Hollywood Director 1992.

Chapter 293 You are in my arms, but your eyes are looking at him. Have you ever considered my feelings?

At the party, Link took the initiative to find the "Forrest Gump" crew and congratulated them on winning the grand prize at this year's Golden Globe Awards.

Putting aside the artistic level of the movie "Forrest Gump", its storytelling method, the theme designed in the film, and the use of CGI visual effects are also worthy of imitation and learning by many filmmakers.

When Tom Hanks met him, he enthusiastically introduced the crew members to him, and finally invited him to stand in the middle and take a photo with the crew members.

Monica Bellucci also participated in this Golden Globe Awards. Last year, she starred in the biographical film "Ed Wood", which was released in September. Although the box office performance was average, the word of mouth was good and she received three nominations at this year's Golden Globe Awards.

Link also stopped by the "Ed Wood" crew to say hello and chat with director Tim Burton and lead actor Johnny Depp.

Director Tim Burton was the director of the first two Batman films. By the third film, the script he created was too niche and did not meet the requirements of Warner Bros. Pictures, so he was replaced.

Link had no conflicts with him, and considering that Tim Burton was also a very talented director, Link also invited him to work together.

There is also Johnny Depp. Before he started dating Winona Ryder, the two had already broken up completely and Depp had found a new girlfriend, so the two of them could not be considered rivals in love.

However, when Winona Ryder publicly stood up to support him, Depp took the initiative to send him a message, hoping that he would be nicer to Winona because Winona was a very fragile girl.

Link said he would.

Jodie Foster also attended this year's Golden Globe Awards. Last year, she starred in "What a Pity" and received three nominations, including her Best Actress in a Drama.

Link also found her to talk, and through her he met British director Michael Apted and the film's leading actor Liam Neeson.

"I saw you running around at the party, what were you doing?"

Jodie Foster stood in front of him holding a champagne glass, her blue eyes constantly looking at him.

"What do you mean by running around? I'm expanding my network."

"Now the seven major film companies have announced that they are going to ban Guess What Pictures and don't want directors and actors in the industry to work with you. Isn't it too late for you to think about expanding your network now?"

Jodie Foster wrinkled the tip of her straight nose, looking somewhat feminine and cute.

"It is precisely because of the rumors that the Big Seven Pictures are going to ban Guess What Pictures that I came here to actively expand my network. No matter if it is useful or not, I will do it first."

"You are really amazing. You made a movie that won the box office championship, and founded a film company that the seven major film studios joined forces to target. If you continue to do this, Hollywood will be turned upside down by you."

"Do you admire me?"

"No, I just want to stay away from you to avoid rumors about you."

Jodie Foster deliberately took a half step back and smiled playfully.

Just as Link was about to speak, Michael Ovitz came over from the opposite side with a smile on his face. However, the smile was rather stiff, which made people feel that he had bad intentions.

"Haha, Link, congratulations on your film winning the award. Oh, I meant the Berlin Film Festival."

Michael Ovitz laughed.

"It doesn't matter where you win the award, Michael. I heard you're a very busy man. How do you have time to attend the award ceremony?"

"Why can't I come?! Without CAA's participation, the Golden Globe Awards would have half the films missing."

Michael Ovitz snorted.

Link just asked casually, but Michael Ovitz thought he was mocking him, saying that he didn't get a nomination and shouldn't attend the awards ceremony.

"Michael, why do you look like you're here to pick a fight with Link?"

Jodie Foster teased.

Michael Ovitz's mouth twitched, hiding the dissatisfaction on his face.

After the scandal broke out, he once again conveyed his personal attitude to his clients through his agent in the company. He did not want them to cooperate with Guess Pictures, nor did he want them to get too close to Link in private.

As a result, Jodie Foster turned a deaf ear to him and spoke up for Link in front of him. It was really outrageous.

If Jodie Foster had not been a double Oscar winner and a top actress, he would have definitely asked people to ban her as a warning to others.

"Mike, are you really here to quarrel with me? If that's true, I'm sorry, but I have no interest in quarreling with you."

Link joked.

"Humph! I'm not interested in arguing with you. I have something to discuss with you."

Michael Ovitz restrained all unnecessary expressions on his face, his face became cold, and he exuded a sharp aura. Although the power of this Hollywood overlord has declined in the past two years, once he gets serious, his edge is still something that people dare not underestimate.

"Please speak!" "Link, I am here to negotiate with you for the last time on behalf of several investment companies. Regarding the second round of financing for Guess Pictures, we hope that you can take the initiative to lower the price and offer more shares for financing, so that more capital can be injected into Guess Pictures. This will benefit both you and the company. I hope you can accept this proposal."

Michael Ovitz said stiffly.

"What price would you give?"

Link asked.

Hearing his relenting, Michael Ovitz sneered, “US$6 million market value, minimum 50% stake, this is the most suitable price.”

“Is this your attitude towards negotiations?”

Link shook his head. "30% of the shares and a market value of 16 billion are the final offer. These two points will not change. Also, Michael, if you are the negotiator arranged by the investment company, I am disappointed. I hope they can find a more professional person to negotiate."

"Link, I think you should have heard about how powerful the seven major film companies and the capital behind them are. Lowering the offer price and offering more shares for financing is the only way out for Guess What? Films. Otherwise, you will face sanctions from the entire industry. Are you sure you want to be an enemy of everyone?"

Michael Ovitz frowned and sneered.

"Michael, you can only represent yourself, not everyone."

"Haha, well Link, I'm glad to see that you're steadfast and unyielding. I hope you can still be so calm and composed next time we meet."

Michael Ovitz smiled.

"It should be possible. Since my debut till now, I have been attacked and targeted many times, but I have good ability and luck, and I have won again and again. I believe I can still win this time."

Link held his head high, his deep black eyes revealing a determined look, and his already confident aura became even stronger.

Michael Ovitz narrowed his eyes, feeling that his current state was very glaring.

Jodie Foster looked at Link with appreciation and said with a smile, "Michael, why don't you two make another bet? I can be the notary."

"Humph! Link, you won't be lucky forever. You're doomed to fail this time."

Michael Ovitz smiled coldly and duck-stepped between the two men.

"This guy is so annoying. I heard from people in the company that Michael Ovitz was a very good person in the early days of CAA. He was humble and polite, gentle and friendly to others, smart and capable, a social expert, and a famous gentleman in the circle.

However, after CAA became the strongest company in the artist management industry, he began to become overbearing, power-hungry, and ambitious. Lew Wasserman, the former chairman of Universal Pictures who had helped him, was stabbed in the back by him and almost died of a heart attack.

Several partners who co-founded CAA with him left CAA one after another because they couldn't stand his behavior. David Finger also said that he didn't know how to be grateful. It seems that power can really change a person. "

Jodie Foster looked at him and smiled, "Link, when you become a big shot in Hollywood in the future, don't become like him."

Link shrugged, "I'm one of the most powerful people in Hollywood now, more powerful than Michael Ovitz. Do you think I've changed?"

"You've changed. You've become more philandering and lustful. If I hadn't read the newspaper, I wouldn't have known you had so many girlfriends."

Jodie Foster laughed.

Link smiled and shook hands with director James Cameron and Schwarzenegger who came over to say hello.

Link asked Director Cameron about the filming of "Titanic". Director Cameron said that the initial funding has been in place and the crew is building a large ship in Rosarito Beach in Southern California, which is expected to be completed within the year.

Link thought that filming "Zheng Chenggong" would require shipbuilding and naval battles, and that it might be the location for "Titanic" in the future. He suggested going to the base to see it after it was completed, and Director Cameron welcomed it.

"Director Link, is it convenient for you to accept my interview here? I only have three questions."

asked Ross Stanton, entertainment editor of the Los Angeles Times, after director Cameron left.

This person had interviewed Link many times, and had praised and criticized him in newspapers, so the two sides were old acquaintances.

"Okay Ross, I hope your question isn't too sensitive."

"No, my question is easy to answer."

Ross Stanton began the interview, mainly asking about recent scandals, his true relationships with many female stars, his attitude towards the voices of many public figures, whether he would change his style because of this, etc.

While he was being interviewed, there was a pair of beautiful eyes staring at him.

"Nicole, what are you looking at?"

In the seating area of the "Interview with the Vampire" crew, Tom Cruise noticed that his wife next to him often looked towards Link when everyone was chatting. He should have been angry, but considering Michael Ovitz's plan, he suppressed his anger and pretended to be ignorant and asked Nicole, also asking her to be careful as there were many people here and not to embarrass him.

Nicole Kidman looked away and said she was looking at Monica, saying that Monica's necklace was very beautiful and she wanted to buy the same one.
