Hollywood Director 1992.

Chapter 220: Taking advantage of the situation
"Cut!"

Link doesn't feel much about the changes in Hollywood. He is still filming "The Butterfly Effect" in Vancouver.

Link watched the footage and called Leonardo to give him some pointers, asking him to be flexible in his performance, to relax when necessary, to tense up when necessary, and not to act too stiffly.

The reason why this movie chose Leonardo as the male lead is because he is handsome, twenty years old this year, and the age is suitable.

In addition, Leo was nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his role in "A Different Sky" at the beginning of the year, and his acting skills are also quite reliable.

He performs even better than the original lead, Ashton Kutcher.

“Leon, if you want to play Evan well, you must first know that this character’s personality is not fixed. Every time you travel back in time, he will experience new changes, including changes in appearance and emotions, and the impact on him is gradually increasing.

Now is the first time before the time travel, Evan is a sunny boy, you need to pay attention to this when performing, and add a little change in the filming, you can really play this role well. "

"Director, I understand."

Leonardo smiled brightly.

"Okay, keep shooting."

The actors returned to the set, the script supervisor clapped the clapboard, and filming continued.

This plot tells the story of the male protagonist Evan who grows up, goes to college, gets excellent grades in all subjects, lives a very happy life, and has not shown symptoms of amnesia for seven years.

Once during a date in the dormitory, his date dragged out a box from under his bed, which contained his past diaries. While reading the diaries, Evan suddenly traveled back to the past.

"Would you like a beer?"

Evan asked as he squatted in front of the small refrigerator in the dormitory.

"Yes!"

The girl searched in his bedside drawer, then lifted the quilt and looked under the bed, "Do you have any fragrances or scented candles or anything like that?"

While looking for something, the girl pulled out a cardboard box filled with many diaries.

"Oh, this won't work."

Evan turned around and saw the girl looking through her journal.

"Most boys put pornographic videos under their beds. You put a diary?"

The girl sat on the bed and laughed.

"Yes, this is my diary. I have been keeping a diary since I was seven years old."

"Wow!"

The girl picked up a diary and said, "Read a paragraph to me."

Evan hesitated and said with a smile, "You can't study for nothing. Let's make a deal."

The girl smiled.

"cut!"

Link looked at the camera and called in actress Jennifer Lopez, who played the female college student, to direct the scene.

Jennifer Lopez is 24 years old this year. She is a Puerto Rican beauty with wheat-colored skin, a curvy figure, and a plump and sexy figure. At present, she is still a new actress, not the Latin queen she will become later.

"Jennifer, the character you play, Sarah, is a college student who has a certain affection for Evan and plans to have a long-term relationship with him. Don't act too flirtatious when you are approaching him. Just show some curiosity and appreciation. Be moderate when performing."

"Director, I understand."

Jennifer Lopez bit her lip and looked nervous.

"Relax, I don't eat people."

Jennifer Lopez burst out laughing.

"That's it. Go get ready."

Link waved his hand and asked the crew to continue filming. This time Jennifer Lopez's performance was much better and she passed the set of shots after only two takes.

During the crew's lunch break, Link received a call from Michael Leeson in Los Angeles. Michael mentioned the recent rumors in Hollywood that the seven major studios and several independent production companies were going to join forces to suppress Guess What?.

Link asked if Seven Pictures has any recent action against Guess What?

Michael Leeson said that nothing has been discovered so far, and he does not rule out the possibility that the seven major film studios have already taken action, but he is just guessing that the film studios have not noticed it.

Link asked Michael to continue to pay attention to the developments of the Big Seven Studios.

If any company shows hostility towards Guess What Pictures, it must fight back strongly.

Even if Guess Pictures’ current size cannot threaten the Big Seven studios, it must never show weakness and make people feel that it is easy to bully.

Michael Rison said he understood.

Link thought about it and called Daniel DeVito, asking him to submit the projects of "Hachiko", "The Groom Running Backwards" and "Ace Ventura 2" to Columbia Pictures, Universal Pictures, Paramount Pictures, Disney, Warner Bros., th Century Fox and MGM Pictures, and ask if the seven companies had any intention of cooperation.

He wanted to test whether the seven major film studios were really prepared to join forces to suppress Guess What Pictures.

If this is true, then you should prepare in advance to avoid being too slow and getting beaten.

"Link, do you want coffee?"

"Thank you!"

Renée Zellweger puts her coffee down on her desk.

Renee is the heroine of this play. She was chosen to play this role because she has the temperament of a girl next door, has good acting skills and is hardworking.

Also, although her appearance and figure are also quite outstanding, she is not as aggressive as Monica and Jennifer, and is more in line with the setting of a heroine.

"Reni, you don't have many scenes this week. You don't have to stay on the set all the time. You can go do other work first. When it's your scene, I'll have my assistant call you and let you know."

"I don't have any other plans recently. My main job is to play the role of Kelly well. Of course, if you mind me being too close to you, I can also stay away from you."

Renée Zellweger smiled slightly. The girl had long golden hair and her cheeks were red because of the hot weather. She wore a white art T-shirt and blue hot pants, revealing a slender white waist. She had the sexiness and vitality unique to young girls.

"I don't mind. Without you here, who would give me such delicious coffee?"

Link laughed.

"Just coffee? I can do something else for you, anything, as long as you want."

Renee said seriously.

"Yes, you are very good."

Link pinched her soft cheeks and continued to call Jack Brennan, director of the investment department of Flash Gold Capital, asking him to buy Disney shares from the stock market, starting with about 2%.

Currently, the internal struggle of Walt Disney is intensifying. The three leaders, Chairman Frank Welsh, CEO Michael Eisner, and Chairman of Walt Disney Animation Studios Jeffrey Katzenberg, are fighting for power and profit.

Dissension among Disney executives has resulted in poor box office performance for its films in recent years and a drop in Disney's stock price, from its peak of $1992 billion in 260 to the current $195 billion.

This is a low period for Walt Disney, and it is also a good time to buy shares.

In the future, Disney's market value will be as high as two or three hundred billion US dollars. It is the most powerful film and television entertainment company in Hollywood. It is very cost-effective to buy Disney shares now.

He plans to gradually buy about 10% of Disney shares in the next ten years to become a major shareholder of Disney, further control Disney's board of directors, influence Hollywood through Disney, and even control the Hollywood film industry.

It would cost about $1 million to $ million to acquire % of Disney shares, which could be borrowed from a bank first.

Flash Gold Capital owns shares in Microsoft, Cisco, UTA, Marvel and other companies. These shares are worth 1.5 to 1.6 billion, so it is not a problem to borrow 300 to 400 million from the bank.

While he was talking business, Renée Zellweger sat across the desk, propping her cheek up and looking at him without blinking.

Listening to him talking about investments worth hundreds of millions of dollars, as casually as buying coffee, her heartbeat and breathing could not help but speed up, and her face became even more rosy.

She glanced at the door, pursed her lips, pulled her long hair back, and slowly squatted in front of the chair.

Link hummed softly, ruffling the girl's hair and continuing to talk on the phone.
