The card game he saw before Lynch's arrival was actually that Mr. Fox amused himself by deliberately "losing cards". In short, he United some ordinary old men around him by losing money.

Some people may think that this is actually a manifestation of loneliness. They may also think that Mr. Fox is a poor old man who has few friends.

But from another standpoint, at least he has money.

Lynch saw through at a glance that it is not normal for a good man who deals with money all day and is not a good man in a strict sense to lose without many chips in front of him.

He doesn't think Mr. Fox is poor. Maybe in Mr. Fox's heart, those who play with him and take advantage of him are poor. At least he won't pay the most expensive time in his life for a little money.

People often say that money can't buy happiness. Lynch thinks that Mr. Fox was very happy just now. They can't feel the happiness of sitting behind the scenes and making the old men think they have found an "honest man" but turn out to be the bait.

They talked and laughed for a while and sat on the rattan chair. The outdoor platform was exposed to the wind and sun. Sometimes there would be worse weather. The leather sofa or cloth sofa would break down in less than half a year. On the contrary, the rattan chair can last longer and has some cultural flavor, which is more suitable to be placed here.

People are basically like this. Once they meet the most basic needs in terms of wealth, they begin to pursue spiritual satisfaction, and the pursuit of cultural satisfaction is a more suitable way for the public.

"I heard from other places that you found a script." Lynch took a sip of the coffee brought by the servant. In fact, many young people like him prefer fruit juice because it is sour and sweet.

But the real Lynch is not a young man. He has passed the age of liking sour and sweet. This taste can't attract him. On the contrary, some bitter but sweet tastes fascinate him more.

Mr. Fox nodded. "You know, my bastard son is a college student..." he said that little fox is an bastard, but the glory on his face betrayed his heart. "One of his alumni found him and provided him with this script. Little fox thought it was very interesting, so why not let him try?"

Lynch can understand this feeling as a father. In fact, every father wants his children to embark on a bright road, even the leader of a criminal family.

He nodded. "I talked about it at dinner with the mayor in the evening. He agreed to give us a financial subsidy. I can't guarantee the specific amount. I asked to give as much as possible."

"In addition, you can go to the social service bureau to apply for assistance. They will arrange special staff to cooperate with your shooting work."

Mr Fox was stunned for a moment, and then thanked Lynch, "you are a good man, Lynch!"

"We are friends, so friends should help each other, don't you think?"

Mr Fox did not hesitate. "You're right, Lynch friend!"

Maybe it was because Lynch's arrival distracted little fox. Maybe he wanted to know Lynch's views and find a sense of identity. Soon after, he took the script to the platform on the second floor and handed it to Lynch, "Do you want to see the script? If there is no accident, this is why the people we shoot like roads and like the beauty and poetry of driving towards the bright red setting sun on the sunset Gobi desert. Therefore, road films have always been popular, and the low shooting cost is also one of the reasons.

But this script... Lynch is not optimistic about it. A woman's car breaks down and gets a ride with a freak killer. What's more outrageous is that the woman fell in love with the freak killer after being hurt and tortured, thus completing the inexplicable redemption, making the freak killer return to normal and voluntarily surrender. She also gave birth to the freak killer I have a child.

The horror is definitely not the atmosphere, but the writer's head. Lynch put down the script. He added some body language on his arms to find a relatively peaceful word, but he failed.

"I don't know how to describe it..."

Little fox may be wrong. "Are you shocked by it, too?"

Lynch glanced at Mr. Fox. The latter seemed to look at him very seriously and wanted to get some reference value from him. He frowned. "Maybe I don't understand the deeper meaning of this script, but I know it's not a script I like. I won't pay for it to enter the cinema."

Little fox looked more incredible. "It's a very excellent script with a lot of metaphors. Don't you find that it has something to do with some religious stories?"

Next, Little Fox began to explain to lynch what a paragraph in the script meant, what metaphor was behind it, and what other things were implied. In his description and explanation, some deeper things of the script were shown.

In fact, the script, like the author, lacks some people who can clearly interpret it, which also makes a lot of interesting and deeper content undetected.

However, Lynch is not very interested in this. "Entertainment pursues happiness, not making people think. That's what philosophy makes people do."

"Audiences don't spend a few dollars to sit in the cinema with their family for an hour or two to think about why, why, they just want to be happy, and I don't find any happiness here."

"It may make you feel a little sad, but I must say how I feel, because I am also responsible for my money."

Mr. Fox always keeps a smile on his face. He doesn't know much about movies, but he knows what is interesting and what is not interesting. He doesn't think it's a good story, but these college students think it's great.

As a father, he was absolutely incompetent, so he hoped to make up for some things that little fox lacked in some way. He didn't say it was bad, but kept silent.

It may not be very effective if the old Mr. Fox prevents the little fox from making this script, but Lynch is different. In a way, the little fox admires Lynch more than Mr. Fox. At least their father and son turned into successful people with Lynch's help, and this is just a small step in Lynch's own plan.

"Really so bad?", he began to come out in a frenzy, and vaguely felt that it seemed a little... Bad?

"Take it out and let the people on the road who have nothing to do with it have a look. They will tell you the most real side!"

Little fox left with some discomfort, but Mr Fox asked, "do you have any good suggestions?"

This question puzzled Lynch a little. "What do you mean?"

"The script, the story of the film!" Mr. Fox then said, "in fact, he has rented a complete set of things needed for shooting the film. The price of these things is really not cheap. The lessor also said that even if we don't use them, we won't refund..."

It's absolutely impossible to refund money because of the economic downturn these days. Some people may say that it's just 200, 300, 000 or 300, 500, 000. If you can't refund it, you can't refund it. Do the fox and his son still care about this money?

Perhaps this was the case when the economy was good. Now the economy is bad, and the situation has become different.

Moreover, these things are not sold to them. Even if they can't be returned, they can still leave things. These things are rented. If they exceed the time limit in the contract, they will be returned to the lessor, and they won't even lose a hair.

Originally, Mr. Fox meant to let little fox suffer a loss. He always thought that this society was very simple, and even thought that even if they didn't take the current road, they could stand out.

If Lynch doesn't know about it, everything will be carried out according to Mr. Fox's plan, the shooting will be completed, and then the release will fail. Little fox realizes the complexity of society and the correctness of Mr. Fox's experience, which is of positive help to the relationship between father and son.

But now not only Lynch knows, but also the mayor knows. If this thing is still done according to his original plan, little fox may not be the only one who will suffer. Even he will "suffer".

People will see the birth of a big joke. This is not the plot of Mr. Fox's old fox plan. He must save it.

Lin Qi was just about to say that he was powerless. Suddenly, he remembered that the truck driver told him that there was a fool named James in the team who often wrote something and was said to be able to sell it to film companies or trade unions. Maybe he could do something?
