With this idea in mind, the first target that Canadian officials thought of was the Indians living in Canada!
We can't do anything to the British officials, but can we do nothing to you Indians?
Let's follow the plan of the British officials and go to another place and get a group of fake German soldiers to scare the areas where Indians gather. Then the pounds will come to us, right?
…
The feud was formed from the moment the Governor General of Canada rejected Allen.
According to Allen's idea, one black Britain is black, and if you Canada are included, two blacks are also black, and one of you is not much more.
Since you are shameless even if I give you a chance, then don't blame Master Allen for slandering you as well. Anyway, it's a rainy day and you can beat the kids if you have nothing else to do, so why not change the script and add a small side plot? This way, the whole story will be more three-dimensional and fuller.
…
Looking at the grand scene in the telescope, Alan nodded with satisfaction.
He has already figured out how this movie will work.
With his aristocratic status, he is naturally able to stand at the commanding heights of the class and point fingers at these British officials. The House of Lords is a place for the noble lords to vent their energy and point fingers.
In recent times, Alan has been going to the House of Lords less frequently, except for a few days when he first became a formal member of parliament, but later he was too lazy to go.
The main thing is that it is quite troublesome to go to London. You have to go there a day in advance and get up early the next day. And in a meeting, most of the time you spend arguing and you can't say anything.
This time, Allen is preparing to set an example himself, borrowing the future self-media model that he is familiar with and applying it in reverse to the present era.
…
Decades later, with the development of the Internet and various short video software, a large part of people's daily life is occupied by various short videos. Although each video is not too long, because various videos are mixed together, as long as you touch your mobile phone, you can scroll by and it feels like an hour has passed before you have watched anything.
With the rise of short video platforms, self-media has also moved downwards and anyone can get involved.
Just find some news, recordings, or even unrelated pictures, add some made-up text, and create some eye-catching titles, and a news short video is born.
When Allen was in the online drama circle, he looked down on those wild and uncultured self-media people.
At most, I can just shoot some marginal web dramas, but at least the audience will feel that it is worth it.
As for those who run their own media, some of them have absolutely no moral bottom line. For the sake of traffic, they don't care whether the news is true or false, and they even make up stories and dare to post them on short video platforms relying on the traffic.
They don't care about the consequences at all. All kinds of chaos occur frequently, such as those that lead the trend and spread rumors. Because of the rise of self-media, the costs of these things have become lower.
This is what Allen is doing now. He just finds some information, processes it half-truthfully, and makes a movie out of it. This is called restoring history!
I don’t care whether you admit it or not, I say this is history, this is history!
…
He made this movie on a whim, wanting to satirize the British government and use history to criticize the present. After all, it happened during World War II nearly fifty years ago, so it can still be considered "ancient".
Finally, he made an allusion to America, raised the anti-war banner, and used the current popularity of America to enhance Allen's own reputation.
The script and the crew are all ready, all they need is a sucker to pay the bill. Who knew that the damn Governor General of Canada wouldn't be happy about it? Since he's not happy about it, he might as well blackmail them too!
As a nobleman, there is nothing wrong with Alan criticizing the British government!
…
Once a movie like this is made, as long as it is released in the UK, ordinary people will feel very happy after watching it...
You politicians are doing nothing, so what's wrong with being scolded by Earl Allen? This is really a scolding to their heart.
In the current economic environment, the people will support anything that is against the British government.
Anyway, it's about the past, not the present.
Even if the nobles knew about this kind of thing, they would not care too much. They could point fingers at the officials anywhere. The only difference was that some noble lords would make noises in the House of Lords, while Allen would make noises in movies instead.
This movie is also very suitable when it is exported abroad.
When people from other countries see this topic, they think it’s great!
This is politically correct everywhere, and it can even be applied to America and the whole of Europe.
They wish Allen would keep filming like this.
In the eyes of foreigners, this is just exposing Britain's scars.
The final result is that everyone is happy, and we have to praise Allen by the way. He is worthy of being the face of the British aristocracy, a noble hero of the new era of imperialism, who cares about current affairs, has a sense of social responsibility, and dares to think and act.
As for the only two victims, the British government and Canada, who cares about them...
Now that you're a politician, isn't it normal to be scolded?
…
Putting down the telescope, Alan tilted his head and motioned for Xiao Shitou to come closer.
"Master?"
"This morning I saw a plane hovering over our heads. I didn't think anything of it at the time, but you just heard that these people went to complain to His Highness again!"
Alan looked at them coldly, thinking that disaster might come from the sky while he was still at home. Although everything was explained clearly in the end and Boss Cha didn't say anything, he still felt unhappy!
"Go to the civil aviation department and check the flight routes to see who they are. I don't need to teach you what to do with the rest, do I?"
Revenge never takes overnight. Allen has become more and more impatient in recent years. These quick-talking people always go to complain. Do they really think that Master Allen can't lift a knife?
Even though they were far away and we couldn't see clearly where they were from, but for those flying in the sky, if we just went to the civil aviation department to check the flight routes and follow the clues, we would know they can't escape!
"Okay, I understand. I'll be there in a minute?"
"A while? Go now!"
Seeing that Xiao Shitou wanted to wait a while before going, Allen glared at him. What are you waiting for? He wanted to find out which bitch reported him right now, and then...
…
The entire crew filmed bustlingly for a day, then settled down on the spot to comfort the residents who were "accidentally injured" during the day, and then took out Allen's secret weapon - red envelopes.
Not much, fifty pounds each.
But this is enough to cover the losses caused by someone suddenly breaking into the house. What's more, according to the staff, all damaged doors, furniture, and other items will be compensated later!
If you perform well, you will receive a red envelope in a few days!
In a place like this where no one can get any help from heaven or earth, it's already pretty good to get some compensation. Besides, this is a movie, haven't I explained it? This is not called being beaten, this is called sacrificing oneself for art!
With this statement, the people in Carmarthen had no choice but to succumb to Alan's threat. Fortunately, they could take a day off the next day and continue filming the day after tomorrow.
…
It's not that Allen didn't work hard, but that's the tone of movies nowadays. If it's a small scene, it's easy to say. Even if he doesn't look at the camera, he can probably get a rough idea of how the actors are performing by just watching the actors' performances on the set.
But this was his first time shooting such a large scene, with so many cameras and so many people, so he had to give the department in charge of film and television post-production a little time to ask them to make a rough cut and show it to him. If it was not good, it would have to be redone.
…
The shooting that day lasted until after three in the afternoon, and it was not until after dinner the next night that Allen met Cameron, who looked tired, and the fat man Luc Besson in the screening room of the manor.
These two generals under Allen were recently drafted by Allen. Cameron is responsible for the medium and long shots of large scenes, while Luc Besson is better at depicting detailed shots.
With the help of these two people, Allen only had to be responsible for the overall personnel arrangement and overall mobilization, which saved a lot of trouble during the filming.
…
"Boss, this is a rough cut. Please take a look. It's quite long."
Luc Besson is a bit dull and a little conceited, and he always looks down on Cameron next to him.
But... man proposes, God disposes. It has been a while since Cameron joined Allen's team. Last year, Cameron made a lot of money for Allen with "Terminator 2" and made him proud, but he has not achieved anything during this period.
Luc Besson didn't take this little setback seriously. Movies are all based on momentary inspiration and cannot be mass-produced. He already has some inspiration at the moment. Since Cameron is good at special effects, he is also prepared to use Cameron's strengths to show this little Canadian golden retriever some color.
Luc Besson is preparing to make a special effects movie himself!
"Well, let's go to the screening."
Alan moved his butt, leaned towards the sofa, and sat in a very comfortable position, ready to see how the filming of these two guys' collaboration would go.
…
The dark night...
With the arrival of dawn, a group of German soldiers walked out of the darkness, wearing the iconic gray German uniforms and the highly recognizable M1942 helmets.
The M1942 is an improved version of the M1935 helmet.
During the European War, the British Army's steel helmets looked like a big pot on the head, which was extremely ugly and was nicknamed the Flying Saucer Helmet.
The German army's helmet was very different in style from the British army's, and it influenced many countries both before and after the war. For example, a certain German-equipped division was equipped with the German M1935 steel helmet.
With the grey German uniforms and iconic steel helmets, one can tell that this group of people are German soldiers even from a distance with just a glance.
But the camera gave a close-up. Although they were wearing German equipment, they were holding British standard rifles in their hands. While walking, these "German soldiers" were laughing and giggling. It didn't look like they were going to war, but rather going home.
A few Type 3 tanks led the way in front, and I took a picture of the signposts on the roadside as I passed by. Not far ahead was "Winnipeg, Canada"!
…
After the Type 3 tank fired a few symbolic shots, breaking the silence of the small town, a group of German troops began to attack.
The city of Winnipeg, located in the interior of Canada, had no reaction at all and had no defense at all.
Listening to the noisy shouts and screams from the speakers, Alan frowned and looked at the camera that had been set up in advance following the perspective of a team of "German troops". The leading German soldier kicked open the door of a civilian house, and the residents inside were stunned by the German soldiers who suddenly broke into their homes!
They were really shocked. It didn't look like an act. The residents showed no signs of acting at all. The hostess didn't even have her clothes on. She just kept screaming.
When the man of the house saw these German soldiers, in the face of Allen's expectant gaze, he did not resist or beg for mercy, but instead did something that Allen never expected.
The traditional etiquette in France is to salute with both hands raised high.
He surrendered subconsciously!
You can tell at a glance that he is French, even though the male host didn’t say a single line!
…
"Fuck? Who planned this plot?"
Alan turned his head and subconsciously looked at Cameron. Luc Besson is French, so it is most likely not him. Then among these two assistant directors, besides Luc Besson, Cameron is the most likely suspect.
"Master, it's not me!" Cameron waved his hand as soon as Allen looked at him, then pointed at Luc Besson next to him and said, "He added the scenes without my permission. It has nothing to do with me. He also recruited these actors."
“…”
Alan's eyes widened. It was one thing to play the game like that, but he had never done that in front of Luc Besson. He never expected that this old guy would be so cruel. Was he making fun of himself?
Luc Besson puffed up his chubby cheeks and said nonchalantly, "They all hid in Canada. Being a little cowardly is more in line with the situation at the time."
“…”
Very good, as a French person, I look down on the French people hiding in Canada, this is very French!
Allen was speechless after hearing Luc Besson's reasons and turned around to continue watching the movie.
As the man surrendered, the woman became furious and backed away, holding her frightened daughter who was hiding in her arms.
The camera gave a close-up, and Alan looked at the hostess, and the more he looked, the more familiar she looked.
“Eh…”
It seemed like he had seen this woman somewhere before. Before Alan could continue to recall, several German soldiers grabbed the mother and daughter and escorted them out of the house.
It was not until then that the daughter hiding in the hostess's arms showed her face.
Looking at the face of this blonde girl, Alan raised his eyebrows. Wow...
Luc Besson doesn't have to take responsibility, so he lets himself go?
The man is French, so he has dark hair, and the woman also has dark hair, but their daughter is blonde...
The children are not their own, this is very French!
As for the person who plays the daughter, Allen is very sure that she is not from Carmarthen. Didn't Cameron just say that this family of actors is related to Luc Besson? It is likely that she is a large extra found from somewhere.
It is these two actresses that Allen looks more and more familiar with.
"Wait, where are these two people playing mother and daughter from?"
Allen stopped the screening and turned to look at Luc Besson.
…
Seeing that Allen finally asked about this, Luc Besson gave Cameron a very hidden sneer before he turned sideways and whispered beside Allen, "Boss, this black-haired girl is Catherine Zeta-Jones, and she's Welsh. When she was filming in France last year, the director was my friend, and I happened to be visiting my friend at the time, so I knew her."
"As for the one next to her... she's her junior schoolmate. They performed in a stage play together. She just graduated this year. Her name is..."
