0244 Scenery and lake fishing
The advance ticket office and the first-day box office gave the Fox father and son a good experience, an experience that made clean money easily, and they were also sought after by the stars and producers in the society.
Compared to the simple increase in wealth, the latter is actually what they enjoy the most, because they can finally proudly tell others that they have stepped on the first step to high society.
It won't be long before their father and son become members of high society.
It's actually a very strange ...... Culture, or thought, in the Byle Federation, most people strive for wealth and money, but if you want to find a goal and ideal that is similar to theirs, perhaps being in high society is the only one.
There are many young and beautiful ladies who easily take off their clothes with titles similar to sluts, just to squeeze into the upper class social circle in the name of "courtesan".
It's a strange yearning, but it's the ultimate goal of most Federalistsβto spend all day wandering among dignitaries and celebrities, talking and laughing with them, and it seems like the best thing to do.
The former Fox father and son may have had this idea, which is why Mr. Fox would send his children to school, but they realized the reality that even if little Fox completed his education, it would be difficult for him to enter that world without a great background, so he returned to Mr. Fox to work in the "family business".
But now, everything has changed, they're walking on the red carpet, bathing in the scorching light of the spotlights, they're talking and laughing with people, they're laughing because of their humor that might not be funny, and it's all really amazing!
In addition to all this, the feedback after the full release of the movie is really surprising.
Judging from the current trend of box office and word-of-mouth, perhaps this movie has the possibility of a big hit, although many critics scolded this movie, but they still can't resist the alternative temptation of word of mouth.
Looking at the body of a female star is an irresistible temptation for many fans, even if they know that this female star may not be famous, but they still can't stop their desire to find out.
The box office is also rising, and along with it, the production company is holding five shooting agreements in their hands, and according to Lynch's tricks to the Fox father and son, even if they have agreements with other adult film producers in the early stage, they must sign a ladder agreement, or a gambling agreement, to ensure their own interests.
The father and son and the heroine were in full swing, and in the next three days, the box office data was released, and they suddenly became the most popular people in Raltimore.
Every day, different producers, production companies, directors, screenwriters, and even actresses come into their rooms with various materials to ask for help.
From a small production investment of a few thousand dollars, to experiencing a different flavor in exchange for an uncertain commitment, everyone reaps the rewards of this investment.
The success at the box office opened the way for the distribution company to go further, and after negotiations with the Fox father and son, they decided to add 350,000 federal soles for a larger promotion.
In order to make the propaganda more effective, they came up with some unprecedented, but full of temptation little tricks.
For example, picking a lucky audience to have dinner with the heroine, or even enjoying a dance art full of art but not suitable for minors to watch, etc., which directly detonated a special group.
In order to meet the heroine, some people plan to spend all the funds that do not affect their lives to buy movie tickets repeatedly, and these are finally put into the pockets of Fox and Lynch.
The three days passed quickly, and the whole Laltimore went crazy because of this movie, which in the eyes of some people was completely vulgar and bad, and some capital began to tentatively start to make selective investments, and the whole Laltimo came alive all of a sudden.
"Federal Film" published such an article called "Vulgar Times".
β...... Even though we know it's just a nasty movie to satisfy the lustful maniac, you have to admit that it activates the entire federal film industry. β
"More and more film projects are starting to contact capital, and some projects are officially established and casting, which reminds me of Raltimo five years ago, when the streets were full of all kinds of cameras and crews, and the shooting of movies has been integrated into people's lives and into people's blood. β
"I'm so glad that the life we're used to is back!"
"I'm also sad, because no one knows whether the next era will be art or vulgar!"
While the Foxes were immersed in the life that they and the entire Federation longed for, Lynch had quietly returned to Sabin, where he was not needed and there was nothing else for him to do.
The first thing he did when he returned to Sabine was to ask Joe Griman out.
Joe Gleeman's distrust from the branch and headquarters has greatly curtailed his power, making him almost a marginal member of the bank.
In the old days, everyone who worked at a bank would take the initiative to greet him when they saw him, and a simple "good morning, Mr. Joe Gryman" would make him feel better.
But now no one was willing to greet him, even the people who came on, most of them lowered their heads or looked away, even if they couldn't avoid Joe Gleeman's gaze, at most they nodded in greeting, even if it was hasty.
This kind of gap makes him feel very uncomfortable, just because some people think he is doing well, and others want to suppress him, which sounds funny, doesn't it?
But for a "little person" like him, this is also a fate that he has no choice but to bear.
The two made an appointment next to the villa located by the lake, and since the general strike, their family has moved to the villa by the lake, and many people suddenly appeared in the originally deserted villa area, and it became lively.
Many of the wealthy people have moved here in case they have hired a fully armed security guard for the community service company to keep them safe.
In fact, there is a deeper meaning in this, if some special circumstances really happen, they can let the security guards directly kill the intruder, and then with their connections in society, it is easy to suppress these things.
The two met in the afternoon, and when Lynch met Joe Greenman, he was fishing on the lake, and he looked ...... Full of twilight, like a retired old man, he begins to kill boring time, and then waits to grow old and die.
"Fishing is a lot of fun!", Joe Griman said without looking back at the footsteps, his eyes fixed on the slightly rippling water, "You know that the fish are at their fattest at this time, and they accumulate fat throughout the fall, allowing fish oil to penetrate into their every muscle. β
Lynch stepped aside and looked at the water, but his heart didn't have the slightest wave, "I thought you wouldn't like to eat freshwater fish, I don't know what fish are here, but I know that freshwater fish have a lot of spines." β
Joe Gleeman didn't care about fixing the rod, he stood up and moved his shoulders, "My maid will help me pick out the spines, so for me freshwater fish, saltwater fish, they don't make any difference. β
After a pause, the nonsense of the greetings was finished, and Joe Griman asked Lynch directly about his intentions, "Tell me, is there anything I can help with?", he turned to look at Lynch, "But you know, my value is limited now, if I can't help you anything, I'm sorry, let you run for nothing." β
Lynch shook his head, "Can you help me with this, didn't you say last time that the branch arranged an assistant for you?"
As soon as he heard Lynch ask, Joe Greenman's expression changed slightly, he forcibly suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, nodded and asked, "Yes, do you want his contact information?"
Lynch could tell from his words that he was unhappy with his question, of course, Lynch didn't immediately show some kind of antagonism, he just smiled and said, "No, you misunderstood my purpose, I want to ask you, why do you think he can't be on your side?"
Joe Griman almost blurted out, "He's the ...... sent against me from above"
Lynch nodded noncommittally, "There are no permanent enemies, only eternal interests, Mr. Joe Gryman, my friend. β
"If you don't try, you won't get anything, but if you try, there's at least one possibility, you say?"
After Joe Gleeman gave Lynch a few deep looks, he skipped the topic that had taken root in his heart, "Tell me about your purpose, maybe I can help you." β
Lynch no longer went around in circles, "The Ristian Group will definitely not be able to leave, I will find a way to promote this matter, and I have also reached some kind of agreement with some people, when the time comes, a part of all the properties of Ristian will be auctioned to raise some compensation to compensate for the workers who have lost their ability to live and work due to work-related injuries over the years." β
"I want to make sure that the auction price is not too high and that I am the only one who wins the auction. β
Joe Griman frowned, in the Bylor Federation, judicial auctions are basically contracted to banks, and it is not easy for the court to interfere in these matters to avoid fraud.
Originally, he could control these things, but now his power is hollowed out, and his assistant does not nod and agree, and many things cannot be done.
The expression on Joe Gleeman's face became more and more solemn, and he thought for a long time, and shook his head, "I have hinted at something, you know, but his attitude is very tough, I think maybe the upper authorities want him to take my place now." β
If the bank branch really had such an idea and arrangement, it would be an absolute joke to woo him.
Lynch was not too surprised, he put it another way, "If you can't win him over, can't you destroy him?"
"Everybody has weaknesses, and there are weaknesses that can put people on your side because you can help them make up for those weaknesses. β
"But there are also weaknesses that you use to destroy. β
He glanced at the lake that suddenly made waves, "Your fish bites!"
