American winner takes all

Chapter 391 Endless
Ethan has promised McKenna before that he will establish an education and training structure under the Angels. Most of the cheerleading teams of NFL teams have similar structures. For teenagers, tryouts and summer camps will be held every year. The ultimate goal is to provide Children from wealthy families add some "resume" to make it easier to apply for schools and earn income.

The "Angel Academy" that Ethan is now talking about is adding layer upon layer of this concept.

"I recruited people from training institutions in Los Angeles and New York, hired the best teachers, trained the team members, and ultimately turned the students into first-class artists," Ethan said.

What are the crucial factors for a professional team to achieve commercial success?
Is it the stadium? Or grades? Or a star?

It seems that the latter is more important, such as Kurt Warner, who suddenly emerged and brought the Super Bowl championship to the Rams, and also made the Rams strong today.

But Ethan knew that the Rams' "hotness" only lasted for two years, and was soon sucked away by another player who emerged out of nowhere.

And even Tom Brady, who is the first person in history and has a long wait, will be defeated by another young quarterback who emerges many years later.

Players will always age, this is a natural law, and Ethan cannot escape this.

Therefore, players can only bring temporary glory to a team, and a dynasty does not last forever.

But if there is a team that has the absolute first pick every year, then this team will always remain the leader in the league.

In fact, this is an impossible goal.

The draft system is the foundation of the NFL and no one can shake it.

But there may still be opportunities in other areas, such as the entertainment industry.

Ethan seems to have just established a cheerleading training institution, but in fact his ultimate goal is to expand into the entertainment industry.

But to achieve the above goals, there is an insurmountable obstacle in front of Ethan - the payback period is too long.

As the saying goes, it takes ten years to grow trees and a hundred years to cultivate people. Let's take youth training as an example. Under normal circumstances, if a team's youth training wants to start from scratch or even achieve a result, it must take at least ten years as a cycle.

But Ethan has an advantage that no one else has. He can predict which artist will quickly become famous and which movie will hit the market in the next few years.

This will greatly shorten the talent training cycle.

Once the initial advantage is established, all that needs to be done next is to consolidate the advantage - there are endless descendants.

The people at the scene obviously didn't know what Ethan was relying on, and of course they weren't very optimistic about it at this time.

"Ethan, you have to know that this will cost a lot of money, but the return is not obvious." Lisa comforted.

"I think it's even better to hold a youth football training institution." Kelsey also said, even as a cheerleader, she was not optimistic about this matter.

If you hold a rugby training institution, it is really just a training institution. Ethan shook his head and did not explain to the two of them, but looked at Blake's mother.

"Ms. Lively, I want to sign Blake Lively as the first reserve team. In the future, she will receive various trainings at the Angel Academy."

"This will cost a lot of money, right?" Ms. Lively frowned slightly, thinking that Ethan was a salesman.

"I won't charge you any fees." Ethan shook his head and said very generously.

"God!" Lisa was secretly frightened when she heard this, feeling that Ethan was doing charity.

"Of course we will consider it." Ms. Lively nodded immediately.

This is simply a good thing that falls from the sky, and of course she will not refuse.

"Although training fees will not be levied on you, you must sign a reserve contract and become a member of the cheerleading team. You need to fulfill your obligations as a cheerleader. This is the same as other team members." Ethan continued.

Ethan does not need to ask Blake to do that, but he must enjoy this right so that he can take the initiative.

The Angels Cheerleaders will assign jobs to the team members. Cheerleaders will take the lion's share of the revenue generated.

"What if I arranged a performance for Blake?" Ms. Lively continued.

"Then it has nothing to do with the Angel Cheerleaders." Ethan shook his head.

Since the original arrangement will not be affected... isn't it a guaranteed profit without loss?
"If you are not lying, her father and I will agree." Ms. Lively nodded immediately after figuring out the connection.

"Very good." Ethan nodded and looked at Blake.

But he didn't show any happiness.

"You don't want to be trained?" Ethan asked casually.

"Of course, I'm usually busy enough. And I may not be able to become a big star. Even if I become a big star, it's quite boring." Blake said without thinking.

When she was 12 years old, she was filming with her father. Her father was a TV actor and her mother was a Hollywood agent. To her, there was no mystery in Hollywood, and the work of an actor was very busy, which she didn't want to do.

This temporary participation is also strongly requested by her mother. She has no interest in these. If she has the choice, she would like to go to a good university, such as Stanford, and pursue her ideal career in the future.

"But your grades are there..." Ms. Lively shook her head.

Of course she also knew what her daughter was thinking, but Blake had never been that material. Whether it was arranging for her daughter to film with her father before, or now letting her receive actor training after school, it was essentially to pave the way for her future.

"How do you know if you don't try?" Blake complained. She always had disputes with her mother about life planning.

"It's too late to do this by then. There are many actresses on the market who started working when they were teenagers." Ms. Lively reminded.

"You never considered my feelings!" Blake Lively yelled.

"Okay, little girl, your parents did this for your future. You have to understand their painstaking efforts." Ethan said to Blake, who was in the rebellious period.

Blake Lively curled her lips and said nothing.

"Learn from Ethan! Look at him, he was already a California champion in high school!" Ms. Lively regarded Ethan as "someone else's child."

"Yeah, Ethan is so awesome. You like him so much, why not let me marry him." Blake Lively shook his head.

"It's not impossible." Ethan nodded immediately.

Blake blushed and quickly turned his head.

During the rest of the time, Ethan discussed some details with Ms. Lively. Lisa and Kelsey left in the middle. The recording of the show has resumed. Ethan was not a permanent judge in the first place. He came here temporarily today and left. It doesn't have much impact on the recording.

"I will discuss this matter with her father..." Ms. Lively nodded, and the conversation was almost over. She was ready to leave with her daughter and go home to cook for her husband and four other children. Ethan sent the two to the parking lot. Walking side by side with Blake Lively at this time.

Although Blake Lively is not very young today, girls already develop earlier than boys, and white girls also mature earlier. Now they need to look good and be tall. Ethan took a visual inspection and took off his shoes. Compared with Lisa, Blake is not much worse, and his height is obviously close to 1.8 meters.

It's just that she was dressed too casually, so her figure couldn't be seen.

"See you later." Blake Lively waved goodbye to Ethan before getting in the car. He glanced at Ethan first, and then quickly looked away.

When her mother started the car, Lively, who was sitting in the car, looked up through the front windshield and looked at Ethan who turned to leave.

"Mom, do you know how many female companions he has?"

"Who knows, this is a private matter." Ms. Lively started the car.

The special family structure actually made Blake a little curious about Ethan.

Ethan returned to the show recording site and specifically asked the staff for the list of today's contestants. Apart from Blake Lively and Jessica Chastain, there was no third name that he was familiar with, but Ethan did not give up. , but decided to check the entry lists of other competition areas tonight...

"Ethan, do you really want to spend a lot of money to build a training institution for cheerleading?" Catherine asked during dinner. She had just heard the news from Lisa.

"That's right, not only the reserve team, but also the first-line players must further their studies at the Angel Academy and receive various training in performing arts. In addition, they will also recruit students from the public, which can also create some revenue. Ethan said while chewing the pasta.

"The most important thing is that the gathering of these Angels members is also a reality show in itself, which will serve as a permanent cheerleading show during the NFL season." Ethan continued.

Cheerleaders cannot always rely on all kinds of hype to maintain their popularity. Sooner or later, the audience will feel tired. From now on, the Angel Cheerleaders will focus on the talent show "Searching for Angels" and the reality star development program "Angel Academy" every year to maintain their base.

The two shows are staggered so that the Angels bombard television audiences throughout the year.

And when she heard that Ethan was finally preparing for the Angel Academy, the happiest person was undoubtedly McKenna, who volunteered to help Ethan plan the relevant details.

Ethan also handed over the initial preparation work to McKenna, and tomorrow he and Kelsey will leave Los Angeles for Florida.

That night, he received a call from Angels head coach Andy. The three coaches have now arrived in Indianapolis and are inspecting new players participating in this year's draft.

As for Kimberly, her divorce lawsuit was completed very smoothly. She now holds part of Playboy's shares and has become the second largest individual shareholder after Hugh Hefner.

"Ethan, how long will you continue to work?"

"It's almost midnight..."

"We're going to get ready for a break."

He was clearly talking about going to sleep, shouting louder than the last, and highlighting one of his words that was inappropriate for his integrity. Ethan was unmoved and continued to flip through the next page. In his hand was the list of contestants from other competition regions.

When Kelsey saw Ethan didn't respond, she approached with a smile.

"We don't want to disturb your work, but we think you are too tired. We can just leave these tedious tasks to others," she said.

It’s really impossible to leave this matter to others, but Ethan managed to explain the reason, and finally put down the list...

·
In the end, most people fell into a deep sleep due to overwork.

"If this continues, everyone will..." Catherine lowered her head and pressed Ethan's temples.

"The birth rate of African Americans is getting higher and higher. Soon, the number of newborns will exceed that of all other ethnic groups combined. In order to prevent the world from being conquered by them, I will do my best no matter what." Ethan smiled.

"You just like..." Catherine added some strength to her hands and asked, "When are you going to come back from Florida this time?"

"Three to five days." Ethan thought for a while and said, it wouldn't take much time just to meet Huizenga in Florida.

Catherine looked horrified: "So long?"

"You don't expect me to come back within a day, do you?" Ethan opened his eyes and touched Catherine's cheek.

"Well, I don't want to be separated from you for a day now." Catherine leaned over.

She was reluctant to leave, and she also knew that Ethan had something to do, so she didn't force him.

"By the way, while I'm in Florida, help me visit Sarah Gellar and Jennifer Hewitt..."

The two haven't moved here yet, and Ethan meets them occasionally.

Catherine nodded: "How about I ask the two of them to come directly this time, it will be more convenient."

Ethan opened his eyes and suddenly thanked Catherine.

"Thank you for anything. As long as you are happy, I'll be satisfied." Catherine said softly.

Ethan was moved in his heart, and his emotion immediately turned into action...

·
The next day, Ethan and Kelsey flew to Florida on a small business trip.

After landing, the driver assigned by Huizenga was already waiting at the airport, preparing to drive Ethan and Kelsey to Huizenga's mansion at the Palm Beach Private Golf Club again.

While passing by the golf course, Ethan saw a few familiar figures.

Standing next to the big golden retriever were Jeffrey Epstein and several other people whom Ethan didn't know. These big shots were surrounded by a group of followers, and outside were bodyguards, three levels inside and three outside.

"I didn't expect Palm Beach to be so lively now." Ethan sighed.

They showed up at Huizenga's golf club and were apparently guests of Huizenga.

Soon, Ethan met Huizenga again. The young woman he had met before took Kelsey on a tour of the room, and Ethan and Huizenga came to the small conference room...

"Are all your guests outside?" Ethan asked as soon as he sat down.

"What, do you know them?" Huizenga did not respond immediately.

"Only know a few of them."

Huizenga immediately thought of the people Ethan might have crossed paths with, and then smiled: "Actually, there is a party on the island in a few days."
