The weather in the north has suddenly become hot recently. Of course, this kind of hot weather is the best way to eat melons and chase dramas at home.
There are a lot of new dramas in June. I first launched this HBO new drama "Inheritance", which was just released in the United States on June 3rd. At present, Renren Video has updated the first episode.
Pay attention to the painting behind them
As a melon-eater, or the kind of hidden impoverished people, what I love most is of course the grievances of the rich and powerful. Although I can't reach that state in my life, I still want to understand that different world. Otherwise, every time the wives and children in the gambling rooms of the king's house in Xiangjiang come out, the people who eat melons are happy to watch gossip.
The first episode of "Inheritance" has a very fast pace. After watching it, there is only one emotion. It is not easy to reincarnate in a rich man's house. Every kind of life will be missing.
This is a rich family home. Father Logan Roy has built a powerful media empire. He is now 80 years old and in semi-retired state. He intends to let his second son take over.
The father has four children and three wives.
The eldest son, Kangnai, was born to his first wife.
The remaining three children were born to the second wife.
Currently with Logan Roy is his third wife Marcia.
The old man is very old, and his eldest son Kang Nai has no intention of taking over the family business. He is only obsessed with natural pastures and leads a life of Buddhism that is indisputable in the world. But looking at the little girlfriend next to him, it's obviously not a fuel-efficient lamp.
The second son, Kendall, currently looks like he has the most hope to inherit Datong, but it seems that he is not confident and has to fight against the crowd to buy a website with a lot of money.
Too anxious, instead let the opponent grasp the weakness of his eagerness, the other party deliberately suddenly suspended the cooperation, causing Kendall to continue to invest more, sell shares, and offer various preferential terms to attract the other party to cooperate.
Is there such a play in business negotiations? I don't believe that the future heir of such a family can't even grasp the pace of this point of negotiation.
It can only be said that he is extremely guilty, for fear that his father may change temporarily, and he knows that he is not the most suitable person, so he desperately wants to talk about this business, buy a website to talk to his father, the board of directors, and the old minister to the brothers. Sister, prove yourself to everyone.
Exercising too much, on the contrary, messed up the rhythm, allowing the other party to firmly grasp the initiative and lead him by the nose.
At first glance, the youngest son was also a person with a story, but when the exaggerated smile ended, he couldn't hide the bitterness at the corner of his mouth. He disrupted the situation, he prevented the second brother from coming to Taiwan, and his mischief was more like a catharsis and demonstration of mixed grief and anger.
The only daughter who looks stable and normal has a foothold in politics. But it seems that even the basic terminology of politics is not clear. Maybe the foundation she manages is just for fun?
Dad’s birthday party, as usual, is a big gathering for the whole family.
The gift that the boss Kangnai gave to his father was a piece of acid yeast. However, Dad didn't understand or didn't want to understand what it was. Looking at the eyes of other people, it was full of teasing and mockery.
Kangnai seemed so out of place in this family. He lived a Buddhist life. He didn't care who would be in charge of the family power. When his father proposed a new family trust change plan, his younger brothers and sisters reacted strongly. Only he said, "You want to" Whatever decision will do, I will withdraw and support yours.
Acid yeast can use the ancient method to make a kind of bread. He wanted to use this method to remind his father that the old days of their father and son’s closeness, those long-lasting happy memories, wanted his father to take care of his old feelings. It's a pity that in their family, his father only advocates competition and the winner is king. Only strong and ruthless enough to win in a fierce and complex environment can he win his father's favor.
Because, for families with huge media empires, there are countless careerists and conspirators who look after their huge wealth, and only the strong can protect and inherit wealth.
Originally the second child, Kendall, was recognized as the successor appointed by his father, and he would formally announce his retirement after his father’s birthday. Kendall took over the family business in an all-round way.
Unexpectedly, because the news of the failure of the acquisition website reached his father, the father began to deeply doubt the abilities of this son. He was led by the nose by the other party without the strength to fight back. How can he be assured of passing the burden to him? So on his birthday, he first gave Kendall a little test.
He first asked his son how the acquisition was going, and his son pretended to be calm and said that there was no problem, and everything went well.
Then he told his son to adjust the proportion of the family trust fund, and he needed his son to sign.
In order to show his loyalty, the son was also afraid of his father. He signed quickly while saying that other brothers and sisters might be unhappy, but he didn't care.
After signing, Dad showed a complicated, imperceptible wry smile.
Then, he announced to all his children that he would no longer retire and would continue to do it. At the same time, the increase in the share of the stepmother Marcy in the family trust fund means that Marcy will have two votes after Logan's death.
After a brief silence, the children fry the pot instantly.
The daughter said that she must talk to her lawyer.
After flipping through the contract, the younger son laughed sarcastically.
The eldest son Kang Nai went out in disgust, saying that he was not interested in not participating.
The second son Kendall exploded and shouted to his father: Why didn't you tell me? !
My sister looked at him contemptuously: You have to pay attention to the small characters on the contract!
The father stared at the useless son, although he already knew what the result would be.
"I told you, son, as usual, you still haven't heard."
Born in a business family, I don’t believe that fathers have never told their children how careful they should be when signing contracts, especially those small words like flies. No matter how much the other party wants to interfere with your attention, you need to sign anything. Wherever you are, you must be cautious and then cautious.
Kendall was also very wronged: "I believe in my father, is it wrong?"
The angry son finally opened fire on his father. He believed that his father did not understand the direction of the future media industry tide. He has brought the company into a rigid and old state.
And the father also unceremoniously pointed out his son's mistakes, saying that he was at the mercy of others and could not fight back. He also mentioned the experience of his son three years ago.
It turns out that Kendall also had a history of mental breakdown and drug recovery, and perhaps a history of drug abuse. This is also the reason why he and his wife divorced. The children lived with his ex-wife, and the ex-wife took their children to attend family gatherings.
So, what happened to him? It takes several years of recuperation and rehabilitation to make a rich man with a bright future suffer from a mental breakdown?
Is it the son's inability, or the dad's reluctance to let go?
What's more, there is a young, capable, and capable stepmother beside my father. The children are incapable of making the father feel unbearable. Is it true that the children are not, or is there someone behind the scenes to help the father think that his children are not effective, so that he can take the lead?
There is a very delicate scene in this, that is, the old man saw his son's report in Forbes magazine, and his heart was mixed.
No matter how wise and courageous parents, when facing their grown-up children, they must recognize one thing:
That is, parents are immersed in their own inertial thinking, and they have the power to formulate the rules of the game, so it is too easy to be self-righteous.
Is the love of parents for their children selfless?
Human emotions are so complicated. I remember that the mother who escaped from the basement of Old Nick in the movie "The Room" was asked why she didn't let the man put her newborn child at the entrance of the hospital when she was interviewed by the TV station, and whether there was a kind of selfishness in it.
At that time the woman collapsed. There is no explicit statement in the film, but behind the woman's love for her son, there is also a calculation that she can't detect. It is the son who gave her the desire to survive, and she instinctively wanted to hold him in her hands. This kind of calculation is unconscious, it is the instinct to survive, it blends with the mother's love, and once she is pierced by someone, she herself can't bear the darkness and cruelty in the light.
The same scene also happened in the American drama "The Crown". Queen Elizabeth wanted to have another son. Philip told her friend that she seemed a little cold towards Charles. The friend responded: Yes, any king is facing his heir. At the time, you will feel as if you have seen the end of your life at a glance, and the other party, even your own child, is also your own terminator . It is not easy to love such a child.
There is another hot spot in this episode, that is, the scene of playing ball. The shot is great! Let us glimpse the truth of this family in the quiet.
The younger son motivates a civilian child and tells him that if he can hit a home run, he will be rewarded with a million dollars.
Everyone thinks this is a joke.
The younger son said that it was true, and immediately took out a check and wrote the amount. Sincerely speaking, this is true, I believe you can do it, come on, boy, as long as you do it, this million will be yours.
Children who have never played before, running like crazy, almost did it.
This is really a miracle.
Then, the youngest son shredded the check and told the child that you almost did it, but it still didn't work. So, give you a corner of the check, which is exactly a quarter of a million.
After speaking, laughed and left.
I don't know how you understand this scene, but when I saw such a scene, I suddenly understood, where does the strange atmosphere of this home come from?
It was the father who turned this home into a arena. In order to train the children, he deliberately provoked disputes, suppressed one, drew the others, and let the children compete with each other. He hopes that they will become stronger, able to see through all the conspiracies and tricks, and use huge rewards to motivate children to do things that they could not have done. However, when children go all out to do it, time and time again, children We found that we were nothing but a chess piece in the hands of father, or a chess piece that was not good enough to use.
How the younger son treated the poor and the children, and how the father treated them in the same way.
Perhaps it was the youngest son’s performance that made the father a little bit touched, and in order to save the family’s dignity, the father transferred the precious watch given by the son-in-law to the child.
Only this time, the children were no longer at the mercy of their father. On the plane, they all rejected their father's proposal. Before that, they were all little sheep.
The old father was so angry that he had a brain hemorrhage and was admitted to the hospital.
The second son, Kendall, with a vengeful waywardness, when negotiating with his opponent at all costs, after the opponent suddenly answered a phone call, he was very tough the first second, and the next second he immediately agreed to cooperate, and finally the acquisition was successful. .
When Kendall was still immersed in ecstasy, his opponent said: Your father has a brain hemorrhage, and you just invited me to the chicken coop. Without the protection of your father, I will eat all of your waste wood one by one. Lose!
Simple value is the business empire version of the game of power.
In a time of family crisis, will these children grow up quickly and unite as one to protect the family property? Or do they have their own selfish intentions and share tunes with foreign enemies, only for their own personal benefit?
let us wait and see!
The capital is fierce, and it is strongly concerned.
