Chapter 467: The Heroes of the Finale Are Invincible (Part II)
"It's incredible."
Daniel smiled sideways and said to Cusa that they were at the opening ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, not far from Daniel, US President George W. Bush and his wife Laura, while Bill Gates and Prince Albert II of Monaco sat on either side of him.
Bill was talking to George W. Bush, and Daniel was talking to Albert.
Although they didn't know each other before, politicians, big stars, and business tycoons are a group in their own right.
"It's full of the country's traditional culture, and it's amazing."
There was inevitably a sense of pride in Daniel's laughter — and even though he is now a friend of the United States, that doesn't stop him from empathizing with China's remarkable Olympic Games.
"I watched that promo, I mean Po's one." Albert suddenly thought of a common topic, after "Kung Fu Panda" swept the Chinese mainland film market, the Olympic Organizing Committee and DD Pictures cooperated to shoot this promotional film, which was widely circulated on youtube and other international Internet media, and it can be said that it has made a great contribution to the promotion of the Beijing Olympic Games.
Albert, as the head of state of the small country of Monaco, does not have too much mystery, and, very interestingly, his mother is the famous Hollywood actress, Princess Grace Kelly of Monaco, it can be said that since he was a child, Albert II knew Hollywood very well, and he certainly did not have any arrogance for Daniel Sandler, who has dominating power in Hollywood.
While watching the opening ceremony, the two chatted quite well.
……
2008 was an important year for both Daniel and DD Pictures.
From the first day of the new year to help the strike calm down, to predicting the earthquake in western China, from the acquisition of Marvel to the announcement of the half-term, it can be said that each of them has attracted great attention. However, with the further spread of the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States, Hollywood as a whole has become a marginal role in public opinion.
The new presidential candidate and the Fed's policies are far more appealing than Hollywood's bad stars, because the global economic crisis is beginning to emerge, and everyone is being affected.
However, Daniel was not absent from the discussions, and his views have always been pessimistic, whether in public or private communication, he has always believed that the crisis will be quite serious. That's why Plutos Investments endured considerable losses while maintaining a huge cash holding.
Once again, Daniel was right.
The Daily Show puts the presidential election and the economic crisis together.
Jon Stewart was very unceremoniously unhappy with the candidates of both parties during the opening Monologue time.
"You can hardly expect one of the two of them to really save the economy, unemployment and bankruptcy. However, there are people who always try to justify the current situation that no one can turn the tide, but can only be solved by slow transformation and recovery, but this is not the case, and Lily, a three-year-old citizen from Texas, knows that person. ”
The screen began to play on the big screen at the scene.
A cute little white girl, muttering in answer to her mother's question.
"Hey Lily, who do you think will be able to save America?"
Lily muttered a name.
"Daniel Sandler!"
The video came to an abrupt end, and the laughter in the background sounded suddenly.
It may be just a joke, a satire of meritocracy, but it has to be said that there are a significant number of people who think that perhaps Daniel would be much better off if he rules the country, even though he is inexperienced and too young. So on the White House petition site, on MB and F2F, this voice becomes more and more.
The DNC's Oba, on the phone, jokingly stated that he was going to ask Daniel to be his deputy — which was of course a joke.
Before the November results came out, except for the DNC bigwigs, the Obama team, and some Republicans, they didn't know that Daniel had chosen a side, although he himself never publicly expressed his position to challenge supporters of both parties, but the bigwigs at the top, everyone knew that Daniel was on Oba's side.
It turned out that he had made the right choice again, or perhaps some people thought it was another prediction they knew – just like the earthquake and 911 across the Pacific.
New leaders, not bringing a new America and a new world, the financial crisis continues.
However, Plutos Investments has begun to make global moves, and people of insight can understand that once the world survives this wave of crisis, Plutos may turn from a social network empire into a large, multi-dimensional, complex and comprehensive wealth empire.
However, in the eyes of the public, the superhero era opened by "Captain America" is even more exciting.
In 2011, "The Avengers" brazenly won $1.8 billion worldwide, which is already after the success of "Captain America", "Iron Man" and "Ant-Man". One has to admit that Marvel has become a new gold mine in the hands of DD Pictures and Daniel.
"The age of superheroes begins with superheroes" – The New York Times.
In its report, the New York Times described Daniel as "the awe-inspiring superhero of our time", saying that he "did everything that is unimaginable, and all the successes he has achieved are brilliant beyond imagination." And at the end, he sighed, "This man who is just in his early thirties has achieved achievements that others can't get in his life, and he should be quite lonely in the rest of his life." ”
Yes, that's what most people think, Daniel's next life should be quite boring, Oscar? It's hard for him to keep taking it, otherwise the Oscars will not be able to do it. As for money and fame, to date, he has reached the top, and the breakthrough has become no longer attractive.
……
"Daniel, are you sure?" Kusa pulled his eyes out of the file.
"Of course."
"It was a very, very big decision, and you didn't do it on the spur of the moment."
"No," Daniel said, "I don't have a wife, let alone a child, and even if I do, I'm not going to give him much." So, as incredible as it may seem, it's a no-brainer. ”
Cusa nodded approvingly.
"Okay, I'll do that, but you don't have a chance to regret it."
"Haha, don't worry, even then, I'm still a super billionaire."
At the end of 2011, on the eve of Christmas, Daniel issued a statement saying that he would hand over all his wealth to the "Science and Technology for All Beings" Foundation, which would be fully reorganized and set up a wealth fund to manage Daniel's huge wealth.
Importantly, Daniel's vast, fear-inspiring social empire will also be placed under the Foundation this time around, subject to some degree of public scrutiny - to avoid accusations that Daniel can manipulate the world.
"He did things that most people would do after the age of 60, such as half-resting shadows, such as donating his wealth, and now it seems that Daniel Sandler, who is 33 years old, intends to live a decades-old retirement, which is really enviable. I'm forty years old, but I'm still as busy as a dog. The Los Angeles Times, the major newspaper that played an important role in the early days of Daniel's career, lamented, "But in any case, he has become the brightest diamond in the crown of Hollywood, and now and for many years to come, Daniel Sandler's name will become a name in Hollywood, and let's rejoice that we are in the same era as the legend." Witness his rise and his end. ”
