Hollywood Director 1992

"What should we do? Should we counterattack?" Robert Downey Jr. asked, his face dark.

"How do we counterattack? The Los Angeles Times conducted over 2,000 surveys to reach this conclusion. It's hard to overturn. Besides, we saw 'The Witch,' and it really wasn't that great. This shows we agree with highly educated viewers. Less educated viewers probably like this kind of movie more."

Kiefer Sutherland said.

"I'm not talking about the newspaper, I'm talking about Link."

"Link? What does this have to do with him?" David Duchovny asked.

"Of course, it has a lot to do with him. I said before that 'The Witch' completely copied the production and marketing model of 'Paranormal Activity.' Now that 'The Witch' is making money, Link isn't getting any royalties. He must be very unhappy.

If he's unhappy, he'll find a way to suppress the movie. Also, seeing us publicly support 'The Witch' will make him even more unhappy. So, he used the Los Angeles Times to publish this survey report, both to suppress 'The Witch' and to make us look bad. Look at the content of this article; he really succeeded."

Robert Downey Jr. frowned, his tone heavy.

"Is that how it is?"

"What a double whammy! Link is so cunning."

Kiefer Sutherland and David Duchovny slapped their thighs, both angry and frustrated.

"Then what should we do?"

"Yes, Downey, you're the smartest. Quickly think of a way to counterattack Link and make him lose face too."

Robert Downey Jr. stroked the stubble on his chin and thought for a while, but couldn't come up with a good idea. He tactfully told them that he needed more time to think and would give them an answer tomorrow.

After the two left, Robert Downey Jr. immediately called his agent, Jamie Rich, and asked him to come up with a good way to resolve the current public opinion crisis. He absolutely couldn't let fans mistakenly think he wasn't cultured.

Jamie Rich reluctantly agreed and advised Downey to focus more on promoting his new movie and not stare at Link all day. He and the company would handle this matter.

Robert Downey Jr. impatiently said he knew, he knew.

But before they could start any public relations campaign to save Robert Downey Jr.'s reputation...

The Hollywood Reporter dropped a bombshell—according to reliable sources, Blair Witch's distributor, Triangle Entertainment, had been acquired by Guess Who Productions in February.

That is to say, 'The Witch' is a movie distributed by a company under Guess Who Productions.

From this point of view, Link is very likely the director of this movie, as well as the person in charge of promotion and distribution.

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"

Richard Gere clenched his fists, trembling with anger.

He really hoped this was fake news, but the acquisition of Triangle Entertainment by Guess Who Productions had been confirmed by former Triangle Entertainment shareholders and employees: Guess Who Productions started contacting Triangle Entertainment at the end of last year to discuss the acquisition. After several rounds of negotiations, the two parties reached an agreement at the beginning of the year. Triangle Entertainment became the distribution company of Guess Who Productions and was responsible for the distribution of 'The Witch'.

However, the relevant news was deliberately concealed by Guess Who Productions and has not been made public yet.

Former Triangle Entertainment employees spoke with certainty, and it didn't seem fake at all.

What made Richard Gere even more embarrassed was that The Hollywood Reporter detailed Link's itinerary last year, finding that Link had not appeared in public view for eight days in early November last year. During those eight days, there was plenty of time to film 'The Blair Witch'.

The Hollywood Reporter also reprinted a local report from Illinois, stating that Link had appeared there in November last year, along with Sofia Coppola.

At the same time, in September and October last year, Link and Sofia Coppola often appeared together, and Sofia Coppola also appeared at Guess Who Productions many times.

From the above points, it can be seen that this movie is very likely a work co-directed by Link and Sofia Coppola.

"Damn it! You all deserve to die!"

Richard Gere picked up the ashtray and smashed it angrily on the ground.

Thinking that he had once praised Link's movie, he couldn't wait to crawl into a crack in the ground.

"Richard, you scared me."

Cindy Crawford patted her ample chest and complained.

"Hmph!"

Richard Gere's expression was ferocious, and he snorted coldly before leaving the villa.

"Is this real?!"

"Damn Link, we've been fooled again."

Robert Downey Jr., Kiefer Sutherland, Dustin Hoffman, and others were so angry when they saw this investigative article that their expressions were distorted and unrecognizable.

Originally, they wanted to use 'The Blair Witch' to attack Link, so that Link couldn't monopolize the benefits, but they didn't expect that this movie was also made by Link, and 'The Blair Witch' was a movie of Guess Who Productions.

They also helped Link promote the movie and helped Link make money.

"This is really hateful."

Robert Downey Jr. waved his fist and slammed it hard against the wall, not feeling relieved even after breaking his fist.

Kiefer Sutherland said with a dark face, "Someone revealed that Ed Myrick joined Guess Who Productions at the end of last year and served as an assistant in the production department. Ed Myrick is very likely a shield set up by Link, so the director of this movie is very likely Link. We've been fooled."

"So that's how it is. Link is a celebrity. If he signs as the director, everyone will know at a glance that 'The Blair Witch' is a scam and won't go to the cinema to watch it. If it's replaced with Ed Myrick, this problem won't exist. This guy is too cunning."

David Duchovny said.

"Link, you bastard, he cheated us and also cheated the audience out of more than 100 million US dollars."

Robert Downey Jr. waved his fist and roared to the sky.

"Can we sue him for fraud?"

Kiefer Sutherland said.

"Yes, we can sue him for fraud."

Robert Downey Jr. pounced on the phone, picked it up, and called a lawyer to ask if he could use this to sue Link, demanding that he compensate the audience for economic losses, and it would be best to send him to prison.

The lawyer said no, firstly, there is no conclusive evidence to prove that Link is related to this movie, nor can it be proved that Ed Myrick is not related to this movie.

Secondly, Ed Myrick is a person from Guess Who Productions. During the filming of 'The Blair Witch', as long as he participated in the filming of the movie, even if he only touched the camera, this movie is related to him.

In addition, the constitution stipulates that citizens have the freedom to create. Even if this movie was made by Link, he is unwilling to sign his name, and he can not sign his name, or even use a pseudonym. This is not illegal or against the rules.

"Damn it! Damn it!!"

Robert Downey Jr. hung up the phone angrily.

Kiefer Sutherland and David Duchovny were also angry and cursed Link for being despicable and shameless when they heard that they couldn't sue Link for fraud.

"Haha, so interesting."

Julia Roberts couldn't help laughing as she watched the three change their faces.

Before reading the newspaper, they were planning to contact Triangle Entertainment and director Ed Myrick to discuss jointly hyping 'The Blair Witch' and then collecting some benefits from it afterward.

But they didn't expect that Triangle Entertainment had already been acquired by Guess Who Productions, and 'The Blair Witch' was Link's movie. They had always regarded Link as an opponent, but they helped Link promote the movie and helped Link make a lot of money.

It's very interesting to think about this.

"Shut up!"

Robert Downey Jr. and Kiefer Sutherland roared at Julia Roberts together.

"Link made another movie that sold well, gaining both fame and fortune, while you got nothing and can only sulk here. Haha, so interesting."

Julia Roberts smiled, picked up her bag, and left the villa without looking back.
