Chapter 988 The presidential candidate of 1932 Chapter 989 The premiere of "Dead Poets Society" (Par(1/3)
At the end of June, the premiere of "Death Poetry Club" was held on the Yale University campus.
The students of Yale University cooperated very much and showed great welcome. The premiere was held at the center of the school, where a huge premiere was built. The students who originally occupied the confrontation between the school and the government finally allowed outsiders to enter the campus this time.
Of course, there were many celebrities who came to participate in the premiere of this movie. US President Rootman was present in person. At his request, relevant officials from the government's education department were also present. In addition, all the principals of major universities in the United States were absent. Next were Hollywood filmmakers, relevant personnel from all walks of life and the vast number of students.
This premiere should be the strangest audience composition among all DreamWorks movies.
On June 28, I arrived in New Haven City with a group of people from the crew, and Gans and others had already rushed over. He was responsible for arranging the premiere venues and screenings.
On the day we arrived in New Haven, the weather was very good, the sun was very strong, and the sun was a little drowsy. The place in New Haven is not very big, but the scenery was very good, which made people feel energetic.
Gans arranged me in a hotel near the bay. Standing on the balcony, you can see the sea. It is a place to take a nap with a nice scenery.
Not long after staying in the hotel, people came to visit. At first, they were local government officials, the mayor of New Haven, and the representatives of students, followed by some guests who came to attend the premiere. I was so tired that I was almost exhausted when I received this reception.
In the evening, I told Kava that if someone came to visit me again, I would say that I was a little uncomfortable and sick.
Then, I carried the lounge chair alone to the balcony and lay there looking at the sea opposite. The sun was no longer so dazzling. When the sea breeze blew, it was very comfortable. I lay there and fell asleep in a short while.
I don’t know how long it took, but I was pushed to wake up by Kava.
"Boss, someone is here to visit." Kava smiled.
"Visit. Didn't I say that I'm sick?" I became impatient.
"Boss, I think you should meet this person. It's President Rutman." Kava whispered.
"Rutman? He won't arrive tomorrow? OK, let him in." I stood up from the recliner and sorted out my clothes.
Shortly after Kava went out, she brought Rutman over.
Rutmann did not wear a suit and tie, but was wearing a plaid shirt, making him look more and more energetic.
"Andre, I didn't expect you to come earlier than me." As soon as I walked over, Rutman grabbed my hand.
"It's natural that the premiere has come earlier. You can't let so many people wait." I laughed.
Kava brought another recliner, and we sat on the balcony and chatted with the sea breeze.
"This place is great. I live in a hotel in New Haven. It's really boring." Rutman looked at the bay in the distance and was amazed.
"My temper is well known to me, so I arranged this place." I nodded.
"I heard you're sick?" Rutman asked with concern.
"I'm not tired yet. People have been visiting each other all day since the morning. I can't bear it anymore." I stuck out my tongue.
Rutman laughed and said, "When I came, I saw Roosevelt's car in the parking lot in front of the hotel. That guy came too."
"Come on, it's so lively when there are too many people." I lit a cigarette.
"Andre, I really have to thank you this time. If you don't make this movie, I don't know when this matter can be solved." Rutman shook his head, and it can be seen that he was very troubled by this matter during this period.
"This matter has a lot to do with me. Who asked those students to hang out my red dragon flag?" I shrugged.
"Andre, I'm here this time. In addition to attending the premiere, there are actually some things I want to talk to you in person." Rutman said this, his tone began to become heavier.
"You just tell me what's going on. Anyway, there's no one here in the end." I laughed.
Actually, I had guessed that this guy came here this time, probably not just for the premiere.
Rutman scratched his head, not knowing where to start.
"Andre, this year is already 1931." After hesitating for a long time, he said something that made me confused.
"Yes, what's wrong?" I asked.
Rutman was a little embarrassed and said to me: "Next year, 1932, we will be preparing to elect the president."
"Oh..." I suddenly realized.
It turns out that this guy came for this matter.
Not bad. Since Herbert Hoover's death, Vice President Rootman has been taking over, and it has been two or three years since his calculations. In this incident, generally speaking, Ruotman's work has been pretty good. At the beginning, he might have made some mistakes, but during the subsequent period, his work has become better and better. He handled some emergencies very well, as well as dealing with the assassination of me, the Federal Reserve incident and the leading student incident. It can be said that he still has a certain prestige in the minds of the people now, at least much higher prestige than when he just took over the president.
The presidential election will be prepared next year, which means that the Democratic and Republican parties will start preparing for the end of this year, and it will only take a few months to calculate it.
Things go by so fast.
When Rutman just took over the president, he was just an over-the-top president and he would hand it over to the next term once the time came. But now it seems that this guy is a little nostalgic on the throne of the president, and is afraid he wants to seek re-election.
"Andre, we are both friends, so I just said all the things. At the beginning, I really didn't want to be a president. I felt that I was not that kind of material. But over the past period, I became more and more confident and liked this job very much. So..." Rutman said here, not knowing what to say.
"So you want to be re-elected, right?" I smiled.
"Not bad. Not bad." Rutman laughed too.
"It's okay to be re-elected! Hahaha. Brian, I didn't expect you guys to be my old path." Just as I was chatting with Rutman, Coolidge walked out of the room and sat down opposite us.
"Brian, you have a good idea. When President Harding died in office, I also replaced him. I was not used to it at first. But I became more and more interested in it, and finally got re-elected. It was very good." Coolidge is very experienced in this matter, after all, he has done such a thing.
Rutman was a little embarrassed. He looked at the two of us and said, "I just wanted to ask you, do you think if I seek re-election, the chances are high? Moreover, there are still many talents in the Republican Party now. If others don't say it, just Harry Truman from your Rockettke Consortium is a talent. How long has he been the governor of California, he has done the work in the state vividly."
Rutman's words made Coolidge and I look at each other, and smiles appeared on our faces.
This Rutman has a lot of fun intestines.
Before the official election, both the Republican and the Democratic Party must first elect candidates. If Rutman wants to be re-elected, he must pass this level. For the Republican Party, there are still many excellent people in the party, at least there are many people who are worse than Rutman. Rutman is a little old and has no outstanding abilities. In front of some rookies in the party, he naturally seems a little lacking. Today, this guy comes here, probably just to explore our tone and see if we will let Truman participate in the presidential election. If we elect Truman dialect, then he will be a little dangerous.
In terms of personal charm, Rutman is obviously not a match for Truman. And if we recommend Truman, with the huge propaganda and public opinion control ability of the Lockettke consortium, Rutman is not very likely to win. So if he wants to be re-elected, he must ensure that we can support him the most.
"Brian, you're thinking a little too much about this." Coolidge laughed.
"What does it mean?" Rutt asked mama.
"We won't let Harry run for president." Coolidge smiled.
"Why? Harry is so excellent." Rutman's words were obviously a bit disgusting. I heard that we were not going to let Truman run for the election, so this guy smiled a little relieved.
"It's very simple. Harry is too young. He jumped directly from the Los Angeles Court Justice to the governor of California, and his steps were already a little faster. It's obviously inappropriate to let him run for president not long after he became governor. Although he may have some excellence in his personal abilities, the president sometimes cannot do it alone, but more importantly, experience. Harry lacks in this regard. He's better to train in the governor's position for two years, and wait until his wings are full, and then sprint. Now is not the time." Coolidge grinned.
In fact, Coolidge and I have talked about the election of this presidential term. We have discussed the election countless times. On this issue, we reached a consensus that Truman will not be allowed to run for president no matter what.
Although we want Truman, who was born in DreamWorks, to be on the throne of president, and although it is a matter of time before Truman runs for president, it is not at this time.
The fundamental reason is what Coolidge said: Truman is too young and has just taken the position of governor and is about to attack the US president less than a year ago. It is not enough in terms of experience and prestige.
He needs to be tempered, and then sprinted after he is tempered. This is a natural thing. If he sprinted too early, it will be a kind of harm to him and it will encourage him to grow.
We also sought opinions from Truman himself on this point. The guy completely agreed with Coolidge and me, and said that he was indeed too young and wanted to exercise in the position of governor for a few years and then sprint for the next president.
So after discussing Coolidge and I thought this was the way to do it.
"Brian. Don't worry, Andre and I still support you." Coolidgedi's words made Rutman happy, and at the same time, he also showed a very grateful expression on his face.
"Although you may lack a little in your personal ability, you have experience. Over the past few years, you have a good understanding of all kinds of situations in the United States. More importantly, as Herbert's deputy, you know the specifics of the New Deal. If you want to ensure that the New Deal can be implemented, you are the best candidate."
"Also, for the United States, what is most needed now is stability and stability. The overall situation of the country's operation is good now. If this trend is maintained, the United States will definitely get out of this economic depression. If another person is replaced, the new policy will definitely be changed to a certain extent, and the country will become turbulent at that time. This kind of turbulence is not good for anyone."
Coolidge analyzed it carefully, looked at Rutman and said, "Brian, Herbert is my best friend and Andre. You are his successor and our friend, so at this point, we are fully supporting you, you can let go
After hearing Coolidge's words, Rutman nodded, and he had a reassurance.
Within the Republican Party, Coolidge and I still have a lot of influence. As long as we elect Rutman and there is a group of people in the party to support him, Rutman will not have any problem becoming the final presidential candidate. Rutman knows this very well.
"Calvin, Andre, I will remember your kindness to me," said Rutman solemnly.
"All friends, don't say these words." Coolidge patted Rutman on the shoulder and said, "Who will the candidates on the Democratic Party be? Do you know now?"
"Who else? No one in the Democratic Party can surpass Roosevelt." Roosevelt said, and Rutman's face turned gloomy.
Whether in terms of personal abilities or experience in handling things, Rutman is no match for Roosevelt at all.
In terms of personal ability, Roosevelt is eloquent, wise and elegant, and has first-class motivation. In terms of experience, Roosevelt is the governor of New York State, and New York State has developed vividly under his command. This is something that everyone in the United States can see.
Therefore, Rutman obviously lacks confidence in running for president with Roosevelt.
"If this is the case, then there will be a difficult road ahead of you." Coolidge breathed a sigh of strength.
Everyone agrees with this.
Rootman and Roosevelt are obviously not the same heavyweight class.
But Coolidge then laughed: "But Brian, don't worry too much. You still have an advantage in this matter."
"What's the advantage?" Rutman asked quickly.
The so-called "knowing yourself and your enemy" is naturally understood by Rutman.
"Reputation." Coolidge spitted a word.
"Reputation?" Rutman's eyes were a little straight.
"Yes. Reputation." Coolidge smiled and said, "You are at an advantage at this point. Although Roosevelt is stronger than you in all kinds of abilities, compared with you, his reputation is not enough now. In the past few years, stability is your biggest feature. After Herbert's death, you took over a mess. Although some mistakes have occurred, you have basically completed a smooth handover. And now you have also seen that the situation in the country is very stable, and the lives of the people are beginning to improve little by little, and everyone feels that life has hope. In this regard, you are very trusted by the people. For the people, their ideas are very simple. No matter who is president, as long as they can make their lives better. Although your abilities are not as good as Roosevelt, the people value stability more. They are very satisfied with the current development situation. Therefore, as long as you play this photo stably during the election, you will definitely be able to gain the support of most people."
"Of course, Roosevelt is the biggest danger of your re-election. This guy's ability is really terrifying. If he had been out a few years earlier, I probably might not be his opponent. If he hadn't met Andre for his bad luck, he would have become one of the greatest presidents in the United States, and the Democratic Party would have been able to become an equal party with the Republican Party in his hands."
"But this guy's luck is really bad. Meeting Andre was his nightmare. Since he became the leader of the Democratic Party, he has been fighting Andre, and so many things happened in the middle. Especially in the assassination time, although there was no evidence in the end that he could prove that he was doing the land, but the impact was greatly reduced."
"In recent years, Roosevelt's reputation has been much greater than when he was the leader of the Democratic Party. But a large part of it is negative. When it comes to his name, it is well-known in the United States, but most people have a resistant attitude towards him. You have taken a lot of advantage in this regard. And you should also thank Andre."
Coolidge's words made both Rutman and me laugh.
Roosevelt met me. He was considered a failure.
