Domination in America, Starting from being a Boxing Champion-Chapter 836 - 604: The Most Glamorous American Dream

Link is a global superstar and a world-class tycoon with immense influence all over the world.

He speaks Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, French, etc., has appeared on the Spring Festival Gala, held concerts in many countries, and organized boxing matches.

When supporting his father-in-law's campaign, he could take advantage of his language skills to proactively reach out to various immigrant groups and descendants to help his father-in-law gather votes.

In fact, even before his father-in-law became the Republican Party candidate, acquaintances from many countries, such as Tanahara Anjo from Tokyo, took the initiative to contact him, expressing their willingness to connect with the Japanese community and financial groups.

Link was somewhat surprised at the time, remembering that Tanahara Anjo was one of the heads of Universal Pictures' Japanese division, and now he was getting involved in politics, which made his identity seem somewhat complex.

Link wondered if Tanahara Anjo had anticipated his father-in-law's candidacy and approached him early on to achieve some political intent.

Tanahara Anjo denied this, saying that the initial contact was made in 2011, at which time his father-in-law was mediocre in politics, and they did not see his candidacy coming.

Tanahara Anjo said the reason for actively reaching out was not because they were optimistic about his father-in-law, but because they had great expectations of him, believing he was a remarkable person who would surely achieve great things in the future, and thus it was an early investment.

Link couldn't help but admire their foresight.

Besides Tanahara Anjo, Link had contacts with Capital City, Seoul, Saudi Arabia, and others.

However, with the deep and complex waters of American politics, Link did not want to get too involved before understanding the various forces, so after making these connections, he handed them off to his father-in-law to manage, letting them decide how to proceed.

Link essentially acted as a facilitator.

After the Olympics, Link received more than thirty commercial endorsements each valued over thirty million dollars, and during his time in New York, in addition to supporting his father-in-law, he was busy filming various commercials, with a schedule so packed he could hardly keep up.

At the beginning of September, Link set aside his work and flew to Italy to attend the 73rd Venice International Film Festival award ceremony.

The Venice Film Festival, Cannes International Film Festival, and Berlin International Film Festival are known as the three major international film festivals in the world. freēwēbnovel.com

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

The Venice International Film Festival aims to "serve cinema as a serious art" with "improving the artistic quality of film" as its main purpose.

During the awards, it places particular emphasis on the "artistic quality" of films.

This year, a total of 1214 films participated in the Venice Film Festival, three of which belonged to Lionsgate Films, including "La La Land," "Poor Quality Love," and Angelina Jolie-directed "Unbroken."

After a week of screenings and selection, "La La Land" and "Poor Quality Love" were nominated in the main competition category, with Link and Emma Stone nominated for Best Actor and Actress respectively, and "Unbroken" was selected for the Orizzonti section.

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

"Poor Quality Love" won the Jury Special Prize, and the Russian film "War Paradise" and the Mexican film "Savage Region" jointly won the Silver Lion Award for Best Director.

Amy Adams-starring "Nocturnal Animals" received the Grand Jury Prize Silver Lion.

Angelina Jolie won the Best Director Award in the Orizzonti section for "Unbroken."

This trip to Venice was indeed fruitful, and Link became the youngest Film Emperor in the history of the three major European film festivals.

During the autumn season, Lionsgate Films had four films released: "Poor Quality Love," "Unbroken," "Visits of Souls," and "Hereditary."

"Inferior Love" is one of the films co-produced by Lionsgate Films and Annapurna Pictures. It tells the story of a girl living on the ruins of Texas, who sets out alone to find a sense of belonging and love in the future, away from the cannibals-controlled Texas, facing danger and the unknown, and embracing a new life.

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

The production cost was $12 million, and it earned $3.09 million at the US box office in its opening week across 228 theaters, performing moderately. After ten days in the overseas market, the cumulative box office totaled $2.35 million.

This film is expected to lose several million US Dollars.

Replacing "Inferior Love" at the box office is "Unbroken," a film adaptation of Laura Hillenbrand's "Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption," which tells the story of Louis Zamperini, a World War II pilot who, after a plane crash on a mission, was unfortunately captured by Japanese soldiers and taken to a prisoner-of-war camp, where he faced hardships.

The film was directed by Angelina Jolie with a production budget of $65 million.

It earned $62.52 million at the US box office in its opening week across 3,131 theaters in North America, breaking even in the first week, with an expected US box office of over $100 million.

This box office result exceeded the expectations of Lionsgate Films and the media.

In 2014, Sony Pictures was hacked, and a massive amount of email communication was leaked. One of the messages involved Angelina Jolie; renowned producer Scott Rudin said in an email to Sony Pictures co-chair Amy Pascal that 'Jolie is a talentless, like a crazy spoiled brat.'

This incident also led to a lot of mockery for Jolie, but now with the box office success of "Unbroken," Jolie has had the last laugh.

"Unbroken" accumulated $102 million at the US box office 16 days after its release.

It became Lionsgate Film's eighth film this year to break $100 million in North America.

The international box office also performed well, earning over $18 million just in the Huaxia region due to the film's critique of Japanese atrocities.

The film also earned over $30 million in other territories.

Three weeks after release, the total box office reached $154 million.

By September and October, the political competition between Link's father-in-law and his rival, Mrs. Larry Xi, heated up, forcing Link to put aside his work and focus on political issues.

With his help, in the California election originally dominated by the Democratic Party, his father-in-law unexpectedly defeated Democratic candidate Larry Xi, winning the state's 20 votes, with a total of 308 votes, thirty-two more than his opponent.

Some media claimed that Link was the ace in his father-in-law's successful campaign, with a huge influence among the youth, standing in for a full-fledged campaign team.

However, such events had mixed effects on Link; the good side was helping his father-in-law win the election, but the downside was if his father-in-law made decisions unfavorable to voters, he would also receive much criticism.

But as it stands, he is now Ivanka's husband, and in the public's mind, he is on the same team as his father-in-law.

Some things are inescapable even if one doesn't wish to be involved.

After more than a year of campaign face-offs, Link's father-in-law secured 336 votes across the 50 states of America, comfortably defeating Mrs. Larry Xi with 202 votes and winning the election as the rightful successor of the United States of America.

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

And Link, who was just an ordinary beach boy, became the world's 13th wealthiest man, a global superstar, a super athlete, the World Boxing Champion, and the United States' Imperial Son-in-law in less than eight years.

International media labeled it as the "American miracle" and "the most splendid American Dream."
