Chapter 479: A car accident on the road

After the filming of "Pirates of the Caribbean" was completed, Link returned to Los Angeles with the film to edit and start the post-production of the film.

I took some time out to attend the internal preview of "The Truman Show".

"The Truman Show" was completed in April.

There are not many special effects used in the film, and the work on music and interludes was done at the same time as the filming of the movie.

The workload of post-production is not large, and now the production department of Guess What Pictures is only responsible for his film production, so the post-production speed is faster than before.

The preview of "The Truman Show" was very successful. After the film was over, all the people who were invited to attend the preview cheered and applauded. Monica, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Julianne Moore were more sentimental and were so moved that they kept wiping away tears while watching the film.

Quentin Tarantino also congratulated him unhappily on making a good movie, saying that this kind of movie should not be made by someone like him who is obsessed with money.

Sophia, Tim Robbins, Richard Linklater and other directors praised "The Truman Show" for its high artistic level, which is no less than "Saving Private Ryan" and "The Shawshank Redemption" and other films.

After watching the movie, Jim Carrey kept thanking him, saying that this movie made him no longer an actor who relied on nonsensical performances to attract audiences, but a serious actor with good acting skills.

The system also rates the movie highly.

His participation in the film was 75.1%, the film's completion rate was 98.3%, and the film's compliance with the market was 89%.

Rewards include 2.7 times the box office subsidy; director experience +15%; director physical fitness +15%; film quality increase +16%.

"Link, congratulations, your company has produced another hit movie."

Michael Ovitz suppressed his jealousy and said congratulations with a smile.

"Thank you! But The Truman Show is an art film, and the threshold for viewing is relatively high. It is not certain whether it will be a big hit after it is released."

"Haha, you're too modest. Other people's movies are uncertain, but your movie will definitely be a hit. How about we make a bet? Let's bet 10 million."

Ovitz laughed.

"Forget it. There are two things I hate most in my life: gambling and drugs. I never touch these two things."

"Haha, you are so self-disciplined."

Ovitz said with a forced smile, cursing in his heart, this bastard said he didn't want to gamble. He made tens of millions from him by betting against him in the past few years. After winning the money, this bastard said he hated gambling. It was too shameless.

If Link could hear what Ovitz was thinking, he would definitely deny what he said, because the bet had no risk and was no different from picking up money, so it could not be considered gambling.

"Link, congratulations on making another great movie."

Robert Shea, Graydon Carter and others also came to congratulate.

After the preview, Link and his girlfriends drove home.

"My dear, you have been so busy these past few months that you haven't had any time to rest. Now that the film is finished, would you consider taking a few days off?"

Monica asked, leaning against his shoulder.

"The next movie will start shooting in October, and we can take a two-month break. Do you want to go to the island?"

Link asked as he looked at his girlfriends.

"Okay, it would be nice to go on vacation to the island."

“I miss the beaches and sunshine on the island.”

"There are too many paparazzi in Los Angeles. I feel more comfortable on the island."

Monica, Michelle, Sandra, Jennifer and others expressed their opinions.

Link smiled, thinking of the carefree time he had with his girlfriends on the island, he became a little impatient.

However, this time when he went on vacation to the island, in addition to enjoying the vacation with his girlfriends, he also had another purpose - to learn how to fly a plane.

This idea came up a long time ago.

After reading the script for Pearl Harbor, he decided to turn the idea into reality.

If you know how to fly a plane, you can fly the plane when filming "Pearl Harbor" and take more exciting shots in the air to improve the quality of the movie.

In addition, there is an airport on Lanai, which makes it convenient to learn to fly an airplane.

As for the issue of safety, with his current abilities, he is sure to save his life even if the plane explodes in the air.

In addition, if you learn how to drive, you can also take your girlfriends on a date in the air.

This kind of thing is very exciting to think about.

Link hugged Monica and kissed her fragrant hair.

Bang!

Creak!

Suddenly, there was a sound of tire explosion outside the window, followed by a minibus tilting its head and hitting a box truck, which in turn hit the car on the left. When the accident happened, Link's commercial vehicle suddenly accelerated, avoided a car next to it, and stopped on the side of the road.

The cars nearby didn't have time to brake and crashed into each other.

There was a loud sound of crashes and brakes at the scene.

In less than ten seconds, the road leading from Hollywood Boulevard to Beverly Hills became a mess.

After the car accident, Link's business car and the bodyguard car behind it stopped, and the bodyguards drew their weapons and stood on guard.

After the car in front moved away, the two cars continued to move forward and quickly left the accident scene.

Your own safety is more important than curiosity.

"What a pity, those guys didn't even take action."

In the next lane, a gray Buick was parked on the side of the road. Bald Johnson said as he looked at the business car leaving.

“It’s a pity.”

Killer Jon saw the messy driveway in the rearview mirror.

Earlier, when they were following Link's car from downstairs of Guess What Pictures, they found that a group of armed men were also following and seemed to be planning to attack Link.

In order to get the two groups to fight earlier so that they could take advantage of the situation, the killer Jon shot the tire of the minibus, causing traffic chaos and creating an opportunity for the militants to take action.

Unfortunately, after Link's car stopped, the group of people remained in the car and did not take any action.

There was no exchange of fire between the two sides.

The two of them didn't have the chance to take advantage of the chaos to pick up kills.

"Let's go. There's still a chance. 'Unrivaled Tribulation' is released on Friday. Link is the director and he will definitely show up. We'll find a chance to make a move then."

Bald Johnson started the car and left.

"Link, what just happened?"

In the business car, after Monica and others left the scene, they kept looking at the car accident scene behind them.

"It's too hot. Maybe a car's tire burst."

Link said nonchalantly.

"It was too dangerous. It almost hit our car."

"Don't worry, we're safe."

Link put his arms around Monica and Michelle's waists.

After the car returned to the mountaintop villa, he separated from the women and went to the security building for a meeting to ask for the opinions of Bob, Hong Youfu and others.

The two said the initial noise was gunfire, not the sound of car tires exploding.

To ordinary people's ears, there is not much difference between the sound of tire explosions and gunshots, but to soldiers who have been on the battlefield, the difference between the two is huge, and they can distinguish them even on a noisy road.

Link called Wallace to investigate.

Half an hour later, Wallace called and said that their men had found a group of eight militants at the scene of the car accident. There were not only rifles and short rifles, but also grenades and rocket launchers in the car.

After they learned about the situation, they arranged for people to track and contacted the Los Angeles police to arrest them. The militants and the Los Angeles police exchanged fire on Interstate 10.

The firefight lasted six minutes.

The police were defeated.

The militants drove away.

Their men are still tracking the militants, trying to find out where they are.

"Is my target theirs?"

"There is a certain possibility, but we are still investigating whether it is true or not."

"I have some spare money, about $1 million. Contact the Los Angeles police. If they can eliminate these people, the money will be transferred to the police account in the name of a donation."

"Boss, the Los Angeles police are not very strong in combat. It's better to hand it over to Blackwater than to ask them to do it. They are more powerful and can wipe out those people in less than two minutes."

Wallace suggested.

"The police have a legitimate reason to arrest gang members. Blackwater is a security company and does not have the power to enforce the law, so it is not convenient for them to take action. However, the Los Angeles police can ask Blackwater for protection when they take action, and they can also sacrifice fewer police officers."

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away."

After hanging up the phone, Link asked Bob and Hong Youfu to send more people to patrol to prevent accidents.

When we arrived at the backyard, the girlfriends were having a party by the pool in bikinis, and the scenery was amazing.

He smiled softly, changed into beach shorts and joined in.
