British 1986

Chapter 149 Screenwriter Joanna Rowling

"Tsk"

Allen took out a cigarette, and Syphis quickly lit it for him with a lighter.

Think about it.

The plot of this movie is very exciting and a little bit crazy.

If such a movie is released during this period, will it have some unimaginable consequences?

for example

Facing the financial crisis, many Americans are under great pressure, and then

Indulge yourself?

But the key point here is publicity. How to promote this movie is the key point.

"Say, let's say this is my Christmas gift to the Americans, and then choose to release it on Christmas, okay?"

"ah?"

Syphis was a little confused, what the hell is a Christmas gift?

Do Americans want to watch this with their families at Christmas?

And then they cheated collectively?

Damn it

"Look, let's look at it from another perspective. Married life will be boring if it lasts for a long time. Coupled with the high pressure of life, people's mental problems will easily occur."

"And our movie reflects this kind of problem. This is to give Americans a vaccination! Let them see the story between the male protagonist and the female protagonist in the movie, so that they can learn from it and be prepared to face it. Be prepared for all kinds of difficulties!”

The more Allen thought about it, the more he felt that this explanation was okay. Although it was a bit over-interpreted, I am the director and I can explain it however I like.

As for those distorted views in the movie, I filmed them to criticize them, not for you to learn them!

If the Americans really learn this, it proves that they are not good as viewers and are not firm in their hearts. What does it have to do with him, Allen? !

A knife can be used to cut vegetables and meat, but some people insist on using the knife as a murder weapon. Can you blame the knife factory?

cannot!

Syphis blinked, is this really good?

The Young Master is quite famous in the United States, and since he is an aristocrat, no matter whether the movies he makes are good or bad, some people will always watch them for the purpose of seeing them.

If we really promote it according to what he said, it seems that it is not impossible to give the Americans a Christmas gift, but it is a little bit...

Syphis didn't dare to say anything.

"What? Isn't this okay?"

"Uh, okay! Just do as you say. I'll go and prepare. This time I'll prepare the preliminary promotional materials and let people follow Sir Carl back to the United States to make preliminary preparations."

"Well go ahead!"

Allen stood up. Things happened for a reason today and he got up early. Now that the matter has been discussed for the time being, he was ready to go back and catch up on his sleep.

As soon as he entered the bedroom, Xiao Huang fluttered his wings and walked toward Allen.

A few days ago, Li Zhi was playing with him, but after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Li Zhi returned to Xiangjiang. When Allen was busy, Xiao Huang would stay in his nest and not go out.

He picked up Xiao Huang, who was already very big. In theory, this little guy should have learned to fly a long time ago, but I don’t know why. It seems to be because of eating fat or because of habit. Anyway, Xiao Huang always likes to fly. He walks on the ground and has little interest in flying or the like.

Alan doesn't force it either, whatever.

Seeing that Xiao Huang is in the moulting period again, white down has grown in some places, but most of the body is still light gray, patchy, looking a bit ugly.

"Master! I have your letter. It belongs to the princess."

Hu Te came back from seeing off the guests with a letter in his hand. When he entered the bedroom, he saw Allen squatting on the ground holding Xiao Huang and whispering something.

"Oh? You finally replied?"

Allen had a feeling of resentment. He had been waiting for this letter for so long that he thought it had disappeared.

The princess said she wanted to understand the situation, but it took too long!

After taking the envelope, Allen quickly opened it. There was not much in the letter.

At the beginning, I mentioned the reason why it took so long to reply.

She was worthy of being called the people's princess. Although Diana sometimes seemed careless and unreliable, she was still very careful at critical moments.

This time Allen wrote to her, and she took it very seriously. After all, this was a good opportunity to gain fame.

Allen was one of his own, so there was no need to say what he meant by handing this opportunity to her.

But the cautious Diana arranged for someone to investigate.

originally

The investigation is only more than half done, but wasn't it yesterday that the stock market crash in the United States caused a financial crisis?

What else is there to investigate?

The economic trend, which is already so sluggish, will become increasingly sluggish in the next few years due to the influence of the United States. There is no need to investigate!

Although she doesn't understand what being popular means, Diana understands that at this time, if she uses the news of the financial crisis to launch this plan, she will gain more fame than usual!

In this period of public panic, the launch of a new industry that mainly provides employment opportunities for the middle-aged and elderly people has definitely received more attention than usual!

And this is what Diana needs!

And her good nephew Allen will not suffer. The plan is launched now and will be officially implemented after a while. Whether it is purchasing land or recruiting people, it can be done at a lower price, which also saves money in disguise.

In the letter, Diana did not say any specific words of thanks, but at the end she encouraged the parents, and even wrote about William's mischief and herding cows into Charles's garden.

At the end of the letter, Diana also said that she would invite him to her home for dinner for a while.

As he read the letter, Allen's eyes flickered, and he didn't smile until the end.

Just agree to the plan, so that he can start preparations with peace of mind.

and

The reason why he insisted on writing a letter to Diana and asked her to do it together had some other ideas.

Charles doesn't let him rub against the royal family's emblem, but if he rubs against his aunt, it will be fine, right?

Diana will be her spokesperson from now on!

Thinking of this, Allen folded the letter and handed it to Hu Te and said: "Put it away. The princess has agreed, and the company can be officially established. In addition, you go and notify Matthias."

Making an OK gesture with his left hand, Allen explained: "Take out 30% of the shares, Princess, and 10% of the dividend rights for each of the two young royal highnesses. Write it clearly and send it over, saying that this is from me to my aunt and the two." A cousin’s pocket money!”

"This" Hu Te's eyes widened, this was an honest move.

But what the young master said was the right to share dividends, plus it was pocket money for relatives. Even if outsiders knew about it, they would not dare to say anything.

"Okay, Master. I understand!"

Throughout October, a panic first spread from the United States, and then spread rapidly outwards.

Until November, the outside world was not calm.

But nothing happened at Hill Manor.

At the beginning of November, it was already winter. It was around seven o'clock in the morning. Allen got up early today and put on a jacket. He had an elbow pad hanging on his left arm, and a pad was tied to the elbow pad.

After moulting, Xiao Huang now has white feathers dotted with scattered black hairs.

Birds like snowy owls are rarely pure white. Basically every snowy owl has some black feathers on its body, which is a bit like snow camouflage.

Standing on the lawn in the yard, Allen took out a small meatball from the small bag tied around his waist with his right hand, threw it into the distance, stretched out his left arm, and shouted "Go!"

Xiao Huang excitedly flapped his wings and jumped up hard, flashing his wings twice, then flattening his wings like a glider, chasing the meatballs and flying away.

At this time, a very ordinary red MG family car drove in from the gate of the manor, and the female driver in the car happened to see this scene.

On the lawn.

There seemed to be light on the blond man's face, and protective measures were tied on his left arm. When he raised his hand, the white bird standing on his left arm flew out.

The sun was shining down after seven o'clock, and accompanied by the wind, this scene looked a bit psychedelic.

She gently tapped the brakes. This was the first time she saw the owner of this manor so close.

Although he has been working here for more than half a year, His Excellency the Earl rarely gets up so early. He is usually busy and rarely meets other servants at home or staff working in the manor. Now for the first time When we met, we saw this scene.

This made the female driver think a little deeply.

As the car slowly approached, the female driver suddenly woke up. It was too rude for her to drive towards this person like this, and it would make others think too much. She glanced at the rearview mirror and saw that someone had already come out of the concierge at the gate. He looked at her from a distance!

After stopping the car, the female driver took the notebook and approached Allen with some embarrassment.

Once you get inside, you can see the scriptures more clearly.

The white bird that just flew out looked like an owl.

The female driver has seen this kind of bird. It seems to be called a snowy owl. It is often seen in the northern part of the United Kingdom, that is, in Scotland and Wales.

It seems that I can see it occasionally.

Now, this snowy owl, known as a bird of prey, is standing on the earl's left arm, and its head is being gently stroked by the earl. This thing is quite fun, and it seems to like the earl's movements very much. The snowy owl's head is slightly tilted back, and its eyes are wide. Narrowed, it looked like a smile, and a cooing sound came from his mouth.

"Huh? What do you do?"

Allen saw that Xiao Huang could successfully catch and eat the meatballs he threw out before they hit the ground. It felt like teasing a dog, which was very fun. When he looked up, he saw a blond woman approaching him, holding her hand There was also a notebook in it.

In the manor, it was not easy for outsiders to come in. If she hadn't held the microphone in her hand, Allen would have almost thought that this reporter from somewhere had sneaked in.

"Hello, Your Excellency. I am a screenwriter. This is the first time I have met you today. I saw you training falcons? I was curious and came over to take a look."

The female driver saw Allen suddenly raising his head to look at her, and was a little embarrassed to speak due to Allen's gaze.

She has seen this Excellency from a distance before. Today is the first time she has met him so close. There is a slight scar at the corner of his eye. Coupled with his current clothes and the snowy owl on his arm, this is the image. , giving her an unreal feeling!

Give her the feeling that she is like a character from an ancient bard's story!

Mysterious, gentle, confident, sunny, handsome, noble, etc. are all described!

"Screenwriter? Oh, I remembered it!"

As soon as she mentioned it, Allen remembered that he now had two screenwriters, one male and one female, who divided the work and worked together.

The female screenwriter who was hired before seems to have resigned due to some emotional problems according to Syffis, so this one was hired later.

It seems that he just graduated this year. He has little experience in the screenwriting industry, but he is a small writer with good literary skills. Now when they met for the first time, Allen tilted his head. Why did this female screenwriter look so familiar?

"what's your name?"

"My name is Joanna Rowling!"

"oh"

Alan blinked, Joanna Rowling?

Rowling?

Why?

This is not what I wrote.

"Are you a writer?"

"Yes! I didn't expect you to still remember, Your Excellency!"

Joanna grabbed the book with both hands excitedly. She was a little stunned when she looked at Allen, and Allen's image suddenly brought her endless inspiration.

That sense of mystery reminded her of ancient wizards!

Allen didn't know if this was the Rowling he was thinking of, but it didn't seem too good to ask him directly. He thought about it and smiled slightly: "How many works have you written? Are you free another day?" Send it to me for a look."

Joanna was slightly shy when asked about her work.

She has literary skills, she could tell stories when she was a child, and she likes to tell stories to her sister.

But the novels she is writing now tend to be Mary Sue-style romance novels in which a domineering president falls in love with me, which is a bit embarrassing to say.

It was because she wrote this kind of thing that Syphis decided to make her an editor. The request Allen gave him at that time was to be an author of romantic novels with delicate emotions.

Joanna reported the title of a novel she had already written.

Allen listened with a smile, and then...

The two of them found out awkwardly that there was no topic.

Allen thought she would continue, but he didn't expect that this Rowling only had one work now.

"Gone?"

"No more. The rest of what you write are just small fragments that you usually write, not worth mentioning."

"oh"

It turns out Harry Potter wasn't written, and he didn't hear the name he wanted. Allen was a little unsure. He didn't know Rowling's life, so he didn't know whether the one in front of him was the one he wanted. .

"Work hard! Try to write better stories in the future and contribute to the company. I look forward to you becoming a Dame in the future!"

Allen gave a word of encouragement and was ready to continue playing with Xiao Huang.

Joanna smiled happily, handed the notebook to Allen and said, "Sir, I admire you very much. Can you write a message or a signature for me? I have never had the chance to meet you before."

"okay!"

Allen gently shook his left arm to take the notebook, and Xiao Huang stared at Joanna angrily.

After breakfast, Syphis smiled apologetically at Allen. He came to the restaurant specifically to wait for Allen.

"Master, there is an email from the island country. It is a script sent by Sony for your purpose."

"Oh? Are they looking for me to do something because I'm free?"

Allen, who had only had some leisure time in recent days, curled his lips when he heard the script was sent to him by these little islanders.

Isn't it another perverted script?

"Go to my study."

Crossing his legs and enjoying the massage from the maid, Allen slowly turned over the so-called script that Sony wanted to film.

When Sony invested in shares, Allen promised them that they could use their people to make a movie every year that was "not for making money."

It's almost the end of the year now. If we don't use this opportunity, it will be forfeited!
