A group of guys in the office looked at me, their eyes widened, and instantly entered a state of dementia.

"Boss, please repeat what you said just now?" Gary Grant looked at me, thinking that something was wrong with his ear.

"Can can't withdraw from the competition! I can't let it withdraw from the competition! It hasn't enjoyed its own honor yet! You guys, please immediately ask the best doctor in the United States. No matter how much it costs, you must cure it. It is the hope of all Americans in the future. Without it, the United States will be in trouble." I said firm and had a tough attitude.

"Boss, I'm not saying this, it's your last word." Gary Grant licked his lips.

"The last sentence? I'm going to start shooting a movie! A movie about canning!" I sat in a chair and narrowed my eyes.

A few months ago, before the economic crisis broke out, I was thinking about what movie I was shooting.

However, at that time, my head was indeed empty and I didn’t know what to shoot. Moreover, due to the economic crisis, my head was always full of strings. In this mental state, it was naturally impossible to have the heart to carefully plan the new film.

After the economic crisis broke out, although I was busier than before, I gradually became clearer about my next movie.

When I first had a vague concept, I saw people who fell into hell in the stock market at the door of the New York regime exchange. They were crying at the door, some shot themselves, and some jumped off the building. The sadness was like a bullet shot from the opposite side, hitting my heart firmly.

Looking at the empty and desperate eyes of those people and their faces full of tears, I was wondering at the time, can I shoot a movie that cheer them up?

The answer was yes. Later, although I didn't tell anyone about this idea, it became clearer and clearer in my mind. The desire to shoot in my heart became stronger and stronger.

In the days that followed, whether at Todd Browning's funeral or on TV, I saw scenes of tragedy due to the economic crisis, I felt that my decision was not wrong, nor could it be wrong.

With this idea, the rest is what to shoot. In fact, things may become more difficult for me.

Just like a writer who has a great subject in his heart but does not know what method or text to express it, that anxiety is a great torment.

Until that day I watched the race at the racecourse, when I saw those who had nothing due to the economic crisis before entering the racecourse, but were dejected before seeing cans running inside the racecourse and cheering, I suddenly felt that I had caught the core of this new film.

Especially after knowing Anderson Sheldon and after he launched the "Long-Distance Run" and actually pushed cans to the whole of the United States, I made up my mind to make a movie for cans.

Canned food is like a ray of light in the darkness for Americans today. The strong fighting and unyielding spirit emitted by this short and ugly horse will definitely rekindle the confidence of those Americans who are full of despair in their hearts.

And this has a great effect on the Hoover Land New Deal, the development of the US economy, and the reputation of DreamWorks.

"Boss, I think your plan may die." Gary Grant looked at me and said this word by word.

His words made many people, such as Bu Liesong, nodded.

"Why?" I took a sip of tea and looked at Gary Grant with a smile.

Grant spread his hands and said, "There are two reasons. The first and the most important reason. Boss, your plan is indeed great. With canned food as the protagonist, this movie will definitely be both well-known and popular, but this is based on the fact that can run and win this national challenge. You made this movie to motivate the people, but now the canned ligament has broken and has become a waste horse. Even if it is treated well, it will probably bring some bad results to it. I think it is impossible for it to win this game. How can you motivate the Americans with such a horse? It is a loser in itself."

Grant squeezed his eyes and then continued to say the second reason: "Second, I think it's the boss, you didn't consider it. It's already been more than November, and there is still one month before the Christmas movie schedule. Is it enough to shoot a movie?"

Grant's voice was not loud, but it made everyone sitting in the office hear it clearly.

His words also made the people next to him look stern.

Many people looked at me with a hint of suspicion.

They obviously agree with Gary Grant's ideas, these two reasons, are very correct.

But I burst into laughter in their negative eyes.

"Boss, why are you laughing? Am I wrong?" Gary Grant asked looking at me.

I shook my head and said, "It's not that you said something wrong. You made some sense, but I still haven't seen the essence of the matter."

I stood up and walked between them, and everyone's eyes in the office were gathering on me.

"Everyone, do you think the audience likes canned just because it runs fast?" I asked a question first.

"I think so. If he ran like ordinary bad horses every time he ran, who would like it?" Visconti answered first.

"Who among you still has this kind of thought?" I glanced at these people one by one.

Some of them nodded and some shook their heads, but the majority of them were shaken.

"Yasel. Tell me your thoughts." I pointed at Yasel.

He is the representative of a group of people who shake their heads.

Yassel took a sip of cigarette and said, "Okay! Let me tell you. I think the reason why American audiences like canned food from the bottom of their hearts is not just because it runs fast. Visconti said it makes sense if canned food doesn't run so fast, like ordinary bad horses, no one likes it. But now there is a question: American fast-running horses can't lose in numbers. But why do people like canned food so crazy?"

Yassel looked at Gary Grant and looked at Visconti and continued: "It's not just because the cans run fast, but more importantly, as a bad horse, it can also appear on the track and run with those tall thoroughbred horses!"

"The people like it, the spirit of unyielding, the spirit of fighting against fate and life, the spirit of struggle and confidence. This is the fundamental reason why canned food is now loved by people of different ages, genders and ethnic groups across the United States."

Yassel said my thoughts.

"Did you hear it clearly? Yassel is right. The reason why the people like canned is because they see hope in a bad horse. When watching the canning competition, they will find that a bad horse can run so well and so confidently."

"So, in this sense, since the can appeared on the track and ran with those tall horses, it was a winner. Next, the competitions and the victory after another were just carrying forward its spirit."

"This national challenge, no matter whether it can win the final victory. No matter how far it can run, it is a winner, because it uses its own actions and running, allowing everyone to see where hope and confidence are!"

"It is precisely because of this. Even if the canned food can never run again this time, or if it loses the game, it will win people's respect and love."

"And the movie we filmed will definitely resonate with the people emotionally, and success is inevitable."

Yassel was in front and I was in the back. We spoke with both of us to reverse the atmosphere in the office, and even Gary Grant and Visconti agreed.

"As for the second question, whether a movie can be shot within a month. I think it is impossible to accomplish in other film companies, but we are DreamWorks. There is nothing impossible in DreamWorks."

I grinned and said, "I think a month is enough. Moreover, this month is a huge challenge for canning, for our DreamWorks, and for the entire American. Wouldn't it be nice to meet the challenge together?"

"Andre is right!" Before I finished speaking, Coolidge flashed and walked in and put it inside.

"I listened to your conversation outside for a while, and I think Andre saw the key to the problem. I personally think that this movie will be successful, and it will definitely be successful."

"Andre's last words came to my heart. In the next month, it will be a very difficult task for canned food to recover and return to the track and win the championship, and for DreamWorks, making a movie a month is definitely a big challenge."

"The most important thing is the American people. Now Hoover has just issued relevant measures for the New Deal. Some people in the United States are skeptical about the New Deal, and some people welcome them, but whether they are suspicious or welcomed, they have no idea. There is another month that is Christmas. Hoover once promised that every American people have a chicken in their pot. In a month, if the living conditions of the American people do not improve at all, then Hoover and the Republican Party will be completely finished, and the American people will be ready to endure the hardships. This month is also a challenge for the United States. So let's welcome them together!"

"Do it well! The guys in DreamWorks never give in!" Gans screamed.

"shoot!"

"Boss, we support you!"

A group of people rubbed their fists and their palms, their faces full of excitement and excitement.

Looking at them, I laughed happily.

"Andre, I think you should go to Topeka now." Coolidge looked at me and said in a deep voice.

"Go to Topeka?" After hearing Coolidge's words, Yassel, who was beside me, looked full of doubts and then smiled relievedly: "Boss, you should indeed go to Topeka. The canned food is so severely injured, so you need to go there to cheer up. And now the eyes of the American people are gathering there, and you are posting news about making a new film there, and I think it will definitely achieve good results."

"Andre, there is no backbone there now. If you go, we will have a bottom line. The Americans who have always cared about canned food will have a bottom line in their hearts." Coolidge patted my shoulder.

"I'll go." I nodded.

On November 11, the weather forecast on this day said that the first snow may come.

Before dawn, I showed up at Los Angeles Airport with a group of people. The Red Dragon plane was quietly parked on the runway and waited for us.

When we boarded the plane, it started to snow lightly in the sky, and it became heavier and heavier.

The plane took off in the gloomy weather and flew towards Topeka.

Topeka, the capital of Kansas. As a central city in the United States, this state has always been a geographical center.

In the long-distance running plan for canning, the battle in the central region is the most difficult battle.

North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas, these six central U.S. states are the fifth stop of the canned long-distance running program.

In other words, in this stop, canned food must face top experts from six major states.

This is also the most severe challenge that canned food faces the largest number of participating states since the start of the long-distance running program.

The horse racing level in these six states has always been very high, especially Kansas, which plays a dominant position in the central region. Therefore, the competition venue for this stop was held in Topeka, the capital of Kansas.

It's not very far from Los Angeles to Topeka. After two hours of flight, I saw the outline of the city.

At this time, it was already dawn. But I couldn't see the sun when I went there.

The sky is snowing, and from above, the city is submerged in a vast vastness.

The sky was gray, which made the mood of the people in the cabin feel heavy.

More than ten minutes later, the plane stopped at Topeka's airport.

The airport is not very big, but it is built very magnificently.

"It's so heavy snow." Walking out of the cabin, Gans shrank his neck. "You guy, I asked you to lead a team to Cannes to attend the film festival, but you won't go. If you go, you are now drinking champagne and flirting with beautiful women in a small town with elegant environment." I gave Gans a blank look.

Gans immediately smirked: "Boss, don't say it, I really regret it now. But it's the same with Munau and Stiller. They are all familiar with Europe and are both directors, which are more suitable than me. I still want to stay in the United States. Now the country is in chaos. DreamWorks is facing such a severe situation. I am not in the mood to drink champagne and flirt with beauties."

Gans's words sounded like a righteous and stern word, but they always felt that they didn't taste that way.

A group of people came out of the airport, but did not go out from the main entrance, but left from the back door. There, Kava and House had already sent people to greet them.

"Boss, I finally waited for you!" Kava's eyes suddenly turned red when she saw me.

I can understand his mood.

Canned food is the place he discovers and also the place he takes care of. For him, this horse is like his own child. If such a thing happens, he will not be sad. It is unwilling to do so.

A group of people got into the car quickly and the car slowly left the airport.

"Kava, tell me the can in detail." I said in a deep voice.

Kava nodded, squeaked her nose and said, "Boss, this is the thing. The competition was held on the afternoon of the 9th. It was held at Topeka's largest racecourse, Topeka Racecourse. All three horses, including cans, were arranged to be on the court. The racecourse that can accommodate 50,000 people was packed, and even the open space was crowded. This competition was very difficult. We had studied the specific situation of each horse that participated in the competition in detail. These horses, without exception, were rare good horses, and there were several of them not only Zi'an, but also the top horses in the world."
