Hollywood Director 1992

Overcoming numerous obstacles and spending considerable funds, Michael Ovitz finally managed to leak the negative information.

Since Link was already a well-known Hollywood playboy with scandals dating back to 1992,

and few of the female celebrities in this batch of revelations were fresh faces,

the exposé initially didn't attract much attention.

However, Michael Ovitz was unwilling to give up. He personally contacted the media companies behind the seven major studios,

asking them to cooperate in hyping the story to undermine Link's prestige in the entertainment industry. Link was the core and soul of Guessing Game Pictures, and ruining Link's reputation was the first and most important step in defeating Guessing Game Pictures.

After consideration, the executives of the seven major media groups agreed with his view and allocated many media resources to help him promote Link's dirt.

With the addition of numerous media outlets, these scandals suddenly became lively.

Mainstream media outlets such as the *New York Post* and the *Los Angeles Times* published Link's "exclusive revelations" on the front pages of their entertainment sections.

The reports exhaustively listed his ambiguous relationships with more than a dozen actresses, attaching timelines, ambiguous rumors, and multiple blurry paparazzi photos, directly accusing the big director of being 'Hollywood's most adept playboy at toying with emotions,' comparable to 'Warren Beatty II'.

*Entertainment Weekly* went all out, revealing his chaotic private life and criticizing Link's casting for severe "under-the-table rules," pointing out that many actors with close ties to him relied on these rules to obtain important roles, while truly suitable actors were rejected.

The magazine called on the industry to boycott Link's films and restore a fair competitive environment to Hollywood.

The most sensational report came from the *Weekly World News*: According to "insiders," Link's mansion in Beverly Hills was a lavish "modern version of a bacchanal," with the swimming pool filled with Bordeaux red wine, the trees in the courtyard covered with Swarovski crystals, and more than twenty top luxury cars parked in the garage. He often invited female celebrities and models to spend the night at the villa.

The magazine used a full fifteen pages to portray Link as a playboy with an extremely chaotic personal life.

"Look at this, I really don't understand how a lecherous and shameless guy like Link can become a famous director."

In a bar, Tom Cruise curled his lips, his handsome face revealing a strong disdain, but upon closer inspection, one could also see some jealousy and envy.

"Being a director only requires good technique, not good character."

Michael Douglas said. He was a top Hollywood star and film producer. He won an Academy Award in 1988 for *Wall Street* and has recently become popular again with films such as *Basic Instinct*, *Falling Down*, and *Disclosure*.

Hearing his words, Tom Cruise nodded in agreement and turned to Dustin Hoffman, saying, "This time, the seven major studios are joining forces to suppress Guessing Game Pictures. Link won't have it easy either. Once Link's reputation is ruined, you can come back to make movies in a couple of years."

Dustin Hoffman's face was gloomy, and his brow was furrowed. Since the scandal broke last year, his acting career has suffered a huge blow. Movie roles have been replaced, and work announcements have become less and less frequent, which has also led to a sharp drop in his income, from an initial annual income of twenty to thirty million to now zero income. His fame in the industry has also dropped sharply, and he is about to become a washed-up old actor.

What made him even more painful was that his opponent, Link, was becoming more and more wealthy and famous. Every time he saw news of Link making money, he almost died of anger.

Now that he heard that Link was going to be unlucky, he cheered up again and came out to meet old friends to prepare for his comeback.

"I'm very curious, Link is a billionaire, currently the most successful commercial film director, and the owner of Guessing Game Film Company. Can these things alone affect Link's reputation and status?"

Nicole Kidman leaned back on the sofa, holding an entertainment magazine in her hand, and only spoke when she heard the others talking about Link.

"Hmph!" Tom Cruise was very dissatisfied with Nicole Kidman speaking at this time. "There are many directors in the industry who are better than him at making movies. The main reason his movies can make money is that he's lucky and knows how to hype them. Now that the seven major studios and the media groups behind them have joined forces to deal with him, he definitely has no chance of winning."

Michael Douglas nodded and said, "Link makes movies to make money for himself, not for the seven major studios and entertainment capital. For Guessing Game Pictures, he is a box office elixir, but for the seven major studios, he is a poison. Completely defeating him and turning him into a film-making machine is in the best interests of the seven major studios.

Now that Link has negative news, the media under the seven major media groups are vying to reprint and report it, which also shows that they are serious about this matter."

"Good, good, that's right."

Dustin Hoffman stared at Nicole Kidman and said, "Nicole, don't think that Link has a big reputation in Hollywood and that his movies make a lot of money. In fact, the reputation he has gained in Hollywood and the money he has earned from movies are all the result of entertainment capital's indulgence.

It's like raising fish. Now that the fish are fat, entertainment capital wants to eat the fish, but Link won't let them, thinking it's all his own credit. He's so stupid and greedy, he'll definitely not have a good ending."

"It seems like the situation is very serious, but the magazine says this bastard is vacationing in Hawaii, as if he doesn't care at all. Doesn't he still understand the current situation?"

Nicole Kidman tilted her slender legs and swayed them.

Dustin Hoffman stared at her slender and rounded legs with a hidden gaze, secretly swallowing his saliva. "That's why this guy is stupid, and this news proves it."

Without a mistake, a first, a hair, an inside, a capacity, a look!

"Nicole, I heard that you are the female lead in Link's next movie. That's a very dangerous decision," Michael Douglas said, smoking a cigarette.

Tom Cruise's face turned cold, feeling very embarrassed. He was about to ask Nicole to give up the role when he suddenly remembered Michael Ovitz's plan. He clenched his fists and chose to remain silent.

"Mr. Jay Moloney helped me get this role. When I accepted this role, the seven major studios hadn't prepared to deal with Link yet. Besides, the producer of this movie is Warner Bros. I'm working with Warner Bros., not Link, so it shouldn't be a big problem."

Nicole Kidman brushed the golden strands of hair beside her ear.

"Nicole, Link is a very lecherous guy who likes to have under-the-table rules with actresses. Be careful when you're filming, don't let him take advantage of you. If he dares to bully you, just find me and Tom and a few others, and we will definitely teach him a lesson and ruin his reputation."

Dustin Hoffman looked at Nicole Kidman's beautiful cheeks and sexy, tall figure, his saliva secretion became even more vigorous, and the corners of his mouth became wet.

A trace of disdain flashed in Nicole Kidman's blue eyes. She lazily said 'I know' and then continued to read the magazine, no longer participating in the conversation.
