Blackstone Code Chapter 145: Who is happy who knows
The poker game he saw before Lynch's arrival was actually Mr. Fox's deliberate "losing" behavior to pass the time. Simply put, he united some ordinary old men by losing money. by his side.
Some people may think that this is actually a sign of loneliness, and that Mr. Fox is a poor old man who has few friends.
But think about it from a different standpoint, at least he still has money....
Lynch saw it right at a glance. It is not normal for a person who deals with money all day and is not a good person in the strict sense to be able to lose without much chips in front of him.
He also doesn't think Mr. Fox is pitiful. Maybe in Mr. Fox's heart, those who play with him and take advantage of him are pitiful. At least he won't give up his life for a tiny bit of money. The most expensive time as the price.
People often say that money can't buy happiness. Lynch felt that Mr. Fox was very happy just now, the kind of sitting behind the scenes that made those old men think they had found an "honest guy", but turned out to be a hooker. Happiness they cannot experience.
The two sat on the rattan chair for a while talking and laughing. The open-air platform was exposed to the wind and the sun, and sometimes there was even worse weather. Leather sofas or fabric sofas would break in less than half a year. On the contrary, the rattan chair can last longer and has some cultural flavor, which is more suitable for it.
Basically, people are like this. Once they meet the most basic needs in terms of wealth, they begin to pursue spiritual satisfaction, and the pursuit of cultural satisfaction is a more suitable way for the public.
"I heard from other places that you found a script." Lynch took a sip of the coffee brought by the servant. In fact, many young people like him prefer to drink juice, because the juice is sour sweet.
But the real Lynch is not a young man. He has passed the age where he likes sweet and sour. This kind of taste can't attract him. On the contrary, some bitter but sweet taste makes him more fascinated.
Mr. Fox nodded, "You know, my **** son is a college student..." He said that little Fox was a bastard, but the glory on his face betrayed his heart, "He One of my alumni found him and offered him this script, which Fox Jr. found interesting, so why not give him a try?"
Lynch can understand this feeling of being a father. In fact, every father hopes that his child can walk on a bright road, even the leader of a crime family will have this idea.
He nodded, "I talked about this at dinner with the mayor at night. He agreed to give us a financial subsidy. I can't guarantee the exact amount. I ask for as much as possible."
"Also, you can go to the Social Service Bureau to apply for assistance, and they will arrange special staff to cooperate with your filming work."
Mr. Fox froze for a moment, then thanked Lynch, "You are a good man, Lynch!"
"We are friends, and friends should help each other, don't you think?"
Mr. Fox didn't hesitate, "You're right, Lynch friend!"
Maybe it was because Lynch's arrival distracted Little Fox, or maybe he wanted to know Lynch's opinion and find a sense of identity. Not long after, he took the script to the platform on the second floor and handed it over to him. To Lynch, "Would you like to see the script, if there are no surprises, this is the first movie we've made."
Fox and his son set up a "Fox Pictures" company, in which Lynch also invested some money, accounting for 30% of the shares.
Originally, he meant to take 10% of the shares, but the father and son were very enthusiastic and insisted on giving him 30%. For this reason, Lynch paid an extra 300,000 yuan (not yet available) account, but it will always arrive), the father and son of Gou Ri!
In view of his attitude of being responsible for his own money, he took it seriously. Thanks to his previous experience and experience, he also has a certain connection with this business that makes quick money.
Looking at Lynch's eyebrows, the eyebrows are not so honestly raised. This is a very common road thriller romance film. It may be a bit of a mouthful, but at present this kind of film belongs to the kind of more common mainstream movies.
Before there is a faster way of moving, people often choose to take a car to travel between different cities. First, the cost of taking a car is lower than that of taking a train, and it is also more free. As we all know, Freedom is what is written into the charter, and the federal people are full of freedom in their bones.
People love roads, the beauty and poetry of driving towards the bright red setting sun on the setting Gobi Desert, so road films have always been popular, and the low cost of shooting is one of the reasons.
But this script..., Lynch is not optimistic, a woman's car broke down, and then took a ride in the car of a perverted killer. What's even more outrageous is that this woman was injured and tortured. She fell in love with this perverted killer, thus completing the inexplicable redemption, allowing the perverted killer to return to normal and voluntarily surrender, and she also gave birth to a child for the perverted killer.
The thriller is definitely not the atmosphere, but the head of the writer. Lynch put the script down, he added some body language on his arm, trying to find a relatively peaceful word, but he failed.
"I don't know how to describe it..."
Little Fox may be wrong, "Are you also shocked by it?"
Lynch glanced at Mr. Fox, who seemed to be looking at him seriously, wanting to get some reference value from him, he frowned, "Maybe I don't understand the deeper meaning of this script, But I know it's not a script I like, and I wouldn't pay for it to get into the theater."
Little Fox had a look of disbelief on his face, "It's a very good script with a lot of metaphors in it, don't you see that it actually has something to do with some religious stories?"
Next, Little Fox began to explain to Lynch what a certain passage in the script represented, what kind of metaphors were behind it, and at the same time alluded to other things. In his description and commentary, the script was deeper. Something is shown.
In fact, this script, like the author, lacks some people who can clearly interpret it, which also makes a lot of interesting and deeper content not discovered by people.
However, Lynch is not very interested in this. "Entertainment pursues happiness, not making people think. That is what philosophy can make people do."
"Audiences don't pay a few bucks to take the family and sit in a movie theater for an hour or two to think why this is why, that's why, they just want to be happy, and it's just that I don't find the slightest bit of it in you. happiness.”
"It may make you feel a little sad to say that, but I have to say how I feel because I'm also responsible for my money."
Mr. Fox always has a smile on his face. He doesn't know much about movies, but he understands what is interesting and what is not, and he doesn't think it's a good story. But these college students thought it was great.
He was absolutely incompetent as a father, so he hoped to somehow make up for what little Fox lacked, and instead of saying it was bad, he kept silent.
If Mr. Fox prevented Mr. Fox from making this script, it might not be too effective, but Lynch is different. From a certain point of view, Mr. Fox admires Lynch more than Mr. Fox, at least their father and son. People are transformed into successful people with Lynch's help, and this is just one small step in Lynch's own plan.
"Is it really that bad?" He began to come out in a frenzy, and also vaguely felt that it was really a little... bad?
"Take it out and show it to people on the road who have nothing to do with this matter, and they will tell you the truest side!"
Little Fox left feeling uncomfortable, but Mr. Fox asked, "Do you have any good suggestions?"
This question made Lynch a little puzzled, "What are you talking about?"
"The script, the story of the movie!", Mr. Fox continued, "In fact, he has rented the entire set of things needed to shoot the movie. The prices of these things are really not cheap. The renter also said that even if we don't use it, There will be no refunds..."
In these days of economic downturn, it is absolutely impossible to get a refund~IndoMTL.com~ Some people may say that it is only two or three hundred thousand or three or five million. If you can't refund it, you can't refund it, Fox Father and son make so much money, do you still care about this money?
Perhaps this was the case when the economy was good, but now the economy is bad and things are not the same.
Besides, these things are not sold to them, even if they can't be returned, they can still keep things. These things are rented. After the time limit in the contract, they will be returned to the lessor. Not a single hair will fall.
Originally, Mr. Fox's intention was to make little Fox suffer a loss. He always felt that this society was very simple, and even thought that even if they didn't take the current path, they would still be able to get ahead.
If Lynch didn't know about this, then everything would go according to Mr. Fox's plan, the filming was completed, and then the release failed. Little Fox recognized the complexity of society and the correctness of Mr. Fox's experience. The relationship between father and son is positively helpful.
But now not only Lynch knows, but the mayor also knows, so if this matter is done as he originally planned, it is possible that not only Little Fox will suffer, but even he will " suffer".
People will see the birth of a big joke, this is not the plot of Mr. Fox, the old fox's plan, he must save it.
Just as Lynch was about to say that he was powerless, he suddenly remembered that the truck driver had told him that there was an idiot named James in the team who would often write something that could be sold to a film company or a union. Maybe he would have a solution?
