Chapter 242: Cutting leeks? !



Then he began to introduce the theme of the program.

A bounty of half a million pounds!

The invited contestant, Nicole Kidman, had to walk out of the jungle at a location selected by the crew to succeed in the challenge.

Then the scene changed again and began to introduce the various logistical teams that provided logistical support for the filming.

Various plant experts, animal experts, geography experts, and meteorology experts. Don’t worry about whether they are true or not, just reading the introductions is very intimidating!

Just highlight one profession.

Then there is the rescue team composed of retired Marine Corps veterans, and the camera also shows professional rescue convoys, helicopters, and yachts.

The scene was decorated very luxuriously. Just thinking about the logistics team, you can see how much money they are burning. It really is worthy of being a program filmed by Lord Allen. The noble lord is willing to spend money!

In the past, documentaries such as Animal World produced by BBC were all realistic records, with a narration at best.

Spring is here again, and it’s time for animals to mate...something.

This time it's different.

All the logistics, configurations, mission objectives, and bounties are introduced, and then the meat of the show begins.

Allen personally appeared on the scene, pretending to be interviewed, and talked about his inner journey.

Something like it was to revitalize the empire's economy and make the efforts that a noble should make, or something like that was to promote Australian tourism.

Then there is a text introduction that the content of this season's wilderness survival is jointly sponsored and produced by 21st Century Fox Pictures (Sony), the Australian Governor-General's Office and the Australian Department of Tourism.

The cards are very high-end.

After everything was introduced, the screen went black and then switched directly to the air.

The sound of the helicopter propeller was a bit noisy, and the camera was shooting directly at her face. Nicole appeared without makeup, pointing at the Murray River below and giving a wow-wow introduction. Anyway, the audience just had to read the subtitles, as the sound had been completely blocked by the noise of the helicopter.

Without giving the audience time to react, the helicopter made a cool flip on the spot and Nicole got off!

The scene changed, and with the Murray River splashing, Nicole had already emerged from the river!

Although the filming was fake, when the film was shown, it gave people the illusion that Nicole jumped directly from a helicopter.

Very heroic!

Then……

The exciting scene came. Nicole swam slowly to the river like a mermaid and stood up from the water.

Just like in that superhero movie Aquaman, Aquaman’s biological mother was played by the older Nicole.

Nicole was still young at this time, and her clothes were soaked and stuck tightly to her body.

The photographer knows exactly what the audience wants to see, and the camera moves slowly from bottom to top...

From the feet, to the legs, then staying at the chest for a moment, it was with some regret that he captured Nicole's face.

Just at this moment, Nicole shook her head, and the water droplets from her long golden hair made a slow-motion shot in the sunlight, which was very dreamy.

Although Nicole Kidman's figure can only be considered average, her fair skin can cover up all her shortcomings. In addition, she is tall, which can offset her disadvantages in other areas.

The content of the first two episodes is very simple. Nicole accepts the reward, then arrives at the location, jumps out of the plane and starts to survive.

Elements such as the wilderness, beauty, killing, etc. are mixed together, with a little bit of edge.

The show achieved results beyond Allen's imagination.

Sunday, December 31, 1989.

It was past 11 o'clock in the evening. Alan didn't want to take Xiao Huang with him, but this guy insisted on sticking to him, so he simply stuffed Xiao Huang into his thin down jacket, leaving only its little head sticking out from the zipper at the chest.

This winter is not too cold, it is even a little warm.

Alan is very excited and wants to watch the fireworks, the New Year's Eve fireworks.

He ordered Hut to have his servants buy a large amount of fireworks, and then he went to the top floor to watch the fireworks alone.

Alan seldom went up to the top floor of the castle, but now, it was cleaned very well. A large picnic mat was laid on the ground with a small stove on it, and some roasted lamb skewers were already placed on the fire.

There are also fruits, snacks, tea and other food around.

Looking at the area around the castle that was as quiet as a wilderness, Alan felt okay.

Compared to the chaos around him, he still prefers quietness.

I looked at the watch and there were still a few minutes until twelve o'clock. I touched Xiao Huang again. After a while, the fireworks went off. I guess this silly bird must be scared to death.

“It’s finally 1990!”

Looking at the moon in the sky, Alan Nannan said something, and a BGM suddenly flashed through my mind.

"Welcome to the Nineties..."

That very magical voice refers to this era.

As we officially entered the 1990s, the Internet was also about to officially rise. Although many people have not yet truly realized what kind of changes the Internet will bring to people, Allen is still very clear that this is a new industrial revolution!

This will bring about earth-shaking changes in people's lives. The whole world will become smaller in an instant, and communication between people will become more convenient. The concept of a global village will also emerge in the future, and the overall pattern of the outside world will gradually change.

And a nouveau riche will also change his image, from a country bumpkin nouveau riche to a world policeman, stirring up trouble everywhere in the name of freedom and justice.

And as they expand, Hollywood film and television will also undergo changes.

From the previous "letting a hundred flowers bloom" of various themes to a large-scale output of consciousness.

Soil suitable for superheroes will also appear.

Thinking of this, Alan was stunned. Is it possible to snatch the copyrights of some heroes before they are filmed?

Will the Americans be able to take the photo by then?

In other words, what should he do when Hollywood blockbusters come out in the future?

Am I going to continue to be like this, doing my own thing and not fitting in?

Whether it is the three major European film festivals or the Oscars, you have to get close to one side, otherwise you can only go it alone...

The British film and television industry...

Let’s not talk about it.

"Master! The time is almost up!"

The reminder from the servant next to him interrupted Alan's thoughts. He looked at his watch and quickly waved his hand to let them go set off the fireworks.

As the first bunch of red fireworks bloomed in the sky far outside the castle gate, Xiao Huang was frightened by the huge explosion and hid in Alan's arms trembling. The former castle bully has now become such a coward.

Alan picked up the kebab and took a bite, then stared at the fireworks exploding in the sky in a daze.

"Nineties, here I come!"

"Your Excellency! Happy New Year!"

"Haha, Happy New Year!"

Alan had his hands in his pockets and looked a little rude. He had been staying at home for several days.

This time I come back, I eat and sleep, and then eat and sleep every day.

He also sent William and Harry back to Highgrove Manor to "visit relatives".

It feels so good to have nothing to worry about at home.

Today was the only day that Capel came to visit, otherwise... Alan wouldn't even want to get out of bed.

"Your Excellency... His Highness asked me to give this to you personally. Please take a look."

Capel placed a rectangular picnic-like bag on the table, then handed Allen a thick document bag.

After taking the file bag, Alan did not rush to look at it. Instead, he took the small bag, unzipped it, and looked at the contents.

Wow, the bottles and jars are quite complete.

Taking out something that looked like a perfume package, Capel quickly introduced it to Allen: "Sir... this is a detoxifying tincture."

"Detox tincture? What is that?"

Alan was puzzled when he heard this. Isn't it an organic product? How can it be called a health supplement?

"Uh...hiss, this, this..."

Capel took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off his face. “This contains artichoke and dandelion food supplements that can help with digestion and detoxification.”

"oh……"

Alan opened the box and looked at the bottle which was not much bigger than the oral liquid. The specification on it was only 50 ml. It sounded like the effect of this thing was a combination of stomach-strengthening and digestion-promoting tablets and detoxifying oral liquid?

"How much is this?"

"Uh... 10 pounds!"

"Um???"

Alan was shocked. Just a small bottle, ten pounds?

What does this mean? Let’s put it this way. Even at the normal exchange rate, the current price of this bottle is roughly equivalent to more than one hundred Huayuan. What can you do with this more than one hundred Huayuan?

This exceeds the monthly salary of more than 90% of ordinary Chinese people in this era!

It’s just a small bottle, but I still drink it!

Allen, who was somewhat suspicious, looked at Capel again, to make sure that this was not a product made by His Highness to make money?

And this brand is very interesting, it’s called Duke Original!

This original flavor does not mean the original flavor, but the taste of the food itself, without any additives!

The ingredients are very honest and the products are absolutely green and organic. Except for the price, all other aspects seem good.

The box also bears the royal emblem.

etc……

In addition to the Duke's original trademark on the box, there is also a new trademark that Alan has never seen before, which may also be a new certification.

"This is……"

"Haha..." Capel breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Alan had finally shifted his attention elsewhere. To be honest, he felt that this oral liquid was a bit unreliable, but he didn't dare to say it.

"Your Excellency, this is His Highness's certification. I came here to give you these things. His Highness said that you have always been thinking about the royal certification. Now that his certification has come out, I will rush to give it to you."

As Capel spoke, he picked up the thick file bag on the table and opened it. Inside was a schematic text and dozens of application certification forms with stamps.

"Oh? Your Highness's certification?"

Alan looked at the main body composed of three feathers and the symbol of the root of the feather inserted into the crown, which was a bit strange.

Boss Cha is really nice. He always shares good stuff with me as soon as he gets it!

Now, a thick stack of application forms with stamps have been brought to him. This means that from today on, even if Alan produces toilet brushes in the future, he can get royal certification for them.

There is a British royal certification logo on the wooden handle of the toilet brush. Doesn’t it look very high-end?

Just check out this new certification of the boss. It has just come out and it is probably not well-known, even worse than Allen’s own “Earl Certification”. Anyway, it’s better than nothing. The Crown Prince’s certification is also a royal certification!

"Hahaha, okay, I get it. I'll submit the application in the next few days."

Alan grabbed the file bag. Wow, it was filled with dozens of documents. It was enough!

Looking at the rest of the things, no matter how they taste, the packaging is very grand and classy.

There are jams, preserved fruits, cereals, jerky and other small items.

The quantity is not large, so the price will probably not be cheap.

However, this person who brings the goods has a special identity, so he should be able to reap a lot of profits.

The school started on January 20th. This semester was very short, starting in mid-January and lasting for more than a month. It was time for the holidays in March. Alan was too embarrassed to skip classes again, so before going to school, he took a walk around the office prepared for the computer special effects team in Cardiff.

As soon as he entered the office lobby, Alan was hit in the face by a gust of thick smoke.

The office, which looked like a fairyland, was littered with cigarette butts.

Cameron looked like a yellow-haired monster, emerging from inside on a cloud of mist, with red eyes, really like a monster.

"Your Mightiness……!"

"Wait, stay away from me."

Seeing Cameron preparing to give him a hug, Allen quickly stopped him, pointed his index finger at Cameron's chest, and said with disgust.

At this time, Cameron had an untidy beard and even some eye boogers in the corners of his eyes. He looked as sloppy as he could be.

"Ahahaha, sorry sorry."

Cameron smiled awkwardly and returned to "Cloud". After waiting for a long time, he saw him holding wet wipes, wiping his face and hands while shouting at people to open the windows for ventilation.

"What's wrong with you? Didn't I send you a servant?"

Alan looked at the smoke coming out of the window, as if there was a fire, and felt a little strange. He knew that these technical geeks were lazy, so he had sent servants to clean and cook, just because he was afraid that they would make a mess here.

People are not afraid of dying, but Allen is afraid of prolonging the film production cycle.

"Uh... Your Excellency, this..."

Cameron rubbed his hands in embarrassment, groaned for a long time before saying: "The servants have to clean every day, which seriously affects our work. I will let them rest first. It's okay, we can bear it!"

Alan fanned his nose with his hands and saw that the visibility inside the room had finally improved. Then he looked at this small studio which he had visited for the first time.

It's just like a workstation in an ordinary office building.

However, the distance between each workstation is relatively large, and the tables are now piled with snacks, garbage bags, cigarette butts, and beverage bottles.

A huge, big-ass monitor, and one of those mice with a roller ball.

The monitor flickers so much that if you look at it from close up, your eyes will become blurry after a while.

Alan's family had bought a computer before, but the performance of computers these days was very poor.

Just like this operating system, Windows 2.0, Alan had never heard of it before. It was a piece of rubbish. You couldn't play any games on it. It was very rough in every way.

Alan felt tired just watching these people making the special effects.

If this pattern continues, these so-called first-generation programmers will probably be exhausted after just a few movies, right?

This one-time programmer is not good enough either.
