Hollywood superstar XX history [travel]

"Close your eyes, don't open them," Vogt said, looking at him while taking Jack's hand.

"I didn't open my eyes." Jack said with the corners of his lips curled up and eyes closed: "There's no need to repeat your thousand and one time."

Vogt chuckled, and carefully led Jack forward: "There are steps ahead, take your time. One step, two steps..."

Jack listened to him with interest.He felt that Vogt had brought him into a closed space, where the air was stagnant, cold, and filled with a faint smell of paint and furniture.He heard Vogt open and close the door, lead him up the steps, and Vogt pushed him down in a chair that was wide and comfortable enough for two—a lovers seat.

Jack sort of guessed where Vogt had taken him.

"Okay, you can open your eyes now," Vogt announced.

Jack slowly opened his eyes, as expected, this is the projection hall of a movie theater.This auditorium is spacious and has a large screen. It is estimated that movies of various formats can be played, but there are surprisingly few seats. There are only about [-] seats, which are distributed in the middle area opposite the screen - the viewing effect is the best. good area.And he was sitting in the first row in the center of this area, the only seat for lovers.

"What's going on?" Jack looked at Vogt.

Vogt's eyes sparkled, and he said proudly: "This is my birthday present to you! The name of this screening hall is 'vock', and it belongs to the two of us! We can book a movie here in the future!"

"Oh, Jesus!" Jack's blue eyes widened in surprise, looking at Vogt in disbelief.

"Do you like it?" Vogt asked impatiently.

Jack nodded vigorously: "I like it! It's so cool! Thank you, Vogt!" He hooked Vogt's neck, leaned forward and bit his lip.

Vogt supported his waist, bit back very rudely, and said vaguely, "Hey, buddy, you're really addicted to biting..."

Jack laughed mischievously.

The two quarreled in the lovers' seat for a while. Jack was overwhelmed by the excitement, and his sanity returned a little. He pushed Vogt: "How did you come up with this idea? What's going on with this screening hall? Did it cost a lot of money?" He He touched Vogt's face with some distress. He knew Vogt's financial situation very well.Vogt’s family is rich, but he has a lot of backbone, and he relies on himself to make money when he becomes independent. Some time ago, Vogt’s father published in the newspaper that he wanted to separate from Vogt’s father-son relationship (although it was quickly revoked) which angered Vogt. Te's mother, who ran away from home in a rage and came to Los Angeles.In order to coax his wife back and bribe Vogt, Vogt's father wrote a check, but Vogt rejected it sternly, and later sued his mother, causing a lot of trouble.

Regardless, Vogt's self-reliance is something to be encouraged.Jack doesn't want to see the person he likes is a rich dude who has left the family and is worthless.Jack is not a person who is extravagant and wasteful, and he usually doesn't spend much when they are together.

Getting the right to name the screening hall and booking a movie is romantic enough, but Jack has to worry about Vogt's wallet.

Vogt smiled triumphantly, and said in a mysterious tone as he unwrapped a present: "Actually, this movie theater is mine!"

Jack opened his mouth wide: "Huh?" Where did you get the money?

Vogt crossed his legs and shook his hands behind his head: "It's my angel investment!"

The so-called angel investment is a form of equity capital investment as well as a form of venture capital. It refers to a one-off initial investment made by wealthy individuals to assist original projects or small start-ups with specialized technologies or unique concepts.Angel investment is very popular in the United States, and has formed an industry chain with quite promising prospects and mature operations.

Jack raised his eyebrows: "Be more specific." They have been a couple for a while, and Jack still has a basic understanding of Vogt.His lover can be said to be extremely talented in acting, but when it comes to business talent, he is definitely in a state of weakness.If Vogt's finances hadn't been handed over to his cousin, he didn't know how much property he would have swallowed up. Vogt had no idea how much money he had.

Now suddenly saying that owning a movie theater involves such a lofty concept as angel investment, Jack feels that it is very strange.

"Well, in real terms, I only have 50% of the equity in this movie theater. But this screening hall belongs to me completely, which is what I agreed with Ryan." Vogt said.

Jack: "Who's Ryan?"

"I've always wanted to have a movie theater that belongs to us." Vogt shook Jack's hand, talking about the idea he started to have after "Brokeback Mountain" was blocked: "On the one hand, we can show it in this movie theater." The movies we make, no matter what the subject matter is, whether they sell well or not, no one can say 'no' to our movies. On the other hand, we can watch movies together like an ordinary couple, without bringing Sunglasses and masks, dressed like a stalker... When our achievements are so great that others can't hurt us, we will come out and tell everyone that this screening room is exclusive to us, and the name is me and your name The combination of..."

"Oh, Vogue..." Jack sighed with emotion, and couldn't help showing a gentle smile.He didn't expect Vogt to think so much about their future, and he did.Vogt was young, and Jack didn't put any pressure on him. He just wanted to be happy together when he liked each other, and we'll talk about it later.After all, in addition to love, they also have jobs, ideals, and families. The road of homosexuality is not easy.Now Jack finds that maybe he really underestimated Vogt, his lover is mature and serious enough to treat feelings.

However, what Vogt said next made Jack almost retract the exclamation he just had just produced—even if he didn’t retract it, he would have to add another sentence: mature is indeed mature, but childish is still maddening!

Vogt said: "Ryan is my fan! He wrote me and said he was super into me. When "Brokeback Mountain" came out, he flew to Los Angeles to see it because the movie was banned in his state of Utah. He was so pissed off. Because of this, he wanted to open a movie theater just to show my movies!" He loved reading fan letters, and reading Lane's letter was a treasure trove because he happened to have the same Thoughts, a letter from Lane was tantamount to sending pillows from sleepiness.

Jack began to have an ominous premonition: "And then?"

Vogt snapped his fingers: "I gave him $50 and let him play freely."

Jack looked at Vogt with a pleading expression of "Praise me, praise me", and asked blankly, "Give it unconditionally? No meeting? No signing? No follow-up?"

Vogt: "..."

Jack looked at him.

Vogt blinked and argued in a low voice: "...he sent me the contract last month! He is very grateful for my trust in him. With the start-up funds I gave him, he has the conditions to realize his ideals , so he gave me 50.00% of the shares, saying it was the proceeds..." Seeing Jack with a stiff face, he added: "Now Ryan has more than 30 movie theaters in his hands, and he is planning to buy a movie theater. If he succeeds Yes, we will hold more than 80 movie theaters in just over a year! According to this development speed, Ryan is very confident that the four major movie theaters in the United States will become the top five in the future. My investment dividends are very considerable..."

Jack was completely stunned, and after a long, long silence, he asked quietly, "How lucky do you have to be to meet such an upright person..." Meeting the remaining one percent under the premise that 90.00% nine is a scam .Should I say...do stupid people have stupid blessings?

Vogt raised his chin: "Kevin is so envious of me!" Vogt smiled happily when he remembered how Kevin looked at him like a fool at the beginning after he knew about it, and now he was stunned.

"Where did you get 50?"

Says Vogt: "Saved pocket money growing up."

That is to say, all the money.

Jack was silent again.

Vogt touched his chin and said seriously, "Actually, I think I have a very good investment vision."

Jack mumbled something.

Vogt: "What?"

Jack said very seriously: "If we live together in the future, you must hand over all the money to me."
