Across America, Starting with the Boxing Champion

Chapter 397 The situation is compelling

Today’s breakfast was destined to be uneventful. Not long after I put down the phone, Paul Walker, Casey Affleck, Joaquin Phoenix, Emma Roberts, Jessica Alba and others called one after another.

Asked him about the conflict he had with Harvey. It was rumored that Harvey was going to ban him in Hollywood. He also called the directors and actors close to him, hoping they would support his decision and be careful about working with Link.

 They also called to inquire about the situation after receiving news from acquaintances.

“Link, I heard that you and Weinstein Pictures were cooperating to make a movie. Why did it suddenly fall apart?”

Paul Walker asked.

“Maybe it’s because the newspapers say I’m a Republican.”

“Huh? Are you really a Republican and are you still planning to run?”

Paul Walker asked in surprise.

 “No, I’m non-partisan, I’m not interested in politics.”

Link said with a smile.

Ivaca taught him before that when politicians need to be more tactful, good at lying and deceiving the people, and when others ask about it, they can call themselves Democrats and support the policies of the Democratic Party. It doesn't matter.

Just like her father, who was a Democratic Party in the city in the 1980s, became a Republican in the 1990s, joined the Democratic Party in 2001, the Republican Party in 2009, and joined the Reform Party during the period.

Link knew that what Ivaca said made sense, but he couldn't be as smooth as his old father-in-law, nor could he lie to Paul Walker.

"So this is a misunderstanding? That's great. You can call Harvey and explain it to him. I think he won't care about it anymore."

Paul Walker said.

Link heard him talking about Harvey and was very close to him, and asked him if he was also familiar with Harvey?

Paul Walker explained that in 1999, he became a youth idol with the movie "Pretty Girl".

 This movie is produced by Miramax Pictures.

 He and Harvey were familiar, but not close.

Link felt helpless. Harvey and Miramax's ability to create stars is indeed very strong. They have made hundreds of movie stars popular since the 1990s. Almost all the veteran movie stars currently active on the screen have collaborated with him. Including a few close friends around me, including Paul, Cassie, Joaquin, etc.

 Seeing this situation, he also understood why the victims of Harvey's sexual assault incident did not dare to speak out before Harvey's fall.

Because Harvey's connections are too strong, once they make a statement, they will have no place in Hollywood. Saying goodbye to the entertainment industry completely will be too costly.

“Paul, things here are complicated. Just calling to explain is useless, but you don’t have to worry. No matter how powerful Weinstein is, he can’t do anything to me.”

Link said bluntly.

"Okay, okay, I almost forgot that you are also a tycoon and are on the Forbes list. Link, you are so awesome. When will we go racing together? I haven't raced with the richest people on the Forbes list yet. You Can you please satisfy me?"

Paul Walker laughed.

“Drag racing? Last year we made a bet that the loser couldn’t touch the steering wheel for three years. In the end, you lost and you’re still racing?”

“Haha, of course I’m not driving. I’m filming on the set. Link, I still have some work to do here. Goodbye, let’s talk later.”

 Click! The call was hung up by Paul Walker.

Link shook his head, this guy was also disobedient.

Jingle Bell!

As soon as the phone was hung up, Emma Roberts called again, saying that she had received news from her aunt that Harvey was going to ban him in Hollywood and asked him what happened?

Link said he was not sure. It might be a political issue or something else. It is still under investigation and there is no way to give an accurate explanation.

"Link, there are rumors that it's because of Jennifer Lawrence. The news came from the crew of "Silver Linings Playbook". Harvey originally didn't want Jennifer to be the heroine, but he used strong methods to force Jennifer into the crew, saying that you I had a conflict with Harvey over this matter, right?"

Emma Roberts seems to be a pessimist, and what she says is also outrageous.

From the background sound of the microphone, it seemed that there was more than one person around her, and someone was laughing next to her.

Link heard helplessly. The trigger of his conflict with Harvey was indeed Jennifer, but the main reason was that he used Harvey's sexual assault news as a shield in September last year, and he didn't like Harvey very much. . "Is that so? I remembered that last year Jennifer went to audition for "Silver Linings Playbook" and Harvey wanted to harass her. I called and warned Harvey to stay away from her. Harvey apologized on the spot. I originally thought that this was It just happened. I didn’t expect him to target me because of this.”

Link thought it would be a good idea to use this as an excuse.

 First of all, this is a fact.

 Secondly, Harvey is a habitual criminal, which is more convincing.

 Finally, this is Hollywood, where there are the most cases of jealousy over women, and they are the most interesting.

“So that’s it, then you have to be careful, Harvey is not a good person, he has very strong connections in Hollywood.”

Emma Roberts said.

While Emma was talking, someone next to her was saying, ‘Remind him what he’s doing, he and Harvey are both scumbags, it’s a good thing no matter who is unlucky, let’s just watch the show’.

Link's face turned dark when he heard this, "Emma, ​​I know, I will pay attention, and you tell the vampire next to you to be careful, people like her are the easiest to attract the attention of scumbags. "

 “Haha, okay, I will tell her.”

Emma Roberts laughed.

Christine’s dissatisfied voice also came from the phone.

Link smiled lightly, hung up the phone, and received messages from Cassie and several others in the chat software.

Most of them are trying to persuade him to take the initiative to reconcile with Harvey, telling him that Harvey is relatively powerful in Hollywood. If he wants to develop in Hollywood, it is best not to have conflicts with Harvey, but to find a way to reach a reconciliation.

Link thanked them for their kind persuasion, but it was Harvey who initiated this matter. He did not want to make trouble and nothing would happen.

 It is impossible for him to take the initiative to apologize to Harvey.

 Although Harvey's power in the United States is very large, it is not impossible to deal with him.

Jingle Bell!

While sending the message, Ms. Anna called and told him that the producer of "Time Planning Bureau" said that negotiations were not possible and their attitude was very tough.

Ms. Anna also introduced that the production company of "Time Planning Bureau" is New Regency Pictures.

The company's boss is Arnoon Milchan, an Israeli Jew and one of the top ten Hollywood gold medal producers. His representative works include "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", "Pretty Woman", "Boxing Club", "The Wire", "The Flash" and other hundreds of films. work.

He once publicly admitted on a television station that he had been recruited as a spy by the current Israeli President Shimon Peres since the 1960s. He worked for the Scientific Liaison Bureau, the intelligence agency responsible for Israel's nuclear program, and successfully completed dozens of secret missions, and was touted by the media. Be a hero.

 Many of the films he has participated in are also considered to be political films, including the famous animated film "Fantastic Mr. Fox".

The movie is about a fox who makes a living by stealing. After Jinpen washes his hands, he buys a tree house between three farms: a chicken farm, a ham merchant and a cider house. In order to raise his children, he has to start petty theft again. During the day and night, he stole chickens, hams, and cider from three farmers. After being retaliated by the farmers, he united with many animal friends to fight back and defeated the cruel farmers.

This movie has a very unfair outlook, but Arnold Milchan has made a lot of money by investing in movies. He is worth 3.8 billion U.S. dollars. He ranks 92nd on this year's Forbes 400 list of the richest Americans. He is also a film industry leader. guy.

 Harvey has worked with Arnaud Milchan several times and has a good personal relationship.

Link heard Anna mentioning the gold medal producer Arnoen and found that the matter was gradually becoming more difficult. Jews dominated Hollywood and the media industry. If they met them now, the probability of losing would be even greater.

 He told Anna to give up the play "Time Planning Bureau" first.

Contact the detective named Raymond Carter and ask him to investigate the sexual assault case related to Harvey Weinstein. There is no time limit. If he can investigate key evidence, give him a heavy reward.

Ms. Anna said she understood.

After putting down the phone, he found that the barbecue on the plate had already cooled down. Ivaca had also changed into a long skirt and urged him to hurry up in the living room. The art exhibition at the Getty Art Center was about to begin.

Ivaca said that the decoration of his villa was too rich and he had no artistic taste. She wanted to take him to an art exhibition and buy some artworks to use as decorations.

 If you are lucky and buy works of art from promising artists, their value may increase in the future.

 Link didn’t object. After breakfast, he accompanied Ivaca to the Getty Art Center in Brentwood to see an art exhibition.
