Hollywood Director 1992.

Chapter 195 Award Ceremony
"Director Link, look here!"

"Director Link, some people say that Robert Downey Jr. was instructed by you to hit Richard Gere with his car. Do you agree with this statement?"

"Director Link, there is news that Michael Ovitz also participated in this bet and lost to you. Even Michael Ovitz is no match for you. Many people think that you are the most powerful person in Hollywood right now. What do you think about this?"

On January 1994, 1, the 21st Golden Globe Awards was held at the Hollywood Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles.

Because "Final Destination" directed by Link and "Ace Ventura" starring Monica were very popular last year, the two were also invited to attend the awards ceremony.

Link happened to have some time, so he brought Monica over for a walk.

But when he was walking on the red carpet, the reporters outside the fence saw him coming and suddenly became agitated. They stretched out microphones from behind the white railings and threw one highly topical question after another.

Link held Monica's arm while taking photos on the red carpet. He originally did not intend to answer the reporters' questions, but the reporters' questions became more and more outrageous.

Link stopped and waved.

"Everyone, please be quiet! I can answer your three questions, but the prerequisite is that you must ask them seriously and ask questions that are based on facts. I don't have time to explain rumors that I heard from others, nor do I want to explain them."

"Director Link, I heard that the filming of your new movie has been completed. When will it be released?"

The Hollywood Reporter asked first.

“Around the summer season. The movie is still in production and the specific release schedule will be announced after production is completed.”

"Director Link, I interviewed Mr. Robert Downey Jr. in prison on Wednesday. Mr. Downey told me that the reason he became what he is now is entirely because of you. If he hadn't made a bet with you, he wouldn't have gone bankrupt, and he wouldn't have hit Richard Gere with his car. He said you are a very scary person. Do you agree with what Mr. Downey said?"

asked Los Angeles Times reporter Al Simmons.

"Is this what Robert Downey Jr. said? If it is true, it means he has not yet realized his own mistakes, is unwilling to take responsibility, and wants to shift all the mistakes to others. This is ridiculous and sad."

Link spread his hands.

“Director Link, we have received accurate information that CAA Chairman and President Michael Ovitz also participated in your bet, with a bet of more than $1000 million. Later, the hype of the box office of “The Final Destination” and the suppression of the reputation of “Final Destination” were also led by Michael Ovitz himself.

In this bet, Michael Ovitz and others invested tens of millions and tried their best to win the bet, but still lost to you. After the bet, many people think that your power in Hollywood is now greater than Michael Ovitz. Do you agree with this? "

The Entertainment Weekly reporter asked.

Link laughed and said, “The media commented that Mr. Ovitz is the most powerful person in the entertainment industry, and I agree with this. His power covers all industries in the entertainment industry, including film, television, music, fashion, sports, etc.

I am just a film director. I have no power, even if I have a little. The reason why he lost this time is probably because he underestimated the box office potential of Final Destination and did not invest too much time in the bet. If he invested more resources in the bet, no one in Hollywood could beat him. "

"Director Link, the News reported that you had affairs with dozens of actresses, including Nicole Kidman, Cindy Crawford, and Julia Roberts, and that your conflicts with Tom Cruise, Richard Gere, and others were also related to these scandals. Do you admit this?"

A reporter from The American Inquiry asked.

"This is completely fake news. I have been in Hollywood for two years and filmed four movies. I have been on the set and in the company almost every day. Some of the ladies I have been rumored to have affairs with I have never even met and it is impossible for me to have any contact with them. OK, three questions are over. Goodbye everyone."

Link waved his hand and pulled Monica forward. No matter what the reporters behind him asked, he would not answer any questions.

Entering the Hilton Hotel awards ceremony, the two were seated relatively far back as they had not been nominated.

It’s just that Link is quite famous, so after he sat down, many crew members came over to say hello.

There is director Martin Scorsese from the "The Age of Innocence" crew, and the two leading actresses Michelle Pfeiffer and Winona Ryder.

The film was released in September last year and received four nominations, including Best Picture, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress, and Best Director.

Director Martin Scorsese asked him how his new film was going and what it was about, and he hoped it wouldn't be a thriller. After watching "Final Destination", he canceled two flights and took the train instead.

Link said it was a religious film that encouraged people to be good. Martin Scorsese nodded repeatedly and said this kind of film was better.

Winona Ryder was not familiar with him, so she came over to chat with Monica, but her dark eyes glanced at Link intentionally or unintentionally.

Michelle Pfeiffer was nominated for Best Actress this year and was one of the focuses of the event. There were many people around her and it was not convenient to chat, so she just shook his hand reservedly and stroked his palm with her ring finger.

After Director Martin and others left, Johnny Depp came over to chat with him. This year, the romantic movie "Bonnie and Joon" starring him was nominated for the Best Actor Award in a Drama Film, and it was also the second time he was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor.

Although my career is going well, my personal life is pretty bad.

First of all, there is Rui Fan’s death.

The bar where Rui Fan got into trouble belonged to his property. Rui Fan and others went there for him, and the illegal drugs in the bar were also provided by him.

After Rui Fan got into trouble, the bar was investigated and he was implicated.

Keanu Reeves and others also have grievances against him.

The second was his breakup with Winona Ryder.

There are rumors that there was a third party involved and that both Depp and Winona cheated. There are also reports that the reason for their breakup was that they were too busy on the set and often had no contact for months, and their feelings became weak.

Depp did not say why the two broke up, and Link did not ask further.

Julianne Moore, the supporting actress in "Bonnie and Joon", also came over to say hello, saying that she liked his movies very much and hoped to have the opportunity to work with him.

Link talked about how when he was a waiter at Burger King, he once brought her coffee and received a five-dollar tip from her to express his gratitude to her. At that time, he was very short of money.

Everyone laughed when they heard it.

Emma Thompson, the leading actress of "The Goodbye, Mary," also came over to say hello.

Last year, Emma Thompson's script "Sense and Sensibility" was picked up by James Schamus and is scheduled to be made into a movie, directed by Ang Lee.

After reading it, Link approved the film project.

Emma Thompson has also become a partner of Guess Pictures.

This woman is very lucky this year, with three of her films nominated for the Golden Globe Awards.

"The Goodbye Mr. Right" received five nominations, including Best Actress. The film she starred in, "Much Ado About Nothing," was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Musical Comedy, and "In the Name of the Father" was nominated for Best Supporting Actress.

She is considered to be the most successful British actress in Hollywood at the moment.

Emma Thompson also introduced the supporting actress of Much Ado About Nothing, British actress Kate Beckinsale.

Keanu Reeves plays the third male villain in this movie and was also invited by the organizers, but he has been busy filming "Speed" recently and has no time to attend the Golden Globe Awards.

After Emma Thompson left, director Chen Kaige and supporting actress Gong Li from the "Farewell My Concubine" crew came over to say hello.

The film was released in North America last October and distributed by Miramax Films. It has currently grossed $10 million, setting a record for Chinese-language films in North America.

Although The Wedding Banquet and The Joy Luck Club both had higher box office results than this movie, the dialogue in Farewell My Concubine is purely in Chinese and the story is also set in China, while the dialogues in the latter two movies are mostly in English and the story is set in the United States.

These two can only be considered Chinese films, not Chinese-language films.
