England 1986

Chapter 136

The entire opera house looks very retro, but
They were all rebuilt after the war. During the war, it was almost razed to the ground.

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

Xi Wei Gulian was going to take Allen to the backstage to have a look, but Allen didn't want to go.

Most of them are women in the back, Xi Wei Gulian doesn't understand, how can Alan understand?
Is this what a noble should do?

Going to the background of others will only add to the chaos.

Not suitable!
The private room I booked today is on the second floor, and the location is not particularly good. It is one of the few "unowned" private rooms, just to prevent the embarrassing situation where there is no place to sit when some distinguished guests come suddenly.

In the entire private room, there are only six seats, just for decoration.
It's hard to say, it's magnificent, but in Allen's view, it's full of nouveau riche atmosphere, not real at all!
Especially his private room is diagonally facing the "emperor's private room" in the distance.

There is a very ironic private room, which is more magnificently decorated, and it is a special private room for the king of Italy.

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

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

Isn't it very ironic?
The king was driven away, and a private room was built for the king.

Listening to Xi Wei Gulian's narration, Allen curled his lips, Italy is so fucking hypocritical.

There is still a while before the performance, but more than 3000 seats are almost full.

The entire opera house was crowded with people, and those with trypophobia couldn't watch this scene at all.

Leaning on the sofa, this time Allen came through the channel of tourists, and he didn't report specifically. In theory, except for the customs, as long as he didn't say anything, no one would know that he was a nobleman. very casual.

Putting her feet up on the coffee table, she pulled Xi Wei Ji Lian to sit on her lap, and helped her see if she had lost weight and whether she was in good health after not seeing her for a while.

Xi Wei Gulian was hugged by Allen, and her breathing was a little short.

She's not usually like this, isn't it a long time gone?
There is a saying that a little farewell is better than a newlywed. It has been more than a month since the last time.
Last time I was in a Spanish hotel.

"Take it easy."

Xi Wei Jilian's voice sounded like a mosquito humming. She was very brave when she was outside just now, but now she is a little timid when it comes to things. The main reason is that there are a few tall and strong bodyguards behind her. Look at it, she's not used to this.

"You were the one who shouted first. I'm serious, but you shouted no, do you want it?"

Allen couldn't bear this tone the most. If the other party was always shy, he would show his gentlemanly demeanor in a gentle and gentle manner.

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

She can be regarded as a top student in the posture world, there is nothing she can't do!

Take the technical flow route.

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

The movements of his hands were much more honest, and he hooked his hands to call a bodyguard closest to him and said, "I have a whisper with Ms. Xiwei, you go outside and wait for me for a while."

The bodyguard looked at Alan's eyes and smiled. He and Alan were comrades-in-arms of different classes. As an outsider, that's all.

The bodyguard looked at Xi Wei Ji Lian who was huddled in Allen's arms again, turned around and took out a small blanket from the disinfection cabinet and said: "Your Excellency, the air conditioner here is relatively large, you wear a blanket, don't catch a cold , let me look at the window for you again."

The bodyguard pointed out the window, watching an opera, some people wear binoculars in order to see more clearly!

This.
If someone peeps at you from the other side, it will disgrace your reputation!
The bodyguard didn't wait for Alan's consent at all, so he called a few bodyguards together, held a bracket, blocked the window, took out a few blankets and hung them on the bracket, and completely closed the viewing window of the box on the side close to Alan.

Block it tightly.

After doing all this, he saluted Allen with a slight stroke on his chest, and smiled and blinked by the way.

"Ha ha!"

Allen waved his hand, these bodyguards are considered sensible, and they will be given a raise when they go back!

The performance started at 04:30 and lasted until six o'clock, when Allen called the bodyguard who had been waiting outside the door to come in.

As soon as the upright bodyguard entered the private room, he subconsciously sniffed, and a strong fishy smell permeated the entire private room.

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

Your Excellency Allen was slumped on the sofa, and his clothes were not messed up. Ms. Sylvia Gulian gently touched one leg to the ground, and knelt on the armrest of the sofa with one leg, gently rubbing the temples of His Excellency Allen.

Allen was in no mood to watch the performance in the theater, he was a little tired.

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

Thankfully it was Sylvie Guillain.

If it were another person today, the research would definitely not be so thorough, Xi Wei Ji Lian is soft!
She can shrink into a ball and hang on Allen.

Even so, it doesn't affect her to move on her own.

This is the benefit of having technology!

Twisting his neck, the small hands pressed on his temples moved to his neck very sensiblely, helping Alan massage his neck, and between changing hands, he conveniently stuffed a grape into Alan's mouth.

I thought that I was going to study the project together at night after watching the performance, but now I haven't seen the performance, and the project has been studied halfway, and I have to continue to study in the evening.

For a while, Allen felt a little guilty.

The ballet dancer has good physical strength!
If Monica was like this in normal times, she would have been paralyzed long ago. Unlike Xi Wei Ji Lian, who can give her a massage after studying the project, this bitch is not small!

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

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

"Master, what's the matter with you? Didn't you go to the show?"

"Bad luck! The Frenchman is too powerful!"

Allen left a sentence, and without giving Huth time to think, he got into the car by himself.

Yesterday afternoon, it was okay when I was at the opera house, the space was limited, and Master Allen did not take off his armor, but it was not good when we returned to the hotel at night.

As soon as he took off his armor, Xi Wei Ji Lian saw the scar on his back.

Although most of the two densely packed scratches had scabbed over, it could still be seen that they were new wounds. Seeing this scene, Xi Wei Ji Lian felt a little jealous.

as a result of
As a result, Alan felt his body was hollowed out.
How many years has he not felt this way?

I feel that when I come back this time, I have to ask Master Zong to study food supplements, and to replenish the body quickly, so as not to fall into the root of the disease or something.

On the way home, Huth looked at his young master's tired face, thought for a while and said: "The islanders have already started to investigate the information of the film and television company."

"Um"

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

Fearing that Allen would be worried, Huth 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, the target of their acquisition in the United States is Columbia Pictures.

It's the one that holds the torch, the goddess in very cool clothes, standing there with a smile.

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

It has studios, distribution companies and other departments.

The biggest big head is that they hold more than 4000 film copyrights in their hands.

Sounds bluffing!

But Allen also holds the copyrights of nearly [-] movies in his hands now.

They are all rubbish movies, who doesn't have them!
Some movies can be traced back to the First World War. The copyright of such rubbish movies can be obtained for as low as a few hundred pounds, and the most expensive one is just over [-], and the proportion is very small.

If you have to compare the two sides.

Columbia owns a studio, and so does Allen.

The American town he built can also be regarded as a studio.

The crew members are the studio employees.

Columbia Pictures has a video tape production line, and Allen also has one. Although the scale is not as large as the other party, there is one!
He is enough.

In terms of influence, Columbia Pictures can be regarded as one of the few major film and television companies in Hollywood, but Earl Pictures in the 21st Century also covers a large area.

Regardless of the size of those subsidiaries, there are facade offices and film and television productions everywhere.

This scattered subsidiaries spread throughout the Commonwealth of Nations.

Everyone is theoretically half-baked.

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

The 21st Century Earl Films is in the hands of Allen.

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

But Allen's side is different. They only need to buy half of it. This is a partnership between everyone.

The meaning is different.

Compared with Americans, if there is no choice, Sony's people will of course prefer Americans, after all, it is a Hollywood film and television company.

But with extra choices, the opponent is still an earl, and his influence seems to be not small, mainly because the prospects look good.

The market value of Columbia Pictures, based on what Allen's men have found out, will not reach a billion dollars.

But this is based on the current stock price. If the islanders really want to buy them all at once, the Coca-Cola people will not cheat him for several times the price. Alan writes his name upside down!
Although I don't remember how much Sony's acquisition of Columbia Pictures ended up costing.

But Allen judges others by himself. If the people of Coca-Cola opened their mouths, it would be reasonable to double the price, right?

20 billion U.S. dollars, and this has to be added to the debt of Columbia Pictures.

A few years ago, this company suffered a lot. If it wasn't for the loss, they would not have been taken over by Coca-Cola.

With the addition of here and there, the price has reached 40 billion U.S. dollars.

As for Allen's film and television company, it cut off half of its shares, and it was only [-] billion pounds.

Although it is not a lot when converted into US dollars, but compared with Columbia Pictures, it seems to be very cost-effective and sincere.

They are all deceiving people, Coca-Cola can deceive him, but I, Master Allen, can't?
With Sony's financial strength, if they really care about influence, in order to gain fame, they can completely buy Allen's film and television company, and then turn around and continue to buy Columbia Pictures.

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

Sony has the financial resources!
Right now, these investigations are formal procedures, and Allen is not afraid of investigations at all. His things are not fake, they are all real, but the price has been inflated by "billion points".

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

Interlacing is like a mountain. If you want to enter a new industry, how can you do it without paying some tuition fees?
If you don't pay tuition fees, how can you better get the friendship of Your Excellency Allen?
After a 10-minute drive, Allen regained his strength in the car.

When he got out of the car, his expression was normal. Sony's acquisition team lived in the manor for the past few days, but Alan hadn't appeared since watching a rough-cut version of the new movie with Kubo Tanaka on the first day.

He wanted to show that he didn't care too much. He didn't know much about the operation, so he just left it to the professionals under him. If he did it well, he would be rewarded, and if he didn't do it well, he would be punished!
It's that simple.

"Master, I'm back!"

Old Carl accompanied the maid who delivered the meal, and only came to Alan's study at night.

Allen nodded, glanced at Old Carl, sniffed, and a smell of pepper permeated the entire study.

"What is this?"

The maid pushed the dining car closer, first put a small alcohol stove on Alan's desk, then brought a small casserole in front of Alan, lifted the lid and said, "Young master, didn't you ask Master Zong to do some medical treatment for you?" Meal? This is it."

What kind of medical meal? Where do these silly foreigners know about food supplements? They just know how to eat mummies.

Allen waved away the maid with a look of disgust, picked up the spoon and glanced at Old Carl to signal him to sit first.

"Master, are you injured?"

Old Carl was more alert. He frowned just now when the maid said words like medical meal.

"Ahem. It's not that you're injured. You don't understand what it's called."

Allen lowered his head and looked at the stewed turtle the size of a plate in the small pot. This thing should be called Dabutang, right?
His little pet, Xiao Huang, probably smelled it, stood up with spread his wings, and moved towards the pot.

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

After taking two sips of the soup, cover the pot first, and let the soup simmer for a while, then Allen pulled out the information sent by Old Carl from the table with one hand, pointed to the information and said, "I took a rough look, what's the situation?" .”

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

Having said that, Old Carl made a gesture, making an OK sign with his left hand, and then put his right index finger into the O on his left hand and pulled it out.

"Jews?"
