Conquer America, Start with a Boxing Champion

Hollywood Critic broke the news that during the voting process of the judges, Jennifer Lawrence firmly supported Link's award and was very active, which also affected the judgment of other judges and was one of the reasons for Link's award.

In response, Jennifer publicly responded that the movie "Rust and Bone" was great, she liked the movie and Link's performance.

However, "Nebraska" starring Bruce Dern was more depressing. After watching it, she did not identify with it, so she did not vote for Bruce Dern, and the same was true for the other three candidates.

She insisted on her choice when voting, and absolutely did not violate the jury's rules of judgment, nor did she say that she was partial.

The Los Angeles Times published an article saying that Link is the owner of Lionsgate Films and an entertainment tycoon. He has great influence in Hollywood. Most of the judges of this Cannes Film Festival work in the Hollywood film industry. When they voted, would they vote for him because of Link's identity?

If this is true, it seems unfair to other actors.

Actress Nicole Kidman publicly responded that voting for favorite movies or familiar actors is not only a matter of the Cannes Film Festival, but also in the Oscars, Golden Globes, and even in the general election. This is inevitable.

If you vote for someone else because you are familiar with Link and are worried about being talked about, this is truly unfair.

In addition, Link's performance in "Rust and Bone" is very wonderful. He boldly exposes himself in front of the camera and makes great sacrifices. His acting skills are absolutely superb. He deserves this award.

In addition, director Ang Lee, Christoph Waltz and other judges also publicly praised "Rust and Bone" and Link's performance in the movie.

The Cannes Film Festival also responded to these issues.

It said that the selection of each Cannes Film Festival award is based on the preferences of the judges. The jury members support whichever movie they like and which actor they like, rather than deciding based on public opinion. It has never been.

Therefore, the movies that win the Palme d'Or each year are not the ones with the best artistic level, but the ones that the jury likes.

The same is true for actor selection.

The winning actor is not necessarily the best actor in all the movies of this film festival, but his/her performance is more in line with the taste of the judges.

This is also the reason why there will be a lot of controversy after each Cannes Film Festival.

Cannes' "hot favorites must die", that is, movies and actors favored by the media before the awards ceremony often do not win awards.

The reason for this tradition is that the movies and actors liked by the public are often inconsistent with the movies and actors liked by professional judges.

The Cannes Film Festival welcomes the media to participate in the discussion of various awards, but will also respect the results of each jury's vote.

——

Seeing that the controversy over Link's award was suppressed, many media said that Link is currently a billionaire, a winner of 13 Olympic gold medals, a multiple Grammy Award winner, a boxing champion, and a world-class superstar. People like him who have many halos and great influence should not compete with ordinary actors for movie awards.

The Baltimore Sun said that Link "excessively pursues honors and various awards", which seems unfair to his competitors.

It is suggested that Link should not participate in the selection of awards at major film festivals. Excessive pursuit of these "vanities" will affect his "reputation" and the gains will not outweigh the losses.

This comment was immediately strongly refuted by the mainstream media and Link's fans after it was issued.

The Los Angeles Times believes that there is absolutely no "excessive" pursuit of honor. If Link has too many Olympic gold medals and gives up the Olympics, and has too many gold belts and gives up boxing, it seems too "harsh" and very ridiculous.

The New York Times published a comment saying that after Link reached the top of boxing, he then reached the top of the music world, and now he continues to work hard in the film industry and climb to the top. This is a very brave and powerful behavior, and it is also worthy of everyone's learning and admiration. Only when there are more people like Link, human beings will know how powerful their potential is, and the world will become more exciting.

The Ring magazine also published a comment saying that the pursuit of boxing is "stronger". There is no doubt that Link is one of the strongest boxers in the boxing world today. He is a peak in the boxing world and the goal, idol and motivation of countless professional boxers to pursue strength.

For his opponents, competing with him is an honor and by no means "unfair". If there were no people like Link in the boxing world, the sport would lose all its charm and humans would stop in their pursuit of the "strongest".

Therefore, Link's "excessive pursuit of honor" is definitely something worthy of praise and celebration. Everyone should cheer for him to continue fighting in the ring.

Link's fans also refuted on various social platforms that if Link was a person who pursued honor too much, he would never announce his withdrawal from the selection of major music awards early and leave the opportunity to others.

He knows how to give opportunities to younger singers, which is very precious in the music world.

In addition, in the profession of actor, Link is a "newbie" compared to many people.

At major film festivals and film awards, he has currently only won one ‘Berlin Film Festival Best Actor Award’, one ‘Cannes Film Festival Best Actor Award’, and has been nominated for the Golden Globe Best Actor Award twice.

He has not won many awards, and there is no saying that he pursues awards excessively. However, he is not afraid of hard work and does not seek pleasure. He dares to keep trying in new fields and strive for more recognition and awards. This behavior is worthy of all fans. Worship and learn.

"Damn it, how could it be like this?"

Harvey Weinstein felt as uncomfortable as eating a ton of flies when he saw the comments praising Link in the mainstream media and the overwhelming support for Link from his fans on the Internet.

When the Cannes Film Festival was selecting Best Actor, he received inside information that Link might win.

After learning about the situation, he took the initiative to call several judges, such as Christoph Waltz, who won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for "Django Unchained", and asked them to vote for Link and help Link win the Best Actor award. Protagonist Award.

The reason why he did this was not to help Link, but to trick Link.

Everyone knows that Jennifer Lawrence is Link's woman. Letting Link win the award when she is a judge and fanning the flames afterwards will definitely cause a lot of controversy in the media. If done correctly, it will also make Link's reputation damaged.

It went smoothly at first, but the news that Link won the Best Actor Award caused a lot of controversy in the American media. There were very loud voices of doubt. Link also received a lot of criticism and suffered some damage to his reputation.

But after Link returned to the United States, the public opinion situation took a turn for the worse.

The focus of media discussion shifted from whether Link should win the award to a discussion about Link's "excessive pursuit of honors."

This discussion not only involves Link personally, but also involves issues of values ​​and social orientation.

If the media believes that Link's excessive pursuit of glory is true, there will be many negative consequences.

For example, veteran actors such as Meryl Streep have been selected for the Academy Award for Best Actress ten times in a row. Is this wrong?

Also, is it wrong for athletes to compete for gold medals in multiple Olympic Games?

As well as the Pulitzer Prize, Fields Medal in Mathematics, Pritzker Architecture Prize, etc., and even NBA, NFL and other ball awards.

When the media discussion involves social aspects, the mainstream media has to step aside to support Link, refute the statement of "excessive pursuit of honor" and prevent people's thinking from confusion.

When the mainstream media stopped supporting Link, the news that Link won the Cannes Film Festival award changed from being full of controversy to being full of positive energy.

This also magnified the significance of Link's award again, from Link being a good actor to Link being a high-quality idol who works hard and constantly pursues honors.

At the same time, the negative comments in the past not only failed to damage Link's reputation, but actually made Link's reputation better.

Harvey became very angry at the thought.

In order to deceive Link, he did not hesitate to use some favors and spend some money. In the end, he not only failed to deceive Link, but also helped Link become the best actor in Cannes, which indirectly helped Link gain a lot of goodwill and made his golden brand even more shining. Bright.

"Harvey, don't do these things. Link is a master of hype. He relied on hype to make his fortune. We can't beat him with this trick."

Bob said helplessly.

He originally thought that Link's winning of the award was an accident, and that it was natural for him to be criticized by the media afterwards. But when he heard Harvey's words, he realized that Harvey was behind all of this.

Harvey wanted to trick Link, but was defeated again by Link.

Bob shook his head, wanting to point his finger at Harvey's nose and say 'idiot'.

Link is worth tens of billions and is a shareholder of News Corporation. He has good friends with many media groups and has a team of professionals who are good at publicity and hype. For a person like him, ordinary negative news is of no use to him and will instead be wasted. money.

"This is a matter between me and Link, please don't worry about it."

Harvey waved his hands and took a few deep breaths with his big belly, "Now that Link is being targeted by the six major film studios, it is a good opportunity for us to take action. If we win, Lionsgate Pictures will go bankrupt, and we will also There will be some benefits. If you do nothing at this time, it would be foolish to miss a good opportunity. "

"But I think all actions against Lionsgate should be focused on movies. Release more high-grossing movies, make more money, and seize the box office share that originally belonged to Lionsgate. Only then can we truly compete with Lionsgate. Competition, any other approach is useless.”

"Of course I know this. This time I take action against Link. Isn't it also against his movie? "Rust and Bone" is a movie released by Lionsgate. If Link's reputation is tarnished, this movie will The box office will also be affected, but Link is too cunning, more cunning than a damn fox."

Harvey cursed angrily.

Bob frowned, not thinking that Harvey could think so far, but he didn't want to have a dispute with Harvey on this matter, so he opened the folder and discussed the movie project with Harvey.

After receiving US$300 million in production funds from Warner Pictures, Weinstein Pictures' financial situation has also improved, and it can strive to make more movies and make more money.

When it comes to making movies, Harvey is a professional and he needs to listen to Harvey's opinions.

Harvey took the file and looked at it, and pointed out a few scripts he had read. He believed that these projects would have certain market potential after they were filmed, but the premise was that the cost should not be too high. In terms of directors, Harvey also had some good ones. suggestions.

Bob took note of it carefully.

"Huh? I remember there was a script for "The Butler", why isn't it here?"

Harvey asked, pointing to the document.

"Director Lee Daniels also submitted the script to Lionsgate, and Lionsgate agreed to invest, so..."

Bob said hesitantly.

"What?!"

Harvey was furious. Just as he was about to stand up, his head became dizzy. He plopped back into his chair and cursed Link.
