It is actually very easy to get to know the politicians in America.

Because in order to seek votes, they often need to go deep into the people.

Those who participate in the campaign will set up offices in the community, and it will not be difficult to find them.

They are also happy to listen to voters and respond to their demands.

This is reflected in the American drama "House of Cards". As a member of Pennsylvania, Peter Russell needs to protect the rights and interests of Pennsylvania workers.

However, for Ye Jin, this level of acquaintance naturally cannot meet his needs.

He needed to tie these people to his chariot, stand up for his interests and cheer, and wave flags and shout, so he needed to have a deeper relationship.

To achieve deeper communication, the most convenient way is to introduce it to someone who is acquaintance. The so-called friend’s friend is a friend, and the enemy’s friend is an enemy.

Arthur Willis is a well-known investor on Wall Street. It is impossible for a businessman like him to not know politicians. After all, most of his investment businesses are wandering on the edge of Fate and morality. If there were no politicians to support him, he would have been arrested and imprisoned long ago.

Arthur Willis was stunned, looked at Ye Jin, and suddenly smiled.

From Ye Jin's words, he saw his ambition.

Money and power have been inseparable since ancient times.

Money without the protection of power is destined to be a castle in the air; power without the support of money is just a dream.

Ye Jin now has money, but he still lacks the protection of power, so he is now seeking protection of power.

This is a very clever approach.

"To be honest with Mr. Ye, I know a few political friends." Arthur Willis nodded.

When Ye Jin heard this, he smiled knowingly.

...

Christmas in 1977 is coming with the children's anticipation.

Christmas and New Year's Eve, "Rocky 2" is officially released.

Its release scale is unprecedented. From south to north, from east to west across the United States, a total of 1,000 theaters have released this film, which is twice the scale of "Jaws" that year. It also set a record for the premiere in the United States.

These thousand theaters also contributed $35 million in advance to Fox Pictures. It means that before the movie was released, Fox Pictures had already made $35 million, which was quite cost-effective.

The total cost of "Rocky 2" is only six million US dollars, and the movie has been released, so it can make a lot of money. In fact, if you add the income from built-in advertising and toy licensing, "Rocky 2" has actually made 20 million US dollars.

If the movie is well made, it is really a big deal, and it is not a false statement at all.

The performance on the first day of "Rocky 2" was satisfactory.

The box office on the first day reached 5.6 million US dollars, setting a record for Hollywood film history.

Due to the big sale of "Rocky 2", Fox Pictures' stock price rose slightly again.

The 30% of the stocks in Ye Jin's hands also increased slightly, which was very perfect.

...

Christmas has no special meaning for Ye Jin and Lin Qingxia, and it is not a festival that both of them must celebrate.

However, as they follow the customs, Ye Jin held a grand party at Warner Manor, inviting company employees, his friends, well-known people from the media, film and television circles, and capital circles to come to their homes for fun.

"Mr. Ye, your house is so beautiful." Damian Carret complimented.

Such a beautiful house is still unique and unparalleled even in Beverly Hills, where mansions are everywhere.

"You're welcome." Ye Jin smiled.

If he wants to buy it, he will buy the only one. Otherwise, he will have to move again if he becomes the richest man in the world in the future. That would be so troublesome.

"Hill, congratulations on the big sale of the new film." Ye Jin then raised his glass to Stallone.

"Thank you, I want to congratulate you too. It's amazing that I actually sat in the Fox Film CEO position." Stallone said in admiration.

When he first met Ye Jin, he was not qualified to be invited to a Universal Pictures party. But now he is the most powerful person in Hollywood, and there are so many people who come to take advantage of his party. Just like tonight, most of the guests come to take advantage of the opportunity.

"Thank you." Ye Jin smiled, "By the way, Hill, I don't think you can live on just one movie "Rocky". Are you interested in creating a new story?"

"Of course." Stallone nodded.

Although the "Rocky" series is very popular, it has brought him a lot of fame and fortune, which can be said to be his treasure pot. But who would refuse to have another treasure pot?

"Very good, I recently saw a novel, "The First Drop of Blood". I think this story is very suitable for you." Ye Jin said to Stallone with a smile.

"The First Blood" was written by David Morriel and was officially published in 1972, but it did not attract much attention. The reason was that at that time, a large number of anti-Vietnam War books were released. "The First Blood" was just one of them and there was nothing special about it.

In comparison, anti-Vietnam War works such as "Short Inmate", "Hand-Work", "The Thirteenth Valley", "A Hot Day", "Rumors of War" are more popular with readers.

Ye Jin knew that "The First Drop of Blood" was a very well-known Hollywood action film, and it successfully created the heroic image of [Rambo].

Rambo is smart, brave, and determined, and believes in the principle of "If anyone does not offend me, I will not offend others. If a person is offended, I will offend others". When encountering injustice, he will definitely stand up and fight for his rights.

This is a strong, unyielding, fearless tough guy, and a well-deserved hero on the screen.

But he also suffers from ptsd (post-traumatic stress disorder), and is forced to live in isolation and difficult to integrate into society. He is like a lonely wolf, wandering homeless and silently licking his wounds. Therefore, he is also a person with a strong tragedy.

A tragic hero like this, a lone hero, is naturally more charming than those tall heroes. Therefore, after the release of the "First Blood" series, it was widely popular among movie fans and filmed as many as five movies in a row.

You should know that in Hollywood, only the top-notch movies will continue to shoot sequels. The "First Blood" series can make five movies, which has proven how popular it is.

Ye Jin had long been eyeing this IP, so he had sent someone to contact David Morriel two years ago to buy the film and television adaptation rights of this novel.

At that time, he didn't spend much money, only 10,000 US dollars. Because David Morriel was just a newcomer to the literary world and was not well-known, Ye Jin got a bargain.

After hearing Ye Jin tell the story of "The First Drop of Blood", Stallone was also very interested in this story.

Lanbo was tenacious and unyielding, brave and fearless. Yu suppressed Yu's resistance, and his image as an indomitable tough guy was really too fond of his appetite.

This character is simply a tough guy among tough guys. Compared to him, even Rocky has become a sissy.

"Ye, I think this movie is very suitable for me." Stallone smiled.
