Lu Ming didn't 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 chubby girl of sixteen or seventeen with a face full of freckles. .
Presumably, 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 is in the Imperial Capital and the other is 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. Now the Red Rose Casino and other places have moved there. In the past, another film and television city was built, which is suitable for filming ancient costume films, modern films, etc. in the northern region. However, after all, the background is 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. There are hundreds of large and small film and television entertainment companies here.
The largest soundstage base is owned by Century Pictures. In fact, Century Pictures, under the pseudonym Lu Ming, also holds more than 30% of the shares and is the largest shareholder.
I was worried about triggering the empire's antitrust laws, so I 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 Han Kingdom 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. They 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, as well as the long-term direction. Pros and cons.
For Shidun Town, where the Empire Film and Television Center is located, this law is more likely to determine its future fate.
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 made low-cost literary films for the boss' own entertainment. However, due to 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 sexy age. Moreover, it seems that time has not left any traces on her body. , almost still maintaining the same status as when it first debuted, but it ended 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 first, 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 came. 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. In the blink of an eye, sixteen years have passed, and time has flown by so fast.
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 had never asked for anything, and Lu Ming nodded immediately: "Of course."... St. Mary's Church Royal Cemetery, with swaying pines and cypresses and green grass.
Alice sat silently beside 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. Seeing the little girl's lonely figure, Lu Ming sighed softly in his heart.
All this time, this little girl has never been a normal human being, and she has been preparing to wait for Queen Alice to wake up. By then, it is hard to say whether she is an enemy or a friend.
But she didn't expect that she also missed someone. Finally, Alice gently pulled on the snow-white lace skirt and stood up.
"Aunt Danni 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 slightly. In fact, I have also thought about finding a good friend for Alice, including Bisi, who has also 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. Human beings have normal interactions!" Alice turned to look at Lu Ming,
"Then 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 the secret, and she is not from a spy agency, unless He specifically wanted to betray Alice, otherwise there would be no way to leak the secret.
What's more, even if Henry II knew that Alice was in the imperial capital, he probably wouldn't dare to do anything. In the Northern Territory today, he would be very afraid of weapons like nuclear weapons.
...Youoli is already a professor at the 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 couldn't laugh or cry, but she turned into Bisi's appearance. A beautiful girl in her early twenties, her clothes were exactly the same as the last time she saw Bisi, a college-style red plaid uniform skirt, knee-length white socks and black leather shoes.
Bisi is studying for a doctorate in law, and still likes to dress like 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.
And 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.
When he looked at it normally, he also saw an illusion scene, but when he concentrated, he could see that Alice was still the seven or eight-year-old little princess.
Outside, Hong Ling's voice came,
"Miss Yooli 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 Yooli. She must have passed. After puberty, the freckles disappeared, and now I have lost weight, but I am very beautiful.
Looking at her, and then at the little girl beside 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, you haven't changed much!" The first thing Yooli 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 you didn't expect it." Seeing Lawyer Lu back then, His Majesty the King of the Northern Territory, is still Being so approachable, the restraint in my heart gradually disappears.
Then he saw Alice behind Lu Ming, and bowed slightly: "Miss." He glanced at Lu Ming secretly, and there was something in his heart that Youoli didn't dare to say, and he never thought that you, a guy like you, could kidnap her. Our sacred and noble little princess, Her Royal Highness.
Without any introduction, I knew intuitively that the person behind this guy was Her Royal Highness.
