Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Great Director
Subtitle of this chapter: Whoever makes me pretend to be unforgiving, Lao Tzu will ......
Master Yuan was rare to be stubborn once, and the master ball system really shut up. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Well, since you want to pretend to be forced, you have to pretend to be a high-level force. Yuan Yanqian intends to start with the international situation after World War I, especially the economic situation of the major powers, and then explain his views on the future development of the United States and Wall Street, and finally talk about the specific measures for the commercialization of pensions and social security funds.
He didn't believe that after hearing this, the third richest man in the United States in front of him would not appreciate him.
Our Master Yuan did not forget to nod to his classmates first to express his gratitude. Then he coughed lightly and said in a deep and deep voice, "Mr. Baker, in fact, it is not a unique opinion. It's just that I think the world today is ............"
"Mr. Baker, I've finally met you!"
Just when Yuan Yanqian was about to pretend to be a very critical critical force, someone suddenly intervened.
Mr. George Baker was also stunned and looked up at the rude fellow. He didn't get up or stretch out his hand, but frowned and asked, "I'm sorry, you are ......"
A middle-aged man dressed as an ancient Egyptian pharaoh eagerly said, "I'm David W-Griffith from Los Angeles." I came to New York to ......."
What's going on?!
Our Master Yuan was so angry that he really wanted to jump up from the sofa and slap the Egyptian pharaoh's head! However, when he thought that he was in public, in front of the third richest man in the United States, he had to endure it and pretend to be indifferent.
The Wall Street Miracle also interrupted him in a very dissatisfied tone: "Mr. Griffith, I'm sorry, I'm not available right now!" ”
The Egyptian pharaoh bowed his body and said with a humble expression: "Mr. Baker, I really can't delay you for a few minutes. I just wanted to talk to you about the loan, and if you read my proposal, you'll know ......."
Mr. George Baker raised his right hand and said with a more gloomy face: "This kind of thing is left to the business department." And today is a private occasion, no business. ”
The middle-aged man still didn't know what to do, and said reluctantly: "But ......"
Yuan Yanqian, who was getting more and more impatient, scolded in her heart, this damn guy is still endless?! Is this going to cut off my comprador ...... the road to "American Partner"?!
He couldn't help but look left and right to find the man in black, what about the bodyguards, where are the bodyguards of the third richest man in the United States?!
It's a pity that the security of the United States in 1920 has not yet reached the point where it is out of control, and even Wall Street bigwigs like Mr. George Baker are not used to going out with bodyguards.
In fact, the banker had a really good temper, and it was not for the big capitalist to brag, but all those who had worked with Mr. Baker agreed that he was a good-hearted old man.
Mr. George Baker was unhappy, but he did not want to make a big deal out of the guests. So he saw that the guy in front of him was difficult to get rid of, so he had to say lightly: "I'm tired, I want to take a rest." ”
As he spoke, he stood up, and his grandson and Yuan Yanqian naturally followed suit.
The Wall Street boss patted the Chinese on the shoulder and said, "Neo, I'm glad to know a Chinese like you." We'll have a good chat next time, and I'm looking forward to your insights. ”
Since this is the case, our Master Yuan had no choice but to squeeze out a smile and say, "Thank you, I am also looking forward to your comments." ”
"Louis, treat Mr. Yuan for me. Well, this young lady, gentlemen......"
One of the three giants of the American financial industry nodded to a few people around him, and walked away in style.
What David Griffith still wanted to follow, but was blocked by two young people, especially the very strangely dressed Chinese with an angry face, looking like he was going to eat himself.
The Egyptian pharaoh sighed and lowered his head, his shoulders lowered, and whispered, "I'm sorry." ”
Yuan Yanqian is going to blow up, excuse me? A word of sorry and that's it! Is it true that if a big man like George Baker says "next time", there will really be a "next time"?
What is this David Griffith...... Hey, there is also a beautiful woman dressed as Cleopatra next to him, and this beauty is actually a little familiar......
What kind of beauty is not beautiful, what about the familiar face, in short, he is a big bastard who disturbs his own good things, Lao Tzu doesn't let him taste "Chinese-Kungfu", then he won't have a surname......
Wait, his last name is Griffith, and his name is David?!
Yuan Yanqian saw that these two "ancient Egyptians" were about to leave, and involuntarily shouted: "Wait, you are Mr. David Griffith?" ”
When Pharaoh of Egypt heard this, he turned and replied, "Yes, I am." Sorry I was rude just now......"
Hey, if you're really that David Griffith...... So what's not rude.
Our Master Yuan's originally gloomy face that was about to drip water instantly became rainy, and he smiled and asked softly, "Then may I ask if "The Birth of a Nation" is your work?" ”
"Yes."
Yuan Yanqian looked at his female companion carefully and asked, "Then this must be Lilian?" Ms. Lillian-Diana-Gish? ”
Cleopatra also nodded and said, "Yes." ”
Don't look at this, David Griffiths can't talk to George Baker, one of the Big Three on Wall Street, but the fame of these two in later generations, the former is far from ...... And one more is much higher than the latter. Especially for movie lovers, if you haven't watched "The Birth of a Nation" and don't know who the director of this epoch-making masterpiece is, then don't lick your face and say that you love movies, go home and watch "Little Times".
Shot in 1915, it not only set the stage for feature-length films (films over 60 minutes long) for the future, but it was also the first blockbuster film in the history of cinema to grossing more than $10 million (more than $200 million 100 years later) at a cost of "a meas" $500,000!
As the director of "The Birth of a Nation", David Griffiths, the "teacher of all (Chaplin's words)", has a place in the history of cinema. If you want to make a comparison with the world of economics, he can be called the Adam Smith of the film industry, and Keynes can't take his turn.
If you want to compare it with the directors of a hundred years later, then Spielberg, who represents the groundbreaking of film technology, James Cameron, who has strong commercial box office appeal, and Martin Sicorsese, who is the art of cinema itself, these three great directors are tied together and can almost be compared to him.
Of course, as his chief queen actress, Lillian? Miss Gish is placed in Hollywood a hundred years later, and her coffee position is equivalent to Julia Roberts, Kate Winslet, Anne Hathaway, Nicole Kidman, Big Cousin, Black Widow and other A-list superstars. And her acting skills are not inferior to Aunt Meryl Streep, who won the Oscar. Well, maybe a little worse than that Jenny-Jane. (Author's note: It may be the best online article that takes the route of a Hollywood actor so far, the heroine of "Dominating Hollywood")
Pity...... It's 1920, and Wall Street bankers don't even want to show these two good looks. If this scene hadn't been seen by Yuan Yanqian with his own eyes, it would have been hard for him to imagine.
Is it impossible for Bill Gai and Warren Buffett to be so cold when they meet the film directors and actors mentioned above, and they will just lift their legs and leave without even doing superficial work.
And at this moment, our Master Yuan only has eight words in his heart, treat fruit fans well...... Well, if you lose the east, you will reap the mulberry elm!
