It is now certain that Carlos in front of him is a liar, but what Alan is most concerned about is not him as a person, but his entire way of doing things and his purpose.
for example……
When this guy came, he had a Rolls-Royce and servants. It looked like a gang crime.
Is there a team behind him?
Where are these people?
Are they trying to destroy Master Allen's property and life?
These questions need to be clarified.
Before the danger was exposed, Alan could ignore it and just take strict precautions. Now that the problem has been exposed, he must investigate!
We can't let go of someone who stands in the open and wants to harm us!
…
But Alan does not have such a strong ability to gather intelligence now. A liar jumped out from the cracks of the stone. There are so many people in this world and no specific target. Where should he go to find information about Carlos?
but……
In general, the problem is not that big. As long as we catch the person and send him to Rex, there is no tougher man than Sanmu. When he is tortured, no secret will be a secret anymore!
…
"Let me go, sir. What are you doing? I came here with sincerity. Is this how you treat a guest?"
Carlos' arms were held by two strong men on both sides, his legs were suspended in the air and kicked a few times, his face was no longer calm.
Didn’t we just talk about it nicely?
How come you turned against me in the blink of an eye?
Even if Patrice was exposed, would it be so serious?
…
Allen looked at Carlos expressionlessly. Seeing that he was still struggling, he said with impatience in his eyes: "Let him be quiet, take him to Rex, and ask him everything he needs to know."
As Allen finished speaking.
The sturdy man who was holding Carlos slightly turned sideways, pressed Carlos' head with his arm, forced him to bend his waist, and then suddenly punched Carlos hard in the stomach.
“Hmm…”
This time...
The living room was quiet. Carlos hunched over and instantly became as obedient as a dead dog as he was dragged away.
…
"Master...their information is fine."
Hut felt a little ashamed that he had been tricked into getting in by a scammer. When the other party contacted him, he called to check the information submitted by the other party.
"snort……"
Thinking of Britain's good tradition, it doesn't seem to be particularly difficult for some people with means or money to obtain a false identity document.
This kind of thing can only deceive people for a while, but it will be exposed sooner or later.
Therefore, this kind of thing cannot be blamed entirely on Huth.
"Alright...let's have someone interrogate him first. Prepare a car for me. I'll go change my clothes and go check out the crew."
I got up early to meet a client, but he turned out to be a liar.
Alan was feeling a little unlucky and wanted to go to the set to relax.
…
At last month's Venice Film Festival, Hugh Grant lived up to expectations and won the Best Actor award. Allen gave him a few days off to relax.
Now back to the set...
Grant, who was originally in a good mood, felt a little bored when he found that no one around him looked at him with envy.
…
Like this crew, most of the people are latecomers.
The leadership came from working for “art” magazines.
Most of the employees came from the BBC, and they had no idea about awards. Anyway, no matter how awesome this award was, could it be better than a knighthood?
Lord Allen once said that anyone who performs well and contributes greatly to the team will be granted a title!
Compared with the best actor award in Venice, this kind of award doesn't seem to be much of a big deal...
If this second movie performs well this year, there will be great hope for Boss Cifex!
By then everyone will have to call him Sir Siphis!
Do Venetian male actors receive this kind of treatment?
…
The filming of the movie is nearing its end, and the scenes that were reshot in the past few days are all unimportant.
The last scene shot today was the protagonist holding a banquet at home, which was the scene before killing the adulterer in the swimming pool.
The heroine played by Monica actually brought her adulterer home in public and flirted with him in front of her husband.
Especially since their children were present!
…
Afternoon tea break.
"Uncle...can you let me see your little bird?"
The little girl was very cute. She stared with big watery eyes, looking at the little yellow thing in Alan's hand with some envy.
Alan glanced at the little girl named Natalie Portman.
Children really speak without restraint. What does "look at my bird" mean?
I'm not small!
Natalie's parents, who were standing nearby, looked a little embarrassed when they heard their daughter's outrageous words. They rubbed their hands, not knowing what to say.
Generally, if a film crew needs to use these underage actors, they need to obtain the consent of their guardians, that is, their parents, and then filming can only be carried out with the guardians present!
And Allen did something even more extreme.
He doesn't rely on this little girl to attract attention. He just plays the small role of a daughter to enrich the plot and improve the completeness of the character.
After Natalie's parents brought her to England, Allen directly paid for someone to take the three of them on a trip. The film was almost finished and there were no more large-scale scenes, so he asked them to come back for additional filming!
It can be said that he is very conscientious and generous.
…
"Xiao Huang doesn't like to play with strangers, you see."
Alan squatted down, stretched out his hand, and handed Xiao Huang towards Natalie.
When they got closer, Natalie was about to reach out her hand, but the little yellow cat stretched out its neck and pecked Natalie's hand with its mouth.
"Mother!"
Natalie was so scared that she didn't dare to play anymore. She turned around and ran behind her mother, with half of her head exposed, looking at the smug Xiao Huang.
This little thing was very obedient when following Alan, but it seemed to be able to tell who was of what status.
When it is at home, no one except Alan can touch it. At best, it will peck it, and at worst, it will chase after it, chirping.
No matter whether you are male or female, big or small, it’s all the same!
Alan patted Xiao Huang's head with satisfaction, wishing that all his hard work in feeding the baby would not be in vain.
He glanced at the crew who were almost resting on the set, picked up his personal megaphone and said, "Let's start shooting. We've finished the final shot and booked the hotel. I'll treat you to a wrap-up party!"
…
Looking at the messy crew, Alan suddenly had some ideas.
The current photography mode is too backward. Unless it is a very important shot, the rest is for normal shooting.
He couldn't see the filming scenes in real time, so he was very bored when the crew was filming. He was more like a supervisor than a director!
This made Allen want to be lazy. Since it was the same with him or not, he might as well recruit a few more directors, train them, and completely liberate himself. At that time, these directors would be his assistant directors, and they would usually keep an eye on the set.
When the critical moment comes, he can ask Master Allen to step in and give some advice on the actors' acting skills, so that he doesn't have to wait in the crew for the rest of the time.
…
After a simple wrap-up party, the crew, which had been together for two or three months, parted ways. A few external actors went wherever they wanted, while most of the crew members had their vacation again.
They are not like other actors who come to the crew when there is one and go out looking for a crew when there is no crew.
The people in these crews all follow Lord Allen!
When they are not filming, they don’t have to look for work, they are just on vacation!
They were considered a fixed crew, and now that the head office group has been established, they have become employees of the 21st Century Earl Pictures crew!
…
Monica did not follow the crew to the wrap party, but followed Alan back to the manor.
After a few months of being together, Monica felt that she was becoming more and more sick.
Her relationship with Alan is amazing.
They are lovers, right?
It seems not at all. She seldom communicates with Allen in normal times. Apart from filming, she comes to the manor and occasionally goes back to Italy during holidays.
But if they were not lovers, she felt that she was becoming more and more attached to the earl.
Although she secretly made up her mind and hypnotized herself every time, she felt that everything Allen did for her was for the sake of movies and art.
Although she was a little resistant, she got used to it after doing it many times.
Now that we are about to separate, I feel a little reluctant.
For tonight...
Monica was both scared and excited.
But after returning to the manor, Alan did not rush to start his nightlife. Instead, he asked Monica to clean up first, and then he went to find Patrice to ask about the situation of the crew and explain the situation of recruiting another director.
…
"Recruiting a director? Master... what kind of director do you want? One who has been famous for a long time, or one who is younger and can be trained slowly?"
"I……"
Alan leaned against Patrice's desk, this was his first time in the office area of the house reserved for the servants.
They are all converted from old rooms, since there are many rooms in the house anyway.
The overall decoration tends to be in ancient design style, which makes it look very historical.
After taking a look at the furnishings in the room, Allen said slowly, "Fame doesn't matter. I want someone younger, but with strong abilities. Our people are better. People from abroad... it's best if they can be naturalized. If they can't be naturalized but can work steadily here, that's fine too. The specific region doesn't matter."
Patrice bent over and took out a notebook from the desk, and quickly wrote down Alan's request while standing.
These requirements seem simple, but the applicant must be young and have strong abilities.
This in itself is a very high requirement!
The work of a director is accumulated through a large amount of actual shooting.
If you want to be young and capable, you must be very talented!
Talented people are generally very arrogant. How could they be willing to accompany the young master and serve as an assistant director quietly?
Thinking of this, Patrice thought of Hollywood without any surprise.
There is a union here, and it is a very suitable place to get free stuff. Just pay some money to check the information.
Just bring in a few capable directors who are suffering from lack of funds and not having a particularly good background, and let the young master choose.
As for age...
People in their thirties or forties are considered young, right?
"Okay young master, um... when do you think I should start looking for these directors?"
"No rush. We just finished filming this movie, so let the crew take a break. You can focus on the post-production work recently. Just consult when you have time. Once you've picked a good candidate, you can ask Karl to invite him. It's fine if he can be hired before the end of the year."
"Okay! I understand!"
…
After a night, Monica slowly opened her eyes. Alan, who was beside her pillow, was nowhere to be found. He must have gone to work.
Everything was calm last night, and Alan seemed to have returned to being as gentle and graceful as he was when they first met.
This made Monica a little bit unbelievable. All the little tortures and toys she had imagined were gone.
Although Alan was still as powerful as ever, this power was completely different from what she had expected.
Suddenly everything became normal again, which made Monica, who had gotten used to it, feel a little - lost.
Imitating Allen's usual behavior, Monica rang the bell at the head of the bed, and a servant came in, bowed slightly and said, "Good morning, Miss Monica. The master has told you that you can have dinner after you wake up, and he will take you to the airport after he finishes his business."
"Is Alan working so early?"
Monica asked curiously, but the servant just smiled but did not answer her question.
…
In the parking lot of Cardiff Airport, Monica hugged Alan, feeling a little reluctant to leave. They had slept in the same bed together last night, but after one night, she was going to leave.
But the expected retention did not come.
"I'll come find you again if I have the chance."
Alan smiled the same way as when he first met Monica, very gentle and pure.
Recently, he has been careful about the limits when playing with Monica.
First……
He's not really a pervert, he just seeks a little excitement sometimes.
second……
Monica really needed to relax at that time, ahem, everything was for the movie, for art!
There is another very crucial reason, Allen is preparing to recuperate from his injury.
Over the past few months, his back was covered with scars from Monica's scratches. Before the old wounds had healed, new ones appeared.
today……
Li Zhi, who is far away in Hong Kong, is coming over. Alan should recuperate from his injury in advance so that it won't be so awkward when they meet.
Alan remembered clearly the last time he saw Sylvie Guillen. After seeing so many scratches, Sylvie Guillen's fighting power skyrocketed, causing Master Alan to suffer greatly.
Now that I have experience...
Alan felt that women's desire for revenge was too strong, so he still had to be careful.
Alan personally took Monica's hand and sent her to the plane. He was waiting in the airport VIP lounge.
…
He is not a scumbag, it's just a coincidence!
Li Zhi's flight arrived just half an hour after Monica's flight took off. Isn't this all in the same direction...
…
On the way back to the manor, the driver was concentrating on looking ahead and ignored the strange noises coming from behind.
Li Zhi leaned on Allen, rubbing against him like a cat.
She and Allen haven't seen each other for almost half a year, and recently she has been helping Allen recruit talents in Hong Kong.
When they just got off the plane, there were too many people outside the airport. Li Zhi was too shy to do anything too enthusiastic, so he just gave her a hug.
Now that we're in the car, I can't stop feeling emotional.
"Cough..." Alan coughed dryly. He was still in sage time and had strong self-control.
Some time ago, Li Zhi kept calling and saying he wanted to come over, but Allen always declined due to being busy with work.
