Hollywood Director 1992.

Chapter 209 Daily work routine
Since he was listed on Forbes, more and more people of the opposite sex have contacted him, and Brooke Shields is one of them.

Because they lived nearby and Brooke Shields was also quite pretty and sexy, Link had played ball with her a few times, so they were considered acquaintances.

However, Link decided to sleep alone and did not reply to the message.

The next day, when jogging in the morning, Brooke Shields caught up with her from behind. She was wearing a light green sports suspenders and brown yoga pants. Her plump bust and long round legs made her look very sexy. Her long brown curly hair was tied into a ponytail, which swayed left and right with her lively steps, giving her the look of a young and beautiful young woman.

Every time she appeared in public, the wolf-like gazes of the men around her would involuntarily fall on her chest, buttocks and long legs. Only Link would look at her face and blue eyes.

"Good morning, Porgy!"

"Link, were you home alone last night?"

"Yes, I was watching a movie. It was past ten when I saw your message. I didn't reply to you."

"It's okay, I guess you're busy."

Brooke Shields smiled slightly, kept pace with him, and ran forward almost shoulder to shoulder with him.

The other men all looked at Link with jealousy. This guy just had some money, was handsome and young, what was so great about that?

"Do you have time today? Let's play tennis together this afternoon."

Brooke Shields asked.

"I'll probably be off work around four."

"We start playing at 5:30 and can play for more than two hours."

"Okay, then be there at five."

Link and Brooke Shields continued to run in front, and halfway met Jim Carrey and his wife walking on the grass. Jim Carrey saw Brooke Shields next to him and winked at him, as if he had discovered some affair.

While eating breakfast outside, he met Jim Carrey again. Jim Carrey sat opposite him with a plate in his hand, stretched his neck and looked around strangely.
"Where's Miss Brooke Shields?"

"Go home."

"Link, I admire you so much. Not only can you make movies and make money, but your skills in picking up girls are several levels higher than ours. If there is an afterlife, I hope to become your middle finger."

Jim Carrey smiled and raised his two middle fingers.

Link really wanted to punch him, but considering that he couldn't do without that face when acting, he let him go for the time being.

"How is the Mask crew being assembled?"

"It's going smoothly. We plan to start shooting next month and will probably be wrapped up before July." Jim Carrey ate waffles with sour cream, the taste was very strong.

"Who did you choose as the heroine?"

He has been busy with other things recently, and after finalizing a few film projects, the rest of the work will be handed over to several producers in the production department.

The producer of "The Mask" is James Schamus. Jim Carrey is also one of the producers and he is quite familiar with the crew's affairs.

"Cameron Diaz, she was the best at the audition, wait, Link, didn't you know? She's your girlfriend, how could you not know this?"

"Who told you she was my girlfriend?"

"According to gossip, you spotted Ms. Diaz during the casting for Final Destination, and you started dating at that time. Entertainment Weekly said she was one of your fifty-seven girlfriends."

"It's fake. My competitors are slandering me."

"I also think it's unlikely. Even if you have money and time, you can't date 57 girlfriends at the same time. Even if you have a good body, you can't hold on. But if you don't have 57, you have 27, Monica, Brooke Shields, Jennifer"

"Stop! Eat and don't talk!"

Link finished his breakfast in a few bites and drove to work.

There wasn't much work at the company today. Link signed a few documents and talked to Michael Leeson about recruiting new employees.

After the company receives financing, Link plans to expand the production and distribution departments to increase the company's annual output and distribution capabilities, produce more films each year, and improve the company's overseas distribution capabilities.

At the same time, an international film department was established to be responsible for investing in foreign film projects and acquiring foreign films with potential for screening in North America.

Now Guess Films has grown into a leader in the field of independent films, with better performance than MGM, one of the seven major film studios. In this situation, Guess Films can only keep moving forward to maintain its current position. If it retreats, it will be beaten and slaughtered. In his conception, after Guess Films grows stronger, it will acquire the seven major film studios, invest in media groups, and control the publicity and distribution channels.

Only then can we truly gain a foothold in America.

"Link, the director has written the script, take a look."

Sophia came to the office with disheveled hair, bringing with her the director's script of "The Man From Earth", the fruit of her hard work during this period. This was the plan made by the director before filming. If they followed the schedule, the filming process would be smoother.

Link took it and read it through, then highlighted a few problematic parts and discussed them with Sophia.

The structure of "This Man From Earth" is relatively simple. Seven or eight people of different identities gather in a small space and debate based on their own positions.

The filming of the movie is not difficult. The difficulty lies in the actors' ability to interpret their lines and the cooperation between the actors.

As long as Sofia can do these two things well, it won't be difficult to make a good movie.

"There's nothing wrong with the script. Select the actors and prepare for filming first. Come back to me if you encounter any problems."

"it is good!"

Sophia didn't say anything more. She put away the script and left in a hurry, without any intention of being ambiguous with him.

It turns out that once a woman becomes a strong woman, she is no longer cute.

Shortly after Sofia left, Ben Affleck came to visit him and again persuaded him to be the director of "Good Will Hunting".

Link did not agree. "Good Will Hunting" tells the story of a cleaner at MIT who has extraordinary talent for mathematics and is also a problem teenager. Later, under the guidance of the professor, he gradually opens his mind, eliminates the barriers with others, and rediscovers himself, love, and friendship.

The movie contains inspirational stories, humanistic care, love and friendship, and exploration of human nature and self. The story is relatively positive and in line with the main theme of America.

This type of film is likely to attract attention from the Academy.

This is also the reason why the film won the Best Original Screenplay after its release.

Link had initially considered directing the film himself, but currently he focuses on thriller and suspense films, and Good Will Hunting does not suit his style, and he does not plan to make the transition early.

In addition, he did not write the script, so his involvement was not high, and his box office subsidies were not high.

After some consideration, he called and invited the original director Gus Van Sant to direct.

Gus Van Sant is a famous art film director. His representative work is "Unbreakable Sky", starring Keanu Reeves and Joaquin Phoenix, which was released in 1991.

“Is your cooperation with Director Sante not going well?”

“It’s not going very well.”

Ben Affleck curled his lips, "He asked us to revise the script. Do you know how? He wanted the male lead and the male supporting actor to fall in love, and let the male supporting actor die in a construction accident. This revision is too depressing. Even when you open your heart in the end, you don't feel that kind of healing. Do you understand?"

Link nodded. Director Sant prefers and is good at shooting movies about same-sex themes. Several of his existing movies are of this type. When watching "Good Will Hunting", he saw that the male lead and the male supporting actor had a good relationship, so it was inevitable that the old relationship would relapse and a love line would be added between the two.

This kind of change is definitely not acceptable. The original theme of the movie is very healing and positive. It is a movie suitable for everyone to watch.

Changing it to a homosexual-themed movie is like giving up the broad road and taking a narrow path, and the box office of the movie will also be greatly affected.

Even if Matt Damon and Ben didn't say anything, he wouldn't allow such changes.

"I support your decision. The script cannot be changed. You can talk to Director Sant about your ideas. I think Director Sant will agree. If you disagree, come back to me."

"Okay, that's what you said. By the way, I heard that your new movie has started casting. Would you like to consider me and let me continue to be the male lead of your movie? We had a great time working together in Seven Deadly Sins, didn't we?"

Ben Affleck smiled cheekily.

Link didn't even look at him, "Not suitable. The male lead of the new movie is around 20 years old, and you are too old. Your temperament doesn't fit the role setting."

"I'm only twenty-three, how can I be old?"

Ben Affleck pouted and left in disappointment.
