"Am I getting fat?" Gong Li asked him, touching her flushed cheeks.

"Not at all! Just right."

Link sat in his office chair, looking at her voluptuous figure.

Compared to Zhou Huimin and the others, her figure was rounder and more voluptuous, with a noticeable little belly and thicker thighs, a typical Northern girl, but compared to the larger-framed European and American women, she seemed petite.

"It's good that you don't mind. Recently, Maggie Cheung moved next door to me, and we often work out together. I don't know why, but my fitness results aren't very obvious."

"That just means your figure is perfect. No matter how much you exercise, you can't change it at all."

Link said, touching her round cheeks.

Gong Li smiled slightly, hooking his neck and kissing him.

Ding-ling-ling! The phone on the desk rang, and Link answered it, chatting with Jon Gordon about the promotional work for "The Butterfly Effect."

After he finished the call, Gong Li came out of the lounge, having changed her clothes. Link told her that the premiere of "The Butterfly Effect" was on Friday, and she was welcome to attend if she had time.

Gong Li nodded in agreement.

After seeing Gong Li off, Link took a tissue to wipe the water stains from the desk and turned on the computer to continue working.

Friday, cloudy, the air was a bit muggy.

Today was the day "The Butterfly Effect" was released. At noon, Link drove to the ArcLight Cinema in Hollywood to attend the film's premiere.

Quentin Tarantino, Nicolas Cage, Keanu Reeves, Jodie Foster, Bruce Willis and his wife, Madonna, Sharon Stone, Arnold Schwarzenegger and his wife, Tim Robbins and his wife, Nicole Kidman, Maggie Cheung and other stars also came to show their support.

The premiere of "The Butterfly Effect" was star-studded, with more celebrities in attendance than the Golden Globe Awards ceremony.

"Damn it! How can so many people be running to support Link?"

Michael Ovitz looked at the list in his hand, saw many familiar names, and his face became extremely ugly.

"Ron, I told you in advance to notify their agents not to attend Link's premiere. Why are these guys' names on this list?"

Vice President Ron Meyer touched his bald forehead, his expression helpless, "I notified them, and even held a special work meeting, demanding that the agents take this matter seriously. They also guaranteed to persuade their clients... it seems they failed."

There was another reason Ron Meyer didn't say. At the beginning of the year, Ovitz, in order to strengthen his control over the talent agency department, stripped Jay Moloney of some of his powers and handed them over to him.

Compared to Jay Moloney, he lacked experience in this area, and many senior agents outwardly agreed with him but secretly disobeyed him.

There was nothing he could do, he could only take it one step at a time.

He wouldn't tell Michael this for now, lest he be considered incompetent.

"Those bastards! They don't even listen to me. I must blacklist them."

Michael Ovitz shouted angrily.

On this list, Nicolas Cage, Jodie Foster, Julia Moore, Bruce Willis and his wife, Madonna, Brad Pitt and more than thirty other stars were all CAA clients, and all of them were extremely important clients.

Ovitz said he wanted to blacklist them, but in reality it was impossible. CAA's performance mainly relied on their film contracts. If they were blacklisted, CAA would be crippled, and rivals WMA, UTA, ICM, etc. would probably be overjoyed.

Ovitz also knew he couldn't do anything to these people.

Just seeing the names of these people, a chill ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and he couldn't help but shiver in the sun.

CAA used to control the agency contracts of most of the top artists in the film and television industry. The seven major film companies had to look at his face when casting movies, and he also used this method to stab Lew Wasserman, who had once helped him, in the back, becoming the number one on Hollywood's power list.

In the eyes of all the actors, he was not the King of Hollywood, but the God of Entertainment.

But in just five or six years, everything had changed. Not only did Link repeatedly oppose him, but now even CAA's artists were not listening to his orders, running to support his opponent Link's movie.

This kind of behavior of openly supporting the enemy was tantamount to mocking him for losing power, and not being as powerful as Link.

Michael Ovitz clenched his fists tightly, the veins on his forehead bulging again, and his face turned black.

"Michael, I'm here."

Tom Cruise walked over to the entrance of the Hollywood Pacific Theater to say hello.

"Where's Nicole?"

Michael Ovitz saw that he was alone.

Tom Cruise's face sank, he looked in the direction of the ArcLight Cinema, and said angrily, "She went over there to support Link."

"Damn it!!"

Michael Ovitz couldn't help but roar. Seeing that there were people not far away, he couldn't help but lower his voice, "They all deserve to die! I will never let them have a good time, I swear!"

Tom Cruise also clenched his fists.

After filming "Batman Forever", Nicole Kidman not only separated from him, but also refused to accompany him to any public events, and even tried to avoid meeting him.

He was as good as without a wife now.

And all of this was because of Link, but that bastard pretended, saying he wouldn't touch other people's wives, so shameless.

"Tom, relax, don't be too angry. If Link sees this, he'll only be more proud."

Michael Ovitz patted Tom Cruise on the back.

Tom Cruise saw that there were many reporters, took a few deep breaths, and relaxed his facial muscles.

"Tom Hanks is here."

Ron Meyer pointed to the red carpet and reminded him.

The latest novels are first published at 顶点小说网!

Michael Ovitz laughed and waited until Tom Hanks walked over from the red carpet before he and Tom Cruise went over to say hello.

But when Tom Hanks saw him, his expression was also very bad. He simply nodded and turned to pull his wife into the cinema.

Michael Ovitz's warm face was met with a cold shoulder, his expression lost control again, his eyes filled with murderous intent, and the veins on his forehead popped out.

He knew why Tom Hanks didn't like him.

Because this was also the premiere of the movie "Apollo 13".

Tom Hanks was the star of the film.

Originally, the film was scheduled to be released in June, but in order to suppress Link's "The Butterfly Effect", he and the presidents of the seven major film companies discussed and advanced the film's release date.

"Apollo 13" was a commercial blockbuster produced by Universal Pictures, with a production cost of $52 million. It received extremely high praise from the distribution department during the test screening and was a movie with great potential for a big hit.

Releasing it at the same time as Link's low-budget art film "The Butterfly Effect" could almost crush it at the box office.

Originally, they didn't want to use this blockbuster to deal with "The Butterfly Effect", but after being reversed by Link several times because they underestimated him, this time they fully learned their lesson and used the most powerful blockbuster as soon as they made a move.

They not only wanted to defeat Link's movie, but also repeatedly crush it, making this movie a complete failure.

This was the consideration of him and the senior executives of the seven major film companies, but Tom Hanks opposed the adjustment of the schedule.

After starring in Link's "The Sixth Sense", Tom Hanks privately praised Link greatly, saying that Link was a very powerful director, and also had a good personal relationship with Link.

He didn't want to participate in the seven major film companies' actions to suppress Guess Who Pictures, and even more didn't want to use this movie to compete with Link's movie.

But he was just an actor, and his protest was invalid.

This was also the reason why the good-natured Tom Hanks was angry.

But Tom Hanks was an artist under CAA. Not only did he not take the initiative to say hello to him, the boss, but he also dared to give him a bad look.

Michael Ovitz clenched his fists, his face showing uncontrollable anger. If it were four years ago, when his power was overwhelming, would Tom Hanks and the others dare to treat him like this?

Now, just because he had lost power, one by one they began to ignore him, it was simply outrageous.

If he had known they were this kind of people, he would never have let them become famous.

"Michael, don't be angry, be careful of being photographed by reporters."

Tom Cruise comforted him softly.

Michael Ovitz restrained his angry expression and looked at Tom Cruise beside him. He nodded with satisfaction.

Despite being betrayed by many people, Tom Cruise was still there, which also showed that there was no problem with his vision, the problem was with those traitors.

When he defeats Link and Guess Who Pictures in the future and regains the throne of the King of Hollywood.

Those who betrayed him, one by one, he won't let any of them go!!

Michael Ovitz swore secretly in his heart.

After entering the cinema, Tom Cruise sat in the audience and thought for a while, then took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Link, wishing his new movie a big hit, and also explained the reason why he couldn't come to the premiere.

Although he hated Link for taking away his wife, making him very embarrassed, but from the current situation, Michael Ovitz was outwardly strong but inwardly weak, and his loss of power was inevitable, while Link was like a rising star, and his power in Hollywood would become stronger and stronger.

Maintaining a friendly relationship with Link at this time was obviously more beneficial than continuing to be hostile.

Tom Cruise snorted softly, put away his phone, and secretly prayed that Link's new movie would flop at the box office.
