Chapter 397 Men and Women in the Gym
The biggest gain from the preview of "The English Patient" was not the improvement in the quality of the film, but the 20% increase in physical strength.
After gaining the physical bonus, his physical fitness doubled compared to before, more impurities were discharged from his body, he was stronger, faster, and his reaction ability was twice as fast as before. If he encountered a street shooting again, he was confident that he could flexibly avoid the bullets when the other party fired.
In terms of endurance and stamina, it has doubled compared to before, far exceeding the normal human range.
In addition, during testing, he found that his control over his muscles and organs had also improved significantly.
This change made him very excited. Improving control over muscles and organs has many benefits, including controlling weight, enhancing physical fitness and endurance, improving basal metabolism, enhancing body resistance, promoting hormone secretion in the body, etc.
If one achieves 100% control over muscles and organs, one can adjust the state of the body at will, an ability no different from that of a superman.
However, his control over his organs is currently not very strong and he is still in the exploratory stage. If he wants to become stronger, he needs to continue filming.
Link continued to lift weights and push presses in the gym to see what other changes there were in his body.
"Link! Still training?"
There were footsteps in the corridor, and Winona Ryder walked over, with her black hair loose and wearing a white Chanel summer dress, bringing a refreshing jasmine scent to the room.
The woman's white arms were resting on the barbell rack, and her bright eyes were looking at Link who was doing weighted push-ups in the open space.
He had a bare muscular upper body and wore grey sports shorts. On his strong back were two 30kg barbell plates, which together weighed more than 100 pounds.
But Link still looks relaxed when doing push-ups, and sometimes he can even do some tricks, like pushing himself up and high-fiving, which looks very cool.
What's even cooler is Link's body. His muscles are bulging, firm and well-proportioned. He looks more pleasing to the eye than those muscular men who eat protein powder. After a layer of sweat, the shape of his muscles exudes a strange sexiness and is more visually impactful.
Winona considers herself not a lustful woman, but when she sees Link's muscles, her mind can't help but emerge with the days and nights she slept with him and the crazy and confusing things they did together.
Winona swallowed, her face getting hot.
"Winona, do you want to talk to me about something?"
Link took the weight plate off his back and stood up.
"It's nothing important, why don't you continue your exercise and we can talk later."
Winona Ryder smiled slightly.
"Go ahead, I've been practicing for the whole morning, and I'm going to stop if you don't come."
"Well, everyone says you have good taste, so it's better to ask you to read the script before accepting a role. I'm also here to read the script with you. Do you think I'm annoying?"
"No, I like you to harass me."
Link pinched her smooth cheeks, sat on the barbell bench, and took the script handed to him by Winona, which was called "Shakespeare's Love Story".
The screenplay was written by Todd Stoppard and Mark Norman.
Todd Stoppard is a famous British playwright. His representative works include "Rosencrantz and Gilgeous-Alexander Are Dead" and "Following Margaret". He won the Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Play in 1968.
Mark Norman is also a well-known screenwriter in the circle. His representative works include "Top Gun", "Cutthroat Island" and "Killer Elite".
"Shakespeare in Love" is a fictional work by Mark Norman based on Shakespeare's personal experience.
The general plot of the script is that in the summer of 1593, William Shakespeare faced a major crisis while working as a screenwriter for the theater. He lost his writing inspiration, and no matter what method he used, he could not find the inspiration and motivation to create the next play.
Someone suggested that he fall in love with a woman and get inspiration through love. At first, Shakespeare didn't take it seriously, but he fell in love with a woman, Lady Vera, while working.
Lady Vera is a drama lover and a fan of Shakespeare. When she heard that he was filming a new play, she disguised herself as a man and came to the theater for an audition.
The two were attracted to each other during their contact and fell in love.
In love, Shakespeare wrote "Juliet and Romeo".
After reading the script, Link was reminded of a movie called "Shakespeare in Love".
The film won the Best Picture Award at the 1999 Academy Awards, beating the popular film "Saving Private Ryan".
The leading actress Gwyneth Paltrow also won the Best Actress Award for the film.
However, this award is extremely controversial, and Gwyneth Paltrow is nicknamed the "Oscar Water Queen" by fans.
Since the film was distributed by Miramax Films, Harvey Weinstein also became famous in the entertainment industry because of the film's strong award-winning performance, and he topped the Hollywood power list for the first time.
In addition, after Gwyneth won the award, some media revealed that the original heroine of "Shakespeare in Love" was Winona Ryder.
She and Gwyneth are both Jewish and have a good relationship. After Gwyneth saw the script at her home, she secretly contacted Harvey Weinstein and snatched the role away.
The American TV series "2 Broke Girls" also publicly discussed this interesting story.
The authenticity is higher.
However, since Winona joined the villa, she has been getting along well with Jennifer Connelly, Michelle Pfeiffer and others, and often sleeps together at night. She doesn't interact much with Gwyneth, so Gwyneth has no chance to see the script.
"Link, how is it?"
Winona sat next to him with her arm around him.
"Very good. I've heard of this script. It is said that Universal Pictures is going to ask Julia Roberts to play Mrs. Vera. How did they find you?"
When he was considering a new movie at the beginning of last year, he looked for this script. When he heard that the copyright was in the hands of Universal Pictures and preparations had already begun, he did not intervene and instead chose to adapt "The English Patient."
"Julia is not going to act anymore. After she received the script, she wanted to work with Daniel Day-Lewis, but Mr. Lewis did not agree. Julia later had a new movie and gave up the role. After she refused to act, Universal Pictures was worried about losing money and temporarily shelved the project. A few days ago, screenwriter Mark Norman found me through my agent and hoped that I would replace Julia Roberts as Mrs. Vera and restart this film project."
Winona said.
"So that's how it is."
Universal Pictures wanted to abandon the project, but screenwriter Mark Norman was unwilling to do so and wanted to find a new collaborator to replace Julia. Winona had played an English lady in "The Passion of Youth" and "Bram Stoker's Dracula", and received high praise in the circle after the movie was released.
This is probably why Mark Norman asked her to play Lady Vera.
"This script is good, you can continue it. If Universal Pictures doesn't invest, you can contact Mark Norman and ask him to take the script to Guess Pictures for cooperation."
“Is this script worth investing in?”
Winona Ryder hugged his arms and her expression became joyful.
"Movies with a British background are very popular in the United States. With Shakespeare as a celebrity, the box office won't be too bad. It's worth investing in."
"Okay, I'll contact Mark Norman in a moment."
Winona hooked her arms around his neck and raised her delicate face for a kiss.
Link smiled softly, pulling the petite girl into his arms and kissing her pink lips.
It was just a kiss at first, but the black-haired girl gradually became excited and clung to his arms, asking for more affection, and his movements gradually became bigger.
The fair skin looks particularly attractive and dazzling against the black metal frame.
