Hollywood Director 1992.

Chapter 99: Encounter in the Bathroom (Please read and collect)

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Link went to the bathroom. When he came out, he happened to meet Nicole Kidman, who was wearing a dark red suspender dress, revealing shiny white skin.

He said hello to Nicole Kidman.

Nicole Kidman also responded with a smile, praising "Paranormal Activity" for being great and saying that she screamed with fright while watching it. She also said that there would be a chance for them to work together.

As they were chatting, Nicole Kidman swayed and seemed to fall to the ground. Link subconsciously reached out to hold her waist.

"Thank you!"

Nicole Kidman said, leaning on his shoulder, the smell of perfume and alcohol wafting off her.

"Nicole, what are you doing here?"

Suddenly Tom Cruise strode over.

"I almost fell, but Link caught me. He's such a gentle gentleman."

Nicole Kidman smiled and stepped aside as if nothing had happened.

"Mr. Cruise, Mrs. Cruise, there is water on the floor, be careful when you pass by."

Link said.

"Humph!"

Tom Cruise walked up to Nicole Kidman with a blank expression.

His right arm hugged her waist so tightly that his fingers almost dug into Nicole Kidman's soft skin.

Nicole Kidman frowned slightly, revealing her pitiful temperament.

"Director Link, thank you for holding Nicole."

"You're welcome, it's easy."

Link raised his hand, turned and left, and behind him he could hear Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman arguing in low voices.

What an interesting couple.

When I returned to my seat, two new friends came.

Tim Robbins and his live-in girlfriend Susan Sarandon.

Both are in their forties and are famous Hollywood actors.

The former has starred in several less famous movies, including "The Firecracker Queen", "The Good Wife", "Jungle Fever", "The Player", etc. The role that made him famous in the future was the leading actor in "The Shawshank Redemption".

Susan Sarandon is much more famous than Tim Robbins.

Representative works include "Thelma and Louise", "Juneflower", "Pretty Baby", "Atlantic City", etc.

She has been nominated twice for the Academy Award for Best Actress.

Link is more familiar with Tim Robbins.

Sam Haskell once visited him at Guess What Films with Tim Robbins.

Susan Sarandon is a very cheerful and straightforward older sister. Apart from having a bit of a big sister temperament, she seems pretty good in other aspects.

"Link, many people say that your film-making skills are terrible."

puff! !

Before Susan Sarandon could finish her words, Tim Robbins spat out a mouthful of beer onto the ground.

"Ahem, Susan, why are you saying this? This is just nonsense from those who are jealous of Link. It's not true. There's no need for you to talk about this here."

Tim Robbins wiped his mouth and quietly tugged at the pocket of Susan Sarandon's jeans from behind with his other hand.

"Don't touch my butt. I haven't finished my sentence yet. How do you know that this question can't be asked?"

Susan Sarandon patted Tim Robbins' hand and continued to ask Link, "Link, many people say that your film-making skills are not good, and your two films are also very average. You only rely on hype to get such a high box office. What do you think of this statement?"

Tim Robbins covered his forehead with his hand, his face full of embarrassment.

Link smiled nonchalantly and said, "I accept criticism, but I don't agree with what they say. When we filmed the first Buried, we had limited funds, so the cameras and other equipment were all rented. The resulting film was unpolished and rough in every way.

"Paranormal Activity" is a pseudo-documentary. In order to pursue authenticity and thriller, I gave up the exquisiteness of the film and did not have strict requirements on the camera, lines, actor performances, scene layout and other aspects.

From an artistic point of view, it does have some shortcomings. But from the perspective of viewing experience, Paranormal Activity is no less than any other thriller. "

"Are you so confident? Compared with classic thrillers like The Shining, Alien, Blade Runner, and Cape Fear, Paranormal Activity is no less impressive?"

Susan Sarandon crossed her legs, a cigarette in her hand and a smile on her face.

Tim Robbins tugged at her clothes and told her to stop asking questions. He didn't know if Link was embarrassed to ask such questions, but now he was almost embarrassed to death.

"Yes, no less. The Shining is essentially a family drama, Alien and Blade Runner are science fiction, and Cape Fear is a drama. None of them can be considered a pure horror film, only Paranormal Activity is.

In this movie, we took horror to its extreme, and all the plots and scenes serve the theme of horror, which is why Paranormal Activity looks more thrilling. "

Link said.

clap clap clap!
"Link, you said it very well."

Tim Robbins said first, “As long as every director can do one setting well, the movie he makes won’t be bad.

Some directors, in pursuit of artistry, deliberately insert a lot of action movies into drama movies, insert a lot of erotic content into action movies, insert comedy elements into science fiction movies, etc., which looks incongruous. I completely agree with your point of view. "

Susan Sarandon glared at him and said, "I didn't say I disagreed. I talked to Link about this because I wanted to see what kind of person he is. Now it seems that he is not as arrogant as the media reports. Instead, he is humble, confident, mature, stable and charming. Tim, you should learn from Link how to be a mature man."

"No. I think you love me in large part because I am immature."

Tim Robbins pulled Susan and laughed.

"Yes, you are my son."

"mom!"

Tim Robbins called it out decisively.

Link and Jennifer Connelly laughed in surprise.

The two have lived together for more than five years, but have not yet married. They probably enjoy this kind of relationship where they can call their son "mom" at any time.

Harmonious and perverted.

"Hey, Link, Tim, Susan, why are you guys drinking together?"

A bald Bruce Willis and his wife Demi Moore came over to say hello.

"I'm a late bloomer, Link is an early bloomer, we get along very well."

Tim Robbins joked.

After Bruce Willis and his wife joined, the atmosphere in the booth became even more lively.

More than a dozen people laughing and chatting together often attract the attention of people around them.

"Recently, many filmmakers have publicly criticized Link in the news. I thought he was hated by everyone in Hollywood. Now it seems that is not the case."

Sitting not far away, supermodel Cindy Crawford, who had a beauty mole on the corner of her lip, supported her chin and looked back at Link.

"Tim Robbins and Link are both clients of WMA. They probably knew each other in the past."

Her husband Richard Gere said with a smile.

"That's true. Bruce Willis knows Quentin Tarantino, but he probably isn't familiar with Link."

Tom Cruise on the other side said.

"Link, Quentin and others are newcomers in the director circle. They have great potential. It would be good to know them."

Nicole Kidman looked back.

"Compared to Quentin and Steven Soderbergh, Link and Robert are far behind. The four of them are not on the same level."

Tom Cruise said.

"Indeed, Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs and John Soderbergh's Sex, Lies and Videotape are obviously of higher artistic level."

Richard Gere echoed.

Nicole Kidman wanted to say something else.

Tom Cruise pulled her hand under the table, applying a little force, suggesting that she stop talking.
