Chapter 604 The Most Gorgeous American Dream

Link is a global superstar and a world-class billionaire with great influence all over the world.

He can speak Chinese, Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, French, etc. He has been on the Spring Festival Gala, held concerts in many countries, and held boxing matches.

When helping his father-in-law stand up, he can take advantage of the language convenience to actively contact immigrant groups or descendants of immigrants in several language families to help his father-in-law canvass for votes.

In fact, before his father-in-law became a candidate for the Elephant Party, acquaintances from many countries took the initiative to contact him, such as Yasue Tahara in Tokyo, who took the initiative to find him and expressed his willingness to contact Japanese groups and consortiums.

Link was a little surprised at the time. He remembered that Yasue Tahara was one of the heads of Universal Pictures' Japanese branch, but now he is involved in politics. His identity seems to be a little complicated.

Link thought of the other party deliberately arranging women for him in the past, and asked if he had expected his father-in-law to participate in the election, so he contacted him in advance to achieve some political intentions.

Yasue Tahara denied it, saying that they first contacted him in 2011, when his father-in-law was not doing well in politics, and they did not expect him to run for election.

Yasue Tahara said that the reason why he actively contacted him was not because he was optimistic about his father-in-law, but because he was optimistic about him, saying that he was an amazing person and would definitely achieve great things in the future, so he invested in advance.

Link also had to sigh that the other party had a good vision.

In addition to Yasue Tahara, Link also had contacts with Beijing, Seoul, Saudi Arabia and other parties.

However, the American political arena is too complicated, and Link did not want to get involved too deeply before figuring out the forces of all parties, so after the contact, he would transfer this relationship to his father-in-law to handle, and they would decide what to do in the end.

Link is equivalent to a broker.

After the Olympics, Link received more than 30 commercial endorsements worth more than 30 million. During his stay in New York, in addition to helping his father-in-law stand on the stage, he was also busy shooting various advertisements, and he was too busy to handle the work every day.

In early September, Link put down his work and flew to Italy to attend the 73rd Venice International Film Festival Awards Ceremony.

The Venice Film Festival is known as the world's three major international film festivals along with the Cannes International Film Festival and the Berlin International Film Festival.

Founded in 1932, it is also the world's first international film festival and is known as the "father of international film festivals."

The Venice International Film Festival aims to "serve serious art with film" and "improve the level of film art."

When judging the awards, more attention is paid to the "artistic quality" of the film.

This year, there are 1,214 films participating in the Venice Film Festival, three of which belong to Lionsgate, including "La La Land", "Bad Love" and "Unbroken" directed by Angelina Jolie.

After a week of exhibition and selection, "La La Land" and "Bad Love" were shortlisted for the main competition unit, Link and Emma Stone were nominated for Best Actor and Best Actress, and "Unbroken" was shortlisted for the Horizon unit.

The Venice Film Festival awards ceremony was held on September 10. Emma Stone won the Best Actress Award, and Link shared the Best Actor trophy with Spanish actor Oscar Martinez.

"Bad Love" won the Special Jury Award, and the Russian film "War Paradise" and the Mexican "Savage Land" jointly won the Silver Lion Award for Best Director.

"Nocturnal Animals" starring Amy Adams won the Silver Lion Award for the Jury Grand Prix.

Angelina Jolie won the Best Director Award in the Horizon Unit for "Unbroken".

This trip to Venice can be regarded as a full return, and Link also became the youngest actor in the history of the three major European film festivals.

In the autumn season, Lionsgate has four films released, "Bad Love", "Unbroken", "The Visit" and "Hereditary".

"Bad Love" is one of the films co-produced by Lionsgate and Annapurna Films. It tells the story of a girl living in the ruins of Texas. In order to leave Texas controlled by cannibals and find a sense of belonging and love in the future, she sets out alone, facing danger and the unknown, and welcoming a new life.

The film stars Jason Momoa, Keanu Reeves, Jim Carrey, Suki Waterhouse and others.

The production cost was 12 million US dollars. It earned 3.09 million US dollars in 228 theaters in the first week of its release. The box office performance was average. It was released in overseas regions for ten days and the cumulative box office was 2.35 million US dollars.

The film is expected to lose millions of US dollars.

The film that replaced "Bad Love" is "Unbroken". The film is adapted from "Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience and Redemption" by Laura Hillenbrand. It tells the story of Louis Zamperini, a World War II pilot, who was unfortunately captured by Japanese soldiers and taken to a prisoner-of-war camp during a mission due to a plane crash and suffered hardships there.

The film was directed by Angelina Jolie and the production cost was 65 million US dollars.

In the first week of its release, it earned 62.52 million US dollars in 3,131 theaters in North America, and the box office in the first week was recovered. The North American box office is expected to be more than 100 million US dollars.

This box office data exceeded the expectations of Lionsgate and the media.

In 2014, Sony Pictures was hacked and a large number of emails were leaked. One of the messages involved Angelina Jolie. Famous producer Scott Rudin sent an email to Sony Pictures Co-Chairman Amy Pascal, claiming that "Jolie is a talentless, psychotic, spoiled child."

This incident also made Jolie ridiculed by many people. Now that "Unbroken" has become a big hit at the box office, Jolie is also proud of it.

Unbroken was released in North America for 16 days, with a cumulative box office of 102 million US dollars.

It also became the eighth movie of Lionsgate that broke the 100 million US dollar box office in North America this year.

The box office performance in overseas regions was also good, because the movie criticized the atrocities of Japan, and it received more than 18 million US dollars in the Chinese region alone.

It also received more than 30 million in other regions.

After three weeks of release, the total box office reached 154 million US dollars.

In September and October, the competition between the old father-in-law and his opponent Mrs. Larry became more and more intense, and Link had to put down his work and pay attention to some political issues.

With his help, in the California regional election, which was originally the territory of the Democratic Party, the old father-in-law unexpectedly defeated the Democratic Party candidate Larry, and won 20 votes in the state. The total number of votes reached 308, exceeding the opponent by 32.

Some media claimed that Link was the trump card for the old father-in-law's victory in the election. Link has a huge influence among young people, and one person is equivalent to a full-staffed campaign team.

However, this kind of thing is a mixed blessing for Link. The good thing is that it can help his father-in-law win the election, but the bad thing is that if his father-in-law does something that is not good for voters in the future, he will also be criticized.

But he is now Evaka's husband. In the public's mind, he and his father-in-law are in the same group.

Some things can't be avoided even if you don't want to get involved.

After more than a year of campaign PK, his father-in-law won 336 votes in 50 states of the United States, successfully defeated Mrs. Larry who won 202 votes, successfully won this election, and became the legal heir of the United States of America.

Link was also called the first son-in-law by foreign media.

And Link was originally an ordinary beach boy. In less than eight years, he became the world's 13th richest man, a world superstar, a super athlete, a world boxing champion, and the American son-in-law.

Media from various countries called it the "American Miracle" and the "Most Gorgeous American Dream".
