The Embassy Hotel in Coconut Grove, Los Angeles, where the 15th Academy Awards ceremony was held, was also the site of the 12th Academy Awards.

The Academy Awards ceremonies have a fixed location, the previous 14 Academy Awards ceremonies, most of them were held at the Biltmore Bowl Hotel in Los Angeles, and later as the Oscars became more and more important, the scale of the event became larger and larger, and the general hotels were unable to host the Academy Awards ceremony, so the 22nd Academy Awards ceremony was moved to the Raiden Hua Pantages Theater, and the 33rd was changed to the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium. The 41st edition began to simply go to the larger Los Angeles Music Center. Today's Oscars are coming to the 3,400-seat Dolby Theater, and according to the signed contract, the Oscars will be held at the Dolby Theater until 2033.

In the 40s, the Oscars were held in the hotel's auditorium, and the whole ceremony was more like a grand reception, with guests dressed in ceremonial dresses and champagne in hand, shuttling between the banquets, talking and touting each other, and only when the awards ceremony began, everyone officially took their seats, waiting for the awards to be announced.

There are few people in the film and television industry, Chen Qiang doesn't know much, so he simply finds a place to sit down and taste the champagne in his hand. And Esther, a big beauty, is surrounded by people like stars holding the moon.

Those who came to the scene had already guessed that Esther had a good chance of winning the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, as a young actor, she could win the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for the first time as the second female lead, which was enough to make Esther an upstart among Hollywood actresses. What's more, Esther has the backing of Chen Qiang, a big financier, this kind of actress with a backstage, of course, will make many people deliberately curry. These filmmakers are counting on Esther in the future!

Chen Qiang wanted to wait quietly for the award ceremony to officially start, but he didn't expect that he couldn't be quiet at all, he sat down for less than thirty seconds, and someone came over with a smile.

It was a Hollywood producer who came and chatted with Chen Qiang for a long time, obviously looking for an opportunity to get closer to Chen Qiang.

Subsequently, Hollywood directors, screenwriters and even actors also came one after another, and they followed this opportunity to approach Chen Qiang, and two screenwriters even chatted with Chen Qiang about their next scripts, which means that they hope that Chen Qiang can invest, and several Hollywood actresses are also constantly flattering Chen Qiang, if Chen Qiang did not bring a female companion today, it is estimated that there will be female stars who will directly give Chen Qiang a hotel room card.

Chen Qiang is also a multimillionaire, and when this kind of rich person appears in Hollywood, there will naturally be many people kneeling and licking. The multimillionaires of this era are equivalent to the billionaires worth more than a billion in later generations, and this kind of rich man is enough to make those handsome men and beautiful women who are mixed in Hollywood willingly offer their butts.

You read that right, there are not only beautiful women, but also handsome men!

Chen Qiang kept dealing with those who wanted to befriend him, and slowly he couldn't remember who he had just met.

"Mr. Chen!" Another voice sounded, and I saw a middle-aged man about fifty years old appear in front of him, and behind the middle-aged man there was a young man about 25 years old, this young man made Chen Qiang have a sense of déjà vu.

Chen Qiang symbolically raised his glass, and then said, "Hello, this gentleman, may I ask?" ”

"My name is Joseph Kennedy." The other party spoke.

"So you are Mr. Kennedy, and you have admired the name for a long time!" Chen Qiang said immediately.

Chen Qiang said that he "has admired the name for a long time", so that it was not a kind word, he really heard the name of Joseph Kennedy.

When Louis Meyer asked Chen Qiang for investment before, he mentioned that Joseph Kennedy Sr. did not want MGM to invest in "Mrs. Minifer", and Chen Qiang knew something about Joseph Kennedy at that time.

Joseph Kennedy Sr. served as U.S. ambassador to the United Kingdom, a position of great importance in the U.S. diplomatic system, second only to foreign minister. However, due to the fact that Joseph Kennedy Sr.'s policy of surrender to Germany was at odds with President Roosevelt's political views, Joseph F. Kennedy Sr. was stripped of his official position and was never appointed by President Roosevelt again.

However, Joseph Kennedy Sr. was not willing to leave the political arena, he ran the family business while training his son to enter the political arena, and eventually established the famous "Kennedy family".

After learning the identity of Joseph Kennedy Sr., Chen Qiang immediately guessed the identity of the young man in his twenties behind Kennedy Sr. was John F. Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States.

In fact, the Kennedy brothers are still somewhat similar in appearance, but the second John F. Kennedy, as the future president of the United States, has the most circulated photos and is the most recognizable, so Chen Qiang still recognizes this young man as John F. Kennedy when he was young.

Sure enough, Joseph Kennedy Sr. opened his mouth and introduced: "This is my son John, who is now serving in the U.S. Navy as the captain of a torpedo ship, and will be on his way to the Solomon Islands next month to fight the Japanese." ”

"Mr. Kennedy is really young and promising." Chen Qiang said with a sincere face.

Chen Qiang knows that this young man is the future president of the United States, although the final ending is embarrassing, but to become the president of the United States, it is definitely not an idle person, and Chen Qiang is sincerely praising Kennedy.

However, the future president of the United States was a little surprised, because he could feel that Chen Qiang's "young and promising" was not a verbal compliment at all, but a very sincere compliment.

"What's the situation? Is this Chinese really praising me? It's so strange! It seems that he really doesn't know how I became the captain of the ship. Kennedy said to himself.

At this time, the Kennedy family focused on cultivating the second John F. Kennedy, but the eldest son, Joseph Kennedy Jr. Joseph Kennedy Jr., as a member of the U.S. Air Force, has gone to the United Kingdom, and Joseph Kennedy Sr. has also paved the way for the eldest son in the future, and when the war is over, after Joseph Kennedy Jr. returns from the United Kingdom, he will use the influence of Kennedy Sr. to participate in the election of the U.S. House of Representatives and officially enter the political arena, and the starting point of Congressman is definitely very high in the political arena.

However, it backfired, and Joseph Kennedy Jr. was killed in Europe in 1944, when he went on a mission to bomb the German V1 missile launch site.

After the death of Joseph Kennedy Jr., the second John F. Kennedy became the hope of the family. It was only then that Kennedy Sr. began to formally train John F. Kennedy, and the responsibility of the entire Kennedy family was pinned on him. In the end, John F. Kennedy lived up to expectations and successfully elected president of the United States.

As a young man, John F. Kennedy was not so good, and he was frail and sickly, suffering from malignant scarlet fever at the age of three, and later being diagnosed with Edison's disease. At the age of 18, he applied to Princeton University, but was rejected by Princeton University, and was finally admitted to Princeton University by relying on Kennedy Sr.'s connections. Later, Kennedy went to study at Harvard University, also thanks to Kennedy Sr.'s efforts, after all, Kennedy Sr. was already the US ambassador to Britain at that time, and the power in his hands was huge, and it was normal for Harvard University to open a back door to Kennedy.

In 1940, Kennedy was drafted into the army, but he failed to pass the physical examination, when Kennedy was drafted in the U.S. Army, compared with the Navy or Air Force, the U.S. Army has relatively low physical requirements, but even so, Kennedy still did not pass, which shows that his physical fitness is really not good.

Fortunately, Kennedy has a good father, although his personal ability is not good, but he can fight for his father! When Kennedy Sr. was the U.S. ambassador to the United Kingdom, he had a naval attaché named Alan Kirk, who returned home and served as the director of Washington's privileged Naval Intelligence Bureau, and with the help of Alan Kirk, Kennedy entered the Naval Officer Reserve School, and after a few months of gilding in the school, he became a second lieutenant in the Navy directly after graduation, and soon became the captain of a torpedo ship.

At that time, the U.S. and Japanese forces were fighting in the South Pacific, and in several battles near the Solomon Islands, both sides had even sunk aircraft carriers, and the losses of other small ships were countless, and at this time, Kennedy received the task of going to Florida to carry out patrol missions in the Panama Canal, which was definitely the safest mission of the U.S. Navy. It was only after the Battle of Guadalcanal that Kennedy was sent to the South Pacific.

In the South Pacific theater, Kennedy's torpedo boat was smashed in two by a Japanese destroyer, and Kennedy swam to an isolated island, where he was later rescued by nearby islanders and saved his life. He then returned to the United States to recuperate from his injuries and retired. The captain of the ship, who was sunk, was called "brave" by the American media because he led his crew to save their lives, and Kennedy also became a headline news figure in major newspapers, and was awarded the World War II Purple Heart, the Asia-Pacific Campaign Medal, the World War II Victory Medal, the Navy Medal, and the Marine Corps Medal. If the ship sinks, you can still get a medal, if there is no operation of Kennedy Sr. behind this, the ghost will not believe it!

Judging by this life experience, John F. Kennedy is really inferior to his older brother Joseph Kennedy Jr. It can be said that Kennedy when he was young was like a second-generation official with no skills, relying on his father's power to gild himself everywhere. Compared to him, his brother is really powerful, not only can he join the Air Force, but he can also carry out tasks at the level of bombing V1 missiles, you must know that only the best pilots in the US military are qualified to complete such tasks.

If Joseph Kennedy Jr. hadn't died in battle, it would not have been John F. Kennedy's turn to appear as a spare tire, and John F. Kennedy, who didn't have to bear the burden of the family, would definitely become a playboy and flirt with his sister everywhere to overdraft his kidney function. After all, Kennedy did live a rotten life before his death, and there were many peach scandals. Among his lovers are not only the famous sexy star, but also White House interns, mafia courtesans, first lady's press secretary, **** and so on.

Having said that, it seems that it is really easier for the president of the United States and the intern of the White House to get together.

At this time, John F. Kennedy had finished his patrol mission on the Panama Canal and was about to leave for the South Pacific. However, those who know the Kennedy family know that this second son is gilded, and no one will think that John F. Kennedy can be the captain of this ship, he is really young and promising.

John F. Kennedy also knew that he relied on his hard work to get to where he is today, and those who complimented him on weekdays were extremely hypocritical. Now that I finally met Chen Qiang, an ignorant person, John F. Kennedy's self-confidence instantly increased.

Old Kennedy also seemed to see that his son had a good impression of Chen Qiang, so he said: "The two of you are about the same age, there must be a common topic, you talk slowly, and I, the old man, will not mix." ”

……

Chen Qiang chatted with the future president of the United States, and talked about women, this topic was brought up by Kennedy, this guy is really amorous, it is estimated that during this time in Los Angeles, he has not been less to harm those Hollywood female stars.

Then the two moved on to other topics.

"Chen, do you have any interest in art?" Kennedy asked.

"What art are you referring to? Painting, sculpture, architecture or something like that? Chen Qiang asked.

"You've got all of that." Kennedy lowered his voice and continued: "Three days later, there was an art exhibition in Los Angeles, sponsored by the British. There are many works of art looted by the British Empire around the world. ”

"The artworks that the British have looted all over the world should have a lot of treasures, and they are indeed worth seeing." Chen Qiang then said.

Kennedy smiled mysteriously and continued: "Although this is an art exhibition, there are also sales and auctions. I know you're a multi-millionaire, so if you're interested in these precious works of art, you might as well check them out! I know the organizers of this art exhibition, and if you value it, I can ask them to give you a discounted price. ”

Kennedy's mysterious appearance made Chen Qiang sensitively aware that things might not be so simple. So he picked up the wine glass, toasted Kennedy, and then asked: "This art exhibition, it shouldn't be that simple, is it, is it that what is going to be exhibited is not ordinary art, but precious cultural relics?" ”

"Haha, it's good if you understand!" Kennedy said with a smile.

"This is tantamount to selling cultural relics, will there be trouble?" Chen Qiang asked cautiously.

"You can rest assured, there will be no trouble." Kennedy looked left and right, and saw that no one was paying attention to this side, so he continued in a very low voice: "The seller behind this art exhibition is actually the British government. Now that the war has been going on, the British side is already a little financially tight, and they plan to sell something to sustain the war! ”
