Across America, Starting with the Boxing Champion

Chapter 570 Link’s Scandal

Just after the MTV Video Awards, Taylor's first promotional single "Shake It Off" from her fifth album "1989" was released.

This single was co-written by Link and Taylor. Within a few weeks of its release, it topped the music charts in 24 countries and regions including Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Poland, and Hungary, and topped the U.S. Billboard singles chart for six consecutive weeks. Champion, 8-week runner-up.

The sales volume in the United States reached 6.2 million copies in the first month of release, surpassing the top-selling single "Happy" in the first half of the year, and is expected to become a 'diamond single'.

The promotional single was a hit and "1989" was about to be released. Taylor began to travel around for promotions. His work schedule was very full and he had no time to take care of the children at home. The heavy responsibility of taking care of Alexander and Cynthia fell on Link.

It happened that he didn't have much work during this time, so he took care of three children at home, trained boxing, and prepared for the next boxing match.

However, in the entertainment industry, Link is a big star. Even if he does nothing, there will be many scandals about him.

For example, in early September, "Hollywood Gossip Queen" Lindsay Lohan revealed on an entertainment show that she had had "intimate relationships with 36 men."

Including Justin Timberlake, Zac Efron, James Franco, Colin Farrell, Orlando Bloom, Ashton Kutcher and other popular Hollywood male stars, they are called "Hollywood" by the media The Philatelic Queen'.

During the show, the host asked if there was Link. Link was also a **** in the past. The two had crossed paths several times. For example, when Link released "The Woman I Love" and caused the "falling down to show off wealth incident", Lindsay Lohan Also involved.

When the host asked a question, Lindsay Lohan didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional. She hesitated for two seconds before saying no, saying that she and Link were friends and had attended several of Link's parties, but had no intimate relationship.

Although Lindsay Lohan explained in time, her expression was ambiguous because she paused for two seconds before answering.

After the show aired, netizens started talking about it, claiming that the two had an inappropriate relationship and that Link was collecting stamps.

Link couldn't stand up to explain this kind of thing. With his identity and influence, the more he explained, the bigger the problem would be. He could only explain it to Evaka and Taylor at home, and it had absolutely nothing to do with Lindsay Lohan.

Ivaca believed what he said. The incident of falling down and showing off her wealth was planned and implemented by her. Lindsay Lohan was a star that Paris Hilton contacted and had little to do with Link.

But Taylor didn't believe it, saying that he had no taste and was not picky about food. He even wanted to have **** with Bichi like Lindsay Lohan. As a result, Bichi collected stamps and asked him how he felt?

Link couldn't explain it and could only let Taylor pick on him.

Lindsay Lohan's self-reported scandal caused quite a stir. Jennifer Lawrence was asked about it by the host in an interview with Vanity Fair. Jennifer sneered and said it was false. If Lindsay Lohan and Link had a close relationship, Then she doesn't need to be famous in this way now'.

Although Jennifer Lawrence's words brought out Link, after being publicized by the media, the incident triggered even bigger news.

A media investigation found that female celebrities who had scandals or dated with Link in the past are now doing well.

First of all, Taylor is the queen of singing. Jennifer Lawrence is the Oscar-winning actress and a popular actress. She has been in the top three in the actress rankings for two consecutive years. Daddario is the queen of horror movies. Her resources are getting better and better, and she earns tens of millions. .

Marion Cotillard is France's number one actress and one of the shareholders of Paris Rose Films. She has done well in the past two years and is worth tens of millions of euros.

Emma Watson has not made many appearances in the United States in the past two years, but she is still a popular actress in the industry.

And Amber Heard is now Johnny Depp’s wife.

After a brief relationship with Link, supermodel Doutzen Kroes is now also a wealthy wife and became a mother in July.

Emma Stone, who had an affair with Link, is also a popular actress now.

If you include Link's real wife, Miss Ivaca, she is worth over one billion this year. It seems that the closer she is to Link, the better her career will develop.

To sum up, everyone thinks Jennifer Lawrence is right.

Lindsay Lohan really has nothing to do with Link, otherwise she wouldn't be getting worse as she gets mixed up. Also, Link's rumored girlfriends seem to have good reputations, unlike Lindsay Lohan who often breaks out some messy news.

At the same time, the media also discovered that Link, the former number one **** in the entertainment industry, seemed to be somewhat unworthy of his reputation.

Link is a world superstar, a **** man, and a super rich man. In the entertainment industry for so many years, he has only had less than ten scandal targets, while people like Leonardo, James Franco, and Ashton Kutcher often have more than ten or twenty scandals. Sometimes I change several female companions a year.

Compared to them, Link is really not much of a playboy.

After all these years, the same women who have had affairs with Link are still the same, which shows that Link is very dedicated.

Under the exaggeration of these media, Link accidentally became a clean figure in the entertainment industry, a perfect good man.

“Is this our public relations team guiding public opinion?”

Link held the newspaper and looked at the news. He felt a little incredible. He had so many rumored girlfriends. Even if he was not a scumbag, he was not a good man. However, the media said that he was a good man. This could only be because of the PR team. Help him with image public relations.

Ivaca smiled slightly, put down the coffee cup and said, "The PR department has not reported on this work recently. It should not be their job."

"The media spontaneously help me promote it?"

Link shook his head, feeling that the media was not so kind and there might be some conspiracy.

"Dear, is there a possibility that you are a good man and the media is just doing objective reporting?"

Ivaca pursed her bright and plump lips and smiled.

"A good man? Am I? I think a man like Tom Hanks is a good man."

"Husband, you are diligent and progressive, have a healthy lifestyle, are good to me and the children, and take good care of your friends. In my heart, you are the best man in the world."

Eva held his hand and smiled lovingly.

Link smiled softly and kissed the back of her hand, "Wife, you are also the best woman in my heart."

Jingle bell bell!

Just as the two were about to kiss, the mobile phone on the table rang, and it turned out to be Leonardo's call.

"What's the matter?" "Hey, Link, I heard that you have become the number one good man in the entertainment industry. Congratulations. You have gone from being the number one **** to the number one good man. How do you feel?"

"Speak directly if you have something to say, don't be arrogant."

"Hmph, when you are hyping up 'good men', can you not use me as a negative example? Although I am a playboy, I don't pick up several women at the same time. Compared with you, I am a real good man."

Leonardo said dissatisfied.

"What do you mean I'm hyping up a good man? Do you think these news are press releases arranged by me?"

"Isn't it?"

"I'm not that boring. With my status, what's the point of adding a 'good man' label? I have a wife and children now, and it's not like a single like you who needs to fabricate the identity of a good man to deceive a little girl."

"Zhete! Lying to a little girl? Who are you talking about?"

"How was the movie going?"

Link didn't want to be chatty with him, so he changed the topic.

Leonardo is currently filming on the set of "The Revenant". Before filming this film, Leonardo DiCaprio also invested in the filming of a documentary about poachers, "Virunga."

It tells the story of a group of poachers who hunted the endangered mountain gorillas in Africa's oldest national park, Virunga, and started a fight with the park management team.

This documentary is jointly produced by Appian Trail Pictures and Netflix, with Leonardo as the documentary producer. The story is somewhat similar to "The Revenant". Leonardo also wants to use this documentary to learn more about hunters. Find inspiration for filming "The Revenant" and enrich the character design.

After filming the documentary, DiCaprio joined the crew of "The Revenant". The film was shot in several national forests in Canada and the United States and is expected to be completed early next year.

Leonardo heard him ask about the movie and complained to him that the filming environment of the crew was very poor.

While sleeping in the nanny's car at night, I could hear the howling of wolves in Calgary's Dinosaur Valley. When I got out of the car in the morning, I accidentally stepped on a frozen venomous snake. He was originally a vegetarian, but was forced to eat it in order to make a movie. Raw beef, I almost vomited afterwards.

Link said that this was not enough. If he wanted to win the Oscar for Best Actor, he needed to suffer more, such as being chased by wolves in the forest, being crawled into bed by a poisonous snake, and so on.

Leonardo scolded him, saying that he made movies out of love, not to win awards.

Link asked him to remember this sentence and not wait until the next time he doesn't get an Oscar to complain.

After chatting for a while, Link hung up the phone and continued reading other news in the newspaper.

Come September, Lionsgate has two movies in theaters, "Crackpot" and "The Conjuring 2."

If this situation continues, in a few years, Lionsgate Pictures may become another Universal Pictures or Warner Pictures.
