Hollywood Director 1992.

Chapter 318 Passionate Hong Kong Female Stars (5K)

In the afternoon, Link came to the Montage Hotel in Beverly Hills to attend the celebration party held by Golden Harvest Films.

Guess What Pictures originally planned to hold a party after the movie was released.

It’s just that Golden Harvest was more enthusiastic about hosting the party, and wanted to use the party to connect with peers and increase Golden Harvest’s reputation in Hollywood.

Guess the studio is willing to make that happen.

Link also brought along two of the company's top executives, Michael Leeson and Daniel DeVito, to show his support.

When they arrived at the hotel, Chen Long, Golden Harvest Films North American President Zou Chongyan, Emperor Entertainment Group boss Jiang Zhiqiang and others greeted the three of them at the door and led them into the lobby.

"Mr. Link is here!"

Someone shouted in the hall.

Bang, bang, bang! Dozens of champagne bottles were opened and the fireworks sprayed.

Hundreds of people at the party gathered towards the door and greeted Link one by one.

The scene was very lively.

With Chen Long's introduction, Lin Ke also met many Hong Kong filmmakers, including Golden Harvest Films General Manager Ho Koon-chang, film actors Hung Kam-po and Chow Yun-fat, the Yuen Woo-ping brothers with whom he had just worked, Silvan Films boss Liao Chung-yuan, director Ng Yu-sen, director Wang Ying and his wife, and so on.

There are also many female stars from Hong Kong, including Maggie Cheung, Vivian Chow, Michelle Reis, Shu Qi, Rosamund Kwan, and Carina Lau.

At the party, several Hong Kong filmmakers expressed their hope to strengthen cooperation with Guess Pictures and work together to shoot more films of the "Rumble in the Bronx" type, so as to bring Hong Kong films to the world.

At the same time, Emperor Entertainment Group boss Kong Chi Keung hopes to obtain the exclusive distribution rights for Guess What Films in Hong Kong Island and Southeast Asia, and guarantees to give the largest share of the profits.

Mr. Liao of Yindu Films hopes to participate in the second round of financing for Guess Pictures.

Silver Metropole Films was founded in the 97s through the merger of Great Wall Films, Phoenix Films, and New United Films. It is also one of the most powerful film companies in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia. It has a mainland background and became a state-owned enterprise after .

Link didn't mind cooperating with Hong Kong Island and briefly introduced the financing situation of Guess the Films.

Currently, Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, Vanguard Capital, BlackRock, Carl Icahn Investments and others have successively invested in Guess the Movies.

If an investor buys more than 5% of the shares, calculated based on the market value of 22 billion, he or she will automatically enter the board of directors after the financing is completed and have a certain say in the company.

The financing rate is less than 5%-3%, calculated based on a market value of 21 billion.

Less than 3%, calculated based on 20 billion.

Since he plans to attract more than 10 new shareholders and prohibits any single new shareholder from buying more shares, the current 30% financing target is only 5%. This is also the share that Chen Long deliberately kept after he mentioned on the phone that someone from Hong Kong Island had invested some time ago. Otherwise, they would have been divided up by Wall Street investment companies.

After thinking for a few seconds, Mr. Liao of Silver Capital Films expressed his intention to take the remaining 5% and have the opportunity to join the board of directors of Guess the Movies. He also promised to fully support Lin Ke's work.

Link said yes.

After talking about work, everyone started chatting.

Chen Long brought female stars and Hong Kong beauties to warm up the audience, introduced their identities and works, and jokingly advised them to seize the opportunity to chat with Link. Link is a tycoon, and it is difficult for ordinary people to meet him under normal circumstances.

Several female stars looked at Link curiously, some were reserved and immature, some were enthusiastic and bold. After Chen Long finished the introduction, Rosamund Kwan, Liu Jialing, and Li Jiaxin took the initiative to approach Link to toast and say some compliments.

However, Link seemed a little cold and distant when responding.

Because all the women in the family are top beauties with good looks, good figures and fame.

Even if there are women in the world who are more beautiful than them, there won't be many.

When he meets these beauties from Hong Kong Island again, he can remain calm and casual.

The cooler he is, the more active the women become, almost clinging to him.

Link didn't want to pick up girls in this kind of situation, so after a few perfunctory words, he stopped talking and only chatted with a few acquaintances.

"Uncle He, Link doesn't seem to be interested in those pretty girls."

Chen Long leaned back in his chair with a glass of wine in his hand, looking over at Link.

"Link is a Hollywood tycoon. He has seen all kinds of beauties in Hollywood over the years. It is impossible for him to pounce on a few pretty girls. That would be too ungentlemanly."

"Hey, he and Maggie had a good chat. Could it be that he is interested in Maggie? Ah, I remembered something."

Chen Long slapped his forehead and said in annoyance, "I remember there was a news report saying that Link liked older women. The women around him were all older than him. The oldest, Michelle Pfeiffer, was more than ten years older than him. If I had known that he liked older women, I should have invited Qingxia and Honggu to come over."

"Let's arrange it next time."

Over there, Link chatted with Maggie Cheung for a few words, looked at his watch and prepared to leave. He found Chen Long and said that Guess Pictures had a new film project and asked him to come to Guess Pictures to chat when he had time.

The film tells the story of a Hong Kong official who went to the United States on diplomatic duty and whose daughter Xiaoxiu was kidnapped by arms dealer Qian Tao in Los Angeles. The Los Angeles Police Department sent James Carter and Detective Li to work together to rescue Xiaoxiu.

That is "Rush Hour". This series of films was originally jointly launched by New Line Cinema and Chen Long. The three films in the series sold more than 800 million US dollars worldwide.

Now Chen Long is cooperating with Guess Pictures, and Guess Pictures also needs to prepare the script.

After hearing this, Chen Long nodded repeatedly and said that he would definitely come.

After seeing Link off, Chen Long waved his fist happily.

After the release of "Rumble in the Bronx", he was preparing to find an opportunity to discuss cooperation with Link, but now Link took the initiative to invite him to Guess the Movies to discuss the next movie.

Now everyone in Hollywood knows that Link has a good eye for the market and has the secret to big box office success.

If the movie he collaborated with Link continues to sell well, he will have the opportunity to gain a foothold in Hollywood with this movie and make a lot of US dollars, which is great.

"Hey, pretty girl, how was your chat with Link?"

Chen Long found Maggie Cheung to chat. He thought that the reason why Link took the initiative to seek cooperation with him was probably because he was very satisfied with his arrangements today, so he wanted to bring Link and Maggie Cheung together.

"Why do you ask?"

Maggie Cheung, wearing a cheongsam, glanced at him unhappily.

"Hey, Maggie, even though Link has a lot of scandals, he's a very nice guy, very talented, and very handsome. You can talk to him more when you get a chance."

"Are you pimping for Linkla?"

Maggie Cheung glanced at the beauties at the party. After Link left, several of them hurriedly chased after him, probably because they didn't want to miss the opportunity to meet the billionaire tycoon.

"Don't say such harsh words. I'm trying to persuade you to be friends with him. Link is a great director and you're a good actor. You can make a movie together."

Chen Long laughed.

"You don't need to tell me. This year's Guess What Films' Chinese Box is starring Gong Li and me. Gong Li is also Link's girlfriend. We have a very good relationship. If I want to be Link's concubine, I can just ask Gong Li to introduce me. I don't need you to interfere here."

"Gong Li too?"

Chen Long expressed his surprise, but also thought this was good news. He knew Gong Li, and if he wanted to work with Link in the future, he could also use Gong Li as a go-between.

"Link! Mr. Link!"

When Link left the party, Vivian Chow trotted after him into the aisle, her face flushed and panting, looking very delicate yet fragile.

Compared to Monica, Jennifer, Mila and other European and American actresses who exercise regularly, Vivian Chow, Michelle Reis, Shu Qi and others all appear to be very slim and frail.

Just like the difference between heavyweight and lightweight in professional boxing, the boxers' weight and body shape vary greatly. If the two sides go on stage to fight, someone might be killed if they are not careful.

This is also the reason why he was not very enthusiastic towards several female stars at the party.

"Mr. Lin, can we chat for a few minutes?"

More than ten meters away, Vivian Chow still dared to shout his name loudly, but when she stood in front of him, she didn't even dare to raise her head, and only asked softly in the voice that she could just hear.

Before she finished speaking, her cheeks, ears and swan neck turned visibly red.

Link found it interesting. This woman was about 27 or 28 years old and had had two boyfriends. She was a young lady. But he didn't expect her to blush when she spoke. It was hard to tell whether it was because of her personality or her excellent acting skills.

While he was silent, Joey Wong's face turned even redder, her cheeks almost buried in her chest, and her fists clenched the hem of her skirt tightly, getting tighter and tighter.

As she shivered slightly, Link smiled and nodded, telling her to talk while they walked.

Zhou Huimin immediately raised her head, her eyes became bright and shining, a smile appeared on the corners of her mouth, she stroked the hair beside her ear, and walked slowly behind him obediently.

While he was chatting with Vivian Chow, Rosamund Kwan, Carina Lau, Michelle Reis and others also came to the aisle. They were originally planning to catch up with him, but they saw Vivian Chow had gone ahead, so they stopped at the door one after another.

"Why don't you chase me?"

Liu Jialing looked at Rosamund Kwan in confusion.

Michelle Reis and Shu-zhen Qiu also stopped and listened to the two people talking.

"Zhou Huimin is already chatting with Link. If we chase her and interrupt her now, it will only make Link unhappy and ruin Minmin's good deeds."

Rosamund Kwan said this while wearing a princess dress and hugging her arms.

"What do you want to do? You're not the kind of person who can help others."

In Hong Kong, Rosamund Kwan is well-known for her glamorous reputation. She got married and divorced at the age of 18, and later had affairs with many wealthy men. There are many gossips about her in the Hong Kong media. However, compared with Link, the wealth of those wealthy men in Hong Kong is too far apart. Logically, Rosamund Kwan would definitely persevere when she met such a wealthy man, but now she has stopped moving forward, which makes Liu Jialing curious.

"It's so hard to meet a young, handsome, super rich and rather philandering tycoon like Link. Of course I won't give up easily, but there's no need to chase him at this time," Rosamund Kwan said confidently.

"It's not necessary? It's very rare to see someone of Link's status. Do you have a way to meet him again?"

"Of course!"

"any solution?"

Liu Jialing and others looked at her curiously, wanting to know what unique skills this rich killer had.

"Here! Here comes the solution."

Rosamund Kwan pointed at Vivian Chow who was walking towards them, and stood in the middle of the road with her arms folded to block the way, "Vivian, what were you talking about with Link?"

"Nothing, just chatting about movies."

Zhou Huimin wanted to go over, but was blocked by Rosamund Kwan and others.

"Minmin, we are all sisters from Hong Kong Island. Eating alone is not a good habit. You'd better tell us honestly whether you have a chance to date Link. If so, we will find a way to help you pick up Link. Otherwise, with your personality and figure, do you think you can trap the playboy Link?"

Rosamund Kwan said.

Liu Jialing nodded and said, "Hui Min, Zhilin is right. Link has many girlfriends and they have big appetites. You definitely can't eat them all by yourself. If we join hands, we may have a chance."

"Yes, Zhilin and Sister Jialing are more experienced in this area and can give you some advice." Shu-zhen Qiu said with a wink.

Joey Wong thought about it and said that she had just asked Link for help and wanted to stay in Los Angeles to develop her career. She asked him if he could help introduce her to an agency, and Link said yes.

"that is it?"

Rosamund Kwan frowned, "You found Link just to ask him to help introduce you to an agency? And you have a good relationship with him, why do you ask him for help?"

Zhou Huimin blushed and said, "I have met Link once and talked on the phone twice. We are quite familiar with each other. He is a very nice person and not so arrogant. It's okay to ask him for help, right?"

"You got Link's number? That's good news."

Rosamund Kwan snapped her fingers and held her chin up and said, "Let's do this. After Link helps you find an agency, you call him and invite him to your house for coffee. Use this as a way to thank him, and then find a way to get into his bed and confirm your relationship."

"Is that so? Isn't it too fast?" Joey Wong blushed and hesitated.

Rosamund Kwan curled her lips and said, "Don't pretend. You dared to run out to find Link in front of so many people just now, which shows that you are also a woman who knows how to seize opportunities. I advise you to take advantage of Link's memory while he still remembers you and trap him early. Otherwise, do you think a rich man like him has the time and patience to slowly cultivate feelings with you?"

"Wouldn't that make me look too wanton? Link would look down on me."

"What are you thinking about? Link is Chinese and grew up in the United States. He is very open in this regard. His girlfriends must have slept with him as soon as they fell in love. Do you think they dated first and then slept with him? If that were the case, Link would be so busy dating that he wouldn't have time to work on the film management company."

Rosamund Kwan said.

"Zhilin is right. I also think it's better to be direct."

Liu Jialing said.

Zhou Huimin thought about it, nodded, and agreed to accept their help.

After Link returned to the company, he continued to work and called Sam Haskell to find an art agency for Vivian Chow. Vivian Chow had no plans to sing or act in the United States. She was good at painting and wanted to mix in the American painting world and have the opportunity to hold a painting exhibition.

If a Chinese painter wants to make a name for himself in the American art world, in addition to having strong skills, he also needs an agency to help promote him.

Link didn't know much about this, but he did know a thing or two. WMA Agency had contracted painters and also took over this kind of agency affairs.

When Sam Haskell received his call, he agreed without saying much and asked him when he had time to come to the company for coffee. He had signed a new person, a very beautiful lady, and hoped he would have the chance to take care of her.

Link said yes.

Sam Haskell was very efficient. He called the next day and said that he had brought someone to talk to Miss Zhou and saw her paintings, which were better than expected. He signed her with a Class B agency contract on behalf of the company.

WMA's customers are divided into several levels, including S, A, B, C, and D.

S-level customers are key customers, A-level customers are famous stars and have a basic signing fee when signing the contract. B-level customers do not have a signing fee, but have a training contract and will be given certain resources to help with publicity and promotion during the contract period. C-level and D-level customers are generally given to newcomers.

Zhou Huimin is a new foreign painter, and it is a special treatment for her to be able to obtain a Class B agency contract in the United States.

After signing the contract, Joey Wong called him to express her gratitude and wanted to invite him to her home for dinner. She didn't know if he had time, and said any time would be fine, he just hoped to give her a chance to thank her.

Link checked his work schedule and saw that Thursday afternoon was free, so he could accept his invitation.

Vivian Chow said she was looking forward to him visiting her home and even said she would prepare ingredients and treat him to Cantonese cuisine.

Link also expressed his expectations.

After being busy until Thursday afternoon, Link drove to Zhou Huimin's apartment in Malibu for dinner.

This apartment was rented temporarily by Vivian Chow after she came to Los Angeles. It is not big, with one bedroom and one living room, which is perfect for one person but would be crowded for two people.

But when Link went there, he found that there were several people crowded in the room.

There was the hostess Vivian Chow, and her friends Rosamund Kwan, Carina Lau, Michelle Reis, and Shu-Jing Yau, all of whom were dressed up beautifully.

Rosamund Kwan was wearing a white lace wedding dress. She had a fair and plump figure, the most voluptuous one among the group. She looked at Link with burning eyes, like a porcelain doll full of desire.

Liu Jialing's appearance and figure are average, but she looks very smart. She wears a formal ladies' suit and looks very decent and tasteful.

Michelle Reis stood behind Carina Lau. She was the youngest and most beautiful one among the group. She was tall and had delicate features. She wore a sleeveless dress and had long black hair. Her dress was quite tasteful, but her shortcoming was that her figure was not very obvious.

Shu-zhen Qiu has the smallest figure, a pure and lovely face, red lips and white teeth, and looks relatively young. However, her measurements are not inferior to those of Rosamund Kwan, with a curvy figure.

However, the most beautifully dressed and most elegant person here is undoubtedly the hostess Vivian Chow. She has long black hair, wears a light blue dress, and wears platinum-rimmed glasses, which makes her fair and delicate face look even more pure and beautiful.

Link glanced around and greeted the beauties.

Vivian Chow introduced that they were there to help with cooking and asked him if he minded.

Several people also greeted them warmly and joked that if they didn't want them to be light bulbs here, they would leave immediately.

Link didn't mind if they stayed.

After the meal started, several people took turns toasting him, each one closer than the other, their voices more melodious than the other, almost treating Link like an emperor.

After a few drinks, alcohol begins to control a person's nerve centers and hormone secretion.

The scene gradually became more and more violent.

The NBC movie channel on the TV on the counter started playing the thriller crime movie "Basic Instinct" released a few years ago.

Perhaps it was because the performance of Sharon Stone and Michael Douglas in the bathroom on TV was too passionate and bold, even perverted, so they were too embarrassed to even take a look at the bright sunshine outside the window and hid behind the curtains.

After finishing "Basic Instinct 1", the movie channel on TV continued to broadcast "Basic Instinct 93" which was released in 2.

Link stayed at Zhou Huimin's house for more than three hours, more than an hour longer than originally planned.

After eating the private dishes prepared by several people, Link gave a sea view villa in the Malibu beach area to the five people to live in, and left 20 US dollars for them to recuperate and live in Los Angeles. He would come to see them when he has time.

More than half an hour after Link left, Rosamund Kwan spoke slowly, her voice a little hoarse.

"Now I realize that Minmin is the best at seducing men among us."

"Why do you say that?"

Liu Jialing asked without moving, her hands on her belly.

"Minmin asked Link to help introduce an agency a few days ago. She was testing him. If he agreed to help, it would mean that he was interested in her. If he didn't agree, she would think of other ways or give up. If Link agreed to help, she would invite him to dinner at her apartment even without our advice, right, little Jew?"

Rosamund Kwan asked.

Zhou Huimin did not respond.

"She's not awake yet, don't disturb her."

"She must be pretending. She appears to be very obedient, but in fact she is very cunning. Usually innocent-looking women are like this."

Rosamund Kwan said.

"No matter what, we have to thank Minmin."

"Well, we do need to thank her. If it weren't for her, we wouldn't have the chance to meet a man like Link. He's not only rich, but also so handsome, strong, and talented. Compared to him, all the men I've dated before are scumbags. I regret it so much."

Rosamund Kwan sighed.

"Link left the keys and check for the villa. Should we accept them?"

"Of course! With a sea view villa, it will be more convenient for us to date. With the check, we don't have to worry about having no money to spend here, little Jew, don't you agree?"

Rosamund Kwan touched Vivian Chow.

Zhou Huimin didn't say anything, just nodded with blushing cheeks.
