Hollywood Director 1992.

Chapter 302 Nicole, this is a serious occasion, don't do those messy things
While working on the set of "Hachiko: A Dog's Story", in addition to directing Jodie Foster's filming and coaching Cameron Diaz on her acting skills, Link also took time to check on the preparation progress of the "Batman" sequel, urging each team to speed up the process and try to complete the set construction work within the specified time.

At the same time, in January and February, he attended several award ceremonies, including the Screen Actors Guild Awards, the British Academy Film Awards and the Critics' Choice Awards. Together with the Golden Globe Awards, these four awards are known as the four major indicators of the Academy Awards.

Movies that win these four awards are more likely to win an Academy Award in the future.

A film that didn't win in four categories but won an Oscar is often called an 'upset' win.

This is the first Screen Actors Guild Awards this year, and there are only four awards in the film category, including Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Actress.

Because it was the first session, the jury was very cautious in the selection, and the winners went to four veteran actors.

The best actor was Tom Hanks for "Forrest Gump" and the best actress was Jodie Foster for "What a Pity!"

The Best Supporting Actor was 64-year-old veteran actor Martin Landau, who was nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Oscar twice and was nominated again for "Ed Wood".

The best supporting actress is Dianne Wiest, 49 years old, who won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in 1987 for the movie "Hannah and Her Sisters" and was nominated again this year for the movie "Bullets Over Broadway".

Guess What Pictures didn't win any awards.

At the 48th British Academy Film Awards, "Se9en" received nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Cinematography, Best Screenplay, Best Supporting Actor and Actress, etc., and finally won two technical awards for Best Cinematography and Best Editing. Link won the Best Editing Award.

"Speed" won the Best Sound Effects award, and "Good Will Hunting" won the Best Original Screenplay award.

The biggest winner of this year's British Academy Film Awards was the British film "Four Weddings and a Funeral", which won five awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actress, and People's Film Award.

The hit movie "Forrest Gump" only won one award for Best Special Visual Effects.

At the Critics' Choice Awards, "Se8en" received eight nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor, Actress, and Best Screenplay.

The film eventually won three awards: Best Editing, Best Visual Effects, and Best Supporting Actor.

"Léon: The Professional" won the Best Foreign Language Film.

"Forrest Gump" and "Bullets Over Broadway" directed by Woody Allen became the biggest winners.

Judging from the results of the four major indicators, the films under Guess Pictures will not perform well at this year's Academy Awards.

After the film awards season, Link's work on the Hachiko: A Dog's Story was basically done.

The plot of this movie involves four seasons, spring, summer, autumn and winter. The shooting period lasts for a year, and the crew's shooting work is also on and off, so Link does not have to stay in the crew.

If there were any problems during filming, Jodie Foster could call him for advice.

After returning to Los Angeles, Link led the crew to begin the pre-production work for the Batman sequel, including recruiting actors, rehearsing for the actors, shooting location scenes, and pre-producing parts involving CGI visual effects technology.

"Haha, Link, it's a pleasure to work with you."

At the script reading session, when Jim Carrey saw Link, he rushed up to him enthusiastically and gave him a big hug.

"Don't be happy too early."

Link patted his shoulder and said, "I am very strict with actors. If you don't perform well, I will scold you on the spot. Don't blame me for not giving you, a big star, face."

"Haha, don't worry, the role of the Riddler suits me very well, and I promise I can play it well."

Jim Carrey gestured and had exaggerated expressions when he spoke.

"I can guarantee that there will be no problem. I have been preparing for this role for half a year, training every day, reading the script, and studying the role. I am now 100% confident that I can play Batman well."

Ben Affleck crossed his arms, raised his chin, and looked grim.

This guy showed up wearing only a vest, revealing his thick arms and well-defined shoulder blades. His pectoralis major was also quite strong. He could play Superman in a blue leather jacket and red shorts.

"It's a good workout, but I hope you can act like Bruce Wayne, a nobleman, instead of just a strong, simple-minded athlete."

Link said.

"Well, I have no problem with the aristocratic style. I also received half a month of aristocratic etiquette training."

Ben Affleck put down his arms and suddenly felt a little cold.

"Hahaha! You call this aristocratic? Which aristocrat wears a vest during a meeting?" Jim Carrey held his stomach and laughed.

"I am a noble in motion."

Ben Affleck glared at him, took the coat from his assistant and put it on.

"Hey, Link!"

The door of the conference room was shining with gold, and Nicole Kidman arrived, dressed extremely beautifully.

She wore a golden Dior sleeveless dress with an elegant cut and delicate floral patterns embroidered on the neckline and sides of the hem, showing luxury and taste in every detail.

The high slit design of the skirt cleverly shows off her slender and well-proportioned legs, and paired with a pair of silver high heels, it adds a touch of nobility and sexiness.

She is tall and has skin as white as jade. With her golden hair and golden long skirt, she seems to be shrouded in a charming halo, making people unable to take their eyes off her.

When she appeared, Jim Carrey and Ben Affleck unconsciously stopped talking and turned their attention to her.

"Director Link, it's great to see you here. It's so hard to see you in person."

Nicole Kidman walked over gracefully, bringing with her a fragrant scent. The corners of her red lips curled up as she spoke, and a charming smile appeared on her beautiful face, making her beauty more aggressive.

Link heard Jim Carrey and Ben Affleck swallowing behind him.

"Nicole, welcome to the script meeting. I hope everything goes well with our future cooperation."

Link reached out and shook her hand.

"Director Link, from now on, I am yours. I hope you will take good care of me."

Nicole Kidman held his hand, blinked her blue eyes, and a charming smile appeared on her beautiful face again.

"No problem. I will treat all actors in the crew equally."

Link said.

Jim Carrey and Ben Affleck looked at each other, one frowned and the other made eyes. Are they having an affair?

The two of them pricked up their ears and stared at Link and Nicole Kidman with wide eyes, hoping to see something more.

It was only after Nicole Kidman arrived that the rest of the crew arrived one after another.

Including the two co-screenwriters Batchelor and his wife, Gary Oldman who plays Two-Face, Michael Caine who plays the butler, Ryan Phillippe who plays Robin, Drew Barrymore and Salma Hayek who play Two-Face's sexy assistant.

"Everyone is here, please take your seats."

After everyone arrived, the crew script seminar officially began.

Link found a seat at the right end of the large round table in the conference room and sat down. Ben Affleck, who played Batman, was originally going to sit next to him, but Nicole Kidman came over holding up her skirt and looked at Ben with a smile.

Ben Affleck also had his dignity saved, so he immediately gave up his seat very gentlemanly.

"Thank you!"

Nicole Kidman smiled charmingly, then sat down with her skirt lifted.

Ben Affleck shrugged his shoulders and was about to sit down next to him when Drew Barrymore blinked her beautiful eyes, pouted her chubby red lips and acted coquettishly towards him, saying that she wanted to be closer to Link and listen carefully to him explaining the script.

Ben Affleck had no choice but to move back and forth and sit between Jim Carrey and Ryan Phillippe.

Except for the two co-screenwriters, the others next to Link are all beauties.

Link saw that everyone was seated. Just as he was about to speak, he felt a foot under the table. He frowned and glanced at Nicole Kidman, warning her with his eyes that this was work and she'd better be serious and not get involved in these messy things.

Nicole Kidman was startled by his eyes, and quickly retracted her rebellious foot, straightened her chest, and listened to Link carefully.
