The crew started filming quietly without any publicity to the outside world.

Allen secretly increased the film's budget to an insane £20 million.

If this amount of money were to be exposed, Allen would probably become famous not only in the UK but also in the world.

The amount is really huge, and this is not even counting the amount that the islanders will invest. Alan estimates that the people at Sony in this archipelago don’t understand movies, so that old guy Patrice should be able to help him make at least one or two million pounds, right?

What does a total of more than 20 million pounds mean?

Based on this year's sluggish exchange rate, it is almost nearly 30 million US dollars.

If you take this price to Hollywood and work hard, you can make about ten small and medium-budget movies!

If a movie like this was made with such a budget and publicized to the outside world, it would be criticized to death by people who don't know the truth.

…

Holding his beloved cool sterling silver gilt trumpet, Alan was wearing sportswear and a sun cap.

Next to him was a servant dressed in low-key clothes, holding a parasol for him. Not far behind him was a security team of five servants, ready to bring him various cold drinks at any time.

Today's scenes were not shot according to the story flow, but the most difficult ones were shot first.

This is the only chase scene in the film. After the male protagonist kills someone, he is seen by the old man who was following him. The male protagonist wants to kill him to silence him, but the old man drives away and the male protagonist chases him on a bicycle.

Theoretically, a bicycle cannot catch up with a car, but...

This is a movie, so you have to plan for some accidents. The old man was driving while thinking and calling the police.

In the original drama, the old man was using an Apple phone, which was very small. He didn't hold the phone firmly and it fell off. He was steering with one hand and groping down for the phone with the other hand. When he wasn't paying attention, he touched the steering wheel and the car drove into the woods on the side of the road. Then a car accident happened and the car crashed into the river not far from the road.

But now…

There is no smartphone that small, but this kind of plot still needs to be performed, what should I do?

I can only use a mobile phone.

Don’t worry about whether there is a signal in the wild or whether it is a bug, this is how the plot should be arranged anyway.

Allen thought it would be more reasonable to use a cell phone to make the call.

It's normal to drop a mobile phone that big if you can't hold it steadily.

…

Today's stunt scene about a car accident requires off-site support. The stuntman driving the car was recruited by Li Zhi, Allen's "little secretary" in Hong Kong.

Nicknamed Xiao Hei, he is considered to be the most senior expert in car stunts in the Hong Kong and Taiwan film industry.

Let a stuntman of this level cooperate in shooting a stunt shot of a small car rushing off the roadside, and he can do it with ease.

…

"Hey... Your Excellency, when do you think we should start?"

Xiao Hei's voice is very similar to Alan's, both are extremely hoarse, but Xiao Hei has a slightly thick tongue, and his accent is heavier when he speaks English.

But Allen was not as rude to him as he was to the Japanese with an accent. He patted Xiao Hei on the shoulder and said, "Are all the safety measures ready? Check the car again. Don't be anxious. Safety is the most important thing."

"Oh...it's okay, it's okay, sir."

Xiao Hei secretly glanced at the ambulance on standby, as well as the director of Carmarthen Public Hospital and a large number of doctors. He felt that this scene was a bit shocking. It was too grand. It would be enough to park an ambulance. The Earl's posture...

I really want to move all the staff of the entire hospital to the scene.

However, the Earl's action is quite heartwarming. It is rare to see British people who care so much about the safety of their subordinates.

Although he was recruited by Miss Li, Xiao Hei was a little reluctant at first when he heard that he would have to work for the British. He was not from Hong Kong, so he did not have to care too much about the British.

Now that I have met him, I find that this British nobleman is quite authentic. He is indeed very aristocratic and looks very generous. He is a good boss!

…

"Okay then, everyone take your positions and get ready to start!"

Now that the stuntmen were ready, Alan picked up his cool little trumpet and shouted in a pretentious manner.

The camera crew already had experience with one movie, so he didn't need to keep an eye on them all the time. He could just let them shoot. He couldn't see how it was shot on the set anyway. Alan was too lazy to be as tired as he was during the last movie shoot, so he just treated it as fun!

…

The first shot was of the old man driving a car and being chased by the male lead on a bicycle.

The same silver-gray Ford sedan was pulled by an old flatbed truck with the rear fender removed. The elderly actor was a special actor hired from the Actors Guild and was not very famous.

This scene is very simple. He just needs to make some movements with the mobile phone and move the steering wheel slightly, and the camera mounted on the truck can shoot a clip with his face showing.

…

Alan held the telescope and stood far away. This was what Hut had specifically instructed his servants to do.

The young master likes to make movies and have fun, so that’s fine.

Whenever there is a dangerous situation, you must stay away and maintain a safe distance.

When the servants saw that they were going to film this kind of scene, they became very nervous and pulled Alan away. Alan could only watch the crew filming with a telescope.

It can be said that safety work has been taken to the extreme.

"Master...are you thirsty? Do you need something to drink?"

"Don't drink, don't disturb me when I'm working!"

Alan waved his hand and looked at the set intently through the telescope.

The servant next to him looked at the film set a few hundred meters away, and then looked at the camp with a small shed that looked like a small kitchen in the wild, and was a little speechless...

…

“Buzz!”

The silver-gray Ford sedan swerved, knocked down two saplings on the roadside, and then sank into the jungle.

"good!"

After watching the shot being taken, Alan put down the telescope, turned and walked towards the car.

"Drive quickly, I want to go over and take a look."

"Master... let's wait a little longer. In case the vehicle is damaged, it would be too dangerous for you to go over now."

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and open it!"

The driver seemed unmoved and waited for a long time before he stepped on the accelerator and drove more than 200 meters to take Alan to the shooting site.

…

A large group of staff rushed into the woods. There was no river on this side, but the small river was on the other side of the road. At that time, another car would be wasted, and they could just fake a car accident scene.

The scene was a bit messy. There were several layers of thick mats on the concave ground on the side of the road to ensure the safety of the stuntman. Combined with his driving skills, the entire vehicle was not damaged much.

When Allen arrived at the scene, Xiao Hei had already been dragged out of the car. Several doctors were checking Xiao Hei's body with instruments to see if he was injured.

Allen could hear Xiao Hei yelling in unstandard English from a distance: "I, I, I'm really fine, the airbags didn't deploy, it's very simple, don't... don't draw blood."

…

He waved to the photographer.

"How about it?"

"Don't worry, sir. We are fully prepared. We only need one take to do this! It's very exciting. This gentleman's driving skills are amazing."

"Hahaha, that's enough, call it a day, let's get everyone cleaned up!"

Alan rubbed his hands excitedly. After filming this scene, he would set up the scene in the afternoon and shoot a new scene in the evening.

This is Allen's first time shooting a night scene, and he designed the shooting method himself. I am looking forward to it just thinking about it.

…

"What's wrong? You don't look like you have any appetite."

Alan reached out to help Monica tuck the hair behind her ears. When his fingertips ran across Monica's ears, he rubbed her earlobe and gently scratched it with his fingernails.

Just like that, Monica's entire neck turned red.

She couldn't stand Allen's teasing a little bit. These days, Sir Allen would occasionally ask her to have dinner with him, and his behavior was a little ambiguous.

A young, noble, wealthy man, whose appearance was very much in line with her aesthetic standards, cared for her gently, invited her to dinner, and occasionally made some small gestures with his hands.

These little actions are either those disgusting and groping ones, or they are just very serious expressions of concern.

How should I put it, it makes Monica feel like a little sister doted on by her brother, which is very alluring.

But the key point is that Alan did not do anything excessive, not even taking advantage of others verbally. He seemed very gentlemanly.

But such behavior made Monica unable to control herself. She had been teased by Alan these days and even wanted Alan to bully her severely once.

Even just once would be fine. This feeling of being neither up nor down always came to an abrupt end when she was getting flustered. It was really uncomfortable.

Now it's like this again...

She was just a little shy and had no appetite, so Alan was considerate and cared about her. He gently helped her tidy up her hair, fearing that her hair would get on the food.

But this action was even more provocative than the little actions of the past few days, and Monica felt a little panicked again.

She knew some of the unspoken rules in the film crew when filming a movie. Although she had never experienced them, Monica, as a model in the past, had a lot of experience about such things.

She now really wants to be taken advantage of by the noble director in front of her, but this director only flirts and does not take advantage of her!

…

"It's okay, Mr. Allen. I had lunch late and I'm not too hungry now."

Monica's hands were shaking as she spoke and gestured, and her gestures were a little distorted.

"Don't you like me?"

Alan chuckled, grabbed Monica's right hand with some evil interest, and kneaded it carefully.

Monica, whose hand was grabbed by Allen, trembled again. A feeling of being sealed came over her. The Italian had no hands... and could not speak clearly.

She was not used to making gestures with only her left hand.

“No…no…”

Looking at Monica's shy performance, Alan held Monica's right hand with his left hand and gently scratched her fingers with his thumb. European and American women have heavy body hair.

Looking closely, there is some hair on Monica's fingers, which is very inferior to that of Oriental women.

But these little hands were still very tender, and Allen didn't let go after touching them twice. He sat slightly closer to Monica and whispered in her ear, "I'll take you to play something fun tonight, okay?"

"What...what's fun."

Monica stuttered and instinctively asked back, then turned her head and met Alan's gaze.

Those eyes were bright and pure. When they looked at her, there was nothing mixed in them except emotion.

Monica's breathing quickened when Alan looked at her with such affectionate eyes.

…

A grown man, touching a lady's hand, standing so close to her, and talking about fun things to do in the evening, what else could be fun?

Do we need to learn Italian together?

Of course I have to take biology class.

Alan didn't know whether Monica was really innocent or just pretending, but he felt that after flirting for a few days, the time was right.

Master Allen has never failed to win the heart of a woman who has attracted his personal attention and whom he has specially flirted with for a few days.

…

"You'll know in a minute..." The hot air from Alan's nose sprayed on Monica's earlobe because the distance was too close. The hot and itchy feeling made Monica's face even redder.

…

"Grant! Are you into the role now? Do you think of Monica as your wife?"

Siphis put his right hand on Hugh Grant's shoulder and talked as they walked.

"Sir, don't worry, I really treat her as my wife! Now I even feel like I should go make dinner for the kids!"

"Well...very good! But that's not enough. Your Excellency is very particular about the details of the movie. Tonight's scene is very simple. You know, it's just a scene where you are sad alone after finding out that your wife cheated on you. But this kind of one-man show is very difficult to perform. It all depends on the micro-expressions on the actor's face, plus a little bit of music in the later stage."

Ceface explained the play to Hugh Grant in a serious manner. Grant did not dare to neglect it. He listened to Ceface's words seriously and nodded in agreement.

There's nothing I can do, he's the Earl's servant!

He is not someone a commoner can compare to. Such a person is now the deputy director of the crew. Whatever he says is the truth. Even if Hugh Grant is about to be crowned the Best Actor at the Venice Film Festival, we still have to listen!

Because this is in England, in Wales, in Carmarthen!

"Then... Mr. Siphis, what should I do with this scene today?"

Seeing Grant's sincere face, Siphis felt a little bit sorry for him. This kid has known the leading actress for more than half a month, plus the preparations in the past few days, so now he needs to see something real so that he can feel it more deeply.

"Well... Mr. Allen is very knowledgeable in this area. Wait a minute, when you are in position, don't be surprised if you hear any strange noises. Mr. Allen will be staying on the set tonight, and we are filming here. Please keep your voice down so as not to disturb Mr. Allen's rest."

"Sir Allen, are you going to stay overnight on the set?"

Hugh Grant blinked, a little confused, not understanding what this was.

"Yes... and it was in your bedroom in the movie..."

Siphis looked at Grant sincerely and added, "Your Excellency is doing this for your own good. He also wants you to better interpret that emotion. Please don't let your Excellency down."

"ah?"

After hearing what Sifis said, Hugh Grant was even more confused. What did Sir Allen mean by "this is all for his own good"?

For his own good, then...

Why does Sir Allen want to spend the night on the set tonight?
