Britain has many historical events and a lot of dark history, and many of these events have been adapted into film and television works.

But the most famous topics either do not fit the current hot topics or are completely irrelevant.

For example, "Sherlock Holmes Series", "Downton Abbey", "Zorro Series", and ancient themes such as "007 Series" or "Brave Heart".

Take "Brave Heart" for example, it is a story about the Scots' heroic and unyielding struggle against the English, and it was filmed by... an American who loves to sow discord.

As an English aristocrat, Allen would never make a movie of this kind unless he is crazy or out of his mind. He is not Taro Lukawa, so there is no need for him to use this kind of routine, and it is not appropriate.

The remaining topics more or less did not suit his taste.

…

What satisfied Alan was a small piece of news recorded in a family diary that he had accidentally read before, which could be considered an interesting anecdote.

The content is quite interesting and was reported in newspapers at the time, but it was not widely circulated. In addition, the way information is disseminated is very backward. From the time this incident happened until now, not many people have known about this news.

But the news itself is very valuable.

More than 40 years ago, when World War II was raging and Canada had not yet gained independence, Britain could no longer hold on and frantically drew supplies, troops, equipment and money from its colonies!

Everything else is easy to say, but things like money are hard to say.

In those days, everyone was poor, and the economic situation was even worse after several years of war.

As Canada is a cold and harsh country, the economic situation is even worse.

But the suzerain state has spoken, and not a penny of the money must be raised less.

To this end, Canada set up a special war fundraising committee.

In order to successfully raise donations, this committee tried every possible means and used all possible tricks.

But the effect is very bad.

Most Canadians are stingy - they don't want to spend a penny.

At that time, the task was assigned by state, and each state and city had certain targets for how much donations they needed to collect.

Looking back now, the target for each state back then was probably around 40 to 50 million US dollars.

But this amount, at that time, was enough to make Canadians worried to death, and they still couldn't raise the money.

The reasons behind this are very complicated.

…

First, Canada is relatively far away from the battlefield, and is a bit self-contained and reluctant to spend money.

The second reason is that the people who organized these fund-raising activities were not aristocrats, but ordinary civil servants. They were good at making money, but they were not good at exploiting civilians.

At least compared with the noble lords who have been engaged in the exploitation business for hundreds of years, their methods are still very crude.

But the task has been assigned by the higher-ups, and we have to raise the money!

In the end, a scandal arose that almost became a big deal.

The Canadian War Fundraising Committee had a sudden idea and bought a batch of props from Hollywood. They organized local troops and pretended to be a German invasion of Canada.

It's not just an invasion, but also a series of dramas such as ruling and managing the city after the invasion.

All Canadians at that time were terrified. After this incident, some Canadians who had originally been unwilling to donate began to donate generously. In the end, the Canadian War Fundraising Committee gloriously exceeded its fundraising target.

…

Alan was deeply impressed by this news. First of all, it was a very interesting thing. The same people used all means to play the role of the enemy and scare their own people.

Secondly, this was one of the earliest recorded actions by the British government to consciously suppress the aristocracy.

At that time, the nobles on the front line suffered heavy casualties, and the power of the nobles in the country was extremely weak. Even during the war, the British government could not help but give the nobles some eye drops.

As far as Canada's fundraising is concerned, if it had been done by aristocrats, it wouldn't have been so troublesome, but the British government set the aristocrats aside and did it themselves.

Although it was accomplished in the end, the "tactical" guidance of the noble lords was more or less applied.

With the guidance of "professionals", the British officials finally raised the money.

In the end, this incident was recorded in the family diary.

Allen plans to make an original movie based on this incident.

First of all, this thing is novel enough, and secondly...

It's also for the sake of war, and it can take advantage of the popularity of the Gulf War.

at last……

The nobles basically have nothing to do with this matter, so there is no need to worry about the reputation of the aristocratic group being implicated. He does not have the ability to criticize the nobles now, as he himself is already a member of this group.

Instead, some people in the British government played the role of villains here, and we can take this opportunity to point fingers at them.

This is what Allen values ​​most.

He wanted to make an anti-war film, not to accuse anyone openly, but to make sarcastic innuendos secretly.

As for who it is referring to, I hope they won't take it personally when the time comes.

If this incident were to be filmed, people who didn't know the truth would think that Master Allen was indeed a responsible noble lord who was so ruthless that he would even criticize his own people.

Those who understand the inside story will know who to criticize. This is called "using the past to criticize the present"!

Using events that happened decades ago to satirize the current Gulf War.

If people want to become famous, they have to go through some abnormal channels. It will take too long to become famous just by making movies or doing business.

Allen is no longer satisfied with his current reputation and urgently needs to strengthen it.

And wanting to enhance one's reputation is just like the actors in the past who tried to extort money from people for money. Allen is very familiar with this.

I am an ordinary N-line unknown person in the entertainment industry. I want to develop myself slowly. When can I become a first-line star in this life?

Only by touching upon celebrities or hot events can changes be brought about and one can rise to the top with the help of these external forces.

The current Gulf War is the most watched event so far, and it is a top-tier star that can be "touched".

Thinking of this, Alan rang the bell, and after the servant on duty knocked on the door and came in, he said, "Go and see if Ceylon is here, and call her over."

"yes!"

…

Ceylon was wearing a burgundy business suit and high heels. Her footsteps stopped at the door of the study, and then she knocked on the door of Alan's study.

After hearing Alan's voice from inside asking her to come in.

Ceylon just pushed open the door of the study, and the first thing he saw was the boss holding a piece of fish to tease a bird. The snowy owl he raised was dazed, staring at the fish in Alan's hand, and its furry head moved along with the movements of Alan's hand.

In order to get a piece of meat, Alan struggled and teased it for a long time before finally stuffing the fish into its mouth.

This snowy owl is also interesting. When it eats, I don’t know if it is like this naturally or if it has been trained, but after it finishes eating, it will squint its eyes and open its mouth slightly, as if it is smiling. It is obviously very happy and very funny.

…

"Haha, sit down! I'm teasing it. I usually don't pay much attention to it. It's too lazy and doesn't like to move. If this continues, it won't even be able to fly in the future."

Alan explained with a smile, then picked up the meat from the plate next to him and threw it out for Xiao Huang to pick up.

After Little Yellow flew over Ceylon's head with its wings fluttering, Alan told Ceylon about his thoughts just now.

…

"About Canada? Boss... Was it news from 1942?"

As an old journalist, Ceylan has a very high level of professionalism. She not only reports the news, but also reads a lot of old news to increase her knowledge.

Now that Alan mentioned it, Ceylon thought about it for a long time and had some impression of this matter in his mind.

But this kind of relatively obscure old news is very niche, and people nowadays basically don’t care about it.

Looking at his boss again, combined with the hottest events in the outside world at the moment, Ceylon felt that he had guessed what his boss was thinking.

Since it is an anti-war movie, there must be something to it.

Anti-war films must express the thoughts of the filmmakers.

The first way to oppose war is to stand on the moral high ground and condemn the perpetrators of violence through war.

This is the most crucial thing, we must occupy the moral high ground.

The rest depends on how the director puts things in. Thinking of this, Ceylon suddenly had a bright idea and suggested, "Boss, if you are going to make an anti-war film, why not submit it for an award and further expand your influence?"

…

Looking at the direction Ceylon pointed, Alan slowly turned his head, looked in that direction, raised his eyebrows, isn't that where Dezi lives?

Why?

By the way... now that Germany and Zi have merged, their Berlin Film Festival prefers anti-war films the most. Any film with such themes, especially those reflecting the German invasion and brutality, can increase the chances of winning several times.

No matter whether they are double-faced or not, the routine is just that.

Although Allen is making a movie about British soldiers pretending to be Germans to scare Canadians, the pretending Germans are still Germans, right?

It seems like it might be possible for this to win an award at the Berlin Film Festival.

"Um……"

Allen touched his chin and nodded. "You will take care of these after the filming is completed. The focus now is on the early preparations. As one of the producers, you should prepare for me first. Cameron's big crew has nothing to do now, so you will be responsible for organizing it. In addition..."

Alan rubbed his Jingming acupoint again and said, "There are news reports about this at home, but they are just fragments and not detailed enough. You still need to contact the screenwriter, collect the information, and write a script. It must be true, and by the way..."

Alan narrowed his eyes and said softly, "Don't glorify the official or even brag about it. Write it realistically, or be a little biased and explain the background clearly. Do you understand?"

"I see!"

Ceylon looked at Allen's eyes and straightened her back instantly. She understood what he meant.

…

London Heathrow International Airport, mid-March 1991.

Andrew Morton was walking and adjusting his clothes, looking very proud and high-spirited.

He feels that he is now a successful person, a great writer, a famous journalist, and has a lot of explosive information in his hands!

A few days ago, he contacted Diana again and arranged the time for this interview.

Morton repeatedly touched Diana's bottom line. In previous interviews, he even used all kinds of lies to trick Diana into revealing a lot of private information.

Now he has one big thing left to do. Since he has taken the money from that department in America, he has to do the job well. As long as he gets Diana's consent, he can organize and publish all the materials of his interview with Diana in the past year!

After publishing this material, the fame and financial gains he gained would be enough to cover all his expenses for the rest of his life.

He always carried these materials with him in his suitcase.

Andrew Morton was somewhat self-aware. If he dared to leak such confidential information without Diana's formal consent, not only would the credibility of the information be compromised, but even his personal safety would not be guaranteed.

…

As for Diana, in Andrew Morton's opinion, she often lacked rationality. To put it bluntly, she was a little stupid and naive, and did things without considering the consequences.

As long as she agrees, the information in his hands can be published openly. After the outside world is shocked by these secret news, all the accusations will not be directed at Morton, but at the most famous Diana!

He just wants to make money, become famous, complete the task at the same time, and find a scapegoat in the end.

Thinking that his goal would soon be achieved, Morton smiled and just walked into the parking lot, he saw the person he had made an appointment with was already waiting for him there.

A tall bodyguard holding a card with his name on it.

Morton smiled and approached the vehicle.

"I'm Andrew Morton. Did the princess ask you to pick me up?"

Morton made a self-righteous gentleman's gesture, and when in Rome, do as the Romans do...

…

Hughes, who was in disguise and doing the work himself, took off his sunglasses, looked at the reporter in front of him, and then looked at the photo on the back of the card...

The person has been identified, and it’s him!

"Haha, Mr. Morton, welcome... I'm the bodyguard of Her Royal Highness the Princess, and I'm here to pick you up. Please get in the car."

Hughes took the suitcase from Morton, then opened the back door himself, bent down, and with his right hand, respectfully invited Andrew Morton to get in the car.

Morton smiled and nodded. Britain was great, with clear classes. As long as you could get close to the powerful, your status would be higher. He really wanted to continue living this kind of life. However, if compared with a large amount of US dollars, Morton would rather choose the latter - as long as you have a lot of US dollars, you can live a good life anywhere.

…

As soon as he got in the car, in front of Morton's surprised eyes, Hughes, who had just respectfully invited him to get in the car, turned around and got in from the left side, pulled out a gun from his waist, and put it directly to his waist. The smile on his face was still so respectful, but the words that came out of his mouth made Morton feel a little creepy.

"Drive...directly to Carmarthen Town. Be quiet and don't shout. Do you understand?"

Morton swallowed, having a gun... not surprising.

But Jae Dae-young had a gun, a pistol at that, and he dared to use it to threaten him directly in the airport parking lot. This is no ordinary bodyguard!
