Chapter 963 – Father’s kindness and son’s filial piety

With this wave of epic movie trend, Fei Wenli’s United American Pictures was not exempted and was looking for a script.

As the man behind the Great British Treasure, Alan Wilson couldn’t help but give advice after listening to it, “I’ll give you a script, just find someone to do the filming at that time, it can show the exotic flavor, Britain used to have a character who made an important contribution to the independence of the Arab region during the World War I period, and the filming of it can also enhance Britain’s influence. ”

Lawrence of Arabia”, a movie he has seen, the movie prototype taken from a real person Thomas Edward Lawrence. He was the hero who led the Arab independence from the Ottoman Empire in the First World War.

Lawrence’s original specialty was archaeology, but the brass valued his linguistic skills and knowledge of geography and assigned him to British Army Intelligence in the Middle East. The British supported the Arab independence movement in order to attack Turkey, which was allied with Germany.

Lawrence had dealings with the powerful Arab Faisal I and led guerrilla forces against the Ottoman Empire.

However, Allen Wilson also said that making this epic movie does not mean that he is bullish on the genre, “Epic movies have been going on for a few years now, with more and more money being invested in the movies, and it’s like an arms race for a few of the major studios. All it takes is for one movie to roll over and it’s enough to change the landscape of Hollywood. Once a company has business difficulties, you must seize the opportunity, after all, there aren’t many of them.”

Just as the stock market must have an avalanche when there is a high, the so-called accumulation can be applied among any field, artificially delaying the bubble will only blow the already large bubble, even larger.

If only one player exists, the big deal is to stay put, but if there are other players, you do not burst the bubble, others will not necessarily be patient.

This was the first time David had seen his father plan his mother’s career with confidence and was thus impressed.

He’d seen it before of course, in fact he was sort of the kid who got to see Alan Wilson on a regular basis, he just hadn’t been impressed before, nowhere near as much as he was this time.

His mother, who was usually majestic at times and loving at others, only looked like an obedient baby in front of his father. It also made young David want to get to know his somewhat unfamiliar father very much, and had many questions to ask.

“After you finish elementary school, you will enter a general public school for one year. Don’t reveal that you have studied in a private school though, live up close and personal with the average British citizen for a while so you can understand what they are usually thinking.”

Despite being an illegitimate child, Alan Wilson was still quite attached to the son of a national treasure, and scum had to be scummy and bright.

So he wouldn’t be fit to be a Bond deep behind enemy lines, likely to fall into the enemy’s peach trap, it’s not like he hasn’t fallen into it before.

“Why?” David, although he understands things early, after all, his age is not yet big, lack of experience.

Alan Wilson did so for this reason, “You lack experience, although the private school system and the public school system, are two parallel societies that will not intersect. But not being in contact with the public is pretty scary; you don’t know everything about them if you don’t know what they want. At the same time keeping a certain range of contacts promotes misuse for you personally.”

“Since over ninety percent of the UK is public school, why don’t you roll out public teaching across the board and improve the quality of it?” David asked the question that did not seem to be asked at his age.

The question surprised even the Permanent Secretary of the Foreign Office, who looked at his son with amusement and said, “That’s a poignant question. If you were a civil servant, I would conclude that you have a radical leftist mindset. The judgment did not come from a reliable person. But since you asked, I can answer the question, there are many countries in this world where a comprehensive public education system exists and is quite strong, not as strong as the one you are receiving now, but far superior to the current public education in the UK.”

“That Soviet education system would have greatly enhanced the power of the country, but the world needs some of its people to sweep the streets, work as lumberjacks, go down the shafts as miners, and do the jobs that most people actually don’t want to do. It’s a very real problem, do you let so many talented people who have learned to do these jobs? Don’t buy into the labor is the most glorious crap, can’t say that about everyone, but the vast majority of people enjoy a good life, it’s just that at different stages of life there are trade-offs that have to be made about it.”

“David, you do have a choice, public school kids don’t, and private schools exist for a reason. A big part of it is to identify you from an early age. It’s essential that children from powerful families not be in the middle of an environment with children from commoners. By not being in contact with them, they won’t be able to compare.”

Take the protagonist of Madame Bovary, who as a young girl develops a hazy fondness for high society in the midst of aristocratic literature, but the literal attraction doesn’t give the protagonist unrealistic fantasies, and she eventually becomes Madame Bovary.

Things wouldn’t have gone wrong up to that point, but it was the occasion of an aristocratic banquet that allowed her, who had already become Madame Bovary, to see for herself how the aristocracy lived, which is quite different from the dry, literal attraction.

From that point on, Madame Bovary spent her life trying to squeeze into high society, but was unable to succeed.

“Not letting the general public know of your existence is a protection for them, and for the country, we need a broad and ignorant class for the stability of the country.” Alan Wilson stroked his son’s hair and said, “Read the book Madame Bovary in your free time, you’ll get a lot out of it when you understand it. The French are still quite good at literature.”

From the upper class, in fact, a class of people will have their own values, they will covet the beauty of the lower class women, but it’s all just for fun, in order to maintain their status, the reality is that there are ordinary people have how many chances to have face-to-face contact with the stars and tycoons?

Private education and public education do not contact each other, very suitable for the current British situation.

Fei Wenli sat on the side, as elf-like eyes, full of joy to watch the father and son’s conversation, a serious speak a serious listen, may be the son is not quite understand his father’s words, but this scene has been enough to let the great British treasure comfort.

“You are not afraid that the child does not understand, such a young age to talk about such a profound problem.” Vivienne beamed, chiding in style, eyeing what her son was pondering and opening up to counting on the man who was on equal footing with her husband.

“David might not be a genius, geniuses always have a different trajectory. It’s also good to see how receptive it is.” Alan Wilson gave a big wave of his hand and told the Great British Treasure to leave the two men, who were entering a father-son state, alone.

“I can’t talk to you, you bad thing, just have words for me.” Vivien Leigh gave the man a blank look, this rare family harmony also put her in a particularly good mood today.

Seeing that the night was approaching, Vivien Leigh was thinking about how to express her desire to be a rocket a little more politely, to sidetrack her son.

David had risen first, “Mother, it’s time for me to rest and return to school tomorrow.”

The Great British Treasure, looking better after a day’s interval, with all her hostility gone and radiant, sent her son back to school. Subsequently energetic contact United States and Paris Woodpecker, to jointly create “Lawrence of Arabia” this epic movie.

Ministry of Foreign Affairs headquarters building, the permanent undersecretary of the office of the mountain of official documents let in Dixon, almost can not find the top in what place, a hand from the mountain of official documents from the outstretched, to the corner of the desk a finger, “to the Egyptian Navy on the need to prove that it has to protect the security of the Suez Yun Canal to the Foreign Minister to respond to the conditions, to focus on the development of naval power powerful cycles as a means of emphasizing the importance of the Suez Canal to all of Europe.”

“The visionary aspiration is that the Egyptian Navy in ten years’ time, skilled in the use of aircraft carriers in its hands, will be an important force in maintaining the security of the Suez Canal all the time, and this is the document endorsed on the side of the Ministry of Defense.”

“I see, Sir Wilson.” Dixon directly picked up the document in the corner of the table and glanced at it, then left the office.

Accompanied by a phone ringing, Alan Wilson behind the mountain of briefs picked up the phone, “The French cultural exchange delegation has arrived, well, receive them according to the schedule, I’ll go over a little later.”

After putting down the phone, Allen Wilson picked it up again a moment later, “Pick up the Ministry of the Interior and inform about several conditions for seeking the support of the Ministry of the Interior regarding overseas assets and overseas construction. Not today, I’m hosting a French cultural delegation.”

“The Ministry of Defense has asked the Foreign Office to focus on Khrushchev’s state visit? I’m sorry, Great Britain has no formal diplomatic relations with China and there is little that can be pried into, but consider borrowing the Xiangjiang location, it might be useful.”

“Whitehall asked me to make a trip? The Cabinet Secretary? I’ll be right there ……”

It had been another busy day for Alan Wilson, who had found that the French seemed to be more difficult to reach since de Gaulle had come to power, so the world was sometimes a map gun for a reason.

But for the sake of the representatives of French culture, Ms. Hedy Lamarr and Ms. Ingrid Bergman, he could get away with not talking to the French.

Who made him a de facto pro-European, especially one who liked to be pro-Ingrid Bergman.

“The French copied my idea, that’s intolerable, you’re smothering me ……,” Alan Wilson protested defiantly in the face of Ingrid Bergman’s pressure.

“Hee hee, I really should film this scene to see how a permanent undersecretary at the British Foreign Office receives members of the French cultural community.” Hedy Lamarr’s smile was full of meaning, “It would probably cause a stir.”
