Chapter 181 Seven Deadly Sins Filming Begins

Boom boom boom!
"Please come in!"

In the office, Link put down the pen in his hand, rubbed his wrist and looked at the person standing at the door of the office. Sofia Coppola walked in in a Chanel dress.

"Sophia, why are you here?"

"Look at you, workaholic."

Sophia walked up to him and hugged him.

"I'm not a workaholic. When I have free time, I go to bars, play golf, and watch movies in the cinema. Is there any workaholic as leisurely as me?"

"I bet you go to bars, play golf, and even go to the movies for work?"

Sophia said with a smile.

"Well, it does have a certain work nature. If you just go to the bar and drink, that would be boring."

"That's it. Every time I talk to Monica about you, she says you work from 9am to 6pm every day, and sometimes you even work overtime at night. You're the hardest-working guy I know."

"I have been busy lately. Final Destination is about to be released, and the new movie Seven Deadly Sins is about to start filming. There are other things to do in the company, so I can't rest for the time being."

Link and Sophia sat in the coffee room and chatted, and the new assistant Annie brought two cups of coffee.

Sophia said, "You are such a strange guy, someone your age, if they were as successful as you are, they would definitely be eating, drinking and having fun and enjoying life right now."

Link laughed and said, "I like movies. I am busy with things related to movies every day, just like a drug addict taking drugs. I am also enjoying life this way."

"What about your rumored girlfriends? You're so busy every day and don't have time to spend with them. Aren't you worried that they'll fall in love with someone else?"

"You've fallen in love with someone else? If that's true, I'll be very sad."

"I'm not your rumored girlfriend. I'm your good friend and work partner. I'm different from them, right?"

Sophia laughed.

"Well, it's like this. They understand me just as well as you do. They don't need me to accompany them every day, and I don't have to worry about them falling in love with someone else."

Link shrugged.

His purpose of finding a girlfriend is to enjoy himself, not to lock himself up with a few locks and add burden to himself. If someone wants to fall in love with someone else, he will not try to keep her.

In America, as long as you have money and status, you will never lack beautiful women even if you are in your seventies or eighties.

However, given his current identity and status, you can get a lot of free resources by following him, but you will get nothing if you leave him.

Not to mention that he is young, handsome and generous.

No one would leave on their own initiative at this time.

Link talked to Sofia about the filming plan of "Seven Deadly Sins" again.

Sofia still works as an assistant director on this film.

Sometimes when Link is too busy, Sofia will take over the management of the crew.

So before filming, some work matters needed to be explained clearly to her.

Sofia arrived at around ten in the morning, and the two of them were so engrossed in talking about work that they didn't notice that they were chatting until after five in the afternoon.

Sofia complained that he was too devoted to his work and infected her with workaholic syndrome, and demanded compensation from him.

Link invited her to dinner, but Sofia said that was not enough and took him to her apartment to spend the night, where Milla Jovovich was also there.

He played a game of 'Guess What' with the two of them.

The game is difficult and requires a lot of exercise.

However, after multiple strengthenings, the body became very strong.

The next day he got up and went to work as usual.

In October, the first trailer of "Final Destination" was released, and Link also brought the director team to New York to film.

New York is the capital of crime. Under its prosperous appearance, it hides evil and ugliness. It is very suitable as the background of a crime movie. In addition, New York is relatively humid in this season, with a lot of graffiti on the streets, dark corners, and chaotic neighborhoods. It fits the setting of the movie story very well.

The film tells the story of the old detective William Shamsey, who is 7 days away from retirement, and the new detective David Mills, who has only been on the job for 1 day.

When they first met, a murder occurred in a residential area in New York City. A fat man weighing more than 400 pounds had his hands and feet tied up, and kept eating spaghetti sauce, and was eventually starved to death.

Before the two could find out the truth, the second murder occurred. A wealthy defense lawyer was killed. The murderer spilled the lawyer's blood and wrote the word "greed" in the blood.

When the old detective returned to the fat man's residence to investigate, he also found the word "gluttony" behind the refrigerator.

Based on these two words, the old detective William immediately thought of the famous saying in "Paradise Lost": the seven deadly sins of Christianity - gluttony, greed, laziness, anger, pride, lust and envy.

He believes that there will be five more murders, each linked to another commandment, but the new detective Mills doesn't believe it.

As they continued their investigation, the two found many fingerprints on the wall based on the traces of paintings being moved in the lawyer's office. These fingerprints formed the word "help".

After comparing fingerprints, the police found that the owner of the fingerprint was a drug dealer named Victor. Victor had committed multiple crimes and suffered from mental illness, which best fit the description of the murderer.

The police immediately dispatched people to surround the drug dealer Victor's apartment. After rushing into the apartment, they found a battered man lying on the bed in the bedroom. It was the drug dealer Victor.

According to the doctor's examination, Victor had been imprisoned and abused for a year and suffered all kinds of cruel punishments, but he still did not die.

There is also a word 'lazy' on the wall of Victor's apartment.

This time everyone began to believe the old detective William's guess that the murderer was a perverted religious lunatic who performed some kind of religious ritual by killing people.

After learning this, old William and new detective Mills borrowed information from the library and set their sights on reporter John Doe.

John Doe was also the murderer of three murders, and a battle for inheritance broke out between the two sides in front of John Doe's apartment.

Mills was injured and John Doe escaped successfully.

Old William and Mills found a photo of a blonde woman in the murderer's apartment and thought that she would be the murderer's next target. However, when they found the blonde woman, she was already dead. She was tied to a chair by the murderer and raped to death with a barbed dagger.

The word 'lust' was written next to it.

On the day that old William retired, the murderer called and told the two that he had killed another person.

When the police arrived, a young and beautiful woman was found dead in bed, with a cell phone in one hand and sleeping pills in the other. The woman's face was scratched.

The writing on the wall is 'pride'.

Old William decided to retire after finishing this case. On the same day, the murderer John Doe came to the police station to turn himself in. His body was covered in blood and all his fingerprints were peeled off.

Although the police caught the murderer, there were no fingerprints and the murderer's method of committing the crime was like that of a psychopath. So even if he was caught, he would be released by the court as a psychopath.

The murderer put forward a condition that as long as old William and Mills agreed, he would confess all his crimes.

Old William and Mills agreed and went to the suburbs under the guidance of John Doe. As soon as they arrived, the Huolala driver delivered a box.

After old William opened the box, he found the head of Mills' wife Tracy inside. The Mills couple loved each other very much, and his wife was pregnant.

When old William was opening the box, John Doe told Mills the truth, saying that he killed his wife because he was jealous that Mills had a good wife and a happy family.

Mills, in a rage, shot and killed John Doe several times.

John Doe died for "jealousy", one of the seven deadly sins, and Mills was arrested and imprisoned for "rage", living in pain all his life.

The murderer John Doe eventually used his life to complete the 'seven deadly sins of Christianity' - gluttony, greed, sloth, anger, pride, lust and envy.

This moment has become art.

The director of "Seven" is Link, and the screenwriter is Andrew Kevin Walker, the screenwriter of the restored script.

The main actors include Morgan Freeman, Ben Affleck, Jennifer Connelly, Kevin Spacey, etc. Except for Ben Affleck and Jennifer Connelly, almost all the others are actors in the original version.

The reason why Ben Affleck was chosen as one of the male protagonists is because he has an outstanding appearance and his acting skills are also good after filming "Final Destination", so he is easier to use.

He also considered Brad Pitt, but Pitt is now an artist under CAA, so it would be inconvenient to use him.
