Xiangjiang old events [entertainment circle]

Although it was vaguely spoiled by the movie time, it is impossible for the male protagonist to successfully complete the bet in less than half of the time, but the ending of more money spent is really not something that people in this era can think of all at once.

"We helped him make so much money, why does he look like we lost most of his net worth?" Facing Brewster's black face, the three of Spike, who were puzzled, were almost on the verge of discussing whether to hire him. A psychiatrist...

This scene, probably only the audience who knows the inside story, can't help but laugh out loud.

After the three of them decided to sell all the shares, clear all the stocks and no longer challenge the game of gambling, Brewster slumped on the chair weakly: "Is there any investment that I can refer to recently?"

"Let's think about it..." Although Woods' assistant was puzzled, he did his due diligence to settle the accounts, while the investment expert was annoyed by Brewster's decision just now, so he went out to calm down, so Spike was the only one left in the room. "I talked to an investment expert before, and he said that things like antiques, precious metals, artwork, and stamps can resist inflation to a certain extent and preserve or appreciate in value..."

The speaker is not interested, but the listener is interested. Later, after the film was translated and broadcast in the mainland, some people with flexible minds paid attention to the deep meaning mentioned in this episode.

In the movie, after hearing these words, the actor Brewster hurried to the collection store and bought a wrong edition stamp "Jenny Upside Down" at a sky-high price of one million dollars.

After being reported by the newspaper, the two heads of the law firm, who were always watching Brewster's words and deeds, laughed secretly: buying collectibles is also an investment. If you lose any other money, you will lose this bet.

Then, the person in charge, who hadn’t finished laughing, received a greeting card from Brewster inviting them to watch the show. The stamp on it seemed to be the same as half of the front page of the newspaper. The image has a similarity of 9.999 points...

"This guy is crazy?!" Looking at the postmark that directly destroyed most of the collection value of this stamp, the two responsible persons were also in a mess: a good rare collection-level stamp with a value of one million was wronged by this stamp. The guy who wasted money took it and sent it out as an ordinary postage stamp!

But this really doesn’t violate the rules—it’s stipulated in the rules that there is a clause that “the value of artworks cannot be deliberately destroyed”...

But postage stamps are originally used to send letters, even if the value has risen from tens of cents to millions of dollars, after it is used for the original purpose of sending letters, its value is the price it represents!

Just inland at the beginning of last year, in order to commemorate the year of Geng Shen, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications issued the first set of stamps in the first round of zodiac stamps - "The Year of Geng Shen" on the day before the first day of the Lunar New Year.

This set of special stamps marked T.46 is commonly known as the "monkey stamp" in the postage stamp collection circle.

In later generations, there are people who got rich because their elders bought monkey tickets. When they were interviewed by reporters, they replied: "My grandfather saw Su Yun's billion-dollar fortune movie back then, and then moved a little bit to collect stamps. ——God, thanks to him thinking about it for a while, it saved me from struggling for a lifetime!"

Su Yun probably didn't expect that such an unintentional act, after the plots of various Hong Kong-produced gambling films asking for her photos to pray for blessings and various examples of unintentionally bringing audiences to invest and make a fortune, it is that The name of her "wealthy girl" has become more and more solid, so that after more than half a century, there are still superstitious people who put her photo on the altar at home to enshrine...

The topic turned back to the plot of the movie. After finding out that he was desperately spending money and ended up spending 3000 million instead of 5000 million, Brewster learned from the pain and began to pay attention to other money-burning projects.

Hearing that Brewster planned to run for mayor of New York City, except for his friend Spike and Assistant Woods, everyone almost thought he was crazy: a Chinese, actually wanted to run for mayor? !

However, in a country where capital is paramount, his glaring 5000 million yuan...maybe, maybe, probably, perhaps, can really produce a miracle?

"He hadn't thought about what he wanted to do before, and now he has finally set a real goal." Compared to the surprise of others, Spike was very pleased.

"I finally understand why he said that before." Seeing that New York was covered with posters of Brewster's headshot after spending a lot of money, Woods' assistant also sighed: she had always thought that Brewster He was a nouveau riche who inherited a huge inheritance and squandered recklessly. Unexpectedly, it turned out that he really had a dream and really wanted to work hard for the people.

However, before the people around him began to try their best to find ways to help canvass for his decision, Brewster had already stood on the podium.

"Why is an actor also elected as the mayor of New York City?" Facing doubts, Brewster displayed his stage play skills that he had studied and practiced for many years, and the voice of one person still shocked the audience, "Your current president, he did not Is he an actor?!"

Hearing this, the audience present really laughed out loud: President Ronald Reagan, who took office last year, was indeed a man who had worked in Hollywood for many years and acted for nearly Cast of 50 films.

Just like after the Watergate incident, some people still dared to raise placards to ridicule Nixon at the live broadcast of the Oscars, the contemporary American people who protect themselves under the banner of freedom of speech have never been in vain of those restrictions on what they dare not say.

I'm not afraid that you dare not speak, but I'm afraid that you can't.

The more cynical the tone that criticizes current politics, the more loved and sought after by the American people who feel uncomfortable without talking about current politics every day...

"Is it reasonable for two of my opponents to spend more than tens of millions to run for a job that pays only $6 a year?"

"Why are they willing to be like me, who has money and has nowhere to spend it, and doesn't care about making money or losing money?"

"Unless this job allows them to get more than what they paid for!"

During the campaign, trying to find the black spots of the opponents to attack them with all their strength is the most common and commonly used method—but what is surprising is that after talking about the corrupt behavior of the two opponents, Brewster changed the subject and opened his mouth He threatened that he participated in the election this time to buy tickets...

"I stand here today, just to appeal to you, don't vote for anyone!" After making a statement saying that he would spare no effort to get the other two opponents elected, he became more and more excited, "this election Please don't support anyone, including me!"

"Who invited you to dinner?"

"Brewster!"

"Who benefited you?"

"Brewster!"

"Who are you running for this election?"

"Choose no one! None of the above!"

"Excellent!" Brewster walked off the podium with satisfaction.

After discovering that Brewster's continuous teasing operations have caused his approval rate to decline day by day, the two opponents who were originally like life and death enemies were finally forced to unite and publicly issued a statement saying that they would sue him for defamation and insulting Candidates and other charges.

Therefore, after receiving the lawyer's letter, Brewster was ecstatic and compensated them with 400 million mental damages.

The one-month deadline was approaching, and when it was discovered that Brewster was really about to spend the nearly doubled 5000 million, the two heads of the law firm became anxious after all.

In order to ensure that they could get the 3 million inheritance, the two responsible persons secretly called the lawyer Warren who was doing the interior decoration for Brewster, and told him the content of the bet—this person did not pay a high salary. He was also one of the new generation of elite lawyers in this law firm before he bowed down and changed jobs.

After making a promise to make him the third partner of the law firm, faced with the proposal from the two persons in charge, "It is only necessary to leave a small, Receipts left unintentionally," Attorney Warren gritted his teeth and nodded.

In the tense expectation of the audience, Brewster, who was about to spend all his money, was very relaxed: the money was almost spent, and his main task next was to show what he had learned on this grandest stage All talent.

The previous performances have been very successful.

After receiving the best preferential treatment and encouragement, his group members almost displayed their talents supernormally on this stage.

The last scene is a solo show by the male lead, using a long monologue to accuse the world of deception and cruelty to people, so the requirements for the leading actor are extremely high; as of now, few Broadway-level troupes can do it perfectly. The actor who performed this last one-man show accurately.

But Brewster has practiced hard countless times in countless late nights when no one is there.

But what's the use?No matter how excellent the skills are, no troupe will let a Chinese actor play this male lead role that is not restricted by race.

Fortunately, he has this windfall, which can fulfill his dream that seems too far away and untouchable.

But when he was about to go on stage, he heard another piece of news: after successfully being elected mayor, he will have an annual salary of 6 US dollars a year-this is also wealth that can be counted as assets.

Turning his mind at will, after performing this extremely difficult one-man show with all his strength, looking at the smiling faces of the audience and hearing the applause from the audience, Brewster suddenly understood that what he was doing now was just a one-man show. joke.

"It turns out that most of you are not here for my performance, but just for 'me'."

"But what I want to show you is the hero in the play, not 'Brewster'..."

"These days, I'm fed up with the bondage of fame and fortune! I'm also fed up with this society where money is paramount!" His eyes wandered over the audience with different expressions, "So I decided to withdraw from this election!"

Who would have guessed?

When among several answers that seem to be correct, a choice that seems outrageous and nonsense suddenly appears, as if it is a funny choice, in fact, many people can't help but want to be cheap. Choose it's...

Infected by this crazy atmosphere, his approval rate was actually the highest among the three!

Fell, agreed to choose no one? !

Shocked by Brewster's fresh, refined and unpretentious ultimate operation, the real-time news tracking report that night also made a special issue for it: "If Brewster really withdraws from the election, according to statistics, he will Bankrupt directly afterwards..."

Probably it really is the peace of the wealthy man. When everyone who does not know the truth believes that he will go bankrupt tomorrow, without those people who are desperately pestering him to ask for money, Brewster feels that he has obtained a rare one in the past month. Peaceful night.

Although Woods' assistant tried his best to dissuade him and even scolded him for violating professional etiquette, he still used the last tens of thousands of dollars to hold a party in the hotel's buffet hall.

From the perspective of this time, he saw another side of those people in the past: the businessman who had seen him from a distance and greeted him with a smiling face hurried past as if he hadn’t seen him; Spike and investment experts launched a fundraiser in the venue Action, wanting to help him make a comeback when he got confused and went wrong for a while; the private detective who has always been loyal to him in the past and kept rainbow farts is holding on to the high salary he paid and refuses to let go, and he is too lazy to donate a penny; The polite old guard in the past still saluted him politely and told him, "I miss your outspoken criticism of politicians very much. I wanted to see what kind of new situation you can bring us, but I hope to respect Your wishes, so I ended up voting 'none of the above'"...

The warmth and coldness of human relationships and the fickleness of the world seemed to have come to him without reservation the night before he and the world were about to lose everything.

Suddenly, Brewster seemed to understand the inadvertent words of his uncle in the video, saying that he had no friends and was lonely when he was alone all his life...

"Didn't you book a concert tonight?" Suddenly remembering that Spike originally planned to hold a super luxurious concert tonight, Brewster couldn't help it when he saw his friends running around the venue. asked a question.

"Don't worry, I've already canceled the concert, we can use the money to buy a hut, enjoy life while fishing..." Before Spike finished speaking, he was hugged by the touched Brewster .

This lesson from the dead, in front of friends who tried their best to help you continue the glory in the good times, and tried their best to help you tide over the difficulties in times of trouble, finally dissected the deepest meaning of it.

If you are rich, don't forget each other; but it is enough to have a confidant in life.

On the last night of Brewster's "rich", Spike sat on the long table in the buffet hall and performed "Honeytakemyhand" which he had planned to use as the finale of the concert.

The deep male voice sang melodious rhyme, and the healing melody and voice seemed to express those yearning for a peaceful and beautiful life. It seemed like a love song, but it was more than the monotonous theme of love.

At the end of this comedy plot that is crazy in the early stage, crazy in the middle stage, and satirizes capital and politics in every way, the brilliance from friendship is so warm and moving.

Knowing that there are still people accompanying him in this cruel world, Brewster, who went to the law firm alone the next day wearing the floral shirt at the time, was very calm and indifferent.

But it seems that some people don't want to see him so calm and indifferent.

Watching the Warren lawyer rushing over in a hurry, apologizing and explaining that he forgot to return the receipt of the furniture deposit during the renovation, so now he insists on stuffing this 2 receipt in his shirt pocket, Brewster Both moved and annoyed.

Moved, naturally felt that this lawyer who I had always considered a scumbag handed over the receipt so honestly; annoyed, of course, when it was less than 5 minutes before the appointed time, this well-intentioned guy who did bad things actually let the original With the winning ticket in hand, I got an extra quota of 2 US dollars for no reason!

Just when Brewster was about to accept the reality and sign the contract to give up the inheritance, Woods' assistant, who had been angered by him before, rushed in suddenly: "Warren deliberately didn't give me the receipt for accounting, because he and The two principals of the law firm have an agreement, and after getting your 3 million inheritance, they will make him the third partner of the law firm!"

"He was waiting for your signature outside just now. I went over to ask out of curiosity, and only then did I know all the truth of the matter..." After she left, she went to check the news of her fiancé Warren, and found that this fiancé was really as Brewster said. After coaxing her to get engaged while still having an affair with his ex-wife, he hurried back.

Just as the ecstatic Warren was secretly delighted outside, after asking curiously, this duplicity scumbag pretended to embrace her affectionately, and explained the truth about why Brewster squandered his inheritance crazily this month.

The scumbag thinks that she has big breasts and no brains, just coaxing her casually, but he doesn't know that although she has not yet obtained a lawyer's license, she will never allow such dirty and dark things to happen in front of her eyes!

In an instant, he was completely moved, and after realizing that the scumbag was always a real scumbag, Brewster, who couldn't control his anger, punched Warren on the spot.

He was fine, and dared to yell when he fell to the ground: "Hit it, see if I don't sue you, I will always owe me money..."

"I need a lawyer now!" Brewster turned to Assistant Woods and shouted.

"She's just an unlicensed paralegal, and she can't file a lawsuit for you at all!" The two heads of the law firm laughed.

"Then you take the money to study for a lawyer's license!" Brewster ignored their ridicule: It doesn't matter when the lawsuit is filed anyway, the important thing is that the money has to be spent.

Assistant Woods understood: "I'll issue you a receipt right away!"

In the race against time, the 2 US dollars that was intentionally left behind was finally successfully emptied.

After confirming that Brewster's challenge was successful, the financial elite notary in charge of adjudicating the whereabouts of the estate turned to look at the two heads of the law firm who were already dumbfounded: "I will apply for people from relevant departments to thoroughly investigate this challenge all the details..."

The segment ended with the figures of the two heads of the law firm collapsing on the ground. After the ending song, the easter egg of Su Yun's cameo came as promised amidst the cheers of the audience.

"I heard that Assistant Woods successfully obtained a lawyer's license with your support?" Spike was still optimistic and talkative, talking to Brewster while walking, "You came this time to fight with your motherland. The research institute over there discusses the issue of investment?"

"Yes, the person in charge of this negotiation is my childhood sweetheart from my hometown..." Just as Brewster was about to introduce, the beautiful figure in a white coat in front had already turned around.

"Hello, I am the person in charge of this research funding investment negotiation. I am currently the first group leader of the Aircraft Design and Engineering Research Institute of Beihang University, Su Yunyun." Su Yun introduced herself with a smile, "Or you can Call me by my English name, Mary Sue."

"Spike...what's your expression?!" Brewster inadvertently caught sight of the stupefied look of his friend from the corner of his eyes, and immediately yelled, "You criticized me before for not coveting other people's fiancées!"

"Did I say that?" Spike looked calm, "No, besides, this is just your childhood sweetheart, not your fiancée."

This ultimate transformation of "I can stab my brother twice" and then "I can stab my brother twice for Mary Sue" really makes people sigh: it turns out that the deep feelings of sharing weal and woe before cannot withstand test……

It's just that the test was not strong enough at that time.

"Hey, it's already over, why don't you leave?" Seeing that Little Leon was still staring at the blacked-out screen, Adam called out inexplicably.

"She's charming, isn't she?" Little Leon returned.

Seeing this cheap little brother speak in a naive childlike voice that their men can understand, Adam immediately nodded with deep feeling: "Yes, the actress who played Woods' assistant is really beautiful..."

"Do you all like this?" Little Leon looked disgusted, "I'm talking about the last Mary Sue."

"Oh, brother—you have to understand one thing. An oriental beauty of Mary Sue's level is not something that ordinary people can pursue, so we need to choose some that are also in line with our aesthetics, but look obviously easier to pursue." A beautiful girl." Adam also took the appearance of a young man and made a mature man's posture. It is quite funny to think that he is mature and stable, "So, in the face of unique and incomparable oriental beauties, we still need something that is easy to find. Sweet Blonde."

Although I feel that what Adam said has a certain truth, but—compared with the same beauty, after meeting the most amazing and unique when he first met the beautiful age in the world... He has been completely led astray, and he loves that beauty even more. Unique and charming.

"It's not me to give up when I encounter difficulties." Little Leon flattened his mouth, and then counted with his fingers, "I started filming TV series when I was five years old, and I will continue to develop in the future-by then, I will I will definitely be able to catch up and go to the position next to Mary Su..."
