British 1986

Patrice was a little embarrassed. He could even arrange his family's work, so he just followed the Earl, and now he asked Butler Hut to do these things.

"No, no, Sir, just help me arrange a place to live. Do I need to resign from my school?"

Although he had a certain understanding of the nobility, Patrice found that some of his previous perceptions of the nobility seemed to be a little biased. Now he was not sure about it, so he could only ask the professionals in front of him.

"No! Remember, you have your own things to do, so just do it. The young master will only call you when he needs care. You can usually go back to the manor or your own home, but you need to report every week. Prepare."

"in addition."

Huth made a gesture to signal Patrice to follow him, and took out a black card from the wallet in his arms and handed it to Patrice.

"You take this card. This is not a bank card. It has my information and the logo of the Hill family on it. If you encounter trouble outside in the future, or there is a problem you can't solve, just show this card and report it to you. Just the name and position are enough, and they can be used throughout the Commonwealth."

Patrice took the card in a daze. The black card was covered with strange golden patterns. It looked extremely delicate, a bit like a bank's magnetic card. But as Butler Hu Te said, this was not a bank card. It was a card. On the front is an overall topographic map of Carmarthenshire with a huge crest of the Hill family in the middle, very domineering!

The row of letters below roughly means "exemption card".

Simple and crude.

On the back of the card was printed Hut's information in detail, his position was housekeeper to the Earl of Carmarthen of the Hill family, and there was also a landline phone number.

Anyone who holds this card, within the entire Commonwealth, as long as something happens, even if someone kills someone, the police only have the right to inquire, not to deal with it, and they must contact Hu Te as soon as they see this card. Ministry of Stewardship and Nobility.

It's a bit like beating a dog depends on the owner's intention.

Patrice, who saw this kind of thing for the first time, took the card and looked at it repeatedly. This was just a card issued by the butler, and it had such a function.

What if it was Butler Hu Te himself?

Not only is he a butler, he is also a knight. What kind of cards will he use?

Even the count?

This was a bit beyond his cognition and could not be imagined at all.

But to sum up everything, this is the power of the nobles. They seem to be very low-key and cannot participate in some modern government affairs. But can ordinary people imagine that they receive preferential treatment everywhere?

They can't even see it!

I visited my office and rest room, and had dinner in the cafeteria.

Patrice couldn't wait to see Allen again.

He wanted to quickly show off his abilities.

I followed the maid all the way to the physiotherapy room on the second floor and opened the door.

There was a piano placed at the entrance, and a tape recorder was placed on the piano. Soothing music was playing on the tape recorder.

Further inside, on a massage table, Allen was lying face down on the bed, and a physical therapist was massaging his back.

"Master.?"

"Um?"

Allen slowly raised his head. Today's masseuse was a little too strong, making him grin. When he saw Patrice's cautious call, he pointed to the sofa closest to him and motioned for him to sit down.

"Press my spine, gently, uh-huh, just this strength. What's wrong, Patrice?"

Allen adjusted his posture slightly and lay face sideways.

"Master, I just reviewed the movie again and I have some immature suggestions that I need to report to you."

"Well, tell me!"

Patrice looked at Allen, then at the physical therapist, then gently moved the single sofa forward, closer to the massage table, then took out his notebook and asked tentatively: "Master What was your purpose in making this movie? For box office? Or..."

"Hunt hasn't told you yet?"

"No"

Allen opened his eyes slightly and glanced at Patrice, who was sitting very close.

"For a certain degree of fame, of course making money is also the purpose, and there are some other small reasons. When Syphis comes over in the next few days, he will explain it to you in detail. In short, in our movie, you can't just treat it as a male. Instead of looking at it from a female perspective, we need to change our thinking and look at it from a female perspective.”

"understand!"

Seeing Allen closing his eyes again and enjoying the massage, Patrice gritted his teeth and said: "Master, in fact, if you want to make money at the box office, our movie is not very hopeful. The best result is just profit, but The box office profit won’t be too much. From a purely profit perspective, if you want to continue developing in this direction in the future, you might as well get into the subject matter of subsidized films.”

"?"

Allen, who had just closed his eyes, became a little more interested.

I heard a new word for the first time today, subsidy film?

What kind of subsidy is this?

Seeing the doubt in Allen's eyes, Patrice breathed a sigh of relief. As the count's personal advisor, he wanted to quickly demonstrate his abilities.

"Master, the so-called subsidized films are the names within the Film and Television Association and the Publicity Department. Ordinary directors have no access to them, but with your status, not only can you have access to them, you can even apply for the largest subsidy! For example, all production expenses may be reimbursed, or even part of the box office may be covered.”

"oh?"

When Allen heard this, he was completely interested. He adjusted his posture slightly, put his left hand under his chest, raised his upper body, lay down slightly, looked at Patrice and asked: "The production fee of millions of pounds can also be reimbursed. ?!”

"Yes! Anyone higher than this can do it!"

Patrice nodded firmly.

"Elaborate! Is it too late to apply for our movie?"

The production costs of version A and version B have now reached more than 1.1 million pounds. It's not that Allen doesn't save money, but that he has made two movies. He can compress the cost to this extent, which is already considered a success. Not bad!

In addition, the newly formed team has little experience, and some money has been spent in some places. Calculating it piecemeal, he now only has a few hundred thousand pounds of working capital on hand.

Now it is the first time I heard that this thing can be reimbursed, so of course I am interested.

"Well, I guess this movie won't be able to apply. Subsidy films are applied for before the project is approved, and they are never applied until the filming is completed."

"."

After hearing that the film could not be applied for, Allen seemed to have lost interest. He reached out to the plate in front of him, picked up a strawberry and stuffed it into his mouth. He put down his left hand that was resting on his chest and lay down again.

"Tell me about this kind of subsidy, how does it work?"

Although it was not possible to use it this time, which made Allen a little disappointed, but after understanding it, it would be fine to use it next time.

Patrice frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "Let me give you an example. Master, do you know Xiangjiang?"

"where?"

"Xiangjiang! From the Chinese side."
