British 1986

Chapter 275 Ceylon’s Dilemma

However, he endured it, and Allen did a better job. He immediately followed up, and secretly exposed that the hotel where the recording was secretly recorded had Donald's shares.

As a result, Donald, who was already deep in debt crisis, was a little unable to bear it.

He is now on the verge of bankruptcy, and what businessmen care about most is business matters. Donald is a real estate businessman.

His real estate group also owns several hotels. If his recording reputation is confirmed, how will he open any hotels in the future?

Will customers have to worry about being recorded by thieves when they stay in his hotel in the future?

He was already suffocating, but after being fucked like this again, Donald almost didn't recover.

Of course, he also knew who was behind it.

It was that young nobleman——Alan Hill.

This man's methods were very dirty, as if he was retaliating against himself for sending flowers to Diana and harassing her.

It's just that this method of revenge is very European, very aristocratic, dirty and disgusting, and it leaves Donald speechless.

Now, his wife is dirty, and so is his reputation and credibility. Donald can only bear the pain and withdraw his shares in the hotel in France, and publicly clarify in the newspaper that the hotel and his Donald Real Estate Group, It has absolutely nothing to do with it!

Even so, in just one month, Allen's mental and financial losses were immeasurable.

The method is dirty, but it works!

The family was falling apart, and for his own sake, he had to endure his "grief" and dare not speak out, or even admit it, and had to help them cover it up.

He was also almost killed in business. If he hadn't called his father at home for help, his real estate group would have almost gone bankrupt, just a little bit closer!

If it hadn't been for the outbreak of the Gulf War, which suppressed the news' popularity, no one could tell what would have happened later.

Now, Donald knew who was behind it, but he didn't even have the means or thoughts to take revenge. He was too busy taking care of himself.

And the reason for all this, in a circle, is still because of Allen.

All real estate developers, regardless of national boundaries, need to have a lot of connections and capital behind them.

Indispensable!

It doesn't matter. You can only be a small contractor at most, and don't even think about going above that.

This industry has a strong regional monopoly, and its methods are generally wild.

In other words, no matter how big a real estate developer is, there will definitely be no shortage of corresponding opponents or enemies!

A lot of people are interested in a land in a good location. As long as there are many people competing for it, there will be enemies. If the group wants to develop, it must constantly compete for land, and then enemies will continue.

And for a real estate developer with billions of dollars in assets, the corresponding enemy is definitely equal to him in strength.

This kind of large-scale incident that caused a lot of fuss some time ago has made Donald famous and his enemies also know about it.

Although newspapers reported it, they always used words such as suspected, maybe, etc.

But those who know the truth know what is going on here.

Who doesn't know how to add insult to injury? Take action when it's time to take action.

From the newspapers, ordinary people only knew that Donald was suspected of being cheated on by his wife, and that his hotel was not safe to stay in because it would leak customer privacy.

They don't care about the rest.

And at this time, adhering to the principle that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, it happened that Syphis went to the United States for business.

Someone took the initiative to extend an olive branch of friendship to Siphis.

Many people know about Karl Sr. who lives in Los Angeles. Although Karl Sr. is very low-key, his public identity is that of the butler of the Hill family, and he is also a knight. This little old man is usually very tough on Americans, has a very arrogant temper, and often looks down on him. them.

But the more he behaves like this, the more he attracts certain people.

The entire atmosphere in Hollywood is like this. In Vanity Fair, stars last till the end. Once they have money, they want to be famous. Once they are famous, they want to push their way up the ladder.

Now that the time is ripe, there is finally a reason to get on the line with them, and someone has taken the initiative to help Xiffis negotiate with the theater chain.

Real estate groups and theater chains are inextricably linked, and anyone can talk to them.

With a small crew, if a certain film is a box office hit, it can earn hundreds of millions.

The accounting period for these box office revenues is at least half a year at least. If you encounter a more rogue distributor, it is possible that it will delay you for a year or two.

Those who work in film and television companies are each dirtier than the other. What can't they do for money?

Listening to Patrice's account of the twists and turns, Allen didn't care who stepped forward to help Siphis. These people who took the initiative to show their kindness would more or less have a purpose, and they were not all good people. He didn't want to take the initiative. Go ahead and ask until they really find you.

"In other words, the box office split is almost settled over there?"

"yes!"

Patrice blinked and nodded affirmatively.

Ceylon was still in a daze just now. Seeing that Patrice had finally finished his report, he quickly raised his hand to indicate that Allen wanted to speak.

"you say!"

Allen raised his chin. There were only three people in the conference room, which made it easier to talk.

"Boss, I have a question about the script. Our theme this time is very simple, but screenwriter Rowling asked me to ask you, do you need to add emotional elements such as a love story?"

Allen has a man and a woman as his screenwriters. The two work separately and work together. One is responsible for the main line of the story, and the other is responsible for the more delicate dialogue and emotional scenes. They have worked well together in the past.

But the subject matter and emotional drama this time are a bit out of place, right?

Allen frowned. At this moment, he suddenly thought of the various anti-Japanese thunder dramas that had flooded the Chinese market.

They always add emotional scenes into it, and just add it in without looking at any subject matter. The screenwriter is like a fucking idiot.

So serious things are just added in?

And it's not the kind of innocent emotional drama, but the kind of modern erotic drama that simply feeds shit to the audience.

The same goes for his this time. The Germans are attacking at the doorstep. How about adding an emotional scene with Mao?

Do I need another one?

Woman: "Ah, Jack, I can't walk anymore. Please leave quickly and leave me alone."

Man: "Oh Rose, I won't leave, I won't leave you, I promise to God."

Woman: "No Jack, please leave quickly and leave me alone. I love you."

Man: "Rose, please stop talking. I will help you walk together. I love you too."

The German soldiers who caught up said: "I've been listening to you two for a long time, don't leave even one of them."

"Bang, bang."

The world is purified.

Allen imagined this scene in his mind and shuddered hard.

"No! Just add a little bit of family ties. Don't add anything else. It's too confusing."

The Ceylon issue was severely rejected.

"Then this is the information I have collected. Boss, please take a look. We are still encountering some preparation problems."

Ceylon pushed a thick piece of information to Allen.

This contains all the information of the Canadian War Fundraising Committee of that year.

From the composition of the personnel, to how much money was raised each time in each city, who was in charge, and how the donations were raised, there are records.

There are also records about the time when the British army acted as fake German soldiers to scare their own people into fraudulent donations.

Their problem now is that more than 3,000 British troops were dispatched to act as fake German troops.

It was a war period, and there were guard troops outside, so manpower was easy to find.

But what now?

In order to make this movie, we couldn't find 3,000 extras, right?

How much does it cost? Even if each person is only paid fifty pounds per day, the daily salary of three thousand extras adds up to fifteen thousand pounds. What about a week? What about a month?

That’s not counting other weapons and equipment, there are so many props, guns, tanks, and airplanes.

This is all money. Just counting the things that need to be prepared in the early stage, not even 20 to 30 million pounds can be obtained.

After solving these problems, what about the venue?

This fundraising farce was held in Winnipeg, Canada, but Winnipeg a few decades ago is completely different from Winnipeg now!

Don't even think about taking pictures on location. The high-rise buildings there are all modern buildings, so it's impossible to take pictures.

While flipping through the information, Allen listened to Ceylon complaining about the various difficulties encountered in the early preparations.

As he listened, Allen suddenly looked strange.

The difficulties mentioned by Ceylon, whether they are difficult or not, do seem to be somewhat difficult.

but

It seems I can solve it myself.

Doesn't he have a food delivery company that is short of people? It just so happens that it's time to recruit people again this year. His current food delivery company has more than 1,800 delivery boys alone. Plus the new people recruited this year, although it may not be enough There are 3,000 people, but for making a movie, why do we do it more seriously? Let’s make do with more shots from other perspectives.

He can even use five to six hundred people to create a sense of déjà vu with two to three thousand people.

Anyway, the food delivery company is not developing smoothly right now. Temporarily redeploying a thousand people can ensure the normal operation of the company.

Wouldn't this manpower problem be solved directly?

As for wages?

They have been paid wages in the first place, so what kind of wages should they use? Are you an employee? What are you doing?

This is not making a movie, this is group building organized by the company in batches. The team building project is to help the boss make a movie. It has great social significance!

As for weapons, let alone other things, there are plenty of old-fashioned firearms from the Second World War in the underground warehouse at home!

Not to mention weapons from the Second World War, there are even older weapons from the First World War at home. You can just pull them out and use them without props!

It’s just that some of the tanks and planes from back then need to be prepared. They really don’t exist anymore. They only have cannons, but no tanks.

But having saved such a large amount of money, Allen doesn't feel bad about spending some money elsewhere.

After chatting with Ceylon about his thoughts, the more Allen spoke, the wider Ceylon's mouth opened.

"Can this still happen?"

Due to some historical reasons, the British Army's organization was very unique, with no distinction between regiments and battalions.

But the equipped troops of more than a thousand people can definitely be regarded as a small or medium-sized army.

This is a legion, and it was pulled out in just a few minutes?

Until this moment, Ceylon was suddenly a little confused and a little shocked. Is this the background of his boss? This is a soldier, a soldier with weapons!

A legion!

Don't worry about whether their weapons are old or not. If their weapons are too old, they can no longer be used?

As long as it can still be used, this is a legion. Don't forget, there are still people at home who are not being used. If it were any other time, would this person be able to pull out thousands of armed forces in an instant?

It’s scary to think about it.

Hey, wait.

Ceylon suddenly reacted. Serious people, who would store so many weapons in their underground warehouse?

Is this the collecting hobby of noble gentlemen?

Where do you get all these weapons in your house?

Ceylon didn't quite believe that these weapons were obtained by the right way.

But she didn't dare to ask this question. No one outside had ever asked such a question, so why should she question it herself?

"Okay."

Ceylon nodded. If we only prepare some props, tanks, planes, etc., it would indeed greatly reduce the workload of preliminary preparations.

But after what happened just now, Ceylon always feels weird about this movie shooting.

If my boss really takes so many people to shoot a movie in Canada, will the other country dare to let them enter?

With this manpower, if someone has other ideas, it will be chaos. Canadians don't seem to trust the British anymore, especially the British aristocrats.

This makes it look like a restoration, so don't scare Canadians.

It’s the same as it was decades ago, dreamy linkage.

"correct!"

Now that he was talking about movie preparations, Allen turned his head and motioned to Patrice and said: "Get ready, take advantage of the weather to go to Canada and find..."

Originally, he wanted Patrice to repeat the same routine he played in Australia before, and then go there to find the Governor-General of Canada, and ask them to provide some money to support the filming of a new movie on the pretext of promoting tourism and building the economy.

But Alan suddenly remembered that Canada was different from Australia and seemed a little more difficult to deal with.

Because America, the rebellious son, has done evil, Canada, the mixed-race child, has also been led to rebel by America.

Although Canada is now a Commonwealth country and is still loyal to the Queen and maintains the configuration of the Governor-General of Canada, their Governor-General is very special.

The governors of other places are nominally appointed by the queen before taking office, and they are also given a title before leaving, maintaining the old tradition that only nobles can serve as governors.

In the past, the Governor-General of Canada was very famous, and successive governors-general had served from viscount, earl, to marquis.

But since the 1950s, Canada, a rebellious son who has been led astray, has entered a rebellious stage.

They no longer accept the governor appointed by Great Britain.

Their governor-general was changed to the position that can only be appointed by the Prime Minister of Canada, and it is also the French-speaking governor-general and the English-speaking governor-general in each term. In other words, after the candidates are designated, the queen will appoint them.

Moreover, all governors-general of Canada since then have no title.

Although the Queen appears to be smiling and saying nothing, she just won't give you a title. Such a Governor-General of Canada is somewhat unworthy of his name.

If Allen now uses his own name to send Patrice to talk to the Governor of Canada about funds, he doesn't know if the current Governor of Canada still recognizes his face as a noble man.
