Chapter 206 Chance Encounter

Thinking of the school William is about to go to, the question comes back to the mothballing of the destroyer.

This question is a very systemic one, and Allen didn't know what to say for a while.

When he heard about his going to school, William, who was eating, stopped, tilted his head slightly, and listened.

"Let's go to my study later and talk about it. Where is Patrice? Why haven't I seen him since I came back?"

Allen didn't want to talk to Hu Te about this at the dinner table, mainly because the person involved was still around. In front of William, even if he didn't understand, some plans were hard to talk about.

"Okay, Patrice went to the United States on a business trip. He brought a rough cut of the movie and said yes. Oh, he went to review and rate it."

"Okay, okay, I'm going to clean up first. You can come to me in the study later."

Allen looked at William and Harry who were still eating, said hello, and went upstairs first.

I went to South Korea this time, and I have been there for more than half a month. Now I am finally free. I still have a lot of things to deal with at home.

First of all, the Blue Knight, which Allen is most concerned about, has been open for more than a month.

More than a hundred membership cards were sold around Cardiff.

Although this number seems a bit bleak, it can be considered to be on the right track.

Mainly the people who buy memberships are office workers.

Maybe a company has a card that allows them to order a lot of takeaways at once. Even if colleagues around them find this very convenient, there is no need to repeat the process.

Anyway, Alan is not in a rush, just take your time. The Welsh people have a slow pace of life.

Put down the report about the Blue Knights and look at the report about Huaguo Industries below.

Allen ignored this. He already learned about it when he was in South Korea. The radio production there has begun, and the instant noodles production line is already being debugged. It is estimated that it will be produced by the beginning of next year, or in the second half of the year.

Then there is the trial project of preparing a TV series in Ceylon, the wilderness survival series. It is difficult to find the protagonist. Allen's idea is to choose someone who is more handsome and has better survival ability in the wild.

For such a request, the best source of candidates is among veterans, but it is not the retirement season, so I haven't found one yet.

As for another food show, Allen looked at their plans and felt that this kind of thing could be done by him.

Anyway, if you find a few people who are not well-known, the publicity effect is not as good as if he goes there in person. It just so happens that in the new year, he will go to Cardiff to go to university. When he has nothing to do, he will take the film crew to Cardiff.

Just stroll around, eat and take photos.

After resting well at home for two days, Allen took the initiative to call and invite Duke Angus to come to his home for dinner.

But the old guy actually said he didn't have time and didn't know what he was busy with.

Allen, who was bored, called a few people to go to Cameron's set.

He was very curious about the filming of science fiction movies, mainly because he wanted to know how the junk computers of this era were able to produce the kind of special effects that looked real.

The motorcade left home and headed for the studio in the northern suburbs of Carmarthen Town. As it passed through Carmarthen Town, Alan looked at the lively crowd outside the window and couldn't help but feel curious.

It was originally a small town with tens of thousands of people, and this was not a festival. Why did these unruly people hold a party?

Seeing this, Allen felt a little nervous subconsciously. Could it be that these unscrupulous people were planning to cause trouble?

"Stop the car! Let someone see what's going on over there."

If Allen remembered correctly, there was a shopping street in that direction, and he hadn't been here for many years.

If you have to understand it, this kind of shopping street feels a bit like the farmer's wholesale market in a small county town in the past life. Except that there are not so many vegetable sellers and there are not so many shouts, everything else is pretty much the same.

A few minutes later, the bodyguard who came back from inquiring about the news bent over to the rear window and reported: "Sir, there are some Merlin-themed activities going on over there. It's very lively!"

"Merlin? Oh."

Alan patted his head and almost forgot about this, Merlin, the famous "historical" figure in Great Carmarthenshire!

This fictional legendary magician is said to be King Arthur's best friend and mentor, guiding King Arthur to obtain the King's Sword and unify England.

Alan was very curious before, but later he went to see the famous Merlin Stone.

It's just a big stone on a hill in his family's fiefdom, and there's a small red dragon statue not far away, but nothing else!

It is said that this Merlin Stone is the birthplace of Merlin. In the past, many foreign fans came here to explore the birthplace of this legendary magician.

But this is just like going to a certain beach to find a big rock, and then hoping that it is the rock that Monkey King will pop out of. It is just a legend and a gimmick. Don’t take it seriously!

Anyway, over the years, if the Carmarthens really knew magic, the Hill family would have died eight hundred times a long time ago.

According to the words of a certain Earl of Carmarthen, there is no magic that a cavalry charge cannot solve. If a charge is not enough, then reward him with a cannon. If one cannon is fired, there is no magic that can't be dealt with.

But now, Allen looked at the party in the distance. Not to mention, some people were wearing cloaks and masks, which looked quite similar.

Curiosity arose in his heart, and Allen, who was originally planning to go to the set, planned to go to this so-called Merlin themed party first.

He found a black mask in the armrest box and put it on. There was nothing he could do. If his current image were to go on without concealing it, then this so-called Merlin themed party would not be able to go on.

He had just opened the car door and was about to get out of the car. He stood in the back seat and looked around. Xiao Huang, who came out with Allen, saw that Allen was about to leave but didn't take it with him. He flapped his wings anxiously.

"Okay, okay, I'll take you with me."

Allen grabbed Xiao Huang's bird head and pulled it to his side. He bent his left arm and Xiao Huang jumped twice before standing firmly on Allen's left arm.

"Fuck."

I miscalculated. Now that this thing has grown up, I still want to put it on my arm like it did when I was a child. It's okay for a short time, but it won't work for a long time. It's too heavy!

With his left arm slightly lowered, Allen held Xiao Huang half in his arms, followed by several bodyguards, and slowly approached the gathering crowd.

There was a bald white man in the crowd with colorful face paint and a small torch in his hand. He was obviously very excited when he saw Allen and his group coming over. He raised the torch and took a sip of something.

With a sound, a big fireball was spitted into the sky.

Then he did something fancy in his hand. The torch turned a few times in his hand and then put it down. The bald man looked at Allen expectantly.

Although Allen was wearing a mask, based on his eyesight, he could see that this young man was well-dressed, and there were several strong men following him. He was not easy to mess with at first glance. He was obviously a member of a big family, or even a nobleman.

ah!

As long as you perform well in front of this kind of master, why don't you worry about tips and rewards?

Allen watched happily as the bald man performed several more fireball spitting performances. He held Xiao Huang under his left arm and touched his pocket with his right hand. He didn't usually carry much money with him, so he only packed some fifty pounds notes for emergency use.

, took out one and handed it to the bodyguard, indicating that he would reward it to the bald man.

Walking further, there were people selling crystal balls and wizard hats on the roadside.

There should be a small light installed on the base of this kind of crystal ball. When the switch is turned on, the corresponding pattern will light up in the crystal ball. It looks pretty good, but the manufacturing level is a bit rough.

Allen stood in front of a stall and looked at the tattered pointed wizard hat on the stall. Suddenly, a woman's voice whispered from beside him.

"boss?"

"Um?"

He didn't expect to meet an acquaintance in a place like this. Allen turned his head and looked at the lady in front of him. She looked familiar. After thinking for a long time, he remembered that this was his own screenwriter, who seemed to be named Joanna Rowling.

"Who are you? Rowling? How did you recognize me?"

"Haha, boss, I didn't recognize you until you were wearing it."

There were so many people talking, Rowling shouted tentatively, mainly because Allen was wearing a mask and couldn't see clearly, but the big fat bird he held under his arm was struggling and its big head was moving around.

Discernible.

She might not be able to see Allen every day, but she could always see Xiao Huang wandering around the castle.

Now that I see this bird and the identity of the person holding it next to it, do I still need to guess?

"Haha, it turns out it was Xiao Huang who exposed me. Why are you here?"

Allen took a few steps to the side so as not to disturb others who were setting up stalls to do business.

Rowling tightened her jacket and said, "I heard there is a Merlin-themed event here, and I came here specifically to collect materials today. Boss, haven't you ever considered making a movie about Merlin?"

"Um?"

Allen has really never had this idea.

An N-rate director who has only made online movies before, what he knows about making movies is to make movies that can make money or gain fame. Even if it is not good, he is ready to develop in the direction of science fiction movies. As for fantasy movies like The Magician,

He really hadn't thought about magic movies.

First, this kind of movie is more troublesome to shoot. Small scenes don’t look high-quality, but big scenes are hard to shoot.

Moreover, this kind of subject requires a lot of special effects. In the past two years, he had not figured out how ordinary special effects movies of this era were shot, so how could he consider such a thing.

"This...doesn't it require too many special effects? It's not easy to shoot."

While Ellen was thinking, Rowling looked at Ellen who was wearing a mask. On an October day, the temperature in Wales had already cooled down a bit. Ellen was wearing a long black windbreaker with a satin-like jacket underneath.

A black shirt with a small dark red bow tie tied at the collar.

The lower body is slightly slim-fitting pants and long riding boots, plus the white owl he is holding.

It can be said that even if Allen didn't dress up specially, his current appearance, coupled with the surrounding environment today, really looks like a young mysterious wizard.
