Cameron had no say in whether to hire the special effects personnel, but since Allen put him in charge, he nodded and accepted it, and prepared to go back and talk to someone about the matter.

“That’s right!”

Alan said and suddenly asked out of curiosity.

"Since you sold the script to your ex-wife for the low price of one dollar, what about the copyright if we shoot the second half of the movie?"

You can't just pay for him to make a movie and then end up in a lawsuit, right?

…

"Sir... Don't worry about this. The script is the script and the copyright is the copyright. Leave it to me and I will take care of it."

Cameron didn't know how to explain this matter, but he was confident that if he could use the beauty trap once, he could use it a second time!

Alan stared at Cameron for a long time with a strange expression. When he was young, he still had a bit of baby fat on his face. Now he is in his thirties, but he still looks very young. No wonder he plays so fancy and has his own style.

"Okay... Funds, go back and make a budget and show it to me when the time comes."

"Okay! I understand."

…

Every year on April 29th, there is a small festival in Australia. In integer years, it is celebrated in a big way, but this year is not an integer year, so there is no need to celebrate in a big way.

This day is the day when the British captain Captain Cook discovered Australia.

There will be a grand parade in the area, but...

This year's event has already passed.

Now that Alan is here to visit, the Governor also wants to prepare some special programs to let this high-ranking noble from the local area experience the wild Australia. There are still some local characteristic programs.

Using the excuse of celebrating Christmas, Governor Ninian Martin Stephen invited Allen to watch the parade in Sydney.

…

Accustomed to the large-scale celebrations of later generations, Alan thought that this kind of street celebration parade was like a military parade.

Hundreds or even thousands of people were arranged in a square formation.

But when I got there, I saw...

What the hell!

A group of indigenous people with dark skin, but definitely not black, with colorfully painted faces, wearing strange costumes, holding various equipment, maybe about a hundred of them, yelling and shouting as they marched, is this considered a celebratory parade?

“Roar! Roar! Roar!”

…

Alan looked expressionlessly at the group of natives on the roadside in the distance, who were waving their arms and yelling, and then they brought out their reserved repertoire.

A group of people were holding a circle that seemed to be made of wood, putting it on their bodies and swaying and dancing.

"???"

Isn't this just a hula hoop?

These natives think this thing, which no one has played with for years, is quite trendy.

"Haha, sir... You may not know that the hula hoop evolved from this toy of the natives."

"Oh? So that's how it is?"

It was the first time that Allen heard of the hula hoop’s origin.

He only knew that there were few aborigines in Australia and they were almost all killed off.

Now, the total number of natives in Australia seems to be less than 500,000.

…

As for why the cleansing of the indigenous peoples was carried out so thoroughly in Australia.

At that time, the Australian managers sought advice from professionals in the UK!

With the guidance of professionals, the British who landed in Australia were very efficient in clearing out the natives!

As for who these professionals are…

Cough cough cough…

Guess why the most developed state in faraway Australia is called New South Wales?

Of course... the contributions of the islanders at a certain period are also indispensable. Everyone's joint efforts have led to the reason why there are so few aborigines in Australia today.

…

"Well, sir, I have contacted the Indigenous Development and Progress Committee these days, and they can provide you with a stable supply of beef."

Australian Governor Ninian Martin Stephen looked at Alan who was staring out the car window in a daze, coughed dryly and changed the subject.

They came to watch the parade today, not openly, but just parked not far from the roadside and watched from the car!

There were too many people outside, and the Governor was afraid of being unsafe, so he didn't dare to be too high-profile, and...

The gentleman in front of you has some historical background. Although not many people know about it, it is still better to be careful.

"Oh? I've done it. Haha, thank you for your hard work."

After hearing this, Alan finally put his mind at ease.

Although the main purpose of this vacation in Australia was to have fun and relax, he still did some work on the side.

Contacting the source of beef is the real business!

But there are so many ranches in Australia, why did Allen choose to find the source of goods from the ranch started by indigenous people? It was for this reason.

First, it is called the Indigenous Development and Progress Committee, but among the 12 members of this committee, only 3 are indigenous people, and the other 9 are all white!

It's all a routine. No matter how hard they try, they can't escape the clutches of the British masters.

And Allen was trying to make up for it in advance for the sake of his reputation.

In the information society of the future, he is afraid that others will find fault with him and dig up his family's dark history.

So coming here early to discuss business with the ranch run by the indigenous people can be considered a form of "compensation", right?

A noble lord would never make a mistake. If you pick on my dark history, then my descendants in the Hill family have already started to make up for it, quietly and without publicity.

And the second point.

The Aboriginal territories are all in the north, the Northern Territory!

First of all, it is close to China and transportation is convenient. He makes instant noodles, so it is also convenient to transport them there. Moreover, the supply of goods from the indigenous people is safer. Their production methods are more backward in comparison, and they are not as cunning as the white ranchers. The beef is safer to use and the price is low!

With just one small action, you can both "make up for it" and get the goods. How great!

…

"Your character is truly admirable. So many years have passed, and you only took some information and sent some servants to guide the work. You can still remember these natives."

Ninian glanced at Alan and complimented him.

"Heh... After so many years, I still read about the past in some old documents at home. Every time I think about it, I can't sleep at night. I always want to do something for them, but this place is so far away from home, and there is really only so much I can do."

"You are already very good to be able to do this! No one will question your character!"

The two of them exchanged some business pleasantries, and then Ninian watched the celebratory parade go away before signaling the driver to go back to his Governor's Palace for dinner.

…

After Christmas, with only one day left in 1988, Allen prepared to set off back home.

He has been here for almost a month and is a bit bored. The main reason is that he did not bring a female companion this time. He just wanted to relax and have some peace and quiet.

But after such a long period of peace and quiet, he became a little anxious and homesick!

Old Carl took Cameron back to America the day after Christmas. Kubo Tanaka from Sony also brought his people back to the island country to report on the negotiations. Apart from Allen, the only people left in the villa were Hut and a group of servants who served Allen.

…

After breakfast early in the morning, the energetic Alan took the still sleepy Xiao Huang to do morning exercises!

It is the nature of an owl to hide during the day and come out at night. Since Xiao Huang followed Alan, he has been forced to develop the habit of hiding at night and coming out during the day, but his nature is there and it cannot be changed in a short time. Every time he is woken up by Alan in the morning, he looks listless.

"Wake up! Go!"

Alan kicked Xiao Huang, who was standing at his feet with his head lowered, and threw a meatball at him, hoping to cheer him up.

Xiao Huang barely raised his head and watched the meatball fall to the ground in an arc, while he stood there motionless.

"Lazy bastard!"

It's not so bad in winter. Little Yellow is quite energetic in the morning. But the hotter the place, the lazier it becomes. Alan looked at the listless Little Yellow and didn't force it.

Just as he turned around and was about to go back, Hutt, holding a newspaper, gestured to Allen from a distance.

…

"Master! Something happened."

"What's wrong?"

"Uh...see for yourself."

Hut was a little hesitant to say anything and handed the newspaper to Alan.

"Oh? Is this another report about me?"

Alan took the newspaper but was not in a hurry to read it. He turned around and kicked Xiao Huang, signaling it to follow, and then asked Hut to prepare morning tea for him.

Alan doesn't want to read the newspaper without drinking tea and eating dessert. There is no sense of ceremony!

…

Xiao Huang pinched a cookie and put it in his mouth. He stared at Alan and when he saw him eating, he opened his mouth and wanted Alan to feed him.

"Eat your ass, get out of here!"

When I played with you in the morning, you looked like you were dying. Now that you see food, you become energetic again!

Ignoring Xiao Huang, Alan picked up the newspaper, shook it and unfolded it.

The front-page headlines were still about the current economic situation, and he was tired of seeing this kind of news.

Turn over one photo and the second one is his new movie poster.

Hugh Grant has a gloomy face facing left, Monica faces right, with their backs to each other and a wall between them. There are only close-ups of their heads, and the background below is blurred, replaced by a sea of ​​waves.

The overall poster gives people a feeling of fire above and sea below.

The letters "Deep Water" are marked at the top of the poster!

It still looks very exciting. No one can tell what the plot is just by looking at the poster.

Anyway, the row of letters at the bottom of the poster are very fancy.

What is Earl Allen's latest masterpiece?

Earl Allen's Christmas gift to the American people.

The best actor at the Venice Film Festival participated in the film, and so on.

It looks very classy!

…

But apart from the poster with the picture, the news headline below does not look so pleasant.

——Reprinted from The Washington Post.

"Does the Earl openly discriminate against black people?"

"???"

"What is that?"

Allen looked at the title and had a lot of question marks in his mind: When did I discriminate against black people?

So many of the “employees” in Gambia who work so hard to provide him with commissions are black!

Picking up the teacup and taking a sip of tea to calm himself, Alan continued reading the newspaper.

It turns out that this movie has received a huge response since it was released on Christmas!

Allen thought that since the Americans were in the financial crisis, there would definitely be fewer people going to the movies.

But he was a bit trapped in misconception.

There are more unemployed people and more bankrupt people.

But does this prevent American people from watching movies?

No problem!

instead……

When many Americans heard that this was a movie made by a nobleman and was a Christmas gift for Americans, they were very impressed and prepared to go to the cinema to support this British earl.

Then……

The day after Christmas Eve, the whole family went to the cinema happily to watch a movie.

Regardless of the three views, the movie is still very good.

Although this movie is not restricted, it is still in Allen's old style, a borderline movie!

This time the film is even more extreme than Allen's first movie!

If it wasn't for the fact that there was no exposure, it would have almost been rated restricted!

A family with children watching this?!

Although the movie is exciting, most viewers feel a little restless and uneasy after watching it.

It's a bit exaggerated to say that one would cheat on his wife just by watching a movie.

But after watching this movie, I felt like I had opened the door to a new world!

You know, due to the economic situation, the current atmosphere in the United States is generally pessimistic and depressing.

When people are depressed and pessimistic, they really need to vent and get stimulated!

It was like opening Pandora's box.

…

The movie originally received very high reviews. The male and female protagonists were both good-looking, and the story was exciting. Some people gave positive reviews based on human nature, while others gave positive reviews based on the story structure.

Anyway, good reviews outweigh bad reviews!

Because this movie is fresh! The subject matter is very interesting, and the pictures are very exciting. Don't worry about whether it is distorted or not. Ordinary people don't care about this, because their values ​​are just like that anyway.

But at this time, a group of people jumped out and started to make a fuss!

Black person!

…

In this movie "Deep Water", I don't know if it was intentional, but there is not a single black person among all the actors in the movie!

This caused great dissatisfaction among the black community in America!

They have been spoiled by Americans. In America, no matter what movie it is, even if you use it for passers-by, you have to put in a few black people as the ensemble cast. You can't have all the actors be white!

Although the earl was British, the movies he made were "American movies"!

If the story is set in the United States, it is an American movie. Since it is an American movie, how can there be no black actors among the actors?

This is racial discrimination!

…

It was originally a very small matter, but this group of people fanned the flames, attracting more people's attention, and then the heat increased.

certainly……

No idiot has come forward to ask this earl far away in Britain to apologize. They are just "discussing" this matter from a politically correct perspective.

but……

Alan squinted his eyes and looked at the newspaper. It was said to be a discussion, but on the entire piece of paper, among the full letters, Alan only saw one word - stir up trouble!

"It's fucking weird. Someone actually dares to cause trouble for me?"

"Hut!"

"I'm here, young master!"

Alan shook the newspaper and asked, "Are there any other reports?"

In this kind of thing, Allen seems to be the one who is leading the pace. He currently doesn't know if there is someone guiding him behind the scenes, but there is a key point in this report!

Reprinted from The Washington Post.

At first glance, this newspaper name sounds ordinary and rustic.

But this newspaper is a well-known newspaper in the United States!

Being reported by them seems to have a lot of public opinion, so I need to prepare in advance.

"Hmm? Speak! What do you think?"

…

The corner of Hut's mouth twitched, and the young master asked him what he thought?

How can he see it?

If this happened in Wales, no matter what, they would send people to shut down the newspaper overnight, bring the person in charge back to the castle, and make him kneel at the gate of the manor!

But this is not Wales.
