Lu Ming did not expect that Alice would come to the film company with him.
In the eyes of himself, Bizhu and Liuli, Alice is still the little angel. In the eyes of others, Alice is now almost the same as Yoori back then, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old with a face full of freckles. Little chubby girl.
I think Alice also used the form of Yoori to interfere with other people's perception of her.
There are two major film and television centers in the empire, one in the imperial capital and one in the East China Sea. In addition, there is a rising star in the northern region - Xin'an, which is the special zone that used to be the throat of Jiangnan and Jiangbei. Lu Ming was the first to enter Jiangbei, and is now the Red Rose Casino. After they all moved there, a film and television city was built, which was suitable for filming ancient costume films, modern films, etc. in the Northern Region. However, after all, the background was still quite different from that of Donghai and Imperial Capital.
The right bank of the Imperial Capital Shidun River is the New Economic Zone, and the left bank is the Film and Television City, where there are hundreds of large and small film and television entertainment companies.
The largest studio base is owned by Century Pictures.
In fact, in Century Pictures, Lu Ming’s pseudonym also accounts for more than 30% of the shares and is the largest shareholder.
We were worried about triggering the empire’s antitrust laws, so we didn’t take absolute control of Century Pictures.
Nadu Pictures is now too big. Coupled with Century Pictures, which ranks second among film companies, and the huge theater chain it controls, from a legal perspective, it is likely to trigger antitrust laws.
The Kingdom of Han stipulates that film companies must divest themselves from the theater business, which is the "Xin'an Film Industry Law", which is also the anti-monopoly law of the kingdom's film and television industry.
Other confederates were inspired and introduced this law one after another.
However, Donghai and Imperial Capital, where the two major film and television centers are located, will be more cautious about introducing this law, and will have to go through complex hearings to measure whether similar laws will have a fatal blow to the booming local film and television industry, and Pros and cons of long-term direction.
For Shidun Town, where the Empire Film and Television Center is located, this method is more likely to determine its future destiny.
Shidun Town has a population of more than 100,000, almost all of whom work in the film and television industry. There are only a few thousand local aborigines, and the rest are immigrants, many of whom come here with dreams of becoming stars.
Huanyu Entertainment does not have its own studio. When shooting movies, it must rent a studio regularly in advance. The company is a two-story building with a small yard.
Huanyu Entertainment was originally a company that shot low-cost literary films, and the boss was just for his own entertainment. However, because of business problems, he had no money to invest in Huanyu Entertainment, so he sold it.
Lu Ming bought it because he wanted to give it to Nicole.
Because I have seen the artistic films produced by Huanyu Entertainment, the director and screenwriter still have some ideas. Buying this company is actually buying its creative team.
Nicole officially announced her retirement from acting at the beginning of this year. In fact, for movie stars, she is the most charming age, and for women, it is also the most charming and **** age. Moreover, it seems that time has not left her. Despite leaving no trace, he almost still maintains the same state as when he first debuted, but he retired early, which made movie fans around the world sigh.
I talked to Nicole about her retirement life. She wanted to take a good rest for a while, and then work as a producer to make movies that she likes.
Lu Ming first took stock of Huanyu Entertainment and planned to surprise her when the time comes.
The new boss has arrived, as well as the creative team signed by the company, artists with long-term contracts, etc.
Lu Ming vaguely thought of the time when he acquired Nadu Pictures sixteen years ago.
Sixteen years have passed in the blink of an eye, and time has flown by so quickly.
However, when living with Alice, Bizhu, Liuli, etc., time seems to be irrelevant and everything is like eternity.
"Can you accompany me to meet someone?" Alice asked after coming out of the film and television company.
Alice never asked for anything, so Lu Ming nodded immediately: "Of course."
……
St Mary's Church Royal Cemetery, with swaying pines and cypresses and green grass.
Alice's small body sat silently next to a tombstone for a long time.
Lu Ming walked slowly a little further away. The location of the tomb showed that the owner was not an important member of the royal family. The inscription on the tombstone was only a simple name, without much introduction to his life.
But this person is obviously very important to Alice.
Looking at the lonely figure of this little girl, Lu Ming sighed softly in his heart.
This little girl has never been a normal human being. Moreover, she has been preparing to wait for Queen Alice to awaken. By then, it is hard to tell whether she will be an enemy or a friend.
Unexpectedly, it turned out that she also missed someone.
Finally, Alice gently pulled on the snow-white lace skirt and stood up.
"Aunt Dani is the one who has always been with me." Alice said to Lu Ming who came to her side. There was no emotion or joy in her tone.
Lu Ming nodded lightly.
In fact, I have also thought about finding a good friend for Alice, including Bisi, and I have met and talked with Alice, but obviously, good friends cannot be arranged by humans.
While walking, Lu Ming suddenly asked: "Do you want to meet Yuoli? She works in the Imperial Capital."
Alice shook her head slightly.
Lu Ming smiled and said: "I know you are not good friends, but we haven't seen each other for more than ten years. It's normal to meet up for coffee. It's normal for human beings to interact!"
Alice turned to look at Lu Ming and said, "Now, starting from tomorrow, I won't have time."
Lu Ming nodded: "Okay, I'll ask someone to contact her."
Youoli will definitely not leak secrets, and she is not from a spy agency. Unless she specifically wants to betray Alice, there is no way to leak secrets.
What's more, even if Henry II knew that Alice was in the imperial capital, he wouldn't dare to do anything. In today's Northern Territory, he is very afraid of weapons such as nuclear weapons.
……
Euroli is already a professor at Imperial Medical University.
In the private room of the coffee shop, Alice took out a small red stone with strange runes on it. She gently stroked it for a while. Lu Ming was stunned and didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but she turned into Bisi. She looked like a pretty girl in her early twenties, and her clothes were exactly the same as the last time I saw Bisi, a college-style red plaid uniform skirt, knee-length white socks and black leather shoes.
Bis is studying for a doctorate in law, and still likes to dress up as a student in front of herself and her mother.
As for Alice, it was obviously because she wanted to see Yoori, so naturally she could no longer look like Yoori when she was a girl.
Her stone witchcraft seems to be able to affect other people's brain waves, but the person she sees must be someone she has met before.
Looking normally, what I saw was an illusion, but when I concentrated, I could see that Alice was still the seven or eight-year-old little princess.
Outside, Hong Ling's voice came, "Miss Yoori is here."
The door was gently pushed open, and a beautiful young Western woman in her early thirties walked in. Lu Ming was slightly startled, and after looking carefully, he could faintly see the shadow of Youoli. She must have lost her freckles after puberty. , people have lost weight nowadays, but they are very beautiful.
Looking at her, and then at the little girl next to him who had hardly changed at all, Lu Ming couldn't help but feel ripples in his heart when he thought of their first encounter more than ten years ago.
"Ah, Your Majesty, you haven't changed much!" The first thing Youoli saw was Lu Ming.
Lu Ming smiled: "When we met in the East China Sea, did you ever think that I could be the king?"
Youoli was stunned, and chuckled: "Of course I didn't expect it." Seeing that Lawyer Lu back then, His Majesty the King of the Northern Territory is still so approachable, the restraint in his heart gradually disappeared.
Then he saw Alice behind Lu Ming and bowed slightly: "Miss."
Glancing at Lu Ming secretly, there was something in his heart that Youoli didn't dare to say. He never thought that you could kidnap our sacred and noble little princess.
Without any introduction, I knew intuitively that the person behind this guy was Her Royal Highness.
