Hollywood Director 1992.

Chapter 340 The little girl is getting more and more naughty as she grows older. She should be taught a lesson.

"Link, are you on vacation on the island? When will you be back?"

At noon, when Link was organizing the director's script for the new movie in his study, he received a call from Aaron Kutcher, deputy editor-in-chief of The Hollywood Reporter.

"Probably next week, Aaron, anything going on?"

Link put down the pen in his hand, leaned back in his office chair, and twisted his neck.

"There are a lot of rumors about you in Hollywood right now, including Guess What?'s summer hits, Michael Ovitz's job change, Jay Maloney becoming president of CAA, etc. These things are all related to you, and the public is paying close attention to them. I would like to interview you. Do you have time?"

"Aaron, I can't answer any of the questions you just mentioned, except that Guess What? movies are going to be a big hit during the summer vacation."

"Link, don't be like this. We got the news that the reason Jay Maloney became the president of CAA was entirely due to you. We are old friends, can you reveal something in private?"

Aaron demanded.

Link was a little surprised. How could such a thing be spread? Could it be that Ovitz and Maloney leaked the news?
"Aaron, there are too many things involved here to be disclosed at the moment. If you are still interested in a few years, you can ask me again, and maybe I can tell you some interesting inside information."

"Okay, I'll ask you again in a few years. I have another question. After Ovitz leaves CAA, many people think that your power in Hollywood will reach its peak and become the true king of Hollywood. After you have more power, what are your plans? What is your next goal?"

"I'm not the king of Hollywood. I'm just an ordinary person, an ordinary director. From the beginning to the end, my goal has been to use the resources at hand to make more good movies and gain more recognition, including box office and film awards. The next goal is to make a movie with a global box office of more than 10 billion US dollars and win the Oscar for Best Director. Does that count?"

Link thought for a moment and said.

"Oscar for Best Director? That's a great goal. I hope you can achieve it soon. I have another question."

Aaron seized the opportunity and interviewed several current hot issues in succession.

Link answered patiently for more than twenty minutes, then hung up the phone and continued writing the movie script for "The English Patient".

Just after Aaron called, Vanity Fair editor-in-chief Graydon Carter, Los Angeles Times editor-in-chief Ross Stanton, Jerome Preston and others also called.

Everyone tried to find out the news indirectly on the phone.

Link's answer to everyone was consistent: he was just a director and did not interfere in the affairs of other companies.

As for the title of "King of Hollywood", he is not interested in it either.

Over the past three years, he has made a lot of money through Guess What Movies, but has also aroused the jealousy of many people.

If he accepts the crown of "King of Hollywood" again, he will probably become a thorn in everyone's side and even be isolated from the circle.

So the right thing to do is to be low-key and make a fortune quietly.

In addition to the media, acquaintances from the director and actor circles also called.

Some people tactfully congratulated Guess What Pictures for its good performance in the summer vacation and hoped for a chance to work together.

Some people directly talked about the change of head of CAA, saying that after Ovitz left CAA, he became the king of Hollywood, and asked him what he thought.

Link's answer also adhered to the principle of low-key, saying that it was just an empty title, and the real powerful people were Entertainment Capital. Even if he was the chairman of Guess What, he had to listen to the opinions of the shareholders behind him.

The women at home and the lovers outside also called excitedly.

Julianne Moore, Renée Zellweger and others said that they have completed filming of their new movies and will be able to come to Hawaii for vacation soon.

Nicole Kidman asked him when he would return to Los Angeles, saying that she missed him every day. She was currently seeking a divorce from Tom Cruise and would soon be able to openly be his lover.

Rosamund Kwan also called excitedly, saying that she would invite Shu-Ching Yau and Carina Lau to throw a big party for him in the villa to celebrate his becoming the king of Hollywood.

Chen Chong also called from the mainland and said she would bring him some new local specialties.

Link told them not to get too excited, as many of the news in the newspapers were fake and were deliberately hyped up by someone in order to isolate him and make him a loner.

Monica and the others smiled and comforted him, saying that with everyone by his side, he would never become a lonely person.

After chatting for a while, Link hung up the phone and found a few newspapers from the shelf and flipped through them.

In recent issues, many media have hyped him up as the 'new king of Hollywood', praising him for being very powerful and influential in Hollywood.

There would be no problem if the media only reported these news.

The key point is that these media outlets had bad intentions and deliberately emphasized in their reports that he was of Chinese descent, and that Hollywood had welcomed a Chinese entertainment tycoon.

At the same time, the article lists the performance of Chinese filmmakers in Hollywood in the past two years, saying that it is all thanks to him that Chinese actors and directors have been developing better and better in Hollywood in recent years.

These reports are clearly malicious.

Hollywood is the Jewish sphere of influence. Since the 1920s, Jews have ruled Hollywood by controlling the seven major film studios. The media deliberately emphasized his Chinese identity, obviously wanting to put him on the spot and make the Jewish financial groups jealous of him.

The media also emphasized the development of Chinese actors and directors in Hollywood, implying that with his support, Chinese actors began to compete with other groups for resources, trying to arouse everyone's hostility towards him and the Chinese community.

This kind of news is quite harmful and if left unchecked, it may lead to worse consequences in the future.

Link thought about it and called Liu Xiaoli.

Ask the company's public relations department to pay attention to this matter and refute the rumors that he is the "King of Hollywood" through the media, and point out that Michael Ovitz is still powerful and his power will be further enhanced after joining Disney.

At the same time, Link asked to make fun of himself, saying that he was a typical playboy because he did not expand his network in Los Angeles during this critical period, but took his girlfriends on vacation in Hawaii, eating, drinking and having fun, and had no ambition to make progress.

At the same time, find someone to reveal that he only knows how to make movies and does not know how to manage a company. Guess what, the film industry has grown to its current scale thanks to the efforts of Michael Leeson, Jon Gordon and others.

"Link, is it necessary to do this? Isn't it good to be the king of Hollywood?"

Liu Xiaoli asked with a smile.

“It’s not that I don’t want to be the CEO, but I don’t have the ability at this stage. Although Guess What Pictures is profitable, it is in a worrying situation and has not yet escaped the crisis. Although I have achieved some results in the film industry, my influence is not as great as that of the seven major film company presidents and the four major directors.

Besides, we are of Chinese descent, and this is the territory of Anglo-Saxons and Jews. Accepting the title of "King of Hollywood" at this time will do more harm than good.

When I become the boss of the seven major film companies, everyone else will have to act according to my wishes. At that time, I will be called the King of Hollywood, and I will truly deserve the title."

Link said slowly.

"So this time the media hype about you being the King of Hollywood is really a form of flattery?"

Liu Xiaoli also felt the seriousness of the matter and her tone became serious.

"Yes, I don't know whose conspiracy it is, but it's better to be safe than sorry."

"Okay, I understand. I'll arrange for someone to do the job right away."

After Liu Xiaoli hung up the phone, Link called Sam Haskell again and asked WMA to do some public relations and even release some negative information about him, such as his lust, extravagant lifestyle, and failure to win an Oscar for Best Director.

Although Sam didn't understand, he agreed to cooperate.

Link put down the phone and sighed. Originally, he just wanted to make some pocket money by making movies. He never thought about having conflicts with others, let alone becoming the king of Hollywood.

But when he is in this position, every move he makes involves the interests of many people, so he can't just be kind to others.

This is the true situation where people have no choice in the world.

"Godfather! Godfather! It's time to eat!"

"Dong, dong, dong!" Liu Qianqian's unladylike shouting and knocking on the door came from outside.

Link looked at his watch and realized that he had been busy until the afternoon. It was indeed time for lunch.

When he opened the door, he saw a little girl standing at the door. She was wearing a princess dress and looking around mischievously. He couldn't help but pinch the little girl's bouncy face.

"Don't shout so loudly next time. You are a girl, you should pay attention to your image."

"Know it!"

Liu Qianqian waved her hand and looked into the study. "Are you not going to call Jennifer?"

"Which Jennifer?"

"Rachel Green!"

"She's not here."

"You're lying. I looked everywhere for her autograph this morning but couldn't find it. She must be here with you."

The little girl sniffed and said.

"Have you searched the bedroom? She was quite tired from flying here yesterday and is still sleeping in the bedroom."

"Really? Then I'll go find her."

Liu Qianqian shook her ponytail and ran away.

Link shook his head. This girl is getting more and more naughty as she grows older. It’s time to ask her mother to discipline her.
