Alan was busy with equestrian training some time ago, and was later delayed by other things. He skipped classes every now and then and has not been to school for many days.
As soon as I entered the public classroom, my eyes were attracted by a huge poster on the wall.
This should be a modified version of an old movie poster.
The theme is the old American movie "King Kong".
It is the picture of the giant gorilla standing on the Empire State Building. On the poster at this time, the gorilla is holding a large flagpole with the American flag hanging on it.
But what’s funny is that originally the stars on the American flag were all white, and the stripes were also red and white.
But now on the American-Spangled Banner on the poster, the stars are black, and the red and white stripes have become red and black.
It’s hard to say what this poster represents, but combined with the gorilla, it makes people imagine a lot. In addition, there is a bubble frame next to the gorilla, which says: "America belongs to me!"
A black gorilla, holding a black Stars and Stripes banner, on top of the Empire State Building.
Which Wolong came up with this?
…
George loyally held the seat for Alan, and when he saw Alan coming, he quickly gave up his seat.
"Sir, you are finally here."
"Haha, who put up that poster?"
Alan asked, pointing at the poster, let's call it the Orangutan Manifesto.
"That one?"
George glanced at the poster, thought for a moment, and shook his head, saying, "Some time ago, there was a big fuss in the newspapers about the movie in America, so a classmate put this poster up. I don't know who did it."
…
"Oh? You still care about this?"
Alan's eyes flickered. Wow, this news dissemination is quite impressive. He is indeed a college student and keeps up with current affairs.
The controversy over the recent movie withdrawals is still going on as of today.
It’s not that Alan doesn’t want to solve it, but he is deliberately dragging his feet!
First, his movie hasn't been released in some states in the United States. Second...
He also wants to sell videotapes!
Let's not talk about the content of the movie, but there was no problem with the sales of the videotapes. His movie was taken off the screen normally in early February, and when his videotapes were officially released in April, he asked old Carl to deliberately bribe several tabloids to deliberately bring up the matter again. In short, he was trying to stir up trouble.
Continue to generate hype, and then use the news to promote his movie video.
Whenever the news is starting to lose its heat, old Carl would resort to the same old tricks and bribe a few small media outlets to influence the trend.
They're driving the MPAA people crazy, and they can't even tell who's at fault.
The cause is simple.
The film was rectified after review and successfully obtained the restricted rating mark after the rectification, but when it was released, the film was replaced with the old version before the rectification.
After the movie was taken off the screen, the producer not only did not come out and say anything to admit their mistake, but instead they kept arguing and dragging their feet for several months, with no end in sight.
Now the American Film Association no longer wants to pursue the matter and just wants the news related to this movie to disappear as soon as possible, because they found that as long as there is news, the movie will be promoted at the same time, and they are being used as promotional material!
And it’s for free!
…
But Allen didn't expect that in Britain, which had always been calm, college students would also be interested in this kind of news.
"Oh... very good. I'll ask who made this poster when I have time."
"Yes, sir!"
George looked excited. Alan finally gave him a task that looked like an order.
Speaking of movies, George thought for a moment and said hesitantly, "Sir, I am actually a fan of yours as well."
"oh?"
Alan looked at the freckles on George's face. People with freckles on their faces usually look a little silly.
"Have you seen all my movies?"
“I’ve seen it!”
"Uh... my favorite is still your movie Deep Water, that... is more exciting!"
George had a somewhat obscene expression on his face. When talking about this, he even forgot the difference in status between them and began to take the initiative to tell Allen which of Allen's movies he liked.
The first movie was more female-oriented, so he thought it wasn't very good. But the second one, Deep Water, which was about cheating, looked very exciting, and he liked it very much.
But in the third film, "The Bad Seed" which was released not long ago, he looked just so-so.
…
"Sir, that Italian girl Monica is really pretty, and her acting skills are really... amazing."
George was dancing with joy.
"So you don't like Meryl?"
"Ah... I don't like it. I hate Thatcher and I hate actors who imitate her look."
"Hahaha……"
Alan found it very interesting to listen to the first-hand voices of ordinary college students.
Thatcher, the old Prime Minister, has been in power for ten years this year. During her years in office, many British people hated her.
Everyone's economic income has become lower and many people have lost their jobs. If I don't hate her, who else can I hate?
…
"Sir, you see... well, the movies you make are more or less oriented towards women. In fact, you have a lot of male fans. Next time you make a movie, can you please take care of your male fans and make a purely male-oriented movie? It would be even better if it is more exciting."
George finally put forward his opinion after some hesitation.
"Purely male-oriented?"
Alan was thoughtful when he heard this suggestion...
The few films he had made before were mainly for practice and to accurately capture clients.
It is an indisputable fact that more women were unemployed in the UK in the past few years.
Think about a factory. When faced with layoffs, for the same workers or employees, will the men or women be laid off first?
The women will definitely be laid off first!
Because male workers are more stable and more useful!
With so many audiences, and he also has a duck farm, of course he has to make movies for females first.
Now that George gave him advice, Allen felt that it was not impossible to consider it. Anyway, he had always wanted to make a science fiction film. Isn't that what men like to watch?
Starry sky, battleships, explosions, alien elements, isn’t that it?
"Okay...I'll think about it."
…
The next morning, Alan got up very early. He felt refreshed after letting out a sigh of relief yesterday. In addition, he had been taking care of his health at home recently, so his work and rest schedule had become regular.
Get up in the morning and have breakfast with William and Harry, and then go to school in Cardiff together.
I had just picked up a spring roll and hadn't eaten it yet when Ceylon hurriedly appeared in the restaurant with a newspaper. He glanced at Alan with an anxious look on his face.
…
"Ceylon? Have you had breakfast? Come over here, what's up?"
Alan looked at Ceylon's expression, put down his chopsticks and waved. Unless there was something urgent, these people would generally not disturb him while he was eating.
"Your Mightiness……"
Ceylon looked at Alan, then at the two princes eating next to him. He seemed to want to say something but stopped. After thinking for a while, he could only hand the newspaper in his hand to Alan.
Taking the newspaper handed to him by Ceylon, Alan frowned slightly, shook the newspaper and opened it.
The Times is one of the most influential newspapers in the UK.
Looking at the photo on the front page.
On the left is Thatcher, who is old and ugly, with her head like a big ball of marshmallow wrapped around it. On the right is Diana, who is wearing gorgeous makeup and an evening gown.
The content of the news headlines is very interesting.
Thatcher: There was clear stupidity in her eyes!
…
The more Alan looked, the worse his expression became.
This is a news article about yesterday's interview with Thatcher.
This is mainly because some tabloids were concerned about the relationship between the prince and the princess some time ago.
Then Thatcher made a shocking statement, directly accusing Diana of being uneducated, emotional and a stupid woman who would not help men in their careers.
This is the princess!
This old guy actually said this in front of reporters.
She mocked Diana from every angle.
…
Alan threw the newspaper on the dining table with a "bang", which scared William who was trying to eat.
"Ceylon, I don't want to watch it anymore, you read it!"
"ah?"
Ceylon looked at Alan, who was leaning on the chair with his arms folded and his eyes closed, and then looked at the two princes who were curious. This...
He gritted his teeth, picked up the newspaper, and read the news from the beginning.
Harry is still young and he can't understand yet, but William is already eight years old and he understands something!
He understood.
I also understood why Alan was angry just now.
Just as he was about to speak, Ceylon continued, "Doesn't she have Hill family blood in her? Haha... She is the earl in the Welsh countryside. She is just like the earl Allen, both of them are uneducated and unskilled!"
"No wonder they are from the same family. One dropped out of high school and the other barely finished high school. Such aristocrats with low cultural level, think about what kind of people they are, they are really a bunch of parasites! I am so disappointed in them."
…
"???"
Alan, who was pretending to be asleep with his eyes closed, suddenly heard Ceylon reading his name.
Alan opened his eyes in confusion and looked at Ceylon, as if to confirm whether he was hallucinating.
But what he got was Ceylon's awkward and ruthless nod of confirmation.
"stop!"
Alan asked for the newspaper and confirmed it again personally. Looking at the paragraph pointed out by Ceylan, it was indeed the same as what she had just read, and she was also scolded.
damn it.
You are a prime minister, and instead of handling affairs properly you go and scold people?
It's bad enough that you curse people, but you also interfere in the internal affairs of the royal family.
I was studying diligently in Wales and didn't even know you, yet now I've suffered this unexpected disaster.
Alan got angry all of a sudden!
As we all know, Diana dropped out of high school due to family reasons and was known as a poor student.
What about Alan...
For some reason, but he finished high school.
How can this be attributed to lack of knowledge?
and……
Why do I need you to butt in on what I'm doing?
"William?!"
"What's wrong cousin?"
Allen pointed at the newspaper and asked William to look at the photo. "See? This rubbish has been in the position of Prime Minister for ten years, but he has done nothing and now he is cursing like a shrew!"
William lowered his head and looked at the photo of Thatcher in the newspaper without saying a word.
"Let someone send William and Harry to school later. Ceylon, come with me to the study!"
Alan stood up, picked up the newspaper and went upstairs angrily.
…
The Prime Minister's Office in London at this time.
Thatcher put down the coffee cup, looked at the newspaper in her hand, and smiled slightly.
The report was very authentic, without any over-interpretation. Whatever she said was published in the newspaper.
What was the first movie Allen made?
It was a reflection of her movie. She was furious after watching the movie. She even heard from inside sources that the Queen laughed after watching it, which made Thatcher even angrier!
But they didn't mention anyone by name, they just said that the actor looked more like her, and it was a movie that was very biased towards women. If she dared to accuse or say something bad about him in public, she would be in trouble!
In addition, the man's background was very strong at the time, and to be honest, she couldn't afford to offend Allen.
But now…
Things change over time. Isn't the princess's position unstable now?
In addition, as public opinion had been very negative about her recently, Thatcher's advisory team suggested that she take a risky move and create a big news to cover up the negative news and comments about her.
The trick they use is to cover up the truth and replace the concept.
It's better to have a war of words with the nobles than to face accusations from the people unilaterally, right?
If done well, it could also make her position more stable.
Even if the operation is not done well, with the fame of those two people, they can successfully cover up the news about her. In short, she will not lose out!
so……
Yesterday she called the reporters in, fired at full force, and was full of sarcasm. Today...
Sure enough, it made headlines in all media!
Thatcher became even happier when she thought about what would happen next. This could be considered revenge for the movie two years ago!
…
Alan returned to the study, asked Ceylon to sit for a while, and asked the servants to prepare tea and snacks. Then he took out the manuscript paper and began to write furiously while comparing it with the interview in the newspaper.
Ceylon looked at it curiously, but couldn't see clearly what was written on the manuscript.
…
Theoretically speaking, there are several ways to deal with this kind of unexpected disaster, but the most correct way is to respond positively, clarify, or change the subject.
But once a response is given, the popularity of this news will not go down in a short time.
Whether it is the person who is scolding or the person who is scolded, losing face is inevitable.
Of course, Allen knew that it wouldn't matter even if he didn't respond.
But he's not like that!
After being scolded, Diana hoped that Boss Cha would come out and speak for her, but she was wishful thinking.
Now Thatcher not only scolded the princess, but also scolded him as well. This was intolerable.
If he doesn't say something, all these years of his life will have been wasted!
Why should I suffer such an unexpected disaster for being an honest man? Since Thatcher dared to openly mock Diana and the Hill family, then Allen, as Diana's family member, must stand up and say something!
Old man, I have tolerated you for a long time and have not caused you any trouble. How dare you take the initiative to cause trouble for me?
…
After half an hour, Allen put down his pen, picked up the manuscript paper, looked at it, nodded with satisfaction, tore off a few sheets of manuscript paper, handed them to Ceylon and said, "Contact several media that have cooperated with us and send this response to them. I want this response to appear tomorrow morning, where it should appear, so that the people who should see it can see it. Do you understand?"
Ceylon took the manuscript and started reading it subconsciously due to his profession, but as he read, his mouth opened slightly and he was a little stunned!
