Conquer America, Start with a Boxing Champion

Beep!

Hearing the whistle outside the window, Link glanced and saw Bob's black Mercedes-Benz car slowly driving out of the parking lot.

Thinking of Bob, he curled up his lips. It was rumored that a large part of the reason for Harvey's rapid downfall and conviction was that his brother Bob stabbed him in the back and submitted the more critical evidence.

He didn't know whether Bob was doing this to survive and avoid being affected by Harvey's scandal, or whether he really had a problem with Harvey and wanted to kill his family for justice.

None of this matters.

As long as Bob is willing to cooperate, there is a lot that can be exploited.

"You look like the villain in a movie when you smile."

Suddenly someone said from the other side.

Link's face darkened, and he looked back at the girl opposite, Kristen Stewart.

When I was chatting with Bob just now, I noticed someone next to me kept peeking at me. I thought it was a fan at first and didn't care. After Bob left, I realized it was her.

Kristen was wearing a white T-shirt, jeans, hot pants, and slippers, with medium-length golden brown hair hanging loose. Her expression was still indifferent, and paired with her fair and delicate cheeks, she looked like an emotionless vampire.

"Why are you here?"

“You can come here for coffee and I can’t?”

Kristen said expressionlessly.

"Where is the boy sitting in front of you? He looks familiar. Is he your boyfriend?"

"You are a grown man, are you such a gossip?"

Christine asked, holding her cheek and looking at him.

Link smiled softly and stirred the coffee with a small round spoon, letting the aroma of the coffee evaporate.

"Why have you gone quiet?"

Kristen turned the candy box over with her fingers.

"We haven't seen each other for a long time. We have both changed a lot. You are now a youth idol popular all over the world, and I am a notorious playboy. I don't know what your impression of me is now, so I don't know how to communicate with you. I won’t annoy you if I talk to you, after all, you don’t have a very good temper.”

"Huh, you are a Hollywood tycoon now, and I am just a small actor. Even if you hit me, I don't dare to be angry with you."

Kristen said with her lips curled up.

"I am communicating with you now as a friend, not a Hollywood tycoon. If I were a film company boss, I would lift your chin with my fingers and ask you to smile. It must be sweet. Can you do it? ?”

Link joked.

Kristine pursed her lips and stared at him maliciously.

"Your job at Lionsgate is to pick actresses' chins and force them to smile at you?"

"No, I don't have a job at Lionsgate, and I won't interfere with the crew's auditions. This approach is only for you."

Link shrugged.

"Scumbag!"

Kristen rolled her eyes at him, lay down on the coffee table, and said lazily, "The person sitting here just now is Bob Weinstein? Rumor has it that you are bitter enemies. How come you are drinking coffee together? Well, I'm just curious. Ask, you don’t have to answer.”

"There are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests. Palm Beach Pictures is doing well and the Weinstein brothers want to work with me."

Link said.

"I remembered. Recently, people in the circle are talking about Palm Beach Pictures' dark horse movies for two consecutive years. They say that you have found the right way to invest in movies. Many actors hope to participate in your next film. How do you do this? Will it become so powerful?"

Christine pressed her chin on her arms, raised her face and looked at him with bright eyes.

"Want to know? Smile for me first."

Link laughed.

Kristen looked at him expressionlessly, her cheeks cold, just like Director Allen said, she is suitable for disaster movies.

Link smiled softly and was about to tell her about film investment when a middle-aged man wearing a POLO shirt came from the aisle and looked at him with burning eyes.

"Mr. Baker, it's a great honor to see you here. I am an official screenwriter of the Writers Guild and a director. I have a new script. Can you please take a look?"

The middle-aged man asked nervously and eagerly.

"Can!"

——

More than half an hour later, Link left the cafe and got into a commercial car. Christine followed him and sat opposite him, staring at him with a surprised look.

Link handed her a bottle of ice water and said nothing. He leaned on his seat and read the script in his hand.

Kristine endured it for a while, and finally couldn't help asking:

"Link, do you really want to film this script?"

"Of course, it's a good story."

Link shrugged.

"Is this how you invest in movies? Just sit in a cafe and buy the script when someone comes to sell it. Can a movie made with this kind of script also make money?"

Christine asked.

"it should be OK."

Link nodded affirmatively.

The script in hand is called "The Vow", a love movie adapted from real events.

It tells the story of a newlywed couple whose happiness came to an abrupt end after a car accident. The wife fell into a coma, and the husband never left her to take care of her.

However, after the wife woke up, she lost five years of memory, including all memories related to her husband and marriage. She did not know how she fell in love with her current husband and married him, nor did she know what happened in the past.

The husband was also very painful after knowing that his wife had lost that memory, but he did not want to give up on his wife and confessed his love to her again, trying to slowly win back his lover's heart.

Link has seen this movie, which is one of Rachel McAdams' masterpieces. It is said to be one of the three highest-grossing movies in which she starred.

Rachel McAdams is a Canadian actress, starring in "Mean Girls", "The Notebook" and "Sherlock Holmes", all of which have grossed over 100 million in North American box office.

From this point of view, the box office of this movie should also be good.

In addition, based on the story of the script, he remembered an English song "What are words".

This song became popular in the tenth season of "American Idol" and became a hit song. But now that "American Idol" has been played in its eleventh season, he has not heard of this song. He searched several times on his mobile phone and found nothing. Same lyrics.

This made him wonder if the butterfly effect had wiped out the song.

"What are words" is the work of American singer Chris Medina. Medina was originally a waiter at Starbucks. He was engaged to his girlfriend in 2007. In 2009, his girlfriend suffered a car accident and suffered severe brain damage. After her physical recovery, her intelligence was only two age.

Medina still never abandons his girlfriend. In order to help her raise money for medical treatment, he signed up to participate in the tenth season of "American Idol" in 2009, and finally made it to the top 24. This song was also a competition song and became a smash hit.

But now there is no news.

Link didn't think about it at first, but after seeing the script of "The Oath", he suddenly remembered that song, and also remembered that someone had edited the movie into a MV for the song, and his memory became clearer, so he decided to invest.

Kristen didn't know what he was thinking. After seeing him read the script, she immediately called the Lionsgate Production Department and asked them to come over and buy the rights to adapt the script.

From seeing the script to buying it, he took less than twenty minutes to think about it. It seemed too hasty, so Christine was surprised by his approach.

"Are you so confident? The box office revenue ratio of the previous films "Scandal Project" and "Bridesmaids" was close to ten times. Can this one do the same?"

Christine continued to ask.

"As long as we can control costs, there should be no problem."

Link thought for a moment and said.

Kristine blinked and felt very incredible. Is it so easy to invest in a movie?

I met a random person in a coffee shop to sell a script, and without asking any questions, I just bought it after reading the synopsis of the story, and I was prepared to invest tens of millions in filming.

Can this kind of movie make money?

Kristen would never believe it, making a movie is definitely not that simple.

"Link, I bet you will lose money on this movie 100% of the time."

Christine said firmly.

"Oh? What are you betting on?"

Link put down the script, looked up from her white legs, past her slightly bulging breasts, to her fair and delicate cheeks, and asked with interest.

Kristine frowned and thought for a moment, and said that she would bet a thousand lollipops, and whoever lost would buy a thousand Mars lollipops.

"no problem."

Link tapped his fingers on the armrest of the seat and said, "When I was reading the script just now, a song suddenly came into my head. It seems to be a suitable theme song for this movie. Do you want to listen to it?"

"Are you serious?"

Christine asked in surprise.

Link nodded, picked up the guitar placed in the back seat, tuned a few strings, and started singing tinklingly.

Anywhere you are, I am near

No matter where you are, I will be with you

Anywhere you go, I'll be there

No matter where you go, I will go with you

Anytime you whisper my name, you'll see

Whenever you whisper my name, you will see

How every single promise I keep

How I keep every promise I make to you

Cause what kind of guy would I be

What kind of man would I be if I left when you needed me most?

If I was to leave when you need me most

Kristine looked at him quietly, her lips slightly opened, and she was very shocked.

This song is very nice, and the general theme of the lyrics is similar to the plot of the script. It seems like a song tailor-made for this script.

Did Link really just come up with this?

Is this guy too powerful?

She blinked her eyelashes and looked at the guy opposite him. He had a playboy face, but he had clean, deep blue eyes and angular cheeks.

He is more masculine and resolute than Leonardo, Orlando Bloom, and more masculine. He also has more artistic temperament than Henry Cavill, who has become popular in recent years. He appears more refined and deceptive.

Kristen really didn't want to stare at him, but every time she lowered her head, her attention would involuntarily return to his face and body in less than two seconds.

At this time, Link was wearing a wide light blue shirt and ordinary jeans. He had a strong and slender figure. He crossed his legs and held the guitar while playing and singing. His voice was clear and magnetic, paired with a moving melody, as if it was scratching his ears. itch.

Christine shook her head and suddenly understood why Emma and those stupid women would like Link even though they knew he was a scumbag. The main reason was that he was too charming and his appearance was very deceptive. It was often easy to forget when they saw him. The fact that he was a playboy.

What are words

what is an oath

If they're only for good times

If you only keep it when you are rich

Then they done

Turn into clouds in times of trouble

When it's love

Dang!

At this point, Link held down the strings and stopped, instead of continuing to sing.

"Why don't you sing?"

Kristen was stunned for a moment, blinked and asked.

“I didn’t think about how to sing it later.”

Link shrugged.

"This is a song you just wrote. How can you write such a beautiful song after just reading the script once?"

Christine asked.

"I'm not sure if I wrote it. I was just reading the script and suddenly thought of such a song. Maybe it's an old song. Have you heard of it?"

Link said.

"No!"

"Then I need to check it out to see if there are any similar old songs. If not, I will sing it to you after I finish writing it."

Link put down his guitar and took a sip of mineral water.

Christine looked at him. She had seen Link hastily take the script of "The Oath" and decided to invest in the filming. She felt that the film would probably lose money. After listening to his song, she was a little unsure.

Because Link is an amazing person.

He boxed to become an Olympic champion and world boxing champion, sang to become a top singer, worked as an actor and became the boss of Lionsgate Pictures in less than two years, and just now he could write a very touching song just by looking at a script.

For a guy like him, if he has the confidence to make this movie well, the probability of success will be very high.

"Kristen, I'm going to train at the Muscle Beach Boxing Gym. Where are you going?"

Link asked, looking out the car window.

"I have no plans for the afternoon, can I go to the boxing gym with you?"

Kristen said while shaking her slender legs.

Link nodded and asked Bob to drive directly to the Muscle Beach training ground.
