Hollywood Director 1992

#277 - Nicole Kidman chooses to take the initiative

After a few days of rest, Link returned to the company to busily work.

As the end of the year approached, various departments of the company began to conduct work summaries, arrange the work for the coming year, distribute year-end bonuses, arrange holidays, and so on—a whole bunch of things.

In addition, "Good Will Hunting" was about to be released, and he also had to take time to oversee the movie's publicity work.

This movie received high praise during the test screenings and has great box office potential.

Link requested that the distribution and promotion department increase publicity efforts and not be too stingy with funds, especially during the winter break when there are many blockbusters; if this movie wants to gain sufficient exposure in the media, it must be willing to spend money on promotion.

After two weeks of promotion, "Good Will Hunting" gained some fame among the many movies in the winter break season.

On Friday, "Good Will Hunting" held its premiere ceremony at the Hollywood and Highland theater. Link, Monica Bellucci, Jennifer Connelly, Sofia Coppola, and others attended to support the film.

Link didn't interfere much with this movie. From the director to the actors, it was almost the original cast, and the main content and plot of the movie were similar to the original version.

After the movie ended, the audience applauded continuously, with the applause lasting more than 5 minutes. Matt Damon's performance in the movie was also praised by the filmmakers present.

"It seems Guess Pictures has produced another good movie."

Sofia said, clapping her hands.

"Yes, before 'Final Destination,' the movies produced by Guess Pictures were criticized and questioned by too many people, but now, anything produced by Guess Pictures is guaranteed to be excellent."

This year, Guess Pictures has released 9 movies, from the first "Fargo" to the last "Good Will Hunting." Although the box office results of "Fargo," "Eat Drink Man Woman," and "Before Sunrise" were average, the quality of the movies was good, and they received praise from many film critics after their release.

The box office results of the other movies were all good. Not counting "Good Will Hunting" and "Pulp Fiction," there are already four movies with North American box office earnings exceeding 100 million.

This year's movies produced by Guess Pictures can be described as a double harvest of both critical acclaim and box office success.

"Link, how can you be so amazing? Not only can you make movies, but you're also so great in other aspects?"

Sofia looked at him with admiration in her eyes.

Monica Bellucci also held his arm tightly, with a gentle smile on her face.

"Of course, it's because you support me. It's your support that makes me more and more excellent."

Link said with a smile, putting his arms around their waists.

"So we're that important?"

Monica looked up and smiled.

"Of course!"

Link lowered his head and kissed Monica's smooth cheek. Sofia pointed to her cheek, and Link also kissed her cheek.

"Hmph! This bastard is embracing women left and right, not paying attention to his influence at all."

In the back row of the audience, Nicole Kidman saw Link hugging Monica, with Sofia, Jennifer Connelly, Renée Zellweger, and others standing beside him. Seeing them talking and laughing, she couldn't help but feel a little unhappy, as if something of her own had been taken away by others.

"In the past two years, the media often reported their scandals, saying that they were all Link's girlfriends. Now, this kind of news is no longer fresh, so Link doesn't care about being seen by others, right?"

Naomi Watts, with her long golden hair draped over her shoulders, looked at Link in the crowd and said.

She and Nicole Kidman were classmates who came to Hollywood from Australia last year to develop their careers.

She played a small supporting role in "Final Destination." Later, she joined the UTA agency and received several roles, but the movies weren't big hits, and she didn't become a movie star. She's still just a small actress.

"Yeah, someone like him, a notorious scumbag, really doesn't need to care about his reputation."

Nicole Kidman said resentfully.

Naomi Watts shrugged her shoulders and didn't interrupt. She heard that Link had conflicts with Tom Cruise, and Tom Cruise had even suffered losses at Link's hands, losing a lot of money. That's probably why Nicole was scolding Link.

However, Nicole not only starred in Guess Pictures' movie "To Die For," but she is also the female lead in Link's next movie, the sequel to "Batman."

From this point of view, the two sides don't seem to have any conflicts.

Naomi Watts didn't quite understand the relationship between them and chose to remain silent.

"Hey, Link, didn't mean to bother you, how's our new movie?"

In the front row, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon found Link to say hello.

"Very good, Matt, congratulations. You wrote a good script and also made a good movie. I have a feeling that you will become a big star next."

"Thank you! It's also thanks to your support that 'Good Will Hunting' was able to be filmed and released smoothly."

Matt Damon said with a smile.

"Hey, Link, what about me? I'm also the screenwriter and star of this movie. You seem to have forgotten to congratulate me."

Ben Affleck pointed to his nose.

"Congratulations to you too. How's your training going lately? We'll start filming in February. I hope you don't hold back the crew."

Link said.

"I definitely won't hold you back. Look at my arms, they're a whole circle thicker than they were three months ago."

Ben Affleck flexed his arms to show off his muscles and even puffed out his chest to show him the outline of his chest muscles, like Chris Powell possessed.

"Not bad, very energetic, keep it up."

Link commented and went to the front to congratulate director Gus Van Sant and supporting actor Robin Williams.

These two have collaborated with Guess Pictures on several movies.

Director Gus Van Sant has directed "Good Will Hunting," "To Die For," and "My Own Private Idaho."

Robin Williams, in addition to this movie, also played the male lead, Professor Parker, in "Hachi: A Dog's Tale."

While he was chatting with director Sant about the movie, Nicole Kidman walked over, also congratulated director Sant, and greeted Link casually.

"What are you doing here?"

Link asked in a low voice.

"Hmph, a certain coward doesn't dare to see me, so I can only come to see him. Let's go to the bathroom to talk."

Nicole Kidman pretended to be listening to other people's conversations, her lips speaking softly.

"No, I don't have the habit of chatting in the bathroom."

"Why didn't you say that last time?"

Nicole Kidman's cheeks flushed, and she gave him a charming glance. Her shoulder almost leaned against his body, and an alluring scent of perfume wafted over.

Link shook his head and kept an appropriate distance from her. He said with a serious expression,

"Ms. Kidman, 'Batman' will start filming in February or March next year. Remember to read the script more in your free time and study the character. Dr. Chase is not a simple vase character. She plays a more important role in the play."

"Okay, Director Link, if I encounter something I don't understand, can I ask to chat in person?"

Nicole Kidman blinked and asked with a smile.

"If I have time, it shouldn't be a problem."

After saying congratulations, Link found Monica, Jennifer, and the others and left the cinema together.

Nicole Kidman looked at their figures, and a sudden impulse arose in her heart, wanting to rush up and join them.
