"What should I do? Should I fight back?"

Robert Downey Jr. asked with a dark face.

"How to fight back? The Los Angeles Times conducted more than 2000 questionnaires and came to this conclusion, which is difficult to overturn. Moreover, we have seen The Witch before and it is indeed not very good. This shows that we have the same views as the highly educated audiences. The audiences with lower education prefer this kind of movie."

Kiefer Sutherland said.

"I'm not talking about the newspaper, I'm talking about Link."

"Link, what does this have to do with him?"

David Duchovny asked.

"Of course it is related. It is very related. Last time I said that The Witch copied the production and promotion model of Paranormal Activity from beginning to end. Now that The Witch has made money, Link cannot get the copyright fee. He must be very unhappy.

He was upset, so he tried to suppress the film. And seeing us publicly support The Witch made him even more upset, so he published this investigative report through the Los Angeles Times, suppressing The Witch and making us look bad. Looking at the content of the article, he did it.”

Robert Downey Jr. frowned and spoke in a heavy tone.

"Is that so?"

"What a great way to kill two birds with one stone. Link is so cunning."

Kiefer Sutherland and David Duchovny slapped their thighs in anger.

"Then what should we do?"

"Yes, Donnie, you are the smartest. You should think of a way to fight back against Link and embarrass him for once."

Robert Downey Jr. stroked his stubble and thought for a while, but couldn't come up with a good idea. He tactfully told the two that he needed to think about it for a while and would give them an answer tomorrow.

After the two left, Robert Downey Jr. immediately called his agent Jamie Ritchie and asked him to come up with a good way to resolve the current public opinion crisis and not let fans mistakenly think that his cultural level is not high.

Jamie Rich reluctantly agreed and advised Downey to focus more on promoting the new movie instead of keeping an eye on Link all day. He and the company would handle the matter.

Robert Downey Jr. said impatiently, "I know, I know."

But they didn't have time to start public relations to save face for Robert Jr. and others.

The Hollywood Reporter then broke the news - according to reliable sources, Triangle Entertainment, the distributor of "The Blair Witch Project", had been acquired by Guess Pictures in February.

In other words, "The Witch" is a movie released by a company under Guess Pictures.

From this point of view, Link is very likely to be the director of this film and the person responsible for its promotion and distribution.

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"

Richard Gere clenched his fists and shook with anger.

He really hopes that this is fake news, but the acquisition of Triangle Entertainment by Guess What Pictures has been confirmed by the original shareholders and employees of Triangle Entertainment: At the end of last year, Guess What Pictures began to contact Triangle Entertainment to discuss the acquisition. After several rounds of negotiations, the two parties reached an agreement at the beginning of the year. Triangle Entertainment became the distribution company of Guess What Pictures and was responsible for the distribution of "The Witch".

However, the relevant information was deliberately concealed by Guess Pictures and has not been made public for the time being.

The former employee of Triangle Entertainment spoke with such certainty that it didn't sound false at all.

What made Richard Gere even more embarrassed was that The Hollywood Reporter detailed Link's schedule last year and found that Link did not appear in the public eye for eight days in early November last year. During those eight days, he had plenty of time to shoot "The Blair Witch Project".

The Hollywood Reporter also reprinted a local report in Illinois, where Link appeared last November, along with Sofia Coppola.

Meanwhile, in September and October of last year, Link and Sofia Coppola were often seen together, with Sofia Coppola also appearing several times in Guess What Films.

From the above points, it can be seen that this movie is very likely to be a work directed jointly by Link and Sofia Coppola.

"Damn it! You all deserve to die."

Richard Gere picked up the ashtray and smashed it on the ground in anger.

When he thought about how he had once praised Link's movie, he wanted to crawl into the ground.

"Richard, you scared me."

Cindy Crawford patted her plump chest and complained. "Humph!"

Richard Gere had a ferocious expression on his face and snorted coldly as he left the villa.

"This is real?!"

"Damn it Link, we got fooled again."

When Robert Downey Jr., Kiefer Sutherland, Dustin Hoffman and others saw this investigative article, their expressions were distorted with anger and they looked unrecognizable.

Originally, they wanted to use "The Blair Witch Project" to attack Link and prevent him from having the upper hand, but they didn't expect that this movie was also shot by Link, and "The Blair Witch Project" was a movie produced by Guess What? Pictures.

They also help Link promote movies and make money.

“It’s really abominable.”

Robert Downey Jr. swung his fist and slammed it hard against the wall, but even breaking his fist did not satisfy him.

Kiefer Sutherland said with a dark face, "Someone broke the news that Ed Merrick joined Guess What Films at the end of last year and worked as an assistant in the production department. Ed Merrick is very likely a shield set up by Link, so the director of this movie is very likely to be Link. We were fooled."

"So that's how it is. Link is a celebrity. If he'd signed as the director, everyone would have known that The Blair Witch Project was a sham and wouldn't have gone to the cinema to watch it. If it was Ed Merrick, there wouldn't have been this problem. This guy is too cunning."

David Duchovny said.

"Link is a bastard. He deceived us and cheated the audience out of more than 100 million US dollars."

Robert Downey Jr. pumped his fist and roared to the sky.

"Can we sue him for fraud?"

Kiefer Sutherland said.

"Yes, we can sue him for fraud."

Robert Downey Jr. rushed to the phone, picked up the phone and called his lawyer, asking if he could use this to sue Link, asking him to compensate the audience for their economic losses, or even better, send him to jail.

The lawyer said no, first of all there was no solid evidence to prove that Link was related to the film, nor could it prove that Ed Merrick was not related to the film.

Secondly, Ed Merrick is from Guess What Pictures. During the filming of "The Blair Witch Project", as long as he participated in the filming of the movie, even if he just touched the camera, the movie had something to do with him.

In addition, the Constitution stipulates that citizens have the freedom to create. Even if this movie was shot by Link, he does not want to be named, and he does not have to be named, or even use a stage name. This is not considered illegal.

"Damn it! Damn it!!"

Robert Downey Jr. hangs up the phone angrily.

When Kiefer Sutherland and David Duchovny heard that they could not sue Link for fraud, they were furious and called Link despicable.

“Haha, that’s really funny.”

Julia Roberts couldn't help laughing as she watched the three people's expressions change.

Before reading the newspaper, they were planning to contact Triangle Entertainment and director Ed Merrick to discuss jointly promoting "The Blair Witch Project" and collect some commissions from it afterwards.

But they didn't expect that Triangle Entertainment had long been acquired by Guess Pictures. "The Blair Witch Project" was Link's movie. They had always regarded Link as their rival, but they helped Link promote the movie and helped Link make a lot of money.

This is very interesting to think about.

"Shut up!"

Robert Downey Jr. and Kiefer Sutherland yell at Julia Roberts together.

"Link's movie is a big hit, and he's gained fame and fortune, but you guys got nothing and can only sit here and sulk. Haha, this is so funny."

Julia Roberts smiled, picked up her bag and left the villa without looking back.
