England 1986

Chapter 66 Is it still too late to apply?
Patrice was a little embarrassed. He could even arrange the work of his family, so he followed His Excellency the Earl. Now he asked Butler Huth to do these things.

"No, no, sir, just help me arrange a place to live. Do I need to resign from my school?"

Although he has a certain understanding of the nobility, Patrice found that some of his previous understanding of the nobility seemed to be a little off, and now he is not sure, so he can only ask the professionals in front of him.

"No! Remember, you have your own business, you just do it. The young master will only call you when he needs you. You can usually go back to the manor or to your own home, but you need to report every week. Prepare."

"in addition."

Huth made a gesture to signal Patrice to follow him, and by the way, took out a black card from the wallet in his arms and handed it to Patrice.

"You take this card. This is not a bank card. It has my information and the logo of the Hill family on it. If you encounter troubles outside in the future, or problems that you cannot solve, just show this card and report to you. Your name and title will do, for the entire Commonwealth of Nations."

Patrice took the card in a daze. The black card was covered with strange patterns of golden patterns. It looked extremely delicate, a bit like a bank's magnetic card, but as Butler Huth said, this is not a bank card. On the front is an overall topographic map of Carmarthenshire with a huge Hill family crest in the middle, very domineering!
The following row of letters roughly means "exemption card".

Simple and crude.

On the back of the card, Huth's information is printed in detail. His position is the butler of the Earl of Carmarthen of the Hill family, and there is also a landline.

For those who hold this card, in the entire Commonwealth, as long as there is an accident, even if it is a murder, the police only have the right to inquire, not to deal with it, and the first time they see this card, they must first contact Huth Ministry of Stewardship and Noble Affairs.

It depends on the owner's intention to beat the dog a little bit.

Patrice, who saw this kind of thing for the first time, took the card and looked at it repeatedly. This is just a card issued by the housekeeper, and it has such a function.

What if Butler Huth himself?

He is not only a butler, he is also a jazz, what kind of card will he use?
What about the Earl?
This is a bit beyond his cognition, and he can't imagine it at all.

But to sum up everything, this is the power of the nobles. They seem to be very low-key, and they can't participate in some modern government affairs, but this kind of situation where they will receive preferential treatment everywhere, can ordinary people imagine?

They can't even see it!
I visited my office and the rest room, and had dinner in the cafeteria.

Patrice couldn't wait to see Allen again.

He wanted to quickly show his ability.

Follow the maid all the way to the physical therapy room on the second floor, and open the door.

At the gate, there was a piano, and a tape recorder was placed on the piano, and soothing music was playing in the tape recorder.

Going further inside, there is a massage table, and Allen is lying face down on the bed, and the physical therapist is massaging his back.

"Master?"

"Ok?"

Allen raised his head slowly. Today's masseuse was a little too strong, making him grin. Seeing Patrice's cautious call, he pointed to the sofa closest to him, motioning him to sit down and said.

"Help me press my spine, lightly, um-hmm, just this strength is enough, what's wrong Patrice?"

Allen adjusted his posture slightly and lay on his stomach with his face sideways.

"Master. I just reviewed this movie again, and I have some immature suggestions that I need to report to you."

"Well, say it!"

Patrice looked at Allen, then at the physical therapist, and moved the single sofa forward lightly, getting closer to the massage bed, then took out his notebook and tentatively asked: "Master What is your goal in making this movie? For the box office? Or."

"Hasn't Hoot told you yet?"

"No"

Allen opened his eyes slightly, and glanced at Patrice who was sitting very close.

"For a certain amount of fame, of course making money is also the purpose, and there are other small reasons. When Sifis comes over these few days, he will explain it to you in detail. In short, in this movie, you can't just use male Instead, we need to change our minds and look at it from a woman’s perspective.”

"understand!"

Watching Allen close his eyes again and enjoy the massage, Patrice gritted his teeth and said, "Master, actually, if you want to make money at the box office, we hope this movie won't be too big. The best result is profit, but The box office won’t make too much profit, but if you look at it purely from the perspective of profit, if you want to continue to develop in this direction in the future, you might as well get in touch with subsidized films.”

"?"

Allen, who had just closed his eyes, became interested again.

I heard a new word for the first time today, subsidized film?
What the hell is a subsidy?

Seeing the doubt in Allen's eyes, Patrice breathed a sigh of relief. As the earl's personal consultant, he wanted to quickly demonstrate his ability.

"Master, the so-called subsidized films are all called within the Film and Television Association and the propaganda department, and ordinary directors cannot get in touch, but as you, not only can you get in touch, you can even apply for the largest amount of subsidy! For example, all production costs are reimbursed, or even part of the box office is arranged."

"Oh?"

When Allen heard this, he was completely interested, adjusted his posture slightly, put his left hand under his chest, raised his upper body, and looked at Patrice slightly on his stomach and asked: "The production cost of millions of pounds can also be reimbursed." ?!"

"Yes! Anything higher than this can do it!"

Patrice nodded firmly.

"Details! Is it too late to apply for our movie?"

The production costs of version A and version B have now reached more than 110 million pounds. It's not that Allen doesn't save money, but that this is considered to be two movies. He can reduce the cost to this level, which is already considered good!
Coupled with the fact that the newly formed team has little experience, and some places have spent some unreasonable money, after piecemeal calculations, he now only has hundreds of thousands of pounds in liquidity on hand.

Now it's the first time I heard that this thing can be reimbursed, so of course I'm interested.

"Uh, this film probably won't be able to be applied for. The subsidized film has to be applied for before the project is approved, and it has never been filmed before it is applied for."

"."

Hearing that the film could not be applied for, Allen seemed to lose interest. He reached out his hand on the plate in front of him, picked up a strawberry and stuffed it into his mouth, put down his left hand on his chest, and lay down again.

"Tell me about this, how does the subsidy work?"

Although it doesn't work this time, Alan is a little disappointed, but let's find out, it will work next time.

Patrice frowned, thought for a while and said, "Let me give you an example, young master, do you know Xiangjiang?"

"where?"

"Xiangjiang! From Huaguo."
