England 1986

Chapter 135 The islanders are still ruthless!
Old Carl hasn't come back tonight, and Alan didn't bother to look at the relevant materials in the United States, so he was lazy. Not long after Huth left, Alan had dinner. Monica didn't come today, she followed the crew Went to make up shots.

Allen, who went to bed early, was holding an ancient book that looked a little old.

This is "Journey to the West" published during the Republic of China.

Although the filming of CCTV's "Journey to the West" was finished last year, Daying couldn't see it here.

At the beginning of the year, Allen went to Xiangjiang, where he could receive the program signal through the satellite signal, and watched a little Journey to the West, but he didn't have time to finish it.

Compared with the TV series version of Journey to the West, Allen still prefers the original novel version of "Journey to the West".

The novel and the TV series "Journey to the West" can be said to be two different things.

In fact, the original story of Journey to the West is relatively dark. Influenced by the era at that time, it reflects a lot of content in the court.

The TV drama version of Journey to the West puts the main emphasis on learning scriptures and fighting all kinds of monsters.

Allen has also been envious of the production team of the TV series Journey to the West before, and there are still many talents in it, especially in terms of special effects, he is very envious.

At that time, Allen thought that he couldn't keep making this kind of novelty-hunting movies, right?

At the end of filming, you have to rely on big scenes and big productions.

In this way, the large amount of investment will make it easier for him to operate from it.

How can a small investment of several million pounds be enough for Allen to move around?

As far as Monica and Hugh Grant are now, if they are packaged and sold, they are not worth 1000 million pounds.

Now this movie has a budget of 4000 million pounds, which is just done secretly. Isn't Alan's reputation not yet reached that level.

Nobody bothers him.

But what about when he becomes more famous in the future and countless people pay attention to his every move?

Make another film like this, with a budget of tens of millions of pounds, what if people can't find it?

Someone will always jump out and find trouble.

Although it's not troublesome to deal with, Allen doesn't want to make it so obvious!

Only big productions can keep playing!

It's going to be a big production!
Like science fiction.

Shoot a sci-fi masterpiece, with interstellar spacecraft and the like.

The props team only needs to make the appearance of the starship passable, budget?

A starship with a budget of £3000m!

Who is not convinced?

Whether you accept it or not, as long as you blow up the interstellar spacecraft at the end of the filming, and destroy the corpse and wipe out the traces, who can find out?

When making a movie, the props are the big ones!

For a large-scale sci-fi movie, as long as the budget is sufficient and the operation is good, it is simply too easy to launder tens of millions of pounds.

In addition to advertising fees and the like, the film has not yet been released, and the net profit is tens of millions of pounds, which is not bad!
As for the box office, that doesn't matter!

All that's left is the small business of selling videotapes.

And. taxation.

The main pillar industry of my Great Britain is laundering. Financial services!

There are talents in this area everywhere, just find some.

Including Allen's new movie as well.

Don't look at the islanders investing 2000 million pounds.

But after the film is released, do they want to pay dividends?
Want to fart!

Master Allen's pound is so easy to get?
By the time.
Not to mention making money on the books, this movie has at least a "loss" of 1000 million pounds!

Didn't make a penny, and still lost 1000 million, so what kind of dividends are there?

After reading Journey to the West for an hour, because it was a little old and it was written in an ancient language, Allen read it a little slowly, yawned, rang the bell, and was going to have a bedtime urination, and then went to bed .

But it was not the previous servants who walked in, but the two island maids in the afternoon.

The two of them walked to Allen's bed and looked at Allen.

"I'm going to the bathroom, bring me a bucket."

Allen pointed at him, and the two maids just came home, and they didn't know much about his living habits, and they needed voice guidance for what they were doing, which was a bit troublesome.

The maid closest to Allen heard Allen's words and sat down on the edge of the bed without any hesitation.
What the hell!

The islanders are really talented.

Allen now understands what Tanaka Kubo said about the beauty!

And why these two maids can't speak, Alan can somewhat understand.

This is the first time Allen has used this human-shaped chamber pot.

There was a little bit of nervousness and some discomfort.

At the beginning, he still couldn't let go and couldn't urinate.

but.
You can't be ashamed in front of these two maids, right?

Gritting his teeth, he breathed a sigh of relief, and Allen released the water.

But this effect.
It's not about the effect, the capacity is very large!

beyond imagination.

One-time solution, not a single drop!
After urinating, Alan sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed, secretly thinking that if you wait a few months, after the cold weather, this kind of maid will be quite good to use, and you don't have to get out of bed when the weather is cold.

A little curious, Allen gestured and asked the remaining maid why they couldn't speak.

The maid who was being questioned opened her mouth slightly, motioning Allen to look into her mouth.

Allen, who was exposed to this kind of thing for the first time, was a little startled.

This islander is really cruel to his own people!
In order to increase the capacity of the mouth, the maid's tongue was actually cut off.

No wonder they have to be able to talk, everything is considered for the master they serve.

In this way, servants who can't speak are a little bit safer to use.

I don't know if there are maids in this form in other noble families in Great Britain. Anyway, Alan has never had contact with them since he was a child.

For some movies, the nobles are very harsh on the servants of the family, and Allen has never encountered it.

These things, his father had told him in detail before.

Although these servants serve others, they cannot insult them.

Alan's father went a step further. When picking people, he never paid attention to their looks. Even for the maids, as long as they were average-looking, it was because the family was afraid that these maids would use their looks to cause scandals with their masters.

As for the servants in the family, Allen is also influenced by Kano, as long as he doesn't make mistakes, he usually pays him well.

Never took the initiative to insult or bully subordinates.

They also asked Huth and Karl to kneel and thank them when they were bestowed with titles, but this is a ceremony, and even Charles should kneel when he was awarded the title.

Although the work of these servants is to serve others, as long as they are treated a little better and their wages are sufficient, their loyalty can still be guaranteed.

I can't figure out how to guarantee their loyalty by treating servants so morbidly like Yankees or islanders.

These are all people who are close to you, the attack is too ruthless, aren't they afraid that they will harm others while the master is asleep?
Simply. These are well-trained maids sent by the islanders. Alan has no psychological pressure to use them, and he has never bullied them.

After asking a few words and satisfying his curiosity, Allen waved his hand and asked them to go to the door to watch the night, turn off the lights for himself, and go to bed!

At 04:30 the next afternoon, three low-key Fiats were parked in the La Scala Opera House parking lot.

A tall and strong young man got out of the car in the middle, wearing a peaked cap. Under the sun, his face was covered with black shadows, and he couldn't see clearly because of the peaked cap.

A few bodyguards who got out of the car first consciously scattered to the side, pretending to be very casual.

Allen is wearing casual clothes today, light blue jeans with a pair of white sneakers, and a black T-shirt on top.

After looking around, he waved to a woman looking around with a parasol in the distance.

This morning, Hoot said, Sylvia Guillem called again and invited Ellen to her show.

It has been more than a month since we left in Spain last time.

It doesn't matter to Alan, there is no shortage of women around him, but Sylvie Guillem is different.

Every time Sylvia Guilian calls Alan now, she can't get in touch with Alan, and every time the housekeeper named Hut answers the phone.

Either His Excellency the Earl is out, or His Excellency the Earl is meeting with guests.

Anyway, just one sentence, no time!

Before meeting Alan, Sylvie Guillem was considered a very proud little swan, but after meeting Alan, her pride was shattered, and she couldn't wait to see her for more than a month .

It even affected her usual training.

There is no other way, Sylvie Guillem can only call Alan more frequently, or even write letters. If it weren't for the ballet company's regulations, she would like to go to Alan in person.

Finally, God pays off, the Virgin Mary blesses, I contacted Butler Huth yesterday, this time.
Your Excellency the Earl is no longer busy, but is sleeping!
It wasn't until noon today that Butler Huth called and said that His Excellency Allen agreed to her invitation and would come to Milan, Italy to watch her performance.

But her show.
The performance was over yesterday, and there will be no performance for her today, but...
As long as people come, everything will be easy to handle. If you can't see her performance, she can accompany Ellen to watch it in person. Their Royal Ballet has another performance tonight.

As one of the best opera houses in Europe, La Scala Opera House is certainly not comparable to a small country theater like Cardiff, Wales.

Whether it is history, decoration, or scale, the two sides are not in the same order of magnitude.

There are usually one or two performances in this kind of place. If the audience is enthusiastic, it is not impossible to perform another performance.

The Royal Ballet of Great Britain went to Wales to perform, which is called literature and art going to the countryside, and came to Milan, Italy to perform, which is called art exchange!

The programs performed are different, and the degree of emphasis is even more different!
But relatively speaking, Sylvie Guillem still prefers the Cardiff Theater because it is closer to Allen's home!
"Why are you here now?" Seeing Alan waving at her, Sylvie Gulian ran to Alan's side holding a parasol, just about to give her a big hug, but then thought about Alan's appointment with her Good time, already an hour late!

She has been waiting here for more than an hour holding a parasol!
"There is a ball game today, look at the road outside!"

Allen held his right hand, and was very experienced in this kind of thing. If the woman really blamed him, she would have run away long ago, and would not have waited here.

but.
Apologize?

Apologizing is impossible!
He first took Xi Wei Gulian's hand, and then pointed to the road outside the parking lot. There was a lot of traffic, especially the fans in ball uniforms. There was a ball game today, and it was still a derby.

The La Scala Opera House is near the center of Milan, which is the most congested place.

These fans just walked on the street, the red and black sides and the blue and black sides, talking trash to each other, and occasionally patrolling on motorcycles.

Xi Wei Ji Lian glanced at the road indifferently, moved closer to Allen, and said with Allen's arm, "Did you miss me?"

Allen nodded perfunctorily and said, "Go in quickly, it's too hot outside."

"Humph."

Xi Wei Gulian snorted softly, turned to Alan to take a small path, and prepared to take Alan to the backstage first.

Follow Sylvie Guillain to visit La Scala Square in front of the Opera House. There is a monument to Leonardo da Vinci, a celebrity of the Renaissance.

Allen didn't understand Italian, and Sylvia Guerlain tiptoed to his ear and introduced it to him.

I don't know if it was intentional, but when the little girl was talking, she deliberately blew into Alan's ear, and with the help of her hand to cover it, she lightly licked Alan's earlobe when she was about to finish speaking.

"hiss"

Allen took a sharp breath.

Originally, I was so quiet today that I wanted to move, so I came here to relax.

Monica is not here these days, plus the maid's chamber pot service last night.

It made Allen feel a little itchy, and he just received an invitation from Sylvie Guillain, so he was about to come for an airborne.

But now he was seduced in this square, which made Allen a little bit unwilling to watch the show.

"Don't make trouble!"

Allen scolded in a low voice, and pushed Sylvia Guilian with his elbow.

Xi Wei Gulian, who was pushed a bit, was not angry, and posted it again very naturally, and walked towards the theater with both hands on Alan's arm again.

The movements of his hands were also dishonest, and his index finger gently scratched Alan's palm.

"."

"If you provoke me again, I won't be in the mood to watch the show. Didn't you say that another chief, Fei Li, will appear today?"

Allen was a little regretful that he hadn't seen Feili's performance last time.

This Fei Li's full name is Alexandra Fei Li.

He is a rising star in Italian ballet, a little older than Sylvie Guillain, and is currently studying at the Royal Ballet of Great Britain, and is also one of the principals.

In the ballet industry, anyone who can be the chief must have something special.

Every chief has its own characteristics, like Xi Wei Gulian, her characteristics are long legs and agile dancing.

But this Feili is said to be the most beautiful Juliet in the ballet world.

Shows like Juliet are considered the most traditional shows, and it's obvious that they can have the title of the most beautiful Juliet!
After all, I came here to relax, and the others.
Anyway, Alan is not in a hurry for what he has already got, let's see Fei Li's true face first!
"I'll dance for you alone at night, what are you looking at, Feili?"

"Don't make trouble!"

La Scala opera house, in addition to the lobby on the first floor, the second to fourth floors are private rooms, and the fifth and sixth floors are ordinary seats.

Don't look at its name as the Opera House. Whether it's ballet, opera, concerts, etc., there are performances all year round, basically every day.

The lifelong dream of many actors is to come here to perform once.
