Hollywood Director 1992.

Chapter 100: Left and Right Embrace (Additional Update, Please Read)
After the party, Link saw Quentin and others off in the parking lot, then drove Jennifer Connelly to her apartment to spend the night.

After their last date at Magic Mountain Amusement Park, the two became closer and would meet up every now and then to do the things they loved.

Sometimes in Link's new apartment, sometimes in Jennifer Connelly's apartment.

Jennifer has a pure appearance and is a little bit love-minded, but she is also a woman who prefers exciting things. Her personality is even hotter than her body, and she is full of wildness in her bones.

Fortunately, Link is in good physical condition and can play with Jennifer to the end every time.

They both enjoyed it every time.

However, after each date, Link would still return to the Golden Oak Apartments to rest.

Monica knew a thing or two about him dating Jennifer Connelly, but she didn't care.

Whether in the United States or Italy, it is very normal for successful men to have several lovers. If a man does not have a lover after becoming successful, he will appear unattractive.

But after Jennifer showed up, Monica treated him better.

She takes the initiative to make breakfast for him every day, accompanies him shopping, and becomes more proactive in the bedroom, using all kinds of hot positions, as if she wants to drain him dry.

Link returned the favor by buying Monica a sports car as a gift and increasing the maximum spending amount on her bank card to $20.

At the same time, suitable roles will be left for Monica, such as the second female role in "Ace Detective" and the second female role in "Final Destination", and she can try them.

He also plans to set up an agency and let Monica manage it.

It is now 1992, and many future big stars are still small fry, such as Renée Zellweger and Matt Damon. Signing them in advance and training them can also be a way to make money in the future.

Also, after having an agency, you will no longer be restricted by CAA and other agencies in hiring in the future.

After the weekend, Link returned to the company and continued to work on the film.

In its 14th week after its release, "Paranormal Activity" has officially exceeded $3 million in North America, reaching $3.02 million, and its overseas box office has also accumulated to $2.52 million.

Total box office: $5.54 million.

Link earned $2.85 million from box office share and other copyright income.

Although he made a lot of money from "Paranormal Activity", he also received a lot of criticism in the process. His peers called him a director of junk films, someone who did not understand the art of film and could only engage in hype, and a destroyer of the film market, etc.

His current reputation in the entertainment industry is mixed.

In addition, the huge sales of "Paranormal Activity" also attracted the attention of the seven major Hollywood film studios, which proposed to acquire Guess What Pictures, offering 1500 million and requiring Link to bring his company to work for them.

Link didn't agree. With the box office subsidy system in place, he would rather close the company than work for others.

The seven major film studios re-proposed a cooperation plan and hinted that cooperation would be beneficial to both sides. If they did not cooperate, they would treat him as a rival, causing Guess Pictures to go bankrupt and making him unable to gain a foothold in Hollywood.

Link did not ignore the warning from the Big Seven Studios.

The seven major film studios are backed by large media groups, and behind the media groups are Jewish consortiums and Wall Street capital.

They control movie theaters, talent agencies, news media, and even the White House.

If they really want to join hands to deal with Guess Pictures, he will not be able to compete with his current energy.

After careful consideration, Link took the initiative to contact the Big Seven Studios and proposed a cooperation plan.

There are currently three partners, Columbia-TriStar Pictures.

When negotiating the overseas rights to "Paranormal Activity", he and Columbia Pictures have finalized the cooperation, and as long as the cooperation goes smoothly, the two sides will continue to cooperate.

The remaining two are New Line Cinema and Miramax Films. Currently, Warner Bros. is planning to acquire New Line Cinema. After the acquisition is successful, New Line Cinema will become a subsidiary of Warner Bros. Pictures, mainly responsible for producing independent films.

Working with New Line Cinema is equivalent to working with Warner Bros.

Miramax Films has performed well in the independent production field in recent years, releasing a number of blockbuster films, including "Sex, Lies, and Videotape", "My Left Foot", "Cinema Paradiso", "Family Trip", "Project Condor", etc., and has also received multiple Oscar nominations and awards.

Miramax Films' performance also attracted the attention of the seven major film studios.

Recently, Walt Disney launched an acquisition of Miramax, offering $8000 million and proposing a $7 million production plan, giving the Weinstein brothers a high degree of autonomy.

After the acquisition is successful, Miramax Films will also become a subsidiary of Disney.

Working with Miramax is also working with Disney.

Temporarily cooperating with the three film studios can also ease the conflict with the Big Seven film studios and reduce the suppression of Guess Pictures by the Big Seven film studios.

When cooperating with the three companies, Link can also take the opportunity to make more money and become the capital party.

After obtaining the money, Guess Pictures can gradually break away from the control of the Big Seven film studios by improving film publicity and distribution channels and enhancing its film publicity and distribution capabilities.

After finalizing cooperation with several companies, Guess Pictures has three more partners for its future film projects.

Among them, "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective" was co-produced with Columbia Pictures and had a budget of 1200 million US dollars.

Link serves as investor, general producer, art director, etc.

The director is Tom Shadyac, who was recommended by Jim Carrey. The film is tentatively starring Jim Carrey as the male lead, and Monica as the female villain. The other actors are currently unavailable.

"Pulp Fiction" is produced in collaboration with Miramax Films and Outlaw Films.

The director is Quentin, and the estimated investment is 1000 million US dollars.

For this movie, Guess the Movies only participated in the investment but not the production.

"Seven" is co-produced with New Line Cinema and is expected to start shooting in the second half of next year.

The director has not been decided yet. Robert Shea hopes Link can direct the film, but Link has not responded yet.

There are also benefits to cooperating with these three companies. In the future, if he is interested in film projects under the three companies, he can propose investment. If rejected, he can choose other companies to cooperate with.

This is a win-win situation.

In addition to the projects in cooperation with the three companies, Guess What Pictures also has two independently produced films.

"The Blair Witch Project", budget: $5.

Link served as producer, screenwriter, editor, etc., Sofia Coppola served as assistant director and cinematographer, etc., and Renée Zellweger, Matt Damon, and Ben Affleck served as the starring roles.

Filming is expected to start next week.

"Final Destination", budget: $1500 million.

This will be the third film directed by Link and is expected to start shooting in March or April next year.

“Daniel, contact Matt Damon and Ben Affleck and ask them how they are preparing. Have them come to the company for a trial shoot and go to the mountains to shoot next week.”

Link called Daniel DeVito.

"Okay boss, I'll contact them now."
