Across America, Starting with the Boxing Champion

Chapter 505 Thank you from Ivaca

Link guessed right. Harvey was indeed very angry at this time. Palm Beach Pictures produced six movies in a row. The first four were big hits, the fifth made a small profit, but by the sixth movie it suffered a loss, and Weinstein Pictures was involved. Investment in the sixth film.

This made him have to question the authenticity of the box office, whether Link was causing trouble and deliberately used this movie to trick him, or whether Lionsgate had faked the box office when releasing the movie.

"Boss, according to our investigation, the probability of box office fraud is extremely small. The average box office results of single theaters in the areas where we distribute and the areas where Lions Gate Pictures distribute are very close, and even the box office of Lions Gate Pictures is a little higher. "

said Daniel Bartsek, head of distribution at Weinstein.

Harvey's face was gloomy. Through the box office data, he could see that Lionsgate Pictures had not cheated. Also, "The Master" had won multiple awards, which also showed that the film was of good quality. But what he didn't understand was why. Palm Beach Pictures' previous films were able to make money, but this one suffered a loss.

How could such a coincidence happen?

"Harvey, it's not Link who is causing trouble. "The Master" is the second movie we have cooperated with Palm Beach. The first "Silver Linings Playbook" was co-produced by us and Palm Beach and promoted and distributed by Lionsgate Pictures. From the release to the box office split, Lionsgate has been very fair. I don't think they will tamper with the box office of this movie. "The Master" did not do well at the box office, mainly because the story was too niche and the artistry was too strong, and the audience did not like it. Buy it."

Bob said sitting on the sofa.

Harvey looked up at him and said, "Shut up! This is all your fault. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have cooperated with that **** Link. Now that the movie is losing money, you should take the responsibility, not here. Explain that bastard."

"I know that I am responsible for the loss of "The Master", but Link also lost millions. It was also the first film of Palm Beach Pictures to obviously lose money. Isn't this something worth being happy about?"

Bob asked, spreading his hands.

Harvey frowned. If his company had not invested in "The Master," he would have burst out laughing when he saw the news in the newspaper about the box office loss of "The Master," but this time Weinstein Pictures also suffered a loss. How could this make him happy?

He glared at Bob angrily, "Shut up, I don't care what method you use, it's best to hurry up and let Lionsgate get obsessed with big productions, and hurry up and let Lionsgate lose money and go bankrupt. Now I have a day I don’t want to see news about Link either.”

"I know, I've been asking about Lions Gate during this time. Lions Gate has participated in many big productions this year, such as "The Wolf of Wall Street", "The Expendables 2", "The Hunger Games 2", and Brad Pitt's " "World War of the Dead", these movies cost more than 100 million US dollars to produce.

Think about it, Lionsgate Pictures has continued to participate in large-scale productions just after the situation improved. Next year, it will invest in more large-scale productions, and the capital chain will become tighter. By then, Lionsgate Pictures will only need to encounter a movie like "The Cut". Movies like "Throat Island" and "Windtalkers" will end up no better than MGM and Carlock Pictures. "

Bob sneered.

Harvey nodded as he listened, that was not bad, but he felt unhappy at the thought of having to wait two or three years, or even longer, to see Lionsgate lose money and go bankrupt.

He asked Bob to use other methods to let Lions Gate Films shoot more big productions and lose money and go bankrupt as soon as possible.

Bob nodded and agreed.

"Wow, why is the baby crying? Did he pee again?"

In the mountainside villa, Link held the crying Margarita and said.

"Cried."

Cynthia leaned next to him, blinking her big blue eyes and looking at the little guy curiously.

"Yes, this is the sister, Margarita, and you are the sister, Cynthia."

Link looked at the two cute little guys and smiled.

Margarita is more than three months old. She is not as wrinkled as she was when she was born. She has soft hair and a delicate little face. She looks like a little angel in the oil painting on the roof of the Sistine Chapel.

The one-and-a-half-year-old Cynthia next to her was made even more adorable by her mother. She has two small golden braids, blue eyes, a straight nose, pink cheeks, and a princess dress. She is also a cute little girl. Favor.

"Margarita."

Cynthia imitated him in pronouncing the little guy's name, and stretched out her short fingers to poke the little guy's face. Before the little guy could react, she giggled. "Margarita."

Alexander walked over with a toy car in his arms, wearing a pair of overalls, short black hair, and blinking eyes. He looked smart and cute.

Link changed the little guy's diaper, pushed the cart, and took Alexander and Cynthia for a walk outside, followed by three puppies.

"Does he have nothing to do now? Why is he taking care of the children at home every day?"

On the balcony, Taylor looked at the big one and the three little ones and asked.

"Isn't that bad? Not many men like children."

Ivaca put down her coffee cup and smiled.

"Humph, he prefers beautiful women."

Taylor crossed her legs and leaned on the chair, curling her lower lip in disgust.

Ivaca smiled slightly and said, "It's not like he has nothing to do. He just finished shooting those commercials and is currently training. There is also a boxing match next week. He has been busy all year."

Taylor nodded, "When will his new album be released?"

"The plan was to have all the songs for the album recorded by the end of the year, but he had too many things to do in the first half of the year and didn't have time to promote it, so he pushed the release date to the end of the year."

Ivaca said.

Taylor looked at Cynthia who was rolling on the lawn in the distance and was picked up by Link, "He hasn't released a new song for a long time. With his talent and more focus on music creation, he will definitely be able to write many good songs."

"You and him have a lot in common about music. If you have time, you can try to persuade him more."

Ivaca said.

Taylor looked at her and hesitated, "Aren't you angry when you see Link and I alone?"

Ivaca was stunned for a moment, held up the golden hair beside her ears and smiled: "If you and Link had not broken up, I would not have a man as good as him, and I would not have Margarita. If Lin Ke I would be a little unhappy if I was with another woman, but I wouldn’t be with you.”

Taylor snorted softly, "You want to use this method to compensate me? To compensate you for secretly poaching my corner?"

"Of course not. When Link and I got along, nothing super-friendly happened. Even if you broke up, it was not caused by me. On the contrary, I helped hide the video and delayed your breakup. I don’t owe you anything, and there’s no compensation. It’s more appropriate to say thank you.”

Ivaca chuckled while holding the coffee cup.

"Hmph, I don't need your thanks."

"In addition to thanking you for myself, I also want to thank you for Link. Thank you for your willingness to forgive him, and thank you for your willingness to let him get along with Alexander and Cynthia. Seeing Link now, I can feel that he is very happy. , I feel good too.”

Ivaca also looked at the father and son downstairs, with a comfortable smile on her cold cheeks.

Taylor blinked his blue eyes and turned to look at the garden downstairs.

Link also took the three little ones for a walk, and butterflies were flying around. Cynthia stumbled to catch the butterfly, ran two steps and fell on the grass. Before Link could help her up, little Cynthia got up by herself with her little **** sticking out, and continued to stretch. Catching butterflies with little claws.
