Chapter 465 Summer Vacation Arrives
In May, the North American summer season arrives.
This summer, MGM-Currently Pictures has six films released, including "Damn It," "There's Something About Mary," "Rush Hour 2," and MGM's "Tomorrow Never Dies," "Dirty Dozen," and "Operation Raid."
As well as "Armageddon" and "Mulan" co-produced with Disney Pictures, and "Godzilla", "As Good as It Gets" and "The Wedding Singer" co-produced with Columbia Pictures and New Line Cinema.
The first movie released in the summer is "Tomorrow Never Dies".
Link is the director of the film, and when the film was released, he also returned from the island to attend the film premiere.
At the premiere, he unexpectedly met Harvey and Epstein. Harvey was invited to attend, while Epstein came uninvited.
"Haha, Link, I heard your new movie is released today, congratulations!"
Epstein greeted him eagerly.
"Welcome to come and support us. I hope you will like this movie after watching it."
Link laughed.
"Haha, of course. I'm a fan of yours. I've been following your movies since Paranormal Activity. My favorite is Seven Deadly Sins. The connotation of that movie is very profound and shocking."
"I got the inspiration for Seven after reading many crime novels and hearing about many real cases that happened in the real world. It is shocking because of its high degree of authenticity. If you like this kind of movie, I recommend you to read Mr. John Grisham's novels. Some of his crime novels are more shocking than movies."
"Thank you! I will, Link. I wonder when you have time to talk about what I talked about last time. How about we sit down and talk about it again? I'll introduce you to some friends."
Epstein became eager when he saw that Link was talking a lot, and he again brought up the idea of chatting privately with Link.
"I'm sorry, there are too many things going on at the company, and I'm also preparing for a new movie. I rarely have time to attend parties. We'll talk again when we have the chance."
Link smiled and continued to greet other guests with Diane Lane.
"Huh! Is this bastard Link difficult to deal with?"
Harvey looked at Link's back and asked Epstein beside him.
Epstein also looked unhappy. Last time, in order to get close to Link, he took the initiative to visit Link's crew. After being rejected by Link, he came to attend the premiere of "007" again with sincerity.
But this time, Link still didn't give him face and was still very indifferent to him, the rumored billionaire and socialite. He was even inferior to Robert Shea, Jay Maloney, Graydon Carter and others.
This made him very unhappy.
"I don't know why, but when Link saw me, he was obviously repulsed and didn't seem to want to have much contact with me. Could it be that he had heard some rumors about me?"
Epstein shook his head. "It shouldn't be like this. He likes beautiful women, and I like beautiful women too. We have the same hobbies and common topics. Logically, he would be very enthusiastic after seeing me. Why would he reject me?"
"Maybe he's worried that you'll take his girl away?" Harvey asked.
Epstein looked at the beauties around Link in the crowd, including Italian beauty Monica Bellucci, British beauties Catherine Zeta-Jones and Kate Beckinsale, and two "007" actresses Diane Lane and Michelle Yeoh.
They are all tall and charming, and each has her own style and charm. They are all very attractive beauties.
If he could snatch them away from Link, he would be happy to do it, but considering that Link has money, skills, and film and television resources, it would be very difficult to snatch them away from him.
"No, I know Link. He is very lustful and has found so many beautiful women. This shows that he doesn't care much about relationships between men and women. At least, he doesn't regard women as more important than US dollars. He is unwilling to interact with me more and is unwilling to listen to my views on investment. This shows that he has some kind of prejudice against me. Is he a racist?"
Epstein shook his head again and denied the idea. As far as he knew, Link's girlfriends included several Jewish female stars, which meant that Link would not discriminate against him because he was Jewish.
"Since you can't find the reason, don't think too much about it. You said there is a way to deal with Link. What is it?" Harvey asked impatiently.
Epstein frowned. "Ovitz said that the honey trap doesn't work on Link. Is that true? Link is lustful, how could he not be fooled? Could it be that Ovitz's skills are too poor?"
"It shouldn't be Ovitz's fault. He first used the married woman Nicole Kidman to seduce Link, hoping to create dirt on Link. But Link is a principled man and doesn't touch married women. Ovitz's plan failed, and he sent the beautiful Nicole Kidman to Link.
It is said that Ovitz also used other female stars to deal with Link, but all of them failed without exception. If you want to use this trick to deal with Link, you must find a beauty who is sexier and more obedient than Nicole Kidman. Do you have such resources? "
Harvey asked.
Epstein thought of Nicole Kidman's beautiful face and tall, voluptuous figure and shook his head.
Nicole Kidman has been named the 'sexiest actress in the world' twice. It is difficult to find a woman more attractive than her.
"Link is indeed not easy to deal with, but there are solutions. We just need to arrange people to keep an eye on Link and deepen our understanding of him, and we will definitely find a breakthrough."
"I don't think this is possible." Harvey shook his head. "Link is a billionaire. He has no shortage of money, women, fame, or status. He can do what you can do, without relying on your channels."
Epstein smiled confidently, "Although he is rich, he does not necessarily have all the resources. Do you know what a person's greatest desire is when he has everything he needs?"
"What?"
"Live longer! Have a healthy body and a youthful appearance. Although Link is very young and doesn't need to consider these things for now, he will definitely be able to use them in the future. In this regard, I have many resources and connections that the rich don't have."
Epstein smiled confidently.
Harvey's eyes lit up when he heard this. He had heard that many wealthy people would invest a lot of money to study this topic after they became rich in order to maintain health and longevity and to enjoy more. Epstein was one of the top brokers in the world and he must have resources in this area.
If he uses this kind of 'bait' to lure Link, there's a good chance that Link will fall for it.
"You can try, but how effective is your research? Can it really make people healthy and live longer? I don't want that bastard Link to live to be 70 or 80 years old and still be alive and kicking."
"Of course it's true. If there were no research results, why would so many people be willing to believe me?"
Epstein said, just seeing Harvey's bad face, he laughed and told Harvey not to worry, only friends can share the most advanced research results, and Link is not a friend.
Hearing him say this, Harvey felt relieved and his expression turned grim.
Bang bang bang!
After the screening of "Tomorrow Never Dies" ended, there was warm applause and cheers from the audience.
Harvey's face darkened. He had been busy chatting and had not had time to watch the movie. He didn't know whether "007" was of good quality. However, almost everyone at the scene cheered and applauded, which showed that the film was of good quality. Link would probably make a lot of money from this movie.
"Link, congratulations on making another great movie."
"Link, I admire you very much. Every movie you make can bring surprises to people."
After the movie was over, Robert Shea, Jerome Preston, Tom Hanks and others came forward to congratulate him.
"Thank you! I'm glad I didn't take up your time."
Link chatted with a few people, then took the crew to the stage to thank the audience and promote the movie to boost box office.
After the premiere, he held a cocktail party at the hotel as usual to entertain all the guests. At the party, everyone talked about movies and new projects, exchanged resources, and shared what they had.
Harvey and Epstein were also invited to attend.
At the party, Epstein approached him again for a private chat, but it was like a dog-skin plaster.
Out of politeness, Link did not refuse.
During the chat, Epstein talked about the issue of physical health and said that there is an investment in the world that is guaranteed to make money, and that is investing in yourself and your health. They have developed a new type of genetic medicine that can enhance people's resistance and maintain physical health and vitality. Many wealthy people and international politicians are using it with very good results.
Epstein cited several examples, including the 86-year-old financial investment guru and billionaire John Templeton, the 81-year-old real estate tycoon and former owner of MGM Studios Kirk Kerkorian, and the 90-year-old famous diplomat and billionaire Walter Annenberg.
In addition, they have developed a new physical examination machine that can detect all diseases and future diseases with just a drop of blood from the subject.
Epstein invited him to a party at the institute.
Link said that he had too much work to do and had no time to participate. He was also young and healthy and would not consider health issues now. In addition, he believed more in the benefits of physical exercise than taking medication to stay healthy.
After saying goodbye, he left and continued to greet other people.
Epstein was rejected again and his face turned extremely ugly.
"Now do you know how difficult this bastard Link is to deal with?"
Harvey looked at Link, who was being treated like a star in the crowd, and said coldly, "I have always believed that to deal with such people, we must use the simplest and most direct method. This method is the most effective."
Epstein's face was gloomy. "I thought Link was a smart man who could achieve his goals through negotiation, but now it seems that he is very arrogant, stubborn, and inflexible. He should be taught a lesson."
