Chapter Twenty-Three: Mom is Mighty!

Sally shook her head with a smile and said, "If you don't explain, you will understand slowly." I'm in favor of her studying for a while, and if there is a suitable opportunity, I will recommend her to audition for some film crews, let her stay with me, and by the way, let my mother help you check whether she is worthy of my son. ”

The more Jerry listened, the more confused he became, "Do you need to keep Mira by your side?

After speaking, Jerry's face was a little bitter, "Dear mother, your son finally said goodbye to his single life, are you sure you want to take Mila away from me?"

Sally touched his hair dotingly, and said with a smile: "Don't be so pitiful, I know best how good my son is, otherwise my mother will introduce you to a girlfriend?"

You kid don't have to be funny, you haven't had a humor cell since you were a child, I'm thinking about how your character can act in a comedy well. Okay, I'm not going to tease you, I'm going to get down to business. ”

Putting away her smile, Sally said: "Mila suddenly had the idea of studying, I guess you must have come into contact with other girls again, and this girl must be more famous than Mila in the entertainment industry, and her family background is better than her, which has caused great pressure on Mira, prompting her to make changes, or temporarily forbearance and retreat."

It's your business, mom doesn't interfere with your privacy, but I can tell you for sure that Mira's choice stems from insecurity, and obviously you can't give her shelter yourself. That's the end of the topic, let's talk about your movie. ”

His mother's words poured into Jerry's heart like a huge wave, making his heart fluctuate and his heart shake, and it was difficult to calm down for a long time.

Indeed, he is still too weak to shelter his own woman.

With Mira's fame and her own conditions, it is not difficult to continue to take on films, but it is certain that she will be invited to participate in small-budget independent films or art films.

NC-17 Art Film?

At this moment, Jerry finally understood what his mother really meant when she said that "Mira made a smart decision".

Even though Jerry didn't want to admit it, he was really hit at this point, he was in a very bad mood, and he was silent and didn't want to speak.

In front of his mother Sally, Jerry did not hide his thoughts, so his face was ugly.

Sally gently hugged his shoulder, let him lean on his shoulder, and said with pity: "Baby, do you know that the name 'Jerry' was given to you by your mother? Your grandfather once wanted to replace it and name you after him, but I disagreed, insisted on calling you Jerry, my mother actually didn't want you to be like your father, and you have been burdened with the family burden of your grandchildren since you were a child." ”

Affectionately stroking Jerry's face, Sally continued: "Jerry, you don't need to put too much pressure on yourself, you are still very young, no matter what industry you want to work in, your mother will support you."

Actually, I don't agree with you going on the road of being an actor, although you have an amazing appearance, you are too handsome, and you are the pride of your mother.

The competition in Hollywood is very fierce, acting is also very hard, and life is too tiring, so I asked you to go to Harvard University before to make your life easier in the future. ”

Jerry was touched when he heard this, but he had his own persistence and goals.

"It's my own choice, I think I can do the best I can, and in the future you will be proud of your son's choice today, Mom. ”

Sally turned her head to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said with a smile: "No matter what choice you make, Mom is a word, I support you." So, let's talk about the film you spent more than $20 million on it.

This is all the entrepreneurial funds that your grandfather gave you, and when you make money in the future, you have to pay back the principal and interest at the bank interest rate, if you lose, your third uncle is your role model, obediently go back to follow your grandfather's arrangement, go to overseas management branches, and can't come back a few times a year.

Your third uncle has been traveling overseas for more than ten years, and it was not until the year before last that he finally survived and returned to New York to represent his family as a director of Bank of America. ”

It was the first time Jerry had heard that the start-up fund provided by the family had to be repaid, and he was surprised: "Oh my God! Is it repaid like a bank loan?

Sally smiled disapprenorantly: "Return the entrepreneurship fund before the age of thirty, this is the rule set by your grandfather, the family foundation management team has an accounting list, if you can't repay it within the time limit, your investment project will be forcibly withdrawn by the family, which means that you have failed to start a business and lost the right to choose an independent life, and the family will arrange it in the future."

Therefore, the age of thirty is a hurdle, and whether you can be free depends on whether you can prove your ability before this hurdle comes. ”

Jerry was surprised: "Grandpa didn't tell me, and no one asked me to sign a property accounting contract!"

"Hehehe!"

Sally laughed happily, "It seems that your grandfather is really partial to you, and actually gave you such lenient conditions, if I guessed correctly, you are still too young, so your grandfather acquiesced in the grace of you for three years, and during this period of time, you will not be charged interest on the loan, and when you are twenty-one years old, the family management team will go to you to sign." ”

"I see. Jerry breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "The conditions are not bad, if I don't ask my grandfather to borrow some more money, I will definitely pay back a lot of money with interest in ten years." Hehehe!"

Sally was amused by him and patted him on the shoulder, "I think about beautiful things, you think that the family's liquidity is inexhaustible, so I advise you to die as soon as possible."

The family member entrepreneurship fund is a reserve fund deliberately withheld by your grandfather, and other than that, he has not as much money at his disposal as you think. Jerry, you're off topic and talking about your movie. ”

Jerry felt it easy to talk to his mother, Sally, because she was a good mother who was completely child-centered and really doted on Jerry to the core.

"The filming went very smoothly, and now the filming is temporarily suspended during the holiday to save costs, and it will continue after the year, and it is expected to be completed in March."

Now, in addition to pondering my acting skills, I am thinking about the release of the movie, and I don't have a clue yet, so I can only watch it while walking. ”

Sally laughed from ear to ear, but Jerry thought she was smiling a little weirdly, as if she was scheming against others.

Sure enough, Sally's next words confirmed Jerry's suspicions.

"Baby, you can find your godmother for movie distribution problems, you shouldn't forget about her, right?

Hearing "Godmother", Jerry's mind conjured up a shrewd and capable figure.

"Huh, Aunt Shirley!"

Sally reacted violently when she heard this: "That's right, it's that vixen! My name is Sally, and her name is Sally, the difference is that there is a sally and a snow, and your father taught me these two Chinese characters back then."

She robbed me of the man, and I won, put on my wedding dress and walked into the church with your father, but that vixen was secretly dating your father behind her back, and she thought I didn't know, but in fact I knew it all right, and I didn't settle accounts with her just to save your father's face.

But I only won the beginning, and after less than three years of marriage to your father, he had an accident and left me, but luckily I still have you with me, otherwise I don't know if I would have collapsed.

Shirley's vixen also has deep feelings for your father, after your father left, she was sad for a long time, and she didn't marry for more than ten years, until she got married four years ago and gave birth to a child, it's really dangerous for an older woman to have a baby, I used to stay with her in the hospital for three days, fortunately, there was no danger. ”

For the first time, Jerry knew that Aunt Shirley, his best friend of his mother Sally, had been her rival in love, and he almost pried his mother's corner.

Sally knew what he was thinking when she saw the expression on his face, and couldn't help but explain shyly: "She is ten years younger than me, I was in my thirties when I married your father, and she was in her twentieth year, which caused me a lot of pressure.

So I've been calling her a little vixen all these years, this is learned from your aunt, Shirley's nickname was first called by your aunt, I think it's very good, it's very in line with Shirley's actions back then, she doesn't want to get rid of this nickname in her life. ”

It's rare to see his mother so happy, and Jerry knows that his mother and Aunt Shirley have a very good relationship.

The origin of "godmother" is also Shirley's self-proclaimed name after her father's death, in fact, Jerry has always called her Aunt Shirley after remembering, but in recent years, she has met Jerry very rarely, so much so that Jerry has forgotten her.

"Aunt Shirley will help me release the movie?"

Jerry said with some worry: "An investment of tens of millions is not a child's play, if the conditions are too harsh and not good for both parties, the friendship of more than ten years may come to an end." ”

Sally nodded thoughtfully: "That's right, this thing is like the Franklin that your grandfather lent you, it is only enough to use once, if it succeeds, it is good, it is beneficial to both parties, if it fails, it will be difficult to have a chance to cooperate in the future."

In this way, don't come forward, after all, you will inevitably have to deal with her in the future, I will contact her, anyway, I am not afraid that she will turn her face. ”

"Isn't this good? Affection is thinner than paper, in case you have a stiff relationship with her, what a pity it is to have a friendship for decades. Jerry hesitated.

Sally smiled casually, "Bastard boy, dare to look down on me, you are easy to provoke as a mother?" she dares not to give me face, I will embarrass her even more, for the sake of my precious son, this friendship can be put aside for the time being, there is still a friendship when the matter is resolved, if it is not done well, I will break off her friendship!"

Sally's tone was resolute when she spoke, showing the strong demeanor of a strong woman in the mall, and Jerry was in a trance for a while, and secretly said, "Mommy is mighty!" and then he took his mother Sally's arm and laughed, and his mood was extremely smooth.
