an Order of Honor?” This is a type of non-knightly order. Although it does not come with any title, its honorary status is somewhat detached. At present, only three actors in the world have won such an order. Maggie Smith, Judy Dandy and Ian McLean.

Seeing that Renly was still smiling, Edith couldn’t help but guess, “Renly, you’re not aiming for the Order of the Garter, are you?”

The highest level of the Order of the Knight, currently all twenty-four members are from the royal family. , and only two non-royal members in history are former prime ministers.

From a principled point of view, only those who have made significant contributions to the country and the two former prime ministers are important figures who led the country’s re-emergence in a special period. This can be awarded. The Queen will bypass all the review procedures and directly award it to the parties.

More importantly, the Order of the Garter stipulates that it can only be awarded to a maximum of 24 people, unless someone dies and the position is vacated, then it can be awarded to new candidates again.

If Renly had targeted the Medal of the Garter, it would have been… astonishing.

Even George and Elizabeth probably did not delusional about the Order of the Garter.

After Edith made her guess, she was the first to laugh. She was just joking, but then she saw Renly showing a calm smile. The calm demeanor made Edith stunned.

Immediately, she opened her mouth in surprise, and the foul language almost came out, but this time she controlled it, covered her mouth with her hands, and couldn’t help but say, “God, you’re a lunatic.”

Renly No denial but no acknowledgment, “For me, there’s no difference, and I didn’t choose to accept it; but if it must be accepted, why not choose the one that produces the greatest effect? At least, you care, don’t you? As for whether it can be achieved, what does it matter?”

Renly didn’t expect to achieve it anyway, and he won’t try hard to make it happen, so if that’s the case, it’s better to set a very high goal and treat it as a decoration. Putting the ground there, it can have a deterrent effect, which seems to be an option.

Edith and Arthur exchanged glances, and then Edith couldn’t help but burst into laughter, because it was too unexpected, too shocking, and too absurd, so she couldn’t help laughing out loud, ” Although you are a lunatic, I think such lunatics are quite cute.”

“Thank you for the compliment.” Lan Hall accepted the “compliment” in a dignified manner.

Arthur couldn’t help but gear up, “Renly, can you wait until I fly back to London before refusing to accept the award? I want to watch the subsequent uproar up close. This year’s celebrity gossip all over London is just waiting. You’re in full force.”

At this time, a year ago, Renly won the Oliver Award, and then the Duke of Oxford’s banquet became the biggest focus, the discussion continued for a long time, and now all the noise has calmed down, it is time for Lan Eli once again made a round of hot spots.

Arthur couldn’t help but start to make up for the astonishment and surprise of those high-ranking celebrities, and his expression became cheerful.

But gradually, gradually, Arthur faintly sensed something was wrong. It seemed that a sharp line of sight was approaching little by little like the edge of a dagger. He raised his head and noticed Edith’s gloating expression, and the smile was so stiff At the corner of his mouth, he realized after a long delay:

Did you just use Renly as a means of consumption?

Moreover, he also said it directly?

“…Edith, why did you make a special trip to Honolulu?” Arthur tried his best to remain calm, and changed the subject lightly, pretending that nothing happened just now, “Don’t say that you made a special trip to Renly came here, you know we won’t believe this kind of lie; what’s more, be careful that Chris also directly kills Honolulu, and then the paparazzi will hear the news.”

Edith’s face was full of confusion, obviously Unexpectedly, Arthur used her as a shield, and also complained about Chris Evans, which made her chin slightly raised, showing a look of contempt.

However, Edith’s deterrent power was not comparable to Renly’s, Arthur didn’t care at all, raised his chest and looked back, not to be outdone, and confronted him head-on.

Renly chuckled, “Although it’s very interesting to appreciate the fighting spirit of the two little friends, but I’m a little sleepy right now. If you guys aren’t ready to take the chance, I’ll go to rest. By the way, I’ll be there tomorrow. We

have officially returned to the crew, and there may be no free time for the next period of time.” The

subtext is: I know that neither of you are here simply to visit a doctor. If you have something to say, say it now, otherwise, if you miss it, there will be no chance.

Arthur immediately protested aggrieved, “Renly, how can you see us like this? I know we may not have been that close in the past, but last time we were on Oscar night, we reconciled, didn’t we? I Having shown you the most vulnerable side of yourself, now that we are real brothers, how can you question my concern?”

Renly didn’t speak, just cast a glance at Arthur.

Arthur raised his hand in surrender, muttering in a low voice, “Okay, don’t stare at me with that look every time, people who don’t know think you’re interested in me.”

“What?” Edith caught When he arrived at some key words, he blinked and looked at Arthur with an expression of complaining and powerless.

Arthur was furious and glared at Edith, “Are you sure you want to continue fighting with me?” Shouldn’t the two of them join forces to deal with Renly?

Edith expressed strong doubts: the two of them did not seem to be Renly’s opponents when they joined forces. What should I do?

But in the end Edith kept her mouth shut, and Arthur turned to look at Renly, “The thing is, the reorganization of the crack has encountered some problems, obviously, the work of building an online video platform is more complicated than We need some help now.”

Whether it’s Arthur and Edith, or Renly, they’re not good at expressing their emotions, especially with the Hall family, because they have grown up since childhood. The sense of restraint is too serious, and it cannot be changed overnight. Even Edith has no way to express her concerns about Renly as generously as an ordinary family. Similarly, there is no way for Renly to calm down. accept this concern.

In short, both sides are a little awkward.

Arthur and Edith were very worried when they heard that Renly was ill, but no matter how worried and intimate they were, they would not impulsively fly directly to Honolulu to visit Renly. It was too dramatic and emotional. , completely inconsistent with the habits and characteristics of aristocratic families.

The best way might be an email, a letterhead, or a text message, but it’s not too exaggerated.

Now that Edith and Arthur have appeared in Honolulu one after another, the best explanation may be the only explanation is that something else happened, maybe it wasn’t urgent and important enough to have a conversation back then, but they took advantage of it An excuse appeared in front of Renly.

The emotional expression of the nobles is indeed a bit awkward. They are all learning, just like children, but at least they are now willing to try to open their hearts.

That’s what Arthur is talking about now, and it could have been resolved through a conference call, but he’s still here.

“Andre and I think… uh…” Arthur hesitated for a while, he met Renly’s gaze, and after receiving the affirmation of Renly, he said, “Did Matthew come here specifically to donate? Working on the Hetero Channel, or coming to Sisyphus Pictures to lead the entire copyright department.”

Renly raised his eyebrows slightly.

“We need a legal department, whether it’s working with Sundance or Sony Pictures, as well as establishing distribution channels in the future, etc., related copyright and contract discussions, we need our own dedicated legal department. We now We have three lawyers, but the workload still cannot keep up. What we need is a complete department. Originally, we wanted to ask Matthew to recommend some elites in the industry, but the prices of those elites were too high, and, They all have their own law firms, at least senior partners, and it’s hard for us to attract them. So, we wondered if we could get Matthew over there.”

It was a tricky one.

But Renly didn’t hesitate, “I’ll ask Matthew to recommend a list of candidates. As for Matthew, you and Andre shouldn’t be delusional, let him go.”

Arthur opened his mouth, wanting more Fighting for a bit, but seeing Renly shaking his head firmly, “Arthur, becoming a royal lawyer is Matthew’s dream, and I support his dream, so this matter is impossible. Matthew’s talent should be standing in Go to court, not sit in your office and deal with the jackals on Wall Street.”
