The time it takes to make a movie is not long, but it is not short.

The Hollywood blockbuster model is inexhaustible in modern times, with actors, framing, shooting, special effects, publicity, etc. all of which require a lot of manpower and material resources. However, some films can be shot in just a few months, and even if Hong Kong films were in the golden age in the eighties and nineties, mainstream Hong Kong films can be screened directly after three months.

The filming workload of "The Count of Monte Cristo" cannot be said to be less, it is the same level as Hollywood period dramas, fortunately, the conditions are basically the right time and place, and three-fifths of the novel plot was filmed in more than two months, and it is expected that it will take more than a month to complete the shooting, and this more than one month is counted in the publicity.

Based on the condition that Harvey sacrificed a lot of sleep time, everything was arranged in an orderly manner, Harvey deliberately upgraded the skill of [Star Field Meditation] to A-level, and with the blessing of double A in proficiency and skill level, his extraordinary mental power can become lively in one hour of meditation a day, deal with the special effects of the film of "The Count of Monte Cristo" and have leisure to write novels.

In the evening, at Cromwell Manor, William was having dinner with his father, and the rectangular table nearly ten meters long was occupied only by food and copper candlesticks, all of which were affordable for the upper class, a vegetable broth, a grilled steak charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and a delicate cream toast and fruit salad.

Don, the owner of the Cromwell Chamber of Commerce, put down the dishes, looked at William, who looked tired, and asked curiously, "William, how are you doing?" ”

Every time William returned to the manor, he looked exhausted, but he seemed to be enjoying himself.

William was cutting beef with a silver dinner knife, and when he heard this, he put down the knife, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and frowned in response: "Which one." ”

"Every aspect."

William's expression became complicated, and he held back a sentence for a long time: "It's not bad." ”

"Shocking the whole kingdom, even if Norton's social world is a topic that everyone knows about in your mouth, isn't it just not bad?"

"Why ask me if you know."

"How is Harvey Adrian? I heard that he played the role of the Count of Monte Cristo in that so-called "Phantom", did it change your opinion of him? ”

William shook his head, his expression becoming solemn: "I admit that my previous evaluation of him was biased······ Forget it, don't talk about it, but if I can, I want Diana to marry him as soon as possible. ”

"Why?"

"I can get Diana to inherit fifty percent of the property rights of the Chamber of Commerce as her dowry."

At this time, Tang En was shaken, and he couldn't understand his son's thoughts, and asked slowly, "You should know what you're talking about." ”

William leaned back in his chair and put his hands on the table and closed: "Father, we all underestimated the impact of "Phantom", I can guarantee that in a few years, five percent of the shares of Phantom Film and Television Entertainment Co., Ltd. will be worth more than the Cromwell Chamber of Commerce, Harvey has this ability. ”

Tang En's face was solemn: "William, you should know that a qualified businessman would not make such a dangerous investment. ”

William went on to say, "Unless there is certainty of victory." ”

"What you see in Harvey is so worthy of your recognition."

"Out of place."

"Why do you say that?"

William shook his head as he reflected on his observations when working with Harvey: "He is out of place with the people around him, including me, and he is more like Diana, but he has so many things in him that Diana doesn't have, and I wonder if he is Harvey Adrian at all, and if he is, then he would not have been unknown before, let alone his reputation in the social world, and his future will not be limited to the kingdom." ”

"You should know that Harvey also gave Diana the same shares."

There was a thorn in William's words: "Diana will not refuse, even if she has these wealth, she has no reason to refuse, in a sense, she and Harvey are really a natural pair, which is enviable." ”

William knows his sister Diana better than his father, because he has been watching Diana behind his back since he was a child, smarter than ordinary people, knows what he wants, she does not have the naivety of girls of the same age, does not fantasize about the appearance of the so-called Prince Charming, she has feelings but will not be rash, everything likes to be deliberate before making decisions, until the death of their mothers, all he heard from his mother's mouth was praise for Diana, this perfection disgusted William, who had always seemed unknown.

William couldn't even imagine what kind of man Diana would like, and Diana had no reason to turn down a marriage to Harvey, just as she would make no secret of her talent.

"Mr. Evan, then this matter is decided, and I will send patrol police to help maintain order when the time comes, thank you very much for your contribution to the city of Elroy with Mr. Adrian."

"You're welcome, Earl, this is what a citizen of Elroy should do." Jared stood up, smiled and shook hands with the elderly mayor in front of him, and a closer look reveals that he looked excited.

Count Elroy, the mayor of Elroy City, he was not even qualified to meet in the past, but now the two can talk and laugh in the same place.

The two negotiated a free screening of "The Count of Monte Cristo" in the downtown square, which was Harvey's decision, and now that Phantom has only three theaters in the city of Elroy, it is foreseeable that "The Count of Monte Cristo" will be full of popularity after it is played. The decision was made in order to continue to expand the influence of the Count of Monte Cristo film and to benefit the residents of the city of Elroy.

It will definitely have an impact on box office revenue, but the people who can afford phantom tickets are basically aristocrats and wealthy businessmen with status, and they will not queue up to watch a film in the open square for free.

This decision has to do with a triple-A game that Harvey played on Earth, and at that time he admired the game production company that was named after the Polish stupid donkey.

Jared is now proud, thankful for the decisive decision he made a few months ago to sever his ties with the El family and acquire all the property rights to the theater. Now his personal influence in the social world has risen to the top level in the city in a short time, and the nobles and businessmen who had nothing to do with him will take the initiative to talk to him, and those relatives who are sarcastic and alienated from him have repeatedly visited him to apologize, saying that they are willing to give him all the inheritance of the El family's property, as long as he is willing to give him a little share of the Phantom Company, of course Jared will not give these relatives a good face, except for the occasional return to see his father, he has nothing to do with the Evan family.

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

Coming out of the city office, Jared hurried back to the theater to arrange his itinerary for the next week.
