Chapter 618: The Great Elder Dies
A week after Dean Morgan and Li Fuzhen were married, Henry Steyth Morgan fell, and the only surviving star member of the four generations of the family who once crisscrossed Wall Street was about to come to an end.
"Dean, I'm going to see the patriarch of the family, don't be sad, don't be sad, remember what I said.
After I leave, this manor will be left to you, make a thought, I still have tens of millions of savings, I won't give it to you, you have a family to take care of me, I am very relieved, all this money will be handed over to the family! Everything comes from the family and belongs to the family! Let people invite the patriarch, his wife and the young patriarch, and I will say goodbye to them!"
Henry Wise Morgan looked at Dean Morgan weakly while lying on the bed, and closed his eyes slightly after speaking. He was so tired and wanted to get some rest!
Old Morgan, Mrs. Morgan, and John put down their work after receiving the notice and rushed over, and saw Henry Stewyth Morgan lying on the bed, even Mrs. Morgan, who was usually unhappy with him, was a little sad at this time.
"Second uncle, I'm here!"
Old Morgan sat on the edge of the bed and screamed softly.
Henry Stockwise Morgan barely opened his eyes and reached out to take the elder Morgan's hand. "I'm going to see the patriarch of the family, I can't accompany you anymore, you have to go by yourself in the future, I have done a lot of things in my life, and the most satisfying thing is to choose an heir with unlimited potential for the family, I am very relieved about the future of the family, and I also have the face to meet the patriarchs of the family!
After I left, I was buried next to Lola, I haven't seen her for decades, and I want to be with her!"
Henry Stockwise Morgan finished speaking, looked at John on the side of old Morgan and smiled. "JK, I believe that you will be able to lead the family to achieve your own glory, you are the best family member I have ever seen, please take care of Dean more in the future!"
"I will, Great Elder rest assured!"
"Yes!"
Henry Stockwise Morgan smiled and closed his eyes when he heard John's promise, and the last star of the four generations of the Morgan family had fallen.
Old Morgan closed his eyes sadly after reaching out to Henry Sterwise Morgan when he was not breathing, and then took off Henry Sterwise Morgan's identity tag with his own hands!
When a family member dies, the identity tag is taken off and handed to the goldsmith to engrave the time of birth and death, and then an all-powerful eye is engraved before it is put back on the deceased member and buried in the grave together!
In addition, whenever the great elder of the family dies, a sword will be buried in the coffin, and the great elder is the defender of the family rules, so only he and other elders are qualified to hold the sword and be buried!
Of course, this sword is not an ordinary sword, this saber is a treasure made by dozens of craftsmen of the Morgan family, the blade is sharp, the hilt is made of ivory, engraved with the Morgan family emblem, the sword sleeve is made of pure gold, engraved with exquisite patterns, inlaid with six rubies and three sapphires, priceless, the entire Morgan family can only enjoy such treatment. The swords of the other ordinary elders were not of such high specification, only two rubies and one sapphire. However, even if it is an ordinary elder's sword, it is worth a fortune if it is taken out casually.
Henry Sterwise Morgan, as the previous elder of the Morgan family, naturally received the highest funeral rites for the family members, and after the body was placed in the church to be seen by everyone, he was buried next to his wife!
…………
After Henry Steyth Morgan's funeral, Dean Morgan and Li Fuzhen gathered up their grief and threw themselves into a new job, and the four generations of the Morgan family became history, and the future belongs to them!
John also started to work, arranged the affairs of the family, and he returned to Hollywood, "The Matrix" is still in theaters, but it has already been squeezed off the box office list by several subsequent blockbusters, and the box office is slowly approaching 250 million US dollars with a box office of several million dollars a day, and foreign countries have also begun to release one after another, and the global box office has reached 340 million US dollars, which is bright enough for an R-rated film!
For John, the past belongs to history, and "The Matrix" can turn the page, and he has to prepare for next year's movie.
John's next film is going to shoot the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, and the copyright of "The Lord of the Rings" was bought by John for many years, and the reason why he started shooting at this time is because John feels that after the accumulation of several films, he can now control this movie.
The reason why Peter Fat Man put "The Lord of the Rings" in New Zealand is not because the scenery in New Zealand is beautiful, and there is no such scenery in the United States, but because Peter Fat Man is a New Zealand native and wants to use the blockbuster "The Lord of the Rings" to promote his country. But the effect is good, after "The Lord of the Rings" came out, New Zealand became famous and became a movie tourist destination.
It is impossible for John to go to New Zealand to shoot, it is very troublesome for him to go abroad, and he does not have so much time to stay in New Zealand, and as the administrator of the United States, it is impossible for him to leave the United States without propaganda and go to New Zealand to wave the flag for others! Besides, the United States is vast and sparsely populated, and its natural scenery is no worse than that of New Zealand.
Isn't the Antelope Cave beautiful? Isn't Bryce Canyon beautiful? Isn't Grand Teton National Park beautiful? Isn't Yosemite National Park beautiful? There is no land in more than 9 million square kilometers, and there are only more than 200,000 square kilometers of natural scenery in New Zealand? No one believes this kind of thing!
So it's impossible for John to go to New Zealand to shoot "The Lord of the Rings"!
As soon as John returned to Crown, he held a production meeting to select locations across the United States, and then asked the set team to build the castle and other buildings from The Lord of the Rings! Then let the props team make props, the process is very long, it takes one to two years to complete, in the previous life Peter Fat Man prepared for 6 years to start shooting, of course, he spent more than 3 years on the script, which John took advantage of, but the location production and props production John can't take advantage of it, those castle village props need to be made one by one, there is no shortcut!
After the production meeting, John returned to New York, in order to save the pain of traveling between the two places, John set up the Lord of the Rings Studio in New York, specializing in the production of "The Lord of the Rings", the new line has a branch in New York, which is used to produce TV series, so it is easy for John to find an office area, and it is better to let others run around than to run alone.
