Chapter Forty-Nine: The Battle of the Son

Because the film received rave reviews in the days after its screening and the contract for the distribution was in hand, Sony took advantage of the situation, not only helping "This Man from Earth" win the Jury Prize at the South by Southwest Film Conference, but also announcing their release plan in a high-profile manner, so that North American audiences can watch this unique independent film on the big screen in major theaters in the summer.

The movies that he worked so hard to shoot, it stands to reason that the directors will treat them like their own children, "This Man is from the Earth" will soon be released in front of audiences all over the world, Liang Baoguang should be both excited and suffering from gains and losses at this time, and it is right to sing "Worried" more than ten or twenty times a day, but the truth is the opposite, he directly kicked the movie aside and was busy with other things.

Professional things must be handed over to professional people to do, this is the concept that Liang Gesheng has been adhering to for so many years, Liang Baoguang as his son inherited this very well, whether it is the advance announcement or the film arrangement, he will not participate, and is ready to be completely released to Sony classic movies to operate. For Liang Baoguang, the box office results of "This Man from Earth" have little to do with him, anyway, he can't get any money, even if it is very popular, it will help him increase his reputation with major producers at most, but he is still an independent filmmaker, and he doesn't care too much about these.

"Mom, you're going to do something, but you really went to the bank for a loan?" Liang Baoguang almost didn't spray the food in his mouth on the table when he heard the news, he never understood his mother, he couldn't understand her thoughts when he was a child, and now he can't keep up with her train of thought. This time, he went back to New York to prepare for the second wave of publicity for the newly founded Twitter company, which was already busy enough, but Yun Jingyi still had nothing to do to help him find something to do.

"Originally, I wanted to directly help you borrow 100 million, but unfortunately the face was not big enough, and I only got a low-interest loan of 30 million US dollars, which is for one year." Although she behaved lightly in front of her son, Yun Jingyi did not hesitate to mortgage her house in New York to the bank in order to borrow the money smoothly.

If there are still people who can't see the situation clearly in 2006, but after the first fiscal quarter of 2007 has passed, almost everyone can see that the momentum of the U.S. financial market is not right, and the investment banks have a lot of unequal information. ā€

"Mom, let's stop making trouble, it's really appropriate to just quote a tenfold return?" Liang Baoguang suddenly felt a lot of pressure on his body, and it would definitely not work if he didn't play after the money was borrowed, otherwise according to the principle of the time value of money, he would suffer considerable losses every day that passed. But what about joining the ranks of players? Holding these 30 million can only be a small fight, and there is no way to make waves on Wall Street, where there are huge crocodiles, "If you lose it all, won't you even have a place to live, so trust me so much?" ā€

"You are my son, who can I trust if I don't trust you?" Yun Jingyi's expression was a little indifferent, although 30 million US dollars is an astronomical amount for most people, but for her, it is only three and a half years of salary. Besides, she didn't believe that Liang Baoguang would miss easily, she had already seen it in the past few years, and her son's talent and ability in this area could not be inferred by common sense, "Mom is optimistic about you." ā€

Unlike the education MBA from Chicago Business School, Harvard's MBA is all practical, from admission to graduation, almost every class is analyzing cases, and there will be practical assignments every semester, Liang Baoguang still has some self-confidence, but it is not good to talk too much, so he spread his hands, "This kind of thing is not who is good and who can make money, otherwise the honesty in our college would have ruled North America long ago." ā€

"It's okay, if you lose all your money, I'll rely on you, didn't you open a new social software development company, just go to be your CFO." Although the situation in the United States is different, when the women of the Celestial Empire reach Yun Jingyi's age, it is already a matter of course to eat their sons and drink their sons.

"But don't, our temple is too small to accommodate your great god." Yun Jingyi is the CFO of NEE New Energy, and can rank among the top ten working queens in New York, compared to the super giant energy group with a market value of tens of billions of dollars, the current Twitter package is only a few million dollars, and the total assets are less than her annual income, where will she pay her salary when the time comes.

"If you don't go, you won't go, the $300 million just now was just what my mother said to play, don't be too stressed, just play casually this time." Don't we all talk about that in the Celestial Empire, what is it called...... That's right, it's called paying tuition. Yun Jingyi raised her glass and touched the glass with her son, and took a sip of champagne representing victory with a smile, the reason why she wanted to do this could not be a whim, but intended to compete with her husband.

When Liang Baoguang was studying in South Korea, he was indeed by Liang Gesheng's side, but Liang Gesheng is not only a father, but also the eldest brother of hundreds of core brothers, and he doesn't have much time to spend with his son; Liang Baoguang has been studying in the United States for several years, and it is true that she is also by Yun Jingyi's side, but she is not only a mother, she also has hundreds of employees in the financial department and a lot of company accounts to deal with, and she does not have much time to spend with her son. On this point alone, it seems that both husband and wife are not very qualified in terms of parenthood.

Now that Liang Baoguang has grown up and is already starting his own business, this is a crucial stage for him to determine his life path and choose a place to settle, whether it is Liang Gesheng as a father or Yun Jingyi as a mother, they want to keep him by his side. Liang Gesheng bought the theater chain MegaBox in order to let his son concentrate on playing movies and stay in Seoul, while Yun Jingyi gave him a loan to encourage him to enter Wall Street, also to let him engage in stock investment and stay in New York to settle down.

Although Liang Baoguang's attitude towards his parents is not completely understood, he is more or less aware of their intentions, but the palms and backs of his hands are full of meat, and it is not suitable for him to choose which side directly, so he can only pretend to be stupid and go back and forth between New York and Seoul.

When he arrived in New York, of course, it was impossible to ignore the beauty, and after having dinner with his mother, Liang Baoguang slipped away to Scarlett Johansson's residence to kiss the beauty Fangze, because "The Nanny Diary" itself was filmed in New York, and the filming of the movie has ended, so they have time together.

Scarlett Johansson is not always the one who wins, she has become a paper tiger after returning to normal life, and today she has played abnormally and softened into noodles, "Natalie suddenly called us just now, and now that the matter is done, you won't reply?" ā€

When Fang was in a trance, Liang Baoguang's phone suddenly rang, almost causing him to lose the city gate and lose his face on the spot, and after seeing that it was Natalie Portman calling, he pressed the mute and threw the phone aside. Scarlett Johansson didn't say anything at the time, but now she must figure it out, their relationship is just FriendswithBenefitsYes, she has no position to care about Liang Baoguang's life, but women are naturally jealous, and being unreasonable is also a privilege given to them by God.

"My relationship with her is a career, a business." Liang Baoguang didn't do anything wrong, so naturally there was nothing to avoid, so he directly took his mobile phone and dialed it back, "Natalie, do you have something to look for me?" ā€

"Yes, you didn't tell me the last time we were together, and you also have a film that participated in the selection of the Cannes Film Festival, you are not honest enough." Natalie Portman also waited until the shortlist for the competition unit of the Cannes Film Festival came out to find out that the director of the movie "Miryang" was actually Liang Baoguang, and she always thought that Liang Bao only made one "This Man is from Earth", because he didn't even mention it to "Secret ***".

Liang Baoguang can only say that everything is the choice of the Gate of the Stone of Destiny, he didn't have much hope for "Miryang" before, but after the shortlist of the Cannes Film Festival came out, he found out that he was actually shortlisted. Although being shortlisted is not the same as winning an award, the main competition unit only selects the 20 best films of the year, which is already a great affirmation, "I'm just lucky, the film is actually very immature." ā€

Liang Baoguang is really lucky, "Miryang" is a masterpiece, but there are also many problems, the reason why it can win the favor of the Cannes Film Festival jury is because the theme of the 2007 Cannes Film Festival is "Concern for Women", and "Miryang" has done the ultimate in this regard.

2007 was the most ferocious year for feminists in Europe, the women of the Ukrainian big wave organization went to the government door shirtless to show their chest muscles, while the women in Germany demanded that the German Ministry of Education change the grammar of the idiomatic words in German that all use masculine words, and the French women were not far behind, and if they went out to call their brother to open the door or move the salute, they could call the company to complain that they had been sized...... Therefore, "Miryang" can stand out from 2,000 movies, and the background of the times has played a very big role.

"I'll just ask you if you have any other plans, if not, we'll go to Cannes this year, and I happen to be in New York and haven't booked a flight yet." Natalie Portman doesn't know why, but she has a desire to give Liang Baoguang a try, which is likely related to her Jewish ancestry, and Jews' natural instincts for investment will let them know what kind of effort is rewarded.

"Okay, I can't ask for it." Liang Baoguang is not stupid, Natalie Portman has a very wide network at the French Film Festival.
