British 1986

"Subsequent release plan"

Patrice still feels a little pity. Now that movies are becoming more popular, there are so many places in the Commonwealth that you can still make some money along the way.

But Allen had no plans in this regard. He had considered not releasing it elsewhere when it was first released.

"Young Master thinks it's too much trouble! Let's go with the video tape distribution model."

Syphis knew more than Patrice and understood what Allen meant better.

Although it is simple to release a movie in other Commonwealth regions, in addition to being released locally, you have to find a local distributor to pay distribution fees when you release it in other regions. This will cut into the already small profits. All things considered, this kind of film would not have been a box office hit in the first place, plus the various labor costs involved.

The profit gained is very small, which is equivalent to doing it for nothing. It is not as cost-effective as selling the video directly.

"That's okay." Seeing that Siphis had the same idea, Patrice stopped trying.

Throughout late April and May, Allen's life calmed down. Except for a hurried flight to Xiangjiang for a day or two, the rest of the time was spent in the manor.

He basically had little contact with those Xiangjiang businessmen, leaving all matters in this area to Carl and Wei Yixin to help him.

"Master, this is an invitation letter from the princess. Do you think you will go to attend?"

Huth placed a very delicate-looking invitation letter on Allen's desk.

"Um?"

Allen, who was reading the plan, raised his head, picked up the invitation and flipped through it. The thing was simple. This was an invitation to a charity auction, which would be held in July.

Most of the participants are nobles, big and small, and the proceeds from the auction will be donated to some poor people in Europe.

Diana seemed to want to invite Allen to such an event. Charles would definitely not go, but Allen.

He doesn't want to go either!

In this kind of charity auction, it doesn't matter who is participating. What is important is that all the money from the auction will be donated to the poor, and you will have to spend money yourself.

He is still poor himself!

There is nothing to be gained by participating in such charity activities except earning some fame.

If he had money to do something with, wouldn't it be no different if he donated it to these gringos?

What's more, since he was attending with Diana, the media reports were all about Diana, so how could it be his turn?

Even the reputation is gone!

After watching until the end, he didn't find any specifically stated requirements. Allen asked Hu Te: "Is this just an ordinary invitation letter?"

"It should be an invitation sent by the princess on the way to help the organizer."

"Well then just reply, I won't go."

Allen took his personal seal and stamped it under the invitation, thus indicating that he had read the letter.

He doesn't have time to deal with these messy things now. The small amount of money raised from his real estate plan is finally coming to his account. Allen, who has been keeping a low profile recently, finally has some motivation.

Allen, who is almost living off the kickbacks from shipping companies and banks, will finally be able to get rid of this embarrassing life in a few days!

The making of a movie.

It's quite troublesome to say that, from the most well-known actors, directors, crew members, to post-production staff, and even the publicity and distribution staff after the final film is produced, they are all part of the film production process.

And with so many people, the cost required for each type of work has different specifications in different places.

For example, for Allen's new movie, he needed a very simple location, just a small town and a few houses.

But there is much more that can be done here.

For example.

He could turn out that these houses were newly built specifically for the filming of the movie.

This can directly change from a model where you only need to pay a small fee for renting a venue to a model that requires tens or millions of pounds to build a new venue.

Other props are also quoted as expensive as they can be.

The water quality in Great Britain is not good. Everyone on the crew needs to drink water. A bottle of imported water costs ten pounds.

All arranged!

All props needed for film shooting, no matter how big or small, are priced in the most expensive direction.

With such an arrangement, Allen raised the budget of the new movie to a sky-high price of nearly 20 million pounds!

This year's budget of 20 million pounds is only a little less than the budgets of several big-budget Hollywood films.

Touching his chin, he looked at the budgeted expenses on the plan. They seemed a little exaggerated, but as long as there was no high-profile publicity, who would know the details?

But I crammed everything I could from head to toe, and only managed to cram in less than 20 million, so there was no money left.

Allen also wrote down the points that needed attention at the end of the plan.

In terms of publicity, we can arrange another wave at that time and squeeze in some money.

This money is the money obtained from Xiangjiang.

After Wei Yixin's integration, at the end of May, the first phase of investors in the real estate plan had all their funds in place.

A total investment share of 200 million pounds will definitely not be given to them. All investors in the entire Xiangjiang only received a total of 45% of the planned investment share, which is theoretically 90 million pounds.

This adds up to more than a billion Hong Kong dollars, which is nothing to those fat sheep.

The money has now been transferred to a special bank account. After getting the money, Allen bought the land as soon as possible.

The money passed from his left hand to his right hand. What he bought was his own land. It was all planned. The land for building a villa complex in Carmarthen must belong to the Hill family.

This was his first large, reasonable income.

This is much higher than the price paid by those who wanted to take advantage of the situation and blackmail his land.

Using Xiangjiang's funds to come to Carmarthen and increase his economic income as an earl can be regarded as achieving the economic construction he originally mentioned to Charles, right?

Construction Who is not construction?

Allen has already thought about the use of the money from selling the land, and it will be used in less than half a year.

The economic crisis is coming, and when the time comes, use this money to buy goods and bargain-hunt in several industries.

The remaining funds, with the official launch of the real estate plan, will be used as needed, and we must seize the time to do so.

In order to launder the money, Allen increased the budget of the film to an exaggerated level.

If a layman doesn't understand, you can laugh at others for being stupid and having too much money, but it doesn't matter, as long as you get the money.

As a count, you can't be like ordinary producers from the outside world, right?

They make movies for a living, and Allen.

From now on, he can say that he makes movies for hobby and art!

It doesn’t matter how much you spend or how much you lose!

As a "layman" in the film and television industry, it is reasonable to waste tens of millions on a bad movie, right?

This will also make it easier for him to launder money.
