Hollywood Director 1992.

Chapter 233 Beautiful Woman
"Michelle, congratulations, you've starred in another great movie."

In the booth, Link said while holding a beer.

"Congratulations to you too. Guess What! Speed is also great. Many people are saying that you are amazing and that the movies you invest in rarely lose money."

Michelle Pfeiffer said with a big smile.

The woman was wearing a black sleeveless dress, with long golden-brown hair falling on her shoulders, revealing her slender swan neck and sexy collarbone. Although her figure was not plump, it revealed a skinny beauty.

Link couldn't help but think of the many nights he had spent with her.

He has tasted almost all the gracefulness of a woman, but when he hasn't seen her for a few days, he will still be attracted by the mature and elegant temperament emanating from her sexy body when they meet again. This is the extraordinary feature of a beautiful woman. She is not the kind of fast food on the roadside that you will get tired of after eating it a few times. She is more like a book, the more you read it, the more delicious it becomes.

"It's not as great as you say. It was a lot of luck that I came across Speed this time. If Sandra hadn't come to me with the script, I wouldn't have discovered this project."

Link laughed.

"But you still discovered it and invested in this movie. It won the box office championship despite the joint efforts of the seven major film studios. You are awesome."

Michelle Pfeiffer's eyes were shining with love and admiration. If there wasn't someone around, she wouldn't be able to help but throw herself into Link's arms and offer him a passionate kiss and her fragrant body.

"Well, you two are acquaintances too?"

Winona Ryder next to them felt something was not right. She was more familiar with Link and had met him several times before she and Depp broke up. But after sitting down, Michelle chatted enthusiastically with Link, leaving her, an acquaintance, no chance to interrupt.

She looked at the two of them suspiciously, her delicate face full of desire for gossip.

"Link and I have met many times. Is it strange that we are acquaintances?"

Michelle Pfeiffer smiled slightly.

Winona Ryder snorted. In the past, Michelle Pfeiffer was close to Richard Gere, Dustin Hoffman and others, but Link didn't get along with Richard Gere and others. Logically speaking, the relationship between Link and Michelle Pfeiffer would not be very harmonious.

The fact is that the relationship between the two seems to be very good, and there is a vague ambiguity and affair between their words.

Considering that Michelle is 36 years old and Link is only 22, with a 14-year age difference between them, their relationship is very ambiguous.

Rumor has it that Link likes older women.

Is it true?
Winona stared at the two of them and decided to observe them carefully.

"Winona, what movies are you filming recently?"

Link didn't want Winona to notice anything, so he changed the topic.

Winona shrugged. "I'm not a big star like Michelle. I don't have so many resources. I can only shoot whatever movies are available. How can I be selective?"

Michelle Pfeiffer rolled her eyes at her. "Link asked you what movie you were making, you should just tell me directly, why are you talking so much nonsense."

"Well, I'm currently filming "Love Weaving Dreams", a low-budget romantic comedy, directed by Ms. Jocelyn Morehouse. Are you satisfied with this answer?"

Winona Ryder pouted her lips, looking naughty and playful, but she has a delicate and lovely appearance, so this expression doesn't make people feel disgusted.

"Speak properly! Link is talking to you, why are you making that expression?"

Michelle Pfeiffer tried to pinch her lips, but Winona dodged with a smile, pointed at Michelle and Link and said with a smirk, "I'm increasingly feeling that there's something wrong with you two. Tell me the truth, what's your relationship?"

"It doesn't matter, don't guess."

Michelle tickled her a few times, and Winona burst into laughter. She leaned on Michelle's shoulder and muttered something, which made Michelle's cheeks blush.

Link shook his head. Women’s concerns are indeed different from men’s. Women care more about men, while men pay more attention to work and career.

He was not interested in listening to their whispers and continued chatting with Jerome and Jamalone.

"Hey, Link, you're playing here too."

Director James Cameron and Schwarzenegger walked over and saw that he was there too, so they stopped to say hello.

Link and Director Cameron were neighbors and often saw each other when they lived in the Golden Oak Apartments, so they were considered acquaintances.

Director Cameron and Schwarzenegger are clients of CAA and are also acquaintances of Jamal Maloney.

Link invited the two to sit down and talk.

"Jamie, last time you said that after True Lies, you were going to shoot Titanic. When will it start?"

"True Lies" is a project of Fox Film Corporation and is scheduled to be released at the end of July. It is one of the important projects of the Big Seven Studios to suppress "Se7en". However, the release time of the film is decided by the distribution department of Fox Film Corporation. Director Cameron has no say in the distribution of the film, and Link will not regard him as an opponent.

"It can't be that fast."

Director Cameron gulped down a large glass of beer, wiped the wine stains on his chin, and began to explain the difficulty of shooting this movie.

Initially, Director Cameron planned to use the "Titanic Sinking Incident" to shoot a low-cost love movie, telling a simple love story, to counter those film critics who complained that he could only make action blockbusters and some fancy scenes, but could not shoot delicate art films at all.

Only after learning the entire history of the Titanic was he deeply moved and found that a simple story could not describe the tragedy of the shipwreck and the shock it brought to the world.

So Director Cameron relapsed and asked the screenwriters to rewrite the script, expanding a simple love story into an epic disaster film.

When it comes to filming the movie, director Cameron does not intend to fool the audience. He plans to build a real luxury cruise ship in the style of the original Titanic. According to the original design, the ship is more than 200 meters long, and the layout of the cabin will be in the style of luxury cruise ships at the beginning of this century, which is extremely luxurious.

As he did this, the production cost of the film also rose sharply, from the initial 6000 million US dollars to 1.6 million US dollars.

The cost budget is too high.

The risks also increased sharply.

20th Century Fox is also struggling with whether to invest in this project, and is currently stuck in the approval process.

"Link, this matter is also your fault," said Director Cameron.

"Blame me? What does this have to do with me?"

“When I first talked to you about this film, you asked why we didn’t film the sinking of the Titanic. The 200-meter-long ship disappeared bit by bit on the sea, and the thousands of people on board were powerless to struggle in the face of the disaster, facing the separation of life and death, as well as the test of human nature. That scene must have been very spectacular and very touching.

After listening to your words that day, I couldn't sleep for two days and two nights. I kept thinking about the scene you described. The more I thought about it, the more excited I became. I re-read the original script and felt it was too bad. All the contents in the script combined could not compare to the shocking and heart-touching scene of this scene. So I gave up the original script without hesitation and chose to rewrite the script. I want to make an epic blockbuster. "

Director Cameron shrugged and said, "Because of you, the production cost of this project has become 1.6 million."

"Haha, Link, you do have a responsibility."

Jay Maloney quipped.

Link laughed and said, "So that's what it is. I thought you were complaining that my movie took away Fox Film's box office revenue, which reduced their movie profits and caused them to have tight funds, which led to your movie project not being approved."

"You can't be blamed for this. If anyone is to blame, it's their incompetence and inability to make a good movie."

Director Cameron laughed.

"Jamie, Fox Film has been performing averagely in the past two years, and its funds are tight. It will become more cautious when investing. If your large ship project is not approved by Fox, you can try Guess Film. Guess Film lacks everything else except money to make movies."

Link said.

While he was chatting with director Cameron and others, Michelle Pfeiffer and Winona Ryder were sitting in the audience. When they heard Link say that he lacked everything except money, Winona rolled her eyes, leaned on Michelle's shoulder and muttered, "This guy really acts like a nouveau riche."

Michelle chuckled in response, "Don't you think Link is very attractive? There aren't many people in Hollywood who can say that."

Winona curled her lips and did not refute. Although there are seven major film companies in Hollywood, the presidents of these seven are not the owners of the companies. When investing in super-large film projects, they need to report to the group behind them, and the top management of the group will decide whether to invest.

Link is the boss of the largest independent film company in Hollywood. He has the right to make decisions on all projects, big or small. His power is greater than that of the presidents of the seven major film studios.

This is also the reason why the presidents of the seven major film companies are not ranked as high as the presidents of several major brokerage companies and independent production companies in the "Hollywood Power Rankings".

Winona Ryder looked at Link's young, handsome and imposing face and snorted. This guy was only one year younger than her, how could he become so powerful? He must be a pervert.

Winona leaned close to Michelle's ear and asked if Link was powerful on the boat and if he was a pervert.
Michelle thought of Link's performance and blushed as she gave her a cold look.

"Link, are you serious?"

Director Cameron said solemnly, "The initial budget for the Big Ship project is $1.6 million. After filming begins, the cost may increase and may exceed $1.6 million."

Also because the cost was too high, after revising the script, he did not choose his old employers, Carlock Pictures and Guess What Pictures, but instead sought cooperation with Fox Pictures. Currently, only the seven major film studios can afford a film with a production cost of over 100 million yuan.

When working with an independent production company, it is possible that the film is not completed and the funding chain is suddenly cut off, leaving the entire project unfinished.

"Jamie, I understand your thoughts. The production cost is too high. The risk of this project has become extremely high. The investment may fail. However, I like this story and I believe in your ability. If Fox Film has no intention of investing, you can come to Guess What? Film. I guarantee that the first grant will not be less than 1.2 million. As long as there are no major problems in the subsequent filming, the funds will support the completion of the film. You should know that Guess What? Film is not short of money, and neither am I."

Link spoke with great vigor and a powerful voice, which made it easy for people to believe him.

Director Cameron nodded and stretched out his hand to shake his hand.

“This guy does look pretty cool.”

Winona Ryder couldn't help but sigh as she looked at Link.

"What, are you tempted?"

Michelle Pfeiffer quipped.

Winona's pretty face flashed with embarrassment, and she put her arm around Michelle's shoulders and muttered, "So what if I'm attracted to you? It's normal for women to admire handsome and strong men, okay?"

"Yes, that's normal."

Michelle smiled slightly, looking at Link with more obsession.

After seeing off Director Cameron and Schwarzenegger, the band invited by the club began to perform on stage. Link listened for a while and felt it was a bit noisy, so he prepared to leave early.

Michelle Pfeiffer was also ready to leave, but Winona Ryder got drunk at some point and leaned on Michelle, her fair cheeks stained with two patches of red, and she kept mumbling about having another drink.

Michelle Pfeiffer looked at him helplessly and asked him to help take Winona to her home to rest.

Link had to arrange a car to take Winona to Michelle's house, and he also helped carry Winona upstairs and put her on the bed in the bedroom.

Winona is a little over 50 meters tall, slender and weighs less than kilograms. For a strong man like him, holding her is not much heavier than holding a teddy bear.

After Winona fell asleep, Michelle Pfeiffer came up to him, wrapped her slender arms around his neck and expressed her longing for him, and they walked from the living room to the bedroom next door.

The two started dating in July last year and have gone on dozens of dates, so they are pretty familiar with each other.

Just like driving home at the end of the year, I don’t need a navigation reminder, and I know where to get on the highway, where to turn, where to accelerate, and which road to take to avoid traffic jams.

Just as the car was on the road, the door was suddenly pushed open. Winona Ryder, wearing a white suspender nightgown, was standing barefoot at the door, looking at the two of them with her arms folded. There was still a half-smile on her delicate and playful face, and she didn't look drunk at all.

"Winona, are you pretending to be drunk?"

Michelle covered her chest with a blanket and shouted in shame.

"How are my acting skills?"

Winona Ryder asked with red cheeks.

Michelle Pfeiffer glared at her, pulled her arm and brought her in, leaving the moon hanging alone outside the window, quietly looking at the scattered dresses on the ground and the tireless youth under the rippling blanket.

After a colorful night, Link returned to the company and continued to work.
