Chapter 126

The time needed to make a film is not long, not short.

Hollywood blockbuster mode can't be finished in a few years. Actors, shooting, shooting, special effects, publicity and so on all need a lot of manpower and material resources. However, some films can be finished in just a few months. A typical Hong Kong film, which was in the golden age in the 1980s and 1990s, can be shown directly after being finished in three months.

The shooting workload of count of Monte Cristo can't be said to be small. It's the same level as the Hollywood era drama. Fortunately, the conditions are basically favorable. Three fifths of the plot of the novel can be finished in more than two months. It's expected that it will take more than one month to complete the shooting. This more than one month's time is also included in the publicity.

Based on Harvey's sacrifice of a lot of sleep time, all the arrangements are in good order. Harvey specially upgraded the skill of "star meditation" to A-level. With the double-A blessing of proficiency and skill level, his extraordinary mental power can become lively after meditating for one hour a day, dealing with the special effects of "count of Monte Cristo" and writing novels in his spare time.

At night, at Cromwell manor, William is having dinner with his father. There is a rectangular table nearly ten meters long. Only two people have food and copper candlesticks in their seats. They are all things that the upper class can afford. They are a vegetable broth, a roast steak with a burnt outside and tender inside, a refined cream toast and fruit salad.

Donne, the owner of Cromwell chamber of Commerce, put down the tableware, looked at William with a tired look and asked curiously, "William, how are you doing?"

Every time William returned to the manor, he looked exhausted, but he seemed to enjoy it.

William is using a silver knife to cut beef. Wen Yan puts down the knife, wipes his mouth with a napkin and frowns in response: "which way?"

"Everything."

William's face became complicated, and for a long time he said, "it's not bad."

"Shock the whole kingdom, even if Norton's society is a topic that no one knows, it's just not bad in your mouth."

"If you know, why ask me."

"How about Harvey Adrian? I heard that he played the role of the count of Monte Cristo in the so-called "phantom". Did you change your view of him

William shook his head, his face became solemn: "I admit that I have been biased in his evaluation before... Forget it, I just hope Diana will marry him as soon as possible if I can."

"Why."

"I can make Diana inherit 50% of the property of the chamber of Commerce as her dowry."

Now Donne was shaken. He could not understand his son's idea. He asked slowly, "you should know what you are talking about."

William leaned back on his chair, put his hands on the table and closed: "father, we all underestimated the influence of" mirage ". I can guarantee that in a few years, 5% of mirage Entertainment Co., Ltd. will be worth more than Cromwell chamber of Commerce. Harvey has this ability."

Don't look grave: "William, you should know that a qualified businessman would not make such a dangerous investment."

William went on with his words: "unless there is a certainty of victory."

"What you see in Harvey is so positive."

"Out of place."

"Why do you say that?"

Looking back on his observations when he worked with Harvey, William shook his head and said, "he is out of tune with the people around him, including me. What he wants to say is more like Diana, but he has too many things that Diana doesn't have. I even doubt whether he is Harvey Adrian or not. If he is, he can't be anonymous before, Not to mention his reputation in society, his future will not be limited to the kingdom. "

"You should know Harvey gave Diana the same share."

William's words are thorny: "Diana will not refuse, even if she has these wealth, she has no reason to refuse, in a sense, she and Harvey are a perfect match, enviable."

William knows his sister Diana better than his father, because he has been looking at Diana since he was a child. He is more intelligent than ordinary people and knows what he wants. She is not as naive as a girl of the same age. She doesn't dream of the so-called prince charming appearing. She has feelings but doesn't get excited. She likes to think about everything carefully before making decisions, Until the death of their mother, he heard from his mother's mouth is all praise for Diana, this perfect has been the unknown William disgust.

William could not even imagine what kind of men Diana would like. Diana had no reason to refuse to marry Harvey, just as she would not hide her talent.

"Mr. Evan, then it's up to you. I'll send patrolmen to help maintain order. Thank you and Mr. Adrian for their contribution to the city of Elroy."

"Don't mention it, count. That's what a citizen of Elroy should do." Jared stands up, smiles and shakes hands with the mayor in front of him who is going to be old. If you look carefully, you will find that he looks excited.

Earl Elroy, mayor of Elroy, was not qualified to meet before, but now they can talk and laugh in the same place.

Harvey decided that the two of them would play the film "count of Monte Cristo" for free in the central square. Now mirage has only three cinemas in Elroy. We can see the scene of "count of Monte Cristo" full of popularity after it is played. In order to continue to expand the influence of the film "count of Monte Cristo" and give benefits to the residents of Elroy, this decision was made.

It will certainly have an impact on the box office revenue, but the people who can afford the mirage tickets are basically aristocrats and rich businessmen with status. They will not queue up in the open-air square to watch movies for free.

This decision has something to do with a 3A level game Harvey played on earth. At that time, he admired the game production company named as polish donkey.

Jared is now very proud of the decisive decision he made a few months ago to sever his ties with the El family and acquire all the property rights of the theater. Now his personal influence in society has risen to the top level in the city in a short period of time. The nobles and businessmen who once had nothing to do with him would take the initiative to talk with him. Those sarcastic and alienated relatives would visit him and apologize, saying that they were willing to give him all the inheritance rights of the El family, as long as he was willing to give up a little of his shares in Mirage company, Jared, of course, won't give these relatives a good look. He has nothing to do with the Evans family except to go back to see his father once in a while.

He felt that the only pity was that the theater was so busy that he didn't even have time to find a beautiful lady to spend a romantic night with.

Coming out of the city government office, Jared hurried back to the theater to make arrangements for the next week.
