Chapter 481 Report! Two assassins arrested

Bang bang bang!

"Great! The movie is so great!"

“The special effects of “Armageddon” are no less impressive than those of “Independence Day.”

"This will probably be another hit movie. Link is amazing."

In the cinema, after the screening of "The Last Tyrant" ended, there was thunderous applause and cheers.

Stars invited to attend the premiere ceremony, including Schwarzenegger, Tom Hanks, James Cameron, and Tom Cruise, lined up to congratulate Link, Bruce Willis and other main creative staff, praising them for making a wonderful science fiction film.

Michael Eisner and Michael Ovitz from Disney also received many congratulations. Disney is the producer of this film, and if the film sells well, they will be the ones who benefit the most.

"Haha, Link, it seems that our cooperation this time was very successful."

Michael Ovitz couldn't suppress the smile on his face and his eyes narrowed.

"It's too early to say that now. Let's wait until the first week's box office comes out before we talk about success."

Link said quietly.

"Haha, I say the same thing again. If it was a movie directed by another director, I wouldn't be able to guarantee it, but I have full confidence in the box office of the movie you directed."

"I hope you're right."

Link had too much to do, so he stayed at the premiere reception for a while and drove away from the party early.

"Wallace, how are things going?"

Link was asking about the assassination attempt on the red carpet.

“It went very smoothly!”

Wallace explained to him how the two assassins were captured.

The first assassin hid in the crowd of reporters and was first discovered by Bob and Hong Youfu. At first they pretended not to know and just protected Link at close range. After Link walked the red carpet, they sent people to follow the killer and caught him in the parking lot. They found the murder weapon, the 'murder camera' and two communication tools, as well as other items.

The second assassin was noticed by Link first. When the other party fired at a long distance, Link was the first to notice it and left quickly with Liv Tyler.

Wallace and others were immediately informed of the killer's hiding place, and the security team immediately sent people to capture him. At the ventilation hole of a room, they caught a sniper, a 7.62mm AWP sniper rifle, communication equipment and other gear.

After interrogation, it was revealed that both of them were ace assassins of a killer organization. They were hired by their employer to come to Los Angeles to assassinate Link.

"Do they know the employer's information? Why would the employer hire someone to assassinate me?"

"Just like in the movies, after receiving a mission, the killer usually doesn't ask about the employer's identity, why they want to kill, or whether the person they kill is good or bad. They simply kill people as a job."

Wallace shrugged.

Link was helpless. He was just an ordinary director. Apart from being a little bit lustful, he had never done anything bad. He didn't quite understand why someone wanted him dead. Was it just because his company made enough money?

If this is the reason, Bill Gates, Buffett, Soros and others deserve to die even more.

"Is there any way to contact the assassin organization and ask them not to accept any missions related to me?"

"It can be done, but we must be prepared to be blackmailed. In addition, there are many assassin organizations, and one assassin may be connected to multiple organizations. Even if we bribe one organization, we cannot guarantee that other assassin organizations will not do the same."

"So we can only passively defend ourselves?"

"That's right."

Wallace continued, "In fact, it's not just you, boss. Almost all the big names in the world have enemies and are targets of assassin organizations, including President Lincoln and President Kennedy. It's just that some targets are more difficult to assassinate. Considering the risks and costs, they will not easily assassinate big names.

In the past two days, we have taken action to eliminate the gang members involved in the assassination and killed the gold medal killer 'Ladybug'. Today, we captured two more gold medal killers alive. This news will also be passed on to the killer organization.

Once they know that you are surrounded by strict security measures and it is not easy to succeed, they will raise their offer to the employer. If the employer can offer more money, they will continue the assassination. If the employer cannot offer money, the killer organization will give up the mission.

The existence of killer organizations is also to make money, they will not do business at a loss."

"How much is my head worth in the assassin organization?"

“About $1 million.”

"Only one million?"

"Yes, for you, earning a million is easy, less than one-tenth of the film pay, but for ordinary people, they can't make a million in their entire life. The same goes for killers. Ordinary targets cost hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands, while difficult targets cost 100,000 or hundreds of thousands. To them, killing is not a big deal, and human life is not valuable.

However, after today's incident gets out, the assassin organization is expected to increase its offer. If your enemy doesn't have that much money, this round of assassinations will end."

Wallace said.

Link stroked his chin, "Can we join forces with the police, the FBI, or the CIA to take down the assassin organization?"

"It's very difficult. Assassin organizations are spread all over the world, and exist in almost every city in every country. In each city, there may be only one or two assassins or agents. Their identities are mostly hidden, and it is difficult to find them. Even if you find them, you can only wipe out a branch of the assassin organization. It will not have much impact on the entire assassin organization."

Wallace explained.

Link nodded, understanding what he meant.

The killer organization likes to fight guerrilla warfare and has branches all over the world.

If the United States cracks down severely, they can move to areas with a more relaxed environment and come back after a while.

Therefore, using tough measures to deal with killer organizations is generally not very effective.

There are currently two ways to deal with those killers.

The first is to strengthen security defenses and kill the killers as soon as they strike. As more killers die, no one dares to take on this task.

Second, find the employer and get rid of him. Without anyone paying, the killer organization will naturally not continue to carry out the mission.

The first method can be left to the security team and Blackwater around him. Combined with his own protective capabilities, even if the ace killer takes action, he cannot be hurt at all.

But this method has a disadvantage. He can ensure his own safety, but he cannot prevent people around him from being accidentally injured. The women in the family are his treasures, and he doesn't want anyone to get hurt, let alone the children.

The second method is not easy to do either.

During his years in Hollywood, although he was kind to everyone and never made enemies with anyone, with the rise of Flash Gold Capital and Guess What Pictures, he invisibly offended many people and damaged the interests of many of his peers.

There must be a lot of people in Hollywood and Wall Street who want him dead.

Also, because there were too many people with conflicting interests, he was not sure who was hiring the killer.

"Wallace, since the assassin organization is a profit-making organization, can we buy the employer's information from them?"

Link rubbed his chin in thought.

"Well, I'm afraid it's a bit difficult. The assassin organization mainly relies on integrity to attract employers. If they sell out the employer's information, it will be difficult for them to gain a foothold in the assassin industry after it gets out."

"You can give it a try! Even if someone in an organization is honest, it is impossible for all of them to be honest. There will always be people who will sell something out for profit. You can also issue a reward to the relevant organizations and ask them to investigate the employer's information. Anyone with definite clues will be rewarded with $1 million."

"One million? Is that too much? Most gangsters are poor. They wouldn't do this business even if they had money. One million dollars is too much for them."

"It doesn't matter. We can use this method to cause a sensation, draw more attention to this matter, and also give some warning to others who want to make a move."

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

Wallace got out of the car and left.

Link drummed his fingers on the armrest of the sofa, feeling helpless.

After entering the entertainment industry, he has been very low-key. No matter if his movies are selling well or he is on the Forbes rich list, he rarely shows off his wealth. His clothes and shoes only cost a few dozen dollars, and he has used his car for four or five years without changing it.

When making a movie, as long as someone offered to cooperate, he would not refuse and would take the initiative to share the dividends of the film industry with his peers.

But even so, there are still people who want to harm him. It's really too much.
