Chapter 422: The Singing Birds and the Fragrance of Flowers in the Study
Shortly after Ben and Matt left, Link also left the club with Jennifer and Cameron.
"Ben Affleck is such a nasty guy, he has a stinky face and speaks rudely."
In the car, Cameron Diaz said with a pout.
"Yes, that guy is so annoying, Link, don't film with him next time."
Jennifer Lopez said as she put her arm around Link.
Link smiled lightly. He had not noticed it before, but today, when Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez met face to face, he suddenly remembered that they seemed to be a couple who had been in love on and off for decades. He didn't know which butterfly flapped its wings and made them dislike each other.
"Ben is not that bad. He is just immature and cunning, like a child who has not grown up. Don't be angry with him."
"I'm not mad at him. I just don't like hearing him say you're a playboy. What does your being a playboy have to do with him? We all like you and it has nothing to do with him. But he just said something that no one likes. Yes, you're right. That guy is just a childish guy."
Jennifer Lopez said.
Link smiled and hugged the two of them intimately, and the two women responded enthusiastically.
The journey was supposed to take more than ten minutes, but the car took more than half an hour on the road.
After returning to the villa, Jennifer and Cameron went upstairs to take a shower and change clothes. Link came to the living room of the main building, but before he entered, he heard someone laughing and playing.
After Monica Liu Xiaoli's older girlfriends became pregnant, only a dozen younger girlfriends were left in the villa, such as Sofia, Mila, Renée Zellweger, Nicole Kidman, Charlize Theron, etc.
The New Year has just passed and the various crews have not started work, so they spend more time at home and their home is very lively every day.
"Link, you're back!"
Nicole Kidman and Cindy Crawford quickly came over, helped him take off his coat, pulled him upstairs, and said they wanted to play a game with him.
"What game?"
"What other game could it be? It must be an adult game."
Renée Zellweger chimed in.
"No, it's a fun game."
Nicole Kidman rolled her eyes at her and pushed Link's back upstairs.
After arriving at Nicole Kidman's bedroom, Nicole pushed him to the bed, which was covered with a blanket.
From the outline under the blanket, it could be seen that there was a person underneath.
Nicole Kidman asked him to touch and guess who was under the blanket.
Renée Zellweger joked that it would be better to use other methods instead of eyes and hands to judge, and said she could help him.
Nicole Kidman also asked him with a smile if he wanted to try it.
Link didn't agree. He walked to the bed and took a look. The person under the blanket was petite with good measurements, but a little thin. Compared with the woman at home, she lacked the roundness and fleshiness, and the lines of her hips were flatter.
As he touched it, the person under the blanket trembled slightly, as if he was very nervous.
Link immediately stopped what he was doing. She tensed up instead of laughing when he touched her, which meant that since she wasn't a woman from home, he wouldn't touch her too much.
He deliberately guessed wrong and said it was Liv. Nicole Kidman smiled and said no, and asked him to touch it more, maybe he could find the answer.
He guessed it was Winona Ryder again, and everyone laughed and said it was wrong again.
The final answer was revealed, it was Naomi Watts who came to visit.
Naomi Watts sat up hugging a blanket and greeted him with rosy cheeks. She had a girlish face with small and delicate cheeks, shy and reserved eyes, and long golden hair draped over her shoulders, making her cheeks look even smaller. She looked like a girl of eighteen or nineteen years old.
Link shook his head. What nonsense! After Liu Xiaoli and Monica went to Seattle to take care of their babies, the management of the house began to become chaotic. Others no longer stayed overnight according to the normal schedule. Cheating occurred frequently, jealousy began to rise, and girlfriends tried all kinds of ways to please him. Today, Nicole Kidman played this game.
This phenomenon cannot continue.
He plans to talk to Sophia, Jodie Foster and Renée Zellweger when he has time, asking them to keep their household affairs under control and not let the house become too chaotic.
He said hello to Naomi and went upstairs to the study to do his work.
——
In its third week of release, "The English Patient" earned $28.73 million at the box office, and the cumulative box office in North America reached 103 million U.S. dollars, becoming the sixth movie released by Guess What Films in 1996 to break the $100 million box office in North America.
The top five are "The Internet," "Rush Hour," "Final Destination 2," "Toy Story," and "Scream."
In January, three films under Guess Pictures participated in the 47th Berlin International Film Festival Awards, including Sofia's "Girl, Interrupted", "The Ice Storm" directed by Ang Lee, and "Boogie Nights" directed by Thomas Anderson.
In the end, "Girl, Interrupted" won the Best Actress Award, Juliette Binoche won the Award, "The Ice Storm" won the Best Screenplay Award, and "Boogie Nights" won the Special Jury Award.
In addition to the film industry, he also needs to deal with the annual investment plan of Flash Gold Capital, the year-end summary of various projects of Guess What Pictures, the incubation of Marvel Entertainment's superhero projects, and Kingsoft Investment's annual summary and plan for the coming year, etc.
Most of these were tasks that had accumulated during the filming of the movie. After the filming of Saving Private Ryan was completed, he needed to take the time to read the materials and understand the company's dynamics.
While he was reading the information, Nicole Kidman came in with a cup of steaming hot cocoa and placed it quietly on the desk. Seeing that he was busy, the woman didn't say much and left quietly.
After more than half an hour or an hour, after he had read more than ten documents, Nicole Kidman tiptoed in again and helped him get a cup of hot coffee.
"What are you doing? Why are you so diligent today?"
Link put his arm around her soft waist and pulled her gently. The woman fell into his arms, her plump buttocks sitting on his lap. Nicole's height of 180cm would seem too solid for many men, but she was still light and slim for him.
"Have you finished your work?"
Nicole Kidman rested her head on his shoulder, blinking her blue eyes with a charming and seductive expression.
"Take a break in between."
Link stretched his fingers that had become stiff from holding the pen for so long, and put his hand into the woman's pajamas to slowly regain flexibility.
Nicole Kidman rolled her eyes at him, "You're teasing me again! Why don't you continue reading the documents, or they'll blame me for interrupting your work."
Link smiled lightly, and not only did he not stop, his movements became even more wanton.
Nicole Kidman's fair cheeks were flushed, and she hugged his neck tightly and asked, "Were you angry just now?" Nicole Kidman spoke softly and seemed very careful.
"Angry? When?"
"I asked Naomi to hide under the blanket and asked you to guess. Do you like this game?"
"It's a very interesting game, but Naomi Watts is not a member of the family, and it's inappropriate to tease her in this way."
Link pulled his hand out and ruffled her loose hair.
"It's okay, Naomi and I are friends, she won't mind."
"Just because you are friends, you should respect her even more. No matter what level of actress she is or how much she is worth, we should treat her as a friend, not an object to be teased. If we act too proud or unscrupulous and don't care about other people's feelings, it will be difficult to have true friends even if we succeed in the end."
Nicole Kidman looked at him quietly in his arms. After he finished speaking, she happily hugged his neck and tilted her head back to give him a sweet kiss.
"Dear, I made a mistake. Thank you for reminding me. I promise to pay attention in the future and never do such embarrassing things again."
"It's good that you know you're wrong. I'll punish you tonight."
Link patted her butt.
Nicole Kidman rolled her eyes coquettishly, slowly stood up and squatted under the desk. She stood up again after he finished reading five documents. Her delicate cheeks became more charming and seductive. "Honey, do you think Naomi is beautiful?"
"Not bad, a Barbie doll type beauty."
"Actually, Naomi likes you too, but she just hasn't had the chance to get in touch with you. She wants to ask me for help. Should we give her a chance?"
Nicole Kidman asked carefully.
"I remember that she was doing well at UTA agency and had no shortage of roles. Why did she do this?"
"No, Naomi wants to be your woman because she admires you, not for resources."
"Really?" Link smiled. "That sounds good. If she hasn't left, please invite her to stay for dinner."
"Well, Naomi will be very happy when she knows that."
Link didn't care whether Nicole Kidman's words were true or false, and he didn't care why Naomi Watts joined his girlfriend group. He would not refuse a beautiful woman with great potential to join him.
After Nicole Kidman left, Link continued to look through the documents. After a while, Jodie Foster walked in with a red apple in her hand, but it was not for him, she was eating it herself.
"Do we have to finish reading these documents today? Why not leave them for later?"
Jodie Foster asked as she leaned her butt against the desk, pressing down on two stacks of documents more than a foot high with her fingers.
"I'll read more today if I have time. I may not have time tomorrow. How will your script go?"
"Not bad. We had a great time chatting at the script meeting and are all looking forward to the filming of this movie starting soon."
Jodie Foster curled her lips and had a bright smile on her face.
After finishing her role in "Contact" at the end of last year, she began preparing for a new movie. After careful selection, she selected three scripts and asked Link to help her take a look. Link chose a story called "Priceless Family Love".
It tells the story of the heroine Ellen Golden who works for a New York magazine after graduating from Harvard University.
One day she was told by her father that her mother was seriously ill and needed surgery. She was forced to put down her work and return home to take care of her mother. However, she became very troubled by the trivialities in life and could no longer maintain her identity as an independent woman.
As Thanksgiving and Christmas approached, everyone understood that this might be the last holiday for their mother before her death. In the process of being busy for the family, Alan Golden gradually realized something, and his feelings for his mother and family became turbulent and sincere.
After the script was selected, the crew officially launched the project with a production cost of 18 million US dollars. Renée Zellweger was chosen to play the heroine, Meryl Streep was chosen to play the mother role, and the father role was played by veteran actor William Hurt. The other actors are also good actors.
The new film project is progressing smoothly, which makes Judy very happy.
"Would you like me to be the producer of this play?"
"No! You participated in too many parts of Hachiko. After the movie was released, many people said that your shadow was in the movie. This time I want to direct it independently and complete it 100% by myself."
Jodie Foster waved her hand, paused, and then said, "But after the filming, you can help me edit it, and by the way, help me review the shots and structure to see if there is room for correction."
Link laughed and said, "The editor determines the rise and fall of the film's story, controls the film's narrative rhythm and structure, and even affects the film's artistic style. If you let me be the editor, I'm afraid it will be difficult not to add my personal style."
Jodie Foster thought about whether she should change the editor. However, Link was the most powerful editor in Hollywood. The movies edited by him could be improved to a higher level. She was not confident to change to someone else.
"No! You are the best editor in the world, and you must have more than one style. When you help me edit the film, you can use another style. I believe you can do a good job."
Jodie Foster reached out and handed him the half-eaten apple, and asked flatteringly, "It's sweet, do you want to try it?"
Link glanced at her, reached out and picked her up, put her on the desk and gave her a good beating, using this as payment for the editor.
In the end, Jodie Foster left on the cotton floor, holding onto the door and shouting that she wanted Brooke Shields, Diane Lane, and Cameron to help her get revenge.
Link pointed to the puddle of stuff she had left on the table.
Jodie Foster blushed, spat at him, and walked away without looking back.
