Hollywood Director 1992

“Cut!”

Link didn't feel much about the changes in Hollywood. He was still filming "The Butterfly Effect" with the crew in Vancouver.

Link watched the scene again, called Leonardo over, and gave him a few pointers, telling him to be more flexible in his performance, to relax when he should relax, and to tighten up when he should be tense, and not to act too stiffly.

The reason Leonardo was chosen as the male lead in this film was because he was more handsome and twenty years old this year, which was the right age.

In addition, Little Li Zi was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor at the beginning of the year for "What's Eating Gilbert Grape", and his acting skills were also more reliable.

Compared with the original protagonist Ashton Kutcher, his performance was even better.

“Leon, if you want to play Evan well, you must first know that the character's persona is not fixed. Every time you travel back in time, it will bring new changes to him. These changes include appearance and emotions, and their impact on him is gradually superimposed.

Now is the first time before time travel. Evan is a sunny and cheerful big boy. You need to pay attention to this when you perform, and gradually increase the changes during the filming process, then you can truly play this role well.”

“Director, I understand.”

Leonardo grinned, smiling very brightly.

“Okay, continue filming.”

The actors returned to the set, the clapperboard was hit, and filming continued.

This episode is about the male protagonist Evan growing up, entering university to study, excelling in all subjects, living a very happy life, and not having any amnesia symptoms for seven years.

Once, during a date in the dormitory, the date pulled a box from under his bed, which contained his past diaries. While reading the diary, Evan suddenly traveled to the past.

“Do you want a beer?”

In the dormitory, Evan squatted in front of the small refrigerator and asked.

“Yes!”

The girl searched in the drawer by his bed and then looked under the bed, “Do you have any fragrances or scented candles here?”

While looking for something, the girl pulled out a cardboard box filled with many diaries.

“Oh, this won’t work.”

Evan turned around and saw the girl flipping through the diary.

“Usually, boys stuff pornographic videotapes under their beds. You put diaries?”

The girl sat on the bed and smiled.

“Yes, this is my diary. I've been keeping a diary since I was seven years old.”

“Wow!”

The girl picked up a diary, “Read a paragraph to me.”

Evan hesitated for a moment and smiled, “You can’t read it for nothing. Let's make a deal.”

The girl smiled.

“Cut!”

Link looked at the scene and called Jennifer Lopez, the actress playing the college student, to direct the scene.

Jennifer Lopez is 24 years old this year, a Puerto Rican beauty with wheat-colored skin, a curvy figure, full and sexy. Currently, she is still a new actress, not the Latin queen she would become later.

“Jennifer, Sarah, the character you play, is a college student who has a certain affection for Evan and plans to have a long-term relationship with him. Don't be too flirtatious when you interact with him. You only need to show some curiosity and appreciation. Pay attention to moderation when you perform.”

“Director, I understand.”

Jennifer Lopez bit her lip, looking very nervous.

“Relax, I don't eat people.”

Jennifer Lopez chuckled.

“That's it, go get ready.”

Link waved his hand and continued to call the crew to film. This time, Jennifer Lopez performed much better, and a group of shots passed after only two takes.

At noon, when the crew was resting, Link received a call from Michael Rison in Los Angeles in the office.

Michael talked about the recent rumors in Hollywood that the seven major film companies and several independent production companies were preparing to jointly suppress Guess Pictures.

Link asked whether the seven major film companies had taken any actions against Guess Pictures recently.

Michael Rison said that he had not found anything for the time being, but he did not rule out that the seven major film companies had already taken action, but Guess Pictures had not noticed it.

Link asked Michael to continue to pay attention to the movements of the seven major film companies.

If any company shows hostility towards Guess Pictures, it must make a strong counterattack.

Even if Guess Pictures' current size cannot threaten the seven major film companies, it must never show weakness and not let people think it is easy to bully.

Michael Rison said he knew.

Link thought for a while and called Danny DeVito, asking him to submit the projects "Hachi: A Dog's Tale", "The Runaway Bride", and "Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls" to Columbia Pictures, Universal Pictures, Paramount Pictures, Disney, Warner Bros., 20th Century Fox, and MGM Pictures, and ask the seven companies whether they are interested in cooperation.

He wanted to test whether the seven major film companies were really preparing to jointly suppress Guess Pictures.

If the situation is true, Guess Pictures must prepare in advance to prevent taking action too slowly and being passively beaten.

“Link, do you want coffee!”

“Thank you!”

Renée Zellweger put the coffee on the desk.

Renée is the female lead of this film. She was chosen for this role because she has the temperament of a girl next door, good acting skills, and is hardworking enough.

Also, although her appearance and figure are also relatively outstanding, she is not as aggressive as Monica and Jennifer, which is more in line with the setting of the heroine.

“Renée, you don’t have many scenes this week. You don’t have to stay with the crew all the time. You can go do other work first. When it’s time for your scenes, I’ll have the assistant call you.”

“I don’t have any other arrangements recently. My main job is to play the role of Kelly well. Of course, if you mind me being too close to you, I can move further away.”

Renée Zellweger smiled slightly. The girl had golden hair draped over her shoulders, and her cheeks turned red because of the heat. She was wearing a white artistic T-shirt and blue hot pants, revealing a section of slender white waist, with the unique sexiness and vitality of a young girl.

“I don’t mind. Without you here, who would give me such fragrant coffee.”

Link smiled.

“Is it just coffee? I can do other things for you, anything, as long as you want.”

Renée said seriously.

“Yes, you are very good.”

Link pinched her soft cheek and continued to call Jack Brennan, the investment director of Shining Capital, asking him to acquire Disney stock from the stock market, first acquiring about 2%.

Currently, internal struggles within Walt Disney are intensifying. Chairman Frank Wells and CEO Michael Eisner, and Walt Disney Animation Studios Chairman Jeffrey Katzenberg, are fighting for power and profit, and the infighting continues.

Discord within Disney's senior management has led to poor box office results in recent years. Disney's stock price has fallen from its peak of $26 billion in 1992 to the current $19.5 billion.

The current period is the low point of Walt Disney, and it is also a good time to invest.

In the future, the market value of the Disney company will be as high as two to three trillion US dollars. It is the strongest film and entertainment company in Hollywood. It is very cost-effective to acquire Disney shares now.

He plans to gradually buy about 10% of Disney's shares in the next ten years to become a major shareholder of the Disney company, further control the Disney board of directors, and then influence Hollywood through Disney, and even control the Hollywood film industry.

Acquiring 1% of Disney's shares requires about three to four hundred million US dollars, and this fund can be borrowed from the bank first.

Shining Capital owns shares in Microsoft, Cisco, and UTA, Marvel, and other companies. The value of these stocks is fifteen to sixteen billion, and borrowing three to four hundred million from the bank is not a big problem.

While he was talking about business, Renée Zellweger sat across from the desk, propping up her cheeks, watching him without blinking.

Listening to him talking about hundreds of millions of dollars of investment, as relaxed and casual as buying coffee, her heartbeat and breathing couldn't help but speed up, and her face became even redder.

She glanced at the door, pursed her lips, and tucked her scattered long hair back, slowly squatting in front of the chair.

Link chuckled, rubbed the girl's hair, and continued to make a phone call.
