Chapter 304: Sending a girl is a big poison point. Monica is going to be in trouble tonight (5K, please subscribe)

After the party, Nicole Kidman greeted and said goodbye to Link with a smile, without any intention of seducing him, as if she had become a different person.

Back in the car, Nicole Kidman's face turned cold and she kicked the front seat, her face full of resentment and shame.

Before attending the script meeting, she had planned to take advantage of the opportunity to discuss the script to continue to seduce Link, completely win him over, and then find a way to make him surrender to her skirt.

But before the meeting, she tried to seduce Link, but he glared at her.

At that time, Link's eyes and aura were very scary, like a cold-blooded and indifferent king.

It made her feel cold, scared and panicky.

She had heard people say before that Link was a workaholic and was very serious when filming a movie, but she never expected that he would be so terrible.

After being glared at by Link, all the beautiful fantasies in her heart were instantly shattered, and she even developed a psychological trauma towards Link. When she saw him again, it was difficult for her to seduce him with wanton words and seductive actions as she had done in the past.

This change made her very depressed.

On the one hand, there is a serious doubt about one’s own charm;
On the other hand, through that glance she had a deeper understanding of Link. Link was not as sunny, gentle, humorous and witty as he appeared to be. His heart might be darker and colder than the meteorite in the depths of the starry sky.

What made her even more frustrated was that after seeing Link's inner heart, she not only did not think of staying away from him, but became even more curious about him. She couldn't help but want to understand him and get closer to him.

Nicole Kidman helplessly discovered that when she was seducing Link, she seemed to be deeply attracted by Link's unique temperament and couldn't extricate herself.

Jingle Bell!
The phone rang, and Nicole Kidman came to her senses and answered it. The caller was Michael Ovitz, who asked her how she was doing, whether she had seduced Link, and whether she had taken any photos.

Nicole Kidman said no, and Link said she was a married woman and he didn't want to touch her.

Michael Ovitz was so angry that he started cursing, calling Link a playboy and asking what bottom line he had, which was nonsense.

Nicole Kidman told him not to worry, as she was going to try another way to seduce Link.

"Another way? What way?"

"In order to seduce Link before, I acted like a bitch, but it was useless. From what I know, he seems to prefer serious women to those who are too proactive, like the ones around him, Lily Liu, Monica Bellucci, Jennifer Connelly, and Brooke Shields.

No matter what they were like in the past, after becoming Link's women, they all became very serious, whether in dressing or in their speech and behavior, they were very restrained, as if they were married to Link. Whether they took the initiative to become like this or it was Link's request, this shows that Link prefers serious women. "

"what do you mean?"

"I also want to become a decent woman and date Link as a normal woman, not a horny bitch. Last time I suggested that Tom and Link work together, and it would be best if they could become friends. I still think so now. I hope you can persuade Tom to cooperate with our actions."

Nicole Kidman leaned back in the seat with her long legs crossed, looking out the window at the neon lights rapidly passing by. Her tone was calm and decisive. She did not seem to be doing things for Michael Ovitz, but rather ordering him to do things.

Michael Ovitz also heard it, but he didn't care. As long as Nicole Kidman could pull Link into bed and take ugly photos of him, he didn't care about anything else.

"Nicole, are you sure this is okay? You said before that Link didn't want to touch you because you were a married woman. If Link and Tom became friends, and you became his friend's wife, would he still touch you?"

Michael Ovitz voiced his concerns.

Nicole Kidman sneered, "Don't think that Link is that good. No matter how reserved he appears, he is a lustful playboy inside. He may not touch a strange married woman, but he may not be able to control himself when it comes to the beautiful and charming wife of his friend. Don't forget Winona Ryder. I bet she had communicated with Link and even slept with him before she broke up with Depp."

"Okay Nicole, I believe in your judgment. I will persuade Tom to cooperate with Link. There is an opportunity right now. Columbia Pictures' film project "Jerry Jane" has been handed over to Guess What? Pictures. That role is very suitable for Link. I will persuade Tom to take the role and cooperate with Link.

In addition, you have to work harder. Now the seven major film studios are preparing to besiege Guess What Film and Link, and they are lacking a breakthrough point. I hope there will be good news from you."

"Michael, don't worry. I will definitely succeed in seducing that bastard Link, and then conquer and ravage him, making him kneel before me and willingly become my slave. Let's see if this bastard dares to ignore my charm in the future."

Nicole Kidman shouted in a high pitched voice.

Michael Ovitz seemed frightened by her and quickly expressed his belief in her.

After hanging up the phone, Michael Ovitz shook his head. He didn't know how Link had offended Nicole so much that made Nicole hate him so much, but this was a good thing for him. If Nicole was willing to go all out to deal with Link, Link would probably be in trouble.

Michael Ovitz is looking forward to seeing Link get into trouble, but Nicole Kidman is ready to change tactics and use hard-to-get against Link, which is a good tactic but will be slower to take effect.

Michael Ovitz thought about it and called Cameron Diaz to ask her if she had seduced Link.

Cameron Diaz is also an artist under CAA. After Nicole Kidman’s previous actions failed, he picked out several beauties in the company to deal with Link, and Cameron Diaz was one of them.

Cameron Diaz and Link have been on the set of Hachi for the past few weeks, and have been seeing each other frequently, so perhaps Diaz has a chance to seduce Link.

Cameron Diaz told him on the phone that she and Link had slept together.

"Really?"

Michael Ovitz stood up excitedly, "How many times did you sleep with him? Did you take a picture of Link and get evidence that he raped you?"

Cameron Diaz said that they slept together more than a dozen times, and that she took the initiative to seduced Link and willingly went to bed with him, but there was no video evidence.

"More than a dozen times? Damn it, I told you the process is not important. You just need to take a picture of him in bed after he falls asleep, and then get some hair and body fluids, and give them to me. Add your testimony, and I will definitely make him a rapist."

Michael shouted excitedly.

Cameron Diaz said no, Link was a great man, young, handsome, rich, so talented, so gentle and considerate, great in every way. She didn't want to harm Link, and would never follow Michael Ovitz's orders to deal with Link again.

"Damn it! Cameron, have you forgotten that your agency is with CAA? If you dare not obey my orders, I will ban you! I mean what I say!"

Michael Ovitz yelled in anger.

"You can ban me now. I am Link's girlfriend now. My boyfriend is a billionaire, a world-class director, the owner of a film company, and the most powerful person in Hollywood. He is more powerful than you. With him around, I will not lack resources."

"you you!!"

When Michael Ovitz heard her words, he became so angry that his face turned blue, blood vessels popped out of his forehead, and his teeth chattered.

"Lin Ke not only gives me resources, but also money. I now have a bank card he gave me, with a monthly spending limit of $10, or $120 million a year. My current film salary is only $10, but even if I don't make any movies, I still have a lot of money to spend every year. Lin Ke is awesome.

Michael, thank you for helping me get the role in Hachiko, and thank you for letting me seduce Link. After becoming Link's woman, I found that everything was so great and so dreamy. Michael, thank you so much. "

Cameron Diaz's sincere and simple tone is very touching. It touched Link last time and this time it also touched Michael Ovitz. Michael's body swayed and he sat down on the public chair. His vision was dark, as if the sky suddenly darkened. It took more than ten seconds for him to recover.

Cameron Diaz was still praising Link in the microphone, saying that he was the most perfect man in the world and could satisfy all her fantasies about men. Now all she wanted to do was to maintain her beautiful and sexy figure so that Link would love her more.

Michael Ovitz gnashed his teeth and said in a hoarse voice, "Bitch, you're too happy too soon. If I tell Link that you're a spy I placed next to him and asked you to deal with him, do you think he'll still like you?"

"It's okay. After I went to bed with Link for the first time, I felt bad hiding it from him, so I told him about it and asked him if he would blame me. Link smiled and said it was okay. He also asked me to thank you for sending me, such a beautiful woman, to him."

Bang!
Before Cameron Diaz could finish her words, Michael Ovitz lifted the phone and slammed it hard on the floor, and his vision became dark again.

"Link, I will never let you go!!"

Outside the office door, the assistants couldn't help but shrink their necks when they heard their boss's sharp and piercing roar like a night owl.

"Link, are you home yet?"

"Coming."

"I'm home now, taking a bath. The bathtub is full of bubbles, except for my calves. Do you want to see them? Oh, I almost forgot. I said I wanted to chat with you as a friend. Okay, let's talk about the script today. It was really interesting. I've held it many times before, but it's never been as interesting as this one. I think it's because you're here. It's still night time. I'm already looking forward to tomorrow's script. I have a new idea about Dr. Chase. Can we chat about it tomorrow?"

Ding ding~

When Link received Nicole Kidman's message, the car was about to return to the Beverly Hills villa. He replied briefly, then put away his phone and walked into the villa lobby.

There are several women at home.

Monica Bellucci is chatting with Liu Xiaoli, Jennifer Connelly, Sofia, Milla Jovovich and Winona Ryder.

Little Xixi was squatting in front of the TV watching the seventh season of the cartoon "Garfield". She was holding three kittens in her arms, and surrounded by several kittens and puppies. The little ones were watching the cartoons, eating snacks, and giggling.

"Link, you're back." Sophia saw him come in, opened her arms and threw herself into his arms.

"What's wrong? It's not like we haven't seen each other for months."

Link hugged Sofia and kissed her, then sat back on the couch, with the others sitting around him, the lights in the large living room bright.

"The third week box office results for 'The Man From Earth' are out. The box office results are very poor, and the attendance is also very poor. This movie is going to fail."

Sophia said, sniffling.

“How much is the box office this week?”

“Only $42.”

Sophia handed him the newspaper.

"The Man from Earth" was released in mid-January and earned $12 in 15.8 theaters in its first week, with an average daily box office of less than $2000 per theater. Both the attendance and box office results were very poor.

The reason is the same as what he said to Sofia at the preview, the film's content is too profound, the threshold for viewing is high, and the box office performance will not be very good.

Everything went as he expected.

Under such circumstances, most movies would give up on being released in theaters and switch to offline distribution, but Link asked the publicity and distribution department to continue promoting the film and spend money to expand the scale of screenings.

The staff of the publicity and distribution department originally thought that there would be a miracle, but it didn't happen.

In its second weekend, the film grossed $102 in 64 theaters.

In its third week, it opened in 107 theaters and grossed $42.7.

The cumulative box office is 121 million US dollars.

This box office data looks good, but it is actually very bad.

The film is adapted from Link's best-selling book, which has its own popularity. In addition, Guess Pictures spent more than $150 million on the promotion and distribution of the film.

Under such circumstances, the box office sales were only over one million, which shows that the audience really did not like to watch this movie.

This is also the reason why Sofia hugged him and cried.

This was her debut film, but the box office performance was so poor that she was about to go bankrupt.

"Sophia, don't be sad. This movie cost $1.5 to make, and it grossed $121 million in North America, which is nearly 100 times the profit. That's pretty good."

Jennifer Connelly consoled.

"Don't kid me. The movie cost more than 150 million yuan to promote, but the box office was only more than 120 million yuan. This is equivalent to the box office bought with money, which is not the real box office at all."

Sofia was very sad. Before the movie was released, she knew that it was not suitable for showing in theaters and was prepared for poor box office performance. However, she did not expect the box office to be so low, so low that it made her heart ache.

"Don't be sad. This movie was decided by Link. He was also the screenwriter and editor of the movie. If the box office performance is not good, he should bear most of the responsibility. You only have a small part."

Monica Bellucci teased, patting Link's shoulder.

"Yes, Monica is right. It's all Link's fault."

"Sophia, don't be sad. This is not your fault. It's Link who should be sad."

Liu Xiaoli, Renée Zellweger and others also started teasing Link.

Link shook his head and smiled, "Don't judge whose fault it is so early. When this movie was first released, we expected that the box office performance would not be very good, and we didn't have too many expectations. However, according to the market department's survey, this type of movie sells well in the video tape market. Maybe we can make a fortune in the video tape market."

"really?"

Sophia wiped her eyes and looked at him expectantly.

"Don't worry, the film has a good reputation. The newspapers are full of praise for you. They say that the artistic achievements you have shown in this film are amazing, and they also praise you as one of the most promising new directors of the younger generation."

Link hugged Sofia and patted her.

Sophia immediately became happy when she heard him talking about movie reviews.

The film's box office performance was average, but word of mouth was very positive. Many well-known film critics praised it in newspapers, saying that the film was very profound, a classic soft science fiction film, and praised the old director Coppola for having a successor.

However, Sophia knew that she was more influenced by Link in terms of film technology and theory.

"Link, why are you back so early? Is the script meeting over?"

Monica changed the subject.

"Yeah, didn't you say there would be a party after the script meeting? Why are you back so early?"

"Nicole Kidman was there too, didn't you chat with her for a while?"

"Haha, we were just betting whether you would bring her back tonight."

Jennifer and Renée Zellweger all chimed in.

Link shook his head. "What are you talking about? The crew had a meeting and had a small gathering at the hotel. I came back after eating. What does this have to do with Nicole Kidman?"

"Don't lie. At the last Golden Globe Awards, Nicole Kidman looked at you with eyes that were so sexy that she wanted to stick to you. You also stared at Nicole Kidman every time. If she took the initiative to stick to you, would you refuse?"

Monica sat on the low table, crossed one leg, and joked with a smile.

When the others heard what Monica said, they also teased Link, saying that Nicole Kidman wanted to get close to him, and he was an insatiable pervert and would definitely not let go of this piece of meat.

Link was helpless, "Nicole Kidman is married, but I'm not so shameless that I won't even let a married woman go."

"What's wrong with being a married woman? It was Nicole Kidman who approached you. You didn't want to bully her. Why do you care so much?"

Monica covered her lips and laughed.

The others also laughed.

Seeing that Monica was the leader of the group, Link did not tolerate her and reached out to hug her. He slapped her twice on the fleshy parts of her body, making her cheeks blush.

"You're the only one who makes wild guesses. If you're willing to play Dr. Chase, will I need to waste my time dealing with Nicole Kidman?"

"It's not like I asked you to choose her as the heroine. You must have chosen her because you were jealous of her."

Monica refused to give in even after being beaten. She covered her butt and rolled her eyes at him. The other women also teased him happily.

Link decided to teach Monica a lesson. He picked her up and put her on his shoulders, carrying her upstairs.

"Haha, there's something interesting going on. Let's go and see it."

"Monica is going to be in trouble today."

Jennifer Connelly, Sofia, and Renée Zellweger hurried upstairs from behind to watch the show.

When Xiao Qianqian saw the hustle and bustle upstairs, she put down the remote control and went upstairs to take a look. Before she could stand up, Liu Xiaoli twisted her ears and sent her back to the villa next door, asking her to finish her homework quickly and continue practicing the piano after that.

Little Qianqian rolled her eyes and did her homework angrily.

Liu Xiaoli successfully subdued the little girl and handed her over to the care of the nanny before returning to the main villa.

When she arrived, the bedroom was already in chaos.
