Xiangjiang old events [entertainment circle]

Of course, even if there is such a good thing in the world, there must be a certain price accordingly.

"This is a greeting from the dead."

On the fluorescent screen, the elderly man in his dying years introduced himself and said that he and Brewster's grandmother are brother and sister, so he is the one in the Brewster family who fell out with the family and ran away from home for many years without hearing from him. Everyone thought he was the uncle who died outside.

"But in fact, I outlived all of them, except you." The uncle simply said that after he had a falling out with his family, he took a boat to the western United States in a fit of anger, and then stared at the screen again. outside.

In other words, through time and space, borrowing the traces of light and shadow left by technology, he conducted an inspection of himself, the only descendant, from the boss.

"Unfortunately, I was very disappointed when I learned that you, a low-level actor, are my only heir." Although the uncle seemed to be still smiling, his tone hurt Brewster in an extremely mocking way, "But Unfortunately, even if I don't want to admit it, I have only one choice."

The actor of the uncle is Zhong Jingwei, an old drama player invited by Su Yun through his relationship, a legendary master who once studied at the Yale School of Drama as a Chinese and obtained a master of fine arts.

This is not the era in which dubbing is used by all the people in the future, so that those few dubbing actors rotate back and forth in dozens of episodes.

For the time being, except that translation and dubbing can only be used if the regional language of the screening area is different, the rest all follow such an underlying rule: even if it is technically impossible to synchronize the radio, it must be used as much as possible in the later stage. Original cast.

Most of the well-known awards, the most important thing for their selection is the need for the original voice of the actors-because the line skills are also included in one of the factors in the evaluation of acting skills.

Therefore, if Su Yun wanted to make a co-production film mainly in English and aimed at the European and American markets, she had to find as many actors who could speak fluent English lines as possible.

Fortunately, due to historical reasons, English is the common language in Xiangjiang these days, and those bigwigs who have studied abroad can generally speak relatively fluent English.

Moreover, after Zhong Jingwei returned to Xiangjiang, he has been doing stage work all the time. Not only did he take on the dual roles of director and actor, but he also did a very good job... According to Su Yun's memory, in a few years, the Hong Kong Academy of Performing Arts When the School of Drama was founded, he was the founding dean and honorary fellow.

If you want to coordinate the development of the entertainment industry in a region, in addition to planning for the present and the future, you must also do a good job in the storage and management of future human resources.

Maybe she will be able to become an honorary academician by then!

Su Yun was also very satisfied with the homework given by an old drama player like Zhong Jingwei. Taught him as a child that smoking cigars was bad for his health, and locked him in a closet with nothing but a pile of cigars and a box of matches.

He was not allowed to come out until he had smoked all the cigars in it.

From then on, my uncle, who was tortured by cigars for a round, never touched cigars for the rest of his life.

"Although we met in this way for the first time, maybe we can have some fun in the air... At that time, my father taught me a good lesson, so as an elder, I will also teach me like him. Take a good lesson." Uncle stared at the screen grimly, "You left your hometown in pursuit of fame and money, abandoned your family and friends who love you, and came to this distant country—then, I want to make you tired of money , to make you hate the feeling of spending money!"

Speaking of this, the "joy" in the mouth of this uncle has finally revealed its true face.

Uncle gave Brewster two choices: Either spend 30 million US dollars within 3000 days, and if he succeeds, he will inherit a huge inheritance of 3 million US dollars; if he loses, he will return to his original form with nothing; , Take the inheritance of 100 million US dollars and leave, and the rest of the inheritance will be handled by the law firm he has been cooperating with, and a certain management fee will be charged for charitable purposes.

And in the challenge of spending 30 million US dollars within 3000 days, there are also many restrictions and rules: all must be spent within the agreed time, but no assets can be left on the notarization day 30 days later; the price cannot be increased indiscriminately Buy things of inconsistent value or hire people, and you can’t use gifts to buy luxury goods such as houses, cars, and jewelry. Except for the 5% that can be used for charity and the 5% that can be used for entertainment in casinos, the rest of the money must be used for real purposes ...

Not to mention buying a bunch of expensive works of art and collections and destroying them casually—once such acts of destroying works of art are discovered, the bet will be terminated immediately, and the notary referee who looks like a financial elite in charge of will affairs will directly announce He failed the challenge.

And the most important point is that this bet cannot be told to anyone, even if a little information is revealed to others, the bet will be terminated immediately and the challenge qualification will be disqualified.

"Why can't I tell my friends?" Brewster asked rhetorically.

"I knew you would think so - because when I was in the closet with cigar matches, no one could help me!" Uncle answered Brewster's doubts in the video, and then seemed to send Whisperingly whispered, "I've never had any friends..."

At this moment, Brewster felt a strange feeling in a trance: his uncle, who is known as one of the richest people in the United States, seemed... not as happy as he imagined?

No, how is it possible?

How can you be unhappy with so much money?How could it be possible to have no friends?

A young man like him who is so poor that he can't even pay next month's rent is very happy when he is drinking and bragging with his friends-even though he wakes up the next day and has to continue to worry about bills and livelihood.

But the joy of talking about dreams the night before was not an illusion in the dream.

"Okay, Brewster, do you have the courage to challenge?" The voice of the old man on the screen interrupted Brewster's thoughts.

"This is the $100 million that your uncle arranged." With the end of the video, the two persons in charge of the law firm opened the box they brought over, and the box full of US dollars inside was flashing in and out of the scene. All eyes.

"Oh my God, I've never seen so much money!" After all, it was a movie theater in a slum area, and many audience members who were shocked by the money immediately uttered the same exclamation as the protagonist in the play.

"It's hard to spend that much money without leaving any assets. No one will blame you for rejecting this weird bet. If you want, you can walk away with this 100 million." Law Firm The two responsible persons persuaded in harmony.

"I don't!" Brewster changed his gaffe when he was shocked by 100 million before, and chose to challenge without hesitation, "This is my uncle's money - I want to challenge to get the 3 million!"

This rare arrogance caused many younger audiences to cheer: "Good job! That's how it should be!"

Of course, the audience looked very happy, but the protagonist in the play pretended to be cool for a while and implemented a crematorium: the law firm sent him a paralegal from the accounting department to record his expenses and receipts within 30 days.

Originally, the audience was upset that there was a staff member next to the protagonist who was in charge of accounts, but as the door opened, the assistant Woods, who was dressed in a dull dark professional suit and big black-rimmed glasses, couldn't hide his good looks, instantly It illuminated the hearts of many viewers.

"Hello, Mr. Brewster, I'm Ellie Woods, and I belong to the accounting department of this law firm." Of course, Assistant Woods didn't know the inside story of the bet, but only learned the "reason" for his visit this time. It was arranged to be a temporary assistant for a month to a lucky man who had just inherited a tax-free inheritance of 3000 million US dollars.

On the way to check the money at the bank next door with his good friend Spike, who was also stunned by the 3000 million inheritance, Brewster was so excited that he could hardly control his hands and feet: "Brother, trust me, the next I might be crazy for a while...but I'm not, and I'll explain it all to you in a month's time!"

"What? What on earth are you talking about..." Before Spike finished speaking in a daze, his gaze was once again stunned by the neatly folded hills of banknotes in the room.

And the next behavior of Brewster fully confirmed the incoherent comment in the old Chinese saying: He first rejected the bank manager's offer to let him continue to save money in this bank, and promised that he would be able to get up to 24 yuan every year. The suggestion of [-]% annual interest rate; and then, in turn, forced the bank to transfer the money to an ordinary account without any interest. It is best because depositing so much money consumes bank resources and requires regular custody fees. and overhead kind of...

The bank manager was stunned for a second by this strange thinking that was rarely seen in a millennium, and then he woke up instantly, and hurriedly agreed.

As for the problem that this newly promoted rich man who has just inherited a huge inheritance is likely to be out of his mind, as an excellent bank manager, he doesn't need to pay attention to it.

"You just gave up the net interest of 720 million per year!" Assistant Woods reminded loudly in disbelief.

"Just because I have money doesn't mean I need to take advantage of others, right?" Perhaps it is the filter of money that blinds people. From on-screen to off-screen, Brewster's words aroused echoes and approval Voices.

"If only one day, I can have the confidence to say that like him." Adam, a group of young people from the slums looked at the screen, dumbfounded and fascinated.

Afterwards, Brewster hired the private detective who was sent to take pictures and monitor him with a weekly salary of 1 US dollars. Not to mention; and because he wanted to withdraw a large amount of cash and take it out of the house, he fired on the spot. Ten times the salary, the security team and the security captain who guarded the warehouse in the bank were poached to be his personal bodyguard...

When he went out to the street, Brewster seemed to remember something.

After searching all over his body, he couldn't find any money, and then found that there was only a hundred-dollar bill beside him, so he had no choice but to borrow a coin from Assistant Woods next to him to make a public phone call.

As soon as the phone was connected, the manager who had had a fight with him before scolded him: "Where did you go? Hurry up and pack your things and pay the rent - I paid it for you, so you come back quickly Give me back my $200!"

"Calm down, listen to me, I'm here in New York, I just inherited $3000 million and I'm planning to go back and buy our theater!" Brewster replied.

There was silence on the phone for a while, and then there was a mess of voices: "You... Could it be that you couldn't bear the stimulus of unemployment, so you knocked something that shouldn't be?"
