England 1986

Chapter 61 Finished
Meryl looked at Ellen who was walking towards her while taking off.

It feels a little magical.

She just took a play and came to Wales.

Then I met this gentleman.

Theoretically speaking, the relationship between the two is considered close now, but Meryl feels that in this Your Excellency's heart, he probably doesn't think so.

As soon as she arrived in Gambia today, those Allen's bodyguards also knew her, but before she entered this room, the bodyguards had to search her body with instruments, and even her bag had to be searched.

But it would be wrong to say that Allen only thinks with his lower body like those Hollywood producers or directors.

He is very work-minded, and he can let go of everything right now. After work, he treats her fairly peacefully. Although Meryl doesn't know that Alan still owes a huge amount of foreign debt, she feels that Alan is a For those who have a very clear distinction between work and life, maybe this is the way of life of nobles like them.

Thinking of all this, Allen grabbed her ankle with his hand, lifted it up violently, and pressed her entire leg against her chest.

He took a strange pose.

The shots that need to be shot in the entire Gambia are extremely simple. The original shooting plan was to reduce the number of scenes shot here as much as possible.

In just two days, all the shots were shot.

Before Allen left, he wanted to take Spencer back with him, but this "uncle of the country" has recently become obsessed with black pearls and cannot extricate himself.

I had no choice but to go back to Carmarthen with the filmed film and Meryl.

"Master, the journey has been hard. Did you enjoy your trip to Gambia this time?"

When Hut saw Allen, he glanced at Meryl who was radiant beside him, and made a little joke.

"It's okay, the living conditions over there are too bad."

He lowered his head and sat in the car. Huth sat in the co-pilot and waited for the car to start before he began to report the situation.

"Hughes made an appointment to visit you tomorrow. In addition, Luca, the member of the regional council, wants to visit you."

"Luca?"

Hearing this name, Allen frowned and thought for a while, as if he had never even heard of this name.

"Yes, master. He used to be from Fox's side. He may have got the news now. He can't sit still and wants to visit you."

Huth sat sideways and glanced at another passenger in the back seat—Meryl.

Such words, logically speaking, she shouldn't be allowed to hear them, but now she couldn't understand them because of the vagueness.

"Oh, let's leave it alone, don't pay attention to him, I don't care about the things here, and I don't want to get involved."

Such a little bastard, without a master, is like a lost dog, whoever loves it will want it.

What Allen is thinking about now is Hughes. This guy is really good at doing things. It has been a few months before he came to him. The security department seems to have fallen, and he is not active in making money!

With such efficiency, when will my Great Britain be prosperous and strong?
"Okay, understand."

In his notebook, Huth crossed out all the matters related to Congressman Luca, and began to report other matters.

In the study room, after taking a shower, Allen was wearing a bathrobe and looking at the financial statement on the desk. These are all the items that need to be paid for the crew in the early stage, and one of them is the salary of the employees.

Actors are also considered employees, and their salary is also included in this.

As we all know, the taxation of actors' remuneration is very serious, and in some regions, it can be as high as more than half.

Even if part of it can be exempted through reasonable tax avoidance, the rest is not too much in the end. If it can be [-] to [-]%, it is considered good.

But Allen's operation is relatively simple and rude.

Nobility has its benefits.

The staff of the crew, no matter what type or occupation they are, are paid a minimum of 10 pounds, and there are no other subsidies!
Even actors are paid this amount!

With such a low salary, in this era, under normal circumstances, there are more than this amount of beggars.

But this is only on the surface. It is convenient for them to pay taxes. Can't they not give a penny?
So what should the British tax department do?Everyone should save face for each other.

Allen gave the rest of the reward through tipping!

The aristocratic master gives rewards to his employees, that is, tips, so he can't come to collect taxes, right?
As the dignified Earl of Great Britain, it is reasonable to give a little bit more reward, right?
In this way, the large sum of money that Rex obtained by squeezing the Koreans has a place to go. It's all cash and there is no tax. Who doesn't like it?
His method of operation not only saves himself money, but only needs to reward the pre-tax remuneration lower than the market price, so that the actors can get the after-tax remuneration far higher than the market price, which is beneficial to both parties.

It can further compress the production cost of a movie.

Sign this financial statement in the name of rewarding and clear, and affix your own private seal.

All the pre-production expenses of the crew this time are considered to be the same.

In the post-production, the editor was already working overtime, and Allen picked up another proposal, which caused him some headaches.

In this era, it was the first time that he organized the crew and projects by himself, and he couldn't take care of many places.

There are some things that he has never experienced in his previous life, or he can't do everything.

Like advertising!
Although his movie is secretly a large-scale promotional film for his industry, on the bright side, there are no advertisements for other products in the entire movie.

Allen didn't think about it at the time, but now he regrets it a little bit. Small money is money. If you order some small advertisements such as drinks, hotels, cars, etc., the total can add up to about one hundred thousand pounds. This is not small money!

In addition, I am still busy with a series of post-production matters, such as dubbing, distribution, publicity and so on.

Although the people below helped him plan these, their grass-headed crew had never done this before and lacked systematic operating experience.

"Hmm." He smacked his lips, took a sip of tea from the teacup next to him, put down the teacup, Alan rang the bell, saw the maid pushed open the study door, and explained, "Call the physical therapist to massage my head." ,I'm a little tired!"

"Good sir!"

The physical therapist at home is usually responsible for giving Alan a massage to relax, this is a serious massage, very professional.

When the physical therapist put his hands on Alan's temples and kneaded him gently, Alan, who was slightly relieved, gradually cleared his mind.

Sharpening knives does not miss woodcutters.

Allen believes in entrusting professional matters to professional people. Now he is a little bit powerless for many film and television distribution tasks, so he needs to find another professional to help him plan and fill in the gaps for him.

Anyway, such a talent will be used in the future, pull the rattle and call Huth again.

"Go and find out if there are any old guys in the Film and Television Association who are more utilitarian. I want those with strong professional skills, especially those who specialize in post-production, operation, or have a relatively wide network. For some film and television awards It would be even better if it worked, and I need to hire a consultant for that."
