England 1986

Chapter 118 The islanders are really rich!
"Did you see him?" Alan stretched out his hand and pointed to Rex Hugh Grant standing by the pool.

"You take someone with you later, let him try it himself, and let Syphis arrange you."

For this kind of thing, Allen didn't bother to explain it. Real people have come here. If they can't act well under this situation, then they are too useless.

Sifis had a big head, so he ran to explain to the medical team first. Although Allen didn't care, Sifis still didn't want to be so cruel, so save it if you can.

He waved at Grant and said, "Grant, you will take the real shot in a while. Don't be afraid. Our first aid facilities are very complete. The person who came to accompany you in the rehearsal this time is a professional stand-in. Don't worry."

Hugh Grant glanced suspiciously at the fat, white man with dull eyes. This man's complexion was a bit strange. He might be Asian, but he looked as if he hadn't seen the sun for a long time. Glowing a sickly white.

Presumably this is a professional stand-in actor. Anyway, he has debuted for so long, and he has never seen such a professional rehearsal stand-in. He is a little confused.

"Okay Mr. Siphis, don't worry."

Grant secretly tightened his right hand, isn't it just for real, since he is a professional body double and has complete first aid facilities, then come here!

All for the art of cinema!

Alan folded his arms and stood by the swimming pool, watching the camera crew making the final arrangements.

The actor of "The Adulterer N" wore diving goggles, and prepared to wait for Grant's "rehearsal" for a while, and then went into the water to observe and study on the spot.

The Korean received Rex's request to cooperate with the filming and performed well, even letting him go, so he honestly soaked in the swimming pool, staring at the surrounding cameras and the crew watching in a daze staff member.

He still doesn't know what kind of scene will greet him next.

With a soft sound of hitting the board, Grant didn't hesitate, grabbed the Korean's back neck from behind, pressed hard with his right hand, assisted with his left hand, and plunged into the swimming pool while pressing the Korean.

Allen couldn't see what was going on under the water. Anyway, the splash of the Koreans was quite big, and it looked lively, as if the water in the swimming pool was boiling.

No one shouted to stop, the two in the swimming pool were just experimenting ruthlessly, and the other was struggling to survive. The sound of splashing, splashing, splashing was particularly harsh at the scene.

"it is good!"

With an excited shout from the photographer, this "dress rehearsal" was perfect.

Several staff members who had been prepared jumped into the swimming pool, some went to La Grant, some went to pull the Korean.

Allen took a few steps back without disturbing the rescue work at the scene.

After waiting for a long time, Syphis cautiously approached Allen, and whispered: "Master, I think he is dying."

"Oh? So dedicated? Pull it away, pretend to be a rescuer, and say it's nothing serious, don't let the actors have any psychological burden."

Allen doesn't care about the loss of a Korean. There are so many in London, which are inexhaustible. This is the method of filming. It is really effective and can be vigorously developed in the future.

A few strong men in white coats carried stretchers and instruments, pretending to be decent, and carried away the Korean who seemed to have passed out.

Waving his hand, Allen signaled to the crew to strike while the iron was hot and quickly change people to continue filming.

A few days ago, Huth sent Alan's letter to Charles away, and waited for a full week. Before Charles' reply, he waited for Patrice.

Taking advantage of the rest of the crew, Patrice took the small Mazar from the servant, sat next to Allen's recliner, stretched out his index and middle fingers triumphantly, and made a victory gesture to Allen.

"Funding settled?"

Looking at the proud look of this old guy, it should be that the funds for the islanders to invest in the film have been confirmed.

"Master, your guess is really accurate, this number!"

Patrice shook two fingers emphatically.

"Tsk 200 million?"

It's only 200 million pounds, which is a lot of money if you say more or less.

"It's not 200 million, master. It's this!"

Patrice continued to shake his two fingers, and under Alan's somewhat suspicious gaze, he whispered, "It's 2000 million pounds! These islanders are really rich, and they said too little for fear of humiliating you, young master." identity!"

"2000 million?! Pounds?!"

shit
Allen was a little surprised. He set up various names to increase the film's budget to 2000 million pounds. This has to be done quietly and not announced to the public. Allen feels that he is exaggerating enough.

But today.
Unexpectedly, the islanders taught him another lesson solidly.

The shot is 2000 million pounds!
"What did you say?"

Allen really didn't understand, how did Patrice get so much money?
"Uh, I didn't say anything, I just told them about my resume, and slightly exaggerated your influence, young master, they really don't know anything about movies, I said our side is professional The team, they don’t need to intervene, just give money!”

"It's that simple?"

"It's that simple!"

The two asked and answered, and even Patrice was slightly aggrieved by Allen's question. Wouldn't it be nice to ask for more?

If you don't slaughter fat sheep, what are you waiting for?
Allen reached out to take the cigarette case from the tea table next to the recliner, and took out a cigarette. Patrice quickly got up and lit Allen.

Take a deep breath.

For the first time, Allen felt that it was so easy to make money.

I knew they were rich, but I didn't expect them to be so rich!

This is 2000 million pounds, and it was taken out without blinking? !

Allen can't wait to finish this movie quickly and make another one.

The next film will be a sci-fi film, with an increased budget and money!
One hundred million, not two hundred million, it depends on whether they will give it or not!

After flicking the soot, Alan calmed down and denied his thoughts again.

It's too obvious to do so, people don't understand, and they are not really stupid.

It is still necessary to set up the shelf of the film and television company first, even if it is an empty shell, it is the big head to pull the islanders in to invest!
At that time, wouldn't it be how much money he said?

There are less than three months before October, so we must hurry up and make arrangements.

Thinking of this, Allen put out the cigarette butt, stood up and ordered: "Notify me, call it a day! I'm going back to the manor now, tell Monica, and I will send someone to pick her up at night."

Leaving a word in a hurry, Allen called Patrice and turned around to leave.

"Young master, what is this?"

When Huth was called to the study by Allen, he was still a little puzzled. During the day, his young master stayed on the set conscientiously and didn't go home until night. What happened today?
Come back so early?
It doesn't look like it's finished.

"There is something urgent, please remember it and help me with my staff."

The old Carl is in the United States, and it must be too late to discuss matters with him now. The old man in the family can help Alan to check for omissions and make up for the vacancies. There is only one butler Huth left.

"Alright young master, tell me!"

Seeing that Alan became so serious rarely, Huth didn't dare to neglect, took out his single-sided glasses from his pocket, picked up his notebook, and looked at Alan seriously.

"Patrice came back today, and from the islanders, he brought in investment for a new movie, a full 2000 million pounds!"

"hiss"

Huth also took a deep breath when he heard this number.

"Their original purpose was to acquire a large and influential film and television company. Now, seeing their financial resources, I am going to intervene. How about we build a film and television company and sell it to the islanders!"

"How are you going to do it, young master?"

When it comes to this sort of business practice, it's not Huth's forte.

"Well, that's what I'm thinking about, take out 200 million, you call someone, go to other countries in our Commonwealth, buy some small film and television leather bag companies, I want quantity, not quality, buy dozens of film and television companies, and then buy some. Cheap bad film copyright, and then we will reorganize in Great Britain to create a new, large multinational film and television company, do you think this method is feasible?"

Alan knocked on the table. Although the islanders don't understand, Alan is still very cautious. It's a scam, at least you have to pretend, right?

Not to mention anything else, a large multinational film and television company has subsidiaries in dozens of countries. Does this sound bluffing?
Does such a large multinational film and television company cost a little bit more to acquire?

What's more, the boss is still Mr. Allen.

"This"

Huth didn't know what to say for a while. This kind of thing seems unreliable at first glance, but as long as it is done in a concealed manner, it seems to be okay, mainly because the buyer doesn't understand!
The film and television industry, before Internet companies came out, was considered the most bubble-filled field.

The valuations of many film and television companies are very false!
Take movies as an example, what is the copyright value of a film and television work?

Can anyone clarify?
Take Allen's last film as an example. He insisted that the copyright of that film was worth [-] million pounds. Who could refute him?

It is one thing for someone to buy it for [-] million pounds, but whether it is worth it is entirely up to him, and you don’t have to buy it if you think it is too expensive.

The moisture in it is very, very large!

It is extremely operable.

"Master, what do you mean, let's purchase the copyrights of some bad movies from various regions and distribute them to each leather bag company. By raising the prices of each subsidiary in a small range, and finally adding them together, we can achieve a large-scale price increase. Purpose?!"

"Yes, and we need to move quickly. Before the end of the year, to be precise, before October, I need a lot of liquidity. This is our chance!"

Hut and Alan looked at each other. The young master was so fighting spirit, and he nodded while recording the main points that the young master said today in his notebook.

"I understand, young master, I will find someone to arrange it in a while."

"Okay! Later, you can call Carl by the way and ask him to quickly find out the information I need."

"Ok!"

With the episode of the islander, Allen's plan was instantly disrupted.

Originally.
He also plans to spend a little money to buy some old production lines in the United States before the end of the year, and then move these production lines to Huaguo to develop slowly.

But now that there are family sponsorship fees from the islanders, Allen plans to cut some meat from the islanders this time.

In this way, with sufficient funds in hand, you can operate better, and you can also try to peep into industries that you were not prepared to enter before.

Flickering candlelight, Alan's bedroom and the hallway, on the small dining table, Monica took a bite, raised her head and glanced quietly at Alan sitting opposite, saw that his eyes were looking at her, and quickly lowered her head to continue eat.

Since the last "speaking drama", Monica found that the usual Alan and the Alan at certain times seemed to be completely different people.

It was so wild that she couldn't stand it.

The main reason is that Allen played too excitingly, which made her very reluctant to let go.

But it's not easy for her to refuse Alan directly, and she is even afraid that Alan will be angry after refusing.

But the more secretive she is, the more she pushes and gives in, the more excited Alan is.

Today is the first time since Alan has known Monica for so many days, he took her home for dinner, and it was a candlelight dinner in such a very private space.

As time went by, the atmosphere at the dinner table gradually changed a little bit.

When Monica lowered her head to eat, she always felt Alan's gaze flowing over her body, such a substantial gaze that even made the tip of her nose a little itchy.

"Alan, let's stop playing on set, okay?"

Monica pleaded pitifully.

"Oh don't you like it?"

Allen got up and changed his position, from across from Monica to the position next to her, and pulled Monica to lean against him with a light pull.

"I don't really like being on set, like that"

Speaking of this, although she said she didn't like it, she recalled the tricks Alan took her to play on the set recently in her mind, and Monica felt that her body was better and a little out of control.

Allen played with Monica's left earlobe with his right hand, lowered his head and sniffed her hair.

A scent of shampoo.

The current Monica has not yet passed her 23rd birthday. At this age, she is far from the maturity of a mature woman.

There is only a kind of girlish wildness. If you don't wear the European and American heavy makeup, the current Monica looks a bit like a famous vase in the future - Megan Fox from a certain angle.

The main reason is that the current Monica has the temperament of a woman from a good family.

Every time Alan bullied her, the way he refused to welcome her, even lowered his voice, frowning and not daring to scream, was extremely pleasing to Alan.

Although Alan would feel a little guilty every time he finished playing, but as long as his sage time passed and he saw Monica again, he would become a little itchy again.

Now, instead of winning any sympathy from Allen, her seemingly pitiful begging for mercy reminded Allen of some more perverted ways of playing.

"Okay. At my house tonight, you won't be afraid this time, will you?"

Speaking words of relief, holding Monica's hand, Allen slowly got up and walked towards the bedroom.

PS:

Yesterday I went to get a haircut and tidy up. This afternoon, I will have a meeting in a while. There is a high probability that it will be yellow tomorrow, and then life will return to normal.

Introduce me to a shift today, and keep a full attendance until I finish the blind date process tonight.
