British 1986

When asked by Allen, several small crew members looked at each other.

One of the little men replied: "Well, boss, if you are an ordinary office worker, if you want to save a little, maybe spread some butter on two slices of bread, add some vegetables or something, and drink it with a cup of tea?"

"???"

Is this fucking human food?

Before Allen could continue to ask, another photographer next to him said: "He is talking about the kind where you bring the ingredients and make it yourself. If you buy it in the supermarket, um. One or two sandwiches? And put some sauce on it. If there is mashed potatoes, , If you want French fries, you can also have one, and it’s best to have a cup of yogurt or something.”

Allen nodded, walked around the fresh food area, and took a look at the current prices.

How do you describe the current purchasing power of the pound?

Allen usually doesn't care about these things at all. He rarely spends his own money. The servants at home are responsible for purchasing these ingredients.

Nowadays, when I go to a small supermarket like this and look at the things on the shelves, it is quite fresh.

Such as eggs.

Twenty pieces only cost 55p.

In other words, 1 pound can buy about forty eggs.

The price is amazing.

But the fresh meat on the side is different. Beef, very ordinary beef costs more than one pound per kilogram, less than two pounds. If it is a good part of the steak, the price is even higher. , about three or four pounds per kilogram!

And this is all local beef. If it is imported beef with better quality, the price will be more expensive.

Then milk becomes very cheap again, basically not much different from the price of water.

Alan picked up two sandwiches that looked pretty good, plus a side of mashed potatoes and a bottle of yogurt.

Give it to the staff next to you and ask them to heat the mashed potatoes for you.

After Ceylon communicated with the boss, the crew had already set up the shooting equipment, lighting panels, and microphones.

Allen sat on the small fast food chair and looked at the food on the tray.

This meal cost less than five pounds.

He had no idea about the money, he just thought it was cheap.

But think about the per capita income in Great Britain now.

I also feel that prices are just like that.

This year's per capita annual income in the UK is about 13,000 pounds.

Of course, this number is before tax.

Excluding tax, the amount you get is almost 10,000 pounds.

This adds up to more than 800 pounds per month.

The meal he had today seemed to be very simple, not even a lot of meat. Even if he ate this three times a day, it would cost at least 450 pounds to eat in a month.

But you have to eat some meat occasionally, right?

Let’s calculate the monthly food expenses as five hundred pounds. Add in other expenses such as rent, water, electricity, insurance, transportation, etc., and there really won’t be much left every month.

so.

Nowadays, most people are complaining about the economic downturn, and it is already good to get a stable income every month, and what about those who are unemployed!

Employees like these crew members get more money than ordinary people.

The minimum monthly income is more than 1,200 pounds after tax. In addition, there are rewards at the end of the year. Calculating both inside and outside, their monthly income is at least 60% higher than the average salary!

And this monthly income of more than 1,000 pounds is not enough for Allen to pay for one piece of clothing.

I picked up the sandwich and smelled it. It had no smell, it was just an ordinary assembly line product.

Thin slices of bread filled with lettuce leaves, tomatoes, fried eggs, and a thin slice of lunch meat.

After taking a bite, it was not unpleasant, but definitely not delicious.

Allen raised his head and looked at the camera and said honestly: "Well, this is my first time eating a sandwich like this from a supermarket. To be honest, it's not bad, but it's not delicious either. I can only say it makes me hungry."

For a man of Allen's physique, he wouldn't be full even after eating four of these tiny sandwiches.

But it didn't matter, he only got two, and a small bowl of mashed potatoes to lighten things up.

This thing has no taste on its own, and it depends entirely on the sauce that is poured on it.

It's cheap, very hungry, and the first choice for common people.

Picking up the yogurt and taking a sip, Allen thought that if ordinary people ate these things, their happiness would really not be high. No wonder they had to make trouble every once in a while. If he were to eat this kind of thing every day, he would There has to be a fuss!

The aristocratic men eat whatever they want at home, and the bread is used to wipe their knives. But here, even the bread in the sandwich only has two thin slices.

While Allen was eating, Ceylon, who had been standing outside the camera, smiled and watched Allen eat.

Although Allen is a noble, he did eat all these very common foods, which is good!

These days, such behavior is no different than ordinary people in future generations seeing a super A-list celebrity sitting at a roadside fly house eating snacks, very down-to-earth!

Just as he was thinking about choosing a better restaurant next time, a staff member next to him handed a small big brother to Ceylan with a serious face and said: "Team leader, urgent call!"

"Um?"

Ceylon took the phone. This kind of phone is a bit like the size of a cordless phone in the future. It is considered a second-generation mobile phone. It is not very popular yet and the price is extremely expensive.

"Okay, okay, I get it!"

After a few responses, Ceylan hung up the phone with the same serious look. Just in time to catch Allen's eyes when he heard the noise and looked over, Ceylan nodded and pointed at the phone.

Finally, I took the last bite of mashed potatoes. This stuff was a little dry after eating too much, and my throat felt like sand. I drank the last bite of yogurt and pressed it down. Allen smiled and faced the camera to end this food review.

The headquarters of the takeaway company is in Cardiff. When making a program, of course, we must start with the food that ordinary people eat every day. Try both the bad and the good. First, it can promote these ordinary places to eat, and you can also drop by. Spread the word about Blue Knight Takeout Company.

After the staff signaled the end with gestures, Ceylon walked up to Allen, bent down and whispered in Allen's ear: "Sir, something happened, and your movie was forced to be released in the United States. "

"???"

Allen turned his head suddenly and glanced at Ceylon.

Forced to release?

It's only been released for half a month, and it's already being released?

Are the damn Yankees targeting me?

As if he had a persecution delusion, Allen stood up and walked out, saying as he walked: "Let's go pick up William, then call home and ask Huth to contact Karl to find out what's going on."

As soon as he arrived in the hall, William threw his small schoolbag to the servant, cheered and ran upstairs. Harry followed behind, also yelling innocently.

Allen ignored these two naughty kids and watched Hu Te take over a stack of fax documents.

The information is still hot!

While walking towards the study, Allen whispered: "What's going on?"

"I just had a phone call with Karl. There are some things that are not convenient to discuss on the phone. He said that someone reported it!"

"Fuck! Is it Xiao Heizi again?"

Hu Te looked at Allen's face and nodded: "According to the information on the fax, yes."

"."

Allen took a deep breath and shook the fax information in his hand firmly.

You're just a son of a bitch, why do you remember to eat but not to fight?

Why do you report me when you have nothing to do all day?

Didn’t I just make a modern, suspenseful, thriller, parent-child, and warning movie?

Back in the study, Allen looked at the information on the fax carefully.

Due to the time difference, American time, this morning, Allen's "The Bad Seed" was suddenly forced to be released on a large scale. This was a notice issued by the American Motion Picture Association.

However, because states in the United States have different views on this kind of thing, not all of the movies have been released. Several states are still showing them, and the reviews are quite good.

However, for Allen, this is no different from releasing all movies.

He has always been concerned about face, but the Americans suddenly made such a move, which made Allen a little embarrassed.

It's like going to a banquet and being kicked out by the organizer.

It was only released on Christmas Day, and it was only released for half a month!

Let’s not talk about the box office loss, let’s talk about the subsequent public opinion.

Allen looked at the fax and someone began to criticize the plot of the movie, wondering what it was that was not a good guide.

Isn’t that the fucking truth?

After reading a few pages of critical reports in American newspapers this morning, Allen was a little irritated and suddenly felt something tugging at his trouser leg.

When he lowered his head, he saw Xiao Huang rubbing his head against Allen's trouser leg. He picked it up and put it on the desk. Allen crossed his hands and turned his index fingers towards each other. He looked at Hu Te and then at Xi. orchid.

"Let's deal with it according to the planned plan, let Patrice come forward, and..."

Allen looked at Hu Te and said: "Let old Karl quickly find out who reported me and who was involved!"

Before Hu Te could say anything, Ceylon stood up first. She knew there were some words she couldn't listen to, so she made an excuse and left the study first.

After Ceylon left, Hu Te said softly: "Master, the last time you ordered those black men to be dealt with, His Highness already asked Capel to warn you. It hasn't been long yet."

The implication is that it is difficult to do this this time. It is not that it cannot be done, but that some things must be done in the right amount and the scale must be grasped.

Allen sighed, patted the table and said: "Then what should I do? It has only been released for half a month! Including channel fees, not only will I not make any money this time, I will lose at least millions of dollars! My Did the money come from the strong wind?"

"Damn it, don't they Americans like to stir up trouble and talk about freedom of speech everywhere? My movie can't have freedom of speech? Even if I give advance notice? Then it is suddenly released for me? What is this? Give it to me What about their faces? I want to see their faces?"

"Master, please calm down, impulsiveness won't solve the problem."

Hu Te watched Allen getting more and more angry, knowing that his temper was rising, but it was impossible not to persuade him. This time, if the young master had an impulse, he would send bodyguards to fly to the United States like last time, and act unscrupulously on other people's territory. If they are cruel, the other party will probably take advantage of them.

They didn't dare to attack Allen, but Allen's bodyguards...

What if I get injured?

What if one is missing?

Once those people get the handle, they will be passive.

Allen took another deep breath, looked at Xiao Huang who was staring at him curiously, and reached out to stroke its big head twice.

"Give me Papa and call me!"

Allen said something and closed his eyes slightly.

This Papa is the leader of the small team that went to work in the United States last time. He is also one of Allen's bodyguards. He is very skilled in business skills and very discerning.

Now Hu Te is afraid that he will be impulsive and send people over rashly, and will be caught. It will not look good on both sides.

But Allen couldn't bear this tone!

If the bodyguard cannot personally take action and kill the little guy who reported his movie, then Allen is going to settle for the next best thing.

If my bodyguard doesn't take action, I can't hire someone to take action?

Anyway, I just want to kill them, these indifferent little black guys, Allen will not be happy if they live one more day!

He is either discriminating against all sunspots, or he is simply discriminating against individual sunspots from America who have nothing to do and always love to play tricks on him.

Allen just hates them. They are a group of self-righteous giant babies. They think that if they report quietly, they will bring some financial losses to themselves, and then hide, they will be fine?

snort.

"Boss? Are you looking for me?"

Papa crossed his hands in front of him, bowed slightly to Allen, then straightened his back and stood in the open space in front of his desk. Hu Te silently looked at the veteran named Papa next to him.

"I'll give you a task. I'll write a letter later and ask you to go to the United States to find Old Carl and get the money from him!"

"take money?"

Allen took out the letter paper without any ink. While explaining to Papa, he took a pen and wrote a line on the manuscript paper.

"Save the Black Labrador Conservation Association"

"Does the foundation know? I remember you studied finance, right?"

"I didn't learn it before I joined the army."

Papa responded honestly.

"Very good! We are going to set up a pet dog protection association to rescue black Labradors. The main purpose is to provide help to those stray black Labradors."

Allen looked at the name on the manuscript paper and sneered. Dogs like Labrador have short hair and are prone to obesity, especially black Labradors. If you don't control their body shape, they will really eat well and become fat and round. .

This is the black dog that best fits the image of a dog in Allen's mind.

Do the fat black Labradors who eat like this look like some groups in the United States who like to eat and are lazy to cook, have no cultural knowledge, are lazy to eat, and like to buy for zero dollars?

Are there many black Labradors in the United States?

Quite a few!

But there are really not many homeless people.

Since it is under the banner of rescuing animals, it is necessary to conduct a large-scale investigation. By contacting pet stores, pet grooming shops and other channels that are very common in the United States, a lot of information can be obtained.

In addition, in the name of rescuing animals, a lot of trouble can be avoided.

By rescuing animals, we find some more extreme Americans who want to make money and issue them some tasks.

for example

While talking about the plan, Allen wrote down the organizational structure of the foundation on the manuscript paper.

Such foundations are very popular now. They often raise funds in the name of foundations and invest the raised money at the same time. The income depends entirely on operations.

But not all foundations are for profit.

Allen is not allowed to make a profit.

He is going to save the black dog and fight the black dog at the same time!
