Hollywood Director 1992.

Chapter 260: Physical Fitness Increases (Additional Updates Requested)
At the end of the movie screening, Link also received the system's evaluation of the movie.

[The film has been produced and the box office subsidies are being calculated...]

[Host participation is 71.1%, film completion is 92.2%, and film-market compatibility is 78%]

[Rewards: 2.7 times box office subsidy; Director experience +15%; Director physical fitness +20%; Film quality increase +15%]

The system's rating for the movie is no lower than "Seven Deadly Sins".

When Link received the 20% physical strength bonus, he suddenly felt hot, especially in his lower abdomen, as if there was a ball of fire, making him want to find a place to vent.

But the timing wasn't right.

Harvey squeezed over to congratulate him, praised him for making a good movie, and asked him if he wanted to release the movie within the year.

Link said it will be released early next year.

It is too rushed to release it at the end of the year, and a movie of this theme is not suitable for screening during the winter vacation, so it would be more appropriate to release it in March or April next year.

After the preview, Link took the film master tape into the editing studio to watch it again.

After achieving a 15% increase in film quality, "The Butterfly Effect" is close to 100% complete. The film's lenses, lighting and sound effects, as well as special effects, have undergone subtle adjustments to make the details more realistic and refined, and the viewing experience better.

He watched the movie twice, and the anger in his body gradually subsided. A layer of greasy sweat appeared on his body, like melted butter, emitting a faint fishy smell.

Link gave the movie to the staff for safekeeping, went to the office, took a shower, and scrubbed his whole body.

After taking a shower, my body feels relaxed and I feel refreshed.

Link increasingly felt that the benefits of making movies were more worthwhile than making hundreds of millions of dollars.

He decided to shoot "The Sixth Sense" first, and then shoot "Batman 3" after finishing that movie.

If you arrange your work more tightly, you can also get more physical bonuses.

Boom boom boom!
"Come in."

Assistant Lewinsky came in with a stack of script materials and placed them on his desk.

In April and May, he gave Lewinsky a task, asking her to take two or three screenwriters to Columbia Pictures to read scripts and summarize the scripts they had read in concise language so that he could review them in his spare time.

The screenwriter team led by Lewinsky did a good job. They read more than 2,000 scripts in more than three months. He also discovered many familiar movies among them, including "Primal Fear", "The Fifth Element", "Charlie's Angels", "The Mask of Zorro" and other well-known movies.

“How many scripts did you sort through last month?”

Link asked as he looked through the information.

"417. We have reviewed all the scripts at Columbia Pictures except for the ones they are unwilling to show."

"Well done."

Link took the file and flipped through it. Although he didn't see many familiar scripts, the main content and creativity of each script were summarized by Lewinsky and others in concise and accurate language. If he wanted to find a script in the future, he could just look at these materials.

In addition, Lewinsky would use a computer for work, and there was a copy of this information on the company's computer. If people in the company wanted to find a script in the future, they could also use the computer to search and browse, which seemed very convenient.

"Boss, how's it going?"

Lewinsky sat at the desk, with her arms and the burden in front of her placed on the table, blinking her big eyes at him, with a hint of anticipation in her eyes.

"Very good. I will inform Annie and give you a year-end bonus according to the standards for formal employees."

"thank you boss!"

Lewinsky hesitated and said, "Boss, my internship at the company is about to end. I want to continue to work at the company after I graduate from college and continue to be your assistant. Is that okay?"

"Your major is more suitable for entering politics. Don't you consider a career in politics?"

"Compared to politics, I would rather join a large, dynamic and competitive company like Guess What?, where I can better utilize my strengths."

"Okay, Monica, considering that you have performed well during your internship, the company welcomes capable employees like you to join us."

"Thank you, boss! I promise to work hard and serve you wholeheartedly in the future."

Lewinsky jumped up in surprise, ran over to hug him and kissed his face.

Link waved his hand and told her not to get too excited and to focus on preparing for graduation. After she officially started working, there would be many things for her to do.

Lewinsky nodded excitedly, and the big thunder on her chest kept shaking, which looked a little cute.

"Link, how was today's screening?"

As soon as Lewinsky left, Liu Xiaoli walked in with a folder.

She was wearing a women's shirt and a knee-length skirt. She originally had a good figure, just over 1.7 meters tall, with a slim waist and long legs. After dating Link for more than two years, her living conditions became better, and her figure gradually became fuller and more curvy, and her skin became whiter and smoother.

In addition, she has been working in the public relations department for more than a year, giving orders every day, and her overall temperament has become outstanding. When she is at work, she is like a cool and arrogant queen + a female elite in the workplace.

Compared to two or three years ago, she is much more beautiful. "Very good, almost all the reviews are positive."

"You changed clothes? With Lewinsky?"

Liu Xiaoli squinted her beautiful peach blossom eyes and looked him up and down, with some resentment on her pretty face.

"What are you thinking about? I was just reviewing a film in the editing studio. I was sweating all over. I came back to take a shower and change clothes. What's the problem? You don't think I'm messing around in the office, do you?"

"No need to explain. I don't mean to control you. I just think that the office is a place for work. We should be more serious and not do some messy things. If they spread out, it will have a bad impact."

Liu Xiaoli said perfunctorily.

Link shook his head, pushed her shoulders to the trash can, picked up a T-shirt and let her smell it. Liu Xiaoli almost fell over, and quickly took two steps back, saying in disgust, "Why is there such a smell? Did you fall into the toilet?"

"Stinky man, that's the smell. Do you still suspect that I'm messing around in the office?"

"Who doubted you? I am just a subordinate, advising you not to do anything that would damage the company's morale. This is also for the sake of the company and your reputation. I am the head of the public relations department, and it is my responsibility to maintain your good reputation."

"Well said! You are the only one in this company who dares to control me."

Link grabbed the peach-shaped bulge on the skirt. Liu Xiaoli was not someone to be bullied, so she slapped him on the back and scolded him for being "lustful".

"what is this?"

Link pointed to the folder on the table.

"Work."

Liu Xiaoli pulled out a chair and sat across from the desk, “In the past few weeks, there have been a number of murders in North America, and the victims were mostly homeless people, streetwalkers, and drug addicts.

Originally these cases had nothing to do with us, but many tabloids claimed that the murderers in these cases were fans of "Seven" and they were imitating John Doe to kill people. "Seven" instigated murders. Many mainstream media reprinted and reported on this matter, and our company also encountered a public opinion crisis.

In order to eliminate these negative news, our public relations department was busy for many days and spent some money on publicity. "

Link opened the folder and took a look. He had spent more than two million dollars on public relations. More than two million dollars could buy him a nice villa in Los Angeles.

"Did Michael Ovitz do this?"

"Not sure. Let's guess. We are the most profitable company in Hollywood right now. There are so many forces hostile to us that it's hard to pinpoint who they are."

"Even if it's not Michael Ovitz, he's his ally. Put the blame on him first."

Link tapped the folder and began to think about how to fight back against Michael Ovitz and others. He couldn't just lose money while his opponents were fine, as that would make them seem too easy to bully.

"Affected by these news, our company's image has been damaged to a certain extent. I suggest that we continue to carry out public relations and maintain the corporate image. This is our plan."

Liu Xiaoli turned to another page.

After looking at it, Link suggested that the company donate to multiple charitable organizations, including women and children protection organizations, homeless rescue foundations, animal protection organizations, etc., with an estimated cost of 120 million US dollars.

Through these charitable activities, a positive image of the company can be promoted.

After looking at it, Link crossed out projects such as helping the homeless and environmental protection, leaving only funds for women and children's organizations and treating children's diseases, and also added the China Hope Project and the China Red Cross.

"I plan to set up a charity foundation to be responsible for all charitable donations under my name. The main direction of future donations will be in China, including building schools, helping out-of-school children return to school, and helping poor disabled children. What do you think?"

"Great! I'm rooting for you."

Liu Xiaoli looked at him with sparkling eyes and a smile on her lips.

“If you are interested, you can come to the foundation to work part-time and we can do charity together.”

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Liu Xiaoli blinked her beautiful peach blossom eyes and asked half seriously and half jokingly, "You like children so much, why don't you have one yourself?"

"How can I give birth by myself? How about you help me?" Link said with a smile.

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Liu Xiaoli rolled her eyes at him, her cheeks flushed like the rouge on a bride's cheeks.

"I'm serious, Sister Xiaoli, how about helping me have a few children in the future?"

Link held Liu Xiaoli's white and tender fingers and smiled.

Liu Xiaoli's cheeks turned even redder. She stood up and walked out with the folder in her hand. "If you weren't so lewd, I would consider it."

"Okay, let's have ten."

Click! Liu Xiaoli tripped over her high heels and almost fell to the ground.

She steadied herself, turned back and glared at him in embarrassment, then walked away with the folder in her arms.
