Hollywood Director 1992.

Chapter 191 Coming to seek revenge
"Link, the newspaper said that you won a big bet against Tom Cruise and Richard Gere. Congratulations, you are amazing."

"Yes, the newspapers also said that your movie could make $400 million or $500 million. You and your movie are incredible."

New York - In a restaurant in midtown Manhattan, Link is having dinner with six main actors from the "Friends" crew.

During the filming of "Se7en", because the crew was not far from the set of "Friends", Jennifer Aniston often came to visit and became familiar with Link.

Jennifer said that the main actors in the "Friends" crew were all his fans. They often talked about him during filming and invited him to dinner.

Link happened to be free, so he agreed.

After the dinner started, Matt LeBlanc and Matthew Perry kept asking questions like curious babies.

Link smiled and said, "Not that much for now. If we sell the peripheral copyrights in the future, we may have a chance to reach 400 million."

"That's amazing. You make more profit from one movie than many listed companies do in a year," said Lisa Kudrow, who plays Phoebe.

"Every movie that Link made has a high box office and is very interesting. The New York Times described him as a very innovative director, and I agree with that."

said David Schwimmer, who plays Ross.

Courtney Cox, who plays Monica, raised her glass and laughed, "Link has a great eye. When filming Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, Jim Carrey talked about the creative process of this movie. At that time, he couldn't get any roles, was unemployed at home, and had nothing to do every day. With Link's encouragement, he began to create comedies and then wrote the script for Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. At first, he had no confidence in the script and didn't get a response from the film company when he submitted it.

He plucked up the courage to show the script to Link, who not only encouraged him but also gave him guidance on script writing and finally invested in the film.

After the filming of Ace Ventura, we predicted that the film would make around 40 or 50 million dollars, but no one expected that it would get over 100 million dollars at the box office, and Jim Carrey suddenly became a big star. All this was thanks to Link. "

Link said, "Jim Carrey is a man with great comedic talent. The success of Ace Ventura mainly relies on his funny performance, and the good cooperation between you and the other leading actors. My contribution to this film is very limited."

"You are a film investor, and you say you have made no contribution. You are too modest."

Jennifer Aniston smiled sweetly at him.

Link shrugged.

“I think the best thing about Link is the way he promotes his movies.”

Matthew Perry said, "Before Paranormal Activity was released, I saw a lot of supernatural news in the newspapers. Those news were very real. I almost believed that ghosts existed in the world. After the movie was released, I realized it was propaganda. Before and after the release of The Blair Witch Project, newspapers were promoting witches everywhere. I almost believed that witches existed in the world. After The Blair Witch Project was released, I rushed to the cinema to watch it. After I went there, I realized that I was fooled. The camera in that movie was shaking all the time. I almost vomited."

"Why is it always just a little bit short? Why can't you put aside your doubts and completely believe that our world has both ghosts and witches?" Matt LeBlanc said with a squint.

"I have a brain, unlike you who believe everything."

Matthew Perry looked at him with disdain and continued, "Among all these movie promotions, the best one is the one for Final Destination. In order to promote the movie, you formed a pop band and held concerts while promoting it. It's incredible. Variety magazine said that you pioneered a new way of promoting movies."

“But we also received a lot of criticism.”

Link shook his head. Although the idea of forming a band with the leading actors was relatively novel, it was also criticized by both the film and music circles.

Colleagues in the film industry believe that he will do anything to promote his films, and that he is extremely greedy and lacks any artist demeanor.

The music industry believes that the Death Band is messing around. They are a non-professional band that was formed on short notice and their singing and dancing skills are mediocre. They have sold hundreds of thousands of albums relying solely on the popularity of movies, their looks, and a few catchy songs. This is stealing jobs from professional musicians and is also the case of bad money driving out good money. They are ruining the music market and are extremely unethical.

"No matter how they criticize it, Final Destination is still a great movie."

"Yes, the plot of Final Destination is great. If I had known it was so interesting, I shouldn't have given up the role of Bill Sydam. I regret it now."

Matt LeBlanc curled his lips.

Matthew Perry laughed, "Man, you regretted it only after the movie came out. You're so slow to react."

Lisa Kudrow said, "It's a good thing you didn't go. If you played Bill, Final Destination wouldn't have made that much money at the box office."

"Nonsense, my acting is very good. If I play Bill, I will not be worse than Ben Affleck. Don't forget that I was Bill's first choice." Matt LeBlanc patted his chest and said proudly. Link smiled as he listened to the bickering.

After dinner, Link and Jennifer Aniston walked on New York's Fifth Avenue and talked about the filming of "Friends" and Link's new movie "Seven".

Jennifer took his arm and told him many interesting stories about the crew.

Jennifer's lips curled up as she spoke, with a sweet smile.

Chatting with her will make you feel happy and relaxed unconsciously.

When they were near the Manhattan Hotel, bodyguard Wallace suddenly shouted "Be careful" and rushed forward with another bodyguard Bob to block him and Jennifer. Wallace also pulled out a pistol.

Link pulled Jennifer back to the rear of the car.

Through Wallace's shoulder, Robert Downey Jr. was seen rushing towards him from afar. He was wearing a tattered windbreaker, his hair was disheveled, and his chin was covered with stubble. He was probably addicted to drugs, his face was pale, his nose was runny, and he walked unsteadily.

Although he was in a very poor state, the anger and cruelty in his eyes were still sharp.

Link took a look and took out his phone to call the police.

"Link, come out here, you damn bastard. Because of you, I am now bankrupt and have nothing. It's all because of you. I'm going to kill you."

Robert Downey Jr. clenched his fists and shouted angrily.

Link ignored him.

"Come out, you coward. Don't hide there if you have the guts. Let's go one on one and see who dies faster."

Robert Downey Jr. roared with his hands in his pockets.

Link shook his head. "You are a multimillionaire and I am a multi-billionaire. Why do you think you can fight me one on one?"

"You coward, you wimp, come out here."

Robert Downey Jr. stared at him with red eyes.

Originally, he wanted to hire a killer to kill Link, but hiring a killer required money, and now he couldn't even take out $10, so he had to borrow the money for the plane ticket from Richard Gere.

He couldn't find the killer, so he had to do it himself.

It’s just that bastard Link was too cautious. He even brought two bodyguards with him when he went shopping outside, so he didn’t stand a chance at all.

Oh oh oh!
A siren sounded from the street in the distance, and the sound gradually became clearer as it got closer.

Seeing that he couldn't find an opportunity, little Robert prepared to turn around and leave.

"and many more!"

Link shook his head and took a step forward. "Little Robert, you are such an idiot. Do you know why you went bankrupt? It was all because of your stupidity. When we made the bet, we only bet 1000 million US dollars. How did it become 7500 million later?
Who on earth is instigating you, a fool, to gamble so big?

I heard that in order to increase the box office of "The Trap", you raised 300 to 400 million yuan. Who persuaded you to do this?
There is another thing you probably don't know. You paid tens of millions of dollars to someone to suppress the reputation of Final Destination. In fact, Michael Ovitz didn't ask you to pay this money, and your money was not used to suppress the reputation of Final Destination. Guess where the money you paid went? "

Robert Downey Jr. was stunned for a moment, with an incredible expression on his face, "Impossible, Richard would not lie to me."

"Don't you have Michael Ovitz's phone number? Whether it's true or not, why don't you call and ask Michael Ovitz in person?"

Link sneered.

Robert Downey Jr. clenched his fists and his whole body was shaking slightly.
