Across America, Starting with the Boxing Champion

Chapter 167 Movie Release

 【Wednesday, "Billboard" magazine interview! Exclusive interview with a reporter from Vanity Fair! 】

 Shuush! A colored pen crossed over the form, leaving a bright red cross.

Link smiled softly. Perhaps only a busy person like himself could understand the joy of killing music. He straightened his tie in front of the mirror, put on his sunglasses and left the apartment.

 At noon, a silver-gray Porsche commercial vehicle was parked on the driveway in front of Yorkville Apartments.

Seeing Link coming out, the driver Bob got down and opened the door. After Link got in the car, he drove towards the Metropolitan Cinema.

“Boss, Eminem called just now and said he wanted to talk to you about the new song and asked when you would be free.”

Assistant Anna said.

Link pinched his forehead. There is an awards ceremony and a company reception tomorrow, and there is no time the day after tomorrow.

 “Ask Eminem, do you have time on the weekend?”

"good!"

 Half an hour later, the car arrived at the Metropolitan Cinema, where the premiere of "Blue Sea 2" was held today.

This film was invested and produced by Columbia Pictures with a cost of less than 12 million US dollars. It was originally a small production that was not taken seriously.

Just as Link's album became a hit and his popularity grew, the film studio directly used the title of Link's first film when promoting it.

 In the trailer released in March, he had as many roles as the male lead, changing from the third male lead to one of the leading actors.

 On the poster in the cinema, he and the male protagonist were shirtless, with the female protagonist standing in the middle, like a love triangle.

 Because of his participation, the media and fans have also paid great attention to this movie. What do you want to see about his first movie?

 The car arrived in front of the cinema. Thousands of spectators and fans came to the scene. There was also a group of media reporters waiting outside the red carpet area, taking photos and interviewing several celebrities who were invited to attend the premiere ceremony.

Including the male and female protagonists of "Blue Ocean 1" Paul Walker and Jessica Alba, as well as several more famous stars, Lindsay Lohan, Ashton Kutcher, etc.

 They were invited by the distributor to come to support the film. They were paid to do so and had little to do with the film.

Link opened the door and got out of the car. After waiting for a while, he saw Paul Walker driving over in a sports car. He was wearing a gray suit and looked very handsome.

 “Hey, Link, didn’t you bring your girlfriend?”

 Paul Walker greeted.

 “I didn’t invite her, she was very busy with work.”

 “I’m asking the other girlfriends, are they all busy?”

Paul Walker winked and smiled.

 “Don’t talk nonsense, I’m not as carefree as you.”

Link patted him on the shoulder and pushed him onto the red carpet.

 The two of them are wearing a blue suit and a gray suit. One has black hair and the other has blond hair. They are both tall and straight, with handsome looks.

 When the audience saw the two coming, they immediately burst into cheers and shouted their names.

Photojournalists kept pressing their shutters to take photos of the two handsome men walking side by side on the red carpet.

“Mr. Link Baker, can I interview you?”

 Some reporters shouted.

Link nodded and came to the edge of the red carpet for an interview.

"Mr. Baker, "Blue Sea 2" is your first movie starring in it. How did it feel during filming? Were there any difficulties?"

A reporter from Variety Entertainment Magazine asked.

"Yes, before filming this movie, I was a completely new actor and had no acting training. I did encounter many difficulties at the beginning of filming, but director Stephen Herrick is a very capable person. He taught me a lot on the set and we got through it together.”

Link talks in front of the camera.

"Mr. Baker, is it a temporary interest to participate in "Blue Sea 2" or do you plan to become a professional actor?"

 The "New York Daily News" reporter asked.

"I like movies and acting. If there is a good script, I will consider playing more roles." Link responded.

"Mr. Baker, I heard that you have entered New York University. We all know that you work a lot, including boxing, music, and movies. How do you usually arrange your time for work and study? Are you worried about failing the class?"

A reporter from "American Express" asked.

Link chuckled and said, "Yes, I am a little worried. I heard that if you fail a class, you will have to make up the exam, which will also affect your graduation. I don't want to be everyone's joke, so I will go to school as much as possible when I have time. "

“Mr. Baker, how is the recording of your second album going? When will it be released?”

The Baltimore Sun reporter asked.

“It is currently being recorded. The specific release time depends on the company’s arrangements.”

Link answered a few more questions, waved goodbye to reporters and fans, and followed Paul Walker into the cinema.

The plot of "Blue Sea Tracking 2" is similar to the first one. It tells the story of a couple of divers who are hired by a big shot to find the legendary wealth lost by Columbus on the seabed.

During the search, they discovered the secret of their employer. It turned out that the employer was looking for two nuclear warheads.

In order to save the world and catch the man behind the scenes, the hero and heroine battled wits and courage with the big shots. Finally, with the help of the police, they caught the man behind the scenes. The two also found the treasure of Columbus, became rich men, and lived happily together.

Link plays the role of an assistant to a big shot, who hires the hero and heroine to go into the sea to search for treasures with the hero and heroine, but secretly he is looking for nuclear warheads.

 In the original script, his character was a confidant of a big shot, leaking information about the male protagonist to the big shot, and was eventually caught by the police. However, in the movie, he and the protagonist became friends and worked together to deal with the mastermind behind the scenes.

Link watched it again and had to admire the skills of the editor of this movie. They were obviously two unrelated plots, but they were able to use editing methods to connect them together and express different meanings.

 “Link, what do you think?”

Director Stephen Herrick turned sideways and asked.

 “Looks pretty good.”

 He had never seen the original version, but considering that the movie was not well-known, he thought it was a bad movie.

 Just watched it for a while, and found that the plot is more exciting than expected, and there are many highlights. The actresses are all very hot, and Link and several male actors are also handsome.

There are also sports cars, yachts, fights, and explosions, which are more exciting than ordinary low-cost commercial films.

In addition, his original role was a villain, but now it has been changed to a decent role. The scene lasted more than ten minutes, so he has no dissatisfaction.

The only dissatisfaction was with the pay. When he received the film, he was the Golden Gloves Championship champion, and the pay was only US$100,000. Including post-production advertising fees, it was only US$500,000, which was not comparable to a small advertising endorsement.

"Link, you are very suitable for action scenes. Among Hollywood actors, most of the actors who are good at action scenes are old and the new generation has not yet grown up. If you want to achieve success in the film career, you can consider doing an action scene." actor."

Director Stephen said.

Link nodded. Being an action actor is indeed a suitable development direction, but he knows that Hollywood will be dominated by Marvel movies in the next ten years or so. If he wants to enter the top action actor ranks, he can only play superheroes.

 “Link, I can’t stand it anymore.”

Paul Walker held his forehead and said with a sad expression.

 “Are you feeling unwell?”

Link asked in confusion.

Paul Walker pointed at the big screen, "See for yourself. In a few minutes you will come out naked and show off your muscles and figure. If I were a woman, I could still watch it, but I am a man. You Think I’d like this kind of movie?”

“In the first part, you exposed your flesh no less than me. Oh, I understand, you are jealous that I have a better figure.”

"Bullshit, would I be jealous of you? Well, even if your muscles are better, my acting skills will definitely blow you away. If you don't believe it, just watch it. Tomorrow there will be film critics criticizing your poor acting skills and saying that you are a flower vase." Paul Walker teased road.

Link smiled lightly, not caring about being criticized for his poor acting skills.

 Let them see how bad their acting skills are first. After "Fighter" is released, they will be able to see how much they have improved and how hard they have worked.

My performance in "Blue Sea Tracking 2" was a bit poor, which is actually a good thing.
