Chapter 443 India's Most Beautiful Woman
“Hello, Boss!”
After leaving the cocktail party, Link got into a business car. The new female assistant, Aishwarya Rai, opened a folder and reported to him in English with a hint of curry.
Aishwarya Rai told him that Richard Fox called him twenty minutes ago and wanted to talk to him about the sequel to Batman.
Quentin Tarantino, Ben Affleck and Liu Xiaoli also called to discuss something with him.
Before Aishwarya could finish her words, Link picked up the phone and called Liu Xiaoli to ask her what was the matter.
During working hours, girlfriends would not easily call to disturb him. This is a habit developed over a long period of time. Liu Xiaoli's sudden call meant that there was something important.
If Lewinsky was there, she would have definitely put Liu Xiaoli's matter first in the report. Aishwarya was a green hand and did not notice this.
After the call was connected, Liu Xiaoli said that everything was fine. Monica had just had a stomachache for a while, and everyone thought she was about to give birth, so they called to inform him. It was just a misunderstanding. After the doctor checked, he said there was no problem. Monica did too much prenatal yoga in the morning and had a miscarriage. She would be fine after resting for a while.
"I'm glad you're okay. I'll come to see you this weekend. Also, tell Monica not to exercise too much every day. It won't be too late to do it after the baby is born."
Link warned.
"I understand. I will keep an eye on her and make sure she doesn't get too cocky. Also, I read a lot of negative news about you in the newspaper recently, including the news that several of us are pregnant. Those media outlets are trying to make a fuss about this to hurt the box office of The Rock. You have to be careful."
"Sister Xiaoli, I understand. You should rest more when you are at home and don't think about work all day. I can handle the company's affairs. No one can take advantage of me."
"I see. I just read the newspaper and watch TV every day, and I don't care about work."
After the call, Link called Quentin and Ben Affleck back. Quentin told him that the post-production of "Kill Bill" had been completed and a preview would be held on Friday, and asked if he had time to come.
Link said he would try to go.
Ben Affleck asked him if he would direct the sequel to Batman, as he hopes to play Batman again.
Link replied that the matter had not been finalized and it was difficult to say for the time being, and he would be notified after it was finalized.
“Aishwarya, please give me a bottle of water.”
".Oh, okay, boss."
Aishwarya Rai was stunned for a few seconds before she reacted and took out a bottle of purified water from the refrigerator and handed it to him.
Link took a sip and continued to call Richard Fox back.
After the release of "Batman Forever" last summer, the box office performance was good. Warner Bros. Pictures began preparing for the sequel and found Link to continue directing.
Link offered a base salary of 10 million + 15% of the global box office, or 20% of the North American box office + 15% of the overseas box office.
Warner Bros. Pictures did not agree and hoped to discuss it further.
Link didn't have time to discuss it as he still had four film projects on hand. If Warner Bros. wasn't willing, he would find someone else.
The sequel was therefore delayed.
This time Richard Fox called and said he was willing to accept the offer of '10 million base salary + 15% global box office'.
But hopefully he can get the movie out before the end of the year, and Warner Bros. plans to release it during the summer of next year.
"Richard, this is impossible. After I finish filming 007, I am also preparing for my next movie. I will be filming a Disney movie at the end of the year. I will not have time to film other movies until March next year. If you want to ask me to film it, I can finish the sequel by the end of next year at the earliest."
While he was on the phone, his assistant Aishwarya sat opposite him with her knees together, motionless, occasionally looking up at him with a hint of curiosity in her reserved expression.
If Lewinsky were here at this time, she would definitely lean over to give him a massage, or take out a folder and take notes for him at any time, or squat on the ground to serve him when he needed it.
Aishwarya is new here and doesn’t know anything, so she needs more guidance.
"End of next year? That's too late, Link. Can you shoot the Batman sequel in advance? The box office revenue will be better if the two movies are released consecutively." Richard Fox asked.
Link shook his head and said no, "The next one is a Guess What movie, and at the end of the year we're going to be filming a Disney movie. Both of these movies are in the works, so there's no way we can squeeze them in."
"Okay, I'll talk to my colleagues at the company."
After the call ended, Link put away his phone and looked at the female assistant Aishwarya Rai who had become reserved again. He was a little curious about this female assistant.
Aishwarya is the new assistant Lewinsky selected for him before he left office. In addition to Aishwarya, there are two ordinary assistants. The three are responsible for his life, work, communications, crew and other matters respectively.
Aishwarya Rai is from India, 23 years old, 170 cm tall, 60 kg in weight, and has a big butt. She participated in the 44th Miss World beauty pageant held in South Africa in 1994 and won the championship.
She later became a model and actress, and was called 'India's No. 1 Beauty' by the international media.
I came to the United States at the beginning of the year to develop my career and filmed two shampoo commercials. In March, I saw the recruitment information of Guess Pictures and submitted a resume with a try-it attitude.
When she thought her job search had failed and was about to return to India, she received a call from the HR of Guess Pictures. After the interview, she was accepted. After more than two months of training, she became one of Link's temporary assistants and is currently on probation.
She had no experience as an assistant and didn't know how to serve her boss well, so she did a very rough job in this area.
If she hadn't been pretty, tall and plump, which made people more tolerant of her, it would have been difficult for her to pass the probation period.
"Aishwarya, I heard that you have been a model and an actor. How did you think of submitting your resume to Guess What?"
Link asked, crossing his legs and looking at the girl.
Aishwarya wore the most common black blazer skirt in the company, with a white lining, flesh-colored stockings and mid-heel shoes. Because of her delicate and three-dimensional facial features and round figure, this outfit really adds points to her.
Hearing his question, Aishwarya straightened her waist, and the curve of the white lining became more upright. "Boss, I heard that Guess the Movie Company pays well and the job is stable."
"That's true, so that's the main reason you applied for this job?"
Link laughed.
Aishwarya has big eyes and long eyelashes, which look like two small fans when she blinks. She hesitated for a few seconds and said,
“Not entirely. My career goal is to become a movie star. After coming to the United States, I see more opportunities, but I also know it’s not easy for a foreigner to gain a foothold in Hollywood.
I heard from my friends that Guess What Pictures is the most powerful entertainment company in Hollywood, with the most resources in the film industry. If I can become an employee of Guess What Pictures and be noticed by its producers or directors, it will be easier to get resources, so I want to give it a try. "
Link nodded slightly, understanding the other party's thoughts. Being an assistant was not her goal. Her goal was to obtain film and television resources by working at Guess Pictures and use these resources to become a film and television star.
She is not the only one who has this idea in Guess What Film Studio. Many beautiful girls and handsome guys are also trying to obtain resources using this method.
"You do have good external conditions."
Link looked her up and down and said, "If there is a role suitable for you in the company's movies, you can also try it."
"Boss, can I really do this?"
Aishwarya opened her eyes wide in surprise, her blue-green eyes sparkling.
"The premise is that you have to do your current job well first. If you can't stay, you naturally can't enjoy the company's resources."
"Boss, I understand. I will definitely do this job well."
Aishwarya smiled slightly, very sweetly.
Link smiled gently and continued to look through the information, occasionally asking about her family situation, relationship status, any difficulties she had in the United States, etc., in order to dispel the sense of unfamiliarity between the two sides.
Once two people become familiar with each other, working together will become easy and smooth.
