“Tsk…”
Alan took out a cigarette and Siphis quickly took out a lighter to light it for him.
After some thought…
The plot of this movie is very exciting and a little crazy.
If a movie like this is released at this time, will it have some unimaginable consequences?
for example……
Faced with the financial crisis, many Americans are under great pressure, and then...
Indulge yourself?
But...the key point here is promotion. How to promote this movie is the key point.
…
"You say... let's say this is a Christmas gift from me to the American people, and then choose to release it on Christmas, okay?"
"ah?"
Siphis was a little confused. What kind of Christmas gift was this?
Americans are expected to watch this with their families at Christmas?
And then collective derailment?
Holy shit…
…
"Look... let's look at it from another angle. Marriage life will become boring after a long time. Add to that the pressure of life, and it's easy for people's mental health to have problems."
"Our movie reflects this problem. It is a preventive measure for Americans! Let them watch the story between the hero and heroine in the movie, so that they can learn from it and be prepared to face all kinds of difficulties!"
The more Alan thought about it, the more he felt that this explanation was acceptable. Although it was a bit of an over-interpretation, I am the director and I can interpret it however I want.
As for those distorted values in the movie, I made it to criticize, not for you to learn from!
If the Americans really learn it, it means that their audience is not good enough and their hearts are not firm. What does it have to do with Allen? !
A knife can be used to cut vegetables and meat, but some people insist on using the knife as a weapon. Can you blame the knife factory for this?
cannot!
…
Siphis blinked. Is this really okay?
Young Master is somewhat famous in the United States. Besides, he is a nobleman, so no matter whether his movies are good or bad, there are always people who go to see them for the sake of novelty.
If we really promote it as he said, it might be a Christmas gift for Americans, but it's a bit...
Siphis didn't dare to say anything.
…
"Why? Isn't this okay?"
"Uh... OK! I'll do as you say. I'll go and prepare some promotional materials and have someone go back to America with Sir Carl to make the preliminary preparations."
"Well... go ahead!"
Alan stood up. He had gotten up early today for some reason. Now that everything had been discussed for the time being, he prepared to go back and catch up on some sleep.
…
As soon as he entered the bedroom, Xiao Huang flapped his wings and walked towards Alan.
Li Zhi played with it a few days ago, but after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Li Zhi returned to Hong Kong. When Alan was busy, Xiao Huang would stay in his nest and refuse to go out.
I picked up the already big little Huang. Theoretically, this little guy should have learned to fly by now, but for some reason, it seems that he has become fat or it is a habit, but Xiao Huang has always liked to walk on the ground and has no interest in flying.
Alan doesn't force it, just let it be.
It seems that Xiao Huang is in the molting period again. White fluff has grown on some parts of his body, but most of his body is still covered with light gray hair, which is patchy and looks a bit ugly.
…
"Master! There is a letter for you. It is from the princess."
After seeing off the guests, Hut came back with a letter in his hand. When he entered the bedroom, he saw Alan squatting on the ground, holding Xiao Huang and whispering something.
"Oh? You finally replied?"
Alan felt quite resentful. He had been waiting for this letter for too long and thought it had fallen into oblivion.
The princess said she wanted to understand the situation, but it took her too long!
…
Taking the envelope, Alan opened it quickly, but there wasn't much in the letter.
At the beginning, I explained why it took so long to reply.
As worthy of being called the people's princess, although Diana sometimes looked careless and unreliable, she was still very careful at critical moments.
She took Alan's letter to her very seriously this time, after all, it was a good opportunity to enhance her reputation.
Alan is one of our own, so there's no need to explain what it means to put this opportunity in front of her.
But cautious Diana still arranged for someone to investigate.
originally……
The investigation is only halfway done, but wasn’t there a stock market crash and financial crisis in the United States yesterday?
What is there to investigate?
The economic trend is already so bad, and it will obviously get worse in the next few years due to the influence of the United States. There is no need to investigate this!
Although she didn't understand what riding on the popularity of others meant, Diana knew that at this time, if she took advantage of the news of the financial crisis to launch this plan, it would allow her to gain more fame than usual!
During this period of public panic, the introduction of a new industry that focuses on providing employment opportunities for the middle-aged and elderly groups will definitely receive more attention than usual!
And this is exactly what Diana needs!
And her good nephew Alan will not suffer any loss. The plan can be launched now and officially implemented after a period of time. Whether it is purchasing land or recruiting people, it can be done at a lower price, which also saves money in disguise.
…
Diana did not say any specific words of thanks in the letter, but she did mention the parents at the end and even mentioned that William was naughty and had let the cattle mess up Charles' garden.
At the end of the letter, Diana also said that she would invite him to her home for dinner sometime.
Alan's eyes flickered as he looked at the letter. He read until the end before a smile appeared on his lips.
Just agree to the plan, and then he can start preparing with peace of mind.
and……
The reason why he insisted on writing a letter to Diana and asking Diana to do it together was that he had some other ideas.
Charles doesn't let him rub against the royal symbol, but it's okay for him to rub against his aunt, right?
Diana will be her image spokesperson from now on!
Thinking of this, Allen folded the letter and handed it to Huth, saying, "Put it away. The princess has agreed, and the company can be officially established. Also, go inform Matthias."
Making an OK gesture with his left hand, Allen said, "Take out 30% of the shares, Princess, and give the two little princes 10% of the dividend rights each. Write it down and send it over, saying that this is my pocket money for my aunt and two cousins!"
…
"This..." Hut's eyes widened. This was a blatant act.
But the young master said it was the right to profit, and besides, it was pocket money for his relatives, so even if outsiders knew about it, they would not dare to say anything.
"Okay Master... I got it!"
…
Throughout October, a panic first spread from America and then quickly spread outward.
Until November, the outside world was still in turmoil.
But nothing happened at the Hill estate.
It was early November, which was already winter. Alan got up early today, around seven in the morning. He put on a jacket and an elbow pad on his left arm with a pad tied to it.
After molting, Xiao Huang is now covered with white feathers dotted with black hairs here and there.
Snowy owls are rarely pure white. Basically every snowy owl has some black feathers on its body, which looks a bit like snow camouflage.
Standing on the lawn in the yard, Alan took out a small meatball from the small bag tied to his waist with his right hand, threw it far away, stretched out his left arm, and shouted "Go!"
…
Little Yellow flapped its wings excitedly and jumped up with a whoosh. It flicked its wings twice, then lowered its wings and flew away like a glider, chasing the meatball.
At this time, a very ordinary red MG family sedan drove into the gate of the manor, and the female driver in the car happened to see this scene.
On the lawn...
There seemed to be a light on the blond man's face. There was a protective measure tied on his left arm. When he raised his hand, the white bird standing on his left arm flew out.
The sun was shining at around seven o'clock, accompanied by the wind, and the scene looked a bit psychedelic.
She stepped on the brakes lightly. This was the first time she saw the owner of the manor so closely.
Although he has been working here for more than half a year, the Earl rarely gets up so early. He is usually busy and rarely meets other servants in the house or the staff working in the manor. Now, when they meet for the first time, he sees this scene.
This made the female driver think deeply.
As the car slowly approached, the female driver suddenly woke up. It was too rude for her to drive towards this man like this, and it would make others think too much. She glanced at the rearview mirror and saw that someone from the gate had already stuck his head out and was looking at her from afar!
…
After stopping the car, the female driver approached Alan with a notebook in her hand, somewhat embarrassedly.
The deeper you go, the clearer you can see the sutra.
The white bird that just flew out looked like an owl.
The female driver had seen this bird before. It seemed to be called the Snowy Owl. It is often seen in northern England, that is, Scotland, Wales...
It seems that I can see it occasionally.
Now, this snowy owl, known as a bird of prey, is standing on the earl's left arm, and his head is being gently stroked by the earl. This thing is quite interesting, and it seems to like the earl's actions very much. The snowy owl's head is slightly tilted back, and its eyes are narrowed, making a smile, and a cooing sound comes from its mouth.
…
"Huh? What do you do?"
Alan watched as Xiao Huang successfully caught and ate the meatballs he threw before they hit the ground. It felt like he was teasing a dog and it was very fun. When he looked up, he saw a blonde woman approaching him with a notebook in her hand.
It was not easy for outsiders to enter the manor. If she hadn't been holding the microphone, Alan would have almost thought that this was a reporter who had sneaked in from nowhere.
…
"Hello, sir... I'm the screenwriter. Today is the first time I meet you. I saw you... training a falcon? I came here to take a look out of curiosity."
The female driver saw Alan suddenly look up at her, and she was so fixed in his eyes that she couldn't speak clearly.
She had seen this gentleman from afar before, but today was the first time she met him up close. There was a slight scar at the corner of his eye, and coupled with his current attire and the snowy owl on his arm, this image made her feel unreal!
It gave her the feeling that this character came out of an ancient bard's story!
Mysterious, gentle, confident, sunny, handsome, noble, and so on!
…
"Screenwriter? Oh... I remember now!"
When she mentioned it, Alan remembered that he now had two screenwriters, one male and one female, who were working together.
I heard from Siphis that the female screenwriter we hired before resigned due to some emotional problems, so this female screenwriter was hired later.
It seems that she just graduated this year and has no experience in the screenwriting industry, but she has a good literary foundation and is a small writer. Now they meet for the first time. Alan tilted his head and thought, why does this female screenwriter look a little familiar?
"What's your name?"
"My...I...my name is Joanna Rowling!"
"oh……"
…
Allen winked. Joanna Rowling?
Rowling?
Why?
This isn't about writing that...
“Are you a writer?”
"Yes! I didn't expect you would still remember it!"
Joanna grabbed the notebook with both hands excitedly. She was a little dazed looking at Alan just now, and Alan's image suddenly brought her infinite inspiration.
That sense of mystery reminded her of ancient wizards!
…
Alan didn't know if this person was the Rowling he was thinking of, but asking directly didn't seem like a good idea. After thinking for a moment, he smiled and said, "How many works have you written? Send them to me when you have time."
Joanna was a little shy when asked about her work.
She has a literary background and could tell stories when she was a child, and she liked to tell stories to her younger sister.
But the novels she writes now tend to be the Mary Sue type, where a domineering president falls in love with me. It’s a bit embarrassing to talk about this kind of romance novel.
It was because she wrote this kind of stuff that Siphis decided to make her the editor. At that time, Allen's requirement for her was to be an author of romance novels with delicate emotions.
…
Joanna gave the title of a novel that had already been written.
Alan listened with a smile, and then...
The two of them found themselves embarrassed and had no more topics to talk about.
Alan thought she would continue, but he didn't expect that Rowling only had one work now.
"No more?"
"That's all... Your Excellency's other writings are just small fragments that you usually write, not worth mentioning."
"oh……"
It turned out that Harry Potter was not written, and Alan did not hear the name he wanted. He was a little uncertain. He did not know the life of Rowling, so he did not know whether the person in front of him was the real one.
"Work hard! Try to write better stories and contribute to the company. I look forward to you becoming a lady in the future!"
Alan gave a word of encouragement and prepared to continue playing with Xiao Huang.
Joanna smiled happily, handed the notebook to Alan and said, "Sir... I admire you very much. Can you write a message or autograph for me? I never had the chance to meet you before."
"Oh? Okay!"
Alan shook his left arm lightly and took the notebook. Xiao Huang fluttered his fingers twice and stared at Joanna angrily.
…
After breakfast, Siphis smiled apologetically at Alan. He came to the restaurant specially just to wait for Alan.
"Master... the island country sent an email. It's a script from Sony. Please review it."
"Oh? They saw that I was free and wanted to find something for me to do?"
Alan, who had just had some free time in recent days, curled his lips when he heard that these little...Japanese people had sent him the script.
Is this another perverted script?
"Let's go...to my study."
…
With his legs crossed and enjoying the massage from the maid, Alan slowly flipped through the so-called script that Sony wanted to shoot.
When Sony invested in the company, Allen promised them that he would allow them to use their people to make a movie every year that was "not for the purpose of making money."
It’s almost the end of the year now. If we don’t use this opportunity now, it will be gone!
