Chapter 413: The True English Rose, the Unexpected Scandal
Over the weekend, Ms. Spencer visited the crew as promised.
She is 35 years old and divorced more than two months ago. She wore a light blue bow mesh hat, a white lace long skirt, and champagne high heels. She has a tall figure and an elegant temperament.
Link chatted with her between takes.
Ms. Spencer claimed to be his fan and asked him for an autograph and a photo. Link had a good impression of her and naturally would not refuse.
It's just that Ms. Spencer seemed very curious about him. She kept staring at him during the conversation and asked about his gossip with a smile. She asked him whether the news that he had dozens of girlfriends, all of whom were big stars, was true or false.
Link said frankly that it was true.
Ms. Spencer asked him how he managed the relationship between them since he was so busy, and wasn't he worried about them fighting?
Link said not to worry, they were all smart and considerate girls who knew how to manage themselves and would not easily get into conflicts.
Ms. Spencer rolled her eyes and quipped that it was bad luck for nice girls to fall in love with playboys.
After saying this, Ms. Spencer covered her mouth and laughed.
In person, she is more lively and cheerful than she appears in the news, and is very approachable. No matter what she says, it will not be annoying.
It's a pity that the things she is involved in are too complicated.
But Link was too busy and didn't want to meddle in other people's business.
Ms. Spencer left after visiting the crew for more than forty minutes.
Link continued to make movies.
But what he worried about still happened.
That evening, BBC TV reported a news story that Ms. Spencer visited Link's crew and left after more than 40 minutes. According to insiders, the two had a great conversation after meeting, as if they were old friends who had known each other for a long time.
Later, the British Sky Television (BskyB) entertainment news channel owned by News Corporation also reported the news, saying that Link and Ms. Spencer had a good personal relationship.
At the same time, new material was added to the news, saying that while Link was filming in France and the UK, his girlfriends including Jennifer Connelly, Sandra Bullock, Brooke Shields, Jennifer Aniston, and Liv Tyler visited the crew one after another.
This is a way to imply that Link and Ms. Spencer have an affair.
The next day, dozens of British media reported on their front pages the news of Ms. Spencer's visit to Link.
Almost all media suspected that the two had an ambiguous relationship.
The reason is that Link is a world-class playboy who likes older and charming women, and Ms. Spencer has often been exposed in media scandals after her separation from the prince.
When two people suddenly meet like this, it's hard not to doubt their relationship.
The Daily Telegraph reported the news on its front page, saying that according to insiders, it was not the first time that Link and Ms. Spencer met, but they were old friends who had known each other for a long time.
The first time they met may be when Link came to London to promote "Se7en" during its release in the UK in 1993. Later, Link frequently came to the UK to promote movies or attend the British Academy Film Awards, which may be related to Ms. Spencer.
The newspaper also detailed the timeline of Link's visits to the UK, and every time he came, Ms. Spencer happened to be in London.
This fully demonstrates that the two are old acquaintances.
They had not made their relationship public before because Ms. Spencer was still divorced, but now that she is divorced she has no scruples about dating.
The British Sun revealed in the article that Ms. Spencer and the prince separated in 1992 and divorced in August this year. This may be related to Link. It is very likely that Link, the playboy, interfered in their marriage.
At the same time, it also cited revelations from the American media, claiming that Link was involved in the divorce cases of Richard Gere and his wife, and Tom Cruise and his wife, which shows that this is not the first time he has done this.
Link felt helpless when he saw these reports while having breakfast. He and Daina were innocent, but they were falsely accused of having an improper relationship. It was so unfair. Moreover, the two of them only met for more than 40 minutes. What could they do with such a short time?
"Boss, many media have contacted us now, hoping to have a chance to interview you. Would you like to take this opportunity to come forward and clarify?"
Lewinsky asked.
Link shook his head. The media knew very well whether he and Daina had an ulterior motive, but they insisted on making up stories to attract people's attention and sell more news products.
Judging from the current situation, the media has determined that they have a relationship. Even if he comes out to explain, these media are unwilling to give up this big news easily. Instead, they will add more materials and hype the matter up even more.
“I have too much work to do and have no time to deal with the media. Please discuss with the public relations department and make a clarification on my behalf first. At the same time, contact Ms. Spencer and ask her to explain. Ms. Spencer has a high reputation among the people, so it will be more effective if she explains.
In addition, I will contact the legal department to sue those unscrupulous media and ask them to compensate Ms. Spencer and me for our reputation and mental damages.”
"Okay! I'll arrange it right away."
Lewinsky smiled and left the restaurant.
"Link, you and Dainna really don't have that kind of relationship?"
Kate Beckinsale pursed her lips to smile, and her beautiful cheeks were full of gossip.
"Of course not, why do you think we have such a relationship?"
Link was helpless, and even the women in his family began to doubt him.
"Because you have this ability, and you are so charming, any woman who has seen you will definitely fall in love with you, and Dana is no exception."
Julie Delpy pointed at him and laughed.
“We think so, too.”
Kate Beckinsale laughed with Renée Zellweger and Jennifer Lopez.
Link shook his head. "Really? I've never met Dana before. This is our first time meeting. I don't know why she would want to visit the crew. If I had known that her visit would cause so many scandals, I shouldn't have agreed to meet her."
"Link, since the media has falsely accused you of having an improper relationship with Daena, then you should go on a date with Daena and try to seduce her, that way you won't suffer any loss."
Renée Zellweger joked.
"I agree!"
Julie Delpy quickly raised her hand and shouted, "If I could sleep with Daina, hehe, that would be so exciting."
"Stop it! I have a lot of troubles, and Daina has even more. We are all troubled people, so we should not get too involved."
Link stopped the excited Julie Delpy. This woman had a carefree personality, liked to play around, and made trouble. She was afraid that the world would not be in chaos. Her pretty face and tall figure were wasted.
Kate Beckinsale smiled and said, "Link, I actually support Renee's proposal. Dainna was betrayed by her husband before the divorce, and she lived a very bad life. She even suffered from depression because of this. After the divorce, she was still harassed by the media, and her activities outside were also monitored. She was like a bird in a cage, and she had no freedom. You are a big shot. If you date her, maybe you can help her."
"Honey, Kate is right. Dianna is so pitiful. Please help her!"
Julie Delpy held his arm and acted coquettishly.
"I think you want to pick her up."
Link held the naughty woman in his arms and gave her a slight punishment, then asked everyone to continue eating breakfast.
After dinner, Link went to the crew to film. Outside the crew, he met hundreds of reporters and Daena fans. The reporters wanted to interview him, and Daena fans held up signs and shouted at Playboy Link, asking him to stay away from Daena.
There are also police officers maintaining law and order on the roadside.
Link ignored him and went straight to the crew in the nanny car.
Although he did not respond, the media still did not let him go and fabricated many scandals about him and Dana on TV and in newspapers.
Not only that, starting from the next day, the American media also began to report the scandal extensively, saying that Link was picking up girls while filming a movie in the UK, and that his succubus physique was once again confirmed, and even Ms. Spencer was attracted to him.
The entertainment media once again counted the number of Link's girlfriends in their reports, this time adding Daena's information and photos.
According to statistics, Link likes blonde white-skinned beauties, Asian beauties, and Hispanic beauties. He has no interest in African beauties for the time being. Also, his girlfriends are generally older than him, ranging from 18 to 40 years old.
His relationships with his girlfriends are relatively stable. Monica Bellucci lasted the longest, for more than five years, and the others lasted for more than three or four years. So far, one woman left him because of his philandering.
No girlfriend has ever said anything bad about him.
Judging from these points, Link is a fickle-minded person but is good at maintaining relationships.
If Daina was also Link's girlfriend, she might have a different experience here.
Link's phone kept ringing while he was filming. Acquaintances in the United States also called one after another to ask whether the scandal was true or not. Some people, such as Nicolas Cage, Ben Affleck, and Quentin Tarantino, expressed envy, while others called him a scumbag out of jealousy and advised him to stop or be killed by James Bond.
His girlfriends also called to ask whether it was true or not and asked him when he would hook up with Daina.
Because of Daina's different identity, everyone welcomed her joining.
Link was too busy to explain, and just told Lewinsky to reply that everything was fake.
On the afternoon of the second day after the news broke, Lewinsky and the public relations department of Guess What Pictures held press conferences in London and Los Angeles respectively, and responded in unison that the news was false.
The two are not in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, and nothing has ever happened. I hope everyone will not believe or spread rumors. The company’s legal department will file a lawsuit against the media that fabricates stories and damages Link’s reputation.
Despite Link's clarification, the media and the public did not believe the two were innocent.
The American media boasted about Link's ability to pick up girls and hyped him up as the world's number one playboy.
The British media criticized Link for being sentimental and suggested that the government expel the crew and not allow them to shoot the film in the UK.
When the media was making a fuss about the incident, one strange thing happened: no matter how the media reported it, Ms. Spencer, the person involved, remained silent. She neither accepted public interviews nor arranged for anyone to explain on her behalf.
Lewinsky contacted her assistant and asked her to explain, but Ms. Spencer refused and only said it was inconvenient and apologized to Link.
Because of her non-cooperation, many people were misled by public opinion. When she acquiesced and Link was eager to make an explanation, it was an unwillingness to take responsibility for the relationship and a betrayal to Ms. Spencer.
Many of Daina's fans ran to the set to protest, some demanded that he be held responsible, and some asked the government to expel the crew, which seriously affected the crew's filming work.
Link continued filming in the crew despite the pressure of public opinion. It was not until the end of November that the crew left London and moved to a studio in Ireland for filming, and the public opinion storm gradually subsided.
