Hollywood Director 1992

Coppola leaned back on the sofa and sighed. He suddenly remembered Sophia's words. Sophia had criticized him for being too arrogant as a director, for not having ordinary viewers in his eyes. He thought about it carefully, and it seemed like that was the case.

Could it be that he also had to learn from Link, lower his standards, and make movies that even the illiterate would enjoy watching?

As soon as this thought appeared, he shook his head vigorously.

He couldn't think that way. Link's idea was wrong, and he must not be misled by Link.

Once there was a slide in thinking when making movies, the quality of the film would also decline seriously. In a few years, he would also be reduced to a garbage film director. This must never happen.

When he had time, he should also persuade Sophia not to mess around with Link.

In the fourth week of the release of "The Blair Witch Project", "The Hollywood Reporter" published an article stating that Link was the director of the film, and the news of the revelation that Triangle Entertainment was acquired by Guess Who Films caused a huge sensation in Hollywood.

Many people showed incredible expressions after seeing the article.

"Is this true?"

Bob Weinstein looked at the newspaper and then at his brother Harvey Weinstein.

Harvey Weinstein nodded. He and Joe Feller were acquaintances. After seeing this news, he immediately called to verify it. Feller did not hide it and said that the news of the merger between Triangle Entertainment and Guess Who Films was true.

Harvey continued to ask if "The Blair Witch Project" was filmed by Link. Feller smiled and did not answer. He only said that there was a confidentiality agreement and that he could not disclose any news related to "The Blair Witch Project".

This almost admitted that Link was the director of "The Blair Witch Project".

It also admitted that this film was a project of Guess Who Films.

Guess Who Films had only been established for a year, and two films in a row had been big hits. Each film had a North American box office of more than 100 million US dollars, and it was conservatively estimated to earn 500 million US dollars.

"Should we find shareholders to acquire Guess Who Films?"

Bob Weinstein looked at the 'profit of about 500 million' on the newspaper. The blood vessels in his retina slowly turned red. Link earned more money in one year than they brothers had earned in more than ten years.

"Don't worry, wait a little longer. Guess Who Films is currently in a rising period, and the acquisition is more difficult. When his next film project suffers losses and the company's operations are abnormal, it will be easier to acquire Guess Who and Link's film projects."

Harvey Weinstein said, suppressing his jealousy.

"Link is really an incredible guy."

Robert Shaye, president of New Line Cinema, sighed while chatting with Vice President Simon Fields. Simon Fields also nodded in agreement.

"It would have been great if we had signed Link to the company back then."

Carolco Pictures president Mario Kassar said regretfully.

"Link, tell me the truth, did you film 'The Blair Witch Project'?"

Quentin called Link and asked after seeing the news.

"No, I was so busy last year, how could I have time to make movies?"

Link smiled in the office.

"I asked Sophia, and she said yes."

"No way, Sophia is probably joking with you."

Link smiled at Sophia in front of him.

"Link, dare you swear to God, if you lie, you will become a quick shooter, impotent, hehe, dare you swear?"

Quentin said with a smirk on the phone.

Link's mouth twitched, "Stop talking nonsense, how is 'Pulp Fiction' preparing? My new film project has already started, and the studio is also being built. After the casting is over, my film will officially start shooting. Can your film start this month?"

"Don't interrupt. You deliberately changed the subject. Does that mean that the 'Hollywood Reporter' broke the news is true? You bastard made three movies last year?"

"I only pursue speed and box office when making movies, not quality. You don't need to be too envious."

"Bastard, Link, you are really a bastard. You made three movies in a year, and they all sold well. How can you do this and let other directors live?"

Quentin gritted his teeth into the microphone.

"Fellow practitioners are enemies. My purpose in making movies is to make money and win an Oscar statuette. Why should I consider others?"

Link joked.

"You are really a bastard. The newspaper said that you have found the password for movie hits. Is this true? Tell me quickly, what is the password?"

"It's very simple. You only need to hand over the work of executive producer and editor of 'Pulp Fiction' to me, and I guarantee that the movie will be a big hit."

"No way. 'Pulp Fiction' is my movie, my son, I will never give it to others."

"Then unfortunately, you cannot share my box office password."

"Hmph, I don't care. Without your box office password, my movie can also be a big hit. Not only will it be a big hit, but my movie also has a great chance of winning major film awards, while your movie will probably never win an Oscar."

"Haha, don't worry, I won't be too much later than you."

After chatting with Quentin, Link continued to discuss the filming of "Final Destination" with Sophia, Danny DeVito, and James Schamus, the chief producer of Good Machine.

There is no mistake in one song and one shot!

After more than two months of preparation, the crew has been formed, and the staff in the positions of director's assistant, assistant director, photographer, art director, costume props, etc. have been in place.

The studios involved in the plot are also under construction, and are expected to be completed after the movie starts shooting.

Currently, only the six leading actors have not arrived.

Link is busy with work and has no time to participate in the first few rounds of movie auditions. He wrote out the character designs for several roles and handed them over to Danny DeVito and Sophia, asking them to first select a few suitable new actors.

In the last round of auditions, he will select the most suitable candidates from these people.

"Link, do you want to choose the heroine too? I thought you would give this role to Jennifer Connelly."

Sophia said jokingly.

"She is too famous. If she plays the heroine Claire, other roles also need to use stars, otherwise it will easily steal the attention of other actors and affect the quality of the entire movie."

Before filming "Final Destination", he had also considered letting Jennifer Connelly play the heroine Claire, but Jennifer was in a transition period and did not want to play this kind of vase role that was sweet in appearance and did not require much acting skills.

In addition, after Jennifer Connelly read the script of "Seven Sins", she was very interested in the role of Tracy and said that she would definitely be able to play the role well.

Link agreed to let her try.

"So you still care about the box office. I thought your movies only used your own women as heroines."

"I'm not that unreliable. I said that the purpose of making movies is to make money and win awards, not to make someone popular. Of course, I choose the most suitable one when choosing a role, not actors with good relationships."

"That's what you said. Your requirements for this role are: young and beautiful, with a sweet appearance, a tall figure, firm and attractive breasts, and she must look like a good girl on the outside, but an rebellious girl on the inside, with a hint of wildness, preferably with a bit of mystery."

Sophia read the requirements on the character card and glanced at Link, "Isn't this requirement too much? Where can I find such an actor?"

"Daniel, is it too much?"

Link also wrote this when choosing roles before, and Daniel auditioned according to his requirements, and finally the candidates he helped him find were very suitable.

Daniel shook his head, "Not too much. The more detailed the requirements for actors when directors and screenwriters choose roles, the easier it is to find suitable people, and the more vague, the more difficult it is to find. Link designed the character card in extremely detail, which brings great convenience to our audition work, rather than obstacles."

"That's right."

James Schamus nodded and said, "There are many new actors in Hollywood, thousands of them. It is very easy to find a similar person or an actor who can play this type of role among these people. What we need to do is find the most suitable candidate among those people."

"I understand. This is equivalent to Link writing a missing person notice, and we use this missing person notice to find the most suitable candidate. This job sounds very interesting."

Sophia nodded with the character card in her fingers.
