It's not about being mean, it's just a professional negotiation

After reading the comments, Renmen's understanding of the character is too superficial. Is grandpa just a stingy? In fact, whether it's grandpa's "nothing", taking advantage of the danger to snatch custody, or daughter-in-law saying on TV that he has money to save people, or Matt Wahlberg scolding the old man in a scene, they are all negotiating. The old man and Wahlberg's insistence are correct, from 17 million to 4 million (of course, it paid the price of ears, but it is still worth it). The kidnapper's negotiating skills are much worse, but effective, that is, sending ears. As soon as this move came out, the old man was also afraid. The old man thinks a lot. Internally and externally, long-term and short-term, he is not just stingy. In that position, if you are not careful, you will lose the whole game. Taking the opportunity to take back custody was a genius. Money can't be wasted. In the end, the daughter-in-law and Wahlberg couldn't take it anymore, and they both had a nervous breakdown, so they tried to force the old man to pay. After all, the old man claimed that Hadrian was reincarnated, and he was really calm. This is the kidnapping of the child. If it is a normal business struggle, let alone the kidnappers, Wahlberg will be scared to pee halfway through the game. Ordinary people, such as me, have been exposed to confrontational struggles, exams, stock speculation, and romantic relationships. You feel that you can't take it anymore, but it's impossible. In fact, the enemy can't hold it anymore. Taking a breath, he knelt down. What is he going to do? Then don't be afraid, keep going.

    Three ringings to Lord Lei. Old Getty’s plays accounted for one-third of the film. In such a short period of time, I can change it without any loopholes. Pu Lao’s performance is worth at least three movie kings. It seems that the characters were written for him. Passy squeezed into this character, Pu Lao exudes not (only) the smell of copper, he is like Goya’s horror and the ghost that emerged from the haze of Rembrandt, is the most terrible kidnapper and sinner, history Compared to Paisi, it's still too oily.

    Surprisingly good! I really like and admire Lei Gong more and more! The kidnapping case is just the skin. The pursuit of the murder case is not important. After the plot deepens step by step, the psychological analysis of the rich, the parties and outsiders is so clean. Of course, this also benefits from Pu Lao and Mi Wei's magical acting skills, Mark Bo. Grid is not bad? Finally, the philosophical question about [value] does not violate and after all, the world of the rich is not so easy to understand.

All the Money in the World quotes

  • Prince Al-Walid: The younger generation has become weak and lazy. Our children care about nothing but Lamborghinis and discotheques.

    Fletcher Chace: Well, perhaps, then, you would do well to accept our competitor's offer.

    Prince Al-Walid: How so, Mr. Chase?

    Fletcher Chace: Maybe Standard Oil will find ways to siphon all that money away with their accounting tricks and bring your wayward children closer to God. Kidding aside, Your Highness,my employer has made you rich.

    Prince Al-Walid: Not as rich as him.

    Fletcher Chace: If you renew your land-use agreement with Getty, he'll make you twice as rich. Can Standard Oil say that? Can Standard Oil say that?

    Prince Al-Walid: We don't need the Americans anymore. Our cartel, OPEC, will control inventory now. OPEC will set the oil price.

    Fletcher Chace: Let me just be very clear, okay? Nothing would make Mr. Getty happier than to see the price of oil higher. In fact, he'd be happy to help.

  • Fletcher Chace: Gail, I lied. All right?I said I was authorized to pay them $200,000. You know how much I'm really authorized to pay? Nothing. All right, if they accept, I won't be able to deliver, but I had to buy some time. You wanted to know what I used to do. This is what I used to do, what I still do for Getty.

    Gail Harris: Because there's no one in your life but yourself.

    Fletcher Chace: Fair enough. $17 million and zero dollars, that's how far apart we are. Those numbers have got to move.
