The Wolf of Los Angeles.

Hollywood has countless examples of how powerful a good movie can be in promoting a film.

Putting aside everything else, Hawke's personally produced film, *Los Angeles Fire*, played an extremely important role in the last California gubernatorial election.

It even permanently branded the California Democratic Party as a symbol of shame.

Today, the Democratic Party's influence in California is limited to the area around San Francisco.

Moreover, as the Silicon Valley tech scene has turned red for profit, the Democratic Party in San Francisco has faced a serious challenge.

The Occupy San Francisco movement lasted for more than a year, resulting in an unusually large number of LGBTQ+ individuals in San Francisco. San Francisco has now replaced Los Angeles as the stronghold of the LGBTQ+ movement in North America.

At the end of the workday, Eric invited Hawke and Tom Cruise to dinner.

The three of them randomly picked a restaurant in Burbank and chatted while eating.

After discussing "Sugar Baby," Eric mentioned something from before: "I have a general idea for my next film."

Hawke recalled the topic he had provided and asked, "About Sillari?"

Tom Cruise said, "It's a hot topic, and it seems like there are companies in the industry that want to make a biopic about Shirley."

Hawke hadn't heard of it and asked, "Which company is planning to film this?"

“The Weinstein Company.” Tom Cruise’s remark was not surprising at all: “Shortly after the attack on Hillary Clinton, Harvey Weinstein was actively working to raise funds and lobby Donald Party members to develop this film.”

Having experienced several Oscar competitions, Eric knew a lot: "Harvey's goal was definitely to win the Oscar for Best Picture."

He looked at Hawke: "There are rumors that Harvey is a dog that the Hillarys keep in Hollywood, and that the films Harvey makes are definitely biased towards praising Hillary."

In the past, the Weinstein brothers were indeed the front men for the Hillary couple, but nothing stays the same forever, and some things will always change with social realities.

Hawke asked Tom Cruise, "You know more about the inner workings of Hollywood, do you? The Weinstein brothers still have dealings with the Loathen brothers?"

Tom Cruise shook his head: "All I have is the information on the surface. On the surface, the two don't seem to be very close anymore. I haven't heard of them having any contact in a long time."

The Democrats certainly want to portray Hillary Clinton as an American hero who sacrificed her life for freedom and democracy.

From a political perspective, the Democratic Party has benefited greatly from the deaths, but it is not easy to draw a definitive conclusion.

During the campaign, Tom Emmer and Hillary Clinton fought fiercely, their rivalry transcending the boundaries of political competition and escalating into a personal feud.

Although Hillary Clinton's death forced Tom Emer to issue a series of condolence statements and mobilize the U.S. military to launch a large-scale retaliatory counterterrorism operation, the White House under his leadership will absolutely not give Hillary Clinton official recognition.

The Democratic Party wants to maximize the impact of Hillary Clinton's political legacy, and besides the official route, they can also pursue it through the media.

Hollywood movies are undoubtedly the best means of transmission.

Over the years, through movies, a seemingly purely entertainment tool, the United States has instilled its values ​​into the world.

As one of Hillary's biggest enemies, Hawke, in a move that aimed to destroy her morale, told Eric, "I support your idea of ​​making a true Hillary biopic that reflects the real Donald politician."

Eric's films have achieved great success precisely because of their connection to political and social realities. This is his livelihood, and he is closely tied to Hawke and Brian, so it's impossible for him to leave halfway through.

"Once 'Sugar Baby' is finished, I will immediately begin writing the script for the new film." Knowing that this involved a prominent figure in the Democratic Party, a former First Lady, Eric knew he couldn't afford to act rashly. He specifically told Hawke, "I need a lot of material to support my scriptwriting."

Hawke noted it down and said, "When you go to the Butterfly Company near the Venice docks later, I'll talk to Campos. Some information about Sillaly shouldn't be leaked."

Eric replied, "I understand."

After the three finished dinner, Tom Cruise and Eric both got into Hawke's armored van and returned to Beverly Hills together.

Hawke never underestimates the impact of a great film. He is still considering Harvey Weinstein's project and told Tom Cruise, "You're an insider in Hollywood and know more about the inside story. Pay close attention to Harvey and his experts on film. If you're short-handed, contact Edward directly and let him help you coordinate."

Tom Cruise, who had been following Hawke around for years and reaping all the benefits, didn't hesitate at all and said, "Leave the investigation into Harvey to me."

He also controlled a considerable amount of power.

Hawke nodded slightly; he also knew a great deal about Tom Cruise.

After getting rid of Nicole Kidman and Pat Kinsley, two major troublemakers, Tom Cruise, on his advice, quickly got back on track and became one of the top superstars in the industry alongside Leonardo DiCaprio.

Moreover, in terms of star power, Tom Cruise is far superior to Leonardo DiCaprio.

These feedbacks went directly to the Scientology organization.

Previously, Tom Cruise was a high-ranking member of Scientology, but his position was not high enough.

Now, he is the second-in-command of Scientology.

Once the leader boarded the so-called super spaceship and went on a space voyage, Tom Cruise immediately took over as the leader of the Church of Scientology.

In Hawke's view, Scientology, like the LGBTQ movement, is a cult that cannot bring him any benefits.

But the United States is certainly a model organization for scientific education that can bring benefits.

There are far too many similar religious groups in America.

Tom Cruise gained too much by following Hawke, and the position of leader was within his grasp. He firmly believed that he would inevitably become the leader.

There are competitors, of course, but with Hawke and Brian as their backers, they will surely disappear.

For example, swimming in the Pacific Ocean.

When Hawke got home, he found Erica sitting in the living room waiting for him, clearly having something to say.

Erica took his coat, hung it on the hanger, poured him a glass of water, and said, "I'm getting a promotion soon. It should be next month. The first deputy director of the Special Operations Bureau is retiring, and I will be taking over his position."

Upon hearing this, Hawke immediately put down his water glass, went behind the bar, grabbed a bottle of champagne and two glasses, and said, "Honey, we should have a drink to celebrate."

Erica took the champagne, poured two glasses, raised one to clink with Hawke's, and said, "After the promotion, I basically won't be going to the front lines anymore."

Hawke took a sip of his drink and said with a smile, "The ruthless female detective is officially a thing of the past."

Erica hasn't worked on the front lines for a long time, saying, "That's all in the past. My future job will be to oversee training, weapons and equipment, and personnel coordination."

Hawke, without missing a beat, said, "The Special Operations Bureau can be approved to purchase more drones."

Erica smiled brightly: "Training takes a lot of toll."

Hawke placed his hand on her and said, "People who exercise a lot are prone to gaining weight if they suddenly reduce their exercise." "It's okay, I can make up for it in other ways." Alila grabbed Hawke's arm and pulled him towards the gym downstairs, saying, "There are lots of machines there, and each one offers a unique experience."

“I’ve been wanting to try out the weighted squat you’ve been bragging about for ages.” Hawke automatically followed.

As she gets older, Erica's mindset is also changing. After being promoted, she is completely removed from the front line and it is unlikely that she will be promoted again in the short term, so her career has come to a temporary end.

It's time to test Hawk's marksmanship.

What happened next in the gym, if it happened in Saint-Germain, would be enough to be made into an art film.

…………

Waldorf Astoria Hotel, Manhattan, New York.

Harvey Weinstein walked briskly into the business hall on the second floor.

An assistant who was waiting there led him into a meeting room.

Sitting here is an elderly man with white hair who is nearly 70 years old.

Harvey recognized him and went up to shake his hand: "Good afternoon, Joe."

Joseph Lowden, who looked kind and gentle, smiled and said, "Please, take a seat."

Harvey sat down in the seat next to him and asked his assistant for a briefcase.

The assistant voluntarily left the meeting room.

Joseph said with a smile, "I called you here today because I want to discuss something with you."

With Sillari gone to heaven and Zipton hiding in his family farm, Harvey lost his two biggest backers and was powerless to fight against the bigwigs in the Donald Party. He said, "Joe, just tell me what you need, as long as I can do it."

Joseph, who is very well-informed and has been paying close attention to people and events related to Hillary since the London attacks earlier this year, said, "Someone told me that you are planning to make a biopic about Hillary?"

"Yes, there are indeed plans in this regard, but they haven't been implemented yet." Harvey had called the behind-the-scenes boss, Lancelotton, about this, and Lancelotton didn't object.

He spread the news in an attempt to gain more support.

A film like this has virtually no chance of becoming a commercial success; the best way to profit is still through the Oscars.

If they can get support from within the Donald Party, the chances of winning the prize are likely to be even greater.

Harvey added, "Sirius dedicated herself to freedom and democracy. Her extraordinary life is perfect for a movie adaptation. She was a champion of democracy and a great political figure who should not be forgotten. I want to use a great movie to etch Sirilus into the history of America."

Joseph affirmed, "Your idea is excellent. America needs to carry on Silla's spirit and noble character. The content and theme of the film must be carefully considered..."

Harvey has been acting as a front man for the Hillary couple for years and understands this deeply. He said directly, "If you have any ideas about this film, you can tell me, and I will make the corresponding adjustments."

Hollywood moguls have little leverage and are powerless to challenge political heavyweights.

If Zipperton had stepped forward to actively address the London attacks, Harvey would not have hesitated to reject Joseph.

But he knew that the powerful couple behind the scenes were only superficially harmonious.

Couples who turn against each other are true enemies.

Even if the other party were to be smashed to pieces, it would not quell the hatred in my heart.

There's no going back on Sillari's actions, and Zipperton is probably secretly pleased.

It is said that Zipperton is already a veteran sugar daddy on the Sugar Baby website.

Before Joseph approached Harvey, he had prepared by having someone pull out a thick stack of documents, saying, "You've perfectly integrated this content into the biographical film."

Harvey, without even looking at it, replied, "No problem."

He wasn't one to back down either, saying, "After the economic crisis, film companies have been facing a tight budget. The big-budget film 'Inglourious Basterds' only had mediocre box office returns, and it will take a long time to turn a profit, which means I can't raise the production funds in a short time."

Joseph, a seasoned veteran, knew that you had to offer benefits to people to keep them focused on their work. He said, "Don't worry about the funding. A company will contact you next week to help you with your financing."

Harvey grinned, his fat cheeks jiggling. "Then I have no problem."

Joseph, however, asked, "When will the film be completed? When can it be released?"

This film is directly related to politics, and it's a nationwide issue, so Harvey didn't dare to speak carelessly and considered it carefully for a while.

It's only the beginning of the 2010 summer season, and the next election is in 2012.

Harvey stated decisively, "The film will be released no later than November or December 2011, competing for the 2012 Oscars. I am confident that it will win a major Oscar and make the film a part of film history."

“Very good.” Joseph smiled kindly again. “Remember what you told me: don’t let people down.”

Harvey could guess that Hillary's running mate from the last election was preparing to run in the 2012 general election.

He said, "The film will be edited and sent to you before its release so you can take a look."

Seeing that the fat man was quite savvy, Joseph smiled and said, "You're a smart man, you won't let me down."

Harvey smiled and then said a few words specifically about the Oscar race.

Joseph will use his connections to help him further his career in Hollywood.

Although Hollywood is undergoing many changes under the influence of the social environment in California and Los Angeles, the majority of people still support the Democratic Party.

Joseph waved his hand, signaling someone to escort Harvey out.

After the person left, he took out a newspaper, which reported on the US military's counter-terrorism operations in northwestern Iraq.

Following a large-scale airstrike, and with the assistance of the Iraqi government forces, U.S. ground troops swept through the city, capturing Qaim, the stronghold of the Shamddu group, and conducted a large-scale terrorist screening in the city.

A large number of militants have been arrested and will be tried and punished by the Baghdad authorities.

Some important figures were taken away by the CIA and transferred to Guantanamo Bay prison, where they were exploited to the fullest extent of their value.

In addition, the U.S. military officially announced that it had completely destroyed Shamdo's command structure in the airstrike, killing Shamdo's founder and leader, Jurani. (End of Chapter)
