Chapter 466 The Spider-Man Project

"Who's that guy next to Harvey? He has a sinister look on his face and doesn't look like a good person."

At the party, Monica took his hand and asked.

Link chuckled softly, “You have a good eye for people. That man is Jeffrey Epstein, a political and business broker, and he’s certainly not a good person. If he’s deliberately trying to chat with you, you’d better keep your distance. Getting too close will damage your reputation.”

"Then why did you talk to him for so long?"

Monica put one hand on his shoulder and looked at him with a smile on her beautiful face.

"Out of politeness, and also because I wanted to see what methods he was going to use to win me over and get benefits from me, after listening to what he said, I roughly understood his thoughts and also understood why many billionaires were willing to befriend him."

"what reason?"

"It's just about catering to their preferences. To fat people, they'll say they have a highly effective weight-loss drug with minimal side effects; to sick or elderly people, they'll sell health supplements; to women, it's naturally beauty products; and to ordinary wealthy people, they'll recommend money-making opportunities, and so on."

"So he's trying to sell you beautiful women?"

Monica laughed.

Link smiled and said, "He originally had this plan, but I pointed at you and said, 'Hey Jeffrey, look at that chick, is there a more perfect woman in the world?' That guy looked at your elegant and sexy figure and couldn't say a word."

"Haha, that's a great question, I love it."

Monica stood on tiptoe and pressed her passionate red lips against his handsome cheek.

Link smiled, put his arm around the beautiful woman, and continued chatting with the others.

At the party, James Cameron approached him and brought up the new movie, mentioning that he wanted to adapt Spider-Man and asked Guess Films if they had any related plans.

James Cameron originally had this plan when he was at Carlock Pictures, but the project was delayed due to copyright issues, and James Cameron made Titanic first.

Now that both Carlock Pictures and Marvel Entertainment are under Link's control, there are no longer any copyright disputes, and the project is ready to launch.

Link said they could talk about it. Adapting Marvel movies is Guessing Films' next plan, and he also plans to direct a few Marvel movies himself. Now that James Cameron has taken the initiative to suggest that they might collaborate again if the conditions are right.

In addition, James Cameron is a very creative person in film, both in terms of plot and special effects.

Link is also looking forward to Cameron's version of Batman.

"James, come sit down at the film studio sometime and we can talk about the adaptation."

"Okay, it's settled."

Director Cameron raised his glass and clinked it with his.

After the premiere of "007", Link returned to the company to continue working on the film.

After Guessing Movies and MGM merged, there were many things to do within the company, such as merging the production and distribution departments, renovating the Imperial International Cinema, producing content for the Comcast TV channel, developing film copyright IP, and so on.

He was busy filming a movie a while ago and didn't have time to deal with it, but now that he has time, he has to work overtime to handle it.

The sooner these matters are resolved, the faster the two companies can integrate their resources.

"This is the script you picked out?"

In the office, Link flipped through documents and asked Daniel DeVito and James Schamus, who were sitting opposite him, the two of them. The two were now the heads of the company's commercial film production department and independent film production department, respectively.

"Yes, after reviewing MGM's script library, we found some projects that are suitable for investment, but we are not sure about them, so we came to ask you to take a look and give us some guidance."

Daniel DeVito adjusted his glasses and said.

“You’re all veteran producers, with more experience than me. What kind of advice do you want from me? I think you’re just here to give me something to do.”

"Haha, not really. Besides asking for your opinion, we also have a few scripts here that we think are suitable for you to direct, so we're looking for you to take a look and see if you're interested in directing them."

James Shams laughed.

"That's a good excuse."

Link smiled slightly and opened the folder to take a look.

The folder contains two parts of information.

Part of the list consists of scripts with investment potential, compiled after they organized MGM's script library. This includes scripts for the next James Bond film, the sequel to *The Silence of the Lambs*, *Hannibal*, the sequel to *Terminator 2*, *What Men Are 007%*, *The Brink*, *Windtalkers*, *Meet the Parents*, *Legally Blonde*, *Gladiator*, *Notting Hill*, *Catch Me If You Can*, an adaptation of *The Hobbit* novel, and the television series *Charlie's Angels* (also known as the *Charlie's Angels* film script), totaling 43 film projects, along with script outlines.

The other part consists of eight films that Daniel and James felt were suitable for him to direct, including Hannibal, The Fear of Death, and Red.

The folder contained detailed information on eight scripts for his convenience.

Link glanced at the scripts they had listed, but he wasn't very interested. What piqued his interest were the three movies: "Catch Me If You Can," "Gladiator," and "Notting Hill."

He carefully read the plot summaries of the three film projects, which were similar to the film content he remembered.

All three films performed well at the box office and received positive reviews after their release.

If he has the time, he plans to direct it himself.

"Send me the scripts for these three movies so I can take a look. You can decide on the rest of the movies."

Link marked the three movie titles and handed them to Daniel.

He didn't look at any other script materials, leaving the decision entirely to producers such as Daniel DeVito and James Schamus.

Following the acquisition of MGM, the production departments of the two companies were merged, and it is expected that more than 25 films will be produced each year.

If he were to oversee every single film project, the workload would be too great.

From now on, he will only participate in the production of film projects with a cost of more than $3000 million. Other medium and low-budget films will be handled by the production department. The production department will be rewarded for its achievements and have its bonus deducted if it fails to achieve its goals.

This allows him to have more free time to shoot his own movies.

It can also help train Daniel Radcliffe, James, and others to develop their eye for choosing films.

Daniel DeVito and others have done a good job over the past year. If they keep it up, they may be able to produce several dark horse films every year without his involvement.

"Good boss!"

"Boss, aren't you interested in this 'Hannibal' movie?"

"Daniel DeVito asked."

"The plot of 'Hannibal' is good, but the original director of the previous film, 'The Silence of the Lambs,' Jonathan Demme did a good job directing it, so it would be more appropriate for him to direct the sequel."

“We contacted director Jonathan Demme, but he was not satisfied with the sequel script and had no intention of directing it.”

Daniel DeVito shrugged regretfully.

"Really? Send me the script so I can take a look. If I have time, I can direct it."

"it is good!"

Daniel DeVito and James Schamus left satisfied.

"Boss, you've been working for four hours straight, why don't you take a break?"

His beautiful assistant, Aishwarya, brought him coffee and stood behind him, massaging his shoulders.

"It's okay, I'm not tired."

"Oh, okay!"

Aishwarya didn't leave either, continuing to assist him from the side, though her cheeks were flushed, and she would occasionally touch him with her rounded parts.

Seeing the girl's state, Link instantly understood what she was thinking.

He spent too much time on the island and at the villa this week and didn't have time to date her. The girl was craving something, but she was too reserved to say it directly, so she used this method to remind him.

However, work is more important. He is not King Zhou of Shang and will not let beauty interfere with his duties.

After finishing his business, he said he wanted to see a belly dance. Aishwarya blushed, took off her coat and high heels, and danced a belly dance around him barefoot.

The girl's abdomen was soft, flexible, and elastic, capable of making various delicate swaying and twisting movements. Her rounded body below and above her abdomen also coordinated very well. Combined with her delicate face and large, bright eyes, she looked very alluring when dancing.

Link only started doing indecent things after the girl finished dancing.
