Soon after, the fish owner decides to retire, he sells the Zephyr to a tycoon named Wesley (Jeremy Slater), and in order to keep the memories he shares with his father, Rose decides to save money to buy the Zephyr back. To this end, Rose began to sing at the bar at night, and met a girl named Laurel (Laurie Goldwin), in fact, Laurel was born with a golden spoon, she was touched by Rose's persistence and decided to help him buy back the Zephyr.

The real "Elvis Presley" is also similar to the protagonist in the film, except that Elvis Presley succeeded at a young age with his talent and musical innovation. In March 1957, Elvis Priceley, 22, the 22-year-old Elvis Presley, bought a luxury mansion in Memphis called the Land of Gifts for more than $100,000. He was already a star at the time and was working on his second film, I Love You.

That land had been built by S. S. for generations before. Owned by the E. Toff family, it was named after the name grace (grace) of a female relative of the family. Grace and her husband built the mansion in 1939. Above is Elvis and Yvonne Lime in "Grace's Land" around 1957.

"Elvis Presley" built a swimming pool here, and a jukebox was placed next to it to entertain relatives and friends. In addition, he created a "jungle room" with a green coarse carpet in a bohemian-themed style.

"Elvis" died of a heart attack on August 16, 1977, after battling the disease, and was buried there at the age of 42.

Five years later, the Land of Gifts opened to the public and became one of the most popular tourist destinations in the United States, attracting visitors from all over the world. Many people visit every year to commemorate his death day (address is Elvis Presley Avenue 3764).
