Chapter 424: From now on, quit masturbation

Bang bang bang!

Amidst warm applause, the 54th Golden Globe Awards ceremony came to a successful conclusion.

"The English Patient" won three awards, Best Picture - Drama, Best Director, and Best Supporting Actress, becoming the biggest winner of this year's Golden Globe Awards.

Susan Sarandon won the Best Actress Award for "Dead Man Walking".

"Give Me a Dad" won the Best Foreign Language Film.

Tom Cruise won the Best Actor Award for "Jerry Maguire".

There are 12 awards in the Golden Globe Film Category, and Guess What Pictures won six, accounting for 50%.

After the award ceremony, the media reported on the winners of this year's Golden Globe Awards.

Because Guess What Pictures has won more awards, some media have commented that Hollywood has entered the Guess What Pictures era, and that the Big Seven studios are not only losing ground at the box office, but are also no match for Guess What Pictures in terms of awards.

Some media also commented on Link winning the Best Director Award.

Over the past five years, Link has won the highest awards or best director awards at the three major European film festivals. Now he has won the Golden Globe Awards for Best Director and Best Picture. He is currently only one Oscar away from winning the Grand Slam of European and American film awards.

The media and industry insiders have been speculating whether this year's Oscar judges will give him the Best Director award.

Some predict the Academy will do so.

In the past three years, Link has been nominated for the Best Director Award twice for "Seven Deadly Sins" and "The Sixth Sense", which is equivalent to getting two points.

In addition, last year's "The English Patient" was of very high quality, with better reputation and better box office performance than other films of the same period.

Link is worthy of an Oscar for Best Director.

Some media also believe that it will not happen.

Because Link is too young, too rich, and has too many scandals.

Not long ago, she was rumored to be having an affair with Diana. The Oscar jury is mainly composed of older white men. These people have a very good impression of the princess. Some admire her and some are obsessed with her. Now Diana lives in Link's villa and has publicly stated that she wants to give birth to Link's child.

The judges' favorability rating for him was no more than 10 out of 100.

In addition, Link also has a young body, inexhaustible wealth, and hundreds of young and beautiful girlfriends.

These are things that those old white male judges can only dream of but cannot achieve.

It was hard for them not to be jealous of Link.

Therefore, the possibility of Link winning the Oscar for Best Director this year is very slim.

In addition, Link's acceptance speech on stage was also well received by many filmmakers.

In the past, competition within the film industry often broke the rules and disregarded the future of the entire film industry, leading to some unscrupulous actions, such as industry monopoly, unspoken rules, box office fraud, and over-commercialization of films.

This practice may help film companies make money in the short term, but it actually harms the interests of the entire film industry and all filmmakers. This practice is extremely undesirable.

Link mentioned these in his speech, which shows that he noticed this problem and started to consider it for the entire industry.

This exceeds all managers in the film industry.

Dana Delany, president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, published a comment in the Los Angeles Times, praising Link's remarks and believing them to be visionary. However, he also expected Link to take more concrete measures to lead the development of the industry and become a true leader in the Hollywood film industry.

Baji~ Baji~

"Don't be naughty, it will hurt you."

In the office, Link put down the newspaper brought by Lewinsky, exhaled slowly, took out a pen and wrote a few lines in the notebook.

His speech at the Golden Globe Awards was not bragging, nor was it just nice words to gain praise, but rather a sincere hope to join forces with all his peers.

Manage the film industry like managing a business, use scientific and reasonable methods to improve industry rules, increase total film output, expand film market share, and make the Hollywood film industry more prosperous.

Only when Hollywood movies become more prosperous can he make more money, make more movies and get more rewards. If the film industry becomes niche, no one will watch the movies it makes, the revenue will decline, and the number of people employed in the industry will decrease.

This was a very unfavorable situation for him.

Therefore, after gaining a certain position in the film industry, he began to use his personal influence to correct some shortcomings in the film industry and promote the orderly, stable and healthy development of the film industry.

Judging from the development of the Hollywood film industry in the next 30 years, the biggest threat to the healthy development of the entire film industry is Marvel-style commercial films. Although such films make a lot of money for investors, they bring serious harm to the film industry.

There are ten sins of Marvel-style commercial films: being simple and brainless, the protagonist having a strong halo, homogeneous content and lack of innovation, poor acting skills, heavy reliance on special effects, easy to produce aesthetic fatigue, continuous shooting of sequels to form an assembly line production model, squeezing out the living space of other films, etc.

In response to this problem, he made arrangements very early on, which was to acquire Marvel Entertainment and all its superhero characters in advance. From then on, Marvel characters would only be filmed by Guess Pictures, with one or two films being shot every year, strictly controlling the quantity and quality.

Under the supervision of Guess What Pictures, it is not easy for such movies to become popular.

In addition, he also plans to strictly control many famous film series, including "Pirates of the Caribbean", "Fast and Furious", "Harry Potter", "Twilight", etc., try his best to control the copyright of these stories in his hands, and further curb the proliferation of commercial films in the future.

With some preparations, he believes that the world film market will be more prosperous in the next 40 to 50 years, the film genres will be more diverse, and Guess What Pictures will make more US dollars.

Hum~

Link put down the pen in his hand and stepped back, "Okay Monica, you don't have to do this."

Lewinsky stood up and wiped his cheek, "Boss, am I not doing well?"

"No! You did a great job, but you can't do it for too long, or you'll get hurt."

Link ruffled the woman's fluffy hair and handed her a bottle of purified water.

"It's okay, I just want you to feel more comfortable, boss."

Lewinsky said with blushing cheeks and her eyes became charming and blurred.

"I know, you are the best, and good girls deserve candy."

Link patted her lower back. Lewinsky smiled coquettishly and leaned over the desk obediently to sort out documents. Her black knee-length skirt revealed her huge peach-shaped outline.

Under the 28-degree Celsius sunshine in Los Angeles, the temperature in the office began to rise and the atmosphere became heated.

More than half an hour later, Lewinsky left with a blushing face, and Link continued to look at the documents in his hand.

Ding-a-ling!

The phone on the table rang. Link picked it up and listened to a few words. It was Clinton calling. First, he congratulated him on becoming the youngest Golden Globe Best Director and second, he invited him to attend the inauguration ceremony next week.

Bill ran for re-election last November and was successful. He will hold a second inauguration ceremony in Washington the following week and invited Link to visit.

Link gladly accepted.

When Bill was running for election last year, he just donated some money and contacted CAA, UTA, and WMA agencies to support him, but he didn't do anything else.

But Bill called him personally to invite him to attend.

This face must be given.

Ding-a-ling! Ding-a-ling!

Before he put down the phone, it rang again. Gong Li called and asked if he was in the office.

Link said yes.

Gong Li said she would come over right away and talk to him about something.

Lin Ke waited in the office for more than ten minutes, and Gong Li and Joey Wong arrived together, one wearing a dress with a sweater, and the other wearing a casual T-shirt and jeans. One had a plump figure, and the other had a thin waist and long legs, each with her own style.

After coming to Los Angeles last year, Joey Wong settled here and currently lives in an apartment building with Gong Li, Maggie Cheung, and Ching Xia Lam.

Gong Li and the other two continued to make movies, but Wang Zuxian, who was more interested in Chinese medicine and physiotherapy, followed Link's suggestion and opened a relatively high-end therapy salon on Hollywood Boulevard, which also provided beauty and skin care. Many Hollywood actresses were regular customers of the salon, and business was pretty good.

"How come you have time to come here?"

Link stood up and hugged the two of them, inviting them to sit down in the coffee room, and the assistant brought two drinks.

"I just called Chen Chong, and she said that Zheng Chenggong will be screened in mainland China during the Spring Festival. Do you want to go to the premiere?"

Gong Li asked.

"There is such a plan!"

"Great, I'm also planning to go back to China to celebrate the Spring Festival, how about we go together?"

Gong Li asked, hugging his arm.

"That's fine! But I still have things to do in the next two weeks, so I'll probably go there around the Spring Festival."

"It's okay, I'll wait for you! Anyway, there's nothing to do if you go back early."

Gong Li smiled slightly, and her beautiful oval face became brighter.

Link also asked about the business of Joey Wong’s physiotherapy clinic.

Joey Wong said with a smile that it was not bad. In addition to moxibustion and massage, the physiotherapy clinic now also sells beauty products. The sales volume reached 120,000 US dollars last month.

“Link, Zuxian’s massage skills are very good now. I asked her to massage me once, and my whole body felt very comfortable. Do you want to try it?”

Gong Li smiled.

"Forget it. You know my body is all muscle and hard. It's hard to press it."

"It's okay, give it a try!"

Gong Li pushed his shoulder.

"Link, I've studied massage and my skills are pretty good. Would you like to let me try?"

Joey Wong stretched out her beautiful hand and said.

Link readily followed suit and took off his shirt, revealing his strong and sturdy upper body, two pectoral muscles, eight neatly arranged chocolate abdominal muscles, as well as scapulae, biceps, trapezius, latissimus dorsi, etc., each of which was raised, evenly distributed and solid, as if cast from steel.

Gong Li and Joey Wong were fascinated by his muscles, as if they were works of art, and they could not get enough of them even after seeing them hundreds of times.

Link lay on the sofa and let Joey Wong massage his back.

What he expected was right. After only a few minutes of massage, Wang Zuxian was sweating profusely and her breathing became rapid.

Gong Li found it very interesting and ran over to help.

But Link's muscles were too strong, and the power contained in his body was too great. Even if they used all their strength, they couldn't press him all over. Instead, sweat fell on his body, and his skin became sticky.

Link saw that their hair was disheveled and their clothes were in disarray. He smiled softly and put his arms around their waists.

The noise of nonsense was heard again in the office.

More than an hour later, Gong Li and Joey Wong supported each other and left. Lin Ke looked back at the piles of documents on his desk and couldn't help but sigh. He was so decadent. If he continued like this, he would not be able to finish the work at hand before February.

So starting today, abstain from sex.
