British 1986

Even if she was angry again, now that she was in Great Britain and this was not the United States, Oprah could only smile and nodded, agreeing to Ceylon's arrangement.

It was the first time I came to Wales. Since the motorcade left London, Oprah directed the photographers to take pictures of the scenery on the road as much as possible.

Although her "Oprah Show" is an interview program, its original model is to invite guests to the studio and sit down for interviews.

But the person I want to interview today has a special status. Do you want to invite him over?

That was unthinkable. When she first expressed her willingness to be interviewed, she was not even willing to talk to her.

After the convoy entered Wales, the style of the entire road felt a little different from that in England.

At least there are a lot of vehicles on the road in England, and the various small towns along the road are also very lively.

But within Wales it feels like paradise.

There were few cars on the road, and the road conditions were average.

It feels like going to the countryside.

It was a somewhat bumpy ride on the Welsh countryside, and it wasn't until 1:30 in the afternoon that the convoy arrived at its destination - the gate of the Earl's manor.

Oprah, who grew up in the United States, has not seen many ancient manors, but along the way, she has seen dozens of dilapidated manor castles that have not been restored.

This was her first impression of Wales. It was indeed known as the land of a thousand forts, with fortresses everywhere.

However, most of these fortresses have been in disrepair for a long time, and there is a huge gap between them and the fortress in front of them that can be normally inhabited.

From this distance, Oprah truly experienced what it means to have a sense of history.

The motorcade stopped at the gate of the manor. There were a few older security guards, a few strong bodyguards, and even a hound that looked like an explosion-detecting dog, sniffing every car.

All vehicles are carefully inspected.

Ceylon got off the car and stood at the door of the manor, chatting with Oprah all the time, glancing into the manor from time to time.

Compared to Oprah, who looked like a country bumpkin, although Ceylan had never been to this manor, she had seen many manors, exquisite, gorgeous, and beautiful, but today she was so pure , retro manor, this was her first time seeing it.

The gate of the manor is not facing the hall of the building inside. Standing at the gate and looking in, you can only see the general style and layout of the building inside from a distance, but nothing else.

"Madam, please go in first. Madam, you have to wait for a while. We have to call to verify your ID and this."

The tall and muscular bodyguard held a lot of documents and health certificates in his hands. He handed her the Ceylon certificate and indicated that she could go in first. As for Americans like Oprah...

Then you have to wait until they finish the phone call to verify your identity again.

"伱"

Oprah had her right hand on her hips and was about to raise it when the bodyguard opposite her, who looked calm just now, instantly touched her waist with her left hand and stared at her warily.

"Oprah, Oprah! Don't be impulsive."

Ceylon took a rare moment to stand next to Oprah and offer words of advice.

This group of people have been in the United States for a long time, and their minds seem to be a little uncomfortable. They think that as a program host, they must be popular wherever they go. This is not a chaotic place like the United States.

Making trouble at the gate of the manor of a hereditary earl

All I can say is that people in the United States, no matter what color they are, seem to be crazy. They really don’t know how high the world is.

"Watch your words and actions ma'am."

The bodyguard looked at Ceylan's actions, pointed at Oprah, gave a stiff warning, and turned around to verify the ID.

"Is anyone here?"

As Allen walked, he moved his right hand and adjusted the cuffs of his shirt a little.

The old-fashioned traditional white satin shirt has a completely different style from the modern cotton shirt. This kind of shirt is more close-fitting and has extremely soft fabric, which can better set off the muscle lines of men. In addition, Allen's body is already strong.

On both sides of the center line of the shirt on the chest, there are two pieces of lily lace decorative fabric connected to the collar.

A pair of dark trousers, this is what Allen is wearing today.

Theoretically, it would be perfect to wear a tuxedo cardigan jacket outside, but it’s July and it’s so hot to wear this at home!

I simply left off my coat and only wore my shirt.

"Master, he has been brought to the drawing room No. 6."

"Number six?"

Allen frowned slightly. He had no impression of this room. He followed the servant down to the first floor and walked towards the right side.

Throughout the entire manor, in addition to the right dining room, reception room, and conference room, many places on the first floor are office areas. Patrice and Siphis have their own small offices.

In addition to these, there are also living rooms of different sizes and styles suitable for different scenes.

The area above the second floor is the living area, with rooms for servants. Hu Te and the others also live on this floor.

The entire manor building has been renovated into hundreds of rooms, large and small.

Allen might not go to some rooms once in a year or two, so when he heard someone mention the drawing room No. 6, he had no impression at all.

Allen didn't raise his eyebrows until he walked into the living room. The decoration here was quite forward-looking.

This living room is probably rarely used and is convenient for shooting. The whole living room is only about seventy or eighty square meters. It has a rectangular layout. There are several sofas on one side of the room, while the other side is originally It was an extremely empty place, and at this time, cameras and other interview equipment had been arranged.

"Dear Earl, it is a great honor to meet you. Thank you very much for taking the time to accept my interview. I am Ceylon, the host of the BBC distinguished channel."

The first time Ceylon saw Allen, he didn't even have time to look carefully. He immediately got up from the sofa and bowed respectfully. There were cameras at the scene, although the footage of the first meeting might not be broadcast. Yes, but the etiquette must be in place!

If word gets out that the BBC reporter can't even follow the etiquette, then she will suffer a lot.

It wasn't until Allen's gentle voice came that Ceylon raised his head and looked at Allen's right hand that he stretched out in front of him. Ceylon was somewhat flattered and stretched out his hands to shake it gently and said, "Nice to meet you, Your Excellency."

"It's been a hard journey, sit down."

Allen smiled and nodded to Ceylon, and then turned his attention to the black female reporter who looked like a butcher.

"Hello, Mr. Earl, I'm Oprah."

"."

Listening to the weird and nondescript names of the black woman who called herself Oprah, and looking at her strange etiquette, Allen felt a little disgusted. She is indeed an ignorant barbarian, and she is still a reporter?

Since shaking hands with Allen, Ceylon, who had focused all his attention on Allen, saw this extremely handsome His Excellency frowning slightly, and even felt a little distressed. He turned his head and looked at Ou, who was extremely rude in both etiquette and words. Pula, Ceylon subconsciously looked at the photographer.

As soon as the two people's eyes met, Ceylan felt calm. The photographer's firm eyes told her that this part was captured.

Isn’t this news already there?

"The extremely arrogant American reporter was extremely rude in front of His Excellency the Count"

Moving slightly to the side, Ceylon curled the corner of his mouth slightly and looked at Oprah with some contempt.

"Well, let's get started. Please sit down."

Allen no longer had any desire to shake hands this time. He raised his right hand slightly and put it back without leaving a trace. He nodded to Ceylon, indicating that he could sit down and start.

On the single sofa in the main seat, Allen sat in the middle, and on the sofa closest to him on the right was Ceylon, and next to Ceylan, Oprah, who looked a little embarrassed, sat.

The servant brought a full set of tea sets and poured three and a half cups of traditional black tea into the pot.

Then he put lemon slices, ice cubes and other condiments into each cup, stirred it, and finally placed it in front of the three of them. After placing the tea, he lightly saluted Allen and slowly backed away with the tray.

The whole set of actions, including serving tea, dividing tea, making tea, and serving tea, flows smoothly and looks very pleasing to the eye.

"Sir Allen, I would like to ask, have you ever watched the programs on our premium channel?"

When the servant saluted Allen, Ceylon nodded gently to the servant to thank him in a very ladylike manner, while Oprah next to him just nodded casually.

Ignoring Oprah, after the servant left, Ceylan was very curious and asked questions first.

"Premium channel"

Allen recalled briefly that the name of this channel was very deceptive. It did not mean that their program was very noble, or that it was a TV station that specialized in interviewing nobles. Their dignity was more to say to the audience.

This station is one of dozens of BBC radio and television stations. It is more entertainment-oriented and has many interviews with celebrities and political figures.

The most important thing is that their channel is international. It can be watched by all countries in the entire Commonwealth region, and it has great influence!

That’s why they call it Premium Channel!

"I don't have much time to watch TV. You know, I have a lot of work on hand and am very busy every day, but I have known about your station before."

"Really?! That's such an honor." Ceylan couldn't stop smiling.

His Excellency the Earl meant what he said, even if he was very busy, he would still find time to watch the distinguished channel!

The second piece of news tomorrow is here!

Holding the armrest of the delicate tea cup in front of me, I picked it up and took a sip. The sour and sweet lemon black tea was not as good as coffee.

Oprah put down her teacup and after hearing Ceylan's first question, she quickly sat up straight, crossed her legs as she had in habit, extended her right hand to make gestures, and asked in a very relaxed manner: "Some time ago , Ms. Meryl accidentally exposed Mr. Allen’s identity during the interview, do you have any opinion on this matter?”

"."

Looking at Ceylon's regular sitting posture with his knees together and his hands on his legs, and then looking at Oprah's carefree sitting posture, Allen was a little disgusted.

It’s not that you can’t cross your legs when chatting, but when the relationship between the two parties is not close or unfamiliar, it is extremely disrespectful to cross your legs when talking to someone!

Even though he has his feet flat and his sitting posture is very standard, this guy actually has his legs crossed. What do you think?

Didn't you do any homework before coming here?

"The way you are sitting is so rude. Are all your interviews in China so rude?" Allen said, pointing at Oprah with his right hand, his words filled with disgust.

"ah"

This time it's Oprah's turn to be embarrassed again.

Her program itself is in the form of a talk show, focusing on being relaxed and sharp, speaking freely, plus she has never interviewed a serious noble before.

As for preparing in advance?

She had made some preparations in other aspects, but she really hadn't thought about etiquette.

"You always ask others to respect you, especially those with your skin color. You always talk about inequality and ask for this and that. But sometimes, you really should think more about yourself, increase your experience, and learn more about the knowledge and history of various countries. and etiquette, you always act like others owe you, and you can't learn how to respect others first. It's really..."

Allen shook his head. Although his words were a little tactful, his heart was wilting. Ceylan next to him almost couldn't hold it in anymore after hearing what he said.

"Your Excellency, uh, it should be due to their living habits and social background. They have not had any contact with people of your class."

Ceylon seemed kind-hearted and put in a good word for Oprah.

"Haha. I can understand it. America is a place where many ethnic groups gather. A little chaos and ignorance are acceptable."

The two sang together and instantly added several labels to Oprah.

When it comes to laughing at Americans, most British people don't need to be taught. Even with a look or a word, everyone can cooperate and laugh together.

Ceylon thought that once today's clips are aired, Oprah, who often makes ugly appearances next to her, will be able to highlight her professionalism as a BBC reporter.

"Your Excellency Allen, regarding the movie you released some time ago, it is said that you personally shot it. You..." Ceylan didn't know how to express it, and made a helpless and apologetic gesture and continued: "How did you come up with the idea of ​​making it? How about making such a controversial movie?"

When Allen heard the question, he quickly ran through it in his mind. In this kind of situation, he must learn to brag.

It's not enough to just brag, you also have to learn to ask celebrities to tell short stories. No matter whether it's true or not, try to tell them in a non-fiction and high-spirited way.

He couldn't say that he was short of money and couldn't open the pot at home, so he shot a large advertising video for his duck factory in The Gambia, right?

That's too embarrassing!

Be high-minded!

"Princess Diana is my aunt, did you know that?"

"Oh? There is such a relationship?"

Ceylon was shocked. They would never dare to check such private information secretly, let alone about members of the royal family, but

Diana is very popular in Britain at present. She is by far the most popular member of the royal family, except for the Queen!

"My mother passed away early. The princess has taken good care of me since I was a child. She has been a great help and influence. Therefore, I also hope to make some contributions to the empire, society, and the female community like her."

Regardless of how Diana was only a few years older than Allen and how she managed to take care of him since childhood, Allen opened his mouth and started to brag.

The one who came up was inspired by the princess, for the empire and for the society!
