It's not about arguing with them, but about making a movie and giving them some explosive tidbits.
but……
Alan has a toothache and he wants to make a science fiction movie!
Now that Cameron is in hand, he had originally planned to make a science fiction film today!
It's not worthy of Master Allen's current level to just touch the edge!
Now that I have money, I’ll shoot big ones!
But when trying to be weird in science fiction films, it always feels like using a cannon to kill a mosquito, which is a waste of talent.
…
Who, with any education at all, would be so picky about the gifts given by others?
Even those who give gifts with sarcastic words?
The more Allen thought about it, the angrier he got. Damn it, this movie is for Americans, but not for black people!
"Call Hutt over here!"
Alan thought about it, sorted out his thoughts, and prepared to take some countermeasures.
He took out a pen and paper, changed his feet, asked the maid to press them alternately, and adjusted his sitting position.
…
First… let’s get some clarification from the media.
This is very important.
Although these trash are not on the same level as me, any normal person would think that I have something to hide if I don’t respond to public opinion!
Silence, this doesn't work in the Western world!
Secondly, not only should we respond, but we should also fight back with the help of the British media.
I am a count, and you little black guys can smear me whenever you want?
The BBC has a good relationship with him, and he even invited people from the BBC to come this time!
Then……
He will make another movie depending on the situation. Even if it is just to vent his anger, Allen is ready to find something to do with black Americans!
Nothing else, I just don't like them!
…
While waiting for Hut to arrive, Alan picked up several other documents and looked through them slowly, and soon discovered a new problem.
Among these weird people, there are very few white people, most of them are black, and according to old Carl's investigation, the Washington Post has a black editor-in-chief!
These people...
Um?
This can be used.
The trouble-making talent in Alan's body is instantly awakened. Counterattack is useless. He wants to cause trouble and sow discord!
I need to attract some white leftists to help me vent my anger!
Then I pretend to be a green tea, be more generous, and improve my image, um...
This is good!
…
"Master! You are looking for me."
"Hey...please help me make an appointment with the people from the BBC's distinguished channel. I want to come forward to clarify this recent incident. See if they are interested!"
"oh?"
Hut frowned and thought for a while, and felt that this method would work. He had been silent all the time when he was in Australia some time ago, and it could be used as an excuse for not watching the news. Now that he is back, he must speak out.
"Then... Master..."
"Don't worry about anything else for now. Go make an appointment first. The sooner the better! Then ask Siphis to come over."
Alan thought for a moment and asked, "Have Siphis and the others returned?"
He packed up all those employees and sent them on a trip to Spain. Alan never asked about them, and he didn't know whether they had returned or not.
"Ah? I'm back, I'm back. I came back a long time ago!"
"That's fine! Also call the two screenwriters over. I have something to tell them. Go ahead!"
"OK!"
…
The temperature in Wales in January is still very low, but as it is a marine climate, it is definitely not as cold as inland areas.
When the BBC Premium Channel arrived in Carmarthen with its interview team, they thought that the interview would still be conducted at the Earl's home, but they unexpectedly encountered a new twist!
They were taken to a wood not far from the estate.
The surroundings were decorated like a primeval forest, and Alan's dress at this time, how should I put it, looked like an ordinary volunteer, of course, this was without looking at his face.
"Then who... my face is so clean? What does it look like? Paint it! Make it a little dirty, but don't let it affect the image!"
After hearing what Alan said, the makeup artist gritted his teeth, mixed some brown eye shadow, and made Alan's face look a bit dirty.
Standing in front of Alan with a mirror, Alan looked in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction.
Then, I noticed the female host, Ceylon, who was dressed very formally.
"Oh, Ms. Ceylon, please make another trip."
"Haha, I've read all your recent stuff. I'm very angry about the criticism you've received. It's an honor to be able to serve you!"
"Haha, thank you for your hard work! Hutt, bring some small gifts to the crew later, and pack up the specialties we brought back from Australia!"
"Okay, Master!"
Hut responded from a distance and quickly asked the servants to prepare gifts.
…
When Ceylon heard what Allen said, he laughed even more happily. Sir Allen was indeed the most cultured nobleman and very generous!
"Sir... are you ready for today's interview?"
Ceylon looked at the surroundings, somewhat unsure of what Alan meant.
"Hmm... Wait a minute, I'll prepare the props. This is what I was thinking. Spring is coming soon. As the lord of Carmarthen, I'm also responsible for taking care of the national park. This time I'm going to nail some bird nests on the trees and make a contribution to the protected animals in the national park!"
“…”
If Ceylon hadn't had good professional ethics, she would have almost lost control. This gentleman really loves hunting!
Although she didn't know about Alan and William, the two brothers openly drove a pickup truck and fired machine guns everywhere in the national park, but a nobleman who loved hunting now stood up and said that he was contributing to animal protection?
What’s the difference between this and a wolf showing up and helping the rabbit dig a hole?
Self-production and self-sales, right?
…
"Okay, Your Excellency... I'll follow your arrangements."
Ceylon looked at the wooden bird's nest handed to him by the servant. It looked rough but beautiful.
Alan took the bird's nest, put the microphone in his collar, and then signaled Ceylon that he could start filming.
After the photographer gave a thumbs up, Alan took the bird's nest, and with the help of the servants, he stepped on the ladder and lay on the treetop to nail the bird's nest.
Never mind why volunteers need to bring servants with them when doing charity work. They are aristocrats. Will being a volunteer affect them bringing servants?
The servants don't have any opinions, so what opinions do the audience have? !
…
Bang bang bang!
The bird's nest was nailed very firmly. Alan leaned back slightly. Several servants who were holding the ladder below quickly sent two people to stand below and stretch out their hands slightly to prevent the young master from stepping on air and falling.
Looking at the finished bird's nest with satisfaction, Alan was just about to turn his head and say a few words to the camera.
A fat white owl glided silently and landed very accurately in the bird's nest.
The bird looked around with its big yellow eyes. It had clearly dived into the nest, but its whole body was so fat that it filled the entire nest. It turned its head to try to get out, but was stuck again. It looked at Alan and screamed in anxiety.
"You idiot! Why did you come out!?"
Alan didn't expect that just when he was about to pose for a photo, this stupid bird would come. This is a bird's nest for wild birds, not for owls!
Xiao Huang is now standing on the ground, and he is almost forty centimeters tall!
It looks bigger than the average small dog. It is still a juvenile and can still grow. Plus, it eats meat every day, so it is much fatter than the average wild snowy owl. Its size is almost twice that of a normal wild snowy owl!
This thing flew directly into the bird's nest with a click and got stuck.
…
Ceylon wanted to laugh but didn't dare to. He just watched Alan gently hold the snowy owl in his hands and take it out of the nest.
She knew this bird; it was they who sent it last year. She didn't expect that after not seeing it for a few months, it has grown so big now. It seems to be getting along well with Earl Allen. It is indeed Lord Allen!
He is handsome and kind-hearted! You trash Americans, ignorant black people, can only point fingers at Mr. Allen. Are you worthy?
…
"Ahem, let's do one more shot. I'll pretend that I just finished nailing the bird's nest. Can we start from here?"
Alan looked at Ceylon, then looked at the photographer and said something.
"Yes! Please do it again, sir."
Ceylon looked at the servant wearing thick gloves, holding the fat bird with its claws kicking around and walking away, and felt like laughing. It seemed that this was not the first time that the bird had been taken away like this.
…
Finally, after taking a set of posed photos, Alan grabbed the ladder. When there were only a few steps left, he turned around and jumped down. Ceylon quickly stepped forward with the microphone and said, "Sir...are you a volunteer?"
"Yes! Spring is coming, and the Welsh National Park is full of people..."
Alan wiped the non-existent sweat off his face, pretended to have been busy all day, and diligently popularized to Ceylon the benefits and importance of protecting birds. The two of them boasted about their business to each other for a long time.
It doesn't look like the interview was conducted on purpose, but rather it was a coincidence that the interview took place when Mr. Allen, who was volunteering in the national park, was encountered.
Near the end, Ceylon changed the subject and said, "Sir... recently some American media have raised disputes about the use of actors in your new movie. What do you think about this?"
"Oh? There is such a thing?"
Allen had an expression as if he had just learned something, and lowered his head to listen to Ceylan telling him in detail how black Americans accused him of not using black actors and how they were sarcastic about him in the media.
This...
It is not spoken to Allen, but to the audience watching this interview in front of the TV. It is equivalent to the supporting role in crosstalk, and it is the next part. This is all routine!
Ceylan's explanation is inherently subjective. Without waiting for Allen to say anything, the audience will imagine a group of unreasonable American media and black people surrounding Mr. Allen and making trouble by just listening to Ceylan's explanation.
…
"This... I really didn't expect things to turn out like this. This is my fault. I want to apologize for not considering this issue. I don't have a deep understanding of some of the unspoken rules of the American film and television industry. The main reason is that the script editor at the time was also a newcomer and didn't think so deeply."
After listening to Ceylon's explanation, Alan did not look angry at all. Instead, he felt a little self-blame, and then he began to review himself with a serious face.
Ceylon was a little surprised by this scene. Isn't this too skillful?
…
"Sir, don't blame yourself..."
"No! As a noble, I will not allow such a thing to happen. What is the most important virtue of a noble? Bravery, trustworthiness, and loyalty! And what is bravery? In times of war, it means not fearing death and charging bravely. In times of peace, it means having the courage to admit one's mistakes and shortcomings, and then correct them!"
Ceylon was stunned by Alan's lecture and was a little stuck in his words.
After saying this, Allen waited for a few seconds, and then said, as if he realized something belatedly: "This movie was originally a small gift I gave to the American people out of my feelings about the economic winter in the United States. I wanted them to know that life is full of surprises and they need to be strong after watching the movie. But now it is interpreted like this..."
This sentence is the most important sentence in the entire interview!
Ceylon is an old reporter and a veteran in the industry. Hearing this, he instantly perked up!
Then he continued, "It was obviously a small gift from you, Your Excellency. Now someone is taking the gift and complaining about it. Aren't you angry about such a bad attitude?"
…
"angry?"
Allen was stunned, then smiled gently and said, "Why should I be angry? Some people are limited by their low education level and their appreciation of art is superficial. They only focus on the surface or the most superficial issues such as skin color, and ignore the most essential content of the film."
"We should be more tolerant towards such people."
Ceylon smiled and said, that's it!
It seems that the two of them are singing the same tune, but what they said before was all nonsense!
The above are all to establish the character of Lord Allen. A dignified earl still comes out to volunteer and build bird nests. He cares about small animals!
He is so careful towards such little lives, how could he discriminate against certain groups?
Then……
The following words are a sarcastic British counterattack.
People who don't know much about the inside story or are not used to this way of speaking, will only listen to the literal meaning and think that the count does not agree with them, that they are just a group of ordinary people who are uneducated and know nothing, and that they should be tolerant.
As for those who can understand the meaning.
Then just accept the scolding.
I've already called you trash audiences, what else do you want?
You are so picky about the small gift sent by the Earl. How uncultured!
I'm talking about the Americans!
…
After the interview, Alan chatted with Ceylan on the way back to the manor with his hands behind his back.
"Your Excellency...I may have to transform after a while."
"Oh? You're not going to be the host anymore?"
It's a pity for Alan. Ceylon is old, but age means rich experience. He is a veteran host of the BBC and a real talent.
"Yes... I'm going to switch to the post-production department. I want to be a producer or something like that."
Ceylon said truthfully.
No matter how well a host does his job, he still gets a fixed salary. As she gets older, she wants to use the relationships she has built over the years to become a producer or something like that to see if she can make further progress.
"Hmm? Is it the kind that filmed the animal world?"
The BBC is most famous for its various animal documentaries, and Alan thought Ceylon wanted to do that.
"No... I want to make some breakthroughs elsewhere."
"Tsk...are you interested in coming to my place?"
Allen took the opportunity to invite him, saying, "Why are you hanging out with the BBC? Talented people like you should come to Mr. Allen and be his spokesperson in the future."
If there is anything, please speak up for Mr. Allen first. Reporters must be professional when it comes to arguing with people!
Then, no matter what you want to do in your daily life, Allen has a film and television group, so you can be a producer as well!
"What?"
When Ceylon heard this, her heart was pounding with excitement. She actually received an invitation from the Earl!
