Angus looked at Alan with a wronged expression.

Who knows...

He finished his speech happily, and when the meeting was over, he wanted to look for Alan, only to find that Alan was gone!

He is the only one left!

Then what happened next was something Angus could not have imagined. He was "cyberbullied", which could be considered the predecessor of cyberbullying, or should be called noble bullying. Many nobles stood up to accuse him.

Angus, who encountered such a thing for the first time, followed Alan's example and ran away.

…

"Where did you go?"

“I’m back in Kenya…”

"???"

Alan saw that the creature was obviously tanned and had a rounder belly. It turned out that it had gone back to Kenya to gain weight. After all, the African zoo has a good environment for keeping people healthy.

I don't want to discuss this topic any further as Alan has other things to do right now.

Angus had never been exposed to this kind of thing since he was a child. Although he is now a duke, his political awareness is very poor. It's just a proposal.

What is a proposal?

When something is brought up for discussion, it is inevitable that there will be arguments.

If you want peace and quiet, just hide away. Britain is so vast, why can't you hide anywhere?

…

Seeing that Alan didn't say anything, Angus didn't want to bother asking Alan why he ran away early.

"Alan, what are you going to do next?"

"I'm going to make a movie soon."

Alan picked up the newspaper on the table. An interesting little thing happened in the island country some time ago.

It didn't attract Alan's attention at first, but when he was reading the newspaper today, he realized that he seemed to have been innocently implicated.

…

"Why are you filming a movie again? Why don't you come with me to America? Didn't you want me to introduce you to buying an ice hockey team some time ago?"

Angus moved the stool, and the old-fashioned solid wood stool creaked under his pressure.

"Don't buy it yet. I'm busy recently. You can go to the club when you have time. You can enjoy the rest by yourself."

Alan put away the newspaper, stood up, and took Angus to eat, preparing to appease this temporary spokesperson.

…

After lunch, Alan said goodbye to the confused Angus and returned to the study.

The follow-up progress from the United States has not been reported back yet. Allen wondered if he had done something wrong recently. Why did it seem like everything was against him?

The newspaper in front of me reported an interesting story from the Far East.

A man from the island country was caught by a girl on the subway, and then she called the police to report him for molesting others.

This kind of thing happens frequently in the island country, there was a pervert on the train, and Alan was just watching for fun.

but……

If it were ordinary news, if it was reported like this, it would definitely not be called interesting news, and the British media would not be so bored as to take the trouble to report it in the newspaper.

What is so interesting about this matter?

The Japanese man who was caught by the police was half a car's length away from the girl at the time. According to him, he looked in the direction of the girl to check the arrival notice on the subway to see which station he had arrived at, not to see the girl.

But the island country police took some surprising action.

They did not believe what the man said, but instead issued a search warrant and asked the police to search the man's home. As expected, they collected the so-called "evidence" - a pornographic magazine.

"???"

A man was falsely accused of molestation by a girl on the subway, and there was no evidence on him to prove that he had done such a thing. He was so far away from the girl at the time, but people actually concluded that he was a pervert based on a small magazine found in his home?

I have to say that the island country’s police are very logical in their work.

The arrested man will definitely not accept it. If the charges are proven, he will have to go to jail for at least one to three years. Most importantly, he will have to pay compensation!

Then the man found a lawyer, who was also very diligent and helped him find evidence. The girl who called the police to arrest him had reported similar cases four times last year before she met him, and received a huge amount of compensation of about 50,000 pounds in total!

This is 50,000 pounds, which is already a lot in a place like an island country!

Moreover, the several men who were caught by the girls lacked strong evidence. They could not prove that they had not molested the girls, but the girls could not provide evidence to prove that they had molested them.

In the end, it’s always the men who get arrested, have to pay money, and go to jail.

…

In fact, judging from the newspapers, the logic of this matter is very clear. This girl is about to turn this kind of thing into an industrial chain. She makes 50,000 pounds a year. It's only March this year, and she's about to make another deal. She's going to lose 10,000 or 20,000 pounds to each person. If she persists for a few more years, she might become a millionaire or something.

The man was dissatisfied and appealed, and then...

He was convicted just because of the pornographic magazine found in his house!

…

And what is Allen concerned about?

He didn't care whether the man was wrongly accused or not, but the picture published in the newspaper was the pornographic magazine found in the man's home.

This is a foreign magazine. On the cover is a blonde old woman who is wearing very scantily clad clothes and squatting on the ground. On the left is a large magazine title: "Sailor's Happy Hour".

This is the magazine in his home that was defined as military supplies!

This was the first time I saw a magazine at home in a newspaper, but I didn’t expect it to be in this kind of news.

This made Alan a little unhappy. Although the nature of this magazine is, ahem... that bad, you can't openly say that the readers of our magazine are perverts!

There are a lot of British sailors who have read this magazine. Many sailors read it every year and every month. So are they all perverts?

Alan directly asked the servant to notify Hut to come over.

…

"Master?"

"Look at this newspaper!"

Alan handed Hut the newspaper and asked him to take a look first.

"???"

Hut saw the magazine cover so clearly in the picture at a glance. He looked up at Alan in surprise and continued reading the news.

After watching the news, Hut was speechless.

"Send someone with a lawyer to sue this woman! Sue the court that convicted her! Get this man out, and the media that took the photo for this magazine, and make them pay compensation, saying they slandered our magazine!"

Hut shook the newspaper and understood what Alan meant.

You Japanese people can do whatever you want behind closed doors, but as long as it involves foreign masters...

Then the consequences will not continue as they expected. This magazine may seem insignificant, but it is not something they can define as they wish. Does that mean that people who read this magazine are perverts?

Don't talk nonsense.

"Okay, young master. I'll arrange someone right away."

"Um……"

…

After a while, by the beginning of April, the mornings in Wales were no longer too cold.

Alan was wearing a long spring sportswear and taking Xiao Huang to play on the lawn of the manor early in the morning.

A very cool Lotus, or Lotus sports car, buzzed into the manor. The sports car was about to speed up to the parking lot, but when it saw Alan in the distance, it braked and slowly pulled to the edge of the lawn.

Old man Patrice slowly got out of the car, holding a few documents in his hand. He waved at Allen from a distance and said, "Master! I brought the documents today. I'll come to the study to see you later?"

"Show it to me!"

"OK!"

Patrice didn't care that his leather shoes would be stained by the dew on the grass, and walked towards Allen on tiptoe.

…

Xiao Huang staggered and landed at Alan's feet with a thud. He curiously poked his head out to see what Alan was holding in his hand.

This silly bird is curious about everything. It wants to peck at everything it sees to see if it can eat it.

Alan deliberately squatted down and let it look at the information in his hand.

"Go play somewhere else, you can't eat this."

After patting Xiao Huang's head, Alan opened the not-too-thick book.

This is the cast list!

The first one is of a man with glasses and a slightly bald head. His hooked nose is very distinctive and fits many people's inherent impression of the French, but he is actually a Hispanic actor.

Jean Reno, born in Casablanca, is a Spanish-French actor. He is now 40 years old and has appeared in three movies. He is still tepid in middle age, but he looks very elegant. Jean Reno in the photo looks a little silly and looks like an honest man.

…

"Master... this is the male protagonist I chose, the father of the little heroine. Take a look. Are you satisfied?"

"Hmm... not bad."

Allen was very satisfied with Jean Reno's image, who looked like a savior at first glance.

Don’t ask Allen why he had to let a Frenchman play the role of the heroine’s father, because many people have this inherent impression of the French: they like to take over.

My great France is romantic, but what happens after the romance?

There is a high probability that romance will result in the fruition of romance after romance. Someone has to take over this thing, right?

so……

We have to choose a French character who fits the public's impression of him.

…

Turning to the next page, this is the heroine's sister, the Chinese person that Allen requested.

Looking at the photo, Alan raised his eyebrows. Why does the person in the photo look familiar?

Shuzhen...

Last year, in 1998, she participated in the Miss Hong Kong pageant, but was accused of having plastic surgery. She had a very bad temper and withdrew from the competition in anger.

Looking at the several photos in the profile, some are pure, while others are dressed in ancient costumes with an evil look.

Especially when her face was in profile, the corners of her mouth were slightly curved, and she looked very evil when she smiled.

This is exactly what Allen wanted.

Besides, she is only 20 years old this year. As a girl, she will look very young with a little makeup. It is very suitable for her to play the role of the heroine's sister!

…

Patrice looked at Allen who was looking through the information, especially when Allen was looking through the actress's information, he nodded subconsciously, which made Patrice feel relieved.

It’s not easy to choose an actress!

It has to be him. He knows the young master's aesthetic sense and temper very well. If someone else were to do this job, it would definitely not be possible!

…

Next, there is another actress who appears more frequently and will play the role of a teacher.

Alan flipped through Shuzhen's information and found another actress behind her.

Julianne Moore.

The name...

Alan looks a little unfamiliar, but I seem to have a vague impression of him. Looking at the photo, his face also seems a little familiar, but I just can't remember what role he has played.

She is only 28 years old this year, with some freckles on her face and brown-red hair, and looks a bit exotic.

One thing that was specifically noted in the information was that her father had Welsh ancestry!

I don't know why Patrice specifically pointed this out.

…

Before Alan could express his doubts, Patrice, who had been observing him, spoke first: "Master... don't look at her. She is a TV actress and has not acted in many works, but her acting skills are not bad. She was introduced by an acquaintance."

"Oh? An acquaintance introduced you?"

The person Patrice said was introduced by an acquaintance must at least be someone Allen knows.

"I went to America to select actors this time and met Meryl. She wanted to come."

Patrice hummed and hawed about someone else, Meryl, the heroine of Allen's first film.

This Oscar-winning actress is still very famous in the United States. Her relationship with Allen...

Others may not know, but Patrice knows. Although he came later, he has heard some of the rumors about the family after staying here for a long time.

Patrice hesitated for a moment but decisively rejected Meryl, who volunteered to take the job and even refused to take any pay!

The young master knew this person and had a brief affair with her, but why didn't he approach her directly this time?

Don’t you understand the meaning here?

Later, a somewhat sad Meryl recommended Julianne Moore to Patrice.

Meryl knew Allen's preferences very well, so she helped Allen choose an actor according to her own standards.

When Patrice found Julianne Moore's information, he felt that she was a perfect fit!

Not to mention her Welsh ancestry, her appearance is very consistent with European aesthetics, with a high nose and deep eyes. Her facial features are somewhat tough, but they are also mixed with a bit of heroism and charm.

The young master should like this type. The key is that this girl has only been married for a short time...

This is a big plus!

…

"Meryl recommended it?"

Alan took a look at Julianne Moore's profile again. She was quite pleasing to the eye. She was 1.65 meters tall, had a nice and slender figure, and a good body proportion. Her tough looks, with a little makeup, made her very suitable for uniforms... well, very suitable for playing a teacher!

"Yeah, it's OK."

Behind these files, there are some files of backup actors, but since he already has the first few, Alan has no interest in even looking through the rest.

"Get ready to negotiate the contract with them. The script is almost ready. We'll start filming after we finish negotiating the contract in a few days!"

Allen, who hasn't made a movie for a long time, felt itchy when he thought about this.

…

"Okay, sir, but there is one more thing."

"explain!"

"I went to Hong Kong to select actors this time and encountered a little trouble. Governor Wei Dewei entertained me and asked me to bring you a letter."

Putting aside the letter, Alan was more curious about what kind of trouble Patrice could get into, especially in a place like Hong Kong.

"Someone is giving you trouble?"

"No, no, no... uh, it's not really a problem, it's just this one."

Patrice took the file from Alan, flipped through it, found Shuzhen's file, pointed it out to Alan and said, "When she was selected, someone seemed to have some complaints."
