British 1986

The entire opera house looks very retro, but

They were all rebuilt after the war. During the war, this place was almost razed to the ground.

Most of the private rooms here have been reserved for a long time by wealthy Italian businessmen or nobles, and they can also decorate their own private rooms.

Sylvie Guillian was originally going to take Allen to the backstage to have a look, but Allen didn't want to go.

Most of the people behind are ladies. Sylvie Guillian doesn’t understand. How can Allen understand?

Is this what a noble should do?

Going backstage only adds to the chaos.

Inappropriate!

The private room I booked today is on the second floor. The location is not particularly good. It is one of the few "unowned" private rooms. It is just to prevent any distinguished guests from suddenly coming and causing the embarrassing dilemma of having no place to sit.

There are only six places in the entire private room, and they are well decorated.

It’s hard to put it into words, it’s said to be magnificent, but in Alan’s opinion, it’s full of the atmosphere of the nouveau riche and not real at all!

Especially his private room diagonally facing the "Emperor's Private Room" in the distance.

There is a very ironic private room, which is even more magnificently decorated. It is a private room dedicated to the King of Italy.

But

After the war, the Italian royal family was driven out of Italy, and all members of the Italian royal family were banned from entering.

The so-called "Emperor's Private Room" was only established after the war.

Isn't that very ironic?

The king was driven away, and a special private room was built for the king.

Listening to Sylvie Guillian's story, Allen curled his lips, Italy was so damn hypocritical.

It's still a while before show time, but the more than 3,000 seats are almost full.

The entire opera house was packed with people, and those with trypophobia would not be able to watch this scene.

He leaned back on the sofa. This time Allen came through the tourist channel. He didn't report it specifically. In theory, except for the customs, no one knew that he was a noble as long as he didn't say it. Therefore, Allen seemed Very casual.

He put his feet up on the coffee table, pulled Xi Wei Guilian to sit on his lap, and helped her see if she had lost weight again after not seeing each other for a while and whether her health was okay.

Sylvia Guillian was hugged by Allen and her breathing was a little rapid.

She's not like this usually. It's been a long time, hasn't it?

You say that a little separation is better than a newlywed. This separation has been more than a month since last time.

Last time I was in a Spanish hotel.

"Take it easy."

Sylvie Guillian's voice sounded like a mosquito. She was very brave when she was outside, but now that things have come to a head, she seems a little timid again, mainly because there are several tall and strong bodyguards behind her. Looking at it, she wasn't used to this.

"You were the one who screamed first. I'm being serious, and you shouted no, do you want it or not?"

Allen couldn't stand this tone. If the other person was always shy, he would show gentleness and gentlemanly demeanor.

But if the other party takes the initiative to seduce him, then he doesn't want to pretend. They are all acquaintances. He still remembers that Xi Wei Guilian is the girl he knows the most among his friends!

She is considered a top student in the pose world, there is nothing she can’t do!

Take the technical flow route.

Seeing Xi Wei Guilian blushing and looking behind her with some concern, Allen realized that there were bodyguards behind her.

The movements of his hands became much more honest. Gou Shou called the bodyguard closest to him and said, "I'll have a little chat with Ms. Xiwei. You guys go outside and wait for me for a while."

The bodyguard looked at Allen's eyes and smiled. He and Allen were comrades in different ranks. They were both veterans. Allen recruited him as a bodyguard and the treatment was not low. Now Allen doesn't treat them either. Be an outsider, that's all.

The bodyguard glanced at Xiwei Guilian who was huddled in Allen's arms. He turned around and took out a small blanket from the disinfection cabinet and said, "Sir, the air conditioner is turned on quite high here. Please put on the blanket so you don't catch a cold." , let me look at the window for you again."

The bodyguard pointed out the window. When watching an opera, some people bring binoculars to see more clearly!

this.

If someone from the other side spies on me, it will be a disgrace to your reputation!

The bodyguard did not wait for Allen's consent, so he called several bodyguards together, held a bracket, blocked it in front of the window, and took out a few blankets and hung them on the bracket, completely closing the viewing window of the box to the side closest to Allen.

Blocked tightly.

After doing all this, he saluted Allen, caressing his chest slightly, and smiled and winked at the same time.

"Ha ha!"

Allen waved his hand, these bodyguards are sensible, I will give them a salary increase when they get back!

The performance started at 4:30 and lasted until 6 o'clock, before Allen called the bodyguard who had been waiting outside the door to come in.

As soon as the very good bodyguard entered the private room, he sniffed subconsciously, and a strong fishy smell filled the entire private room.

Several blankets were piled on the ground, and there were large water marks on the blankets.

Mr. Allen was slumped on the sofa, but his clothes were not messed up. Ms. Sylvia Guillen gently touched the ground with one leg and knelt on the armrest of the sofa with the other leg, gently rubbing Mr. Allen's temples.

Allen was no longer in the mood to watch the show in the theater. He was a little tired.

This is his first time trying to move around in a very small space, such as a single sofa, to study the technique of exerting force.

Fortunately it was Sylvie Guillen.

If there was another person today, his research would never be so thorough, Xiwei Ji Lianruan!

She could shrink into a ball and hang on Allen's body.

Even so, it doesn't affect her from moving on her own.

This is the benefit of having technology!

After twisting his neck, the little hand on his temple immediately moved to his neck in a sensible way, massaging Allen's neck. While changing hands, he stuffed a grape into Allen's mouth.

When I think about it, I originally planned to watch the show and then study the topic together in the evening, but now that I haven't watched the show, I have already studied half of the topic, and I have to continue studying in the evening.

For a moment, Allen felt guilty.

Ballet dancers have great stamina!

Normally, if Monica were like this, she would have been paralyzed a long time ago. How can it be like Sylvia Guillen, who can give her a massage after studying the topic? This bitch has a lot of fun!

After spending one night in Italy, Alan took the nearest flight at nine o'clock the next morning and rolled back to Wales in despair.

Allen, who had just gotten off the plane, even felt a little weak when he saw Huth for the first time.

"Master, what's wrong with you? Aren't you going to see a show?"

"Bad luck! The French are so awesome!"

Allen said nothing and got into the car first without giving Hut time to think.

Yesterday afternoon, it was okay when I was at the opera house. The space was limited and Mr. Allen did not take off his armor, but it was not good when he returned to the hotel in the evening.

As soon as he took off his armor, Sylvie Guillian saw the scar on his back.

Although most of the two large, densely packed scratches were scabbed, it could still be seen that they were new injuries. Sylvia Guillian was a little jealous when she saw this scene.

as a result of

As a result, Allen felt that his body was hollowed out.

How many years has it been since he felt this way?

I feel like I have to ask Master Zong to study food supplements when I come back this time, and replenish the body quickly to avoid causing the root cause of the disease.

On the way home, Hu Te looked at his young master's tired face. After thinking about it for a while, he finally said, "The people from the island country have already started investigating the film and television company's information."

"Um"

"The procedures and venues we have done are very complete, and there will be no problems with the documents."

Afraid of worrying Allen, Hu Te spoke first.

"Um"

Allen moved closer to the car door, leaned against the car window, and stared at the scenery outside the car in a daze.

Not surprisingly, Sony’s acquisition target in the United States is Columbia Pictures.

It's the sign that shows a goddess holding a torch, dressed in cool clothes, standing there with a smile.

They and MGM are the oldest film companies in the United States.

It has studios, distribution companies and other departments.

The biggest problem is that they hold more than 4,000 movie copyrights.

Sounds bluffing!

But Allen now also holds the copyright to nearly 2,000 movies.

They are all garbage movies, who doesn’t have them?

Some movies can be traced back to the First World War. The rights to such junk movies can be obtained for as little as a few hundred pounds. The most expensive ones are just over ten thousand, and the proportion is extremely small.

If you have to compare the two sides.

Columbia owns the studio, and so does Allen.

The American-style town he built is also a studio.

The people who work on the set are studio employees.

Columbia Pictures has a video tape production line, and Allen also has one. Although the scale is not as large as that of the other company, it is there!

He is enough.

In terms of influence, Columbia Pictures is one of the few film and television companies in Hollywood, but 21st Century Earl Pictures covers a lot of areas.

Regardless of the size of those subsidiaries, there are offices and film and television productions all over the place.

These scattered subsidiaries are spread throughout the Commonwealth countries.

Everyone is theoretically only half-a-dozen.

in addition

And most importantly, Columbia Pictures is now in the hands of Coca-Cola.

And 21st Century Earl Pictures is in Allen's hands.

When Sony wants to acquire Columbia Pictures, it is doing a wholly-owned acquisition, that is, buying the entire Columbia Pictures in one fell swoop.

But Allen's side is different. They only need to acquire half of it. This is a business partnership for everyone.

The meaning is different.

Compared to Americans, if they have no choice, Sony people will of course prefer Americans. After all, they are a Hollywood film and television company.

But with extra choices, the opponent is still an earl, and his influence seems to be not small. The main reason is that the prospects look very good.

The market value of Columbia Pictures, based on what Allen's staff has found out, will not reach one billion U.S. dollars.

But this is calculated based on the current stock price. If the islanders really want to buy it all in one go, Coca-Cola people will cheat him several times the price. Allen writes his name backwards!

Although I don’t remember how much Sony ultimately spent to acquire Columbia Pictures.

But Allen uses himself to save others. If the Coca-Cola people speak loudly, the price will be doubled. Is it reasonable?

Two billion US dollars, plus the debt of Columbia Pictures.

In the past few years, this company suffered heavy losses. If it hadn't been for the heavy losses, they would not have been taken over by Coca-Cola.

Here and there, the price is as high as three to four billion US dollars.

As for Allen's film and television company, after cutting off half of its shares, it only had 1.8 billion pounds.

Although it is a lot when converted into US dollars, when compared with Columbia Pictures, it seems to be very cost-effective and sincere.

They are all deceiving people. He, Coca-Cola, can deceive people, but I, Mr. Allen, cannot?

With Sony's financial resources, if they really care about influence and want to build their reputation, they can completely acquire Allen's film and television company and then turn around and continue to acquire Columbia Pictures.

Anyway, although the influence of the two companies overlaps, their combined influence is even greater.

Sony has the financial resources!

At the moment, these investigations are a formal process, and Allen is not afraid of checking at all. These things he said are not fake, they are all real, but the price has been inflated by a "hundred million points".

This is what people who simply bully Sony don’t understand.

There are so many different industries. If you want to enter a new industry, how can you do it without paying some tuition fees?

How can I better gain the friendship of Mr. Allen without paying tuition?

After a forty-minute drive, Allen regained his composure in the car.

When I got off the car, my expression was as normal as before. Sony's acquisition team had been staying in the manor these days, but except for watching the rough cut of the new movie with Kubo Tanaka on the first day, Allen had not shown up since.

He wanted to show that he didn't care much. He didn't know much about the operations in the first place, so he just left it to his professionals. If he did it well, he would be rewarded. If he didn't do it well, he would be punished!

It's that simple.

"Master, I'm back!"

Old Karl accompanied the maid who delivered the food and came to Allen's study in the evening.

Allen nodded, glanced at Old Karl, and sniffed. A smell of pepper filled the entire study.

"What is this?"

The maid pushed the dining cart closer, first placed a small alcohol stove on Allen's desk, then brought a small casserole to Allen, opened the lid and said: "Master, you didn't ask Master Zong to give you some medical treatment." Meal? This is it."

What about medical meals? These silly foreigners don't know anything about dietary supplements, they only know how to eat mummies.

Allen waved his hand to drive away the maid with a look of disgust, picked up the spoon, looked at Old Carl and motioned for him to sit down first.

"Master, are you injured?"

Old Carl was more alert and frowned when he heard the maid talking about medical meals.

"Ahem. It's not that I'm injured. Forget it, you don't understand it."

Allen lowered his head and looked at the stewed turtle the size of a plate in the small pot. This thing should be called Dabu Soup, right?

His little pet Xiao Huang, perhaps smelling the smell, also stood up with his wings spread and moved closer to the pot.

Allen grabbed the little thing with quick hands and eyes. He just wanted to eat an old turtle, and he didn't want to eat Farewell My Concubine. Besides, this little owl didn't have much meat on his body.

After taking two sips of the soup, he covered the pot first and let the soup simmer for a while. Then Allen took out the information sent by Old Carl from the table with one hand, pointed at the information and said: "I glanced at it, what's going on? .”

"Master, didn't you ask me to inquire about the families behind Oscar and Hollywood? I've found out some information, but I'm not very optimistic."

Having said this, Old Karl made a gesture, making an OK gesture with his left hand, and inserted the index finger of his right hand into the O in his left hand and pulled it out.

"Jew?"
