American Entertainment 1982 Chapter 317

Chapter 317 The Road Home

Tommy changed into casual clothes, put on sunglasses, and walked towards the car that was parked in front of the Eagle's Nest gate.

“This car is very cool.” The nerdy Hilbert leaned in front of the pillar next to him. When he saw Tommy walking towards the car, he stood up straight and said.

It was a four-seater hard-core convertible sports car that was all black and blue. You didn't need to look at the interior. You only needed to see the golden goddess logo standing on the large water tank grille on the front of the car to make people understand that this machine Monsters don't come cheap.

Limited to 200 units worldwide, it was once the world's largest, most expensive and most luxurious four-seater convertible, the Rolls-Royce Voyage IV.

“The cost of modifying it is enough to buy three more of them.” Tommy turned his head and looked at his son: “Dorothy said that you and your high school friends are going to visit Caltech today.”

Hilbert spread his hands nervously: "They have already set off. I... uh... my mother just called and said that before you remarry her, Uncle Dennis will help you hold a bachelor party..."

Seeing his nervous look, Tommy frowned: "I didn't plan to invite you to participate."

"Uh... Mom left it for me before she left last night and asked me to give it to you. She asked you to wait until the day of the party to open it." Hilbert handed Tommy an envelope.

Tommy stared at his son and tore open the envelope neatly with both hands.

Inside is a Newport scenery postcard. On the back is a handwritten sentence by Otilia: "Have fun and remember to go home for dinner the next day." There is also a Virgan and a Trojan stuck on it.

Hilbert said: "Maybe... not alone, I mean, I can go home with you, this is..."

Hilbert shook his head: "No, I never thought about it. MIT is my only belief."

"Archie, your Aunt Diane's son is a few years older than you. He took a break from high school for a while, but recently he is willing to listen to my suggestion and go to Stanford University to study in information engineering."

"The child of the lady who once played the mother in the movie? Like Felice, I have another half-sibling? If one day, the descendants of the Hawke family want to sort out the genealogy, they will definitely be confused. Or my sister Jenny may ask that the distribution of your lineage be never made public."

 “Then stay away from me, kid.”

“Have you considered coming to Stanford University to study?” Tommy asked a strange question after seeing his son's intention to accompany him on this long journey.

 “Another child? Who?”

"The way they recruit new people is so cool now? Okay, I admit, I have not enjoyed this program. You can also refuse. After all, I think it is indeed a bit exaggerated. The first time of that thing is still for your benefit. Ni or another girl." Tommy noticed the way Hilbert looked at him and immediately explained that he had never enjoyed this kind of recruiting method back then.

Tommy raised his eyebrows dissatisfied: "I didn't force anyone, son, have you been bullied by me? You can still go to MIT, but I'm a little sad. After all, many resources at Stanford University are now cheaper. one person."

Hilbert said in a panic: "I explained to you that SSD is not suitable for me. My teacher recommended that I join the cooler physics honorary fraternity, which is full of classmates who like physics. I once tried In order to please you, I tried to understand SSD, but I couldn't accept some of the things they talked to me. For example, I didn't understand why I had to have a hundred coins stuffed into my **** by them if I wanted to join SSD. Okay, then let another rookie hit me on the head with an inflatable hammer until all the coins fell out of my **** due to the force of the vibration on my head! This is naked bullying and humiliation. You were also used by others when you joined SSD. Coins stuffed into an asshole?”

Hilbert quietly moved nearby to take a look, and whispered: "It's very tender."

"If you don't start life according to your plan, you will be cold-blooded to that person, right?" Hilbert mustered up the courage to say to Tommy.

"I never need this thing, and the price is very high." Tommy pulled off the pills and threw them away, then pinned the postcard to the front of the car: "The wedding is two weeks later, and all I can do is drive this car alone. Travel across America, have one last pleasure, and then return to your family and be a gelded old horse.”

"Don't put your eggs in one basket. See you at the wedding in Newport, son." Tommy patted Hilbert on the shoulder, then turned around and got into the car, started the car and drove away. His words to his son were heard in the wind. Final teaching:

“I don't belong to the Hawke family. If you open the Internet, you won't be able to search for any information about me in the past twenty years, so don't even think about how many brothers and sisters I helped you give birth to.”

When Stephen Penn, dressed in black, followed the crowd out of the church, he happened to see Tommy leaning on the front of the car, looking at him with a cigarette in his mouth:

“Your assistant said you were here for a funeral.”

"My girlfriend's grandfather passed away." Stephen came over, pulled off the white flowers on his chest, pointed at the beautiful woman in the crowd in the distance who had an uncontrollable smile on her face and looked to be in her twenties at most, and said to Tommy He introduced: "Her grandfather is two years older than me and was my senior in the Order of the Phoenix when I was in college."

Tommy took out a cigarette and handed it to him: "The smiles on those people's faces made me feel that it was not their relatives who died, but their enemies."

“Because I did something very stupid.” Stephen lit the cigarette and looked at Tommy.

Tommy had a clear expression on his face: "You proposed to your senior's lovely granddaughter at his funeral? Are you afraid that if he proposed to his granddaughter while he was still alive, your senior would break your golf club? "

Stephen smiled sadly and nodded gently to Tommy: "Yes, although it was a bit...unexpected, I did do that. I couldn't lie alone in the coffin like her grandfather. I also want to have someone else." A group of family members gathered around my body, racking their brains to recall the few good things I had done in my life that were worth mentioning. They said it out loud in front of God, hoping that God would bless me for the sake of those good things I had done. I ascend to heaven.”

"Unless an accident occurs, according to the current medical level, you will have to wait forty to fifty years if you want to die naturally. Judging from the time, you can indeed create a lot of relatives with your little girlfriend. Then let them surround your body." Tommy blew out a smoke ring: "If you include those real and fake illegitimate children, your family group can be expanded several times."

"Change the topic. What do you want to talk to me about? Tell me that because someone accused Caver of violating U.S. securities laws and I couldn't handle it in time, you are going to replace someone to take care of the business and let me retire and focus on my honeymoon. There are still some problems. Talk to me about other streaming-related businesses?” Stephen asked Tommy.

Stephen Bean is now the out-and-out King of Hollywood, or in other words, the gravekeeper of Hollywood. Countless movie companies have been destroyed by his Crave online video stream. Crave is Tommy The remastered version of Netflix arranged for Stephen would only be more harmful to Hollywood than the Netflix that does not exist today, because long before the Internet could realize the smooth playback of online videos, Stephen, under Tommy's instruction, used many The golden fool entered Hollywood, deceived a group of people, and bought the online broadcast rights of 70% of the Hollywood film company's film library. When the Internet streaming media era came, Crave immediately started the self-made film and television business regardless of losses. This has led to the era of Internet streaming media. No movie company or even video company has such a rich source of films as Crave, not just American movies, but also British, French, German, Canadian, Japanese, Korean and so on.

Today, Crave has more than 340 million paying subscribers worldwide, with a subscription fee of US$9.99. Its monthly revenue from paid subscriptions alone is as high as more than 3 billion. Although the expenses are equally staggering, it is no longer a behemoth of this size. Hollywood film companies can compete because they speak with intuitive data, such as Crave's unblinking commitment to produce 300 original film and television works a year, with a production budget of up to 15 billion U.S. dollars a year. This kind of confidence has made the world No director or actor could refuse Crave's invitation.

Those traditional film companies have now become Crave's content providers.

 Today, Stephen Bean has realized his original dream. His office is filled with grand slams from the Emmy Awards and Oscars. He has collected all the awards from these two award ceremonies.

Tommy shook his head: "The guy who accused Crave committed suicide. The Supreme Court finally said that after investigation, it found that the other party's evidence was insufficient. I'm not here to discuss business. Stephen, I want to say that I am also getting married."

"Let me guess, it must not be Sophia, because there is no need, and it is impossible for Diane. That stupid woman was brainwashed by you into a medieval woman, so it is Jenny's husband's mother, the German woman who stayed at Stanford for several years. Did you get a pregnant in-law? Her husband finally couldn't stand this weird life and committed suicide?" Stephen saw that Tommy's expression didn't look like he was joking, so he began to speculate:

"Or is it Sandra Bullock's lawyer sister? She is quite suitable for you. She is as bad as you. Not to mention that she and you have a pure employment relationship. I know that you often play Jenga with her at the Four Seasons Hotel..."

 “Otilia,” Tommy said to Stephen.

Stephen was stunned and looked at Tommy: "Otilia? You are kidding, right? The Otilia Farrell who was hurt by you, the American Justice Otilia Farrell?"

"Jenny's exposure in Germany will continue to increase in the next few years. It is necessary to show the public that she comes from an excellent family that can be recognized by the public. The family is harmonious. Her mother is a judge and her father is a small businessman. She has a happy childhood. ." Tommy blew out a smoke ring: "I thought the resistance to remarrying and returning to the family would come from my brother, my father and even Otilia. Unexpectedly, only Jenny voted against it. She felt that she did not need me to help create a false image. Happy growth experience.”

“She still hates you.” Stephen said about Jenny, with a bit of displeasure on his face: “You have made Jenny reluctant to return to the United States. I, the godfather, have to go to Germany for vacation to see her, poor girl.”

"Why do you hate me? I admit that I did **** her husband's mother, but that was before I married her to him! And I gave Jenny compensation. I gave her the whole of Germany to let her run wild." Tommy lost it Cigarette butt, looked at Stephen: "I promised Otilia that I would stop messing around after marriage, so the bachelor's party that Dennis helped me organize the day before the wedding was the last chance for me to interact with my youthful body. Remember to come."

"The price of marriage is a bit high. After listening to what you said, I now have to reconsider whether to marry my little girlfriend. After all... I have just turned sixty and I am not used to being alone with her for the rest of my life." Stephen said to Tommy smiled: "I guess you will also drive by to inform Jason, Jim, and Pam, and say hello to them for me."

“See you at the club retirement ceremony.” Tommy got into the driver's seat, started the car and drove forward along the road.
