Going on holiday to North Africa?
Allen just didn't have time to go on vacation with her. Princess Christina wrote to Allen some time ago and wanted to send a team of Spanish chefs to Allen, but Allen decisively refused.
He hates this kind of rich woman behavior!
They always send a team of chefs, and travel by private jet and yacht.
Is this the life people live?
Are you bullying Earl Allen because he has no money?
When I think about the operations I made in Hong Kong some time ago, I made tens of millions of pounds. Not only did I pay the inheritance tax, I even paid off my father's loan.
Ai, now debt-free, had a very brief period of contentment.
but……
All the complacency and self-satisfaction were shattered by this letter from Christina!
Men, they are still rich!
Although Allen still has more than 10 million pounds in his hands, compared with old aristocrat like Christina, he is almost a pauper!
Make money!
Make money!
Don't be complacent!
Alan put down the letter and pulled the bell cord at the head of the bed: "Bring me some letter paper! No... I'll go to the study and write it. Tell the kitchen to make me something to eat. I want to eat stewed beef brisket. Also, give me a cup of coffee without sugar!"
Alan sat up, put on a nightgown and slippers, and under the confused gaze of the maid, he hurriedly said something and got up and walked towards the study.
He wants to make money, but there are many industries that Allen cannot enter.
What should I do about this?
Of course, find the boss!
Putting aside the facts, doesn't Charles have any responsibility at all for the fact that Allen is so poor now?
Now that I have encountered a problem, of course I have to write to Charles.
…
Taking out the special letter paper, Alan thought for a long time, picked up the pen and wrote a beginning.
"My dear prince, it's been over a month since I last saw you. I miss you very much. Are you living well in London?"
Looking at this rather corny beginning, Alan nodded with satisfaction.
Although this is not a "memorial" but just a private letter, it is very likely that the royal family will keep this kind of letter, and it may be exposed after several years.
Every time Alan wrote a letter to Charles, she had to express her feelings at the beginning!
Although he is far away from Charles in Carmarthen, Wales, his loyalty remains unchanged.
Recalling the love letters that the little girls had written to him in the past, Alan thought for a while and then picked up his pen to continue writing.
"It's 4:30 in the morning, Your Highness... I just finished filming a night scene, which was very tiring. But on the way back, I thought of Your Highness again and couldn't sleep at night, so I wrote this letter."
Thinking back to when I just spent several hours helping Grant get into the role, I still feel a little bored. Is this considered hard work?
He also wrote it down to let Charles know that he was doing real work and was working very hard, and that he was willing to write to him in the middle of the night, which would make his feelings seem sincere.
…
Alan wrote a whole page about his troubles in making movies, and then changed the subject to mention the visit of the Duke of Angus.
The letter expressed in detail his dissatisfaction with the British nobles who watched him suffer and did nothing to help, especially those nobles whom Angus had personally called and who did not help but just watched him make a fool of himself.
Alan pretended to complain, and wrote down every one of them in the letter.
In this way, Alan can appear to be a humane person, knowing that his father's old friend is in trouble and lend a hand, and by the way, he can complain about the domestic nobles who are trying to make trouble for them. Charles has a bad relationship with the domestic nobles. After Alan wrote this paragraph, he could naturally transition to the same position as Charles.
…
Looking at the three pages of letter paper, Alan smacked his lips and thought that this time he had laid enough groundwork and was ready to get down to business.
Although most of the previous content is about trivial matters, this is how private letters should be written. If it is too formal, wouldn't it fail to show the friendship?
"Your Highness... Ever since you stopped me from hunting, I can only eat a little meat every three days. My family is so poor that we can't even afford meat! When Christina heard about this, she insisted on sending me some aid from Spain, but I decisively refused!"
"Your Highness... I really have no other choice. The factory at home can no longer operate. I have no money to pay the workers. The production line has been moved to China. Your Highness, can you ask someone from the Royal Asset Investment Management Bureau to visit me? I want to use your background to do some small business."
Having written this, Alan finally got to the point: he wanted to use the British royal family's shell to do business under his own brand.
But I recently inquired and found out that the person in charge of the Royal Asset Investment Management Bureau seems to be a butler close to the Queen. Charles has no say in the matter and can only enjoy dividends.
but……
Alan still held on to a glimmer of hope and wrote these things down. What if Charles was so generous that he really let him use the title of the royal family?
…
After reading the letter, Allen hesitated for a moment, and at the end of the letter, he added his idea of buying a football team, the target was Manchester United, but he heard from the Duke of Angus that the football team had a bad origin, so he did not dare to act on his own, so he wrote a letter to His Highness first to ask for guidance.
Never mind that he said earlier that he couldn’t eat meat anymore, and then asked where he got the money to buy a team.
The question is about exaggeration in writing. Is it not okay to be a little exaggerated in literary matters?
…
Putting down the pen, Alan read the entire letter, which was four full pages. The first three and a half pages were full of nonsense, and the most important thing was written at the end.
Anyway, he made two requests. With Charles's strong character, he should agree to one of them, right?
His subordinates sent him a letter asking for help, but he rejected both of their small requests. How embarrassing would that be?
Allen had thoughtfully left some rather rash thoughts in the letter, which was intended to irritate Charles, so that he would get a little angry when he saw the letter, and then scold Allen when he replied.
Doesn't this show that His Highness is knowledgeable and capable? Does Alan still need to stay close to His Highness and listen to his teachings? !
In this way, the more letters they write, the stronger the relationship between the two people will become.
…
After blowing the letter with satisfaction, the door of the study was gently pushed open. Alan thought it was the servant who brought the meal.
When I looked up, I saw Hutt himself pushing the food cart in.
"Master...you've worked hard all night, why are you still writing a letter here?"
"Tsk... On the way back, I suddenly thought of Your Highness. It's been such a long time since we last met. I really couldn't sleep, so I wanted to write a letter to Your Highness."
…
After hearing what Allen said, Hut could hardly hide the smile on his face.
Although the young master is a bit playful, when it comes to getting along with the royal family and the prince, he is far better than the old master.
In the past, the old master would only go to the audience when His Highness called him, but with the young master, he would take the initiative to write to His Highness after a while, and His Highness would even take the young master with him on visits.
This is progress. The relationship between the Hill family and the prince will be closer in the future!
Carefully, he brought a few side dishes to Alan's desk. After obtaining Alan's consent, Hut personally helped Alan put away the letter and put it in a special envelope.
"Master, I will take him to London myself at daybreak."
"Well...you should go back and rest for a while. I have to write a letter later."
The letter to Charles had been written, but Alan was also planning to write another letter to Christina.
You can't always ignore other people's enthusiasm. Reply every few letters!
…
Six sprinkler trucks surrounded the set, as we were going to shoot a rain scene today.
Grant's wife cheated on him again, and this time she even brought the person she had an affair with home. What's even more outrageous is that there was a party at his house today.
This made Grant very embarrassed.
Although many neighbors knew that Grant's wife had cheated on him, no one said it out loud.
Now, in such a crowded occasion, his wife brought back the person she had cheated with so openly!
Even flirting in front of him!
A surge of anger filled Grant's heart.
The next step in this scene is to film the furious Grant drowning the cuckold in the swimming pool with his own hands.
…
The sprinkler truck is in place, and a row of nozzles on a high platform made of wooden frames act as rainmakers.
Today's equipment is still a bit crude. When shooting night scenes, if the lighting is too poor, the resulting picture will appear dark.
so……
The props team put a lot of thought into the swimming pool and installed several spotlights on the bottom of the pool.
Once the white spotlight is turned on, the turquoise water in the swimming pool appears very clear, and the shots taken this way look beautiful.
Alan sat on the recliner, crossing his legs and looking a little bored.
Now he completely leaves the photography to the photographer, and he doesn't have to worry about it. On the set these few days, Allen found that he was slowly changing from a director to a supervisor-like role.
There was nothing that required him to come in person. He just had to occasionally pick up his special cool little trumpet and shout "Ikeshen, ka."
…
The camera lens is covered with a thin transparent plastic HD shell to prevent water damage.
The first take didn't seem to go smoothly. When the photographer walked over to Allen, he leaned over and whispered, "Director... the actor's expression isn't quite right. There's still a difference between our real-life shoot and the shoot in the fish tank. Grant is a little uncomfortable."
"oh?"
After listening to the photographer's explanation, Alan understood that Grant was afraid of accidentally drowning "Adulterer No. N", so he didn't dare to use too much force.
But his acting skills in the supporting role of "Adulterer No. N" were just so-so. Without the influence of external forces, he could not act out the feeling of the dying struggle before being drowned.
Although there are no close-ups of the faces, just letting the actors splash around in the water a few times is fine.
but……
The previous shots were pretty good, there’s no need to make do with just this one shot.
But we can't let Grant really perform this kind of play, right?
Do you really use enough force to drown the other person, then wait a while to finish filming and then ask the doctor to rescue?
If Alan really dared to give the order to do so, it would be bad for his reputation if the news got out.
Touching his chin, Alan was really a little stumped for a moment.
…
Can't act realistically.
Can't get into the play.
There is no imitation object.
Don't dare to kill.
Thinking about these key pieces of information, Alan was suddenly stunned. In this case, why not just find someone who can kill the person, perform the scene on the spot, and let that "adulterer No. N" learn from it.
Waving at Siphis, Alan waited for Siphis to come to him and said, "Call Rex. Isn't there a Korean in the police station? Ask him if he has used up all the medicine. If not, bring one here. If he has, go catch one for me! Hurry up."
"ah?"
Siphis was a little confused, there was a movie being filmed on the set...
Why arrest Koreans?
"Master, this..."
"It's not that the scene can't be acted realistically. So, catch a Korean and try to drown him. Let the actor watch from the side. Then let Grant try it himself. That way, he can control the strength when filming later."
They are locked up in prison anyway, so it doesn't matter if they die. Sacrificing for filming a movie is not a loss for the Koreans. At least it gives them a quick death.
“…”
Siphis swallowed his saliva, he didn't expect the young master to come up with this idea, this would indeed be very helpful for filming, except that it would be a bit labor-intensive for the Koreans.
But this is Carmarthen, and the sheriff is Rex. Rex will do whatever Alan asks him to do, and no one will spread such things. He is an extremely simple and crude practitioner.
"Okay...I'll call Rex right now."
…
Siphis went to call Rex for help, while Alan directed the crew to shoot the next scene first.
This scene is also very simple. Grant's wife discovered that her adulterer was missing. She accidentally glanced at the swimming pool in the yard and found a dead body floating in the pool - it was her adulterer.
…
Monica was kneeling by the swimming pool in a white shirt in the heavy rain, looking at Grant with resentment: "It was you! I know you killed him!"
Grant's face was calm, and he wanted to reach out and hug Monica to comfort her.
But Monica pushed Grant away and cried bitterly while grabbing the "corpse" that everyone had fished out of the swimming pool.
…
It was supposed to be a very thrilling scene.
But Alan watched the "heavy rain" falling, soaking Monica, the white shirt sticking tightly to her body, outlining the curves inside.
It was hard to tell whether it was rain or tears on Monica's face, but her tearful look aroused Alan's interest.
The guilt that had just emerged a few days ago has now disappeared.
Looking at the actor acting the dead body on the ground, and then looking at Monica, this scene was exciting enough, but Alan couldn't do it with outsiders.
He just likes excitement, he's not really a pervert, there's a difference!
or……
Let's let Monica perform a live re-creation of the scene tonight in her current look?
Thinking of this, Allen happily watched the crew filming this thriller scene.
…
"Master... the person has been brought here, can you see?"
"Oh? Rex is here, haha, are there enough people?"
Alan rarely felt guilty and even asked Rex if the Koreans were enough.
"That's enough, Master. I dare not go too far recently. For now..."
Looking around, no one paid attention to this place. Rex, who was dressed in casual clothes, squatted beside Alan and whispered, "Master, I'm investigating an old case from a few years ago. The evidence is almost ready. It has been more than three months. If we handle cases at this frequency, we won't stand out too much, and my brothers can also get credit. The Koreans won't consume it so quickly. If we use it slowly, it can be used for a few more years!"
