Hollywood Director 1992

"Who did you choose for the female lead?"

Link steered away from the topic of his date with Diane Lane, switching the conversation back to work.

"Do you know Joan Allen? She used to be a Broadway actress and has won a Tony Award. She's a brilliant actress, and her looks and temperament are quite strong, making her suitable for playing a strong-willed wife."

Jodie Foster handed him a file.

Joan Allen is 39 years old this year. She debuted on Broadway in 1980 and has won the highest awards in American drama and musicals, the 'Tony Award,' twice. In 1985, she went to Hollywood to make movies, playing minor roles in several films. She doesn't have much fame yet.

After looking at the information, Link also recognized this actress, the original female lead in 'Hachi: A Dog's Tale.' Although she's not famous now, she later became popular through films like 'Nixon,' 'Face/Off,' and 'The Bourne Supremacy,' becoming a relatively well-known supporting actress in Hollywood.

"Looking for so long? Don't tell me you're not even letting older women like Joan go?"

Jodie Foster waved her hand in front of him, with a hint of playful mischief on her face.

Link looked at her, really wanting to pin her down on the coffee table and spank her.

"Who are you casting for the role of the daughter, Andy?"

"Why are you asking? Do you want to shove your girlfriend into the cast? I'm afraid that won't work. We need to choose the actress playing the daughter based on the looks of the male and female leads. You can't just randomly insert someone."

"Did I say I wanted to insert someone? I'm the film's producer; can't I even ask?"

"Okay, it's Cameron Diaz. She did a good job in 'The Mask,' and she's very beautiful. Wait a minute, 'The Mask' is a Guessing Game Pictures movie, and she's the female lead in that movie, so she's also one of your women?! Link, you bastard, you're going too far. You're going after every single woman in Hollywood, aren't you?"

Jodie Foster said disdainfully.

Link shook his head. "I don't know about other women, but I definitely won't let you go."

"Hmph, don't even think about it. I'll never give you a chance."

Jodie Foster crossed her arms, striking a defensive pose.

"Got some time? How about we go see a movie together?"

"You want to use this kind of trick to pick me up? It's useless. I'm not falling for it."

Jodie Foster snorted.

"If you're scared, you can always refuse."

"Who's scared? I wouldn't be afraid to watch even a porno."

Jodie Foster stood up.

Link smiled and invited her to the movie theater across the street to watch the drama 'Disclosure,' which was released this week.

The male and female leads of the film are Michael Douglas and Demi Moore. It tells the story of a male subordinate who fights back after being sexually harassed by his female superior. It's a somewhat ambiguous but serious movie.

While watching the movie, Jodie Foster praised Demi Moore for being so sexy, saying she really wanted to sleep with her, and asked him if he wanted to too.

Link was speechless. Lesbians think differently. Using this kind of method to deal with her definitely wouldn't work.

After accompanying Jodie Foster to watch a movie, Link took advantage of his free time to accompany Winona Ryder, Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Lopez, and others to watch movies.

After sleeping with him, Winona Ryder had a little less of her melancholic aura, but she was still quite artistic. When she wasn't filming, she would often call him to tell him about her mood, and sometimes she would even write love poems and ask him to celebrate anniversaries.

Angelina Jolie, on the other hand, paid more attention to physical experiences. Since last time, Angelina Jolie often asked him out on dates.

As for Jennifer Lopez, with his help, Jennifer Lopez is currently undergoing training at the UTA talent agency, preparing to enter the music scene, developing both her acting and singing careers in the future.

Link also took the time to sit in Gong Li's apartment, chatting with her about movies, and also asking her to look at scripts more often. If she found a suitable script or role, he could arrange for Guessing Game Pictures to invest.

"Link, you're letting me choose the scripts. Aren't you worried about investment failure?"

Gong Li sat on a wicker chair, her long black hair draped over her shoulders, wearing a white T-shirt and blue joggers, her full bust and hip curves still very prominent.

Link said, "Don't worry. As long as the movie quality is good and the word-of-mouth is good, it doesn't matter if the box office is a little worse. Guessing Game Pictures has many blockbuster movies every year, and not every one needs to make money."

"You're really rich and generous. I heard that Guessing Game Pictures' total box office for this year's movies has exceeded $700 million, which is even stronger than the Big Seven studios. Link, congratulations. You are the pride of us Chinese."

Gong Li looked at him with a smile.

"I don't deserve it. I've only made a little achievement, and it's not something to be proud of."

"Don't be modest. In the past, Hollywood discriminated against Chinese actors. I heard that some people made discriminatory remarks against Chinese people in public, but now they don't dare anymore because they are very wary of your existence. You have changed the situation of Chinese people in Hollywood. It is no exaggeration to say that you are the pride of the Chinese."

Gong Li said seriously.

These were the comments she heard after contacting the Chinese actor circle in Hollywood. Everyone said that after Link became a big boss, Chinese filmmakers were more valued.

During her time in Hollywood, she did feel that those crews and companies were not as unconcerned about Chinese actors as they used to be.

For example, she went to the Big Seven studios a few days ago to participate in role auditions. Even if she didn't pass, the crew would politely tell her the reason. It is said that Chinese actors didn't have this treatment before, and sometimes they would even be discriminated against.

And all of these changes happened after Link became a big shot in Hollywood.

All Chinese people working hard in Hollywood are beneficiaries.

"Okay, I accept your praise."

Link shrugged.

Gong Li smiled slightly, looked at her watch, and said, "Have you eaten? If you don't mind my simple food, you can eat here."

"You can cook?"

"Which Chinese woman can't cook? Wait a moment."

Gong Li put on her slippers and went to the kitchen to busy herself. Link sat in the living room reading a magazine. After a few minutes, a clanging sound suddenly came from the kitchen. He put down the magazine and went to the kitchen.

He saw a pile of broken plates and bowls on the ground. Gong Li was squatting on the ground, holding her right index finger with her left hand. A few drops of blood dripped on the white porcelain shards, and her expression was a little frustrated.

Gong Li looked back at him standing at the door and said awkwardly, "I accidentally slipped. Wait a moment, the food will be ready soon."

Link shook his head, pulled her to the living room to bandage her wound. Fortunately, the wound was not big. After disinfecting it with disinfectant and applying a bandage, it would be fine in a few days.

After helping her bandage it, Link put on her apron and went to the kitchen to make four dishes and a soup. They were home-style dishes, not as good as those in a restaurant, but they were still delicious and visually appealing.

"Link, a great director like you can also cook? And you cook so well? I now understand why so many women like you. You are not only excellent, but also very gentle. It's hard for any woman to resist your charm."

Gong Li looked at Link across the table and smiled.

"It's just a meal, it's nothing."

"No, there are not many men who can cook, and you are so amazing and can still cook. In the eyes of us women, a man like you is a rare treasure."

Gong Li stared at his handsome face and smiled.

（No mistake, one first one hair one inside one content one in one look!）

"Okay, I'll take it as you're praising me. But this time you're injured, so you won't have the chance to taste your own cooking. I hope I can next time."

Link ladled a bowl of soup and handed it to her.

"No problem, I will definitely be careful not to cut my hand next time."

Gong Li shook her injured finger.

The two ate, drank, and chatted.

The main purpose of his trip was to see if Gong Li needed any help. If Gong Li needed help, he wouldn't mind lending a helping hand.

It's just that Gong Li's personality is relatively independent. Except for needing his help at work, she insists on being self-sufficient in life and does not accept his financial assistance.

After the meal, Link said goodbye and left. Gong Li sent him to the door. When she returned to the apartment, she heard the phone ringing in the living room. She walked over and answered the phone. The person calling was Director Zhang.

"How did you know my phone number here?"

Gong Li frowned. She only told her family and a few friends her phone number in Los Angeles.

"I found out. Xiao Li, are you doing well in Los Angeles? When are you coming back?"

Director Zhang asked.

"Why are you asking this? After filming 'Shanghai Triad', we agreed to break up completely. Why are you still calling?"

"Xiao Li, don't be like this. Give me some more time, and I will definitely give you an explanation."

"I gave you three years. You still want me to give you time. Don't you think..."

While she was talking, Gong Li suddenly saw a coat hanging on the coat rack. It was Link's coat. Gong Li put down the phone, took Link's coat to the window, and shouted, 'Link, your coat!' But Link didn't hear her and drove away.

Gong Li touched the pocket of the coat and saw that there was nothing valuable in it, so she hung it back on the rack.

"Gong Li, I heard you calling Link. Is it that Link? Why is Link's coat at your house?"

Director Zhang asked anxiously on the phone.

Gong Li sat back on the sofa, looked at her bandaged finger, and smiled, "The question you asked is ridiculous. I came to America to seek refuge with Link and live in his apartment. Isn't it normal for his clothes to be in my house?"

"You! Did you sleep with him?!"

Director Zhang shouted through gritted teeth.

Gong Li sneered, "Would you believe me if I said no?"

"I... I believe you."

"Too late. Although Link is Chinese, he is relatively open-minded in this regard. We slept together after our first meeting. Now we have slept together more than ten times. If Link wasn't busy filming and didn't have time to spend the night here, I would have spent more time with him. He was free today, so he came to my place. I made him four dishes and a soup. We drank some wine, and then we did it once, but he was busy with work and left in a hurry after receiving a call, even forgetting to put on his coat."

Creak, creak ~

The sound of grinding teeth came from the phone.

"Gong Li, don't you know he is a scumbag? Don't you know he has many women?"

"I know."

"If you know, why do you still sleep with him? Doing so is ruining yourself."

"I'm willing to! Link is a billionaire, a world-class director, and he is only 22 years old this year. I am 29 years old this year. He doesn't mind that I am old and is willing to accept me and help me develop in Hollywood. It is right for me to repay him with my body. I am willing.

In addition, Link is not a scumbag. He is gentle, considerate, and knows how to take care of people. I was a little concerned when I first slept with him, but now I have completely accepted him. No matter how many women he has, I am willing to sleep with him."

"Shut up! Shut up! Gong Li, you are so disappointing."

Director Zhang shouted in exasperation, his voice sounding a little broken through the microphone.

Gong Li smiled coldly, hung up the phone, picked up the script on the table, and started reading.
