Chapter 377 Harvey's Bloody Proposal
“It’s very necessary. Link is worth billions and will be even richer in the future. Guess what, the market value of the film industry is also rising steadily and will be even more valuable in the future.
If we don't resolve the issue quickly now and delay it, guess what, the film industry will become even stronger.
Our race will slowly lose the power to rule Hollywood and will have no place in Hollywood.
We have to do this for the survival of the species.”
Harvey glanced at the faces of the three people and said sinisterly, "You don't have to worry about the consequences. Link is an orphan. Apart from his girlfriends, he has no relatives in the United States. As long as we kill him, we can cut off the roots, and no one will avenge him afterwards. This is the simplest and most direct way, and it will also have the best effect."
"This is too extreme. Link is a big shot. Using this method to deal with him will have too much negative impact."
Ovitz shook his head.
"Humph! We have had four presidents killed in assassinations. Compared to killing a president, how much negative impact can the death of a Chinese director have?"
Harvey sneered.
Ovitz looked at Longmeyer and Barry Diller, "What do you think?"
Ron Mayer and Barry Diller frowned in thought.
"The shooting had too much of an impact, and it would be difficult for the police to investigate afterwards."
"Indeed, assassination is worse than shooting. Letting Link disappear quietly or slowly die of illness will have less impact."
The two people expressed their opinions.
Harvey laughed after hearing this. "Very good. Since we all agree to eliminate Link, what remains is the means to deal with him. On this point, we can slowly discuss and try to find a method with the best effect and the least impact."
Ovitz and the other two looked at each other and nodded.
Before leaving, Harvey forced the three of them to swear in front of the racial statue that they would never reveal a word to the outside world.
Ovitz and the other two also did as he said and would never reveal what was discussed today to the fifth person. If they violated the rules, they would be struck by lightning and killed.
A-sneezes
"Feihong, it's quite windy here, you should go back to the set and rest first. You don't have to stay here with me."
On the Alcatraz set in San Francisco, Link put down the director's script and spoke to Yu Feihong who was covering her nose beside him.
"I'm fine. I'm wearing a windbreaker and I'm warm. My neck just felt a little itchy. I didn't catch a cold."
Yu Feihong smiled slightly.
She was wearing a yellow fleece jacket, blue jeans, and thick-soled leather boots, which did a good job of keeping warm.
But she has a slim figure, fair and delicate cheeks, speaks softly, and looks frail.
Seeing that she was indeed fine, Link did not try to persuade her anymore and continued with the work at hand.
"Link, are you okay with just your shirt on? Do you want me to go back and get you a jacket?"
Yu Feihong touched the cotton shirt on his body. He was only wearing a T-shirt underneath, which felt very thin.
"It's okay. I'm warm, so this little bit of cool breeze won't affect me."
Link pressed his warm palm against her cold cheek, letting her feel his warmth.
Yu Feihong smiled slightly, rubbed her cheek on his palm, and stopped persuading him.
After sleeping with Link for countless days and nights, she got to know Link more and more, and realized that he was very strong and never caught a cold, had a fever, or had other minor illnesses.
Even in the cold winter, his hands and feet were very warm, and his body was sometimes as hot as a red-hot iron, making people's souls tremble.
Standing beside him, Yu Feihong found herself becoming more and more infatuated with him. In the past, she was infatuated with his talent, power, and good looks, but now she was more infatuated with his body and often couldn't help wanting to embrace him.
This discovery made her secretly ashamed. She thought that she was probably influenced by Chen Chong, Chen Hong and Rosamund Kwan and had become a little lustful.
"boss!"
While observing the set, assistant Lewinsky came over with a phone.
Robert Shea, Jay Maloney and others called to congratulate him on Guess What Pictures' winning the annual box office championship;
Vanity Fair editor-in-chief Graydon Carter, Los Angeles Times deputy editor Ross Stanton and others called and wanted to interview him with a few questions about several transcripts released by The Hollywood Reporter.
Link said he didn't have time and would talk to them after get off work in the afternoon.
He continued to be busy on the set, drawing a sketch in half an hour and handing it to the set designer and prop master to arrange the set according to the design.
After finishing filming in the afternoon, Link took a bath with Yu Feihong and Jennifer Aniston who came to visit. After sending the two back to the bedroom, he went to the living room to make a phone call.
Vanity Fair editor-in-chief Graydon Carter congratulated him on Guess What Pictures' winning streak of the year's box office and asked him how he felt.
Link said it was very good. The reason why it was good here was not only because Guess the Movies made a lot of money last year, but also because he had a great time with Yu Feihong and Jennifer just now.
It was originally thought that Yu Feihong and Jennifer were not familiar with each other and would be shy taking a bath together, but Yu Feihong was not like that. She behaved very well and worked together with Jennifer, pushing and helping each other. Afterwards, their relationship became closer.
Graydon Carter asked him what his plans were for this year and whether he had the confidence to continue to top the annual box office charts?
Link said he would do his best.
"Link, this year, the North American box office of Guess What Films has reached 1.28 billion U.S. dollars, which is roughly equal to the total box office of the second-place Universal Pictures and the third-place Disney, and is also equal to the total box office of the bottom three companies.
After this data came out, there were many media reports of Guess What Movies threatening the company, saying that if Guess What Movies continued to grow, it would take up more box office share, and the seven major movie studios would not be able to make money and would face bankruptcy, and other independent film companies would be in even worse shape. What do you think of this argument? "
Graydon Carter asked.
Link laughed and said, "This statement is too pessimistic. Since its inception, Guess What Pictures has actively sought cooperation with its peers, including Columbia, MGM, Warner Bros., New Line Cinema, Miramax, Mark Gordon Film Studio, etc.
We at Guess What Pictures are very happy to share profits with our peers. As long as all film companies can cooperate with us with an open and inclusive attitude, they can share the dividends of Guess What Pictures' development. With everyone's cooperation, the North American film market will become more prosperous and everyone can make money."
"Link, what you mean is that other film companies will look for you to cooperate if they want to make money. If they don't cooperate with you and the company goes bankrupt, it has nothing to do with you?"
"Gray, Guess What Pictures is a company, not a savior. Our goal is to make more good movies to entertain the audience, not to support poor households."
"That makes sense. I have another question. Guess What Movies continues to dominate the charts, which has caused the Big Seven to feel an unprecedented crisis. The Big Seven will definitely not sit idly by. If they really join hands to oppose Guess What Movies' expansion, do you have the confidence to defeat them in this situation?"
Graydon Carter asked.
"This assumption is not true. Let's guess. The film industry has already established cooperative relationships with Columbia, MGM, Fox, and Warner Bros., and will continue to cooperate with the other three film companies in the future. By then, the major film companies will all be partners, and they will prosper together and suffer together. The seven major film companies will not do such a thing that harms others and does not benefit themselves."
"Well, I hope you guys guess that the film industry is getting stronger and stronger, and it ranks first in the total box office every year."
"Thanks!"
After discussing a few issues, Link hung up the phone and called other people back, and in the middle he received a call from lawyer Sean Tang.
The media that had previously participated in hyping up his negative information, including ABC TV and World Entertainment News, promised to make financial compensation after receiving the court summons, hoping that they would withdraw the lawsuit. However, the financial compensation given by several media companies was not much, with the highest being US$50,000 and the lowest being only a few thousand dollars.
Sean Tang asked him if he wanted to agree?
Considering that litigation is time-consuming and that media outlets such as ABC TV are quick to admit their mistakes, Link agreed to take the money and withdraw the lawsuit. At the same time, he called Michael Leeson and asked them to donate the money in a high-profile manner to promote a positive image for the company.
Michael Rison understood.
After finishing the call, Link went back to the bedroom to rest.
Yu Feihong and Jennifer were too tired from playing just now, and were now sleeping soundly in the bed with their white arms crossed.
Link kissed their foreheads, leaned on the soft pillow and thought about the day's events for a while, then fell asleep comfortably with the person beside him in his arms.
