England 1986

Chapter 176 The Chosen Unlucky Egg

Taking a breath, he picked up the teacup on the bedside table and took a sip of water.

Sweating all over, every time in this situation, Allen doesn't like to take a bath immediately, he likes the feeling of his heartbeat slowly calming down, and the sweat slowly drying on his body.

Leaning on the head of the bed, Allen changed the topic.

It is not suitable for Julian to know too much about the topics of William. Everyone lives in a different environment. Knowing too much about this kind of thing is not good for her, and Ellen doesn't want to talk to her too much.

Stretching out his hand and slowly stroking Julian's back, he said, "You used to make TV dramas, did TV drama actors get paid well?"

"After paying the tax, there is actually not much left. In addition, I can't always receive TV dramas. Even if I earn more than ordinary office workers, the window period is too long."

Julian Moore slowly curled up next to Allen and told him about the current situation of TV actors in the United States.

Whether it was before or now, Allen has never had much contact with TV dramas. His best projects before were online movies.

Although movies and TV shows belong to the same film and television industry, the difference is actually very big.

Whether it's the way of making money, the way of distribution, or even the awards they participate in, they are all different.

But from Julian Moore's narration, Allen keenly discovered that the current TV series seem to be more interesting.

Don't talk about anything else, let's just talk about influence. Although movies these days are also very influential, TV dramas are broadcast through TV, and their influence is no worse than movies!
Even, a little beyond.

These days, some people may not like to go to the cinema to watch movies frequently, but TV sets, as long as they are not unemployed bankrupts, basically most people in developed countries such as Britain and the United States have TVs at home.

In addition to radio, television is now the most important mode of receiving information and home entertainment.

In the era of Allen's previous life, he basically couldn't watch TV a few times a year.

In addition to computers, most people have smart phones, and they can watch whatever they want on their mobile phones. At that time, it has evolved into the era of major online video platforms.

The old entertainment method of TV with fixed time and fixed programs has been resisted by many people.

Who can stand the pain of missing a TV show when something happens suddenly?
Or watching a show on TV, suddenly want to go to the toilet, or something urgent.

So. Smartphones are still convenient.

But aren't there no smartphones now?

The entire mobile phone industry has only developed to the second generation of mobile phones, and 2G networks have not yet become popular.

It takes a lot of effort to make a phone call with this thing, let alone entertainment.

but.
Now there is an industry that is more convenient and more profitable than the future online video platform.

Rental and sale of videotapes!
Many people are used to renting a few video tapes, or buying some newest video tapes to watch at home.

Let alone this kind of business now, it will not be outdated even in a few decades.

Moreover, there is another advantage of things like video tapes, which can prevent pirated copies!

As long as the videotapes are not particularly expensive, the cost of piracy can be very high.

For example, for example, the cost of a genuine video tape is about two pounds, including packaging, transportation, storage, and sales, and when it finally reaches the customer, the price is about 7 to 15 pounds.

The profits here are scary!

There is almost double the profit.

Gritting his teeth, if the cost is further reduced and the selling price is controlled, the price of each video tape can be reduced to less than 10 pounds.

Now, if you go to a movie theater to watch a movie, a movie ticket costs 2 or 3 pounds.

Going to the cinema to see a movie is a one-off.

If the price of video tapes is lowered a bit, you only need to spend two or three times more than watching a movie to buy a video tape. After you take it home, you can watch it repeatedly and have a certain collection value.

Moreover, the release of movies is time-sensitive, and the time is about one to two months. After the movie is off the shelves, wait for a while, and the video tapes can be sold for a long time.

Every time a video tape is sold, it is equivalent to earning three or four box office fees for going to the theater to watch a movie, and this is still not shared with the distributor!
And in a video tape, only one movie is recorded, and the audience will be fine after buying it.

What if it's a TV show?

To be more insane, only one episode of the TV series is recorded in a video tape, and the entire thirty or forty episodes of the TV series will be released.
The sales of the video tapes can increase several times in a straight line!
According to Allen's own understanding, if he operates TV dramas in the same way as movies, then he will have more time, and the project will be bigger and more secretive. Even if there are problems with the drama series, it will be very convenient to adjust. In the early stage, it was filming and broadcasting. If the audience feedback is not good, the broadcast will be stopped immediately!

In this way, an unfinished TV drama project will be obtained, and after some operation, it will be a book of big losses and special losses.
Theoretically speaking, for him, making TV dramas, no matter whether the feedback is good or bad, he can make money, and he can earn more than making movies!
Um.
It's a bit tricky, isn't that BBC host——Ceylon wants to leave his job and enter the industry like a producer?

After a while, when she comes to join her, ask her to investigate again, then make plans and shoot a TV series to test the waters.

Waiting to think about it, watching Alan take a rest for a while, staring at Julian who was in a daze, and gently drawing circles on Alan's chest with his fingers, the bigger and bigger the drawing, the lower and lower the drawing.

It's getting late, let's get to work.

"Boom!"

"dong dong dong"

"what!"

"Stop! Harry, don't run!"

"Dong dong dong."

Early the next morning, Alan was in a daze, as if he heard the noise of children playing, and as he became more and more awake, the noise of fighting became louder.

How long has it been since you were woken up so early in the morning?
Squinting his eyes, he sat on the edge of the bed, rang the bell, and the outside door was pushed open.

The servant hadn't come in yet, but the two brats came in first.

"Cousin? Why don't you get up now?"

"???"

Allen looked at the clock on the wall of the bed in a daze, and it was only ten past eight in the morning!
For him, this time is about four or five o'clock in the morning. If there is no accident, who can get up at such an early time?

He pulled the blanket to cover Julian next to him.

Allen stood up yawning in a bathrobe, and William followed Allen treacherously. After leaving the bedroom, he whispered: "Cousin, is that your girlfriend?"

"no!"

"It's not your girlfriend, so why is she here?"

"."

Facing the boundless curiosity of the bear kid, Allen was not ready to satisfy him.

"Why do you ask so many questions! What are you doing up so early in the morning? Have you practiced your sword?"

Looking at the mental heads of the two bear children, it has been obvious for a while. Whose children get up at six or seven o'clock?
It is normal for us in Wales to get up at eight or nine o'clock!
After staring at the two brats for a long time, Alan, who was a little annoyed, asked someone to change the armor of the two little princes. Today, Master Alan will personally teach the two little princes swordsmanship!
At four o'clock in the afternoon, after another shot was shot, Allen turned around and went back to the bus first, and then asked the servant to call Luc Besson and Cameron.

While the servant was calling for someone, Allen dragged William out of the bus.

"Go there by yourself and play for a while. After a while, there will be a fat man and a thin man. After getting into the bus, you will come back and don't talk to them."

"What?"

William held the game console in his hand and looked at Allen warily.

"?"

"What are you asking? If you ask again, your game console will be confiscated!"

Allen pointed to the game console in William's hand and threatened.

"Okay." Although he didn't know why his cousin asked him to come out for a while and then go in later, anyway, William still understood the reason why people had to bow their heads under the eaves.

"Luke! Sit!"

Allen looked at his two assistant directors. Recently, they didn't have much room for expression. Now they were called to the bus alone and invited them to have afternoon tea together.

"Your Excellency? Are you looking for me?"

Luc Besson had some doubts on his chubby face. Recently, this guy seems to have started to grow a beard again, with a beard all over his face.

Allen first gave Cameron next to him a calm look, then took out an invitation from a small drawer and handed it to Luc Besson: "My movie last year was shortlisted for this year's Cannes Film Festival. Film festival, when the time comes, you go to the awards ceremony."

The last "Deep Water" was the so-called Christmas gift to the American people, and it was very popular not only in the United States, but also in the entire European film festival.
It can't be said that this movie is a big hit in the European film industry, but among the movies that can be released in theaters openly, this one can be regarded as a big hit.

European audiences don't have so many demands on Allen.

First of all, the protagonist of the film is an American, and the background of the story is also in the United States.

European audiences don't care what the Americans are like at all. They watch this movie just to watch it as a surprise.

then
After watching the movie, I can only secretly click my tongue for the Yankee lifestyle in the movie.

As long as you know how to play, you have to watch Yankee, what a movie that is close to life
Allen's "Deep Water" received excellent reviews in Europe!

Strike while the iron is hot, Allen has had Patrice up and running since March.

Still according to the established plan, if you don't want the big prize, you can get a few small prizes and pack it up so that Master Alan can sell the video tapes!

The film festival that Patrice is most familiar with, apart from those in the UK, is the Cannes Film Festival in France.

This time, Patrice came forward and did not disappoint Allen, and got a small award—a kind of attention award.

The name of this award is very strange, but since its birth in 72, it has attracted more and more attention in recent years.

The core of this award is that niche, new directors have different styles.

"Deep Water" has all these characteristics.

It can be regarded as "real name".

Because of last year's financial crisis, this year's Cannes Film Festival has also been affected to a certain extent, and the holding time has been postponed for more than half a month. It was postponed from the time it was supposed to be held in mid-May to the end of May.

"I'm going to the awards ceremony?"

Luc Besson is a little confused, what can he do?
Is Patrice less famous?Or is Master Allen too lazy to go?
How long has he been in Your Excellency Allen's film and television company, and this will arrange business trips for him?
"My lord, I'm going to the awards ceremony, what did I say?"

"Just say a few words, I don't care about these."

"."

"By the way, you can go back and see your family. Pack up your things and go back tomorrow. I'll wait for your good news!"

"cousin!"

William, who had just gotten into the car, glanced at the fat man and the little golden retriever next to him. Since Alan didn't let him and you two talk, he pretended not to see him, greeted Alan and went to the private room at the back.

Following William's greeting, Luc Besson's eyes became straight. He had noticed the two children staying beside Allen in the past few days, one big and one small. Because they were far away, they I didn't pay attention to the specific looks of the two children.

At first he thought it was a small group performance some time ago.

After such a close contact today, Luc Besson finally saw the face of this big boy!

Isn't this Prince William?

Why is he here?And it's been here for a few days? !
He glanced at Cameron, who was also bewildered next to him, and looked at Alan who didn't mention the matter. Luc Besson could only suppress his curiosity and didn't ask much.

After explaining a few more minor problems, he sent his Second General Humha to work, staring at the backs of the two of them getting out of the car, Allen chuckled.

He still strictly controls the news around him.

As for the paparazzi, let alone foreign ones, no one dares to take pictures without permission, even in the place where the paparazzi originated in Daying, not even secretly!

In this way, Allen is safe, but if there is an emergency, it will be more troublesome to expose it.

We all know that he is relatively safe here, if some tabloid suddenly publishes a news about him being with William and Harry, it will look fake!
Maybe Charles will misunderstand that he deliberately exposed the news.

This way of playing was first ruled out by Allen, and he couldn't find a local reporter to expose it, and he couldn't seem very deliberate!

But now that William and Harry are in his hands, Allen wants the outside world to know that these two little princes are currently following him.

so what should I do now?
This kind of news can only be exposed through some people who say it unintentionally!

As for this certain person, Allen picked the unlucky Luc Besson.

Let him go back to China to attend the awards ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival, as long as he attends, the rest will be up to him.

Allen doesn't know how the French media feels about other members of the British royal family.

But they only have great senses for Diana!

When the time comes to arrange a babysitter, when interviewing Luc Besson, I will deliberately bring it here.

As long as he utters a little news, Allen's goal will be achieved.

He now wants the outside world to know exactly that William and Harry are with him, and they have been for a while!

I believe that as long as you are not too stupid, you will be able to understand the deeper meaning of this.

For no reason, why didn't the two princes go home, but stayed by Alan's side, let alone playing together for a short day, and staying together for so many days, is there any other situation?
