Chapter 55 Movie Preview
To thank him, Jerome Preston offered to give him a sports car as a gift and told him to choose any one he wanted.
Link declined his gift.
In addition to the newly purchased Cadillac, there are two cars for commuting in the apartment garage. There is no point in having so many cars.
Jerome also invited him to join an amateur golf club.
The people who join this club are all from the entertainment industry.
There are middle and senior managers, actors, directors from film companies, as well as white-collar workers from cinemas, advertising companies, banks and other institutions.
Joining this kind of club can expand your social circle.
Link readily agreed.
When I got home from get off work in the afternoon, Monica was also back.
She bought him some cosmetics and fashion clothes, and also bought him five sets of casual clothes, shoes, and watches. She also took him to the dressing room to try on clothes, and if they didn't fit, she would change them the next day.
Link tried two sets and didn't want to try anymore. He was a director, not a star, so it didn't matter if the clothes were a little loose or a little tight.
He preferred to watch Monica change her clothes.
With his encouragement, Monica changed into several outfits in the dressing room.
Dresses, patchwork skirts, pink nightgowns, women's business suits with tube skirts, sexy suspender skirts with black stockings, etc.
Monica has been a model in Paris for more than two years. She has practiced catwalk and has a beautiful walking posture.
She has a plump and sexy figure, big breasts, big buttocks, a thin waist, long legs, beautiful looks, three-dimensional facial features, and the unique charm of an Italian beauty.
After changing into sexy clothes, the temptation is doubled.
Originally Link was leaning on the sofa watching Monica change her clothes, but after watching the set, he had to sit up straight, cross his legs, and strategically suppress her.
"So, which one looks better?"
Monica walked from the hallway to the living room in her high heels with sexy steps.
She supported her waist and turned around in front of him, her long black curly hair draped over her shoulders, her thin waist, long legs, the curve of her plump hips, and the constantly dancing curve of her breasts constantly stimulated his vision.
"They are all great. Even the goddess of beauty Venus would be jealous of your beauty when she saw you."
Monica has a plump figure and a curvy upper body. The straps of her halter dress are very thin and the neckline is deep. She trembles when she walks, and the shoulder straps are under great pressure.
The skirt matches her fair skin, long black hair, plump figure, and cool and classical temperament.
She looks sexy and seductive, yet also has the demeanor of an ascetic goddess.
It makes people involuntarily develop a strong desire to conquer.

After several days of preparation, an internal preview of "Paranormal Activity" was held in a small screening room of Guess Pictures on the weekend, with a total of 72 people participating.
The seven major film studios and several major independent film companies arranged for people to come and watch the film, and Robert Shea of New Line Cinema and Harvey Weinstein of Miramax Films attended in person.
Special guests include Quentin Tarantino, Steven Soderbergh, Jerome Preston, William Mason, Sam Haskell, Will Roger and many other old acquaintances and friends.
"Link, your internal screening is quite big. Almost all the film companies have arranged people to come. Even top producers like Scott Rudin and Brian Grazer are here. Are you nervous when being stared at by all these people?"
Quentin Tarantino asked, looking around the audience.
"Why are you nervous?"
"Haha, if I were you I wouldn't be able to laugh.
Don’t you see who these guys are? They are Hollywood’s gold medal producers who have watched countless films and have extremely high standards.
And what kind of movie are you making, a low-budget home video, two or three actors, a house, and you think they’re going to like it?”
"Why not? My last movie only had one actor and one coffin, and it grossed over 60 million U.S. dollars worldwide. Now it has two people and one villa. As the number of actors increases and the scale of the studio expands, the box office of my movie will surely grow in tandem."
"What? Is this how the box office of a movie is calculated? If you add one more actor or more sets, the box office will double?!"
“I don’t know about others, but I definitely will.”
"You! You're crazy."
Quentin Tarantino pointed at him, walked into the audience and sat down with a speechless look on his face.
Link walked to the platform in front of the screen with a microphone and gave a speech, welcoming all colleagues to attend the preview of "Paranormal Activity".
He briefly introduced the original intention and inspiration for creating this film.
He and his adoptive mother moved from Appleton, Wisconsin to El Monte, Los Angeles. Due to financial constraints, he and his adoptive mother could only rent a cheap old house in the South District.
There are woods around the old house, and many strange noises can often be heard at night, like the cries of wild beasts or ghosts floating into the room through the window.
He is also a very timid person and needs to cover his head when sleeping every night. Sometimes when the weather is hot, he will sweat profusely.
After living in the old house for several years, I was terrified every day, especially at night.
This feeling of fear remained fresh in his memory even when he grew up.
After becoming a director, he decided to make a movie based on this story to express his inner fear.
"Ladies and gentlemen, there is one thing I need to remind you of, a 'matter' written on the invitation letter that may not have been noticed by many people.
This movie is a thriller with a scary plot.
If you feel unwell during the screening, you can leave early or tell the staff. We have prepared an ambulance in advance for this preview to prevent any unexpected situations."
Wow wow wow~
Hearing him say this, the audience below the stage whispered and talked a lot.
“I’ve said before that Link is a guy who is very good at speaking. Before the movie even starts, he uses this method to arouse people’s curiosity. This method is too cunning.
But whether a movie is good or not, the focus is on the movie itself, not this kind of inductive speech. If the movie is not as thrilling as he said later, his words now will have the opposite effect. Let's see how he ends up."
Quentin Tarantino shook his head and smacked his lips.
"Whether it's good or not, at least I'm very much looking forward to this movie now, and I'm curious about how he will capture the fear I had as a child."
Steven Soderbergh said.
"It sounds very interesting. I had the same experience when I was a kid. I hope this will be a great movie."
Lawrence Bender said.
After hearing what the two said, Quentin stroked his chin and thought, why not do the same thing for future internal screenings? Prepare an ambulance as well? Regardless of whether it will be needed or not, at least it will whet everyone's appetite.
"Link is a stubborn and confident person. Seeing him say this, he seems to be very confident in this movie."
Jerome Preston said to William Mason beside him.
"I hope he's right, and that Buried Alive was the beginning of his career, not the zenith."
William Mason stroked his beard.
"Richard, I heard that you have a heart condition. Do you want to sit in the lounge? I'll tell you the plot after the preview is over."
Paramount Pictures' executive producer Scott Rudin said to the white-haired old man next to him.
"No, I have a good heart. I've participated in the production of horror movies like Jaws, Cocoon, and The Thing. I've seen all the classic horror movies. Would I be scared by a movie shot by a young man? Absolutely not."
Richard Zanuck, the famous producer, said with a wave of his hand.
"Well, let's see what this movie is about Link."
After Link stepped down, the movie began.
