Chapter 354 He Should Be a Minister

"Let's make an agreement first. After visiting your sister, I will report to the Indian Affairs Department." Alan Wilson looked businesslike, ready to dedicate his life to the British Empire.

Expressing his children's personal relationship should not hinder him from reporting. He completely ignored the fact that he had no time to chat nervously with Ali Khan's housekeeper before. He even wanted to keep Ali Khan to stay for a meal.

"I got it, don't always act like you're busier than the Prime Minister." Pamela Mountbatten pouted, "It's been a long time since you returned home, but you still feel like you've been wound up. Aren't you tired?"

"The future of the British Empire inspires me. You are a woman and you don't understand." Alan Wilson stated his life's pursuit righteously. One, girl! Two, key government!

Other than that, everything is fleeting. In his eyes, money is just a by-product of the extension of power, which is completely opposite to the view of most civil servants.

The vast majority of officials in Western countries believe that the final vesting of power is that they have the right to use it and it will not be invalidated after it expires. After retirement, why don't you become an honorary consultant or a shareholder, or publish a memoir or something in exchange for money?

But he is an Oriental, and money can never be compared with power in his mind. This idea is deeply ingrained and cannot be changed. Furthermore, he had already achieved financial freedom as early as British India.

Therefore, Alan Wilson can use all the means to get the money and just give it away as soon as it passes through his hands. Whether it was a gift to the Dragoons or a British treasure, I never felt bad in my heart.

What happened to Pamela Mountbatten's mother, who conquered Mountbatten with a big worker, would never happen to him. On the contrary, he used the same method to take down Pamela.

"I really don't understand why you are so greedy in British India because you don't value money at all." Pamela Mountbatten was very surprised. She had seen her fiancé's corruption methods, but she really didn't value money.

"I was looking for the feeling of having great power, not money. And corruption is to give you a sufficient material foundation, not that I need the money." Alan Wilson added at this point, "That money I didn’t spend a penny more.”

Although Alan Wilson looked serious, Pamela Mountbatten was pleased with herself and said in a pretentious manner, "You can't do that in China. I don't care about money very much."

"Oh!" Alan Wilson looked at the girl's eyes that were almost filled with gold coins. He believed this lie for the time being. Since she said she didn't care about money, then she didn't... she cared about money.

Pamela's sister, Patricia;

She is the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Mountbatten, five years older than Pamela Mountbatten. The file age of Alan Wilson is the same number of years.

Because of their father's social status and mother's wealth, the two sisters had no worries about food and clothing since childhood. In this environment, the relationship between the two sisters was also quite good. As soon as Pamela, who had just returned from New Delhi, came to the door, the two sisters could not stop chatting.

Patricia listened to her sister talk about the experience of British India, and took time to entertain Alan Wilson, "Alan, Pamela always mentioned you when she was in London. This time you two are finally back together."

"There is nothing to mention. The main thing is that he is always clinging to me." Pamela Mountbatten corrected with a blush on her face.

Compared to the two warm-hearted sisters, it is very awkward for Ellen Wilson and Patricia's husband John Brabourne to look at each other. There is no doubt that Ellen Wilson is best at bonding, but bonding is The side effects are very obvious, and they are often equated with bragging. He can't brag on the first meeting.

"Actually, I have always been interested in being a producer." After several rounds of interviews, John Brabourne talked about his hobbies and has always been interested in the film industry.

Finally, the two broke away from the perfunctory conversation. Ellen Wilson had at least received a group of Hollywood actresses living and working in British India. Although she didn't fully understand them, it was enough to vaguely understand them.

What he didn't know was that John Brabourne was really not a fan and would have adapted Murder on the Orient Express twenty years later and won an Oscar.

In early 1973, Agatha, already the "Queen of Mystery Novels", suddenly received a strange phone call. "My name is John Brabourne, and I want to make a movie out of Murder on the Orient Express."

Said the other end of the phone. Agatha was a little surprised. She was eighty-three years old and had lived in Wallingford for most of her life, forty miles away from London. All adaptation matters were handled by her agent.

John Brabourne personally called to promote the film, and "Murder on the Orient Express" was adapted into a film for the first time. This film was regarded by Agatha, who was still alive at the time, as one that she was very satisfied with. adaptation.

The movie also stars Ingrid Bergman, who is almost 60 years old, but Alan Wilson doesn't know that.

Alan Wilson can be called a professional, but he said that the growth of the film industry still depends on the market. Simply put, the formation of a market means a large population and a large area.

This point cannot be surpassed by the United States in a short period of time unless market integration can be carried out within Europe.

This was not entirely bragging, so John Brabourne did not refute it. Instead, he quite agreed with Alan Wilson's view, but also pointed out that movies also need the support of cultural heritage, and European countries still have advantages.

"This is temporary. We still need to find ways to integrate the European market." Alan Wilson still reserves his opinion.

Just like during the Cold War, the largest market for movie box office was the United States, but the second largest market was the Soviet Union. Although the market cannot determine everything, it can also determine many things.

John Brabourn's statement is actually like Hong Kong filmmakers not being afraid of The Godfather, but as soon as Jurassic Park came out, Hong Kong movies were completely wiped out.

The Godfather is certainly a very classic movie, but for a movie like The Godfather, as long as you calm down and carefully polish the script, filmmakers from other countries will not be too bad. But with the emergence of Jurassic Park and Titanic, filmmakers from other countries are really Unable to resist.

Since the emergence of Jurassic Park and Terminator movies, the overseas income of Hollywood movies has officially exceeded the income in North America, and it has begun to conquer cities and territories around the world, killing movies from other countries.

Japanese movies in the 21st century are actually not on the same level as Japanese movies at their peak. After all, the American film market is the largest, and naturally it is the most daring to use new technologies with huge costs.

This kind of cost is unaffordable for filmmakers from other countries. Once the new technology is successfully used, films from other countries that can compete with The Godfather will naturally not be Hollywood rivals with special effects.

However, new technologies will also bring consequences. The number of classics produced by Hollywood, which is fully staffed by Marvel, is obviously not as good as those carefully polished movies in the era without new technologies.

However, it is not a problem of a particular country. Alan Wilson feels that Chinese low-budget films in the new century are not as good as old films such as Meishan Strange Case and 405 Murder Case in the 1960s and 1970s.

Although the two did not reach a consensus, they finally got rid of the previous embarrassment and had some conversation.

It's just that John Brabourne thinks Hollywood is just like that, just in bigger batches. Larger batches also mean more defective products. British films can compete with American films with high-quality films.

"That's right." For the sake of John Brabourne being Pamela's brother-in-law, Alan Wilson outwardly expressed his approval, but silently said "throw coins" in his heart, completing the friendly meeting.

Overall, although there was no consensus at this meeting, it was still very successful from a family perspective.

Pamela and Patricia saw their husbands chatting very enthusiastically, and they were also happy from the bottom of their hearts. They were happy that their sisters had found a life partner.

It wasn't until after dinner that Alan and Wilson bid farewell to Patricia and his wife, bidding each other farewell and completing this reunion.

"What do you think of my brother-in-law?" After the two of them started their car and left, Patricia asked her husband what he thought of Alan Wilson.

"I think he should be a minister." John Brabourn thought for a moment and said, "Looking at his endless chatter, it's like those politicians are campaigning."

Pamela Mountbatten, who was sitting in the passenger seat, looked to Alan Wilson and asked what impression she had of Patricia and John Brabourne and how they got along.

"I have met your sister. I went to your house and met your mother and sister when I was transferred back to Europe." Alan Wilson paused before continuing, "As for John Brabourne, he You should consider becoming a minister.”

"Can someone like him still be a minister?" Pamela Mountbatten was a little shocked. Why didn't she realize that John Brabourne still had the talent to lead the British Empire?

"With all due respect, I really can't think of a job more suitable for him than minister." Alan Wilson took a deep look at Pamela Mountbatten and said solemnly, "Only by being a minister can you benefit society."

"If he can be a minister, you must at least be a prime minister." Pamela Mountbatten then began to comfort her fiancé.

Who are you scolding? If he wasn't driving, Alan Wilson would have reached out and slapped Pamela Mountbatten on the ass.

After meeting with Patricia and his wife, Alan Wilson and his wife finished their vacation at that time and started to work on some things. The matter of registering an exploration company is obviously more suitable for Pamela Mountbatten, the daughter of the great hero Long Aotian.

As for Alan Wilson, a loyal and honest imperial civil servant, he naturally packed up and prepared to report to the Department of Indian Affairs. He should go quickly. I don’t know when it was withdrawn.
