Chapter 149 Filming

“Link, your performance just now was great, the program must be very effective.”

 After leaving the ABC TV building, Ms Mandy praised.

 “I hope you’re right.”

Link exhaled and sat in the car.

After the ABC interview, there will be CBS Tonight Show, NBC's "Saturday Night Live", TBS's "Conan Show", "The Jamie Show" and so on. It is not a small task to deal with various types of hosts. challenges.

Link suddenly discovered that being a celebrity is not an easy task. If public figures want to gain sufficient exposure, they need to deal with the media more. The media is a double-edged sword. When one's own advantages are exposed, shortcomings will also be exposed. , and magnified exponentially.

　Sometimes if you accidentally say the wrong thing, your personal reputation and career prospects will be affected.

This situation is similar to walking on a tightrope, it is best not to make any mistakes.

"Theview" will be broadcast at noon on Saturday. Before the broadcast, ABC TV station promoted in advance that the invited guest for this episode is Link Baker, a figure who has been controversial recently.

Because Link is famous enough, this program is also quite popular.

 After the program was broadcast, the average viewership ranged from 14 million to 18 million users, reaching a maximum of 17.88 million, setting theview's highest viewership record in 2009.

The program's effect is indeed good. With his handsome and healthy image and good conversational skills, Link has gained a large number of female fans, who consider him the best date of the year and the public's lover.

Evaca also called to tease him, saying that when she went to a party, many rich and famous ladies came to her to ask for his contact information and wanted to go on a date with him, and asked him if he wanted to get acquainted.

Link is naturally not interested. When it comes to wealthy families, Ivaca and Taylor are the most wealthy families. One is born and the other is acquired.

 With these two beauties from wealthy families around, he was not very interested in other wealthy ladies.

 In addition to the good aspects, this program also has some negative effects.

 Some online media, in order to gain traffic, intercepted certain sentences from Link’s interviews and published some news that could easily cause controversy.

For example, 'Link said that violent tendencies are a rare quality', 'Link was a guest on the show and boasted about his sexual abilities, claiming to be one of the most powerful men in the world', 'Link mentioned Kan in the show. Yeah, it seems that he is dissatisfied with Kanye for not apologizing'.

With the hype of these topics, Link's name stayed in the media for another half month, and the album sold tens of thousands more copies.

In March, Link was busy in Los Angeles for a whole month, doing interviews, filming commercials, and music videos. In the meantime, he also went back to Miami to participate in Lady Gaga's tour concert at the Hard Rock Stadium.

 There were 68,000 spectators at that concert, and it was the first time that Link sang in front of so many people.

When he sang "Despacito" and "Unstoppable" on the stage, tens of thousands of people in the audience waved and sang together. The scene was very shocking, completely different from the shouts of a boxing match.

 Fortunately, he performed well and after the concert, his performance was praised by many media.

 Fans also rushed to his Twitter to leave messages, urging him to start a tour early, otherwise he would have to go to other people's concerts every time he performed.

 After a busy March, Link ushered in an even busier April on the "Fighter" crew.

  —

 “Lin Klink, have you seen the news? I entered the finals.”

On the crew of "The Fighter", during a break in filming, Link received a call from Mario, telling him in a very excited tone that he had successfully entered the finals of the United States Amateur Championships.

The National Amateur Boxing Championship is one of the three major amateur boxing events in the United States. It is organized by the American Amateur Boxing Association. Every year in March and April, contestants are recommended by the state amateur boxing associations. Each region has three quotas for each level, and then goes to the championship. Participate locally.

 The first round of knockout, the second round of qualifying, the third round of finals, and the finals are divided into 1/8, 1/4, and 2/1.

With Mario’s level, it’s not bad to be among the top eight in the cruiserweight division.

"Link, we have another champion in our boxing gym. Do you want to come over and watch my match? My performance is definitely not worse than yours."

 Mario shouted slightly proudly.

Link raised his eyebrows. This guy still had that kind of temper, and couldn't help but raise his tail after even a slight achievement.

"Really? What's your KO rate?" "This amateur competition mainly depends on technique, and KO rate is not important."

 Mario said hesitantly.

 “Well, if you can reach the semi-finals, I will come to watch your game.”

 “Okay, wait and see, the cruiserweight champion of this tournament must be mine.”

 Mario shouted confidently.

Link smiled, hung up the phone, and called Coach West again.

 Asked about the results of Reggie and other boxers.

This year the West Boxing Gym is more lively than last year. There are more than 20 adult boxers, a large group of boxing apprentices, and more than ten boxing coaches and assistant coaches. It has become a large boxing club.

Coach West told him that Reggie competed in the super welterweight competition and also reached the third round finals.

Reggie has not lost a single game in this competition. He is ranked among the top three in the super welterweight class and has a chance to compete for the championship.

 Mario lost one game in the second round and is temporarily ranked eighth, with a chance to break into the top five.

However, it is good news that both of them can enter the finals.

 “Link, start shooting.”

 Assistant Anna came over and reminded.

Link nodded, handed the phone to Anna, walked into the set and started performing.

In the movie "The Fighter", the character Mickey Ward he played was a second-rate boxer in the early stage. Later, with the help of his girlfriend, brother, and family, he became the champion of a small boxing organization.

The story is not very inspiring, at least not as inspiring as Link's story, but the main selling points of this movie are brotherhood, family and career.

 Today's shooting of Act 6, 34 scenes and 3 shots of "The Fighter".

 “Action!”

In a busy bar, Link was wearing a dirty cotton T-shirt and stared blankly at the girl who was busy at the counter. It was the heroine Karin played by Amy Adams.

 Amy Adams is wearing a red suspender belt, cold white skin, long blond curly hair, denim hot pants, plump and round buttocks, and is skillfully adjusting cocktails on the counter. Her appearance is very sexy.

“Are you going to stand there and stare at my ass?”

 Amy Adams asked without looking back.

This is the scene where the hero and heroine meet for the first time. When Link heard her words, he scratched his head and looked back at the coach Mike and his brother Dick in the booth.

 “Go and be brave!”

 Coach Mike encouraged.

Link took another step forward, but still didn't have the courage to speak.

“Your dad often stares at my butt, too, but he talks to me.”

 Amy Adams dealt with a few drunkards, turned to look at him and said.

 “He, he said you were the hottest girl here.”

Link approached the counter and lowered his head slightly.
