Chapter 381: Funeral (Part 1)



This has to be broadcast on an adult channel, right?

The last wilderness survival show the boss filmed was still on the edge, but this time he didn't even bother to pretend. He just went up without wearing anything and was directly honest.

"Boss... this program... wants to be broadcast on TV, it seems..."

Ceylon seemed to be hesitant to talk, not because she was shy or anything. At her age, she had seen all kinds of things, long and short. She was not shy, but simply felt that the scale was a little too big.

Even though the atmosphere here is relatively open, the scale of this show is still too big.

"snort……"

Allen snorted coldly, and said with a little dissatisfaction: "What have you been learning during this period? Haven't you always wanted to become a TV producer? When you look at a project, you only look at the scale and nothing else?"

The reason why Ceylan quit the BBC was that she was tired of being a host and didn't want to do it anymore and wanted to transform into a producer.

Of course, there is a certain financial relationship involved. Although the producer is not the person who benefits the most from a TV series, his income is still higher than that of being a host for a lifetime.

Ceylon also participated in many of Allen's films and documentaries last year as a producer. She has been learning about this area, but...

Allen now realized that some of her ideas could not be changed in a short time.

"Look... this show, the first thing you think after watching it is that it is too explicit and the TV station won't broadcast it, but what if you look at it from the audience's perspective? If the TV station really broadcasts such an explicit show, would you want to watch it?"

Don't think that old perverts are only found among men. Allen knows too well the current situation in Britain.

There are also many old and perverted women, and the huge number of tourists that come to Gambia every year is proof of that.

This market is huge!

Everyone has a curiosity mentality.

Plus it’s a TV show!

Televisions are usually placed at home.

You can watch it by yourself in a private space. Imagine the scene: after a busy day at work for a little bit of money, when you get home from get off work, you pour yourself a beer and turn on the TV. At this moment, if there is a small program that is a little explicit but not too pornographic, would you like to watch it?

Did you feel a little bit agitated after reading this?

What are you waiting for?

Put on your clothes and go out shopping.

This can also boost the tertiary industry economy of the entire Britain!

This kind of controversial program is the most likely to attract ratings. I believe that given the nature of the BBC, if they are asked to choose between ratings, advertising fees and scale, they will definitely choose the former.

No matter how big the scale is, it is not a problem in the face of ratings and huge advertising fees!

and……

Alan is planning to go a step further, isn't that too much?

Can you make two versions during post-production?

AB version of film and television works is his specialty.

Version A will be broadcast on TV, with some mosaics added to cover up the key parts.

Is the scale still big with mosaic?

The people of Britain generally have some reserved and sultry personality traits. Once the A version is mosaiced, it fits their character of being both cautious and self-righteous.

By then...

Version B can also sell uncensored videotapes!

Let the audience watch the coded version A on TV first. When they can’t wait to watch it, okay... you can give your small money to me, Master Allen, for safekeeping, and I will sell version B to you.

This way, Alan can make double the money from selling one item!

"This..." Ceylon opened his mouth. Although this way of operation was somewhat beyond his imagination, as if the BBC was used as a place for advertising, he had to admit that this way of operation could indeed maximize profits. Moreover, using the boss's intentions as an excuse, the program itself could appear less vulgar and instead have a more high-end feel.

"That……"

"You go talk to the BBC about the revenue sharing. We can give in a little on advertising revenue, but the rest will remain the same as before. As for the selection of the person..."

Alan stroked his chin.

"You can contact Yi Xifei later. He is currently organizing a national cycling environmental protection event. The people involved should be very open-minded. The participants can choose from among those who have registered."

It's not true that there are so many people who dare to strip naked for money and go on a show. Normal people are still relatively conservative. But if there are such bold people who choose from these people, plus the bonus, then...

You will get twice the result with half the effort!

At the end of May 1992, early in the morning, two Sikorsky S76 business helicopters produced by the American Sikorsky Corporation were parked on the lawn outside the Hill family estate. The propellers created gusts of wind, blowing grass clippings and dust on the lawn everywhere.

Alan held Harry in his arms, lowered his head and walked quickly towards one of the blue No. 1 planes.

Today is the day of old Earl Spencer's funeral.

But since Carmarthen is more than 300 kilometers away from Northampton where the Spencer family lives, it would be a bit difficult to go there by car. The journey would take nearly four hours. If the funeral starts at nine in the morning, Alan would have to leave at four in the morning. Plus, it would be too tiring to travel for such a long time.

And if he went a day earlier, it wouldn't be a good idea either, mainly because Alan didn't want to go there early and get involved in Spencer's family affairs.

so……

In the end, Boss Cha had to take action. After Alan submitted a report, Boss Cha sent two official helicopters belonging to the Royal Air Force to pick up Alan early in the morning.

Old Earl Spencer is William and Harry's maternal grandfather, so the two little guys have to go to his funeral as well.

Within the United Kingdom, you have to be a little more careful about the travel of members of the royal family.

If it's within Wales, it's fine, but as long as you leave Wales, especially if you have to take a helicopter, you have to strictly abide by the royal rules. The two princes cannot travel in the same helicopter.

so……

Alan could only take the younger Harry on one plane, while Little Stone accompanied William on the other.

The Sikorsky S76 is sixteen meters long and looks very large, larger than ordinary buses on the road. The theoretical maximum passenger capacity is 13, and there are two crew members in the front.

Both helicopters have a royal attendant responsible for the safety of the passengers.

Alan took Harry with him, and traveling with them were Alan's little tour guide Yasin Rania and four servants. The number of people attending the funeral of old Earl Spencer this time was a total of about a dozen people, which was considered very minimal.

After Harry sat down in his seat, Alan helped him put on his noise-proofing earmuffs and fastened his seat belt. Then he stretched out his arms and asked the servant to help him check his seat belt.

Buzz buzz buzz...

Although I was wearing soundproof earmuffs, I could still feel the huge noise when the helicopter took off through the earmuffs. However... with the protection of the earmuffs, such noise was still within the tolerable range for normal people.

As the helicopter tilted forward slightly, the castle under his feet became smaller and smaller and moved further and further back. Alan smacked his lips. He had never been particularly fond of helicopters, airplanes and the like. The main reason was that he did not feel safe when riding on these means of transportation. It was not as secure as taking transportation by land or sea.

But today, overlooking the area around his home from such a low distance, Alan felt strange in his heart, with a sense of accomplishment that this was all his territory.

The entire town of Carmarthen has a total permanent population of just over 30,000. Since the establishment of the county seat of a single administrative area, the population here has not increased much. The entire Carmarthen County has a total population of only over 100,000 people, scattered across three towns, and is not conspicuous at all.

Looking at the large tracts of undeveloped land and woods at his feet, as well as the ancient castle ruins that occasionally appeared on the top of the mountain, Alan smiled. He didn't want to sell or develop these lands, at least not now. He felt that this living environment full of natural atmosphere was pretty good. Every time he came back from London, Alan felt more and more strongly.

He didn't like living in a crowded big city. It was too noisy and the air quality was poor. How could London, that shabby place, be as good as his own Carmarthen?

Northampton is the capital of Northamptonshire, a small town with a population of over 100,000 and a very developed economy. If we compare the economy alone, the city of Northampton is enough to defeat the entire Carmarthenshire.

The Spencer family has had their ancestral home just north of Northampton for nearly five hundred years.

The famous Althorp Manor is here.

Before old Earl Spencer inherited the earldom, his title was Viscount Althorp, so his house was called Althorp Manor, but outsiders sometimes call it Spencer Manor.

Just like Alan's home, there is no specific name. It can be called Hill Manor or Carmarthen Manor. It's all fine. It's not one of those famous palace manors with a fixed name. There are not so many particulars.

Althorp Manor covers an area of... about one thousand acres. If this size is converted into square meters, it is about the size of four or five Forbidden City Palaces, which is about two kilometers in length and width.

Not far from the manor is the small town of Great Brinton...or it can be called a small village.

There are only more than 200 households in the entire town of Big Brinton. The ancestors of these people are more or less related to the Spencer family. Some of them retired later or were injured and unable to work, so they gathered in the town of Big Brinton to live.

According to Western custom, people are usually buried in churches after death. Today's funeral was held in Great Brinton Church, which is the ancestral tomb of the Spencer family.

A few hundred meters away from the church is the area designated as a helipad.

Since early in the morning, there have been a constant stream of helicopters coming and going, most of whom are guests from London.

And Alan... after more than an hour's journey, he finally arrived at the meeting point next to the Great Brinton Church by helicopter at around 8:30 in the morning.

Two helicopters landed slowly. A servant of the Spencer family who had been on duty here saw the number on the helicopter. His face changed drastically and he ran to inform Spencer who was receiving guests over there.

"Master! Master Allen is here."

When the servant was still a few steps away from Spencer, he slowed down his pace, adjusted his breathing, suppressed his nervousness, then leaned close to Spencer's ear and whispered something.

Although the servant's tone was very light and restrained.

But Spencer's face changed drastically when he heard this, and he subconsciously showed a little panic on his face.

Spencer today was wearing a black suit and his overall style was very solemn, but the blood scabs on his face seemed to indicate that the earl had been injured not long ago.

The skin on his face twitched slightly, causing the blood scab to form. Spencer took a breath of cold air in pain. He was really scared facing Allen now. A few days ago, he had sent servants to report the death, and he didn't even have the courage to call Allen in person.

now……

It has been a while since the last conflict between the two, but Spencer still subconsciously gets nervous when he hears Allen's name. Even though this is his hometown and everyone around here is his family's old friends, he is still nervous and a little scared.

"Where...is he?" Spencer asked subconsciously with a trembling voice, feeling a little dizzy.

"Master...Master Allen hasn't gotten off the plane yet. There are two young princes coming this time. You should go and greet them."

The servant lowered his head and didn't look at Spencer, but he still gave a reminder dutifully.

"Yes... greet, greet... uh... where is my sister? Her son is here, can he greet him?"

Spencer greeted the guests who had just spoken to him, muttered something, and followed the servants for a few steps subconsciously. Suddenly he realized that he could hide and let Diana go to greet them!

“…”

When the servant heard Spencer's words, she pursed her lips subconsciously. How could a woman be allowed to greet guests?

"Master... this is against the rules. Let's go over there quickly. Don't wait for Master Allen and the two little princes to come over while we are still standing here."

"Um……"

Spencer took a deep breath and was about to jog a few steps when suddenly, a voice with a little apology and question came from behind: "Sir Spencer, I'm sorry to bother you. I just heard a familiar name. Is it... Sir Allen Hill?"

"???"

Spencer subconsciously turned his head and looked behind him. The person who asked him the question had very distinctive features. He was an Arab with black curly hair. Behind him was a gentle-looking brown-haired woman.

This person is currently a prince, the son of the King of Jordan, and the one behind him is his sister.

He was not originally going to attend the funeral, but he flew to London a few days ago to see his sister. After hearing about what happened in the Spencer family, he went to Boss Cha to apply for permission, and then he brought his sister to attend the funeral of the old earl of the Spencer family as a representative of the foreign royal family.

The purpose of his coming was very simple. As the son of a king in a war-torn country, the Prince of Jordan was born with a strong sense of crisis. The old king was very versatile and had been maneuvering between various forces for a long time. Only by being good at dancing with the sleeves could he preserve his current family business.

This prince came to study in Britain when he was young and then joined the army. Even his sister studied in Britain. The funeral of such a heavyweight aristocrat is an important occasion to make friends with powerful people from all sides. It would have been fine if he didn't know about it, but now that he knew, how could he miss it?
