v1 Chapter 372: common market consensus

"But there is no doubt that the British Empire has a leadership role in Europe at present, and if we evade this responsibility to lead Europe, then the leading country in Europe will become France."

Alan Wilson paused when he said this, "Maybe there will be Germany in the next few decades. Only by actively participating can this organization develop in the direction we want. If we are excluded, then as a The disadvantage of an island nation will be magnified."

"If we take the initiative to join, our advantages are still very large, especially in the fields of steel and coal, whether it is an advantage for France or Germany."

Alan Wilson is not lying, what is the basis for the union of the European Community in history? The union of steel and coal in Europe caused Germany and France to argue over the ownership of coal and iron resources on the border, coal and iron. At the junction of France and Germany, two world wars were fought here, and the competition for economic interests was huge.

One of the four largest coal mines in Europe is in the Ruhr area of ​​Germany, and one of the four largest iron mines in Europe is in Lorraine, France. Coal and iron were symbols of the industrial age, and either France or Germany could dominate the European economy by conquering the other.

The United Kingdom owns the four largest coal mines and the four largest iron mines in Europe at the same time. Unlike Germany and France, the lack of one of the coal and iron is not enough. The United Kingdom has both resources.

The European Union originated from the Schuman Plan - the joint management of coal and steel production in France and Germany, which should be the precursor of European integration, so that some of the most energetic countries in Europe will combine the most important resources.

The benefits this has brought to several countries are undoubtedly huge. After tasting the sweetness, they finally began to gradually come together in other fields, until the political, military, and economic integration of the later.

After the emergence of the European Community, the United Kingdom only came up with a plan for the European Free Trade Area. It was Churchill who came to power again, but the member states of the European Community, already led by France, did not take Britain seriously at all.

Then came the most embarrassing scene in the history of the British Empire. The United States forced the United Kingdom to join the European Community. France refused to let the United Kingdom join. Charles de Gaulle said that the United Kingdom was only interested in dividing Europe. into the European Union.

In fact, the reasons for the opposition of British voters are similar to those of a few decades later. Small commodity producers are afraid of the impact of lower-priced products, fishermen do not want the fertile British fishing areas to open to Europe, and so on.

However, it is good to be ten years earlier. The participating countries of the Brussels Treaty Organization are still interested in colonial affairs. There is such a question of willingness to unite, which led to the alliance at this time.

We can talk about steel and coal later, but we can't wait to talk about colonies. Even British India, the pearl of the British Empire, has begun to crumble, and it will be too late to wait.

Under the general framework of the colony, other issues can wait to be discussed. As long as this framework exists, it is unlikely that Britain will continue to be marginalized by France.

Prime Minister Attlee also nodded, acknowledging Alan Wilson's remarks. Why is this happening, mainly because Alan Wilson didn't say a word about the union, he talked about colonies, and looked at this union from a colonial mindset.

I didn't mention the topic of who has more steel and coal and who has less. What I said is that except for France, the countries in the Brussels Treaty Organization are currently smaller than the United Kingdom. It seems that this organization has always been that the strong eat meat, and the weak will eat meat. drink soup.

Compared with France, the United Kingdom is at least one level higher than France in terms of national strength. Therefore, the members of the Brussels Treaty Organization, of course, eat more in the United Kingdom, eat less in France, and drink soup for others.

Now that Germany is treated as a defeated country, the environment for Britain to face France alone is more favorable. Various conditions should facilitate this organization to develop in the direction that Britain hopes.

"It's not about making concessions on the fishing issue!" Prime Minister Attlee breathed a sigh of relief, but that would affect the vote.

In the film industry, there are not many practitioners, so there will be no problems affecting votes.

The Prime Minister recognized the film industry as the consensus of this meeting. Alan Wilson played the role of an excellent tool person and began to talk about the film issue. The next day, he listened to the French representative talking nonsense, just like himself talking about the colonial issue.

"What was this person's original occupation?" Listening to Nino Bertrand talking about industry integration and the standards of the common market in front of the Brussels Treaty Organization participating countries and the two observer countries Sweden and Denmark on the issue of film, Alan Wilson looked tired.

He can only nod and agree now. If Vivien Leigh is here, he can at least have someone who understands movies to advise him. After the day's meeting, Alan Wilson sent a telegram to Hyderabad, asking Ellie Sha contacted Vivien Leigh in the United States to make up lessons for herself.

The telegram mentioned the miss of Vivien Leigh, and asked Vivien Leigh whether her tuberculosis was cured in a concerned tone.

Then there was the undisguised topic of looking for foreign aid, saying that he was now negotiating a top-secret negotiation involving the integration of the European film market. He hoped that Great Britain Treasure would quickly make up lessons for himself, and the provincial government listened to the French at the official meeting. People talk nonsense, and they can only echo from one side.

The time has come to winter, and Ingrid Bergman is also in the real estate that Vivien Leigh bought in the United States. Vivien Leigh has not been in the United States for a long time. In fact, she is confused about a series of standards in the film industry, as well as the working norms in Hollywood.

It happened that Ingrid Bergman was also there, and Vivien Leigh told Ingrid Bergman to keep it a secret before mentioning it, to see if it could help.

"Integrate the European film market?" Ingrid Bergman's eyes lit up. She remembered that in New Delhi, when the two were having a good time, Alan Wilson did mention that the European film market must be integrated in order to improve the treatment of film actors.

This man really did it, Ingrid Bergman couldn't help but feel joy in her heart, but considering Vivien Leigh's mood, she said with joy, "Great, if this thing can be done, European cinema The treatment of the actors can be improved a lot."

"Yeah, if all countries close their own film markets, it really can't be compared with the American film market." Vivien Leigh nodded. Now Vivien Leigh only integrates the European film market and compares it with the American film market.

She still can't imagine that in a few years the American film market will usher in a wave of heavy losses, and it is also related to his good brother Allen.

The two foreign aids immediately began to write some standards into telegrams under the condition of secrecy. If they didn't understand something, they asked their friends in the industry, especially Katharine Hepburn, as the most senior actress, about Hollywood's various The situation is very well understood, and naturally it is the key object of consultation.

In fact, it can't be said to be asking for foreign aid. Vivien Leigh is British, Ingrid Bergman is Swedish, and both of them are Europeans. When it comes to the integration of the European film market, how can it be said that it is foreign aid, only domestic aid? .

Before Vivien Leigh and Ingrid Bergman didn't reply, Ellen Wilson was scratching her head, trying to prove that she knew movies, at least in part.

"We can't release all movies. We all know that in any industry, the best part is only a few. We can't release any movie from all member states and put them in the theaters for citizens of all countries to watch." Allen who took a different approach Wilson, said that not all films can be put on the market.

"So it seems that Britain means to carry out film censorship?" Nino Bertrand asked rhetorically, frowning.

"Censorship is what dictatorships do, and our attitude in the UK is to avoid flooding the market with bad movies. And it's not realistic to put every movie in theaters." Alan Wilson denies establishing censorship, although in fact it is, " We are considering whether to issue a licensing system, and only films that are well-produced by regular film companies can be eligible to enter the theater.”

It is only now that Alan Wilson has discovered that the licensing system that has appeared in India is really a good thing, and it can also be used in the film industry. The company where the film that is put into the theater line must first prove the strength of the company through the market.

On this day, Alan Wilson finally went back and forth with Nino Bertrand through the topic of licenses.

Afterwards, the foreign aid telegrams from Great Britain Treasure and the Nordic Queen arrived. Alan Wilson spent several hours with critical eyes and found a content that could connotate the United States and pretend to be an expert~lightnovelpub.net~ In the end, about the movie market At the integration meeting, Alan Wilson opened his guns and said in a righteous manner, "The European film market must be inclusive, and there must be no vertical integration like the American film market. That is a monopoly, which is not conducive to For cultural exchanges between European countries, we understand that France is a film powerhouse, but we must also give filmmakers from countries like Denmark and Sweden a fair chance.”

Now major American film companies are in charge of theaters in various places. This operation method is called vertical integration. For example, MGM and United Arts have their own theaters, or Warner and Columbia jointly open theaters, but only show the films of these two companies. .

As soon as these words came out, the named representatives of Sweden and Denmark nodded, as if they were grateful to the British for helping their country speak.

After Nino Bertrand got in touch with Paris, he also recognized the opinions of the British. Anyway, France is the origin of the film industry and is now a European film power. Even if he agreed to the opinions of the British, he would not be strong against France. impact on the film industry.

Britain and France have reached a consensus on the issue of integrating the film market. Naturally, other countries have no reason to object.

The Brussels meeting has finally come to fruition. Although the results on the colonial issue are even greater, it cannot be announced. The integration of the film industry is used to cover up the colonial issue, and there is an explanation for citizens of all countries.
