The Hellfire Club has not only these eight core members, but also hundreds of full members, each of whom is America's elite and can do many things that no one else can imagine.

As the new White Knight of Hellfire, Li Nan wants to help Calvin get Senator, and he also receives strong support from the club.

From the twenties and thirties of the twentieth century until the sixties of the twentieth century, the film censorship system in the United States was implemented in accordance with the "Hayes Code" formulated by the Hayes Commission.

The Hays Code is an absolutely ethical, puritan-like film code with a severity that would be difficult for today's film directors to make a vivid film.

The Hays Code has a total of twelve broad prohibitions, which means that there is some kind of taboo in any step of the film. For example, the code prohibits black-and-white marriages in films, including sexual relations involving black and white races; Too many hugs and lustful shots are not represented; Nudity and childbirth are prohibited, even in silhouettes. In addition, specific processes such as smuggling, drug abuse, violence, and arson are not represented; Even indecent movements during dancing scenes and hints of sexual movements during dancing are not expressed.

Including Li Nan's war company, all film companies in the United States are subject to the restrictions of the "Hays Code", and it can be said that every film is difficult to pass the review.

Now that Li Nan has joined Hellfire, he doesn't have to worry about it anymore, because most of the members of the Film Censorship Board are full members of the club.

In addition, no matter whether Li Nan buys other newspapers and radio stations, there will be other members to help, and it can be said that his career is smooth.

In fact, Li Nan has long wanted to buy a large TV station, but in the United States, racial discrimination is very serious, and Asians like him cannot get the approval of the government at all, so with the support of Hellfire this time, those obstacles are not a problem.

While helping Calvin campaign, Li Nan did not hesitate to mobilize a large amount of funds, and also borrowed a large amount of money from Howard without interest, and attacked his neighbor ABC.

American Broadcasting Corporation (English full name: American Broadcasting Corporation, Inc), abbreviated as ABC, is one of the three major commercial radio and television companies in the United States, funded by advertising broadcasting.

A few years ago, Edward. Noble bought the Blue Broadcasting Network (which owns 116 affiliated radio stations) for $8 million, and now officially uses the ABC name.

In fact, Li Nan has long wanted to buy a TV station, but in the United States, racial discrimination is very serious, and Asians like him can't get the government's approval at all, so this time with the support of Hellfire, he cleared those obstacles

ABC's current largest shareholder is The Walt Disney Company, which is also a thriving film company.

Disney Studios mainly shoots animated films, and in 1928 produced and released the first-ever sound cartoon "Steamboat Willie", in which the protagonist Mickey Mouse became famous, and then released one animated film every year.

Li Nan has long investigated the Disney company, and the biggest problem of this company is the lack of funds, because the production cycle of animated feature films is too long, and the "Bambi" in previous years as an example, in order to make this film, Disney spent six years.

Normally, no one will sell ABC, which is becoming more and more profitable and influential, but since Li Nan has discovered the weakness of Disney, the best way to buy ABC TV is to destroy the other party's capital chain, so that the Walt brothers have to sell.

Li Nan found Tom's phone number, dialed it and said, "Director Tom, I need the script of the movie that Disney is preparing now, do you have a solution?" ”

Tom's voice came over the phone, "Can you tell me why I need it?" ”

There is no need to hide this kind of thing, Li Nan said frankly: "I plan to buy the ABC broadcaster owned by Disney, so I need some help." ”

"Well, taking full control of one of the big three broadcasters in the U.S. really helps the club."

After saying this, Tom was noncommittally silent, and Li Nan immediately understood what he meant, and promised: "After the deed is completed, I can give you five percent of ABC's shares." ”

"Hahaha, Li, you're so polite." When he got what he wanted, Tom smiled and said, "I promise that within three hours, someone will deliver the script to you." ”

"Greedy old fellow!" After Li Nan hung up the phone, he scolded casually.

In this era, the CIA had not yet been established, and there was only one government intelligence agency in the United States, the FBI, and its resources were unimaginably large.

Before two hours arrived, an FBI agent drove in a car to deliver the script that Disney was preparing.

Looking at the script in his hand, Li Nan couldn't help but sigh at the power and connections.

The name of the play is "Treasure Island", which is supposed to be adapted from the famous British writer Robert Treasure Island. Louis. Stevenson's namesake, it looks like Disney is planning to make the transition to live-action films.

After reading the script, Li Nan thought for a while, and then sat down in front of the typewriter to write the idea of a new script.

"Treasure Island" is an adventure story about Jim, an English boy in the 18th century, who obtained the legendary Treasure Island from the dying sailor Pence, and organized an expedition to Treasure Island with the support of a local squire.

Disney was going to make a film about pirates, so Li Nan found another similar movie from memory, from the later Spielberg's "Captain Hook".

Li Nan doesn't know who is superior or inferior in these two movies, but "Captain Hook" is from the nineties after all, and Li Nan, who has seen the original movie, is confident that he can beat Disney's "Treasure Island" in terms of plot, characters, costumes and other aspects.

For the sake of insurance, Li Nan also went to Warner Company in person and met the four Warner brothers of this large film company.

Receiving the news of Li Nan's arrival, the four Warner Brothers hurriedly greeted him.

It stands to reason that Li Nan and Warner Bros. belong to competitors in the same industry, and they should be cold to him, why are they so enthusiastic?

The answer is simple, because Warner Bros. are all Jews.

Not to mention that Li Nan was a war hero who came down from the German battlefield, just saying that a large amount of gold and other property he obtained after exterminating the Hydra Organization was donated to the Jewish Rescue Society free of charge, which was enough for him to win the gratitude and respect of all Jews.

After the two sides were seated, Harry. Warner smiled and said, "Mr. Li Nan, our brother has wanted to invite you over for a long time, but you always don't have time. ”

"Hahaha, you're welcome." Li Nan smiled: "Actually, I came this time to discuss something. ”

Jack. On behalf of the other three brothers, Warner said: "We have always taken to heart your help to Polish immigrants and Jews, and whatever you may ask, please do not hesitate to ask!" ”
