Chapter 454: Changes of the Beautiful Assistant
"Link, I have a suggestion for you. Bring a few more bodyguards with you when you go out, so you don't get beaten up."
Quentin said on the phone.
"Got it. I have at least four bodyguards when I go out now, and my car has been modified to be bulletproof, so there is no need to worry about being assassinated."
Link replied to Quentin as he looked at the document.
"Well, you're probably the most hated director in Hollywood history. I think it's all the American dollars that have ruined you. If you hadn't started Guess What and made so much money, you might have been the greatest director in the world."
"No need to assume, I am now the greatest director of all time."
Link laughed.
Quentin snorted. "No kidding. Guess when the film studio is going to release Kill Bill?"
"It was originally planned to be released in December, but the box office performance of "Saving Private Ryan" and "Titanic" was too strong, and it would be difficult to get a good box office result at this time. The distribution department plans to release "Kill Bill" in March next year."
"Humph! You are underestimating the movie by thinking that way. Kill Bill is a great movie. Even if it is released this week, it will still achieve excellent results and even win the weekly box office championship. As the screenwriter of the movie, you should have more confidence in this movie."
Quentin said unhappily.
Link smiled and said, "I know, I am also very confident about this movie, but Saving Private Ryan is also our movie. Releasing Kill Bill at this time will compete with Saving Private Ryan, which will cause the company to lose a lot of box office revenue."
"Okay, then it will be released in March. Hopefully Kill Bill can also make $700 million or $800 million worldwide."
"I hope so."
Link smiled and hung up the phone.
"Boss, every time you talk on the phone with Director Quentin, it takes the longest time. Today, it lasted more than 20 minutes."
Aishwarya Rai took the phone and smiled.
"Yes, Quentin is a long-winded ghost. Every time I call him, I waste a lot of time."
Link continued to write and draw on the director's notebook.
After more than two months of filming, the theme scenes of "Peerless Tribulation" have been basically completed, and there are still many special effects parts left. This part needs to be shot in a studio, and then with the addition of computer special effects technology, to make the space scenes more realistic and visually impactful.
While he was busy working, Aishwarya did not leave and stood behind him to help him massage his shoulders.
Aishwarya is a genuine Indian. She is very good at yoga and has also learned some massage techniques.
After working with him for a few months, Aishwarya inevitably developed a liking for him and would even do some intimate actions with him in private when no one was around.
Link will respond when he has time, such as hugging, kissing, and touching the girl's skin when she performs belly dancing.
At first, Aishwarya was shy and conservative, but as time went by, the girl gradually became bolder and sometimes would take the initiative to lean into his arms and ask for a kiss, as if she was in love.
Link also liked this kind of young and passionate contact, and he would give the girl a positive response every time he didn't have much work to do.
Boom boom boom
There were knocks on the door a few times. Link patted the girl in his arms who was kissed until she was limp all over. Aishwarya opened her eyes, blinked her eyelashes like a small fan, kissed him on the face, twisted her soft waist, stood up and opened the door.
Looking at her slender waist, Link couldn't help but think of her beautiful belly dancing.
"Link, are you busy?"
Ben Affleck walks in to say hello.
"It's something at work, are you okay?"
"Yes, it's about the Batman sequel. Warner Bros. Pictures is preparing a sequel and they invited me to continue playing Batman, but I heard that the director of the sequel is not you."
Ben Affleck asked.
"I have discussed this with Warner Bros., but their schedule is too tight. They require the film to be finished before May next year, and I don't have that time, nor can I continue to direct. If they invite you to continue to play Batman, you can consider it, don't have to worry about it."
"Okay, I understand. I'll think about it seriously."
Ben Affleck leaves after speaking.
Link continued writing and drawing with the director's notebook.
The crew continued filming in the studio in the afternoon. When the drilling team led by Harry was working on the meteorite, team member Ricky suddenly went crazy. He took the machine gun on the drill vehicle and fired indiscriminately at the meteorite, causing the drilling project to have to be stopped.
Later, due to the workers' mistake, the drilling vehicle broke away from the meteorite and flew into space, making it impossible to continue drilling.
The drilling mission was a failure.
When everyone on Earth was ready to die, AJ, who was lost on the way, arrived at the scene in another construction vehicle.
Harry led his team to continue drilling. After overcoming many difficulties, they finally dug an 800-foot-deep pit in the meteorite and successfully placed the nuclear bomb into the pit.
But when they were about to leave, they discovered that the automatic detonation device of the nuclear bomb had failed, and someone needed to stay behind to manually detonate the nuclear bomb.
Those who stayed behind meant sacrifice.
The drilling team decided to draw lots to decide who would stay.
Unfortunately, AJ was chosen. When he was holding the remote control and preparing to stay, Harry snatched it away and pushed him into the space shuttle.
Finally, when everyone safely left the meteorite, just before the meteorite was about to hit the earth, Harry pressed the remote control on the meteorite, the nuclear bomb exploded, and the meteorite shattered from the inside. At the same time, affected by the shock wave of the explosion, the meteorite fragments deviated from their orbit, brushing against the earth's atmosphere and flying into farther space.
The earth and mankind survived, and Harry, who died in the explosion, became a hero admired by everyone.
AJ and Grace got married and lived happily together, and the other members of the team also lived the life they had always dreamed of.
“Cut!”
"This one is good, passed!"
After nearly three months of filming, all shots of "The Untamed" were completed.
After finishing filming "The Last Airbender", Link returned to the company with the film tape to complete the subsequent production and editing. The subsequent special effects part is expected to be completed within three months.
···
After returning to Los Angeles, Link had no time to rest. His girlfriends took turns inviting him to watch "Titanic" in the cinema to experience the touching love story of Jack and Rose in person.
As a responsible man, Link did not refuse. He watched "Titanic" more than 20 times in the cinema and contributed a lot of box office revenue to Fox Film.
"The love story between Jack and Rose is so touching, dear, are they real people?"
After leaving the theater, Winona Ryder walked forward holding his arm, her eyes red and her brown eyes sparkling because she had just watched a movie.
"It's probably true. Director Cameron is a fact-checker. He would investigate the identities of all the passengers before filming. Rose and Jack should really exist, but the love between them may not be real. Maybe they don't know each other."
Link held the girl's hand and said that in fact Rose and Jack were both fictional, but he didn't have the heart to destroy the girl's fantasy, so he gave an uncertain answer.
"It's such a shame, their love story was really beautiful."
Winona Ryder sighed.
"I don't think so. Their love story is beautiful, but it's also unreal."
Sophia walked beside them with her hands in her trouser pockets, "If nothing disaster happens, they will become a couple after getting off the ship, and then they will worry about real life. Jack doesn't look like a man who can work hard, and Rose is a lady, so she won't work in a factory.
After living together for a while, they will gradually get tired of everything, and will have conflicts over trivial matters in life. In the end, they will just break up and become ordinary couples. Therefore, Jack died in the Atlantic Ocean and lived forever in Rose's heart. This is the best ending for their love. "
"I support Sophia's point of view."
Angelina Jolie laughed and said, "Love without material foundation is a castle in the air. Jack couldn't even afford a ticket for the ship. Where would he live and what would he eat after he got off the ship? Rose is a noble lady. Even if she is down and out, her living standard is higher than that of ordinary people. If they insist on being together, the final outcome will definitely be terrible."
Winona Ryder curled her lips. Although she didn't like their idea, she didn't refute it.
Link smiled. Sophia and Julie were right. Later, Rose and Jack made another movie called "Revolutionary Road", and the story was similar to what they said.
"Link, if you were Jack and we were Rose, after a disaster, would you give us the door panel?"
Sophia smiled mischievously.
"Won't!"
Without waiting for the three to curl their lips, Link said with a smile, "It's so cold to soak in the sea water. With my ability, it won't be too difficult to grab a lifeboat for you."
The three girls immediately laughed, thinking that he was so rich and strong that he could easily help them escape even on a sinking ship.
"What if there is no lifeboat? What if we all fall into the sea?"
Julie laughed.
"That's easy. I'm a good swimmer and I'm very strong. I can carry you three across the Atlantic Ocean to the United States."
"Haha, that's what you said. Forget about carrying us to America. How about you carry me home first?"
Angelina Jolie jumped on his back and kissed him, hooking her arms around his neck and wrapping her long legs around him from behind.
Link patted the girl's butt and carried her into the car.
After watching the movie with Winona Ryder and the other two, Link continued watching the movie with his other girlfriends.
After watching it, they had to answer various questions. Fortunately, he was quite patient and was able to give his girlfriends satisfactory answers after hearing their questions.
After dealing with his girlfriends' dates, Link returned to the editing studio to finish editing the remaining parts of "The Ultimate Tribulation".
While "Armageddon" was being edited, "Tomorrow Never Dies" was completed in post-production and a preview was held at MGM Studios.
The system also gave a good evaluation to this movie, with an engagement rate of 65.3%, a film completion rate of 99.1%, and a film-market compliance rate of 88%.
The rewards include 2.4 times the box office subsidy, director experience +15%; director physical fitness +15%; and film quality increase +16%.
While attending the preview, MGM Pictures boss Kirk Kerkorian approached him for a private chat, wanting to discuss with him in person the acquisition of MGM by Guess What?
But Link's offer remained unchanged: to acquire MGM in full for $4.2 billion, including $3.8 billion in bad debts, or to acquire 49% of MGM's shares for $100 million, and promised to turn MGM Pictures from loss-making to profitable within 10 years.
In fact, both of these conditions are very good for MGM Pictures.
MGM Studios is in a state of dire straits. Even if "Tomorrow Never Dies" is a big hit, it will not be able to solve its long-standing problems. It is only a matter of time before MGM Studios goes bankrupt.
Kirk Kerkorian could earn back several hundred million by selling the company to Guess What Pictures before bankruptcy, or he could sell 49% of the shares to Link for $100 million. After Link joins the company, he would not have to worry about the company's loans, but his shares would be more valuable in a few years.
The most important thing is that facing the competition from Guess What Pictures, the seven major studios all have the possibility of bankruptcy, but MGM can continue to survive after introducing Guess What Pictures, which is very important.
But Kirk Kerkorian still didn't give up and hoped that Link could pay more money. If Guess Pictures was willing to offer $4.5 billion, he would sign the contract immediately.
Link didn't agree.
After finishing his work, Link had some free time and took his girlfriend and children to a Hawaiian estate for vacation.
