Chapter 119 The Ending
Since 2004, states in the United States have passed gay marriage laws one after another. Although there have been constant controversies, it is a trend that society accepts homosexuality more and more.In this regard, the opening speed of Hollywood is slightly inferior.After all, celebrities are public figures, and once they come out, their influence is much greater than that of ordinary people.Moreover, their works will inevitably be resisted by conservative forces, which is not conducive to the development of their careers.Therefore, most gay stars in Hollywood conceal their sexuality, and they will not easily express their sexuality in public. One is to avoid being questioned about their sexuality, and the other is to avoid accidentally exposing their own mouths.
Vogt Peston and Jake Gyllenhaal are arguably the most famous come-out stars in recent years.After the two filmed "Brokeback Mountain", their careers took off.Vogt Peston has been a topical character since his debut. In the first movie "Brokeback Mountain", he beat Heath Ledger to get the role for the first time. He participated in an unpopular gay-themed movie. He and Ang Lee's relationship was interpreted as going through the back door, and the shocking kiss with Jake Gyllenhaal at the Oscars, etc. The next few movies were also full of topics, but so far, all the movies he has participated in are big. It has been successful, its acting skills have been well received, and its popularity and attention have risen like a rocket.The first film, the first role was crowned emperor at the Golden Globe Awards, becoming the youngest Golden Globe winner in film history, breaking history, and was nominated for Best Actor in the Oscar for three consecutive times, and was also nominated in the three major European film festivals , as soon as this resume came out, it immediately stunned the attention of the whole world, and made all the actors of the same generation envy and hate.He is Hollywood's "miracle boy", a recognized talented actor.And Jake Gyllenhaal is a child of a Hollywood family, with a top-notch network in this industry. His previous works have been well received, and he is in the stage of quietly accumulating popularity and attention. He broke out in "Brokeback Mountain" and made a breakthrough. It also allowed him to win his first Oscar, which is well-deserved and undisputed.After that, it entered a stable development period, known for its outstanding acting skills, seriousness and dedication.His peaceful and stable way of rising is like a trickle, not aggressive, but persistent and full of penetration. For example, Vogt, who is in full swing, is more respected and recognized.
These two characters, no matter how you look at them, are young talents in Hollywood, iconic figures who have already become popular in the United States and are about to become popular all over the world.
Then they publicly came out on the Oprah show. The news was tantamount to a nuclear bomb explosion for the American people, and immediately set off an uproar.
Countless fans cried and fainted in the toilet, wailing "A good man is either married or gone to stir up sex".
But the vicious abuse was much less than when Vogt was involved in various scandals before.
People who were tortured to death by the tragedy of Ennis and Jack in "Brokeback Mountain" shouted "Ennis and Jack are finally together".
Vogt, who clarified the scandal through the Oprah Show, won sympathy and recognition for his frank and honest attitude and convincing evidence.American mothers already liked the young and promising Vogt very much. Seeing Vogt's helplessness and grievances in this show made her motherhood explode. The society is dark, dirty and disheartened.Although I was shocked by Vogt and Jack's coming out of the closet later, the main tone has not changed.
Fans of Vogt and Jack expressed their support with an unprecedented one-sided attitude!
"When I watched "Brokeback Mountain", I knew they were tricky!"
"I misunderstood you before, Vogel is sorry. No matter what you do in the future, I will support you!"
"The two stand together very well. I saw them holding hands and crying. Jack stood by Vogel's side to support him in spite of the controversy at the critical moment. It was so touching!"
"I love them so much!"
"Voge is very cunning, no wonder he has never denied that he has a lover, nor has he denied that his lover is a man. He has worked so hard for today's announcement!"
"They said that it doesn't matter whether the lover is a man or a woman, as long as they are in love, they can accept it. They kept talking and talking, and then I found out that I actually accepted it. What's going on?"
……
These are messages from fans.
"After Brokeback Mountain, we knew there were so many possibilities in the world. Vogel and Jake are great people, and I'm happy they're together. They owe me a meal, and they're keeping it from me." Anne Hathaway flashed her fist at the camera mischievously, and said with a smile.
"This is their freedom. Vogue will always be my brother, and my enemy." Leonardo laughed.
"The girls in my family love them. I'm jealous so I won't comment," Christian Bale said helplessly.
"I don't support it, will they listen to me? As long as they know what they are doing." Maggie Gyllenhaal's lingering anger still persisted.
"Since they have made a choice, they must take responsibility. I believe they can handle it well, and I hope the society will be more tolerant." Ang Lee maintained with an elder attitude.
"They are all excellent actors, and they may make progress together." Director Coen Brothers.
"Peston is good." Director Christopher Nolan.
"This has nothing to do with me," said Josh Brolin, who is considered Vogt's biggest rival this awards season.
……
"...Besides, the wording of the media is quite polite." Lance said, looking at Vogt and Jack.
Vogt and Jack look at each other and high five in triumph!
Lance raised his eyebrows, wanting to warn the two smug boys, but he held back.As a realistic and snobbish agent, Lance is very used to seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages.As for the relationship between Vogt and Jack, he has never been in favor of it, and letting them have a secret relationship is already the biggest concession.If he is allowed to make a decision, he hopes that the day when the two come out will never come.But none of his clients will listen to him. After all, they have climbed to a position where they can have a certain right to speak.In fact, Vogt is relatively obedient at work, but in his private life, he is quite arbitrary.When the scandal broke out, Lance had a premonition that Vogt wanted to disclose his relationship with Jack once and for all.But he respected Jack's wishes, Jack didn't nod, he could continue to wait.
Lance originally thought that Jack was more sensible than Vogt, but obviously Jack was also stepped on the bottom line. Not only did he not give up, but he also turned on the battle mode, and went crazy with Vogt.
Afterwards, the teams on both sides were in a state of urgency, without bothering to scold others, and entered a state of emergency first, arranging crisis public relations.
Unexpectedly, the development of things was much better than they expected.
Among the celebrities who came out in recent years, Vogt and Jack are the most famous and the least attacked from all walks of life.
In addition to the positive comments from fans and groups represented by mothers, the liberal mainstream media in the United States, the media controlled by the six Hollywood majors, etc., have published quite moderate comments, and even the conservative media, which are usually firmly opposed to homosexuality, are not bothered. Buitch said a few words, their reason was that Vogt and Jack were not born homosexuals, they both had serious girlfriends before they got together, and they thought they were just too young and went astray for a while.
The pair's public coming out is transitioning with an unexpectedly peaceful transition.
Their respective teams reacted as if they were facing a big enemy, but it seemed a bit fussy.
It was only then that Lance realized that Vogt and Jack's choice to go public might not have been an impulsive decision, they had already prepared for it!
One is the timing is right.Now both Vogt and Jack have made good achievements in Hollywood. They are no longer unknown actors or newcomers who have just stepped into Hollywood. They will not lose everything because they come out.Moreover, the Vogt scandal broke out first, portraying Vogt as a morally corrupt bastard, but after being clarified through the Oprah show, it was found that everything was false, someone deliberately framed it, and Vogt became a victim all of a sudden. , a lot of crimes finally became only homosexuality, and people's acceptance was greatly increased invisibly.The influence of the Oprah Show can be described as extreme.
The second is that their relationship with major Hollywood companies is in a delicate relationship.Jack is backed by the Gyllenhaal family. This Hollywood family has extraordinary influence. Offending one is equal to offending a group.Don't look at Maggie Gyllenhaal's verbal hatred of Jack. She was the first to rush forward when her younger brother had an accident. Many people shut up or made positive comments because of the pressure exerted by this family.Jack has developed in Hollywood for many years. He is a prolific and hard-working actor and has a good relationship with many companies. The companies that are about to cooperate with him or have projects that are already in operation naturally do not want his reputation to be damaged, and they have jumped out to escort him.Vogt got the relationship of the Gyllenhaal family, and Jack supported him, so it was inevitable to be taken care of by the way.
As for Vogt, after the box office of "Batman: The Dark Knight" came out, he has become a favorite among all parties.The balance between art and box office he has shown in recent years is astonishing. Even a movie with average ratings like "The Duchess" is only outstanding in his acting skills, and because of his joining, the box office rushed to 3 million. In the survey, 40% of the audience went to the cinema purely for Vogt's aristocratic appearance, and the box office appeal was fully demonstrated.After the incident of Hayley Atwell broke out, the producer Paramount did not hesitate to abandon Hayley, insisting that she had not been instructed to promote the scandal by means of hype, and the matter was completely dominated by her, and she wanted to hype herself .The main messenger behind her, Edward Paxman, couldn't take care of himself, regardless of her life and death, so both Hayley and the director Saul Beedy were extremely embarrassed by this.Warner has tasted the sweetness from "Batman: The Dark Knight", and the attitude towards Vogt is called a good one. Knowing that Vogt and their producer Gerald are a little unhappy, they quickly expressed that the two parties will cooperate in the future. The project will not involve Gerald.
In addition to the solidarity of Warner and Paramount, Fox, one of the Big Six, also made an unexpected voice.
Lance belatedly learned from Vogt that he and Fox were cooperating on a project called "Avatar". He invested 8000 million US dollars through his brother Ludwig, accounting for 10% of the shares.As for the details...
Vogt gave him a blank look: "I don't know, it's all Ludwig's doing."
Vogt did not expect that Fox would defend him, but as one of the partners on the list, it is just a matter of effort for Fox to show favor in the public opinion.
"Your family intends to enter Hollywood?" Lance asked.He thought of Vogt's shares in theater chains, and now his second brother Ludwig was involved in the film industry.Hollywood film companies are always selling back and forth, even if they are as powerful as the Big Six, they cannot escape the fate of being invaded by big capital.With the strength of the Pfister family or the Peston family, it is not impossible to really want to buy one of the Big Six.
"Is there?" Vogt was even more surprised than Lance: "Ludwig just wants to chase after a girlfriend?" But Ludwig seems to be interested in Redstone's granddaughter, who is from Paramount. of.As for why it got involved in the Fox project, Vogt didn't know.
Investing over [-] million to participate in a project in order to chase a girlfriend?
Lance was speechless about the children of this rich family.But based on his understanding of the Pfister family, the only person who would do such a thing is Vogt, who is a weirdo who is concerned about improper money. The other members of the Pfister family are still quite pragmatic.
Just asking Vogt will definitely not get the result, his head can't hold such a thing.
What Lance expected was right. Later, the Peston family really invested in the new line. With strong capital, it grew rapidly. Ludwig became the first CEO and married Lei Shidong's granddaughter. Working in the company, falling in love and killing each other every day.And Vogt, who is defined as "a stupid person with little money", is jointly taken care of by his brother and sister-in-law, and his life should not be too moist, but he still takes it for granted: "Compared to the box office revenue I brought to them, What are these?" Even so, without the backing of two big companies, Vogt couldn't be so happy and free to become more and more self-willed and unmanageable...
This is an afterthought.
Anyway, Vogt and Jack, relying on the superimposed influence of both parties, passed the biggest hurdle in their life and career without any risk.
Lance... Lance didn't know what to say.Because of his disapproval, Vogt didn't tell him much about coming out.And Lance always felt that he didn't have so many eyes, this time it was purely another mistake.On the contrary, Jack seemed to have made preparations and wanted to surprise Vogt.
So, that's the difference between him and Jack.So Jack is the lover, and he can only be the agent.
"I'll go back to Germany with me for Christmas. It's time to meet my old man." Hearing Lance's report, Vogt said enthusiastically, feeling that it was nothing serious.
Because of Vogt's father's more rigid relationship, Vogt met Jack's parents, and Jack met Vogt's mother but not his father.
"Okay!" Jack said indifferently.Anyway, Christmas must be a vacation, and Vogt's company will not be boring, and you can go anywhere.
Vogt imagined happily: "I want to kiss you in front of him, change rooms with my elder brother, and do it next to him..." The unfilial son mode is fully on, and the more he talks, the more wicked and excited he is.
Jack couldn't bear to pat him on the back of the head: "Shut up!"
Vogt winked and pretended to be cute, and coaxed in a low, sexy voice: "Just once, Jack, just once!"
Jack rolled his eyes, once again feeling that the road ahead is still very, very long...
--Finish--

1. Awards
"The Golden Globes go to—" The award presenter paused habitually to cause suspense, and then announced with a smile: "Vogt Peston, "Batman: The Dark Knight"!"
This year's awards season, because "Batman: The Dark Knight" received both word-of-mouth and box office, broke many historical records and became a hot spot for awards.Among the major awards, the "Joker" played by Vogt Peston has no rival in the Best Supporting Actor category and almost swept the army.It is not unexpected to win the Golden Globe now.Moreover, Vogt won the Golden Globes after the scandal broke out and came out of the closet, reflecting the fairness and justice of the Golden Globes, not being influenced by the outside world, not discriminating against homosexuality, and only focusing on the quality of films and actors.The Golden Globe Awards have always favored Vogt. In 2006, he was awarded the title of emperor in history. After that, he was nominated every year. In 2009, he won another Golden Globe.Reciprocating, Vogt also gave the Golden Globes a lot of face, and attended every session on time.Especially not long after he and Jack came out publicly, the media and the public strongly wanted to see him now. Because of his presence, the ratings of the Golden Globe Awards Ceremony rose to a level that made the organizing committee burst into laughter.
But the conversation didn't stop there.Everyone's eyes immediately turned to Oscar.Vogt once yelled at Oscar in public, don't nominate him if he doesn't give an award. Although the matter was treated coldly by both parties, the words have been put down. Did Oscar really not take it to heart?Will Vogt, who claims he doesn't like lying, retract his foreword and attend the Oscars for the award?After all, with the momentum of "Joker", winning the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor seems to be a sure thing.Would Vogt give up his first Oscar for acting on a gamble?
Soon, the list of Oscar nominations came out.What is surprising is that there is indeed no Vogt Peston's name on it!
The media and the public immediately exploded!
"Public revenge! This is definitely public revenge! How can a film award that emphasizes fairness ignore the talent and hard work of actors because of private emotions?"
"It's such a shame, 'Joker' is such a great character. I've never heard of any of the other movies and people nominated..."
"Voge is so pathetic. He's just too young to say the wrong thing—in fact, he didn't even say the wrong thing. Every time he was nominated and didn't give an award, and he had to work hard in the middle of the filming to attend the award ceremony. Could it be that he Can't you complain?"
"Black. Curtain! Black. Curtain! Oscar discriminates against homosexuals!"
Due to the excessive pressure of public opinion, Oscar had to come forward to clarify that it was not that they did not nominate Vogt, but that Vogt did not sign up for this year's Best Supporting Actor Oscar.
Everyone: Huh?
Vogt's Team Response: Vogt has signed up for the award.
The Oscar jury would love to curse.Yes, Vogt did sign up.But what he applied for was not Best Supporting Actor, but Best Actor!They had all planned to give Vogt the award as long as he nominated for Best Supporting Actor.After a few years, his qualifications are enough.At his age, he is also the second youngest person to win Best Supporting Actor in the history of Oscars. The first is Timothy Hutton. He was 20 years old when he won the award, and Vogt was 23 years old. Winning awards at this age is definitely not counted. Humiliation,.Oscar also wanted to take the opportunity to smooth over the previous unhappiness. After all, Vogt's achievements in the past few years are really impressive.
But they didn't expect Vogt to apply for the best actor!
Yes, in "Batman: The Dark Knight", the "Joker" is the focus of the whole play. In terms of the role of this character and the concept of the movie, he can be regarded as the protagonist, but the name of the movie is Batman, okay? ?Batman is the recognized hero!Moreover, the Oscars have always placed more emphasis on artistry than commerciality. It is already under pressure to be nominated for such an outright commercial blockbuster as "Batman: The Dark Knight". Oscar will not follow the trend to give important awards, because Oscar is so Aloof, they must distinguish themselves from the tastes of other awards, disdain to be reduced to mediocrity.Best Supporting Actor?Barely can.Best Actor?Don't even think about it.
And Vogt's other movie "The Duchess", he is indeed the leading actor.But the male lead in a female movie?No matter how good his performance is, it is not enough to be compared with the leading actors in other movies, let alone his image in it is a husband who is unfaithful to his marriage, which does not conform to the values promoted by Oscar.
Even those in the know know that as long as Vogt Peston nominates for Best Supporting Actor, he can win the award. On the premise that he still nominates for Best Actor, but for other awards, he nominates for Best Supporting Actor... It's not because it's intentional. What?
He clearly insisted on going against Oscar!
That being the case, Oscar will not be polite!
So it turned out that Vogt wasn't even nominated for Best Actor.
Oscar is ready to start a public opinion war with Vogt.The media with a keen sense of smell are all excited, gearing up to add fuel to the flames...
Vogt exclaimed: "Great! No need to go back!" After coming out publicly, Vogt and Jack no longer had to meet secretly.Jack is going to film "Love and Elixir" with Anne Hathaway in Pittsburgh. Vogt, who has no new film for the time being, flies to visit the set in a fair manner, and helps Jack into the film by the way-he thinks it is difficult for Jack to produce a boyish Anne "love".With him as a legitimate lover, Jack's acting in a romantic drama should be smoother.
As for why the Best Actor was awarded, but not the Best Supporting Actor?Are you going to fight against Oscar?
Vogt was at a loss: "Huh? What are you talking about? Why can't I understand? Important awards, I hope to start with the best actor, my Golden Globe Award is like this. In the past few years, I have applied for the Oscar. Is it a nomination for best actor, is it strange to continue to nominate this year?" His expression said, "Is it really strange that you are making such a fuss", which made the questioner extremely embarrassed.But Vogt is still very pleased: "Obviously, they adopted my opinion. That's right, if you don't give an award, why don't you nominate it, so as to save me a trip in vain. Even if this is a special treatment for me alone, I Very happy too!"
The media looking forward to the big news:...
The Oscar Organizing Committee, which has infinite conspiracy theories, is on the verge of a formidable enemy: ...
Leonardo, who has been upset with the Oscars for a long time: "Hahahahaha!" He has decided not to attend this year's Oscars ceremony. He wants to invite friends and friends to visit Vogt in Pittsburgh and find a reason to hold it on the night of the Oscars. Party, media invited live!
(The distance between these two Oscar statuettes is still very, very far. As for whether they will become unrare because they have not been able to get them all the time, and then pull everyone to be unrare, this is unknown.)
2. See my father
The first time Jack meets Vogt's father, Helmut Pfister, is ignored.
This middle-aged handsome man with a knife-sharpened silhouette, majestic and sexual restraint is tall and strong, with a gloomy and stern aura, and his gaze is full of the coldness and ruthlessness of the capitalist's inorganic nature. Standing in front of him, people feel fear and wish to He fell to the ground and kissed the toe of his shoe.
And he was looking at Vogt, a deep anger creeping up his tense face.
"Hi, Father." Vogt greeted without pressure, not at all like a son who hasn't seen his father for more than four years.Although he smiled, there was not much emotion in his eyes.
"get..."
"Hey, Vogt, Jack, you're here!" Vogt's mother, Lin Minjia, exclaimed in surprise, and warmly walked over to hug her son and his lover.
Vogt's face changed immediately, becoming sincere and tender, and he hugged his mother affectionately.
"Honey, Vogue is back, don't be so stern. Here, let me introduce you, this is Jack." Annie happily took her husband's arm with one hand, and took Jack with the other to introduce: "Jack, this is Vogue's Father, Helmut, you can call him Hel."
Jack felt that he had heard correctly. What Mr. Helmut Pfister wanted to say just now was definitely "fuck off" without any sympathy.
However, if Jack were him, he would probably have the same attitude - facing a young son who has been keen to make him angry, has not returned home for four years, and has just come out of the closet.
Thinking of Vogt's triumphantly bragging about his 20-plus-year battle of wits with this gentleman—it's a sad thing to have a bad son.Jack felt sympathetic, and smiled politely and obediently: "Hi, Mr. Pfister, I'm Jack, Vogue's... friend."
Annie and Vogt looked at him in amazement.
Helmut Feist paused for a moment, his face seemed even more terrifying.
Jack looked at Vogt inexplicably: Did I do something wrong?
Vogt: All right.
The atmosphere was a bit stiff, Anne said: "Jack, don't be afraid, Vogel's father has facial muscle emotion expression failure disorder, he stared at you but actually smiled at you, he was actually smiling at you with no expression on his face, he..."
"Anne," said Helmut Pfister.It still looked cold and heartless, but Jack could hear a little... helplessness?
"Haha, facial muscle emotion failure syndrome, hahaha!" the unfilial son Vogt laughed unceremoniously.
Helmut Pfister kicked without warning, and kicked Vogt to the ground quickly and accurately.The strength Jack felt pain watching, and Vogt said that his father had served in the army should be true.
"Hey, old man, you're cheating!" But Vogt was obviously used to it, and he stood up.
Helmut Pfister twisted up his collar and dragged it in a certain direction without saying a word.Vogt struggled and twisted, but couldn't break free.
"Oh, dear, take it easy, there's a visitor," Annie called.
"Yes." Helmut Pfister nodded arrogantly.
"Hehe, actually, their father and son have a very good relationship. Every time I stay with Hull, Vogel becomes three years old." Annie said with a nonchalant smile, winking at Jack: "Okay, anyway, remember what I said Hull is not difficult to get along with, he just hopes Vogel and the others can behave."
"I...understand," Jack said dryly.He couldn't see Helmut Pfister's "not difficult to get along with" at all.
But soon Jack really understood what Annie meant.
Christmas is a big party for the Pfister family.The entire Pfister family gathered at the German patriarch's house, that is, the Vogt's house, to attend the banquet.
As the patriarch of the Feist family, Helmut Pfister is the man at the top of the pyramid.He is gloomy and terrifying, with an overwhelming aura, and the rest of the Pfister family only follow him.His wife, Anne Pfister, was an impeccable lady, leading the conversation and demeanor of the family members present in every move.Their three sons are lined up, each with its own characteristics, and the degree of excellence can steadily overwhelm the other peers present.
This is a really big family with a deep heritage, and the complexity of people's hearts is beyond imagination.
Originally Vogt didn't want Jack to participate in this kind of banquet, but Jack wanted to see it, so Vogt let him.The news of Vogt and Jack's public coming out has already been known in Germany.They didn't dare to say Vogt, so they couldn't avoid making fun of Jack to test the patriarch's attitude.Then Jack saw Vogt's aggressiveness for the first time. He made people feel ashamed with a few words, and he was very arrogant and venomous, and he was not polite.
"This is the direction of my training. I don't like intrigue, so I am arrogant and direct, selfish and willful." Vogt blinked: "If it weren't for my mother and grandmother, I wouldn't want to stay in this house at all."
Jack could imagine that, with Vogt's artist temper, it must have felt suffocating in such an environment.
Fortunately, Vogt is the youngest son and has two older brothers on his head.The eldest brother Andrew is [-] points like Helmut Feist and is willing to take over his father's position in the future. The second brother Ludwig is only [-] points like him, and he is also very shrewd and capable.They were more satisfied and valued by Helmut Feist.
At formal dinners, the Vogts would appear distinguished and respectful, but private meals with the family were much better.Annie returned to her original nature, talking and laughing like a lark, Ludwig and Vogt echoed her the most, and the whole table was naturally lively.
But Helmut Pfister always maintained an appearance of wanting to throw Vogt out anytime and anywhere. In order to make Vogt feel better, Jack behaved quite well in front of this father, and every time the other party Glancing over from the corner of his eye, Jack quickly gave him a peaceful smile.
In the end Vogt and Jack walked out of Pfister's gate alive.
Annie was very reluctant to part with Jack: "Hull likes you very much, come back with Vogel when you have time." She said and handed Jack an envelope: "Please be sure to accept the gift from our family. You can directly mention it if it is less than 1000 million."
Jack, who didn't feel that he was liked at all, took the envelope in a daze: "Huh?" What 1000 million?
"Show me?" Vogt held out his hand.
Jack gave it to him immediately.Vogt opened it and saw that it was a check, specially for Helmut Pfister.
"Oh, I'm the son, or Jack is the son!" Vogt couldn't help but say.
"If you were as good as Jack." Annie patted him and said angrily, "Be nicer to your father."
Vogt muttered something inaudible.
"It's too expensive, I can't accept it." Jack was taken aback by the generosity, and quickly declined.
"It's okay, accept it. This is a red envelope, a family tradition. If you don't accept it, it will be an insult to our family." Vogt said.
Jack rolled his eyes.so serious?
"Has such a tradition in Germany?"
"Chinese tradition. My grandmother's family gave it like this." Vogt said with certainty.The first time his mother took his father home, the red envelope, a check for 1000 million, handed out by his grandmother Lin Chuchu, immediately shocked his father who was born in aristocratic family.So Helmut Pfister mistakenly identified this as a Chinese tradition.His mother, Lin Minjia, is of Chinese descent, and Helmut supported his wife, so naturally he was not stingy with 1000 million.Changing Vogt will definitely not have this kind of treatment.
It is rare for an unfilial son who can beat his father to say that he should not do it for nothing.
And... Vogt squints at Jack to see if he's taken aback.
Jack was indeed shocked: "Mr. Pfister... really likes me?"
"Hmm." Vogt nodded.Helmut Pfister's biggest miss in this life is to have a soft little daughter like his mother.It's a pity that all three of them are brats.The eldest brother is like him, and his personality and temper are almost printed out of the mold, which is as unpleasant as him.The second brother is cunning, and he is best at obedience and disobedience.Well, he won't mention it.Anyway, no one is obedient and obedient.Jack is the first fair-skinned, beautiful, docile and well-behaved child who is not afraid of him, and he is similar to the image of the little girl in his heart, no wonder he secretly likes it.
"He's not against us?" Jack asked.
Vogt was taken aback: "It's useless for him to object, I don't care."
"However, it's better not to object." Jack held his hand.In any case, he wants to get the understanding of both parents, after all, they are the closest family members.
"No wonder you're so good..." Vogt couldn't help kissing him.Helmut Pfister was naturally arrogant, and it was hard for Jack to stand him.
"He's your father." Respect is due.
"……thanks."
"You're welcome."
3. Qiantu
Vogt has never worried about money since he was a child, except for a short period of time when he broke up with his first love and flew to New York alone.He never runs out of money.
Firstly, it was because he was not a big spender, and secondly, someone always gave him money for no apparent reason.
For example, relatives and friends on my father's side basically send gifts to him every time.
Because the patriarch Helmut Pfister's preference is a mystery, he has so much prestige that no one dares to give it away.The patriarch's wife has the patriarch as her backer. She has never seen such a fine product, and she would be ashamed if she gave it away.The eldest son of the patriarch, Andrew, has the same style as his father.The patriarch's second son, Ludwig, is not slippery, and his preferences are unpredictable.In contrast, although the younger son Vogt is also very smart, he is relatively self-willed and simple.So many years later, Vogt's safe contains famous watches, famous car keys, checks, cash, etc., all of which he can use later.
The truth is, Vogt's father and two older brothers are masters at making money, but Vogt is obviously lacking in this area.Unanimously worried about his father and brother who will be poor in the future, they made a decision and let him accept the gift.After all, gift giving is more about asking for help.The patriarch's family has a rigorous style of work. The father and son are tight-knit, but when the water is clear, there will be no fish. If it is too tight, it will appear unreasonable, so it is necessary to leave a small mouth for the convenience of others.The third son with no business acumen became the best candidate.I don't know how to make money with money, but at least I have some valuable assets, which can be sold and exchanged for emergency if necessary.
Vogt doesn't even have to worry about which gifts he can accept and which ones he can't. He has his own butler to help him sort out them.Vogt only had to sign when the butler told him the safe was full and needed another one.
After Vogt was full, he still didn't use the contents of the safe, because it was unnecessary.It wasn't until his second brother said that he needed a sum of money to invest in the project that Vogt remembered, and then: "Here."
The second brother returned it to him three times.
Another example is the Peston family.
Vogt has no specialties since he was a child except for his talent in acting, and he has psychological problems, so he is very disgusted with becoming an actor.The family has already determined that he is the life of Mi Chong.Although the family can afford it, the Peston family is worried that he will have to rely on others for a living because of his lack of ability, so they usually take care of him more or less.
They are all generous under the affluence, but they can't stand the crowd, and everyone is moving quietly to avoid unnecessary quarrels and troubles.So little Vogt always received the most candy toys and the thickest red envelopes every time he went to Peston's house.
The cousins of the same generation are still children, so they are naturally jealous.Vogt waved his small hand and sent them all out.He is tender and old-hearted, why would he fall in love with such a child's thing?
The things the parents sent out came back intact, and occasionally there were more. When the parents asked, the children said so and so, and the parents sighed: "He is a generous and good boy." Being so careless is even more worrying. , by the way
Vogt Peston and Jake Gyllenhaal are arguably the most famous come-out stars in recent years.After the two filmed "Brokeback Mountain", their careers took off.Vogt Peston has been a topical character since his debut. In the first movie "Brokeback Mountain", he beat Heath Ledger to get the role for the first time. He participated in an unpopular gay-themed movie. He and Ang Lee's relationship was interpreted as going through the back door, and the shocking kiss with Jake Gyllenhaal at the Oscars, etc. The next few movies were also full of topics, but so far, all the movies he has participated in are big. It has been successful, its acting skills have been well received, and its popularity and attention have risen like a rocket.The first film, the first role was crowned emperor at the Golden Globe Awards, becoming the youngest Golden Globe winner in film history, breaking history, and was nominated for Best Actor in the Oscar for three consecutive times, and was also nominated in the three major European film festivals , as soon as this resume came out, it immediately stunned the attention of the whole world, and made all the actors of the same generation envy and hate.He is Hollywood's "miracle boy", a recognized talented actor.And Jake Gyllenhaal is a child of a Hollywood family, with a top-notch network in this industry. His previous works have been well received, and he is in the stage of quietly accumulating popularity and attention. He broke out in "Brokeback Mountain" and made a breakthrough. It also allowed him to win his first Oscar, which is well-deserved and undisputed.After that, it entered a stable development period, known for its outstanding acting skills, seriousness and dedication.His peaceful and stable way of rising is like a trickle, not aggressive, but persistent and full of penetration. For example, Vogt, who is in full swing, is more respected and recognized.
These two characters, no matter how you look at them, are young talents in Hollywood, iconic figures who have already become popular in the United States and are about to become popular all over the world.
Then they publicly came out on the Oprah show. The news was tantamount to a nuclear bomb explosion for the American people, and immediately set off an uproar.
Countless fans cried and fainted in the toilet, wailing "A good man is either married or gone to stir up sex".
But the vicious abuse was much less than when Vogt was involved in various scandals before.
People who were tortured to death by the tragedy of Ennis and Jack in "Brokeback Mountain" shouted "Ennis and Jack are finally together".
Vogt, who clarified the scandal through the Oprah Show, won sympathy and recognition for his frank and honest attitude and convincing evidence.American mothers already liked the young and promising Vogt very much. Seeing Vogt's helplessness and grievances in this show made her motherhood explode. The society is dark, dirty and disheartened.Although I was shocked by Vogt and Jack's coming out of the closet later, the main tone has not changed.
Fans of Vogt and Jack expressed their support with an unprecedented one-sided attitude!
"When I watched "Brokeback Mountain", I knew they were tricky!"
"I misunderstood you before, Vogel is sorry. No matter what you do in the future, I will support you!"
"The two stand together very well. I saw them holding hands and crying. Jack stood by Vogel's side to support him in spite of the controversy at the critical moment. It was so touching!"
"I love them so much!"
"Voge is very cunning, no wonder he has never denied that he has a lover, nor has he denied that his lover is a man. He has worked so hard for today's announcement!"
"They said that it doesn't matter whether the lover is a man or a woman, as long as they are in love, they can accept it. They kept talking and talking, and then I found out that I actually accepted it. What's going on?"
……
These are messages from fans.
"After Brokeback Mountain, we knew there were so many possibilities in the world. Vogel and Jake are great people, and I'm happy they're together. They owe me a meal, and they're keeping it from me." Anne Hathaway flashed her fist at the camera mischievously, and said with a smile.
"This is their freedom. Vogue will always be my brother, and my enemy." Leonardo laughed.
"The girls in my family love them. I'm jealous so I won't comment," Christian Bale said helplessly.
"I don't support it, will they listen to me? As long as they know what they are doing." Maggie Gyllenhaal's lingering anger still persisted.
"Since they have made a choice, they must take responsibility. I believe they can handle it well, and I hope the society will be more tolerant." Ang Lee maintained with an elder attitude.
"They are all excellent actors, and they may make progress together." Director Coen Brothers.
"Peston is good." Director Christopher Nolan.
"This has nothing to do with me," said Josh Brolin, who is considered Vogt's biggest rival this awards season.
……
"...Besides, the wording of the media is quite polite." Lance said, looking at Vogt and Jack.
Vogt and Jack look at each other and high five in triumph!
Lance raised his eyebrows, wanting to warn the two smug boys, but he held back.As a realistic and snobbish agent, Lance is very used to seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages.As for the relationship between Vogt and Jack, he has never been in favor of it, and letting them have a secret relationship is already the biggest concession.If he is allowed to make a decision, he hopes that the day when the two come out will never come.But none of his clients will listen to him. After all, they have climbed to a position where they can have a certain right to speak.In fact, Vogt is relatively obedient at work, but in his private life, he is quite arbitrary.When the scandal broke out, Lance had a premonition that Vogt wanted to disclose his relationship with Jack once and for all.But he respected Jack's wishes, Jack didn't nod, he could continue to wait.
Lance originally thought that Jack was more sensible than Vogt, but obviously Jack was also stepped on the bottom line. Not only did he not give up, but he also turned on the battle mode, and went crazy with Vogt.
Afterwards, the teams on both sides were in a state of urgency, without bothering to scold others, and entered a state of emergency first, arranging crisis public relations.
Unexpectedly, the development of things was much better than they expected.
Among the celebrities who came out in recent years, Vogt and Jack are the most famous and the least attacked from all walks of life.
In addition to the positive comments from fans and groups represented by mothers, the liberal mainstream media in the United States, the media controlled by the six Hollywood majors, etc., have published quite moderate comments, and even the conservative media, which are usually firmly opposed to homosexuality, are not bothered. Buitch said a few words, their reason was that Vogt and Jack were not born homosexuals, they both had serious girlfriends before they got together, and they thought they were just too young and went astray for a while.
The pair's public coming out is transitioning with an unexpectedly peaceful transition.
Their respective teams reacted as if they were facing a big enemy, but it seemed a bit fussy.
It was only then that Lance realized that Vogt and Jack's choice to go public might not have been an impulsive decision, they had already prepared for it!
One is the timing is right.Now both Vogt and Jack have made good achievements in Hollywood. They are no longer unknown actors or newcomers who have just stepped into Hollywood. They will not lose everything because they come out.Moreover, the Vogt scandal broke out first, portraying Vogt as a morally corrupt bastard, but after being clarified through the Oprah show, it was found that everything was false, someone deliberately framed it, and Vogt became a victim all of a sudden. , a lot of crimes finally became only homosexuality, and people's acceptance was greatly increased invisibly.The influence of the Oprah Show can be described as extreme.
The second is that their relationship with major Hollywood companies is in a delicate relationship.Jack is backed by the Gyllenhaal family. This Hollywood family has extraordinary influence. Offending one is equal to offending a group.Don't look at Maggie Gyllenhaal's verbal hatred of Jack. She was the first to rush forward when her younger brother had an accident. Many people shut up or made positive comments because of the pressure exerted by this family.Jack has developed in Hollywood for many years. He is a prolific and hard-working actor and has a good relationship with many companies. The companies that are about to cooperate with him or have projects that are already in operation naturally do not want his reputation to be damaged, and they have jumped out to escort him.Vogt got the relationship of the Gyllenhaal family, and Jack supported him, so it was inevitable to be taken care of by the way.
As for Vogt, after the box office of "Batman: The Dark Knight" came out, he has become a favorite among all parties.The balance between art and box office he has shown in recent years is astonishing. Even a movie with average ratings like "The Duchess" is only outstanding in his acting skills, and because of his joining, the box office rushed to 3 million. In the survey, 40% of the audience went to the cinema purely for Vogt's aristocratic appearance, and the box office appeal was fully demonstrated.After the incident of Hayley Atwell broke out, the producer Paramount did not hesitate to abandon Hayley, insisting that she had not been instructed to promote the scandal by means of hype, and the matter was completely dominated by her, and she wanted to hype herself .The main messenger behind her, Edward Paxman, couldn't take care of himself, regardless of her life and death, so both Hayley and the director Saul Beedy were extremely embarrassed by this.Warner has tasted the sweetness from "Batman: The Dark Knight", and the attitude towards Vogt is called a good one. Knowing that Vogt and their producer Gerald are a little unhappy, they quickly expressed that the two parties will cooperate in the future. The project will not involve Gerald.
In addition to the solidarity of Warner and Paramount, Fox, one of the Big Six, also made an unexpected voice.
Lance belatedly learned from Vogt that he and Fox were cooperating on a project called "Avatar". He invested 8000 million US dollars through his brother Ludwig, accounting for 10% of the shares.As for the details...
Vogt gave him a blank look: "I don't know, it's all Ludwig's doing."
Vogt did not expect that Fox would defend him, but as one of the partners on the list, it is just a matter of effort for Fox to show favor in the public opinion.
"Your family intends to enter Hollywood?" Lance asked.He thought of Vogt's shares in theater chains, and now his second brother Ludwig was involved in the film industry.Hollywood film companies are always selling back and forth, even if they are as powerful as the Big Six, they cannot escape the fate of being invaded by big capital.With the strength of the Pfister family or the Peston family, it is not impossible to really want to buy one of the Big Six.
"Is there?" Vogt was even more surprised than Lance: "Ludwig just wants to chase after a girlfriend?" But Ludwig seems to be interested in Redstone's granddaughter, who is from Paramount. of.As for why it got involved in the Fox project, Vogt didn't know.
Investing over [-] million to participate in a project in order to chase a girlfriend?
Lance was speechless about the children of this rich family.But based on his understanding of the Pfister family, the only person who would do such a thing is Vogt, who is a weirdo who is concerned about improper money. The other members of the Pfister family are still quite pragmatic.
Just asking Vogt will definitely not get the result, his head can't hold such a thing.
What Lance expected was right. Later, the Peston family really invested in the new line. With strong capital, it grew rapidly. Ludwig became the first CEO and married Lei Shidong's granddaughter. Working in the company, falling in love and killing each other every day.And Vogt, who is defined as "a stupid person with little money", is jointly taken care of by his brother and sister-in-law, and his life should not be too moist, but he still takes it for granted: "Compared to the box office revenue I brought to them, What are these?" Even so, without the backing of two big companies, Vogt couldn't be so happy and free to become more and more self-willed and unmanageable...
This is an afterthought.
Anyway, Vogt and Jack, relying on the superimposed influence of both parties, passed the biggest hurdle in their life and career without any risk.
Lance... Lance didn't know what to say.Because of his disapproval, Vogt didn't tell him much about coming out.And Lance always felt that he didn't have so many eyes, this time it was purely another mistake.On the contrary, Jack seemed to have made preparations and wanted to surprise Vogt.
So, that's the difference between him and Jack.So Jack is the lover, and he can only be the agent.
"I'll go back to Germany with me for Christmas. It's time to meet my old man." Hearing Lance's report, Vogt said enthusiastically, feeling that it was nothing serious.
Because of Vogt's father's more rigid relationship, Vogt met Jack's parents, and Jack met Vogt's mother but not his father.
"Okay!" Jack said indifferently.Anyway, Christmas must be a vacation, and Vogt's company will not be boring, and you can go anywhere.
Vogt imagined happily: "I want to kiss you in front of him, change rooms with my elder brother, and do it next to him..." The unfilial son mode is fully on, and the more he talks, the more wicked and excited he is.
Jack couldn't bear to pat him on the back of the head: "Shut up!"
Vogt winked and pretended to be cute, and coaxed in a low, sexy voice: "Just once, Jack, just once!"
Jack rolled his eyes, once again feeling that the road ahead is still very, very long...
--Finish--

1. Awards
"The Golden Globes go to—" The award presenter paused habitually to cause suspense, and then announced with a smile: "Vogt Peston, "Batman: The Dark Knight"!"
This year's awards season, because "Batman: The Dark Knight" received both word-of-mouth and box office, broke many historical records and became a hot spot for awards.Among the major awards, the "Joker" played by Vogt Peston has no rival in the Best Supporting Actor category and almost swept the army.It is not unexpected to win the Golden Globe now.Moreover, Vogt won the Golden Globes after the scandal broke out and came out of the closet, reflecting the fairness and justice of the Golden Globes, not being influenced by the outside world, not discriminating against homosexuality, and only focusing on the quality of films and actors.The Golden Globe Awards have always favored Vogt. In 2006, he was awarded the title of emperor in history. After that, he was nominated every year. In 2009, he won another Golden Globe.Reciprocating, Vogt also gave the Golden Globes a lot of face, and attended every session on time.Especially not long after he and Jack came out publicly, the media and the public strongly wanted to see him now. Because of his presence, the ratings of the Golden Globe Awards Ceremony rose to a level that made the organizing committee burst into laughter.
But the conversation didn't stop there.Everyone's eyes immediately turned to Oscar.Vogt once yelled at Oscar in public, don't nominate him if he doesn't give an award. Although the matter was treated coldly by both parties, the words have been put down. Did Oscar really not take it to heart?Will Vogt, who claims he doesn't like lying, retract his foreword and attend the Oscars for the award?After all, with the momentum of "Joker", winning the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor seems to be a sure thing.Would Vogt give up his first Oscar for acting on a gamble?
Soon, the list of Oscar nominations came out.What is surprising is that there is indeed no Vogt Peston's name on it!
The media and the public immediately exploded!
"Public revenge! This is definitely public revenge! How can a film award that emphasizes fairness ignore the talent and hard work of actors because of private emotions?"
"It's such a shame, 'Joker' is such a great character. I've never heard of any of the other movies and people nominated..."
"Voge is so pathetic. He's just too young to say the wrong thing—in fact, he didn't even say the wrong thing. Every time he was nominated and didn't give an award, and he had to work hard in the middle of the filming to attend the award ceremony. Could it be that he Can't you complain?"
"Black. Curtain! Black. Curtain! Oscar discriminates against homosexuals!"
Due to the excessive pressure of public opinion, Oscar had to come forward to clarify that it was not that they did not nominate Vogt, but that Vogt did not sign up for this year's Best Supporting Actor Oscar.
Everyone: Huh?
Vogt's Team Response: Vogt has signed up for the award.
The Oscar jury would love to curse.Yes, Vogt did sign up.But what he applied for was not Best Supporting Actor, but Best Actor!They had all planned to give Vogt the award as long as he nominated for Best Supporting Actor.After a few years, his qualifications are enough.At his age, he is also the second youngest person to win Best Supporting Actor in the history of Oscars. The first is Timothy Hutton. He was 20 years old when he won the award, and Vogt was 23 years old. Winning awards at this age is definitely not counted. Humiliation,.Oscar also wanted to take the opportunity to smooth over the previous unhappiness. After all, Vogt's achievements in the past few years are really impressive.
But they didn't expect Vogt to apply for the best actor!
Yes, in "Batman: The Dark Knight", the "Joker" is the focus of the whole play. In terms of the role of this character and the concept of the movie, he can be regarded as the protagonist, but the name of the movie is Batman, okay? ?Batman is the recognized hero!Moreover, the Oscars have always placed more emphasis on artistry than commerciality. It is already under pressure to be nominated for such an outright commercial blockbuster as "Batman: The Dark Knight". Oscar will not follow the trend to give important awards, because Oscar is so Aloof, they must distinguish themselves from the tastes of other awards, disdain to be reduced to mediocrity.Best Supporting Actor?Barely can.Best Actor?Don't even think about it.
And Vogt's other movie "The Duchess", he is indeed the leading actor.But the male lead in a female movie?No matter how good his performance is, it is not enough to be compared with the leading actors in other movies, let alone his image in it is a husband who is unfaithful to his marriage, which does not conform to the values promoted by Oscar.
Even those in the know know that as long as Vogt Peston nominates for Best Supporting Actor, he can win the award. On the premise that he still nominates for Best Actor, but for other awards, he nominates for Best Supporting Actor... It's not because it's intentional. What?
He clearly insisted on going against Oscar!
That being the case, Oscar will not be polite!
So it turned out that Vogt wasn't even nominated for Best Actor.
Oscar is ready to start a public opinion war with Vogt.The media with a keen sense of smell are all excited, gearing up to add fuel to the flames...
Vogt exclaimed: "Great! No need to go back!" After coming out publicly, Vogt and Jack no longer had to meet secretly.Jack is going to film "Love and Elixir" with Anne Hathaway in Pittsburgh. Vogt, who has no new film for the time being, flies to visit the set in a fair manner, and helps Jack into the film by the way-he thinks it is difficult for Jack to produce a boyish Anne "love".With him as a legitimate lover, Jack's acting in a romantic drama should be smoother.
As for why the Best Actor was awarded, but not the Best Supporting Actor?Are you going to fight against Oscar?
Vogt was at a loss: "Huh? What are you talking about? Why can't I understand? Important awards, I hope to start with the best actor, my Golden Globe Award is like this. In the past few years, I have applied for the Oscar. Is it a nomination for best actor, is it strange to continue to nominate this year?" His expression said, "Is it really strange that you are making such a fuss", which made the questioner extremely embarrassed.But Vogt is still very pleased: "Obviously, they adopted my opinion. That's right, if you don't give an award, why don't you nominate it, so as to save me a trip in vain. Even if this is a special treatment for me alone, I Very happy too!"
The media looking forward to the big news:...
The Oscar Organizing Committee, which has infinite conspiracy theories, is on the verge of a formidable enemy: ...
Leonardo, who has been upset with the Oscars for a long time: "Hahahahaha!" He has decided not to attend this year's Oscars ceremony. He wants to invite friends and friends to visit Vogt in Pittsburgh and find a reason to hold it on the night of the Oscars. Party, media invited live!
(The distance between these two Oscar statuettes is still very, very far. As for whether they will become unrare because they have not been able to get them all the time, and then pull everyone to be unrare, this is unknown.)
2. See my father
The first time Jack meets Vogt's father, Helmut Pfister, is ignored.
This middle-aged handsome man with a knife-sharpened silhouette, majestic and sexual restraint is tall and strong, with a gloomy and stern aura, and his gaze is full of the coldness and ruthlessness of the capitalist's inorganic nature. Standing in front of him, people feel fear and wish to He fell to the ground and kissed the toe of his shoe.
And he was looking at Vogt, a deep anger creeping up his tense face.
"Hi, Father." Vogt greeted without pressure, not at all like a son who hasn't seen his father for more than four years.Although he smiled, there was not much emotion in his eyes.
"get..."
"Hey, Vogt, Jack, you're here!" Vogt's mother, Lin Minjia, exclaimed in surprise, and warmly walked over to hug her son and his lover.
Vogt's face changed immediately, becoming sincere and tender, and he hugged his mother affectionately.
"Honey, Vogue is back, don't be so stern. Here, let me introduce you, this is Jack." Annie happily took her husband's arm with one hand, and took Jack with the other to introduce: "Jack, this is Vogue's Father, Helmut, you can call him Hel."
Jack felt that he had heard correctly. What Mr. Helmut Pfister wanted to say just now was definitely "fuck off" without any sympathy.
However, if Jack were him, he would probably have the same attitude - facing a young son who has been keen to make him angry, has not returned home for four years, and has just come out of the closet.
Thinking of Vogt's triumphantly bragging about his 20-plus-year battle of wits with this gentleman—it's a sad thing to have a bad son.Jack felt sympathetic, and smiled politely and obediently: "Hi, Mr. Pfister, I'm Jack, Vogue's... friend."
Annie and Vogt looked at him in amazement.
Helmut Feist paused for a moment, his face seemed even more terrifying.
Jack looked at Vogt inexplicably: Did I do something wrong?
Vogt: All right.
The atmosphere was a bit stiff, Anne said: "Jack, don't be afraid, Vogel's father has facial muscle emotion expression failure disorder, he stared at you but actually smiled at you, he was actually smiling at you with no expression on his face, he..."
"Anne," said Helmut Pfister.It still looked cold and heartless, but Jack could hear a little... helplessness?
"Haha, facial muscle emotion failure syndrome, hahaha!" the unfilial son Vogt laughed unceremoniously.
Helmut Pfister kicked without warning, and kicked Vogt to the ground quickly and accurately.The strength Jack felt pain watching, and Vogt said that his father had served in the army should be true.
"Hey, old man, you're cheating!" But Vogt was obviously used to it, and he stood up.
Helmut Pfister twisted up his collar and dragged it in a certain direction without saying a word.Vogt struggled and twisted, but couldn't break free.
"Oh, dear, take it easy, there's a visitor," Annie called.
"Yes." Helmut Pfister nodded arrogantly.
"Hehe, actually, their father and son have a very good relationship. Every time I stay with Hull, Vogel becomes three years old." Annie said with a nonchalant smile, winking at Jack: "Okay, anyway, remember what I said Hull is not difficult to get along with, he just hopes Vogel and the others can behave."
"I...understand," Jack said dryly.He couldn't see Helmut Pfister's "not difficult to get along with" at all.
But soon Jack really understood what Annie meant.
Christmas is a big party for the Pfister family.The entire Pfister family gathered at the German patriarch's house, that is, the Vogt's house, to attend the banquet.
As the patriarch of the Feist family, Helmut Pfister is the man at the top of the pyramid.He is gloomy and terrifying, with an overwhelming aura, and the rest of the Pfister family only follow him.His wife, Anne Pfister, was an impeccable lady, leading the conversation and demeanor of the family members present in every move.Their three sons are lined up, each with its own characteristics, and the degree of excellence can steadily overwhelm the other peers present.
This is a really big family with a deep heritage, and the complexity of people's hearts is beyond imagination.
Originally Vogt didn't want Jack to participate in this kind of banquet, but Jack wanted to see it, so Vogt let him.The news of Vogt and Jack's public coming out has already been known in Germany.They didn't dare to say Vogt, so they couldn't avoid making fun of Jack to test the patriarch's attitude.Then Jack saw Vogt's aggressiveness for the first time. He made people feel ashamed with a few words, and he was very arrogant and venomous, and he was not polite.
"This is the direction of my training. I don't like intrigue, so I am arrogant and direct, selfish and willful." Vogt blinked: "If it weren't for my mother and grandmother, I wouldn't want to stay in this house at all."
Jack could imagine that, with Vogt's artist temper, it must have felt suffocating in such an environment.
Fortunately, Vogt is the youngest son and has two older brothers on his head.The eldest brother Andrew is [-] points like Helmut Feist and is willing to take over his father's position in the future. The second brother Ludwig is only [-] points like him, and he is also very shrewd and capable.They were more satisfied and valued by Helmut Feist.
At formal dinners, the Vogts would appear distinguished and respectful, but private meals with the family were much better.Annie returned to her original nature, talking and laughing like a lark, Ludwig and Vogt echoed her the most, and the whole table was naturally lively.
But Helmut Pfister always maintained an appearance of wanting to throw Vogt out anytime and anywhere. In order to make Vogt feel better, Jack behaved quite well in front of this father, and every time the other party Glancing over from the corner of his eye, Jack quickly gave him a peaceful smile.
In the end Vogt and Jack walked out of Pfister's gate alive.
Annie was very reluctant to part with Jack: "Hull likes you very much, come back with Vogel when you have time." She said and handed Jack an envelope: "Please be sure to accept the gift from our family. You can directly mention it if it is less than 1000 million."
Jack, who didn't feel that he was liked at all, took the envelope in a daze: "Huh?" What 1000 million?
"Show me?" Vogt held out his hand.
Jack gave it to him immediately.Vogt opened it and saw that it was a check, specially for Helmut Pfister.
"Oh, I'm the son, or Jack is the son!" Vogt couldn't help but say.
"If you were as good as Jack." Annie patted him and said angrily, "Be nicer to your father."
Vogt muttered something inaudible.
"It's too expensive, I can't accept it." Jack was taken aback by the generosity, and quickly declined.
"It's okay, accept it. This is a red envelope, a family tradition. If you don't accept it, it will be an insult to our family." Vogt said.
Jack rolled his eyes.so serious?
"Has such a tradition in Germany?"
"Chinese tradition. My grandmother's family gave it like this." Vogt said with certainty.The first time his mother took his father home, the red envelope, a check for 1000 million, handed out by his grandmother Lin Chuchu, immediately shocked his father who was born in aristocratic family.So Helmut Pfister mistakenly identified this as a Chinese tradition.His mother, Lin Minjia, is of Chinese descent, and Helmut supported his wife, so naturally he was not stingy with 1000 million.Changing Vogt will definitely not have this kind of treatment.
It is rare for an unfilial son who can beat his father to say that he should not do it for nothing.
And... Vogt squints at Jack to see if he's taken aback.
Jack was indeed shocked: "Mr. Pfister... really likes me?"
"Hmm." Vogt nodded.Helmut Pfister's biggest miss in this life is to have a soft little daughter like his mother.It's a pity that all three of them are brats.The eldest brother is like him, and his personality and temper are almost printed out of the mold, which is as unpleasant as him.The second brother is cunning, and he is best at obedience and disobedience.Well, he won't mention it.Anyway, no one is obedient and obedient.Jack is the first fair-skinned, beautiful, docile and well-behaved child who is not afraid of him, and he is similar to the image of the little girl in his heart, no wonder he secretly likes it.
"He's not against us?" Jack asked.
Vogt was taken aback: "It's useless for him to object, I don't care."
"However, it's better not to object." Jack held his hand.In any case, he wants to get the understanding of both parents, after all, they are the closest family members.
"No wonder you're so good..." Vogt couldn't help kissing him.Helmut Pfister was naturally arrogant, and it was hard for Jack to stand him.
"He's your father." Respect is due.
"……thanks."
"You're welcome."
3. Qiantu
Vogt has never worried about money since he was a child, except for a short period of time when he broke up with his first love and flew to New York alone.He never runs out of money.
Firstly, it was because he was not a big spender, and secondly, someone always gave him money for no apparent reason.
For example, relatives and friends on my father's side basically send gifts to him every time.
Because the patriarch Helmut Pfister's preference is a mystery, he has so much prestige that no one dares to give it away.The patriarch's wife has the patriarch as her backer. She has never seen such a fine product, and she would be ashamed if she gave it away.The eldest son of the patriarch, Andrew, has the same style as his father.The patriarch's second son, Ludwig, is not slippery, and his preferences are unpredictable.In contrast, although the younger son Vogt is also very smart, he is relatively self-willed and simple.So many years later, Vogt's safe contains famous watches, famous car keys, checks, cash, etc., all of which he can use later.
The truth is, Vogt's father and two older brothers are masters at making money, but Vogt is obviously lacking in this area.Unanimously worried about his father and brother who will be poor in the future, they made a decision and let him accept the gift.After all, gift giving is more about asking for help.The patriarch's family has a rigorous style of work. The father and son are tight-knit, but when the water is clear, there will be no fish. If it is too tight, it will appear unreasonable, so it is necessary to leave a small mouth for the convenience of others.The third son with no business acumen became the best candidate.I don't know how to make money with money, but at least I have some valuable assets, which can be sold and exchanged for emergency if necessary.
Vogt doesn't even have to worry about which gifts he can accept and which ones he can't. He has his own butler to help him sort out them.Vogt only had to sign when the butler told him the safe was full and needed another one.
After Vogt was full, he still didn't use the contents of the safe, because it was unnecessary.It wasn't until his second brother said that he needed a sum of money to invest in the project that Vogt remembered, and then: "Here."
The second brother returned it to him three times.
Another example is the Peston family.
Vogt has no specialties since he was a child except for his talent in acting, and he has psychological problems, so he is very disgusted with becoming an actor.The family has already determined that he is the life of Mi Chong.Although the family can afford it, the Peston family is worried that he will have to rely on others for a living because of his lack of ability, so they usually take care of him more or less.
They are all generous under the affluence, but they can't stand the crowd, and everyone is moving quietly to avoid unnecessary quarrels and troubles.So little Vogt always received the most candy toys and the thickest red envelopes every time he went to Peston's house.
The cousins of the same generation are still children, so they are naturally jealous.Vogt waved his small hand and sent them all out.He is tender and old-hearted, why would he fall in love with such a child's thing?
The things the parents sent out came back intact, and occasionally there were more. When the parents asked, the children said so and so, and the parents sighed: "He is a generous and good boy." Being so careless is even more worrying. , by the way
