Hollywood Director 1992

At the party, Link took the initiative to approach the 《Forrest Gump》 crew, congratulating them on winning the grand prize at this year's Golden Globe Awards.

Leaving aside the artistic merit of the movie 《Forrest Gump》, its storytelling method, the themes designed within the film, and the use of CGI visual effects are all worthy of imitation and learning by many filmmakers.

When Tom Hanks saw him, he enthusiastically introduced him to the crew members, and finally invited him to stand in the middle and take a group photo with the crew.

Monica Bellucci also attended this year's Golden Globe Awards. Last year, she starred in the biographical film 《Ed Wood》, which was released in September. Although the box office performance was average, the word-of-mouth was good, and it received three nominations at this year's Golden Globe Awards.

Link also went to the 《Ed Wood》 crew to say hello, chatting with director Tim Burton and lead actor Johnny Depp.

Director Tim Burton directed the first two films of the 《Batman》 series. By the third film, the script he created was too niche and did not meet the requirements of Warner Bros. Pictures, so he was replaced.

Link had no conflicts with him. Considering that Tim Burton was also a very talented director, Link also extended a collaboration invitation to him.

As for Johnny Depp, he and Winona Ryder had completely broken up before he started dating her. Depp also found a new girlfriend, so the two could not be considered rivals in love.

However, when Winona Ryder publicly stood up to support him, Depp took the initiative to send him a message, hoping that he would treat Winona better, because Winona was a very fragile girl.

Link said he would.

Jodie Foster also attended this year's Golden Globe Awards. Last year, she starred in 《Nell》, which received three nominations, including Best Actress in a Drama for her.

Link also found her to chat, and through her, he met British director Michael Apted and the film's male lead, Liam Neeson.

"Why do I see you running around at the party? What are you doing?"

Jodie Foster stood in front of him with a champagne glass, her bright blue eyes constantly scrutinizing him.

"What do you mean running around? I'm expanding my network."

"Now, the seven major film companies are rumored to be blacklisting Guess What Pictures, hoping that directors and actors in the industry will not cooperate with you. Is it too late for you to think about expanding your network at this time?"

Jodie Foster wrinkled her pretty nose, appearing somewhat charmingly feminine.

"It's precisely because the seven major film companies are rumored to be blacklisting Guess What Pictures that I'm taking the initiative to expand my network. Whether it's useful or not, I'll do it first."

"You're really something. You make a movie and get a box office champion, and you start a film company that the seven major film companies join forces to target. If you continue to do this, Hollywood will be turned upside down by you."

"Aren't you very impressed with me?"

"Not at all. I'm just thinking about staying away from you to avoid being rumored to be dating you."

Jodie Foster deliberately took a half step back, smiling playfully.

Just as Link was about to speak, Michael Ovitz walked over from the opposite side, his face full of smiles, but the smile was stiff, making people feel that he had bad intentions.

"Haha, Link, congratulations on your movie winning an award, oh, I mean at the Berlin Film Festival."

Michael Ovitz laughed.

"Winning an award anywhere is the same, Michael. I heard you're a very busy person, how do you have time to attend the awards ceremony?"

"Why can't I come?! If it weren't for the participation of our CAA, the Golden Globe Awards would have half as many movies."

Michael Ovitz snorted.

Link was just asking casually, but Michael Ovitz thought he was mocking him, satirizing him for not getting a nomination and not deserving to attend the awards ceremony.

"Michael, why do you seem to be here to argue with Link?"

Jodie Foster joked.

Michael Ovitz's mouth twitched, concealing the dissatisfaction on his face.

After the scandal broke, he once again conveyed his personal attitude to his clients through the agents in the company, hoping that they would not cooperate with Guess What Pictures, nor did he want them to be too close to Link in private.

As a result, Jodie Foster completely ignored it, speaking up for Link in front of him. It was truly outrageous.

If Jodie Foster wasn't an Oscar-winning actress and a top actress, he would definitely have someone blacklist her as a warning to others.

"Mike, are you really here to argue with me? If you are, I have to say I'm sorry, I have no interest in arguing with you."

Link joked.

"Hmph! I'm not interested in arguing with you either. I have something to talk to you about."

Michael Ovitz restrained the extra expressions on his face, his face became cold, and his whole body exuded a sharp aura. Although this Hollywood tycoon's power has declined in the past two years, once he gets serious, the sharpness on his body still makes people dare not underestimate him.

"Please speak!"

"Link, I represent several investment companies to negotiate with you for the last time. Regarding the second round of financing for Guess What Pictures, we hope that you can take the initiative to lower the price and take out more shares for financing, so that more capital can be injected into Guess What Pictures. This is good for you and the company, and I hope you can accept this proposal."

Michael Ovitz said stiffly.

"What price are you willing to give?"

Link asked.

Hearing that he had loosened his stance, Michael Ovitz sneered, "A market value of 600 million US dollars, with a minimum of 50% of the shares. This is the most suitable price."

"Is this your negotiating attitude?"

Link shook his head, "30% of the shares, with a market value of 1.6 billion US dollars, is the final offer. These two points will not change. Also, Michael, if you are the negotiating representative arranged by the investment company, I am disappointed. I hope they can find a more professional person to talk."

"Link, you should have heard how powerful the seven major film companies and the capital behind them are. Lowering the price and taking out more shares for financing is the only way out for Guess What Pictures. Otherwise, you will face industry-wide sanctions next. Are you sure you want to be enemies with everyone?"

Michael Ovitz frowned and sneered.

"Michael, you can only represent yourself, you can't represent everyone."

"Haha, okay Link, I'm glad to see you looking so firm and unyielding. I hope you can still be so calm and composed the next time we meet."

No mistake, one first, one hair, one inside, one volume, one in, one see, one see!

Michael Ovitz smiled noncommittally.

"It should be possible. I've been hit and targeted many times from my debut until now, but my ability and luck are good, and I've won time and time again. This time I believe I can still win."

Link raised his head and straightened his chest, and a firm look was revealed in his deep black eyes. The originally confident aura became even stronger.

Michael Ovitz narrowed his eyes, only feeling that his state was very dazzling.

Jodie Foster looked at Link appreciatively and smiled, "Michael, why don't you guys bet again, I can be a notary."

"Hmph! Link, you won't be lucky forever, you're doomed to lose this time."

Michael Ovitz smiled coldly and squeezed past the two of them with a duck walk.

"This person is really annoying. I heard people in the company say that Michael Ovitz was very good in the early days of CAA's establishment. He was humble and polite, treated people with gentleness and kindness, was shrewd and capable, and a social expert. He was a well-known gentleman in the industry.

It was only after CAA became the strongest company in the talent agency industry that he began to become tyrannical and domineering, greedy for power, and ambitious. Lew Wasserman, the former chairman of Universal Pictures who had helped him, was stabbed in the back by him, and almost had a heart attack and died.

Several partners who founded CAA with him left CAA one after another because they couldn't stand his ways. David Fincher even said that he didn't know gratitude. It seems that power can indeed change a person."

Jodie Foster looked at him and smiled, "Link, when you become a big shot in Hollywood in the future, don't become like him."

Link shrugged, "I'm one of the most powerful people in Hollywood now, even stronger than Michael Ovitz. Do you think I've changed?"

"You've changed, you've become more promiscuous and lecherous. If I hadn't read the newspapers, I wouldn't have known that you had so many girlfriends."

Jodie Foster laughed.

Link smiled and shook hands with director James Cameron and Schwarzenegger who came to say hello.

Link asked director Cameron about the filming situation of 《Titanic》. Director Cameron said that the initial funding has been到位, and the crew is building a large ship on the Rosarito Beach in Southern California, which is expected to be completed within the year.

Link thought that shooting 《Koxinga》 would require shipbuilding and also shooting naval battles. In the future, maybe he could use the location of 《Titanic》. He suggested going to the base to take a look after it was built, and director Cameron welcomed him.

"Director Link, is it convenient to accept my interview here? There are only three questions."

After director Cameron left, Ross Stanton, the entertainment editor of 《Los Angeles Times》, asked.

This person has interviewed Link many times, praised him and criticized him in the newspaper, and the two can be regarded as old acquaintances.

"Okay Ross, I hope your questions aren't too sensitive."

"No, my questions are easy to answer."

Ross Stanton began the interview, mainly asking about the recent scandal, his true relationship with many actresses, his attitude towards many public figures speaking out, and whether he would change his style because of these issues.

While he was being interviewed, a pair of beautiful eyes were staring at him intently.

"Nicole, what are you looking at?"

In the 《Interview with the Vampire》 seating area, Tom Cruise noticed that his wife, Nicole, often looked towards Link while everyone was chatting. Originally, he should have been angry, but considering Michael Ovitz's plan, he suppressed the anger in his heart and pretended not to know, asking Nicole, also to make her pay attention, there are many people here, don't embarrass him.

Nicole Kidman looked away and said she was looking at Monica, saying that Monica's necklace was very beautiful and she wanted to buy the same one.
