Chapter Five Hundred and Fifty Eighth You can't find funds to make a movie, what is Li Mengyang's other purpose?
"Lord of the Rings"?!
A smart ban like Salisbury, of course he knew what this is at a glance. It was a set of books, which are very good novels sold now. It is said that the author of this novel is Mark Twain, and now...
This is a set!
A complete set of novels, "Lord of the Rings" has not been completely published, but has been published one by one, and it has only been released in the third one, so this complete set has become very strange.
What does it mean?
But since they gave it to me, let's just read it. Anyway, this novel is said to be very good.
"...I don't have any insinuation in this book. Anyone who says I have insinuated certain countries and ethnic groups is completely slander, ** naked slander! I will be angry!... So, the orcs in this book are definitely not Russians!...The evil spirits in this book are definitely not Germans!..."
This... is the preface, but this preface is very special!
Salisbury's mind is really counted in England. How could he not see the special point of this preface? Now it seems that even if he doesn't want to think from that angle, he will be involuntarily.
Look!
Salisbury opened the book and quickly browsed it...
"Ouch! I understand!"
The so-called "I like reading but don't seek to understand it very much. There is an explanation that people who are good at reading can read very quickly. Salisbury quickly finished reading this set of books. After reading it, he recalled the previous preface. Salisbury really understood it!
"Your Majesty Clint Lee I! Please give me the most sincere respect, your wisdom is definitely ten times better than me..."
The next day, Salisbury was of course going to meet Li Mengyang, but this guy flattered for a long time.
"Hahaha..." Li Mengyang smiled, of course he had to smile, "Mr. Salisbury, have you read that set of books?"
"I read it! And I already understand! Your Majesty wants our British Empire to vigorously promote this book in Europe, right?" Salisbury also guessed.
"This. Sales is of course." To be honest, Li Mengyang was a little impatient at this time, because Salisbury didn't say the point, so Li Mengyang reminded him, "Mr. Salisbury, have you forgotten another thing you've seen before?"
"Another thing?" Salisbury's simple memory, and then he suddenly thought of it. "Is it a movie?"
"Right! Make this book a movie!" Li Mengyang almost said, congratulations, you will all answer...
One of the purposes of Li Mengyang's trip to the UK was actually this. Didn't he say that he wanted to make this "Lord of the Rings" into a movie.
However, the movie has just been born at this time, and the overall technology is not yet mature, which brings a problem, that is, if you want to shoot something, it will definitely be very costly!
This is certain. Even if Li Mengyang doesn’t understand movies, he understands this principle. So, now he still wants to make "Lord of the Rings" into a movie. What should he do?
Align the cost!
To put it bluntly, it's just a kid, a sucker... come in.
This is the easiest and the best way, and there is a goal in front of you. It is the British Empire!
There are naturally many reasons why we seek this British Empire as a sucker, and Li Mengyang is also very sure. The British Empire will definitely be interested.
First of all, the current British Empire, or the future British Empire, will always adhere to that principle, that is, the balance of power on the European continent, and their British people are gloriously isolated.
The main thing we deal with now is the Russians. In fact, it is not that the Russians are so powerful, but that they are too capable.
The Russians are actually very problematic. Their economy is not very good, but they are quite capable in foreign wars. This is so strange, so the British can only deal with this guy first.
In fact, Salisbury certainly knew that there was another guy rising, that is Germany!
You know, Queen Victoria in England is the king, and the monarch of the German Empire is the emperor!
Salisbury knew this and the rise of Germany, but Germany could only be second now because these guys were very good at grasping that degree.
Look, during the French-Prussian War, Prussia had the opportunity to directly defeat France, but Napoleon III had already recognized it, but the German guy retreated and ran away after signing the contract. Is this normal?
Bismarck!
Yes, Salisbury knew that guy, Bismarck, the old guy, was definitely an old fox, and he saw the British strategy!
Bismarck's policy of balanced power in the mainland was very thoroughly seen, so he proposed to stop when he saw it, but he simply didn't want Britain to find an excuse.
In fact, many things in Europe, such as the Anti-French Alliance, were all done by the British behind the scenes.
But no matter what, this effort requires a minimum excuse. You have nothing, so what should I do? If you oppose someone's alliance, you have to be able to pull up this alliance. At least everyone has to think that the guy we oppose is indeed a big bastard, right?
The Germans did a good job, especially Bismarck, who always refused to let Britain seize any opportunity.
So now... If this "Lord of the Rings" can be made into a movie, if this movie can be released in Europe, this... this is a movie!
What a novel thing, it will definitely be seen by countless Europeans!
That's right, Salisbury quickly figured out the truth here. How much attention should such a new thing attract?
And so many people will receive a good education. After watching the movie, they will regard Russians and Germans as big villains!
It must be because the allusion in this novel is so perfect... Well, in fact, this is Li Mengyang's re-creation. He wrote this allusion more obvious, and he also received a lot of help from Jews.
Well, these Jews were also bullied in Germany. Anyway, all Europe is now anti-Semitism. Of course, they are not hesitant to contribute some ideas from black Germans.
Then, that's fine, how great!
The British Empire could not find a good opportunity to build the German Empire, but now someone has helped them, and the effect will be quite good, which is really very good.
But though...
"Great Your Majesty, I really want to ask, what is your real purpose?"
Salisbury asked this question. Obviously this guy seemed to smell something strange.
"Hahaha..." Li Mengyang smiled, and he looked at Salisbury and smiled.
This Salisbury is indeed a smart guy, and it can be said that he is the top smart man in the UK!
Ordinary people will not ask this question, or even if they have this question in their mind, they will not ask it.
Because most people would guess that Li Mengyang is not an ordinary person, and this issue itself is not very important.
Anyway, it would be great to deal with Russians and Germans? And even if you ask, can this guy Li Mengyang tell the truth?
Yes, the key is here, the probability of Li Mengyang telling the truth is not averagely low.
So, how would Li Mengyang answer?
"Mr. Salisbury." Li Mengyang's expression was very solemn at this time, "I know that the alliance between us can be said to be fragile, and we don't have much trust, and I admit that. However, we can put aside the problems between us now, and now we have to face a stronger opponent, we must join hands for the time being. Right?"
This statement, this answer, is really touching, and Salisbury believes it, but he still needs a reason.
"The Russians may have been coveting your country for a long time, but what about the Germans?"
This question is good, and I have grasped the details, but Li Mengyang smiled.
"That Bakuning used to be Russian, but he came to Germany later, right? These guys are not very friendly to us yellow people."
This answer is pretty good, but Salisbury has a good memory.
"Then why should your country give Germany low tariff treatment?"
This matter...Li Mengyang can't tell the truth, but...
"Because in this way, Germany will also give us low tariffs. In addition, because of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, it is inevitable that our empire will cooperate with Germany, just like we are like you."
Salisbury's expression was a bit weird in this answer, but he couldn't do anything about it.
"Great Your Majesty! We will definitely be able to make a good work!"
The movie matter was negotiated like this, and as for who paid how much money... Li Mengyang felt that your British Empire should pay more money, and then we would give more technology. Anyway, we would not suffer any loss.
Li Mengyang took a golden carriage in the UK, which was quite cool. Then he talked about a movie plan. You should know that this matter was definitely the first of mankind. After that, he was not idle. Li Mengyang went to visit the British hospital, especially the obstetrics and gynecology hospital...
Is this a little strange? A man and an emperor, go see someone give birth to a baby?
There is nothing we can do!
Li Mengyang didn't think about it either, but now he has to go!
The reason is very simple, the birth rate is too low at this time!
Let’s talk about the American region of the Pacific Rim Federation. The population is growing now, but the speed is very slow.
Black people, the reproductive ability of those guys... Oh, this word is a bit wrong. It should be said that their abilities, especially the black and hard and sturdy black people, this is simply... Li Mengyang is not envious, he also has a big radish.
However, how many years has it taken for blacks to rise from more than 9 million to more than 15 million?
You know, it is a peaceful era, and the American Civil War has long ended itself.
Chapter completed!
