Hollywood Director 1992.

Chapter 124 Beating someone?

"Link, how can you hit someone?"

Dustin Hoffman stepped forward menacingly.

"When did I hit anyone? When Richard Gere rushed over, I put my hands behind my back. What did I use to hit him? You need evidence to slander someone."

Link asked, his hands behind his back.

"Even if you didn't hit anyone, you just insulted Richard's mother, which was very rude."

"What did I say that insulted Mr. Gere's mother? I just asked Mr. Richard Gere if he still invited my girlfriend to dance in a strong tone after she clearly refused. Richard Gere said yes, boasted that he was a good dancer, and invited Monica to try.

I'm also a good dancer, so I invited Mr. Gere's mother to dance. Which word in my speech insulted Richard Gere's mother? "

"you"

Dustin Hoffman wanted to accuse him of inviting Richard Gere's mother to dance, but Link was using Richard Gere's words. If there was no ambiguity in what Richard Gere said, then there was nothing wrong with what Link said. The reason why Richard Gere was furious was probably because his words were ambiguous.

"Mr. Dustin Hoffman, I heard you're going to introduce a movie role to my woman?"

Link looked at the short, plain-looking Dustin Hoffman and asked, "Are you worthy enough?"

"you!"

Dustin Hoffman looked up at him, clenched his fists, and struggled a few times, but he didn't dare to attack him like Richard Gere did.

Although Dustin Hoffman has excellent acting skills, has won two Academy Awards for Best Actor, and is Jewish, his private life is very chaotic and he is a pervert. Later, during the Me Too movement, he was accused of multiple sexual harassment charges.

"Link!"

Richard Gere's angry shout came from behind.

Link glanced coldly at Dustin Hoffman, then turned to look at Richard Gere who had climbed up from the pile of champagne glasses.

This guy had countless glasses of champagne splashed on him. His hair was a mess, his suit was wet with dry spots, his palms were dripping with blood, and he no longer had the look of a beast in human form he had before.

"Mr. Keel, we are all civilized people. If we have something to say, we can talk it out. Why do we have to hit people?"

Link said calmly.

"Damn it! How dare you insult my mother? I have never seen anyone as rude and shameless as you."

Richard Gere asked angrily.

"You invited my girlfriend to dance, and I invited your mother as an equal. How can this be considered an insult? Even if it is an insult, so what? People like you who don't know how to respect women, who like to destroy other people's families, and who like to engage in racial discrimination, are probably not well educated by your mother. She is not innocent."

"Damn it, I'm going to kill you."

Richard Gere wanted to rush over, but was stopped by the people around him, who advised him not to fight anymore and that Link knew Chinese Kung Fu.

Link looked at the people around him and politely apologized to Director Coppola and others.

“I’m sorry to bother you all. I’m a director. Before that, I was a loader. I didn’t receive much education. I don’t know how to be tolerant or to value peace. I only know that whoever doesn’t respect me is not worthy of my respect. Whoever shows me friendship, I will treat him as a friend.

I don't think I did anything wrong in the conflict with Richard Gere, but I'm sorry to let everyone see this messy scene.

Ladies and gentlemen, I am just a newcomer in the film industry with little experience. I am lucky to be invited by Director Coppola to attend this gorgeous party and to meet so many outstanding filmmakers. It is my honor. I am also very sorry that I cannot continue to listen to the teachings of my predecessors. On behalf of Director Coppola’s fans, please allow me to wish "Bram Stoker's Dracula" a big box office success and rave reviews!

Goodbye everyone! "

Link said goodbye to Director Coppola and left the party with Monica.

"Link, wait, let's go together."

Sofia Coppola caught up with him, holding up his skirt, and excitedly praised him for his very enjoyable and well-reasoned words to Richard Gere, leaving Richard Gere speechless.

Link smiled, holding Monica with one hand and Sofia with the other, and left the party. "Sophia!"

Director Coppola shouted, and Sofia left without looking back.

Director Coppola's face gradually darkened.

"Don't be unhappy, old friend. Link is young, handsome and talented. It's not bad to have such a son-in-law."

Martin Scorsese laughed.

Director Coppola glared at him, then walked away angrily with his arms behind his back.

"It's great to be young!"

Director Martin Scorsese exclaimed.

After a few people left, the party staff came in to clean up the place and everyone continued chatting and dancing.

"Keanu, where are you going?"

Nicolas Cage sees Keanu Reeves walking out.

"Link knows Chinese Kung Fu. I want to learn a few moves from him."

"Wait, let's do it together."

Nicolas Cage and Keanu Reeves are gone too.

Although the premiere party of "Bram Stoker's Dracula" was ruined by Richard Gere and others, the movie's box office performance was still good. Over the three-day weekend, it earned $2491 in 3052 theaters in North America, successfully winning the weekly box office championship.

It continued to earn $1502 million in its second week.

The cumulative box office reached 5372 million US dollars.

The box office is expected to be over 4000 million US dollars. Compared with the production budget of million US dollars, this movie is sure to make a profit.

However, after the release of "Bram Stoker's Dracula", a lot of negative news about Monica appeared in the media.

Some say she is a porn star who performed boldly in the film and contributed many nude scenes. Some also say she is Link's live-in girlfriend and they have maintained an intimate relationship since the filming of "Paranormal Activity".

There are also news reports mentioning Link's scandals with Monica Bellucci, Jennifer Connelly, Sofia Coppola and others, suggesting that Link is a philandering man.

It was also mentioned that after Link became rich, he ignored his ex-girlfriend.

The news tried to attack him through the news about Monica.

Link and Monica have not responded to this yet.

This week marks the 3.12th anniversary of the release of "Paranormal Activity", with a cumulative box office of 5 million US dollars in North America. Now there are less than 24 theaters still showing it, with box office revenue of a few thousand dollars per week. It is expected to be completely offline in about weeks.

The cumulative overseas box office has reached 3.23 million US dollars, and most regions have already screened the film, with only a few left.

The film's global box office is around 6.35 million.

Link's total income from this film is about $3.2 million, including box office share, video tape rights, home theater, film sequel rights, etc.

After receiving the share, just at the end of the year, Link took out 200 million US dollars to give bonuses to the company's employees, including the company's three top executives, Liu Xiaoli, Monica Bellucci, Chris Bauer, the male lead Jeremy Northam and others, each receiving at least 5 US dollars.

After distributing the rewards, the company closed for three weeks and everyone went home to celebrate Christmas and New Year. Link, Monica, Liu Xiaoli, and Liu Qianqian flew to Salt Lake City, Utah for vacation. It snowed heavily there in the winter and the scenery was beautiful, making Christmas there more fun.

Stop by the 9th Sundance Film Festival to see if there are any new films worth paying attention to.
