Hollywood Director 1992

After the party, Nicole Kidman greeted and bid farewell to Link with a smile, showing no intention of seducing him, as if she had become a different person.

Back in the car, Nicole Kidman's face turned cold, and she kicked the front seat, her face full of resentment and shame.

Before attending the script meeting, she had originally planned to take advantage of the opportunity to discuss the script to continue seducing Link, completely capturing him, and then finding a way to make him submit to her charms.

However, before the meeting, when she prepared to seduce Link, she was glared at by him.

At that time, Link's eyes and aura were very frightening, like a cold, ruthless, and indifferent monarch.

It made her feel cold, even afraid and panicked.

She had heard people say that Link was a workaholic who would be very serious when filming movies, but she didn't expect him to be so terrifying as a workaholic.

After being glared at by Link, all her romantic fantasies instantly shattered, and she even developed a psychological shadow of Link. When she saw him again, it was difficult for her to seduce him with frivolous language and alluring movements like in the past.

This change made her very frustrated.

On the one hand, she seriously doubted her own charm;

On the other hand, through that glance, she had a deeper understanding of Link. He was not as sunny, gentle, humorous, and funny as he appeared on the surface. His heart might be darker and colder than the meteorites in the depths of the starry sky.

What made her even more frustrated was that after seeing Link's inner self, she not only didn't think about staying away from him, but became even more curious about him and couldn't help but want to understand him and get closer to him.

Nicole Kidman helplessly discovered that when she was seducing Link, she seemed to be deeply attracted by his unique temperament and unable to extricate herself.

Ding Ling Ling!

The phone rang, and Nicole Kidman came back to her senses and answered the phone. The caller was Michael Ovitz, asking her how things were going, whether she had seduced Link, and whether she had taken any photos.

Nicole Kidman said no, Link said she was a married woman and didn't want to touch her.

Michael Ovitz was so angry that he cursed, scolding Link for being a playboy with no bottom line, which was ridiculous.

Nicole Kidman told him not to worry, she was going to change her approach to seduce Link.

"Change your approach? What approach?"

"In the past, in order to seduce Link, I acted like a bitch, but it was useless. From what I know, compared to women who are too proactive, he seems to prefer proper women, like those few Lily Lius, Monica Bellucci, Jennifer Connelly, and Brooke Shields.

No matter what they were like in the past, after becoming Link's women, they all became very proper, whether it was their dressing or their words and deeds, they were very restrained, as if they were married to Link. Whether they took the initiative to become like this, or it was Link's request, it shows that Link prefers proper women."

"You mean?"

"I also want to become a proper woman, interacting with Link as a normal woman, instead of a bitch who only knows how to be horny. Also, last time I suggested that Tom and Link cooperate, it would be best if they could become friends. I still think so now, and I hope you can persuade Tom again to cooperate with our actions."

Nicole Kidman leaned back in her seat with her long legs crossed, watching the neon lights outside the car window quickly flowing backward, her tone calm and decisive. She didn't seem to be working for Michael Ovitz, but rather instructing him to do things.

Michael Ovitz also heard it, but he didn't care. As long as Nicole Kidman could get Link into bed and take compromising photos, nothing else mattered.

"Nicole, are you sure this will work? Before, you said that Link didn't want to touch you because you were a married woman. If Link and Tom become friends, you will become a friend's wife. Will he still touch you?"

Michael Ovitz expressed his concerns.

Nicole Kidman sneered, "Don't think of Link as so good. No matter how reserved he appears, he is a lustful playboy at heart. He may not touch a strange married woman, but he may not be able to resist a friend's beautiful and charming wife. Don't forget Winona Ryder. I bet she had interactions with Link, even slept with him, before breaking up with Depp."

"Okay, Nicole, I trust your judgment. I will persuade Tom to cooperate with Link. There happens to be an opportunity now. Columbia Pictures' movie project 'Jerry Maguire' has been given to Guess What Pictures. That role is very suitable for Link. I will persuade Tom to take on that role and cooperate with Link.

In addition, you also have to work hard. Now the seven major studios are preparing to besiege Guess What Pictures and Link, and they are lacking a breakthrough. I hope you will have good news."

"Michael, don't worry, I will definitely succeed in seducing that bastard Link, and then conquer him and ravage him, making him kneel in front of me and willingly become my servant, to see if that bastard dares to ignore my charm in the future."

Nicole Kidman shouted in a shrill voice.

Michael Ovitz seemed to be frightened by her and quickly expressed his belief in her.

After hanging up the phone, Michael Ovitz shook his head, wondering how Link had offended Nicole so badly, making her hate him so much, but this was a good thing for him. If Nicole was willing to go all out to deal with Link, Link would probably be unlucky.

Michael Ovitz was looking forward to seeing Link unlucky, but Nicole Kidman was preparing to change her tactics, using playing hard to get to deal with Link, which was a good move but would take longer to be effective.

Michael Ovitz thought for a while and called Cameron Diaz, asking her if she had seduced Link.

Cameron Diaz was also an artist under CAA. After Nicole Kidman's previous failures, he had picked out several beauties from the company to deal with Link, and Cameron Diaz was one of them.

For the past few weeks, Cameron Diaz and Link had been on the 'Hachi: A Dog's Tale' set and often met, so there might be a chance to seduce Link.

Cameron Diaz told him on the phone that she had slept with Link.

"Really?"

Michael Ovitz stood up excitedly, "How many times did you sleep with him? Did you take any photos of Link, or get evidence of him raping you?"

Cameron Diaz said she had slept with him more than a dozen times, and she had taken the initiative to seduce Link, willingly sleeping with him, and had not taken any evidence.

"More than a dozen times? Damn it, I said the process doesn't matter, you just need to take a picture of him in bed after he falls asleep, and get some hair and body fluids, and give them to me together with your testimony, and I can definitely turn him into a rapist."

Michael shouted excitedly.

Cameron Diaz said no, Link was a very, very good man, young, handsome, and wealthy, so talented, so gentle and considerate, everything about him was great, she didn't want to hurt Link, and she wouldn't listen to Michael Ovitz's orders to deal with Link in the future.

"Damn it! Cameron, have you forgotten that your agency contract is with CAA? If you dare not listen to my orders, I will ban you! I mean what I say!"

Michael Ovitz roared angrily.

"Ban me then. I am Link's girlfriend now. My boyfriend is a billionaire, a world-class director, a movie company boss, the number one person on the Hollywood power list, more powerful than you. With him around, I won't lack resources."

"You! You!!"

Michael Ovitz's face turned green when he heard her words, the veins on his forehead popped out, and his teeth gnashed.

"Link not only gives me resources, but also money. I now have a bank card he gave me, with a monthly spending limit of $100,000, $1.2 million a year. My current salary is only $100,000. Even if I don't act, I still have a lot of money to spend every year. Link is so great.

Michael, thank you for helping me get the role in the 'Hachi: A Dog's Tale' crew, and thank you for letting me seduce Link. After becoming Link's woman, I realized that everything is so great, so dreamy. Michael, thank you so much."

Cameron Diaz's sincere and simple tone was very touching. Last time it touched Link, and this time it also touched Michael Ovitz. Michael's body swayed, and he sat down on the public chair with a thud. His vision was dark and hazy, as if the sky had suddenly darkened, and it took more than ten seconds to recover.

Cameron Diaz was still praising Link in the microphone, saying that Link was the most perfect man in the world, able to exceed all her fantasies about men. Now what she wanted to do was to maintain her beautiful and sexy figure and make Link love her even more.

Michael Ovitz gritted his back teeth and said in a hoarse voice, "Bitch, you are happy too soon. If I tell Link that you are a spy I arranged to be by his side to deal with him, do you think he will still like you?"

"It's okay. After I slept with Link for the first time, I felt bad about hiding it from him, so I told him. I even asked if he would blame me. Link chuckled and said it was okay, and even wanted me to thank you for sending me, this beautiful woman, to his side."

Bang!

Before Cameron Diaz could finish speaking, Michael Ovitz picked up the phone and slammed it hard on the floor, his vision blurring again into darkness.

"Link, I will never let you go!!!"

Outside the office door, the assistants couldn't help but shrink their necks when they heard their boss's sharp, owl-like scream.

"Link, are you home yet?"

"Almost."

"I'm already home, taking a bath. The bathtub is full of bubbles, except for my calves. Do you want to see? Oh, I almost forgot, I said I would chat with you as a friend. Okay, let's talk seriously. Today's script meeting was really interesting. We've had many before, but none as interesting as this one. I think it's probably because you were there. It's still night, but I'm already looking forward to tomorrow's script meeting. I have a new idea about Dr. Chase. Can we talk about it tomorrow?"

Ding ding~

As Link received Nicole Kidman's message, the car was about to return to the Beverly Hills mansion. He replied briefly, then put away his phone and walked into the villa's hall.

All the women were home.

Monica Bellucci, Liu Xiaoli, Jennifer Connelly, Sofia, Milla Jovovich, and Winona Ryder were chatting.

Little Qianqian was squatting in front of the TV watching the seventh season of the cartoon "Garfield," hugging three kittens, surrounded by several kittens and puppies. The little one watched the cartoon while eating snacks, giggling non-stop.

"Link, you're back."

Sofia saw him come in, opened her arms, and threw herself into his embrace.

"What's wrong? It hasn't been months since we last met."

Link hugged Sofia, kissed her, and sat back on the sofa. The others gathered around, the large living room brightly lit.

"The third week's box office results for 'The Man from Earth' are out. The box office is very poor, and the attendance rate is also very poor. This movie is going to fail."

Sofia said, sniffing.

"How much was the box office this week?"

"Only $420,000."

Sofia handed him the newspaper.

"The Man from Earth" was released in mid-January, earning $158,000 in 12 theaters in its first week, with an average daily box office of less than $2,000 per theater. Both the attendance rate and the box office results were very poor.

The reason was the same as what he had told Sofia at the preview, the movie's content was too profound, the threshold for viewing was high, and the box office situation would not be too good.

Everything was as he expected.

The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

Under this circumstance, most movies would give up theatrical distribution and switch to offline distribution, but Link asked the publicity department to continue promoting and expand the screening scale at their own expense.

Originally, the publicity and distribution department staff thought there would be a miracle, but there wasn't.

In the second week, it was released in 102 theaters, with a box office of $640,000.

In the third week, 107 theaters, with a box office of $427,000.

The cumulative box office was $1.21 million.

This box office data looks good, but it's actually very poor.

This movie is adapted from Link's best-selling book, with its own popularity. In addition, Guess Pictures spent more than $1.5 million on the movie's publicity and distribution.

Under these circumstances, it only sold a little over one million in tickets, indicating that the audience really didn't like this movie.

This is also the reason why Sofia was crying in his arms.

This is her directorial debut, and the box office results are so poor that she's almost depressed.

"Sofia, don't be sad. The production cost of this movie was $15,000, and the North American box office is $1.21 million, almost 100 times the return. It's pretty good,"

Jennifer Connelly comforted her.

"Don't哄 me. The movie's publicity cost more than $1.5 million, and the box office is only over $1.2 million. This is equivalent to buying the box office with money. It's not a real box office at all,"

Sofia was very sad. Before the movie was released, she knew that this movie was not suitable for theatrical release and was prepared for poor box office results, but she didn't expect the box office to be so low, so low that her chest hurt.

"Then you don't need to be sad. This movie was decided by Link, and he is also the screenwriter and editor of this movie. If the box office results are not good, he will bear most of the responsibility, and you only have a small part,"

Monica Bellucci patted Link on the shoulder and joked.

"Yes, Monica is right, it's all Link's responsibility."

"Sofia, don't be sad, it's not your fault, Link should be sad."

Liu Xiaoli, Renée Zellweger, and others also started teasing Link.

Link shook his head and smiled, "Don't be so quick to determine whose fault it is. We anticipated that the box office results of this movie would not be too good when it was first released, and we didn't have too many expectations. However, according to the market department's investigation, this type of movie sells well in the video tape market, so maybe we can make a fortune in the video tape market."

"Really?"

Sofia wiped her eyes and looked at him expectantly.

"Don't worry, this movie has good word-of-mouth. The newspapers are full of praise for you, saying that the artistic attainments you showed in this movie are amazing, and praising you as one of the most promising new directors of the younger generation."

Link hugged Sofia and patted her.

Hearing him mention the movie reviews, Sofia immediately cheered up.

The movie's box office results were average, but the word-of-mouth was very positive. Many well-known film critics praised her in the newspapers, saying that the movie was very deep and a classic soft science fiction movie, praising that the old Coppola director had a successor.

However, Sofia knew that she was more influenced by Link in terms of film technology and theory.

"Link, why did you come back so early? Is the script meeting over?"

Monica changed the subject.

"Yeah, didn't you say there was a party after the script meeting? Why did you come back so early?"

"Nicole Kidman was also there. Didn't you chat with her for a while?"

"Haha, we were just betting whether you would bring her back tonight."

Jennifer and Renée Zellweger and the others chimed in.

Link shook his head, "What are you talking about? After the crew finished the meeting, we gathered at the hotel for a while. I came back after eating. What does it have to do with Nicole Kidman?"

"Don't lie. At the last Golden Globe Awards, Nicole Kidman's eyes when she looked at you could draw silk, wishing she could stick to you. You also stare at Nicole Kidman every time you look at her. If she takes the initiative to stick to you, would you refuse?"

Monica sat on the矮 table, crossed one leg, and teased with a smile.

The others also teased Link when they heard Monica's words, saying that Nicole Kidman wanted to stick to him, and he was an insatiable pervert who would definitely not let go of this piece of meat.

Link was helpless, "Nicole Kidman is married. I'm not so tasteless that I won't even let go of married women."

"What's wrong with married women? It's Nicole Kidman who took the initiative to stick to you. It's not like you want to bully her. Why do you care so much?"

Monica covered her lips and smiled.

The others also giggled.

Link saw that Monica was a ringleader, so he didn't condone her. He reached out and hugged her over, slapping her twice on the fleshy area, making Monica's cheeks flushed.

"If you were willing to play Dr. Chase, would I need to waste time dealing with Nicole Kidman?"

"It's not like I wanted you to choose her as the heroine. You definitely chose her because you coveted her."

Monica refused to admit defeat even after being beaten, covering her butt and rolling her eyes at him. The other women also teased him happily.

Link decided to give Monica a taste of her own medicine, hugging Monica and putting her on his shoulder, carrying her upstairs.

"Haha, there's a good show to watch. Let's go see."

"Monica is going to suffer today."

Jennifer Connelly, Sofia, Renée Zellweger, and the others quickly followed upstairs to watch the show.

Little Qianqian saw the excitement upstairs, put down the remote control and wanted to go upstairs to watch too. Before she could stand up, Liu Xiaoli twisted her ear and sent her back to the villa next door, telling her to hurry up and do her homework and continue practicing the piano after she was done.

Little Qianqian rolled her eyes and did her homework with a huff.

Liu Xiaoli successfully suppressed the little girl and handed her over to the nanny to take care of before returning to the main villa.

By the time she arrived, the bedroom was already in chaos.
