Hollywood Director 1992.

Chapter 126 Hype
At Alta Ski Resort in Salt Lake City, many people wearing thick down jackets and ski equipment were speeding on the ski resort, including Link and Monica, Liu Xiaoli, and Liu Qianqian.

The four people did not know how to ski at first. Under the guidance of the coach, they learned for two days before they could slowly glide on the skis.

"Link, there's a call, it's from Quentin!"

Liu Xiaoli shouted in the rest area.

Link returned to the lounge with his ski poles, took off his gloves, drank a few sips of water, sat on a chair and called Quentin.

Liu Xiaoli and Monica continued to take Liu Xixi to play in the snow, laughing and having a great time.

"Quentin, Happy New Year, what are you doing?"

"Watching TV at home, where are you, it sounds lively."

"Playing at the ski resort. It snowed heavily a few days ago. Today it is sunny. Many people are skiing here."

"You are so leisurely. There are many news reports in newspapers and on TV right now saying that you and Richard Gere had a big fight at the premiere party of Bram Stoker's Dracula. You used Chinese Kung Fu to knock Richard Gere down, and Richard Gere was seriously injured and hospitalized. Is this news true?"

Quentin's voice on the phone became high-pitched, which was a unique emotion among the spectators.

Ordinary people need to rely on media channels to get the news, so Quentin called him directly.

"That's fake. If I had knocked Richard Gere over, I would be in the police station or court right now, not on vacation."

"What a shame, it would have been awesome if you guys actually had a fight."

"You have a grudge against Richard Gere?"

"No. I like to watch the fun, especially your fun. If you two really fight, I will be able to watch your fun often in the media in the future."

"You are so free."

Link shook his head. "How is the preparation for Pulp Fiction going? When will it start filming next year?"

"March, about the same time as Final Destination. By the way, there is a role in my movie that is very suitable for you. After the filming starts, please take two days off to shoot with the crew."

"What role? Let's talk about it in advance. The role can't be too big. I don't have that much time to shoot. Also, the role can't be too ugly, which will affect my glorious image."

"A glorious image? A thug who beats people up can also have a glorious image. Don't worry, this role is definitely suitable for you."

Quentin chuckled on the phone.

Link did not refuse. When "Paranormal Activity" was released, he personally found Quentin and borrowed Quentin's movie-watching video to promote the movie, making Quentin look bad.

In exchange, he agreed to help Quentin once.

Even if Quentin arranged for him to play the role of a perverted gay this time, he couldn't refuse.

After hanging up the phone, Link put on gloves, picked up his ski poles, and chased after Monica, Liu Xiaoli and the others.

While he was on vacation in Utah, many tabloids hyped up a fight between him and Richard Gere.

But neither he nor Richard Gere responded directly.

This news was in the media for two or three days and gradually lost its popularity.

On January 1, the 5th Golden Globe Awards was held at the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles.

"Scent of a Woman" became the biggest winner of this year's Golden Globe Awards, winning three major awards: Best Picture, Drama, Best Actor, and Best Screenplay.

Tim Robbins won the Best Actor in a Comedy or Musical for his outstanding performance in the movie "The Player".

Link called to congratulate him and expressed his jealousy of him for winning the award.

Tim Robbins was very happy to hear this and enthusiastically invited him to the celebration party.

Link agreed.

Tim Robbins also asked about his conflicts with Richard Gere and Dustin Hoffman, asking him if he had ever fought either of them.

Link said no.

Tim Robbins felt sorry and said that Dustin Hoffman deserved a beating. He once competed with him for Susan Sarandon. If he hadn't been handsome and mature enough, he would have almost been snatched away by Hoffman.

After he and Susan Sarandon lived together, Dustin Hoffman still refused to give up and often harassed Susan, which was very annoying. Link asked Hoffman for harassing Susan, so why didn't he beat Hoffman up.

Tim said fighting is bad.

Link shook his head. This guy was just a softie. He didn't know why a strong woman like Susan Sarandon would like him.

After chatting with Tim Robbins, Link sent messages to Al Pacino and director Clint Eastwood to congratulate them on winning the Best Actor and Best Director awards.

On January 1, the 9th Sundance Film Festival was held in Park City. Link and Monica went to the film festival to watch several movies, but unfortunately they did not find any movies with box office potential.

Robert Rodriguez also participated in this year's Sundance Film Festival with his film "The Killers", and won the Audience Award for Drama.

After spending a few days in Salt Lake City and Las Vegas, Link returned to Los Angeles with his two children.

"Xixi, have you had fun these days?"

After sending the Liu mother and daughter back to Rex Apartment, Link teased the little girl and asked her when they were parting.

"not bad."

Liu Qianqian folded her arms and nodded coolly.

"Just nice? You smile every day, I thought you would be very happy."

"It's not enough to have fun in just 20 days. I would be very happy if we could stay at the ski resort and not come back, and not have to go to class."

"Huh, so you want to skip class?"

"No, don't talk nonsense."

Liu Qianqian saw her mother coming over and covered Link's mouth with her hand.

"What are you doing? You have no respect for your elders."

Liu Xiaoli tapped the little girl's head and asked the nanny to take her to school.

Liu Qianqian pouted and left reluctantly.

After returning to Los Angeles, Monica flew to Miami to film "Ace Ventura", Liu Xiaoli returned to work in the company, and Link started the second round of new book signings, flying back and forth between Canada, the United Kingdom, France and other places.

While he was busy holding book signings, the release of "The Blair Witch Project" officially began.

Starting from the end of last year, World News Weekly published investigative news about the Blair Witch for seven consecutive weeks, including reporter investigations, on-site photos, interviews with villagers, etc., making many people aware of the existence of the Blair Witch.

On the eve of the release of "The Blair Witch Project", in addition to "World News Weekly", more media joined the publicity team and reported a lot of news related to witches.

For example, tourists discovered the Blair Witch and saw the witch flying in the forest on a broom, wearing a black cloak, like a giant crow.

For example, the Wilton town police told reporters that in the past three years, more than a dozen tourists have disappeared in the forest and their whereabouts are unknown, including three children.

The police have sufficient evidence to prove that the culprit behind the disappearance of tourists is the Blair Witch.

The local police officially issued a wanted warrant for the Blair Witch, offering a reward of up to 5 US dollars. Anyone who provides clues can receive hundreds or thousands of dollars in rewards.

For example, the president of the Massachusetts Paranormal Research Association warned everyone not to participate in witch hunts, as doing so would anger the witches, and once the witches were angered, terrible things would happen.

The president of the association also said that witches like to live in seclusion in dense forests and will not actively attack ordinary people except those who harass her.

For example, when a reporter was interviewing the small town of Wilton, a woman stood up and said that the Blair Witch was her mother. Her mother just had some mental illness and liked to wander around in the woods. She was not the witch in the legend.

The reporter's request to interview her mother was rejected.

After the police announced a warrant for the witch Blair, women's rights organizations stood up and asked the government to ban this practice. The "witch trial" that took place in Massachusetts 300 years ago resulted in the deaths of hundreds of people, most of whom were women.

Now the police have rashly announced a witch hunt without solid evidence. This is neither reasonable nor legal, and is also a persecution of women.

This behavior should be strictly prohibited.

After reading the news about the Blair Witch, many people also hope that the police will find the Blair Witch to see whether this witch is real or fake.

With the joint hype of many media, the "Blair Witch" incident attracted national attention and became the hottest social news at the beginning of the year.
