British 1986

"I, I." Patrice looked ashamed and didn't know what to say. Anyway, he remembered the way he complacently promised Allen during the meeting, and then thought about it now.

Allen, who was so angry that his liver ached, gasped and lit a cigarette. He had never expected this situation.

Who would have thought that someone who kindly wanted to make an anti-war movie using Canadian themes would be turned down by the people he sympathized with.

It seems like Canadians are very tough and loyal to the Queen.

But if you are really so loyal, why don't you let the Queen resume the past tradition and send the Governor from the British?

It’s so fucking upright.

Now what a million pounds, Allen won't take it, whoever wants it will go.

And it’s probably not possible to go to Canada to shoot.

but

Without you Canada, I would have to eat pigs with hair on them? !

At worst, it will be filmed in Wales. Who cares about you? !

The movie has been filmed, but the story of the movie needs to be changed now.

Movies can be considered a type of art. Art comes from life and is higher than life. Allen is now preparing to make this movie from the original restoration of reality to higher than life.

Um.

It’s good to have your own screenwriter, who can revise the script!

After putting out the cigarette, Allen paused for a while and looked at Patrice, who was sitting there without moving. Cameron was smart enough to let Patrice do it by himself, and he didn't dare to follow.

But for this kind of thing, even quarreling with Patrice would be of no use.

Allen sighed and said, "What about the rest? Have the props been ordered?"

"No."

Although he was a little reluctant, Patrice still shrank his neck and replied in a low voice.

The man in his fifties or sixties looked like a child who had made a mistake, shrinking his head and looking at Allen.

"Have you done anything about the props?!"

Allen was really angry this time. He confessed to two things and failed to do either of them. Isn't this a waste?

"No, no. Master, please listen to my explanation. It's not that we didn't handle it well, we just encountered a little change."

Patrice waved his hands in panic and quickly explained to Allen about the props.

Since his failure in Ottawa, Patrice took Cameron with him very forcefully. The two flew directly to Los Angeles and found the old Karl who was in charge of the overall situation there.

Then he expressed his intention to ask Old Karl to help find a few powerful prop companies in Hollywood to customize a batch of German military costumes, aircraft, tanks and so on.

But at this time, the negotiation with the props company was almost complete, but something unexpected happened.

At the dinner that day, the business was almost concluded. Patrice was happy, and so was Karl Lao. They invited a few people to have a dinner together, and then called the small gang family supported by Karl Lao, the same family that poured gasoline.

Then a few grown men talked about it at the dinner table after drinking.

He does not mean that.

In order to repay Old Carl for his kindness in reinventing the family, the new head of the family always wanted to repay Old Carl, his nominal uncle.

Then I happened to hear the news.

Their family has access to the military, otherwise they wouldn't be able to get cheap gasoline. The military's access is sometimes very magical, and they can get many unexpected things.

The US military has troops stationed in Germany, and it also plundered a large amount of supplies from Germany. Some of them are very useful, and of course they can be brought back to the United States, but some of them are useless and a pity to throw away, so they are just left there. The warehouse here in Germany is gathering dust.

For example, there are a lot of real German military uniforms.

There are also authentic real German tanks and aircraft.

These things are all old-fashioned and are kept in large quantities. Even if they are placed in a museum, people would dislike these things taking up space.

Now that he saw that Uncle Carl wanted such things, the new head of the family said that he had a way to buy these things at a very, very low scrap price, and the delivery place was close to Wales, and he could save a lot of money. shipping fee.

Patrice knew Allen well and knew that Allen was very particular when making movies.

When filming a fire scene, the young master dared to use Koreans to film it!

With the young master's spirit of striving for perfection, if he could get a real thing at a cheaper price, wouldn't it be better than custom-made props?

"???"

Allen opened his mouth and looked at Patrice, who looked ashamed, and almost lost his mind.

Stock German military uniforms from more than 40 years ago, as well as old tanks and aircraft?

Can I get this thing too?

If you really take it out for shooting when the time comes,

You won't be misunderstood that you are really preparing to rebel, right?

I didn't want to rebel. Now you have prepared this yellow robe for me?

Damn it

"You said, this is that small gang family, following the path of the US military, asking the US military to transport it to us?"

Not to mention the quality of the goods, Allen is very familiar with this transportation channel. He saw it a lot when he was in the army, and he is still using it now, but

"Master, the economy is in recession now, and everyone is just trying to make ends meet. In the US military, it is said that there are many gangs, and they also want to do business. As long as the money is in place, they can sell anything, not to mention it is not a critical item. , these are all small things, people are just along the way."

Patrice pointed in the direction of the Middle East, where the US military is currently withdrawing.

"."

Allen was even more speechless after hearing this.

From the Middle East to Germany and then to Wales, you tell me this is a smooth journey?

"What about the price? Compared with us ordering props."

Allen watched Patrice extend his index finger to him for an unknown number of times today, and his brain suddenly hurt.

"Stop gesticulating for me and tell me!"

"10%, 10%! Master, it's really the scrap price. They sell it when they give you money! It's almost sold by the pound."

"???"

Regardless of whether these things are legal or not, as long as the other party dares to ship them to him, everything else doesn't matter in the face of the absolutely low price. Allen was a little disgusted just now, but now he is buying things from the US military, and they are only 10% of the original price. This business is done!

Even if the quality is a little bit off, Allen admits it.

In the face of the absolutely low price, no problem is a problem!

"Okay! Then keep watching and place an order with them. You have to control the quality. Don't really ship me a batch of scraps!"

There was finally good news. After Allen finished explaining, he waved his hand a little tiredly, signaling Patrice to get out and go do some errands.

"Yes! Don't worry, young master, I will definitely keep an eye on you this time."

"Well, go quickly."

At the end of May, Allen, who was waiting for the crew to prepare and revise the script, didn't want to go to school, so he took a good rest at home for a few days. That night, he just finished handling family affairs and came out of the study. He hadn't seen him for a few days. Hu Te was about to knock on the study door.

"Why are you here so late?"

Allen motioned for Hut to follow him. He was going to go back to the bedroom to rest. If he had anything to do, he could just talk while walking.

Hu Te hesitated for a moment, walked to Allen's side and whispered: "I received a fax. There is an emergency in China."

"???"

Allen paused and frowned.

What's going on recently? I keep having bad luck.

The preliminary preparations for filming the movie were not smooth either. Could it be that there is another problem with the business now?

"What's the emergency? Something happened to the factory?"

"no."

Huth picked up the folder and flipped through it again. After memorizing the place names on the fax, he reported these awkward place names to Allen: "Starting from mid-May, um... their eastern region has continued to rain. , the water levels of many rivers have risen, and there are already floods in some areas, and according to the news received so far, the situation is still spreading."

"oh?"

Allen was a little surprised when he heard the news. He really didn't know about this.

Quickly walking back to the bedroom and coming to the map hanging on the wall in the side hall, Allen asked Huth to point to him on the map.

Looking at the disaster location identified by Hut, Allen was a little silent.

His radio factory and instant noodle factory are located in Hujian Province. Four cities were opened to the public in the first batch. Allen finally chose Menxia City, a place with an excellent port and an obvious inconspicuous place. He did not go north. There are too many, and it’s not too far to the south. It’s considered to be in the middle of several open cities.

The currently affected province is not far from Hu Jian Province, just one province away.

In this situation, Allen squinted and pointed at the map and said, "Has our factory suffered any damage?"

"Not yet, it's still some distance from the factory."

"Um"

Allen pinched his chin, this situation was a bit difficult to deal with.

"Is there anything else going on there?"

"No, Master, this is an early warning from the person in charge. He is worried that the situation will continue to spread and affect factory production. He will report it in advance and hope to come up with a response plan."

"Um!"

Allen nodded, pointed to the sofa, and motioned Hu Te to sit down and speak slowly.

Now that the problem is known, the person in charge of the factory did the right thing. All warnings and response plans that should have been prepared before the disaster must be prepared in advance.

It doesn't have to be a response plan from Allen. They should have already started making plans when they send back the fax.

Because they are in that environment, they know better than people like Allen who are thousands of miles away.

But when it comes to this kind of thing, even if Allen wants to help, he has to have a certain reputation. He can't just rush out when others can solve the problem, right?

Don't do bad things with good intentions and let others misunderstand that you are just kidding.

"In this way, let them continue to pay attention and report to me immediately if there is any situation. First, send them our disaster plan for their reference. If nothing else is said, if the factory is affected, first ensure the safety of workers and equipment. Postponed.”

"this"

Hu Te blinked, looked at Allen who had finished explaining, and did not refute after thinking about it.

The young master has always taught him that in the future, he must go out. Doing business in Great Britain is a dead end. The relationships between various families and nobles are crisscrossed. Doing business is too tiring. It is better to jump out. No one will be offended and develop well. Foreign emerging markets, and China is a good place, and it is also the place where the young master has been planning.

Now we have to make this move to ensure the safety of workers first and postpone the safety of equipment.

This is not common among noble lords!

"Okay, I will notify you."

Hu Te took the folder, wrote down Allen's instructions and stood up. It was getting late, and after finishing the matter, he would not disturb Allen's rest.

In Carmarthen Town in early June, a big news swept the town in just a few days.

Notices are posted in prominent locations at major intersections with high traffic volume.

Before the end of the month, most residents in the town must cooperate in the filming of the movie!

And the filming location was in Carmarthen Town.

In order to better appear in the movie, we are now recruiting extras.

The condition for the group performance is that all residents who are still living in Carmarthen Town must register!

After seeing the conditions clearly, the residents of the town were shocked.

Everyone has to cooperate in the filming?

So how do they work?

Is there any more royal method?

oh?

Was it requested by His Excellency the Earl?

Then, this royal method can also disappear temporarily for a period of time, and then appear again after your Excellency finishes filming the movie.

only

Most of the residents felt a little distressed. Although film shooting was nothing new, and the nearby residents had seen the Lord filming movies from a distance in the past two years, they were still a little nervous when this kind of thing happened to them.

What should I do if I still have work?

If you don't work and work as an extra, what kind of income will you get?

What if I lose my job after acting for a long time?

Without making the residents of the town wait any longer, the second announcement came out the next day.

During the recent period, in order to cooperate with His Excellency the Earl's movie shooting, several nearby factories have taken paid vacations!

These dilapidated factories originally belonged to Allen. Now, by paying them normal wages and not having to work, they would just be extras. In this way, they would not have to worry about work.

As for those who don't work locally, it doesn't matter. They will receive a subsidy and live outside during this period. If you want to participate in group performances, that's your choice.

The entire town of Carmarthen has been commandeered by Allen for the filming of the film.

Originally, the script and historical story took place in Winnipeg, a city in western Canada.

Winnipeg is the capital of Manitoba and currently the eighth largest city in Canada, with a population of just over half a million.

It is said to be the provincial capital, but more than half of the population of Manitoba lives in Winnipeg.

The geographical environment of Winnipeg is somewhat similar to that of Carmarthen Town, of course, only in spring and summer, but not in winter.

Everyone is building near the river. However, now that Winnipeg has developed, there are not many old buildings left. Carmarthen Town is just the opposite. There are not many new buildings and all are old buildings.

Apart from the small difference in the size of the town, the other problems are not big.

Ever since the Canadians didn't welcome him to Canada for filming, Allen held his breath and said, "If I'm not welcome, I won't go!"

It was filmed in Carmarthen Town, just to scare these Welsh people.

Thinking about how many years it had been since the Hill family had played such a big battle, Allen felt a little excited every time he thought about it.

He was already imagining the scene of these Welsh people resisting desperately, not wanting to be an extra for him, and then holding up signs to protest.

Then he can make a brilliant appearance with the evil slave, and let these Welsh people see the sword in the hand of the Earl of Carmarthen.

However.

After waiting for a few days, the whole town of Carmarthen was calm.
