"Well……"
"Hmm? Any trouble?"
"No, no, no...it's just that there are some errors in the format of your plan. I will rewrite a plan for you when I go back."
The financial specialist shook his head. It didn't matter whether they approved the plan or not. As long as it was a proposal from the Earl, it would have to be reported. Once it reached London, it was estimated that the plan would have a high probability of being approved.
"Alright! I've finished my work, you guys can continue arguing, I'm leaving now!"
This kind of informal meeting will be noisy all day long, like a vegetable market.
He was too lazy to waste time here meeting with them like they were playing house. The actors would be auditioning in the afternoon and he had to hurry back to watch the fun.
…
“Clatter…”
When Allen arrived, some people may not have reacted before he sat down in his seat, but now when they heard that he was leaving, the members of the conference in the surrounding rows quickly stood up, even the "Speaker" on the stage quickly stood up.
As the person with the highest title in this conference hall, he should show some respect before leaving.
"Sir, please take care!"
"Your Excellency, I am..."
"Your Mightiness……"
…
After nodding to the barons and viscounts around him, Alan didn't bother to pay attention to the other useless people.
Throughout Wales, it was like this before and it is still like this now. As long as there is no external pressure, he can do whatever he wants.
…
At the entrance of the hotel in Carmarthen town, before getting off the car, Alan hesitated for a moment, turned around and picked up a newspaper on the back seat, then got out of the car again, accompanied by Xiao Shitou. The two of them, wrapped in down jackets, walked very low-key into the audition venue booked by the crew.
Looking at the actors waiting for auditions in the corridor on the third floor, they were lined up in a messy formation.
Alan frowned, Xiao Shitou pushed ahead to make way, and Alan raised his collar to slightly cover his face. The two of them struggled to reach the door of the audition room.
When the employees outside the door saw Xiao Shitou's iconic figure, they knew who was coming and quickly opened the door to let them in.
…
As soon as I walked into the audition room, I found it was a small suite with a bathroom next to the door, a small living room inside, and a small bedroom on the innermost left.
Such a hotel room is considered a "luxury" suite in the small town of Carmarthen.
Siphis was directing several employees to sort out documents. When he saw Alan come in, he quickly trotted over.
"Master...why are you here so early?"
"I went to a meeting and came straight here. Why is there such a mess?"
Alan felt a little unhappy when he saw several employees in front of him busying around.
This bunch of stupid foreigners seem to be able to do things well at ordinary times, but they fail at the critical moment.
When he was in China before, he didn't care much about the crew's affairs, but which crew in China would be like this now?
It’s time for an audition, it’s a mess outside and it’s a mess inside too?
…
"This... these are all new employees, and everyone is not yet familiar with and coordinated with each other."
Siphis reluctantly gave an explanation, but it seemed pale.
"snort……"
Stuffing the newspaper in his hand to Siphis, Alan unzipped his down jacket and waved, "Give me the information! Look at what you've done! There's no plan. If you keep doing this, can those people outside finish the auditions today? How long will it take to select a few actors? Are you going to try for a week?"
Looking at the piles of documents on the table, he said, "Sort these documents into categories. How many copies are there in total?"
"Three copies...Everyone handed in three copies."
Siphis followed Alan very servilely and provided additional explanations.
"Three copies! Why don't you divide them quickly? Sequence and number each document and divide it into three copies. Let the person outside the door take one copy. Then let the group of people outside line up in order and keep quiet. What a mess! Kick out those who are not behaving themselves. No need to audition!"
Originally, he was planning to observe how the traditional British film and television industry auditions are conducted, but now, Alan no longer has the time to watch and has to do it himself. It has been almost a month since they started preparing, and the filming hasn't even started yet. Their efficiency is so poor, they are simply a bunch of useless people!
…
The big man sat in the main seat, and Siphis handed the sorted information to Allen, waiting for him to arrange the next step.
"What are you standing there for! Call someone, number one, come in!"
Picking up the first resume, before Alan could even take a closer look, the actor who was auditioning was called in.
Looking at the appearance of the person who came, Allen frowned and said, "Okay, you don't need to audition, get out!"
The black man who just walked into the room was stunned... He didn't quite understand what was going on. He looked at Alan and then at the other people.
…
"Look at his face! I want a black guy! The shiny black one! Not the chocolate type one! Look at this guy. Are there such white black people in Gambia? Huh?"
Alan pointed at the black man at the door and scolded Siphis.
Siphis shrank his neck, feeling a little aggrieved. Allen’s requirements for black actors were that they should be slightly handsome and well-proportioned. He looked for them according to these requirements. As for why he didn’t look for someone who was too dark…
It’s too dark to see the appearance clearly. If he can’t see the appearance clearly, how can he tell whether someone is handsome or not?
…
"If we film it like this, when those rich...customers arrive in Gambia and see that the goods are not what they said, what will we say? Is this commercial fraud?"
How about giving me a whole buyer's show and a seller's show?
"Pick out all the good ones here, eliminate a group first, and call the leading actress over first."
Giving Siphis and the others time to screen the actors, Allen decided to meet the female lead first.
…
Meryl was a little stunned when she saw Allen for the first time. Even though she was already middle-aged, but...
No one can stop a woman's love of beauty.
This love of beauty not only refers to beautiful accessories and clothes, but also people, or the opposite sex.
He didn't know Alan's identity yet. His first impression was that the young man in front of him was very handsome, but his expressionless face looked a little angry.
"Meryl?"
"It's me..."
"Um!"
Alan narrowed his eyes and looked up and down at the "professional player" invited from the United States.
Only he could choose to cast an Oscar-winning best actress to star in his film. If it were any other ordinary crew, they wouldn't even be able to invite her.
…
The facial lines of this Meryl are very soft, which is very different from the tough facial lines of traditional British women today.
woman……
As long as the facial lines are softened, the personality will appear calm and dignified.
As she had been specifically told, today's first audition would be to see her with light makeup, and so far, it seems that she fits Allen's expectations for the image of a slightly rustic housewife.
Looking down...
Her breasts are quite big, with cleavage. Although she is in her thirties, her figure has not changed. This requires good matching of clothes. When it comes to being sexy, it is easy to do.
"Sifis...let her do her makeup and styling."
"Okay, Master... Which plan?"
"Use the plan on the front page!"
Alan pointed to the newspaper he had just brought.
Siphis subconsciously picked up the newspaper, opened it to the front and his eyes were wide open!
“Fuck…”
