Chapter 2257 Invisible Connection

USA, Chicago.

A Suburban drove out of O'Hei's campaign headquarters. As soon as O'Hei, who had just returned to Chicago, got in the car, he changed from the smiling face in the office to a rather serious expression.

Several other people in the car, including the driver, also had expressionless faces. However, this was mainly due to work needs, because they were all agents from the Secret Service.

Michelle's original prediction was correct. Since O'Hei officially announced his candidacy and gradually gained some popularity, he suddenly became the target of attention and support from black groups across the United States. At the same time, he also faced serious personal threats.

For this reason, at the beginning of this month, the U.S. Secret Service took over full security work for him.

This is also politically correct for the US government.

Don't let this black candidate who is shouting "change" everywhere start to change nothing and just follow in the footsteps of Martin Luther King, then they will criticize on many occasions, such as human rights, security, freedom... When it comes to other countries, it is not very convincing.

Saber was driving in Chicago, a city full of skyscrapers. Little O'Hei looked out the window at the familiar streets, but his brows were still furrowed.

From February to now, the development of the situation has not exceeded the judgment of his team. It seems that the most critical thing to achieve the goal is not to compete with the Republican Party.

Judging from the situation of all parties, at least in this election, the Republican Party is not a strong competitor. In other words, in this election, the Republican Party will lose to themselves.

The quagmire of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the massive military expenditures brought about, the continued increase in military casualties, the successive scandals at the top of the Republican Party... and the current poor economic and employment situation may not require guidance, and the people will voluntarily give up on them.

Because, no matter how bad it is, it won't be worse than it is now.

To achieve the goal, the key lies in the intra-party primaries, and the biggest challenge in the intra-party primaries, that is, successfully winning the Democratic candidate nomination, comes from Hillary.

Although Feng Yiping expressed high optimism about this when meeting with Feng Yiping, Xiao Aohei who was among them at this time was not optimistic at all.

At this time, he actually felt vaguely envious of the Republican candidates.

The Democratic Party has more than 4,000 representatives - nearly double the Republican Party, which has just over 2,000 representatives.

In other words, to win the nomination, he must get the support of at least more than 2,000 representatives.

On the other hand, the representatives of the Republican Party are all elected, and no one has the privilege of becoming an ex-officio representative.

The Democratic Party, in addition to elected party representatives, also has a group of so-called "super representatives."

These super representatives are mainly Democrats who hold or have held senior positions in the government and the party, including Democratic congressmen, governors, mayors, national and state party organizations, major government officials, and other members of the party. Senior leaders.

If there is a candidate in the party who is widely expected and has a large advantage, the role of "super representatives" will be minimal. However, when the support rates of two or more candidates are very close, the support tendency of super representatives may be play a decisive role.

Analyzing all aspects of the situation, it is very likely that he, the first black presidential candidate in American history, and Hillary, the first female candidate in American history, will be evenly matched in the future. At that time, who will those super representatives support?

The results, obviously, are self-evident.

Hillary's most well-known identity is her status as the "former first lady". Behind her stands Clinton, who generally has a good approval rating and has served as president for two terms.

Those superdelegates are naturally closer to Hillary and are naturally more likely to support her.

Therefore, the road ahead is difficult!

Of course, there are also good aspects.

Take fundraising, for example.

This was also his main job in the first two months.

The Federal Election Commission estimates that this will be the most expensive presidential election in U.S. history, costing a total of $1 billion.

Undisclosed information indicates that candidates will be eligible to enter if they can raise at least US$100 million before the end of this year.

In this regard, although Hillary has received strong support from the big financial groups on Wall Street and Hollywood stars, O'Hei benefited from the experience of successfully using NEXTDOOR to raise funds during the Senate campaign. This time, he added Thanks to the team's efforts on Facebook, he received donations from many civilians.

Although most of these donations amounted to tens to a hundred dollars, the advantage was the large number of people, including many Silicon Valley bosses, who had a good impression of him, so he and Hillary almost completed the fundraising of 20 million U.S. dollars at the same time in the early stage. Finally, now, he is gradually taking the lead in this aspect.

Feng Yiping immediately came to mind. Whether he was a leader in using social networking sites or received support from the big guys in Silicon Valley, it can be said that Feng Yiping was inseparable.

No matter what, he was grateful to Feng Yiping at this time.

It's not that he doesn't have other considerations or worries at this time, but he believes that after he achieves his goal, he will be able to solve those possible problems.

He has already asked someone to collect Feng Yiping's information comprehensively. Apart from other things, this young man who is currently very successful in Silicon Valley has a much lower limit than those old-fashioned financial groups in the East.

Moreover, it is obviously much easier to deal with a person who is known for his good vision and far-sightedness.

At least, such a person generally does not make difficult requests, because Feng Yiping's other well-known characteristic is that he focuses on opening up the blue ocean, that is, he does not pursue competitiveness and likes non-zero-sum games.

It is indeed very easy to deal with such a person. For example, since he decided to run for the Senate, the young and enviable rich man has been more cautious than himself when contacting him.

Dealing with such a person will naturally make people feel at ease.

But he quickly put this question behind his mind and fixed his eyes on a man with a beard who looked like a homeless man in front of the steps of a building on the roadside.

"Is he from the Marine Corps?" he asked an agent.

The special supply's answer confirmed his guess, "Yes, look at the tattoo on his arm."

O'Hei just noticed this. The guy who now looks like a homeless person obviously hasn't showered for some days, but the old-fashioned "USMC" (the abbreviation of the United States Marine Corps) on his arm can still be seen clearly.

This can be said to be another advantage of his campaign this time. When he ran for the Senate, he was clearly against the war, but Hillary not only supports the Bush administration's proposition, but also takes a tough stance on another hot issue that may trigger a war, the Iranian nuclear issue.

Although there have been some adjustments in the tone of these issues recently, it is estimated that they will move closer to themselves in the future, but this will obviously disgust some people who are deeply affected by the war.

In the past two years, whether in Chicago or Peanut Town, there are more and more homeless people like this, and behind each of these homeless people, there is a broken American family.

This situation should be changed.

When approaching Lake Michigan, Little O'Hei saw from afar that the Navy Pier was particularly lively, "Are there any activities over there?"

"They should be filming the sequel to "Batman Begins" over there," said an agent.

"Oh," Little O'Hei remembered the news he had seen.

Chicago and Hollywood seem to be far apart and unlikely to have any connection. In fact, because of some of the characteristics here, such as the high-rise buildings in the city, this place has always been the filming location for many Hollywood movies.

Chicago is the Gotham City in Batman.

"I don't know what kind of surprise he can bring us this time,"

Little O'Hei then had a wish, hoping that when the movie is released next year, he can be in a good mood to go to the cinema - it is estimated that by then, the party's primary election should be over.

He thought of Feng Yiping again. Batman is a superhero under DC, and Mr. Feng has become the owner of Marvel at this time.

That is really a very capable guy!

…………

The Navy Pier was very busy at this time. A large group of people were busy and nervous. Christopher Nolan, who had a distinct British temperament, was holding a walkie-talkie and checking the preparations with several people.

This was undoubtedly the best location for the evacuation of Gotham citizens by ferry when the Joker was about to start the game of blowing up the city.

Given the excellent box office performance of the first Batman movie he directed, he naturally got the opportunity to direct the second one.

It can be said that it was the success of the previous one that established his position in Hollywood and even the world film industry. This time, he was ready to surpass the performance of the previous one. For this reason, he was particularly attentive in both the conception of the story and the shooting techniques and means.

Of course, as an ambitious director, he was already thinking about his next movie at this time.

What would the next movie be? Although he was a little uncertain about when the inspiration would burst out, he had been feeling recently that the time should be soon and he should soon come up with a brilliant idea.

Well, he might be a little overconfident.

…………

Los Angeles.

Lily Collins, wearing a bikini, lay by the pool in the backyard of Jessica Alba's house, looking at the quiet house above, and shouted, "So boring!"

Alba, lying on her back, laughed, "Is it boring because you can't go up there?"

"Yes," Collins said without any concealment, "Iron Man is about to be released, why hasn't he come yet?

"Don't worry, he will come. This is the first big production produced by Marvel. How could he not come?" Alba said.

But, how long has it been since the last meeting, Collins thought.

Alba took off her sunglasses with a smile, "Lily, do you like him?"

"Hehe, are you not interested in him now? "Collins said.

"Of course I'm interested in him, and I'm more interested in him," Alba said directly.

2005 can be said to be her most productive year, but that year, only the Fantastic Four, which was strongly supported by Feng Yiping, received a good response and good box office.

Last year, although she also shot several films, unfortunately, none of them were released last year, that is, she disappeared from the big screen for a whole year last year.

This year, specifically, next month, Fantastic Four 2 will be released, which is her most important work. Unfortunately, this time, she did not get the same support from Feng Yiping as last time, because Iron Man, produced by Marvel itself, is obviously his focus.

Because of this, she is more interested in Feng Yiping. What if she can get a role in his company, including the movies produced by Marvel and Netflix?

Although everyone only saw the trailer of Iron Man at the Super Bowl, since then, all walks of life have been highly looking forward to this Marvel movie. If nothing unexpected happens, it will definitely be a successful movie.

And the first movie produced by Netflix, Long Way Home, which is scheduled to be released at the end of the year, will definitely be a masterpiece from the production team.

Although Nicole Kidman's cash flow is not stable, director Ang Lee's production has been very stable.

She is eager to get opportunities from those two companies.

Whether it is a popular big production or an opportunity to work with a famous director, she needs it.

Collins looked at her with some surprise. So direct? She suddenly didn't want to hide it anymore, "Yes, I like him,"
