British 1986

Allen's second film fully draws on the experience of the first film.

After his first movie was released a few months ago, many viewers complained that his movie had made a significant contribution to the divorce rate in some areas of the UK and was suspected of encouraging women to cheat.

Later, Charles also vaguely mentioned that he should not mess around or cause trouble.

Allen is still very obedient in this regard, isn't it just a change of background?

The United States is very good. Once the background is changed, the scale can be even larger!

Some things that couldn't be expressed in the previous movie were also arranged!

So after much deliberation and summing up the experience of the previous film, this new film is based on the American film "Deep Water".

The whole movie highlights a three-dimensional explosion. The movie seems to be filled with a lot of exciting scenes, but in fact, there are a lot of private goods hidden in these exciting scenes!

for example

The cost of living in the United States is high, immigration is too complicated, and interpersonal relationships between neighbors are difficult to get along with.

As the cost of living increases, men have to do more work to support the family, while women have to take care of the children. In addition, men have less time to go home, which means there is a lot of lonely time.

Then

American Ximen Qing can make a shining debut.

In addition, the heroine of this movie is a slut, which adds another level to the overall excitement of the movie.

If a woman takes the initiative to seduce, the adulterer will definitely seduce her every time.

if

Americans, watch this movie.

Do married men feel anxious?

Will unmarried young people not want to get married after watching this kind of movie?

Since Allen only remembered the general plot, he wrote an overall framework of a few hundred words, and the rest was all supplemented and improved by his screenwriters.

The overall story is like that. When a man is being fucked by his wife, he has feelings for her, and his thoughts are a little morbid.

But this morbid condition does not last long. After a man gets entangled, he will ruthlessly kill his wife's adulterer.

But his wife was unwilling to be lonely. When the adulterer was gone, she would find another one, and the cycle started over and over again. Both husband and wife were very sick.

What advances the main plot is the repeated infidelity, the man's reaction after seeing his wife cheating, and the final murder of the adulterer.

The scene of a woman cheating seems very exciting, and the man being raped, uh... This is the morbid beauty, it can be regarded as a discussion of human nature.

No matter who it is, if this kind of thing happens to them, they will definitely not be able to bear it.

But if something like being cheated on by your wife happens to someone else, the public will become very curious. This is a very magical psychological state.

And at the end, the plot where the man kills his adulterer looks very exciting.

Generally speaking, the rhythm of this movie is low, exciting, morbid, and exciting again.

It’s a completely different version of reality.

Although there is still not much shown in the film, and it is not even rated R-rated, the whole story will be very satisfying as long as you don't take the male protagonist's perspective.

Of course, if there is a pervert and takes the initiative to assume the main perspective of the male protagonist, then...

random

Anyway, America has everyone.

The reason why Alan had so much fun with Monica was because of his hard work.

Monica is a young chick making a movie for the first time. Does she understand what the art of movies is?

Does she know how to play a slut?

She doesn't understand.

In order to help Monica better understand the mental journey of this character, and to allow Monica to be more open-minded, Allen played a little perverted.

In this situation, the kind-hearted Mr. Allen could only step forward. In order to improve the actor's acting skills and the film art, he personally made a small contribution and added a little excitement to his tense life.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the crew finished filming for the day and called it a day.

Allen sat in the car, reading letters and waiting for Monica to take off her makeup.

These days, I just focused on doing business and ignored Monica for several days.

During this filming, Allen usually did not take Monica home, but only brought her home when he needed to coach her in her acting skills.

But as soon as she finished coaching her acting skills, Allen would drive her away again, and her life would return to its original state. He would come every few days, which made Monica very uncomfortable, and she even became more and more afraid of Allen.

But what's amazing is that every time Allen stares at her for a while and gives her a look, she will be inexplicably excited, temporarily forgetting the fear in her heart, and can't help but follow Allen back to the manor.

After dinner, he asked the maid to take Monica for a beauty treatment. Allen first turned back to the bedroom and saw a small doghouse-like thing placed in the corner on the ground not far from his bed.

This is a bird's nest built by the family for Allen's little snowy owl named "Xiao Huang".

Because I was afraid that it would be too high, and the little snowy owl couldn't fly, and I was afraid that it would fall and get hurt, I ended up building a doghouse. Anyway, owls can also roam on the ground.

Allen barked a few times, like barking a dog, and called Xiao Huang.

The little thing poked his head out of the nest and opened his mouth wide when he saw Allen coming back.

Grabbing Xiao Huang and holding it in his hand, Allen turned and went to the study. He was filming during the day these days and had to deal with some official business when he came back in the evening.

First, he stuffed a few small strips of meat into Xiao Huang's mouth, fed Xiao Huang, and let him run around on the desk. Allen picked up the report document sent by Matthias.

This is a report table about the industries that can currently be carried out in China.

It roughly lists those industries that can now invest in China.

Allen also wants to do high-end industries, but

Isn't it because the money on hand is not abundant? The large film and television company is currently being established. Although the acquisition fee that will be obtained from Sony will be a large amount of money, Allen also has to plan in advance for the future of this money. place to go.

Theoretically speaking, in this period, engaging in high-tech industries, such as mobile phones, chips, computers, etc., will bring huge benefits.

However, there is a premise for this. These industries are just emerging, and mobile phones are only a little bit better. They all have one thing in common - that is, they are expensive!

Whether it is early investment, recruitment of talents, product research and development, or construction of production lines, large sums of money are required.

And there is no reward in sight for a while.

Let’s take mobile phones as an example.

Last year, Allen didn't use a cell phone, but this year, he now has one in his car.

That is, the old Big Brother, this thing has now developed into the second generation.

The signal problem has been solved, and it can be used in cities and near suburbs. For ordinary people, there are still two biggest problems with current mobile phones. First, the signal and call quality are not good.

You have to shout to answer the phone!

Second, the phone bill is too expensive!

The price of this kind of wireless phone is much more expensive than the price of landline phone!

From this time on, because of these shortcomings of mobile phones, another industry that has been developed for many years will be born, that is, pagers, also called BB machines in some places.

Although this thing is not cheap to buy, it is one-way, just like a text message receiver.

It can be used by putting in dry batteries, which can solve the problem of battery life very well. Moreover, it is a text message. The signal requirements are not as high as that of a mobile phone. If someone is looking for it, just call the paging station number and leave a message. After the message is successfully left, the message will be It is converted into a text message and sent to a pager according to a specific number.

People with pagers, after receiving the message, can call back on the spot or find a nearby public phone to call back, depending on the situation.

It can be regarded as greatly facilitating communication.

But the above-mentioned industries are short-lived. It is time-consuming and labor-intensive to invest in this industry now. Allen has limited funds. To be honest, he has no confidence in investing funds in these industries now.

Allen himself is a technical idiot, and he is not a professional in this field. Even if he can give a general development direction, what is the use?

Doesn’t research and development take time?

What if the technology has advanced by the time he finishes the research and development here?

Doesn't he want to be taken advantage of and make full compensation?

Therefore, considering these factors, Allen still prefers the physical industry and engages in production and sales.

He now has a clear market that he can develop throughout the Commonwealth, not to mention the Chinese market that has just opened up. For such a big market, he must first build a few more industries, spread his stall, and make money first. , don’t aim too high.

Holding a pen, he looked at the report form sent by Matthias line by line. Until a word that was both unfamiliar and familiar came into view, Allen was suddenly startled.

"Instant noodles?"

According to the report, Mattia found that the market for their convenience food was very poor during the inspection team he organized to visit China.

In well-developed cities in the southern coastal areas, you can see some instant noodles sporadically, but not much in other places.

It’s not that they don’t have it. The reasons are very complicated, but to sum up, firstly, Chinese people generally have limited incomes now. When traveling far away, taking a train, it’s pretty good to bring some biscuits, steamed buns and the like, boiled eggs and bring them with you before leaving. .

Things like instant noodles are now produced in Wan Province, as well as in island countries. The selling price is still very expensive for Chinese people.

The cheaper instant noodles like those in bags cost at least two or three yuan a pack.

According to Allen, this two or three yuan is not expensive, but compared with what Matthias said about their current per capita monthly salary, it is only a few dozen yuan a month.

This is not cheap, not to mention that bagged instant noodles are also inconvenient to eat when going out. Buckled instant noodles are more expensive than bagged instant noodles!

As for the instant noodles produced in China, Mattia's report said that they also have them, but they are all bulk instant noodles produced by state-owned factories, which are inconvenient to buy and carry. Plus...

Allen saw that some purchase restrictions in China were gradually opened this year, and he understood what was going on.

It probably means that materials are insufficient. Making instant noodles requires a lot of grain and oil. Generally, private enterprises do not engage in this kind of thing. The main reason is that raw materials are not easy to buy. Nowadays, private enterprises in China have just started, and it is a window period in the market.

As long as things like instant noodles are done well, they can catch up with the market in a few years and make profits when produced.

And the raw materials.

Allen can do it!

Thinking of this, Allen put down the report in his hand, rummaged around on the shelf next to him, and found a breakdown of the production categories of his family's food factory.

His food factory is not big in scale. It used to produce this stuff, but...

The sales of instant noodles in Da Ying were not good, so they later produced other products, but the old production lines are still there, and the production techniques are still there.

Looking through the production process of instant noodles, Allen frowned and drew a few circles on several main ingredients.

First of all, instant noodles, noodles are the most important thing, but the production of instant noodles requires another material-palm oil.

Each piece of instant noodles needs to be fried. According to the records, each piece of noodles requires an average of ten grams of palm oil. Once the production line is started, it can produce at least three to four hundred packets a minute.

This adds up to about ten kilograms of palm oil needed every minute. What about a day, a month and a year?

No wonder Chinese private enterprises don’t produce this stuff. They haven’t opened up their supplies to that extent yet. China is a big importer of palm oil. How can there be so much excess palm oil for private enterprises to produce instant noodles?

Allen put down the product details and rang the bell to call Hu Te. He felt that this industry was a bit promising. The investment was not large, but it could generate a large number of jobs. This kind of industry was very suitable for production in China. The most important thing was that it was It would be great to be able to make money for him!

"Master, do you need anything?"

"Come on, come on, I was just planning a project and found a project that I can do, but there are some things I don't understand. Please show me."

Allen first took some information and pushed it to Hu Te, motioning for him to take a look first.

When Hu Te frowned for a long time and raised his head to look at Allen, Allen couldn't wait to ask: "I am very curious now about the purchase channel of palm oil and where we buy it from. Can you tell me about it?" , if I want to invest in the instant noodle industry, can palm oil be supplied?"

"My family's food factory has always needed to use a large amount of palm oil, and the current purchase channel is from Nigeria."

Hu Te still has some impression of this. The food factory has been producing, and he reads the report every month, so he has an impression of this.

"Oh? Nigeria, isn't this a coincidence?"

Allen was stunned for a moment. He really had never cared about such things, but when Hute mentioned Nigeria, he was impressed.

He was familiar with the whole of West Africa. He used to be a part of that area - the sea.

Nigeria is not too far from Gambia, and sea transportation is also convenient.

Seeing Allen thinking intently, Hu Te thought for a while and said: "Master, if you want to invest in the instant noodle industry in China, it will be a bit inconvenient to purchase palm oil from Nigeria. I suggest you send someone to Malaysia. Master, before We still have some connections there, and although we haven’t been there for a long time, it’s quite convenient for us to go there in these old British colonies.”

"oh?"

Allen was stunned. Although he had been paying attention to those Commonwealth countries, some old traditional colonies before the British, although they became independent sooner or later after the war, there were still British forces there, and they went there to do business. Very convenient indeed.

The main reason is that Malaysia is closer to China and the shipping cost is cheaper!
