Hollywood Director 1992

Hawaii.

Oahu is the third largest island in the Hawaiian archipelago and home to Honolulu, the political, cultural, economic, and transportation center of Hawaii.

Here, there are blue skies, white clouds, azure waves, beautiful peaks, and numerous scenic beaches. The larger beaches have been developed into public beaches, attracting tourists to visit.

Smaller beaches have been bought by the wealthy and turned into luxury estates.

Link is one of the wealthy people here.

His beach is located in southwestern Honolulu, covering an area of approximately 4.2 hectares, including a seaside manor, two piers, 2.1 hectares of prime beach, and three ball courts, etc., priced at $32 million.

The beach is located within a bay, shaped like a narrow crescent. The sand is white and fine. At night, standing on the distant reef and looking out, the beach resembles a crescent moon, hence it is also known as Moon Bay Beach.

Link did not rename the beach after buying it.

Woo ~ ~

In the morning, the waters of Moon Bay are sunny, with blue skies and white clouds. The temperature is neither hot nor dry. Azure waves gently lap against the stern of the yacht, quickly pushing it towards the shore.

Sam Haskell and Richard Fox sat on the yacht, gazing at the beach from the deck. Surrounding it were large palm groves and tropical fruit plantations. The vegetation was lush in summer, with abundant fruits hanging on many branches.

The villa is located behind the botanical garden and consists of six villas and scenic houses with Hawaiian characteristics, as well as more than twenty interconnected peaked pavilions. The pavilions stretch from the beach pier to the distant towering cliffs, interspersed with several tall tropical trees, making it look spectacular.

Around the beach, there are also some locals active, but they are all wearing the same clothes, looking more like servants of the villa, shuttling through the estate, busy with their respective work.

"Link really knows how to enjoy life."

Sam Haskell exclaimed.

Richard Fox came back to his senses and couldn't help but smile, agreeing with Sam's point of view.

Media reports said that after making money, Link spent a huge sum of money to buy the top luxury villa in Beverly Hills, spending tens of millions of dollars.

And this estate in Hawaii is even larger, located in the scenic area of Oahu, less than three kilometers from the capital Honolulu, so the price is probably not cheap.

Link has spent hundreds of millions of dollars just on purchasing real estate, which is rare even among the top wealthy people in the United States.

However, considering that Link is 22 years old and has a net worth of nearly $2 billion, his movies continue to sell well, and his company continues to make money, it is not excessive for him to spend money like this.

"Gentlemen, we have arrived. Please disembark here!"

The yacht arrived at the pier, and the villa butler reminded them.

Sam Haskell and Richard Fox stepped off the yacht, got into a convertible car, and arrived on the beach. After four or five minutes, the car stopped, and he got out and walked along the corridor in the middle of the pavilion towards the villa area.

"Ah, Link, be gentle, my chest hurts."

"Haha, Link, use more force! Jennifer likes you to slam dunk her with your greatest strength."

"Renee, stop it!"

As they were walking, they heard a burst of playful laughter not far away. The two turned their heads and looked at the beach next to the palm grove. On the sunny beach, rows of tall palm trees supported some shade with their lush branches. Several scantily clad men and women were playing volleyball on the middle of the beach.

To be specific, it was Link and four hot and sexy women.

Sam Haskell squinted his eyes and glanced over, recognizing three of them: Sandra Bullock, who had become popular with "Speed" not long ago, Renée Zellweger, the heroine of "The Blair Witch Project," and Julianne Moore, the second female lead in "The Hand That Rocks the Cradle."

These three are all acquaintances.

Only that Latina beauty in the black bikini was relatively unfamiliar. The woman was over 170 cm tall, with tan skin, a slender waist, and long legs. When she jumped up to hit the ball, the muscles in her calves and thighs tightened, and the outline of her buttocks became more翘, looking very sexy.

She also shouted the loudest when playing, having a great time, like a beautiful wild horse.

"Gentlemen, this way, please."

The villa butler reminded them.

Sam Haskell and Richard Fox quickly came back to their senses and continued to move forward, but they couldn't help but look back at the beach volleyball court, looking at the five passionate figures.

Sam Haskell once again lamented that Link really knew how to enjoy life. When on vacation, he not only had a beautiful beach and a luxury villa, but also four sexy beauties to accompany him. Life was too good.

Richard Fox's heart was also surging. He recognized those people on the court and had even had contact with them at work.

As far as he knew, Sandra Bullock and Julianne Moore were the kind of very serious and stable women in the industry. Although they had boyfriends, their private lives were not that chaotic, nor were they the kind of women who would be easily tempted.

Now, they were appearing in Link's private villa at the same time, and with other women, playing ball with Link.

This made him very surprised and very envious of Link's luck with women.

After arriving at the villa, under the arrangement of the butler, the two entered the bathroom to bathe. After coming out, they put on local clothes under the service of the servants.

The villa prepared three sets of clothes for the two, some long and some short, in three colors, for the guests to choose from.

Sam Haskell changed into a set of blue beach shirt and shorts, and Richard Fox changed into khaki long shirt and trousers.

After bathing, the two came to the viewing room near the sea to rest.

The servants brought local delicacies for the two, mainly bread, fruit, and hot soup, to fill their stomachs.

While eating, Link strode over, wearing a loose shirt and shorts. His hair was still not long, black and shiny, but he hadn't seen him for two weeks, and his skin was darker, tanned by the sun, and the pupils of his eyes were brighter, reflecting blackly, as if he had hidden the sun, moon, and stars of Hawaii in his deep eyes.

"Haha, Sam, Mr. Fox, welcome to my humble abode."

Link strode in, shaking hands with Richard Fox with a smile.

There is no mistake, one first, one hair, one inside, one appearance, one in, one look, one look!

"Link, living here, do you still think of Los Angeles?"

Sam Haskell pointed to the villa, beach, and turquoise sea outside the viewing room. Looking out from the yacht, he only thought that the appearance and layout of the building were very beautiful. After being there in person, the feeling was even more profound.

"This place is so beautiful, more luxurious than the palaces of many kings. If I were to live here, I might not think of any other place."

"If you like it, stay a few more days. You can also bring your family here for vacation when you have time in the future. I don't spend more than a month here every year, and the rest of the time it's empty."

Link said with a smile.

"Haha, okay, then I won't be polite."

Sam Haskell said with a smile.

The servant brought Link a portion of food, also bread, fruit, and seafood chowder.

Link broke open the bread, dipped it in the chowder, and chatted while eating.

Richard Fox first congratulated Link on the big sales of his new movie, congratulating Guess Pictures on achieving brilliant results during the summer season, and also put forward the purpose of coming here—

Inviting him to be the director of the "Batman" sequel.

The conditions offered by Warner Bros. were that the basic salary was $10 million, and if the North American box office exceeded $100 million, he would be given a 5% box office split.

This was the condition that Link offered when he cooperated with Columbia Pictures, and Warner Bros. Pictures also gave it in this way.

This matter had originally been discussed on the phone, but Link refused, citing the reason that he would be filming a new movie in the second half of the year and did not have time to film other movies.

Richard Fox did not give up.

After President Miggs Gaus proposed inviting Link to direct the "Batman" sequel, Richard Fox returned to the production department and convened a meeting of the project's producers to focus on discussing the feasibility of inviting Link to direct the "Batman" sequel.

After discussion, they found that Link was indeed a very suitable candidate.

First of all, Link is currently the most successful commercial film director in Hollywood. From "Buried" to "Seven Deadly Sins," the films he directed have not only not lost money, but have also all sold well, which is a guarantee of box office.

Secondly, the story of the Batman sequel has many similarities with "Seven Deadly Sins."

For example, they are both dark-style crime films, the struggle between heroes and villains; the setting of the villain is not much different, an extremist with mental illness, using personal abilities to retaliate against society, and one more thing, the background of the "Seven Deadly Sins" story is set in New York, indicating that Link is good at filming urban crime-type movies.

Finally, Link is a top director, and Batman is a popular IP. Letting Link direct the Batman sequel is a strong alliance. Whether it is Link's fans or Batman fans, they will probably be very excited and look forward to the release of this movie after hearing this news.

In summary, inviting Link to direct the "Batman" sequel is also Warner Bros. Pictures' best choice for this project.

For this reason, Richard Fox contacted Link's agent, Sam Haskell, and asked him to act as an intermediary to help contact Link and ask what requirements Link had. As long as the requirements were not too excessive, they could be discussed.
