Alan, sweating all over, walked in front, got on the golf cart, and staggered towards the villa holding the handrail.
…
As soon as he entered the door, he was about to take a shower, but something was thrown in front of him with a "bang", which scared Alan.
After seeing clearly what was thrown on the ground, Alan found it a little funny.
This time, Alan only brought the servants with him on vacation. He arranged for the other employees to go to Spain, while he himself came to Australia.
And his little pet Xiao Huang was also brought along.
When Alan went out hunting today, he didn't take it with him because he was taking a helicopter. Maybe Xiao Huang was a little bit grumpy.
At this time, no one knew where it caught the rabbit. When it saw Alan coming back, it threw the rabbit at Alan's feet, tilted its little head back, and looked very proud.
…
Allen picked up the rabbit, handed it to the servant with some disgust, and said, "Don't let it see it, get rid of it."
When he was in Great Britain, Alan would eat animals he hunted, but when he arrived in Australia, the prey seemed to be abundant, and it was said that there were rabbits everywhere, but the rabbits here could not be eaten!
Of course, it’s no big deal for most people to eat one occasionally.
In the early years, rabbits were rampant in Australia, causing devastating damage to local vegetation and affecting economic development.
The officials here offered a reward and tried other solutions.
A few years ago, there was a large-scale operation of spraying pesticides by aircraft. It was said that a poison was developed for rabbits.
but……
Later, not many rabbits were killed by the poison, but a lot of grassland was destroyed.
Many grazing pastures could not be used because of this poison, and later...
This group of rabbits also developed antibodies as a result of this poison. The poison was not a big problem for the rabbits, but it caused the extinction of many other small animals in the local area.
Then, of course, they no longer dared to use poison, but even now, many wild rabbits still have trace amounts of toxins in their bodies, some of which come from the food they eat, and some of which may be genetic.
Alan didn't know much about these things before. He only knew that there were many rabbits in Australia, but he was very curious why the locals didn't eat them. Even if they didn't eat them, couldn't they hunt them on a large scale and sell them outside?
When he came this time, the person who received him knew that Allen liked hunting, so he told him these precautions in advance.
It turns out that the rabbit is poisonous!
This trace amount of toxin is not a big problem for ordinary people to eat one or two rabbits, but...
This is not the case for noble lords. They need to inform in advance to avoid trouble later.
so……
Xiao Huang has no problem catching wild rabbits to play with, but he can't eat them.
…
At tea time, Alan, wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts, called Tanaka Kubo, who was also no longer wearing a suit.
"I'm going to have dinner with the Governor in a few days, and you can come with me then."
"oh?"
Tanaka Kubo was stunned.
The Governor-General of Australia, this is a person that their group is far from being able to contact right now!
I didn't expect that this Excellency had this intention when asking Sony to send someone to Australia for a meeting?
If I go to the banquet with Alan, I can get to know the Governor, and then...
Although Sony has entered the Australian market a long time ago, can the relationship with the Governor be the same as without the Governor?
"Hahaha! Thank you for your support, I really don't know how to repay you..."
Alan looked at Tanaka Kubo and saw that he was so grateful that it seemed like he was not pretending.
But this is too...
…
The current Governor-General of Australia is Ninian Martin Stephen.
This Australian Governor-General has been in office since 1982, and now is the last time of his term!
He should have returned to his hometown by the beginning of 1989!
The remaining term is just over a year.
It is said that he did a good job during his tenure and won several medals.
In 1985, he visited China, exploring the way for the Queen. He is one of the representatives who is loyal to the royal family.
This is also the purpose of Alan coming out to play this time. It is safer to play here!
Now he offered the governor a favor and introduced him to Tanaka Kubo.
It can not only help him expand his network of contacts, but also do Sony a favor.
The purpose...
Of course it costs money!
Mr. Allen is not blackmailing Sony, so if he wants money, he should find a legitimate reason.
Now, the benefits have been given and the reason for asking for money has been thought of.
Sony has to give it whether it wants or not!
When they expand their sales in Australia, which will take a year at the shortest and two to three years at the longest, when the next governor comes, Alan can give him some information, and Sony will be on the chopping block by then.
If you want money, you can always take control of Sony.
When the market is small, they may not care, but when the market becomes bigger, they will definitely care.
By then, when the new governor takes office, Allen will collude with him and can find any excuse to make money from Sony at any time.
And Alan hid behind and didn't even have to show up!
…
Seeing Tanaka Kubo's grateful face, Allen smiled and said, "With the relationship with the Governor, you can develop in South Wales first, and then expand outward after this place is settled. Do you understand what I mean?"
"I understand! I understand very well, Your Excellency!"
Tanaka Kubo had done some preparation for this historical origin before coming here.
New South Wales is the state where British immigrants first came from, and it is also the capital of Australia. I wouldn’t say it’s the most developed state, but it has the most British people! It’s also the most secure area.
Outside of South Wales, there are many immigrants from other states. Although most of the others are white, people of Irish descent account for more than half of them!
Ireland...
Most of the gangs in the northeastern United States are descendants of the Irish. They have a bad reputation now. It is not particularly safe to do business in such crowded places. They must first gain a foothold in a safe place!
"Well, that's all you need to know! Go ahead."
Alan picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. Now that he had finished talking, he began to chase people away.
…
A few days later.
"Master! I am glad to see you! I heard that the country is very busy these days!"
As soon as old Carl entered the room and saw Allen, he took off his hat and saluted, then handed his cane and hat to the servant, and turned sideways to gesture to the person following him.
"Haha, it's reported over there too?"
Alan looked at the little golden retriever following behind old Carl and smiled. He didn't know this person, but since old Carl was not shy, Alan was not in a hurry and waited for him to introduce him.
…
"It's reported! It's reported! The atmosphere in America has been very depressing recently. I can see reports every day in Los Angeles about people jumping off buildings here and there. It's not easy to get some news about Britain, so we have to report it."
Old Carl sat down, filled the cup in front of Alan with tea, then poured two more cups of tea, took one for himself, put the remaining cup aside, and motioned the person who followed him to sit down.
…
"Hahaha!"
Alan found it a little funny listening to Old Carl's description.
It seems that these two places dislike each other. Whenever there is news about the other side, they try their best to report it and laugh at the joke.
Thinking back to the financial crisis in the United States some time ago, although Britain was also affected, when the news was reported on TV, people always gloated over the Americans' misfortune and made fun of them.
Unexpectedly, because of the recent news about the British House of Lords, Americans were not to be outdone and reported the British news in reverse, also making fun of themselves.
"Who is this?"
Pointing at the person behind Old Carl, Allen raised his chin.
…
"Oh... Look at my memory. I haven't seen you for a few months. I just want to catch up with you, Mr.
Old Carl pulled the little golden retriever that had just sat down, and the little golden retriever stood up again quickly with some restraint.
"This is James Cameron, born in Ontario, and currently a successful director in Hollywood!"
Old guy Patrice went to America for an inspection some time ago. He helped Allen to recruit people and asked old Carl for help.
Old Carl is a relatively traditional and old-fashioned person. Even in America, especially in a trendy place like Los Angeles, he is always dressed like an old gentleman, which shows what kind of person he is.
Patrice is a person who believes in meritocracy. He doesn't care much about where the newly hired director is from. But old Carl cares more. He would rather hire someone from Britain than from America!
After much deliberation, Old Carl and Patrice finally had some different opinions.
But old Carl has an advantage, he has a high status!
He took the initiative to bring the candidate directly to Allen for his master to see.
…
"Hello, sir. I am James Cameron. You can just call me Cameron."
Although he has only made three movies, James Cameron is considered an extremely talented player!
Currently very famous in Hollywood, and...
Even though he is only 33 years old this year, he has already changed two wives, and the one he likes the most is the one he plays with!
but……
Hollywood is Hollywood and Australia is Australia. As a person born in a Commonwealth country and also bathed in the glory of the Queen, Cameron is still in awe of the traditional aristocracy of Britain.
She lifted her half-long blonde hair, gave a brief self-introduction, and stared eagerly at the young Earl in front of her.
…
"James Cameron?"
Alan didn't expect that the gentle-looking man in front of him was actually Cameron?
Holy shit…
This guy seems to be a talented person, and a talent for making commercial films.
But according to old Carl’s introduction, he has only been in the industry for a short time and has only acted in three movies?
Allen's biggest impression of Cameron is his "Terminator"!
Arnold’s classic line – I’ll be back!
Later, it was used as a catchphrase by his little fan from another dimension, Gray Wolf, and many other little fans from other dimensions also used it.
but……
When watching a movie some time ago, Allen found that the plot of the current "Terminator" seemed a little wrong.
Although the actor is still Arnold, the plot is wrong!
The special effects are rather crude, and Arnold is the villain.
He clearly remembered that Arnold seemed to be fine...
Could this be the wings of a butterfly?
"Well... sit down and talk. Don't be so reserved. I've seen your movies. The Terminator is good. The special effects are great, but why does the plot feel weird?"
Alan smiled and waved his hand, motioning the somewhat nervous Cameron to sit down first.
…
Cameron secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Apart from the servants, there were only three people on the terrace, a knight, an earl, and he himself was a commoner.
How could he not be nervous in such an environment?
In Hollywood, he could still put on airs and be considered a new director, but here, he is nothing...
Hearing Allen's question, Cameron was about to stand up, but seeing Allen's smile, he took a breath and said, "Sir... Actually, I haven't finished filming this Terminator yet. At that time, the funds were insufficient, and the special effects could not achieve the effect I wanted. You can understand that this is only the first half of the two episodes!"
"???"
Is there such a saying?
No wonder I always felt something weird when watching the movie "Terminator". So this is what it is.
"Haha, are you interested in my Earl Pictures?"
Now that the people have been brought here, Alan invited them directly. They are talented people, so there must be an invitation process!
Cameron subconsciously glanced at Old Carl next to him, and Old Carl gave him a firm look.
"I am very happy to serve you!"
Cameron stood up and saluted again, and this time his attitude was much more serious, a bit like joining the nobility in the movies!
…
"Hahaha, great! I have no shortage of funds here! As for the personnel, just write down the names of the people you want, and you can handle the rest on your own!"
"Thank you for your appreciation. Don't worry, I will prepare the project right away."
Cameron made repeated assurances and was eager to come up with the project right away.
It's a bit sad to say. When he made his first movie, he was in Italy. After the filming, the Italians looked down on him and didn't let him edit it. Later, Cameron held his breath, taught himself Italian, and edited the film himself.
And then...
Cameron took out his childhood creativity and wrote a script himself, which is - "Terminator"!
Later, he took the script to his ex-wife, a Hollywood producer, and sold the script for a low price of $1. He used the funds to shoot "Terminator 1".
Thanks to "Terminator 1", Cameron officially became famous and had some money.
but……
Here comes the problem.
Many Hollywood directors have no shortage of investors once they become famous, but this is not the case with Cameron.
Theoretically, he has no shortage of investors, but those who come to invest in his movies have ulterior motives and offer little money.
Finally, Cameron had no choice but to use his beauty to get a new Hollywood female producer. Then the two got married, and Cameron had money again...
Then he came up with "Alien 2" last year.
Until a while ago, the senior colleague named Patrice found him and asked him to go to Britain to make movies, and to join his company and make movies for the company.
Cameron refused without even thinking about it!
This is fucking like being a slave. How can a director with little fame do such a thing?
But then…
Here comes another mysterious figure who is somewhat famous in Los Angeles—Sir Carl!
This person is very important. In the world of fame and fortune like Hollywood, an upright old gentleman from the British aristocracy is still very popular and sought after!
What's more, Sir Carl is said to be very powerful, and Cameron is ready to have a good talk with him.
I thought the other party would persist.
But Sir Carl said something to him!
