Hollywood Director 1992.

Chapter 292 Golden Globe Awards, there is an inside story, do you want to hear it?

In late January, Link, Monica and Jennifer returned to Los Angeles to attend the 52nd Annual Golden Globe Awards for Film and Television.

This year's Golden Globe Awards will still be held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

A total of five films under Guess What Pictures were nominated, including "Seven", "Good Will Hunting", "Eat Drink Man Woman", "The Mask" and "Léon: The Professional", with a total of 5 nominations.

Among them, "Se4en" won four awards, including Best Picture - Drama, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Screenplay.

Good Will Hunting won three awards: Best Picture, Best Actor, and Best Screenplay.
"Eat Drink Man Woman" and "Léon: The Professional" were nominated for Best Foreign Language Film, and "The Mask" was nominated for Best Actor in a Comedy or Musical.

Just guessing, the movies under the film industry have bad luck, with 10 wins out of 0 nominations.

The biggest winners of this year's Golden Globe Awards were "Forrest Gump" and "The Lion King". The former won three major awards including Best Picture, Drama, Best Actor, and Best Director, while the latter won Best Picture, Musical or Comedy, Best Original Song, and Best Original Score.

Quentin Tarantino won the Best Screenplay Award for Pulp Fiction.

"Haha, Link, look at my trophy. It seems like the goddess of luck favors me more today."

Quentin Tarantino shook the trophy in his hand and smiled.

"Yes, congratulations, you deserve the award."

"Haha, you're not bad either. You're the youngest best director in the history of the Berlin Film Festival. You're really lucky."

Quentin said sourly.

"Quentin, you are wrong. Link is not only the best director at the Berlin Film Festival, but also won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. This shows that he won the award not because of luck, but because of his ability."

Jennifer Connelly said as she took Link's arm.

Link smiled and praised Jennifer for what she said.

Quentin curled his lips and asked, "Is it great to have a beautiful girlfriend?"

Every time he wanted to make fun of Link, the women around him would take the initiative to help him without Link having to open his mouth to refute. This made him very unhappy. He didn't understand what these women were thinking. Why would they leave a man like him who was both talented and loyal, and instead love a scumbag like Link, and be devoted to him.

"Link, you are so brave. You dare to bring Jennifer to the Golden Globe Awards when the rumors in the media haven't died down yet. Aren't you afraid of being spit on and drowned?"

Quentin remembers that Link's only publicly acknowledged girlfriend was Monica Bellucci.

"Don't worry, I haven't done anything bad."

Link said nonchalantly.

The Hollywood circle is quite chaotic. There are people who have been to jail, take drugs, drive drunk, cheat on their partners, and have affairs openly. It's all kinds of weird things.

Also because it is so chaotic, people are more tolerant of public figures.

There are many playboys like Link in Hollywood.

For example, Howard Hughes, the Hollywood tycoon and 'Iron Man prototype' in the 164s and s, had rumored girlfriends, including Oscar-winning actress Katharine Hepburn and legendary actress Jane Russell;
Oscar-winning director and famous actor Warren Beatty is rumored to have 12775 girlfriends, including hundreds of stars, including Elizabeth Taylor, Vivien Leigh and others.

Although their private lives are rather messy, no one blames them for it. Instead, they think they are attractive and hope to date them.

The same goes for Link. After his scandal broke out, some media called him the 'second Warren Beatty'. If he were richer and more powerful, the media might call him the 'second Howard Hughes'.

It’s just that Link wants to be the best in the world.

After chatting with Quentin for a while, Link saw Harvey Weinstein coming over and congratulated him as well.

This year, Miramax Films released 12 films, three of which were shortlisted and received 11 nominations, and finally won two awards, Best Screenplay - Pulp Fiction, and Best Supporting Actress - Bullets Over Broadway.

"Haha, Link, there's an inside scoop, do you want to hear it?"

Harvey Weinstein said with his big belly and toad-like grin.

"Speaking!"

"According to the information I received, originally Guess What Pictures' films were expected to win at least two awards, but the seven major studios didn't want to see your films become more famous, so they secretly worked to lobby the judges not to vote for Guess What Pictures' works. This resulted in all four of your nominated films being runners-up." Upon hearing this, Harvey Weinstein had a meaningful smile on his face and an elusive light flashed in his eyes.

"Really? Link, did you get the message?"

Quentin asked.

Link nodded. During the Golden Globe Awards period, the public relations department also received relevant news that the seven major film studios were going to tamper with the awards.

But Link didn't care much about it. Guess what, the main target of the film industry's public relations is the Oscars. Without spending money on public relations for the Golden Globe Awards, it is foreseeable that the award would be ruined in the end.

"Link, why don't you sell the company? We are directors, and our main job is to make movies. There is no need to start a film company. Look, you are almost becoming the public enemy of Hollywood because of Guess What?"

Quentin said.

"Don't you have Outlaw Films, too?"

"It's different. Outlaw Films only invests in the movies I make, and Your Guess What Films had a total box office of $800 million to $900 million last year, making more money than the Big Seven. Our two companies cannot be compared."

"If Outlaws also invests in movies and earns hundreds of millions of dollars in box office revenue every year, would you sell your company to the Big Seven?"

"This"

Quentin thought about it and shook his head decisively. If Outlaw Films could make hundreds of millions of dollars every year, he would grit his teeth and hold on for a few more years. After all, that was hundreds of millions of dollars.

"Link, sit down and talk. I have something else to talk to you about."

Harvey Weinstein was too fat and sweat appeared on his forehead after standing for a while, so the two sat down and talked.

Harvey told Link that after the scandal ended, Big Seven Pictures had not given up its plan to suppress him and Guess What Pictures, and that Guess What Pictures would definitely be affected in terms of film production and promotion.

So Harvey proposed that the two companies establish a closer cooperative relationship and jointly invest in films, with Guess Pictures responsible for production and Miramax Films responsible for promotion and distribution.

The Big Seven will target Guess What movies, but not Miramax movies.

This method can avoid the suppression of the seven major film studios.

Link smiled. Recently, not only Harvey contacted him, but also New Line Cinema, TriStar Film Distribution under Columbia Pictures, Searchlight Pictures under Fox Film, United Artists Pictures under MGM, etc., all contacted him, hoping to distribute movies for Guess What Pictures.

Completely ignoring the fact that the Big Seven studios were suppressing him.

They do this for the purpose of making money.

Everyone in the industry knows that Guess the Movies can make a lot of money.

By distributing movies from Guess the Movies, as a distributor, you can also get a share of the pie.

Link knew what these people were planning, and wanted to use this to deal with the Big Seven Studios.

So he did not immediately reject Harvey's proposal, saying that he would wait and see the situation. If the Big Seven Studios pushed too hard and the film could not be released normally, he would consider cooperating with Miramax.

Harvey immediately asked him to hand over "The Butterfly Effect" to Miramax for distribution, guaranteeing that the film would be a big hit.

Link regretfully told Harvey that the film had already started promotion and was scheduled to be released in April, and if Harvey was interested, he could give his other films to Miramax for distribution.

Harvey laughed dryly and agreed.

After Link left, Harvey Weinstein sneered while smoking a cigarette, "It seems that the pressure from Michael Ovitz and Big 7 Pictures on Link is not enough, so that he still has illusions about victory and wants to withstand the suppression of Big 7 Pictures on his own."

"We're helping Link?" Bob Weinstein asked.

"help him?"

Harvey shook his head. "It's obvious that the Big Seven are serious about dealing with Guess What This time, they are ready to invest more resources to deal with Guess What. With the Big Seven joining forces, Link and Guess What have you got no chance of winning. In this case, Miramax can only choose the Big Seven instead of being the one that is doomed to fail."

Bob nodded approvingly.
