Hollywood Director 1992.

Chapter 354 Movie Premiere, Kate Winslet

After meeting with Ovitz and Harvey Weinstein to finalize the collaboration, Link returned to the studio to edit Hachiko: A Dog's Story.

Photos of their meeting were also published in newspapers by media outlets such as the Los Angeles Times and America Express.

The media reported that Link and Ovitz had reconciled their past grievances and had a private chat in the cafe for more than half an hour, and they had a very pleasant conversation.

It also cited insiders as saying that they were discussing cooperation matters. If Guess Pictures reached a cooperation with Disney and Miramax, the alliance of the seven major film studios would probably collapse, and Guess Pictures' position in Hollywood would be more stable, and Link's power in the entertainment industry would become stronger and stronger.

Link has not responded to this matter yet, but several reporters asked about this issue when he was invited to attend the premiere of "Sense and Sensibility" on Friday.

"Mr. Link, there are media reports that you and Michael Ovitz have become friends and are planning to collaborate on a movie. Is this news true?"

On the red carpet, a New York Post reporter stood outside the fence with a microphone to interview him.

"Yes, Michael and I had some conflicts at work in the past. Now that he is working at Disney, we will have more opportunities to cooperate. We plan to work together on several blockbusters in the future. At the same time, Guess What Pictures will not only cooperate with Disney, but will continue to seek cooperation with other film companies. Our goal is win-win cooperation and bring Hollywood back to its golden age."

Link spoke freely into the reporters' microphones.

"Mr. Link, many people now call you the King of Hollywood. What do you think of this title? And how do you feel about the fact that you went from an ordinary person to the King of Hollywood in less than five years?"

a San Francisco Chronicle reporter asked.

"I am not the King of Hollywood. I am just a director, an ordinary director. My interests and ideals are reflected in the profession of director. In the future, my goal is to make more good movies, not to gain more money and power. Becoming the King of Hollywood is worthless to me, and is not even as good as being nominated for any film award."

Link said frankly.

clap clap clap!
The reporters and audience outside the red carpet couldn't help but applaud and cheer when they saw that he was speaking so sincerely.

"Director Link, I heard that you are planning to shoot a new movie recently. This is also your third movie this year. As far as I know, no director in Hollywood shoots more than three movies in a year. What is your purpose in shooting movies continuously like this?"

asked a Newsweek reporter.

"It's probably career anxiety," Link said with a smile. "Many artists will produce many high-quality works in succession when they are at their peak, but in their trough, each work is worse than the last. I am at my peak now, and almost every work of mine is well received by the audience, so I must hurry up and make more movies to prevent my creative ability from declining in the future. It will be too late to regret it then."

“Career anxiety?”

“Billionaires also have career anxiety?”

"real or fake?"

When the reporters heard his answer, they were surprised and excited. They didn't expect this to be the reason, nor did they expect that a big director and rich man like Link would also be anxious. What excited them was that his answer was very topical and many people would like to read the report.

"Yes, I said I am an ordinary person, so I naturally have ordinary people's problems."

After answering a few questions, Link waved to reporters and fans and took Jennifer away from the red carpet area.

“Honey, is your career anxiety real?”

Jennifer Connelly said as she walked with her arm around his, with a sweet smile on her face, which made her look very charming with her delicate face.

“Since 92, almost every one of my films has been a hit, and they often become huge hits, so I have been named a top director, the most profitable director in Hollywood, and many other honorary titles by the media.

It’s just that when I received these honors, I encountered a lot of hostility and jealousy. Many people hoped that my movies would suffer losses and waited for me to fall from the altar, so every time before making a movie, I would be more cautious and careful, and it was inevitable to be a little anxious. "

Link held the girl's soft hand and said.

Jennifer looked at his profile and felt touched.

When he is at home, he is the most emotionally stable one. Whenever someone is unhappy, he will promptly show concern and help to make everyone happy. However, because he does not need others to care about him, everyone often ignores his mood and does not know whether he is happy or under great pressure.
"My dear, you have done a great job. You don't need to be stressed. Why don't you take a break for a while before filming again? Don't be so anxious."

Jennifer hugged her arms tightly, ironing his strong arms with the most comfortable part of her chest.

Link smiled softly and pinched the tip of her upturned nose. "I was just teasing you. The reason I said that just now was to take the opportunity to create a topic and increase the exposure of Sense and Sensibility. As for anxiety, I have a little bit, but it is completely within my tolerance range. You don't have to worry about me."

"No, I'm worried. I'm going to call a family meeting when I get home tonight and ask them to stop pestering you and thinking only about sex. They should give you more space to move freely so that you have more time to rest." Jennifer said considerately.

"No, I'm going to go abroad to film next month, so I won't have time to spend more time with you guys in the future. While I'm still at home, I'll spend more time with you guys at night. Don't worry, this is the best way for me to rest, and it's also the best exercise to relieve stress and anxiety."

"Really?"

"Of course!"

Link kissed the girl's forehead and pulled her into the cinema.

With the introduction of director Ang Lee and the leading actress Emma Thompson, Link met several leading actors in the crew including the leading actor Hugh Grant, the second female lead Kate Winslet, the second male lead Alan Rickman, etc.

After a short chat, the movie started.

"Sense and Sensibility" is adapted from the novel of the same name by the famous British writer Jane Austen. The film tells the story of a pair of British sisters' different attitudes towards love.

The story takes place in an aristocratic manor in England. After the old owner of the manor passed away, the daughters faced the fate of being kicked out of the house because the family property was only passed down to sons and not daughters. Getting married became a choice they had to make.

The eldest daughter is more calm and restrained in her love life. For the happiness of the whole family, she hides her love deeply.
The younger daughter is more "love-brained" and is willing to make sacrifices in pursuit of love.

The two sisters, one is 'rational' and the other is 'emotional', and in the end both of them found true love.

Director Ang Lee is of good quality and the actors' performances were wonderful. After the movie ended, there was a burst of warm applause from the audience.

"Ang Lee, congratulations, the movie is great."

Link said, clapping his hands.

"Thank you! Link, thank you for your support!"

Ang Lee smiled reservedly and felt relieved. "Sense and Sensibility" was the first film he directed with an all-European and American cast. It was also his first time working with such a star actor. He was under a lot of pressure during the filming.

Now that the movie has been released, the audience has responded enthusiastically, which shows that he has done a good job. However, if he wants to be completely relieved, he still needs to see the subsequent box office results and hope that the company will not lose money.

"Director Link, what do you think of my performance?"

Kate Winslet walked up to Link and boldly asked the question.

"Very good, you played Marianne's frankness and enthusiasm, which added a lot to this role."

Link said as he looked at Miss Winslet, who was only 20 years old and had not yet become 'Fat Win'.

"Thank you! Director Link, if you have a role that suits me, would you consider working with me?"

Kate Winslet stared at him without blinking.

Link nodded, giving her a positive answer.

"Great, here's my phone number, Director Link, please contact me when you find a role that's right for me."

Kate Winslet handed over a photo. It was an artistic photo of her wearing a halter dress, with long golden brown hair, fair and plump skin, revealing a beautiful face and figure. On the back of the photo was a phone number and her address in Los Angeles.

"Okay, I'll accept it."

Link smiled lightly. Rumor has it that Kate Winslet is very good at seizing opportunities. When selecting the heroine for "Titanic", she wrote to James Cameron many times to recommend herself to director Cameron, and finally she successfully got the role.

It seems that the rumors are true. She is indeed not an ordinary actor, and there is reason for her to become a first-line actress in the future.

After the movie premiere, Link returned to the company to continue editing "Hachiko: A Dog's Story". It took him three weeks to finish editing the movie and then handed it over to the production department for post-production.
