Hollywood Director 1992.

Chapter 377 Harvey's Bloody Proposal

“It is absolutely necessary. Link is worth billions and will become even richer in the future. Guess what? The market value of the film company is also rising steadily and will be even more valuable in the future.”

If we don't act quickly now, and instead drag things out, guess what will happen and how much stronger the film company will become.

Our race will slowly lose its power to rule Hollywood and will have no place in Hollywood.

We must do this for the survival of our race.

Harvey's gaze swept across the three men's faces, and he said in a sinister tone, "You don't need to worry about the consequences. Link is an orphan. Apart from his girlfriends, he has no relatives in America. As long as we eliminate him, we can cut off the root of the problem. No one will avenge him afterward. This is the simplest, most direct, and most effective way."

"That's too extreme. Link is a big shot. Using this kind of method to deal with him will have too much negative impact."

Ovitz shook his head.

"Hmph! We have had four presidents killed by assassination. Compared to killing a president, how much negative impact will the death of a Chinese-American director have?"

Harvey sneered.

Ovitz looked at Langmeyer and Baridiller, "What are your opinions?"

Ron Mayer and Barry Diller frowned in thought.

"The shooting had too great an impact, and it would be difficult for the police to handle the aftermath."

"Indeed, assassination is worse than shooting. Let Link disappear quietly or die slowly from illness, and the impact will be less."

The two began to discuss the matter.

Harvey laughed and said, "Very good. Since we all agree to eliminate Link, the only thing left is the means to deal with him. We can discuss this slowly and try to find the most effective and least disruptive method."

The three of them, Ovitz, exchanged glances and nodded.

As they left, Harvey and the three of them swore an oath before the racial idol that they would never reveal a single word to the outside world.

The three men, including Ovitz, did as he said and would never reveal the content of their discussion to a fifth person. If they did, they would be struck by lightning and die a horrible death.

Achoo!

"Feihong, it's quite windy here. You should go back to the set and rest. You don't need to stay here with me."

On the set of Alcatraz in San Francisco, Link put down the director's script and spoke to Yu Feihong, who was covering her nose beside him.

"I'm fine. I'm wearing a windbreaker and it's very warm. My neck was just a little itchy, I didn't catch a cold."

Yu Feihong smiled slightly.

She was wearing a yellow fleece-lined windbreaker, blue jeans, and thick-soled leather boots, which showed she was well-prepared for the cold.

She was slender with fair and delicate skin, and spoke in a soft voice, making her appear frail and delicate.

Seeing that she was indeed alright, Link didn't try to persuade her any further and continued with his work.

"Link, are you alright wearing only a shirt? Should I go back and get you a jacket?"

Yu Feihong touched his cotton shirt, which revealed that he was only wearing a T-shirt underneath, and it felt very thin.

"It's okay, my body is warm, this little breeze won't affect me."

Link pressed his warm palms against her cold cheeks, letting her feel his warmth.

Yu Feihong smiled slightly, rubbed her cheek against his palm, and stopped trying to persuade him.

After sleeping with Link for countless days and nights, she learned more and more about him, knowing that he was very strong and never caught a cold, fever, or any other minor ailment.

Even in the cold winter, his hands and feet were always very warm, and his body would sometimes feel as hot as a red-hot iron, sending shivers down one's spine. Standing beside him, Yu Feihong found herself becoming more and more infatuated with him. Before, she was infatuated with his talent, power, and good looks, but now she was more infatuated with his body, and often couldn't help but want to indulge him.

This discovery made her secretly ashamed, realizing that she had probably been influenced by actresses like Joan Chen, Chen Hong, and Rosamund Kwan, and had also become a bit lecherous.

"boss!"

While observing the film set, assistant Lewinsky came over with a phone.

Robert Shea, Jay Maloney, and others called to congratulate him on Guess Movies winning the annual box office champion title for the second consecutive year;
Greta Carter, editor-in-chief of Vanity Fair, Ross Stanton, deputy editor of the Los Angeles Times, and others called to ask him a few questions about several reports published by The Hollywood Reporter.

Link said he didn't have time and would talk to them after get off work in the afternoon.

He continued working on set, spending half an hour drawing a sketch and handing it to the set designer and prop master to set up the set according to the design.

After filming in the afternoon, Link, Yu Feihong, and Jennifer Aniston, who came to visit the set, took a bath. After sending the two back to their bedroom, he went to the living room to make a phone call.

Vanity Fair editor-in-chief Greydon Carter congratulated him on Guess the Movies winning the annual box office title for the second consecutive year and asked him how he felt.
Link said it was great. This "great" wasn't just because Guess What Film Studio made a lot of money last year, but also because he had a good time with Yu Feihong and Jennifer.

I initially thought that Yu Feihong and Jennifer wouldn't be familiar with each other and would be shy about taking a bath together, but Yu Feihong wasn't. She behaved very well and cooperated with Jennifer, helping and supporting each other. Afterwards, the two became closer.

Greydon Carter asked him what his plans were for the year and whether he was confident of retaining his position as the top-grossing box office player for the year.
Link said he would do his best.

"Link, this year Guess what? The North American box office has reached $12.8 billion, which is roughly equal to the combined box office of films released by the second-ranked Universal Pictures and the third-ranked Disney, and also equal to the combined box office of the bottom three companies."

After this data was released, many media outlets published theories threatening Guess Movies, arguing that if Guess Movies continues to grow, it will capture a larger share of the box office, causing the seven major studios to face bankruptcy and other independent film companies to fare even worse. What is your opinion on this viewpoint?

"Greden Carter asked."

Link laughed, “That’s too pessimistic. Guess what? From its inception, Guess what film studios have actively sought collaborations with their peers, including Columbia, MGM, Warner Bros., New Line Cinema, Miramax, Mark Gordon Studios, and so on.”

Guess What Film Studios is very willing to share profits with its peers. As long as all film companies can cooperate with us with an open and inclusive mindset, they can share in the dividends of Guess What Film Studios' development. With everyone working together, the North American film market will become more prosperous, and everyone can make money.

"Link, are you saying that other film companies only want to collaborate with you if they want to make money, and if they don't, their bankruptcy and closure are none of your business?"

“Gray, Guess what? Film Studio is a company, not a savior. Our goal is to make more good movies to entertain audiences, not to support the poor.”

"That makes sense. There's another issue. Guess what? Pictures continues to dominate the charts, which has made the Big Seven Studios feel an unprecedented crisis. The Big Seven Studios certainly won't sit idly by. If they really join forces to oppose Guess what? Pictures' expansion, do you have the confidence to defeat them in this situation?"

"Greden Carter asked."

"This assumption is invalid. Let's guess that the studio has already established partnerships with Columbia, MGM, Fox, and Warner Bros., and will continue to work with the other three film companies in the future. At that time, the major film companies will all be partners, sharing both prosperity and adversity. The seven major film studios will not do something that harms others without benefiting themselves."

"Okay, I hope you can guess how powerful the film industry is, becoming number one in total box office every year."

"Thank you!"

After discussing a few questions, Link hung up the phone and called others back, receiving a call from lawyer Sean Don in between.

Media outlets that previously participated in spreading negative information about him, including ABC and Entertainment World, agreed to pay financial compensation after receiving court summonses in exchange for dropping the lawsuit. However, the compensation offered by the media companies was not much, ranging from a maximum of $5 to a minimum of only a few thousand dollars.

Sean Tang asked him if he wanted to agree.

Considering that litigation would be time-consuming and that media outlets like ABC would admit their mistakes more quickly, Link agreed to accept the money and drop the case. At the same time, he called Michael Leeson and asked them to donate the money publicly to promote the company's positive image.

Michael Leeson said he understood.

After making the call, Link went back to his bedroom to rest.

Yu Feihong and Jennifer were exhausted from playing earlier and were now sleeping soundly in bed, their fair arms draped over each other.

Link kissed their foreheads, leaned against the soft pillows and thought about the day's events for a while, then comfortably drifted off to sleep with the people beside him in his arms.
