"I had a dream ......when I was a child," said Durin without the slightest timidity in the face of many guests and reporters, and after greeting everyone, he smiled and began to speak, "I dream that I will ride the White Pearl on the ocean, I dream that one day I will fly to the top of the clouds on a huge strange bird, and I dream that one day I will be an amazing person." He shrugged his shoulders, "This dream is about to come true!"

People let out a friendly laugh, even if Mr. 350,000 left Illian for a year, he is still a legend and one of the representative figures of Illian. Whenever a tourist comes here, there will be a guide to introduce them to the manor on the cliff, the owner of the manor and what he has done. There is no doubt that he is definitely a successful person.

The good-natured laughter makes the atmosphere here very integrated, even if it is cold winter at this time, I feel that the surroundings are inexplicably warmer.

"Everyone has many dreams, some of which we can achieve through our own efforts, but there are also some dreams that may always be just a vision of our fantasy world. But in the world of cinema, through the efforts of brilliant actors, directors, screenwriters and many more practitioners, perhaps some of our once vain dreams will appear on the screen in a different form. ”

"Some scholars think that film is a vulgar performance to please the public, and I have a different view from them, I think that film is also an art ......", suddenly there was a sparse applause around him, and this applause quickly gathered into an amazing force, and the people who kept raising their hands and applauding were very much in agreement with Dühring's statement, and those who worked in the film industry regarded Dührin as a confidant.

With Durin's prestige and status, what he says today will definitely appear in some newspapers tomorrow, which may not change some people's preconceived notions about them, but it is also a kind of change, a process of pursuing dreams. In addition to money and fame, perseverance has also changed the way people think about movies, actors, and everyone.

Dühring smiled and raised his hand, nodding his head from time to time, and the applause lasted for a while before stopping, and he continued: "Cinema is an art, an art of performance, which can show us all the impossible things that we fantasize about and dream of in a more intuitive way, and let us know that it is not a dream, maybe somewhere, maybe in another time and space, what we fantasize about is what is happening. ”

"When His Excellency Horston told me that he was going to establish the 8th District, I was very inspired, and it was a good thing for all the fans and all the staff who love cinema, and even put the 8th District on the monument of moving the art of film culture and steady progress. History was born at this moment, gentlemen, history will be remembered today, at this time, everything we have done for the film industry!"

"Welcome to the 8th arrondissement!"

After saying the last sentence sonorously, Dührin smiled and waved his hand, and walked off a makeshift small stage, where people applauded for Dühring's brief words, and some filmmakers gathered around Dührin when he left the small stage, eager to talk to Dührin about the art of film. It is rare to be able to appear in such a big man who can understand film work and deeply analyze film culture. Perhaps they could find something more valuable from Durin's body.

Hoston's eyes were a little strange, Durin's words were actually very simple, but at this time and place, they had considerable appeal. He is a very smart young man, and he knows when to say what to say to win people's attention and approval, which is not an easy task.

Talking, everyone can speak, but many people can't speak well, and they don't know if they should speak at some point.

When Hoston felt the charisma and talent that Durin had not shown in the past, his heart suddenly tightened, was it possible for Durin, who he regarded as a future Olympic aid, to become his enemy? It is not impossible, and with Durin's ability, if he wants to compete for the position of governor of Cosenas, it may not be too difficult. He has experience in the management and development of the construction of the city of Otis, and at the same time has considerable connections, the key is that he has money.

People always think that elections are about talent and ability, and these are all wrong views. In this society where capital is king, no matter how good your political ideas are, how brilliant your framework theory is for a region, but no one knows this, how can people choose you? If you want people to know, you need to constantly print all kinds of posters and pamphlets, you need to give speeches everywhere and keep appearing in people's eyes.

All of this costs money, and it costs a lot of money!

Harry did a lot of work when he was running for governor, and one of the things that can be said to have laid a strong foundation for him to become governor was to invite guests to dinner.

He invited three million workers from all over the state of Cosenas to three meals, and if one worker needed thirty-five cents for one meal, he spent almost four million on this activity.

It worked, he made him known to all the ordinary class who had the right to vote, and under the influence of these three meals he voted for the "friend of the workers", so he won by a large margin and became governor.

And what about Horston himself?

Million...... He didn't, a million is about the same, the main motivation and reason why he can fantasize about the governorship of Cosenas is still Harry, and with Harry's nomination, he is equivalent to inheriting most of the influence left by Harry in Cosenas. But what if Durin jumps out? Can he stop him?

The smile on the face of the Lord, who was still very happy, also stiffened a little, and he had to talk to Dorin.

The inauguration of the 8th District was a lively one, and it will soon be known that it was a great achievement of his time in Illion.

After the unveiling ceremony was over, Hochton invited Durin to eat alone at Alexander's hotel, and the two chose the restaurant on the third floor, which was the only one table in the hundreds of square meters, and two people.

During the winter break, the third floor of the hotel will be completely empty, and it will become an important place to talk about things.

"It's a wonderful speech, I feel full of energy after listening to it!", Horston sat next to Durin and handed him a cigarette before the food was served, and the two of them swallowed the clouds, "I know you did a good job in Otis City, and Harry is leaving in three years, have you considered the place he left?"

Durin smoked his cigarette and shook his head, "You say you are running for governor? Maybe I'm not suitable, the gubernatorial nomination is a very critical signal, there was some small friction between me and Harry, he won't nominate me." And if I wanted to run for governor at my age, do you think the mainstream middle class would approve of me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Horston's heart was relieved, and without Harry's nomination, it would be difficult for the mainstream middle class in Cosenas — a family with members in their thirties to their fifties — to approve of Doolin. This is something that Hochston in politics knows better than Dooling, and when some in the old party propose to separate the middle class from the lower strata of society and form a whole new class, it is the middle class that supports them the most.

This society is definitely not as simple and kind as people see with their eyes, a young person full of vitality and enthusiasm after more than ten years of hard work, from hundreds or even more peers to break free, climbed to a new level, what they want at this time is definitely not change, what they need is stability. Solidify the classes that have been formed but do not speak explicitly, and consolidate the gains and benefits of their past efforts.

These people are more inclined to older politicians, at least these older politicians will not come up with a measure today, have an idea tomorrow, and will not change the solid social structure.

It can be said that the middle class is the largest interest group in the empire, and they need fortresses that cannot be breached, not cannonballs that can destroy the walls!

Hothton nodded, "Are you going to stay in Otis City, or do you have any other ideas?"

Durin glanced at him with a smirk, "You seem to want me to move the place?"

Horston, who was seen through by Durin, was actually not embarrassed at all, he waved his hand again and again, "No, no, no, you misunderstood, I just think that you are still young, and you should have the desire and motivation to challenge everything, unlike us half-old men who have lost their self-motivation." ”

"I remember you told me when you took me to Otis that you were going to run for governor over there?", Durin flicked his cigarette ash, "Do you think I'm a bit in the way?"

This sentence made Horston a little tired, "How come? Actually, if the two of us can help each other, it will be more meaningful than me or you fighting alone." If you don't leave the city of Otis and don't leave the state of Cosenas, it's a good thing for me, at least I already have my own people there. ”

"Your own people?", Durin nodded noncommittally, snuffing out the cigarette in the ashtray, "Then let's wait and see!"

During the meal, Hothton talked about Doolin's winery, and then extended the conversation to his purchase of most of the islands in the Empire's inland sea. Some time ago, some merchants also wanted to buy these islands of different sizes, but they soon found that the islands within the range of Illian were already Dürin's private islands, and the rest of the islands were similar. So some people hoped that Horston could contact Dulin to see if he could sell a few to them.

And the cause of this incident is also related to another international event.
