A 120*53 yard green field, U-shaped goals spaced 18 feet apart, a whistle, 4 quarters of 60 minutes, 11 players on the field, a 30-man coaching staff, a 46-man roster, hundreds of sideline staff, tens of thousands of spectators cheering in unison, tens of millions of people watching from the sidelines, hundreds of millions of dollars in commercial sponsorship, this is just an ordinary football game weekend.
The winner gains both fame and fortune and takes everything.
The losers are sad and have nothing.
All
or
Nothing?
As a man who appears in multiple newspaper pages covering sports, entertainment, finance, business, technology, and culture, his public image is undoubtedly complex.
Those who love him say that he is the savior of the football field, the pioneer of commercial sports, the pioneer of Wall Street, the harvester of Hollywood, the godfather of Silicon Valley, an old friend of lobbying groups, and a beneficiary of two financial crises.
In the eyes of those who hated him, he became "a team bully with no professional ethics", "an unscrupulous opportunist", "the heir to Hugh Hefner's legacy", "an alien from Area 52", "a broker from K Street", and "a lackey of a media group".

In 1978, Xu Jinyan, a government-sponsored student studying abroad, was robbed as soon as he got off the plane.
After being knocked unconscious, he was taken to the hospital by ambulance and owed a lot of money.
In order to pay off his debts, Xu Jinyan published "The Pursuit of Happyness", "Basic Instinct", "The Shawshank Redemption", "Schindler's List", "Harry Potter" and "The English Patient" one by one. In the blink of an eye, he became the most sought-after and famous writer in America.
After The Pursuit of Happyness, Basic Instinct, The Shawshank Redemption and Schindler's List were acquired by Hollywood for sky-high screenwriting fees.
Classic movies such as Once Upon a Time in America, Forrest Gump, The Truman Show, Home Alone, Titanic, etc. have been brought to the big screen of this world in advance.
When One Hundred Years of Solitude was published, Xu Jinyan looked back and found that he was actually hailed as the last great American writer.

Interviewer: “Mr. Brad, I hear you were quite the force in the boxing ring?”
Richard Brad: “That’s right. Just clinched the championship belt.”
Interviewer: “Impressive! But what made you switch from boxing to acting?”
Richard Brad: [chuckles lightly] “Well… a lot of people kept telling me I had the kind of face that belonged on the big screen. Said it’d be a waste if I didn’t try acting. I gave it some thought, and you know what? They had a point. I mean, when you’ve got a face this high-definition, it’d be a crime not to put it to good use.”
From the boxing ring to Hollywood, from champion fighter to award-winning actor, from a nobody to a tycoon—Richard Brad has always believed in one thing:
Good-looking people are never short on luck.
