At this point, Luc Besson patted his head and said that the actor who played the daughter was just a secondary role. Allen needed to shoot a large-scale movie. Although the whole town would cooperate with Allen in the filming, some professional actors were still needed for some detailed interpretation shots. They didn't need to be particularly famous, and ordinary professional actors would do.
Ordinary people can only act in big scenes and be extras. If a camera is pointed at their faces, they won't be able to act at all.
Plus, the movie happened to need a few actors to play French people, and Luc Besson also wanted to insert a few of his own actors into the film as a favor, so he remembered Catherine Zeta-Jones whom he met when he returned to France last year. Unexpectedly, the other party also introduced one of her junior and bestie.
It was this name, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.
…
"I think her name is Kate Winslet... I can't remember."
“…”
Allen glared at Luc Besson and waved his hand to continue the screening.
Alan didn't know that Catherine Zeta-Jones is actually Welsh. He can pay more attention to her in the future, as she is half one of his own.
Remember this guy who seemed to be famous for playing Zorro?
Anyway, I can't remember clearly. Alan could remember very few British actors. They all looked like foreigners at the time, and he couldn't tell the difference between British and American actors.
Looking at the beautiful girl on the screen who was kicked down by the German army, she looked like this...
What did Luc Besson just say her name is Kate Wynn?
Hmm…
Isn't this Fat Rose?
After remembering it, Allen suddenly turned his head to look at Cameron. Seeing that this guy was looking at the sample film seriously, Allen suddenly had a strange feeling.
If I remember correctly, this young-looking blonde girl on the screen seems to be Kate Winslet!
That’s the Rose who was standing on the bow of the boat and being hugged by Leo!
She says she only loves Leo all her life, but then her ex-husbands are hypocritical one after another.
He is a very interesting person. I didn’t expect that he could be a member of his own crew even though he was an extra.
Alan used to think she was American, but wow...
"I can't remember her name, but you must remember where she is from, right?"
Thinking of this, Alan crossed his legs, leaned towards Luc Besson next to him, and asked in a low voice.
"I know that one. It's west of London, in Berkshire."
"Um……"
Alan nodded. This was interesting. What did he want to do? He wanted him to quickly arrange for Old Ka to take pictures of the big ship?
Hey... I just happened to have a super yacht that was almost finished, and now I even have all the props...
When the time comes, will you take Rose on your own super yacht and perform a classic bow scene?
Tsk tsk tsk…
"Oh, Rose!"
"Oh, Alan, be gentle..."
Just thinking about it makes me excited...
…
However, it is not easy to shoot a large ship. Not to mention the financial investment, even the special effects cannot be accomplished in a short time.
Allen squinted his eyes and put the idea of filming the big ship out of his mind. He stared at Kate Winslet who was lying on the ground crying on the screen. This girl was the type whose facial features looked very tough at first glance, and who looked uglier the thinner she got, and more attractive the fatter she got.
She is truly the ceiling of the slightly plump world. Other actresses’ looks decline when they gain weight, but she is the opposite. When she has a little flesh on her face, the baby fat looks better. She naturally looks noble and a little coquettish... ahem, charming...
…
This movie is a rare one for Allen, as he doesn't have a confirmed male or female lead, and is a group scene rather than a single individual as the protagonist. This movie relies on a big plot.
So, he didn't pick any heroines, and now... by coincidence, there is one he likes, this...
Thinking of this, Allen was suddenly stunned, turned his head and looked at Luc Besson next to him.
This old guy is really good. He has studied himself and knows what he likes. He personally selects it and sends it to him, then lets him choose?
A brunette Catherine Zeta-Jones, a blonde Kate Winslet, this...
Compared to Kate Winslet, Allen's impression of Catherine Zeta-Jones is just so-so, mainly because he feels that the girl does not quite fit his aesthetic standards.
Alan felt that this girl looked a bit like a copy of Rosamund Kwan, and not so detailed. Looking closely, her nose was too big and her skin was a bit rough. Perhaps her black hair and heroic face would be in line with the aesthetic in Europe, but Alan just didn't like her. It was only because of her Welsh identity that made Alan feel a little fond of her.
Hmmm…I’ll find a chance to hook up with Kate Winslet some other time.
…
After one night.
The sample I watched last night turned out pretty good, so this scene passed.
But there are still several big scenes to come, so Allen has to continue this life of shooting one day and resting one day.
This historical event is very interesting.
The fundraising committee at the time planned to make the play real and have the British soldiers playing the German army make it as realistic as possible.
But some of them cannot be photographed...
At that time, there were so many British soldiers, all of them were young men full of vigor and vitality. After being stationed abroad for a long time, it was inevitable that they could not help but be tempted. They were suddenly assigned tasks and given limited edition "German" skins, so that they could do bad things legally.
The consequence...
Historically, on the first day the British army occupied Winnipeg, they burned all the English and French books in everyone's homes. In short, all the books except German books were burned!
Then a concentration camp was set up, a new Winnipeg Provisional Management Committee was established, the German flag and the Nazi flag were raised, and all the procedures were done in an orderly manner.
Anyone in the city who disobeyed would be beaten and scolded, and some other things would happen. The whole exercise lasted for more than a week, and the residents of Winnipeg were so tired that they finally donated money obediently.
They truly immersed themselves in the feeling of being invaded by the German army. Except that not so many people died in the end, everything else seemed real!
And the chain reactions caused by this also seem very fucked up.
For example...
In America, which is next to Canada, some people heard that Winnipeg was occupied by the German army, and then heard rumors of the tragic situation in Winnipeg. Some of these Americans could not bear the pressure and did not even dare to run away, especially some Jews who fled to America.
They thought the Germans were chasing them. Some people were so desperate that they shot themselves in their homes out of fear...
The exercise effect is so real!
Very explosive.
…
Carmarthen, early July.
At the eastern end of the town, the residential area is sparsely populated and can be considered the "suburbs" of the town.
At this time, the houses here are arranged in Indian style.
The exterior appearance of the building cannot be changed, only some decorations with Indian cultural symbols are added on the door and the roof, which represents that it is an Indian gathering place.
Over the past half month, footage of the German army's treatment of Winnipeg citizens has been almost complete.
These two or three hundred Koreans who were drafted by Allen have also been doing logistics work for the crew. They are responsible for serving the more than one thousand delivery boys.
Now……
It’s finally the Koreans’ turn!
…
"Have you sent anyone to watch them?"
Alan stood far away with his hands behind his back, watching the crew members in front of him preparing. Today they still had to shoot the scene of the German army entering the village. It had been shot several times before, and the crew members were already familiar with the routine. It was much easier to do now than when they first started shooting.
At this time, Rex was standing next to Allen, watching the Koreans with him.
These people have been arrested for so long that they seem to have accepted their fate. They even have lost their passports. Now they are considered illegal immigrants. Even if they can run away, there is no place to accept them, not to mention that they can't run away.
After using it for such a period of time, Alan listened to Rex's report and found that the Koreans were not without advantages. At least after they calmed down, they had strong tolerance!
Just like when they work on a construction site, as long as they have three meals a day, they can work for ten hours. If they grit their teeth and push themselves, they can even work for twelve hours.
This is physical work, not mental work!
…
This brought new inspiration to Allen.
For example, after the electronics factory is built, can he ask that old guy Li Jianxi to help him lure some Koreans to come over as workers?
When they enter the country, their passports will be confiscated first, and then the charges will be listed for them. After they are given a certain sentence, they can be sent to work.
The electronics factory could set up a prison unit in cooperation with Carmarthen Police Station to specifically accept serving Korean prisoners for labor.
This way, wages can be saved, people are hardworking, and easy to manage, and they can be used until death...
In addition, the electronics factory is located in their own territory, so as long as Alan does not speak, even if Jesus comes, he cannot save them.
And now, taking advantage of this movie shooting, we can select those Koreans who are able to turn over a new leaf and have management talent. We will then process their naturalization and let them help manage the Koreans and serve as Li Zairong's deputy. Hmm... the plan is feasible!
…
"Master, don't worry. Not only have I sent people to observe, I have also planted more than one person among them!"
Rex stretched out his hand and pointed at Allen. This was to prevent some of these Koreans from being disobedient or trying to collude privately. He planted a few dogs there and they would report to Rex at any time.
"Well... pick a few people who have leadership skills and are obedient. I'll be able to use them in a while."
Alan didn't say what he was going to do specifically, but since he had been told to do it, Rex had to do it.
…
On July 11, Allen usually slept until he woke up naturally in the morning. He had just finished filming a big scene yesterday, and today he had another day off as usual. Allen's rest time has been a bit irregular recently, so he hopes to adjust his work and rest time every time he has a day off.
He didn't even have time to get to know Kate Winslet during this period.
I went to bed a little late tonight and it felt like I had just fallen asleep.
“Boom boom boom…”
In a daze, I heard someone knocking on the door. I slowly opened my eyes and subconsciously said, "Come in."
Hut walked to Alan's bed with a copy of the paper and a serious face.
I glanced at the clock on the wall and was like, wow…
Alan was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. It was past two in the morning!
It was so late, and if there was no sudden situation, Hut would not come to disturb him.
"What's wrong?!"
"Master...something happened, and I felt it necessary to inform you, please."
Hut said as he handed the copy paper to Alan.
…
Alan took the document that Hut had urgently printed out and looked at it, feeling a little heavy-hearted.
In the morning local time, the disaster situation was officially introduced to foreign journalists. Dozens of provinces have suffered incalculable economic losses due to the disaster. Now they call on international organizations to provide humanitarian rescue and assistance to the two worst-hit areas, Anhui Province and Jiangsu Province.
The time difference between Britain and there is about seven hours, so when they hold a press conference in the morning, it is still early in the morning in Britain.
This is the first time that they have issued a request for help to the whole world. Just imagine how big a deal this is!
This is just like an honest man who can't make ends meet and asks his colleague for a loan. If there was any other way, he wouldn't open his mouth. Now that he has opened his mouth, it proves that he is really in trouble.
…
"Was it reported on the TV news?"
Putting down the documents, Alan sat up, picked up the cup and took a sip of water. Seeing the servant preparing to come over to help him get up, Alan waved his hand, signaling the servant to go out first.
"The BBC has urgently interrupted the news."
It seems that the Yin-Yang Master BBC doesn’t dare to play tricks this time…
Alan nodded. He had heard from Xiao Shitou some time ago that there was a disaster over there, a flood that happened once in a hundred years. The current situation was not very clear. He did not expect that the situation would become so serious in such a short period of time that they had to appeal to the international community for assistance.
But……
Alan doesn't have any help now.
Faced with this situation, why was Hut so anxious to wake up Alan?
Allen has several factories there, and most of his business depends on them. As a foreign businessman, if he doesn't do anything when encountering such a thing...
That would seem too cold and callous, especially since Alan has always shown a fondness for that side.
…
Alan pinched his brows and thought about it, but he had no idea for a while. He had to help, no matter for the sake of the factory or his past.
But how to help?
Why……?
Thinking of the factory, Allen suddenly realized that if his factory was not affected much, then...
Wouldn’t it be possible for the goods produced in the factory to be put to good use?
Radio, this thing can’t be seen normally, but if in this situation, communication is blocked and telephone lines cannot be used, radio is the eternal god!
Don't worry about running out of power, the radio can still be used with batteries. At the very least, we should ensure that among dozens of people there is a radio device that can receive news from the outside world, right?
Plus instant noodles...
This thing is easy to transport and is very suitable for emergency food distribution during disaster relief.
One is for receiving information and the other is for eating, both can come in handy.
There is also the food factory at home, which is the one that produces ginger candy. This thing seems to be of no use at ordinary times, and it is very spicy after eating it, but if it is sent to the disaster area, it can not only warm the body but also prevent colds. Even if the effect is not so good, it can warm the body, right?
Eating one will make the spiciness go straight from your mouth to your stomach. You can even dissolve it in water and drink it as ginger soup.
Well, now that we have the supplies, can we just donate some money?
