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 not yet experienced such a large project client. He is responsible for managing the trust funds of the wealthy family at Barclays:
On the one hand, he can invest in Hall Venture Capital, win high returns through this investment, and then open up his career; on the other hand, he can use Sisyphus Films to connect with Hollywood, and even "win" the opportunity to get close contact with Renly, which is undoubtedly very attractive to the younger generation of nobles, elites and political and business celebrities.
This was enough to let George and Elizabeth put down their figure.
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 he felt it made sense. He raised his hands and rubbed his cheeks hard. "God, their masks are even uglier than I thought. In the past, using me to build a network of contacts, that's fine. We can be considered mutually beneficial and mutually beneficial. At least it's not too dirty, but what happened to Renly? How can they do this?"
"Arthur, what are you talking about? What's wrong with Hall Venture Capital?" Edith knew very little about the economy and management, and there was no way to connect it for a while, so he knocked on the coffee table next to him with a piano bow and asked Arthur to explain.
"Simply put, the benefits that Lanli can leverage are huge enough to make them excited. Have you seen the news of the box office numbers of the 'Interstellar'? The Times said that investing Lanli can earn more than one thousand dollars in profits by investing one dollar is just an estimate, but it's the meaning..."
Arthur explained in a nagging manner, connecting Sisyphus Pictures, Hall Venture Capital, Don Quixote Channel, etc., and outlining a magnificent blueprint. Edith gradually understood that although it was really inappropriate to describe his parents like this, Edith only had the word "shameless" flashing in her mind.
Arthur probably wouldn't object, but Arthur still habitually held the cello, and his bookish look was out of place with the words. The look fell into Lan Li's eyes, and he couldn't help but smile.
"Lanli, is this really the case?" Edith turned to look at Lanli, but found that Lanli had a smile on her lips and was completely relaxed and freehand. This made Edith stomp her feet in annoyance, "Lanli! We are worried about you now, what's going on with your expression?"
"I just thought that since I was a child, there have been many things that have changed." Lan Li still looked slow and said slowly.
What remains unchanged is that Edith and Arthur's performance has not improved; what has changed is that the brothers and sisters who once kept a distance are becoming closer. Now Edith and Arthur are the real family of Renly. Some people are worried and caring. That feeling is good.
But Edith looked at Renly's calm appearance and didn't even bother to get angry, "Hey! We are serious, you'd better be serious! What remains unchanged from the past to the present is that you still hate it so much! It's like a thorn in your butt."
"Thank you!" Lan Li was not only not angry, but also took over the conversation. Her complacent look was so worthy of beating. Edith stood there and began to grind her teeth: Should she beat him? Or should she beat him!
Lan Li pursed her lips, as if she noticed Edith's intention, and said with a smile, "Now is a great time. I've been sick for so long. After missing it, I don't know when and how. Should I consider taking action now?"
Is Lanley asking Edith to attack?
Edith turned his head and looked at Arthur, and then he could see Arthur constantly expressing his veto with his eyes: Never be deceived by Lanli's angel mask. Demons are demons. They have never changed since childhood, okay?
Edith glared wide and blinked her eyes and expressed her protest: If it weren't for today, there might never be a chance. Are you sure you won't vent your anger today?
Arthur closed his jaw and showed a surprised expression: How are you going to do? He is a patient!
Edith pursed her lips and shrugged her shoulders to strengthen her meaning: Don't worry, I'm only going to take off one of his hands, and I won't do it too much.
Renly sat next to the piano, quietly looking at Edith and Arthur who were winking each other, and the curve of the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise. In fact, he was enjoying such a time.
In his previous life, he was an only child, growing up alone, and because of his mother's huge and magnificent plan, he didn't even have many friends. In this life, although he was no longer an only child, his connections with each other were almost negligible. He once thought that he might have no chance of family affection in this life. Matthew, Andre and Paul's friends were the best support, but now it seems that time can still change some things.
Although Arthur and Edith are joining forces to complain about him, the appearance of their unity and hatred of the enemy made Renly interesting.
Originally, Lanli's mood was slightly depressed because of Elizabeth's blank postcard. He clearly understood what this postcard meant. Others saw Lanli's glory and glory, while George and Elizabeth only saw the benefits that those halos could bring. This was his father and mother. He would not be sad or painful, but just a little sigh, that's all.
There is a gap between virtual space and the real world. Similarly, there is a gap between life covered by Hollywood spotlights and life outside the spotlights.
Now, the depressed mood gradually became clear again, just because Arthur and Edith in front of us are his brother and sister. There are always gains and losses in life, and there is no need to make things difficult for yourself because of temporary gains and losses. The loss is the same and the harvest is the same. You can always find your own sunshine in every corner of life, right?
"Lanli?" Edith noticed that the slightly tranced Renli was indeed very obvious. The effect of his illness was still very obvious, and his concentration efficiency was also reduced.
Such Lanli was not often seen since childhood. In the past, Lanli always hid his fragility very well, which was only visible to Matthew's friends, but they could never know; of course, they were the same, and refused to show their weaknesses in front of their families.
This is really an irony: a family that should have been tolerant, protecting and supporting themselves, but in them it has evolved into an empty and boring body of nothingness, so cold that it makes people just want to escape. They have known each other for a lifetime, but they have only begun to truly understand each other.
Renley raised his gaze and smiled at Edith and Arthur's eyes, "I just said, I don't know when I missed this opportunity. Are you sure you don't clench your fists?"
Edith rolled her eyes wide and complained about Lanley without any mercy, "What I care more about now is why my mother sent you blank postcards? Is it really because of Hall Venture Capital and Sisyphus Pictures? Please stay focused. We are talking about serious business, is it OK?"
Lan Li nodded with a chuckling, "Yes, not."
"Ranley Sebastian Hall!" Edith could already hear the sound of grinding her teeth.
"I want to say that you all underestimated them and can make them the first to break the deadlock. Sisyphus Pictures and Hall Ventures are indeed important driving factors, but the weight is still not enough. They need more heavy chips. Edith, they are even more greedy than you think. Or in other words, they are even smarter than you think."
At the end of the words, Lanley looked at Arthur and George and Elizabeth for many years. Arthur really knew his parents' abilities and strength.
Arthur thought about it carefully. He originally thought that Hall VC was enough, but when he thought about it seriously, Hall VC was just established and had not made any profit yet. This cake looked beautiful but was not sure how it tasted. He wanted George and Elizabeth to bow to Renley, but the weight was not enough.
But Arthur captured a detail, "The father knows about the postcard, too?"
Previously, Arthur had guessed that Elizabeth's postcard was likely George also knew, and Arthur had already expanded his ideas along this line of thought, but the idea was just an idea after all, and suddenly realized the authenticity, which made Arthur's vocal cords tighten slightly, and the meaning was still different after all.
Renli raised his eyebrows and did not deny it. Arthur and Edith exchanged a glance again: If Elizabeth's postcard represents the Hall couple, then the meaning would be completely different. Even if George did not sign it, it would mean that this was the decision of the Hall family. Could it be... the Hall family really wants to "recruit" Renli?
So, is George willing to let go of his figure, just because of Sisyphus Pictures and Hall Venture Capital?
I just analyzed it and felt very good, but now Arthur began to question his judgment, because this step was too sudden and exaggerated. When it really happened, he still needed a little time to digest it well, and always felt that it was not very real.
"The Queen sent a formal letter and asked me if I would accept the title. When I was promoting the film in London, Philip sent the letter to Notting Hill; when I arrived in Honolulu, Elizabeth's postcard was delivered, and Philip told me that Elizabeth was sending this postcard in front of George."
Lan Li gave the answer, and said the understatement simply, but the explosiveness of the content created a strong contrast, so that Arthur and Edith were both stunned.
