The detailed analysis of House of Cards Season 1 (1)

Suzanne 2021-10-13 13:06:50

First of all, I'm just a porter. After the dividing line, it is not the word of my code, but it is the most useful and most understandable analysis of this drama I have seen. Good things to share
------------------------------I am the dividing line------------ -------------------- The appearance of the protagonist Frank in the
first episode of the first season
is based on the attitude of treating a dying dog next door, which fully shows The protagonist's work style: cruel, decisive, resolute, and no mercy for useless things are exactly the qualities that a politician (not a politician) should possess. At this time, Frank's camera narration also appeared for the first time. The whole drama was filled with the protagonist's camera narration, mostly to explain Frank's character style, etc., as well as to explain the application of tactics to audiences who did not understand tactics. Frank is in a good mood tonight, and he professed the beauty of his wife. It is nothing more than a happy New Year celebration in the evening. The presidential election won. As the main hero, Frank will be promoted. . . Frank’s camera narration at the celebration banquet introduced the three most important figures in the country, the president, the vice president, and the president’s female chief of staff in a disdainful tone. It’s no time to wait.) Of course, I also implicitly introduced my own party whip function. , To become Secretary of State. . . Then there is the prelude of solemn atmosphere and dark style, which fully reflects the grandeur and insidiousness of political tactics: the various architectures that symbolize political power and the changing climate, the metaphors of which are also self-evident.
At the end of the prologue, Frank and his wife commended each other in the car. Once they became Secretary of State, the promised donation (check) from Sankoh, the consortium behind it, would also be credited. . . . . A little rookie Zoe is on the field with a very weak aura. Little reporter from ), overheard the conversation between the editor-in-chief and the male senior for a while, and of course did not hear any valuable information. The bald-headed editor-in-chief can't even remember the names of the employees below. It is already seen that he is an incompetent leader. It will not be surprising to see the editor-in-chief resigned in the future. . . . . Congressman Russell came on stage, and the sponsor came to ask for an argument for a certain interest issue. Fortunately, the secretary and mistress (this kind of part-time job has gone too much, no wonder.) Christina flirted with a phone call, and Russell took the name of the president. After showing off, the visiting sponsor was scared back. . . . Frank is proudly waiting for the president to call the Secretary of State for the important post. Who knows it was the female chief of staff who met and threw a bucket of ice and snow on him: the president’s political commitment was cancelled. (This is a taboo, but this kind of political breach has been common since ancient times.) Frank is cold! But there is no alternative. (You are not rewarded for the merits of the powerful.) Because the president’s consideration is not wrong, Congress shows signs of splitting. Only Frank, who has been in Congress for many years, can deal with this situation, except for Frank. People can control Congress for the President, so Frank must stay in Congress! Obey the organization's arrangement! The reason is such a reason, but Frank would accept it? To vent, complain about hard work, and even the right to be held accountable to the president personally was deprived of Linda’s chief of staff. Frank was mad, but he was a top-notch politician and calmed down in an instant. The president is in power after all. Revenge is not easy. You can only endure it first, and then settle the accounts later. Of course, the enemy is not only the President, Linda, but also the quasi-secretary of state Cohen who has robbed him of his position. . . . (Comment: The consequences of political breach are usually catastrophic, and the subordinates' means of revenge are full of extreme hatred: "Eastern Zhou Dynasty" in the fourteenth chapter, Qi Xiang repeatedly ordered to control the father and the second general to guard the side, and promised to be recalled in a year. At the end of the term, the second general asked to return. Qi Xianggong breached his contract and took a powerful leadership position, demanding another year to defend the side. This caused the second general to kill Qi Gong in anger, and his head was different.)
Frank was frustrated. His wife Claire's water purification company was not doing well, saying that it was about recruiting new people, but in fact, it would be layoffs later. It just means there is a shortage of funds and difficulty in operation. . . If the young reporter Zoe wants to mix well, he must have the support of his seniors. No, she took the initiative to flatter and please her predecessor, Jianning, who is also a female. Unfortunately, Jianing is not interested in this kind of rookie (Little girl, you are too tender, Not into the eyes of my elder sister), but refused. The little Zoe who just touched his nose can only find another way. . . . The frustrated Frank sat on the street and returned till night. The most difficult thing for a defeated general to face is indeed his wife! His wife Claire is also a man of tactics, not an ignorant shrew. (Generally, when a wife sees her husband losing power, most of her snobbery will ridicule or add cold water, how many will be comforting and encouraging?) The words seem to be reproach, but in fact It was really comforting, which made Frank a lot more confident. What a good wife! Knowing a husband is like a wife! The conversation between the couple was hardly warm and soothing, and some of them were typical political couples who learned from the pain and regained their fighting spirit. Frank smoked a night thinking about good ideas, finally found the right direction, made a plan, and his wife was very satisfied. (Don't be discouraged, this is my good husband.) Frank is very pleased with his wife's support, and narrates a classic line: I love that woman. . . (If it is a joke, the latter sentence should be "like old farmers love corn", if it is pop music, the latter sentence should be "like mice love rice") More than sharks love blood. Metaphorical cruelty, even love is cruel. . . . Frank's two loyal male and female assistants, Doug Stanford (a firm supporter and executor of Frankish ideas) and Nancy (this woman is far less effective than Doug, and has a low appearance rate.) are commenting on the SB on TV. In the speech of Associate Secretary of State Cohen, although Frank, the strategy strategist, did not trust anyone, he trusted his subordinate Doug quite a bit. Even the anti-presidential words were spoken in front of Doug! Doug understands that he plans to start with Cohen, the youngest enemy, who is grabbing the position of Secretary of State. (Actually, Cohen can’t be blamed. After all, it’s the appointment of the president. Frank, blame the President, and blame Cohen for what? But who told you Cohen to do this? Where's the position? Let’s anger you first.) Of course, even if Cohen is resolved, Frank will not be the Secretary of State, because the president’s general policy (to let Frank control Congress) cannot be changed. Frank also understands this truth, so if you get rid of it After Cohen, I will recommend a person from his faction who can be fully controlled by Frank to be Secretary of State. This is also the meaning of Frank's trickery. . . . Frank looked at Cohen's cutscene in the restaurant with a strange look, and the camera narrated his determination to get rid of Cohen. (From the perspective of the future struggle line, Cohen is absolutely SB, conspiracy is not Frank's grade at all. ). . . . The Franks listened to the preacher’s sermon, but Frank’s eyes showed that his thoughts had been wandering. After the show, the sponsors of the Franks and his wife were male to male and female to female to comfort Frank’s official frustration. . . . . The mediocre congressman Russellseng and his secretary and mistress performed a sex scene in which men push the bed and women call the bed, fully demonstrating their office romances to the audience. ..... The following scene is an opportunity to change the fate of little Zoe: Frank and his wife are at the National Performing Arts Center. A tall man with white hair slaps Frank on the shoulder, and the two nodded. (I still don’t know the identity of the white-haired person.) Frank went out to make a phone call. At this moment, Zoe got out of the car and passed by Frank’s side. Frank looked sideways and subconsciously looked at the young beauty. The key point of analysis is that it seems an ordinary move, but Zoe smells an opportunity, and since then changed his own destiny. I will talk about the mystery later.) At this time, the flash also took pictures, which is what Zoe can find on the Internet in the future. The basis of the photos. . . .
. . . . Frank's way of decompression is concretely: playing a game console like a child. It's amazing. . . . . At this time, Zoe also finished watching the performance at the National Performing Arts Center, and when he got off the taxi, he also declined the request of Brian Kaizi to further develop the relationship between the two (go up and sit, old-fashioned pick-up tricks.). Zoe entered his own messy doghouse (looks destitute). At this time, a friend sent an email. Specifically, it was the unintentional shot of Frank looking sideways at Zoe's figure. Here's a joke from a friend: If you want others to look down on you, don't just wear thongs. (My friend’s joke about Zoe.) Zoe finally found a chance in life, and quickly searched the Internet for this old man with a little bit of sex (because it’s just a glimpse, not a pornographic voyeur.), Goo Of course he is a big man with high authority, (caught a big fish!) Of course, Zoe has to do his homework on this person (the reporter is best at digging people's privacy.), of course, including the failure of Frank's most frustrated secretary of state. Also dug out. . . . . The presidential chief of staff (military division) Linda visited the Congress in person, and Frank pointed out the other party's intentions through the camera narration. With this trick, "preparing first" further deepened Frank's extraordinary ability. Since he can predict it first, naturally there is a countermeasure: Frank simply ranted a few words with Linda, and said to himself "education", which means that the other party will come first. Linda’s trip was to ask for others (so I came to him in person). Since there is a request for others, of course, he must first show that he is good to others: The Franks and his wife should be ranked appropriately at the top of the presidential inauguration, (that is, close to the president. Some, this is an honor in the political sense, and the significance of political ranking is quite significant. I don't need to say more. ) Two tickets to the prom that are not easy to get are also included. Frank pretended to be grateful, and his expression was so fake that even a three-year-old would not believe it. Linda’s wishful thinking is over. The following is the main point: the implementation of the president’s most important bill. (This education bill is no trivial matter. The president was able to take office at the time because he used education reform as a slogan during the campaign to attract voters to vote for the president. Now it is time for the president to fulfill his political promise to voters. This political promise is no better than Frank. The Secretary of State promised that if the voter’s promise is not met, the next president’s re-election will be useless. Therefore, we must quickly formulate a new education bill to fulfill the voter’s promise.) Of course, the drafting of the bill should be done by people of high esteem in the education sector. , That is, the nerd antique Donald who doesn't understand tactics but only delves into academics. Frank dismissed this kind of SB: Leftists, with extreme thinking, absolutely can't write good and novel bills. Of course everyone understands this principle, so the purpose of sending Linda to the President is to allow Donald’s bill to pass in Congress and Frank to influence other members (majority, Democrat, that is, members of the party who occupy the majority of parliament to pass it. Minority party) The opposition party cannot play a decisive role) vote and pass. A sinful conspiracy was also the first conspiracy in Frank's mind in this show. Let us the audience wait and see. . . . Frank sent Linda away. Frank used the metaphor of a post-war prostitute as the narrator, which was disgusting but appropriate. . . . Frank crossed his legs and listened to the list of congressmen read by Doug, (that is, who will be the next secretary of state after Cohen is eliminated in the future, this person must be a member of the Frank camp and have a holiday with the president.) Finally, Catherine Duran was selected. special. . . . Claire's water purification company can't count on Sancor's donation, and it is running short of funds and can only lay off staff. Evelyn, the director of the personnel office, was too charitable, and the objections were also weakly raised, and she had no choice but to execute organizational orders. . . . . . Zoe came to Frank to "recommend himself" and the main event began People in the camp have a holiday with the president at the same time. ) Finally selected Catherine Durant. . . . Claire's water purification company can't count on Sancor's donation, and it is running short of funds and can only lay off staff.

In another way, if you were Zoe, how would you impress Frank? (A seemingly simple glance, if you dig deeper and analyze deeply, the artistic conception is quite far-reaching. Unfortunately, there is no Frank's lens narration in the whole process, so I have to do it for you.)
What does Zoe do? Is a front-line journalist; how to reflect the work performance (value) of the journalist? Of course, it is valuable to report (preferably a sensational secret, or an exclusive interview, etc.) news materials. This can greatly increase the sales of our newspaper and personal (Zoe) reputation and wealth (of course, the reputation and wealth of the newspaper will also follow.). The most valuable news material (that is, the topic of most concern to the public) naturally prefers confidential information within the government. (It is closely related to the public and generally concerned. Other celebrities' privacy, major accidents, etc. are also considered fierce.) But Zoe, an anonymous reporter with no background and no background, why went to Frank to ask for government secrets and fierce information? (Zoe has no power and no money, and only a little bit of pitiful beauty is left. Try it anyway. This is the same as the principle of unspoken rules for beautiful women to climb up.) Frank's "Laughter" is the reason. At a glance. (Actually, the two people glanced at each other in the photo, but Zoe’s glimpse was far less valuable than Frank. This glimpse was also Zoe’s breakthrough and opportunity. It was also Zoe’s wishful thinking.) Some people think that just a glimpse will give you a chance too. Too far-fetched, in fact, it is totally absurd. In order to explain clearly to those who don’t understand, I need to give an example: the governor went to the city to investigate and work, and the waitress poured water on the governor in front of the rostrum as usual. At this time, the governor smiled at the waitress. All this was seen in the eyes of the mayor. After the research work was over, the mayor immediately promoted the service lady to the office director of a certain bureau. With the smile of the governor, the grassroots became section-level cadres. What's the reason? For the mayor, appointing the next cadre is just a piece of paper (appointment letter), which is not costly. Do you know what is the relationship between the governor and the service lady? (Are there relatives? Or other unknown people?) There may be no relationship at all, but the mayor will not take this risk. In case, if the governor mentions this service lady to the mayor in the future, it will be too late for the mayor to promote her. This is the same as in the fifth chapter of "The Eight Divisions of the Heavenly Dragons", the Lingjiu Palace Fu Shengshi (the superior leading governor) only spoke a few words to Duan Yu (the service lady), and the people of the Wuliang Palace (subordinate mayor) will The principles of Duan Yu's imprisonment (promotion) are similar. Zoe thinks that this glimpse of Frank is a harbinger of his own meaning, and he can use this glimpse to catch up with Frank. If it can't be used, the opportunity will be missed. Besides, if Zoe's self-recommendation fails, there is nothing to lose. So Zoe took the night to send him home. (Frank is busy during the day and has no time to see you, and during the night visit, he is unconscious and will not be too public.) The dialogue between the following two people is a bit gloomy, let me translate: Zuo knocks on the door, the driver and bodyguard stops: You Can't bother you at night! Zuo: I have a small question for Mr. Xiafu, very soon. Driver: No way! Fu opens the door: Who are you? Zuo: I'm a reporter for a newspaper. F: It's too late, I won't accept interviews. Zuoliang showed a cellphone picture: We have common hobbies (Look at your glance, I was the woman you liked at the door that day.). F: You also like symphony? Zuo: I prefer people who watch symphonies (just like you). Fu (This little girl is a bit interesting.): Please come in and talk. (The glimpse in the picture is just a prelude to the conversation. It only allows you to walk into Frank's house. The rest will depend on your eloquence to impress each other.)
For Frank, Zoe came at the right time. (It was the first time Zoe was used when he got rid of Donald.) Frank pours a drink to welcome the guests. Zoe is a lecher to Frank. Of course, he must start from this aspect to stimulate the other party’s interest. : It's okay to watch it casually. F: Your seduction is too bad. Zuo: But it works for you. F: You go on. Zuo: I came here because. . F: Stop talking nonsense and get to the point. Zuo sent a top hat to flatter you: Of course your seniors have precious time. Ephraim's drinking hats: What are you doing here? Zuo: I'm looking for someone who can be the master. (The person who gave me the news.) F: Go on. Sasaki is loyal: I will post any news that you give me, and I will not betray you, and I will never ask you questions. (Actually, Zoe eventually died on this last sentence.) F: Why should I record you? I have already hired another reporter. Zuo: Will you let me in if you hire someone else? F: I don't think there is any advantage in dealing with journalists. Zuo: But it doesn't hurt. F: The reporter's mouth is weak. Zuo: I have a very strong mouth, you can put a hundred hearts on it. Ephraim: Be careful when you speak, I want your loyalty. Zuo: I want to gain your trust. F: I have seen two articles you wrote, but the writing level is not very good. (What's the use of loyalty alone? I also need talented people.) Zuo: Those two articles were asked by me to write them. I can't help them. They are not a reflection of my true level. Haven't you been asked by the leader (the president)? And you won’t be rewarded Secretary of State for credit. Fu instantly petrified (the little girl can guess my mind), and a few seconds later, the stone said: What are you going to get from me? Zuo: I want to report on the first item of the new government's legislative agenda. Can you tell us something? F: It's a matter of state secrets, I can't say. What do you think it is? Zuo: Is it education? Ephraim: How can you see it? (The little girl is so powerful, Gu Ran can guess it, there are two times.) Zuo: The reasons are as follows. . . and many more. is not it? F: I can't tell. Zuo: Can you give me a hint? Ephraim is about to end the topic: it's too late (dismissal order), if you are to be hired, it is hard for me to make a decision now, because I never make major decisions at night, so wait for the news. (The interviewer's habitual closing lines to the interviewer are mostly unaccepted lines.) Zoe was helpless to pack his scarf and jacket. (It's over, I guess I'm out of play, and the possibility of hiring is very small.) Finally, he left a contact number. Number, (Don’t forget me in case you change your mind.) Fu to the driver: This matter is to be kept secret tonight, as Miss Zuo has never been. Mrs. Fu just came back at this time, to her husband: Who is this little fox? F: Oh, this is reporter Zuo, I'm leaving. Zo: Hello, Mrs. Fore. Mrs. Fu hooked her husband with her hand: Be careful when doing things with my husband, don't seduce my husband, the consequences will be serious. (The metaphor of "drive carefully on the ice and slippery road"), Zo: Don't worry, Mrs. Fortune, I won't. Sending away Zoe, Mrs. Fors said to her husband: The little fox is so showy, and the ditch is exposed. Have you been charmed by her? F: Don't worry, ma'am, she can't fascinate me. (Comment: Frankland is a master of tactics. It is impossible to have a heart to Zoe at the first meeting, so he obviously has intentions in his heart, but on the surface he rejects Zoe, making him feel hopeless and disappointed and return. Of course, he will be appointed when he meets for the first time. It seems too sloppy, so we have to use the hunger marketing rule: Zoe thinks that he has failed in his self-recommendation. Later, when Frank calls, the unexpected joy will make Zoe go all out with excitement to report the favor.)
. . . Congressman Peter Russell used drugs to recruit prostitutes and drunk driving, and was stopped by the police. . . In the middle of the night, Frank was awakened by the phone (presumably from Doug). Doug reported that Russell had been detained (congressmen’s violations were under the control of the party whip). Frank telegraphed Doug to rescue Russell from the police station. Not only did he rescue him, but he also rescued him. The case must be cancelled (the case will be cancelled so that the three reporters including Zoe will not be able to find the evidence of the case.). Of course, this matter is not easy to handle, so Doug then wins over the chief of police by his fate. . . . If Frank wants to retaliate against the President, of course he can’t do it alone. An interest group is needed to form an offensive and defensive alliance. The chief of police was the first member to be formally wooed. . . . On behalf of Frank, Doug met with the Chief of Police in the early morning. Xu, in exchange for a senior official of the "Mayor of Washington", released Russell and closed the case. . . . After dinner, Claire asked Frank: at the Jefferson Prom (that is, when Linda visited Congress before asking Frank to assist the Donald Act, the two tickets included were only for the Franks.) To bring the Hoborns, that is, Frank asked Linda for two more tickets. The reason is that the Hobborns are sponsors of Claire Water Purification Company. It's a small matter for Frank. . . . . Donald tapped his right finger on the sofa and waited anxiously for Frank’s opinion on the bill (draft). After reading Donald’s hard work, Frank sent it directly into the shredder. Donald was startled to jump. Frank didn’t wait for Donald’s question. Directly inform: Tax increases, privacy restrictions, and supervision of the three main radical leftist views of the bill are impossible to be approved by many members of Congress and passed in Congress. The stupid Donald argued that Linda wanted me to write it, and Frank directly challenged it. Ming: They are relying on your reputation. (It's not really going to use the bill you wrote) So your Donald's bill needs to be revised. This was just a perfunctory statement made by Frank to Don't fool. Frank's true intention was to kick Donald away and make the bill himself. (I will analyze the reason for this after Frank put the suit away and left the office before Donald. Pay attention to this detail. Frank will not return to the office today, that is, Frank will not return to the office to take the destroyed Donald Act. I feel that the "Paper" drama has handled the details very well, it is seamless, and the foreshadowing is well arranged.) Someone will come to pick up the destruction bill later. The advantage of this is that when the bill is leaked in the future, Donald will not suspect that it is Frank's ghost, because Frank has not returned to the office, the bill has long been in the trash can. . . . Durant, Frank's second wooing object, was officially wooed. With brilliant tactics, F: I can make you the Secretary of State. (This sentence is omitted from the play.) Du: But the president nominated Cohen as Secretary of State , How can I have a show? F: Cohen has not been officially appointed yet. (It means there are still variables.) Du: Cohen is innocent. (Meaning that there is no weakness for you to catch and get rid of him) F: People have stains. Du: Did you catch him stained? F: No. Du Xiao: So what can we talk about? (I can't get rid of Cohn, and I can't be secretary of state, so I can talk a bit of a fart.) F: Do you really want to be secretary of state? Du realized that Frank must have a way to create Cohen's weakness and get rid of him. But Du was also strangely suspicious: Why did you want to get rid of Cohen (let me be Secretary of State. Why are the benefits cheaper for me?)? F: We are "comrades" (all southern politicians, also alluding to the same front), the secretary of state that the Foreign Affairs Committee (the foreign affairs department, the secretary of state is equivalent to the foreign minister) must cooperate with the secretary of state to oppose the president's mistakes (Durant has opposed the president before Walker, that's why Frank would draw her into the same camp, "The enemy of the enemy is my friend.") We need you. (Come on, we want you to oppose the president together. This is tantamount to confessing to Durant.) Of course, Durant knows that Frank and the President secretly had a juncture (Frank was not appointed Secretary of State). Frank pours tea, Durant takes the cup, without saying anything, a political alliance is reached. . . . The White House garbage worker dumped the garbage into the garbage can. Doug, who was waiting in the car for a long time (by Frank's order), was the one who came to get the Donald Act destroyed by Frank, and the driver in the car was Frank’s queen driver. bodyguard. Unconsciously, the Donald Act was leaked like this. . . . Zoe needs to publish political news to improve the value of his journalistic work, and Frank needs Zoe to speak out in the press and respond in a distant way. (News) As soon as the hungry Zoe received a call from Frank, he rushed to the meeting. Frank guided Zoe on the topic of the legislative agenda, so that Zoe gradually understood the target of the attack: it was contrary to the president's wishes (moderates, to please the voters) but in the name of the president (the president asked for the radical Tang Act to be changed into a moderate bill. The published leftist radical bill (actually a draft that has not yet been revised by Frank), once published, will surely arouse general dissatisfaction (popular dissatisfaction with tax increases, private schools dissatisfied with restrictions on semi-private schools, and increased government supervision will reduce school autonomy. Dissatisfaction and so on.), the end must be the president is injured, Donald is hit hard. The main target of the attack was Donald, followed by the President. And Zoe couldn't bear to start with Donald: We are now in a moral and legal gray area. (Donald is highly respected in the education world and is a kind person. Attacking Donald is to obliterate conscience and violate morality but not the law.) Frank does not bother to brainwash the cruel little Zoe for a long time, and uses the same boat on the wall. The painting of the two men paddling was used as a metaphor, and they pointed out a few words to "correct" their thoughts. Zoe got the bill as a treasure, so he was too busy to sort out the phone even from his superior Lucas. . . . The enactment of the bill is of great importance, not trivial. Linda visited Flick in Congress again and asked how the situation was going, because the president was going to announce the plan for the education reform bill on Monday (it was announced, not implemented.), Frank slapped Linda's chest to assure her that she was relieved, but Linda Da was not at ease with the radical leftist Donald, and he was also worried about Frank's assistance in amending the bill. Frank repeatedly promised that he would deliver a satisfactory bill within 100 days. (Actually Frank did it in the end.) Linda also had to believe it. At this time, Frank took the opportunity to present his wife Blair's request to Linda: that is, two more ball tickets for the Hoborns. (I admire Frank's ability to deal with the incident, including the handling of the two dance tickets, and he was able to successfully complete his wife's petition without losing his identity. There are also petty powers in the petty matters. Frank promised his wife to get two tickets to Linda. , But he didn't go to Linda to directly ask for votes, which would lose his momentum, but waited for Linda to come to the door again to "seeking help" when the bill progressed.
. . . . Frank met with Russell (the drunkard’s intention is not to drink, and he is kindly reported.), the third one wins (should be intimidating) the object, Frank pours alcohol, and after a simple greeting, F: Recently you have done something illegal. (I am the secretary of the Party Whip Disciplinary Committee and I have to take care of it.) Luo: What? Frank: Don't put garlic in front of me. Luo understands: Oh, it was the thing that night (three fulls of alcohol and prostitutes). Did you know yesterday? F: I am the secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, what violations of discipline can be concealed from me? Russell hadn't understood Frank's true intentions, thinking that the secretary was going to be punished, he couldn't help but panicked incoherently. Fu Tiaoming: Do you think you can settle this matter on your own? Luo Suran: So it was you who helped? I swear this time, not next time. F: Come on less! Alcohol, drugs, prostitutes, your interests are quite wide. Luo think about it: What do you think of yesterday? (Anyway, I've committed it. If you want to do it yesterday, do it yesterday.) The transaction began, Frank stood up and looked down at Russell with a solemn expression. Absolutely obey me. (You have the handle in my hands, you can do whatever I tell you to do.) Luo: Yes, yes. Ephraim: Don't be duplicity. Luo: No, no. (Russell knows that he will not be punished, and if he is relieved, he will probably laugh: Unexpectedly, the secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection is also corrupt.) Frank has another man. . . . . As the newspapers were busy preparing for the president’s inauguration ceremony that day, Zoe brought the compiled bill to his superior Lucas. Lucas had just reprimanded Zoe for not answering the phone. He saw that the government was top secret. Knowing that this matter is not trivial, I didn't dare to be expert, so I quickly approached the editor-in-chief Tom for a ruling. The editor-in-chief did not dare to approve the publication of this blockbuster. He raised a few doubts about Zoe, and was answered one by one in anticipation. At this time, the editor-in-chief had no more concerns, knowing that this exclusive top secret can make Our newspaper’s reputation has greatly increased, and time is the life of the news. Lucas is ordered to publish as soon as possible. It is one after the other, and the response of the public has naturally increased.) At the same time, Jianning is asked to be Zoe's assistant to assist in the completion of the background work. Older Jenning is not willing to be the assistant of junior Zoe: I am the chief political reporter of your editor-in-chief (how can I be the starter of the newcomer, and where do I tell the old man to put his old face?). At this time, the editor-in-chief can't take care of Jian Ning's old face by playing power tricks. (The big thing matters) strictly co-organize it. Zoe also happened to avenge the revenge of Janine's contempt for his rookie. . . . In the inauguration ceremony, the president gave generous speeches, and Frank narrated the scene to explain the ranking of power and position, as well as the proportional relationship with property. The President’s oath is over, everyone urges Palm, Frank shakes his hand to the side camera so funny. Next, the President announced his important reform plan to the public: the Comprehensive Education Reform Act, and promised to pass a vote within 100 days. The public sentiment is excited and thunderous. . . . At the Jefferson Ball, the wife of the Hoborn couple who was invited was about to express her gratitude to Claire, but Claire politely declined: It’s a trivial matter, you’re welcome. The Jefferson Ball is a political ball. Those who come are either rich or noble. (Actually, they are very rich and noble, and the top political figures are prominent.) Rich and powerful like Huo and his wife, they are not eligible to participate. (Of course, the right to make friends with Xiaofu can satisfy vanity.) Of course it is a great honor to be able to participate, and Huo and his wife are of course grateful. Most people helped Huo and Huo do this, and I’m afraid they have to take the opportunity to complain and ask for credit. It’s a high profile (no thanks for a trivial matter.), and it also shows my husband Frank’s ability (my husband’s high-ranking government official, these two votes are trivial.) This makes Huo and his wife have to pay their respects. This left a foreshadowing for the future: in the open-air reception in front of the hotel in episode 5, Huo and his wife could not hesitate to write a $60,000 donation check at the suggestion of Frank the "bartender". . . . Associate Secretary of State Cohen was surrounded by a few manikins on the seat of the ball, with a frivolous expression, and his words seemed to be sharp. He slammed the opposite Frank, and smiled (to Frank). Frank confronted the one who had robbed him of the position of Secretary of State. Cohen returned a silly smile, (Now I am proud of you, and there are some who make you cry later.) Accepting his wife's whisper, got up and left the seat, went straight to the distant nerd Donald to say hello, Frank wiped the fool for Don. , Continue to confuse: the bill is very good, can change history. (Frank has sharpened his knife in secret and cut it at you, just like Wang Xifeng's sentence "Smiling from the top, and the next one will make a trip.") Fool Tang really thought that the other party was a bosom friend, and wanted to discuss the subsidy in the bill with the other party. Frank is not interested in talking to him, and he changed to greet the future Secretary of State Catherine Durant. The two danced together, which further strengthened the political alliance and friendship. . . . In the early hours of the next morning, Freddy’s barbecue restaurant opened. Frank took a special car to taste his favorite ribs as usual. After the two greeted each other briefly, Frank sat down and read the morning paper and discovered the conspiracy he had planned. Achieved: The president's inauguration announcement and the bill leaked before and after the "shining" with each other, it is a wonderful irony. Donald at breakfast, Linda in the car, Zoe on the toilet, Claire on the way out (I can’t see clearly, it seems to be her.), Jane who flips the glass, Durant who gloats for misfortune, and the website is extremely hot. Tom and Lucas looked at each other, each with one expression. . . . Frank, after reading the newspaper, was in a good mood, his appetite increased, and he ate an extra rib. . . .
End of the first episode.
Comment: At the inauguration ceremony, the President pledged to the public that he would announce the excellent education bill passed down for 40 years, but the bill presented to the public (pre-disclosure) was a bill of radical measures by the left, and the public must be in an uproar: your president’s bragging bill It's such a bullshit bill that hurts our interests. The spearhead must first be directed at the president, because although the bill was acted by Donald, it is nominally (promulgated) by the president. When the president sees this bill that goes against his own intentions, he must be furious, and he does not want to be the victim of this generation. We must find a scapegoat to come out and explain to the people, this sheep must be Donald, Linda who indirectly participated in it, Frank will only be scolded by the president. It was Donald who made the bill and Frank assisted in revising it. Because Frank also opposed the bill, it was difficult to even sit on Frank with such a big leak.
