British 1986

The camera pans into the back seat of the police car.

Natalie was sitting in the police car, and a woman's voice sounded outside.

"God! What happened?"

This was Natalie's aunt whom she had never met before, his father's sister, who came to Wales to visit them, and happened to catch up with what happened today.

Then, the voice of the policeman who shot Jean Reno was heard, and he began to explain to the faceless aunt what had just happened in the house.

"Click!" Allen stood up, took the exclusive small speaker, and said with a smile on his face: "Okay, it's over. Let's pack up the equipment."

"Sir, congratulations, you have finished shooting another movie."

Cameron glanced at Julian Moore standing next to him with a smile, and congratulated Allen again.

This congratulation is really insincere, no one knows, but as long as the film is finished, it means that the crew is free, and Cameron can take over the control of the crew and start filming his "Terminator 2" 》!

"Haha, there is still post-production, it's too early to congratulate now."

Allen handed the trumpet to Julian Moore, raised his chin towards Cameron, and motioned for him to accompany him for a walk.

"When are you going to shoot?"

"Your Excellency, I am going to let the crew rest for a few days, and then start filming once the actors are in place."

"Um"

Allen glanced at Cameron, who was a little excited, and he was ready to pour some cold water on this guy.

"Have all your matters in the United States been resolved?"

"What?"

Cameron was stunned for a few seconds before he remembered that he had a wife in the United States!

now

The actor is coming to Wales soon, and among that group of actors is his mistress.

This is what Allen should be asking.

Thinking of this, Cameron sighed with a headache. Recently, after being on the crew, especially being in contact with Allen for a long time, some of Cameron's ideas were opened up.

His previous routine was that when he was short of funds and connections, he would find a more capable female producer and get married!

Launch a beauty trap to cheat people out of food, drink and money.

He made several movies and got married several times

I thought my routine was pretty good, but now it's affected by Allen.

Cameron no longer thinks so.

If he gradually becomes rich in the future, then frequent divorces will not be worth it!

Divorce involves dividing property!

He used to be a poor boy. Although he had a little money in his pocket, it was nothing compared to his previous producer wives, and they couldn't give him any money.

But what about the future?

If you still follow the old routine and get divorced frequently, wouldn't you be taken advantage of?

Now after Allen reminded him, Cameron instantly remembered that some time ago, in front of the earl, in order not to change the heroine, he vowed to use true love as an excuse to keep the heroine.

But now he has some regrets.

Empiricism kills people

"What's wrong?" After waiting for a long time and not seeing Cameron speak, Allen turned around and saw Cameron standing still with a troubled look on his face.

"Uh, sir, it's okay. I will solve my personal problem as soon as possible."

"Um"

As usual, after the crew wraps up filming, Syffis will be in charge and take everyone to a finishing banquet, and then the editing team will need a few days to sort out the footage to see if there are any defective shots that need to be reshot.

After all these materials have been checked, the actors can be paid and let go.

The filming of this movie has just come to an end, and the post-production department is ready to start work, including editing, dubbing, soundtrack, special effects, etc.

Allen gave Syphis a few days off. After the crew wrapped up filming, he didn't see Syphis rested until the end of July.

"Master?"

When Syphis walked into Allen's study, he happened to see the Ceylon lady who had just joined the team.

This person has been studying with him for a while, and the two of them get along quite well.

After giving Ceylon a nod, he just called out and was about to salute when Allen suddenly interrupted him.

"All your rewards this year are gone, just think of it as your punishment."

"???"

Syphis looked at Allen with a confused expression.

He hadn't even sat down yet. He had just rested at home for a few days. The first thing he did when he entered the study was to inform him that all the rewards for this year were gone!

It’s only July, and there are still nearly five months until Christmas? !

The bonus and the illusory title were just gone?

"Do you know why you are punished?"

"I"

Syffis had already roughly thought of something that could be related to him, or something that could be related to him. At the beginning of the year, those gangsters published the incident about Master Allen in the newspaper.

At that time, he was traveling with the company, so his response was a bit slow and he did not respond in time.

By the time he reacted, public opinion had already heated up.

But half a year has passed, and this is the time to settle accounts after the fall.

"I see."

"Um."

Allen stared at Siphis for a long time, then pointed at Ceylon and said: "You two are also familiar with each other. From now on, the work of responsible for public opinion will be handed over to Ceylan, and you will be responsible for keeping an eye on the movies. Production stuff.”

"clear!"

"Okay, you can go!"

"???"

Syphis looked at Allen in disbelief.

I came here happily, and then I said that all the rewards this year were gone, and then I was stripped of part of my work, and finally...

You didn't even sit down and were kicked out?

Looking at Allen who lowered his head to pick up something and couldn't even look at him, Syphis grinned, nodded, and left in despair.

Ceylon watched Syphis leave like this. Outside, this man was a powerful figure who commanded the entire crew, but in this study, he was not even qualified to say a few words or sit down. He was Just give him a scolding and he can leave.

At this time, Ceylon really saw clearly that the earl was not easy to mess around with. If he made a mistake, he would still be punished, and he would still be punished without the slightest ability to resist.

After looking at Allen who was looking for something and just raised his head, Ceylan coughed dryly, suppressed the nervousness in his heart and said softly: "Your Excellency, since you are a film and television company, why don't you set up an actor and artist department? Sign some artists. , we make our own movies and use our own artists, which not only lowers the pay, but also reserves more talents and increases loyalty."

"Tsk"

Putting down the planning map in his hand, Allen couldn't help but feel helpless when he heard Ceylan mention the actors department, that is, the agency.

It's not that he doesn't want to sign, it's just that there's no big need.

He used to make one movie a year, and the casting choices were all over the place.

Even if such actors are signed, what will they do after they finish acting in their own movies?

It’s not that he is short of money, it’s that he doesn’t regard filmmaking as his main career. This is more of a joke than a serious one.

Instead of this, it would be better to select actors for each movie, sign a contract, pay them according to normal procedures, and then everyone will break up after the performance.

The company's resources are limited, so it is not cost-effective or necessary to support its own artists.

In addition, because of his own factors, he likes to hook up with the heroine or supporting role in each movie, so if these people are brought together.

Will he still play nonsense after that?

All that's left is to watch these people scheming around.

Of course, Allen also understood what Ceylon meant. She was coming from an economic perspective.

Our own artists and actors can be used with peace of mind, and they can keep their film salaries low. In this way, it is equivalent to reducing the cost of the film in disguise, and then increasing the company's income.

but.

Compared with the advantages and disadvantages of raising artists by himself, Allen would rather not raise them.

Why does he always fall in love with young women in their twenties and thirties?

It's not because these young, experienced young women have a good attitude, know a lot, are not clingy, and don't have so many things to worry about.

Of course, there are exceptions to this. People like Julian Moore have become clingy, which makes Allen very worried.

"In this case, regarding my own agency, let's put this topic aside for now. I don't think it is necessary for the company to set up such a department at the moment. You are not busy recently. These are the two plans I have prepared. Take them back and take a look."

After taking the two folders handed over by Allen, Ceylon forgot about taking them back to read, and opened the files on the spot to check them.

First document.

File name: "Survival in the Wilderness".

Requirements: Looking for a retired soldier, white male, under the age of fifty, who is good at survival in the wild.

Content: Select places with beautiful scenery or harsh environment in all Commonwealth countries.

The protagonist carries a small number of tools and creates a program to survive in a harsh wilderness environment.

Profit direction: advertising, military subsidies, tourism promotion and advertising fees in various places, distribution and information of rare animals and plants in the wild, etc.

Budget: Within £10 million.

After reading this plan, Ceylon's eyes lit up. Survival in the wild?

Veteran?

This theme is coupled with the scenic spots or dangerous places within each Commonwealth country.

These few elements can instantly gather all the explosive points needed for the entire show.

This program is very feasible!

This was Ceylon's initial impression of the first document.

After reading this document, Ceylon couldn't wait to pick up the second document.

File name: "Great Britain: A Journey into a Food Desert"

Requirements: Select one or two hosts who must be good-looking and have professional food training.

Content: Taking Wales as the starting point, combined with Panda Takeout, and using the Panda Takeout map as the benchmark, the host needs to randomly select restaurants on the Panda Takeout map to dine, and take pictures during the meal, and then give a specific, objective and true evaluation after tasting.

Profit direction: attracting "customer flow" for Panda Takeout, advertising fees, etc.

Budget: £2 million.

Putting down the two plans, Ceylon turned the plans around in his mind.

The first of the two plans seemed to beat the second by a wide margin.

Mainly because of the second plan, she had never even heard of Panda Takeout, and

I went to try out a few restaurants. There are so many food critics of all kinds these days. No matter how Ceylon looked at this plan, he found it unattractive.

"Sir, do you mean to let me take advantage of this period of time to rest and pick a plan to do?"

"No!"

Allen picked up the teacup and was about to take a sip of tea. As soon as the tip of his tongue touched the water, he felt that the tea was cold. He put down the teacup, pulled the bell, and said to the servant who came in: "Change a cup of tea."

"Okay, Master!"

After explaining the tea change, Allen looked at Ceylon and said: "I'm not asking you to pick one plan to do, but I'm asking you to do both plans and organize them both!"

"You can't apply the habits you used to work in a TV station to your current self."

"As long as it's within my financial capacity, you can do it at the same time!"

"Both plans."

Allen pointed to the two plans on the table and said: "The column about food delivery reviews needs to be prioritized. This is a promotional plan for the newly established food delivery group!"

"."

When Ceylon heard that both plans had to be carried out, he was initially a little undecided, but he slowly calmed down. Since you asked for it, it would be easy, just take the money to prepare for the preliminary work.

"Then, Your Excellency, I will take these documents back and look at them carefully. I will report to you when I encounter any problems?"

"Okay, go ahead and do it boldly."

Not ten minutes after Ceylon walked out of the study, Hu Te himself came in with tea and a stack of photos in his hand.

"Master, your tea."

"Okay, let it go."

Allen motioned for Hut to sit first, and then picked up the new manor design plan from the side.

The new manor is still in the old castle style.

But the style changed from the traditional English rough castle style to the Gothic style of the Victorian era.

This style, a typical example of Gothic architecture, is the style of Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament.

This architectural style likes to be decorated with towers, sharp spires, etc., which is very suitable for building castles.

To put it bluntly, Gothic architectural castles have a dark element, which is the sense of déjà vu of a vampire castle.

Mysterious, elegant and bold, this type of building likes to be inlaid with gold and precious stones.

The location of the new manor is not too far from the current manor, and it already belongs to the national park boundary to the west.

But that doesn't matter. What's wrong with being a local snake and occupying a bit of national park land?

He, Mr. Allen, wants to get closer and better protect the animals in the national park. This reason is very strong and reasonable.

The new manor design plan is not to build a castle, but to build a group of castles!

Using modern architectural methods, only the exterior style of the castle should be Gothic, while the interior should be more comfortable.

The entire castle covers an area of ​​dozens of acres, plus a three-story large underground warehouse that is twenty meters underground.

There is a small helipad and a horse trail inside the castle.

A small private airport will be built one kilometer southwest of the castle.

These are all external configurations. As soon as he opened the detailed introduction at the back, Hu Te handed the photo he brought to Allen and said: "Master, the designer asked me to give this to you. He said he wanted you to take a look at this hall. Do you like the design style or not?”

"Oh? The design style of the hall?"

Allen took the photo

What is this stuff?

All he saw was something shiny in the photo. At first glance, he couldn't tell what it was. If no one told him, he would have thought it was a diamond factory.

The entire photo was filled with diamonds, and there was an air of nouveau riche about it.
