England 1986

Chapter 67

I know this all too well!

Allen blinked, how could he have anything to do with Xiangjiang when it comes to subsidy films?
"I know it's there, but I've never been there."

"Like this overseas colony, above"

Patrice pointed upwards and continued vaguely: "Every year, a large sum of funds is specially approved to make subsidized films. The content of this type of film is very complicated, but the purpose is very simple."

Allen frowned. He didn't quite understand what Patrice said, but he didn't want to ask in detail, so he motioned for Patrice to continue.

"Master, have you seen the movie in Xiangjiang, the older movie?"

"Well, I seem to have seen it, but I haven't seen much, what's the matter?"

Patrice showed a smile on his face, and whispered: "Actually, their old movies are all in the language they call the national language, but they were later asked to shoot in dialect. If they don't obey, they will be in the box office Go online, or crack down on them in the review process!"

"???"

What does this have to do with supplements?
Allen was a little confused.

Seeing Allen's confusion, Patrice continued: "Young master. This is the essence of subsidized films. The higher ups need to use movies as a promotional channel to slowly change their culture, or..."

His right hand became a knife, and he made a chopping gesture downwards.

Patrice raised his eyebrows and said: "As long as the language barrier is slowly formed, it will not happen overnight if you want to get closer. Once a tradition is formed, it will be very difficult to change it!"

"Just like the English spoken by Americans and the English we speak, there are differences in the pronunciation of many phrases. This is deliberately caused by the Americans. This is to create a distance and artificially create a gap."

"And the above-mentioned films that create differences in language or cultural concepts and create differences in various places are for the purpose of maintaining our local rule and regional stability. Such films are considered subsidized films and have no bright side. The name above, but secretly, there are subsidies!"

"!!!"

shit
Allen's eyes widened slightly. This was the first time he had heard of it, and there was such a thing.

Although Patrice's expression was a bit vague, he understood it. It probably meant that in the old Xiangjiang movies, the actors in the dialogue used Mandarin, but later they gradually changed to Cantonese.

That's probably what it means.

Although Cantonese is one of the dialects, the distribution of Cantonese is limited.

Isn't this intentionally creating regional estrangement?

The British guy is really a shit-stirring stick, he does this everywhere, and there is a subsidy behind the scenes!
Really Nima Yin ah.

"This thing, who is responsible for each region?"

"The governor is in charge! Sometimes, the country will send commissioners to assist in the management."

"!!!"

Sure enough, an old man in a family is like a treasure. As soon as the old guy Patrice came, he told Alan this secret.

If it were an ordinary film and television producer, how would they know these things?
"Then the direction we can go in the future you said is that you want me to go to Xiangjiang to make a movie? To make this so-called subsidized movie?"

"No, no, no, you misunderstood. I watched your film and found that the production team is rough, and Xiangjiang is full of film talents. If you need it, you can go there to recruit a group of people, and then invest in any film and television project." For the project, by manipulating the accounts, in your capacity, you will definitely be able to apply for a large amount of subsidy funds."

I underestimated you, Patrice.

Allen didn't expect that the little old man in front of him had such a dark heart.

According to his mode of operation, he went to Xiangjiang to recruit several teams, invested about [-] pounds, and made a so-called subsidized film.

Then apply for a subsidy to falsely report the accounts, and then apply for a subsidy of 30 to [-] pounds, it is simply easy.

After a year like this, if he invests in five or six movies, he can retain nearly a million pounds in the middle!
This is no longer small money.

But
Fearing that Tesla is limited by his identity and perspective, this can only be his personal opinion.

Allen definitely couldn't do this.

First of all
Emotionally, he can't do it. Although he has traveled so far, he hasn't been back. As time goes by, his surface is more and more suitable for the thinking of the British aristocracy.

But in his heart, he still has his own ideas. He used to want to wait until the funds are sufficient in the future, go back and make some investments, build a factory or something, don't ask for more money, at least make some contributions.

Let him do this secretly now, he will not be able to pass the test in his heart.

Second
This kind of subsidy, in Patrice's opinion, is not a small amount, but when it comes to Allen, he is a majestic British hereditary earl, and he needs to play this kind of deception to make money?

At that time, he would rather have a black duck plan. Although such a plan is not on the table, it is at least a serious business!

But there are too many people who have dealt with such things as cheating on subsidies. Once exposed, he will be ashamed and embarrassing!

"Okay. I know about this, Patrice, when you think about it in the future, don't think about it from the perspective of the past. Let's talk about the subsidy film later, but we can recruit some professionals in Xiangjiang after a while. talent, yes."

Speaking of Xiangjiang, since that place is far away from Great Britain, and it is a special place, there is also a governor. If he wants to go to recruit people, he can directly contact the governor of Hong Kong, which is much more convenient than bringing people directly there.

"Who is the current governor of Hong Kong?"

"what?"

Patrice watched Allen turn from being interested to not interested in a blink of an eye. He didn't understand what went wrong with his plan, and then heard what Allen said later.

"Master, there is no Hong Kong governor in Xiangjiang now."

"???"

"There is no Governor? Where is the Governor?"

At this moment, Allen even wondered if he was in 1987 now.

"The Governor of Hong Kong died of illness last month. The new Governor of Hong Kong, the Queen has not yet issued an edict, so... the current vacancy is temporary, don't you know?"

Looking at Patrice with a puzzled face, combined with the time, last month?

Last month, he was filming during the day and had to personally guide Meryl's acting skills at night. How could he have time to care about whether a broken Hong Kong governor is dead or not? !
Why?etc.
Allen suddenly realized that it is a good thing that there is no Hong Kong governor now.

Although I don't want to work hard on subsidy films.

But he can work hard in other areas. Where is making money not making money?
The appointment of the new Governor of Hong Kong will not be delayed for too long. With Daying's efficiency, how late can it be three or four months?
That is to say, at the latest in April, the new Governor of Hong Kong will appear, and in a region, when a new official takes office, he must deal with a lot of relationships and things, or if the prestige is unstable, there will be many changes. .

But what if Allen went over to give the unknown new governor a platform in person?
At that time, his new movie will almost be released, and the domestic public opinion will be more or less critical. He can take the opportunity to go out and hide, and treat it as a trip.

A former hereditary earl of the British mainland personally stood up for the Governor of Hong Kong. Even if he has no rights, as long as Allen appears in Xiangjiang, he can help the new Governor of Hong Kong solve many invisible troubles.

That helped you so much, and I, Allen, made some small pounds by the way, isn't it reasonable?
