Chapter 468: Find Link to Act
"Boss, the security team has recently observed that every time our convoy goes out, there are often unfamiliar vehicles following us. For safety reasons, we suggest that you increase the number of bodyguards to avoid unexpected situations."
When he went to work the next day, Wallace, the head of the security team, gave him safety tips and took out his laptop to pull up dozens of photos, which showed that a strange vehicle was following him, watching him more closely than the paparazzi.
Every time Link went out, he was only accompanied by a driver and two armed bodyguards. Wallace thought this was not very safe and suggested arranging more bodyguards to ensure his safety.
“Are these people paparazzi?”
"It's not certain yet. But the security team has analyzed the motives of their actions, and they are clearly different from the paparazzi."
"Go check it out. If you've found someone following you, find someone to come forward and investigate their identity and which media they work for. If they are, warn the media. If not, hand it over to the police."
He is not only a public figure, but also a billionaire with a large number of elite lawyers under him. The media will not easily offend him for the sake of news.
This can also be considered a kind of preferential treatment based on status.
In addition, he is now the chairman of MGM-Guess What Pictures and has business dealings with many media outlets, so the media will be more cautious when interviewing him.
"Boss, those people are quite cunning. It will take several days to investigate. During this period, your safety cannot be ignored."
Wallace was still worried.
"Don't worry. With Bob and Hong here, it won't be a big problem. All you have to do is contact the security company and find out the identity and purpose of that group of people as soon as possible."
Bob is an old bodyguard who has followed him for more than four years. He has served in the Delta Force for more than six years and is good at using both long and short guns.
Hong's full name is Hong Youfu. He is a retired special forces soldier from China and used to be a bodyguard for the leader. He has good marksmanship and skills, is highly vigilant, is down-to-earth and trustworthy.
With these two 'sword-bearing guards' around, Link wasn't too worried about any unexpected incidents.
Even if he appears, it doesn’t matter. After three upgrades, his physical strength has undergone a qualitative change. He is much stronger than Batman and not much worse than Spider-Man.
He also conducted experiments and found that no matter whether it was long or short guns, explosives, mines, fire or flooding, chemical and biological poisons, or various infectious viruses, nothing could harm his body.
Unless the opponent uses weapons of mass destruction and instantly makes him lose his resistance, other moves will not pose much threat to him.
In addition, the reason why he did not arrange more bodyguards around him was also for the safety of his family.
If an enemy wanted to target him, such as kidnapping for extortion, after investigation, the kidnappers would definitely make him their first target as he has few bodyguards around him, rather than sending people to kidnap a few children from a heavily guarded villa.
This will also keep your family safer.
"Okay boss, I'll take care of this as soon as possible."
Wallace got off the car after reporting his work.
Link drove to the Guess What Pictures headquarters on Hollywood Boulevard to continue his busy work for the company and complete the storyboard and director's script for "Pirates of the Caribbean".
At noon, Jodie Foster came over with a script and said she wanted to take a look at it with him.
"You're still pregnant, don't run around for no reason. I'll read the script when I get home tonight."
Link helped her sit down on the sofa.
Jodie Foster rolled her eyes at him, touched her still-not-so-noticeable belly and said, "It's only been three months, what's the big deal? Do you want me to stay at home and take care of the baby now? I'd be bored to death. And reading the script is work, it's more appropriate to talk about it in the company."
"All right!"
Link hugged the woman and kissed her, and didn't argue with her anymore. He took the script she brought and flipped through it. It was also a familiar movie.
Anna and the King
Originally starring Judy and Chow Yun-fat, it tells the love story between widowed British teacher Annalee and the King of Thailand. The story is adapted from real events and is set in the mid-nineteenth century.
The movie is well-made, with exquisite and beautiful pictures, gorgeous costumes, grand and magnificent scenes, and a relatively high artistic level, but it also has some shortcomings.
For example, the CP feeling between Chow Yun-fat and Judy is relatively poor, and the emotional scenes are stiff, which is worse than that of Tony Leung and Jane March in "The Lover".
Also, the director has limited knowledge of Eastern and Western cultures, leaving many obvious loopholes in the film, making many interesting plots dull, and paying too much attention to details and ignoring the main theme of the film.
The most direct impact of these shortcomings is that the film’s viewing appeal is reduced, it fails to attract audiences, and ultimately the box office results are mediocre.
"Have you finished reading it? What do you think of the script? You know more about Eastern culture than I do. I'd like to hear your opinion."
Jodie Foster crossed her legs and put a hand on his shoulder, just like when they were reading the script in the Golden Oaks apartment.
"Not bad. There is a clash between Western modern civilization and feudal dynasties, a collision between European and American culture and Eastern culture, and a love story between different races. This theme is relatively novel and has certain market potential."
“You mean we can film it?”
Jodie Foster laughed.
"Don't tell me you're going to film with your belly sticking out."
"I can't be an actor but I can be a director. If I start preparing now, it is expected to be ready by August. By then I will be six months pregnant and can do some work. If everything goes well, I can finish filming before November, come back and rest for two or three months, and give birth to the baby early next year. This arrangement is perfect, isn't it?"
Jodie Foster said enthusiastically.
"Don't even think about it! The film is set in Thailand, and the crew will probably have to go to Southeast Asia to film. The weather there is hot, the medical conditions are backward, and there are many infectious germs. Filming is also very strenuous. Even if you can stick with it, the baby won't be able to stick with it. It's better not to take risks. Wait until next year after you give birth to the baby, and you will be able to perform better by then."
Link held the petite woman in his arms and patiently guided her.
Jodie Foster kicked her calf in dissatisfaction. "Does that mean I can't do anything this year?"
"You can continue to improve the script, select roles for the movie, and arrange people to form a crew, or you can also work in the company and serve as a producer of other films. I support you in doing other easier jobs." Link persuaded her while stroking her belly.
Jodie Foster was still a little unhappy, "We women have suffered a lot for the sake of our babies, but you men have nothing to worry about. It's so easy."
Link smiled softly, "This is also the reason why everyone praises women and mothers. Relatively speaking, women are greater than men in giving birth to children. You are also a great woman."
"Hmph! Stop saying nice things. I'm not one of those silly girls like Jennifer and Liv Tyler who get dizzy just by listening to your nice words. I'm a mature woman who values your actions more. Stop it!"
Jodie Foster rolled her eyes at him, slapped his hands that were messing with his clothes away, hooked her hands around his neck, and said affectionately, "The King of Thailand is Asian, and you are also Asian, dear. Your acting is also great, dear, do you want to take some time to act?"
Link was stunned for a moment, looking at her in disbelief, "So after all this detour, your purpose of coming here is to ask me to play the king?"
"No, it's mainly because I missed you. The baby missed you too, and I couldn't help but want to come and see you."
Jodie Foster acted coquettishly and gently in his arms. This woman was in her thirties and still a strong woman, but when it came to acting coquettishly, she was just as good as Monica and the others.
Link thought about it and said, "It's not suitable. First, I'm too busy with work. I make three movies every year. I don't have time to be an actor. Second, King Mengkong is in his forties and has 68 children. My age is not suitable."
"There's nothing inappropriate about it. You can make a slight adjustment in age to someone in his thirties. Your temperament is more mature and steady than a man in his thirties or forties. Also, you are strong, overbearing, and stubborn, which is very similar to the character of the king. You don't need any acting skills to play the king. You only need to act yourself to meet the requirements.
And the king has 68 children, and when the film starts next year, you will have almost 30, and there is no one in the world more suitable than you. Honey, okay?"
Jodie Foster continued to act coquettishly beside him.
Link was helpless, as most directors who had been in the job for a long time would have good acting skills, and his acting skills were even better, but he had no plans to become an actor, nor did he have the need to be an actor.
"Why don't you find someone else first? If there's no suitable candidate, and I happen to have time, I can act in it."
"Okay! It's settled."
Jodie Foster kissed him hard, as if stamping him and signing a cooperation agreement.
In order to avoid trouble, Link planned to recommend a few more Asian actors to her, such as Tony Leung, Jiang Wen, and John Lone, who would be suitable to play the king.
After discussing the script, Jodie Foster patted her butt and was about to leave, but Link did not let her go. He asked her to stay in the office to help with documents, so that she knew how busy her man was every day, otherwise this girl would find more things for him to do in the future.
However, not only did Jodie Foster fail to understand his good intentions, she also told Michelle and others on the phone and reported that Link had abused her and the children.
This woman is so ungrateful. If she wasn't pregnant, Link would never let her get away with it so easily.
