Across America, Starting with the Boxing Champion

 Chapter 492 Became the meat and potatoes

After the Oscars, the most watched news was not only Jennifer's surprise win, but also Jennifer's performance at the awards ceremony.

After winning the award, she hugged Link without scruples and made intimate gestures with him in front of the ABC television cameras in public. After taking the stage, she also threatened to thank Link for helping her KO all her opponents. , professing love to Link in a high-profile manner.

These actions are too bold and have no regard for gossip.

After the awards ceremony, mainstream media also criticized Jennifer's actions. Although her relationship with Link is not a secret in the entertainment industry, she is a public figure and should pay attention to her words and deeds in public.

Openly expressing love to a married man is not in line with the independent and self-loving qualities that modern women should have, and will have a bad impact.

Some media also criticized the relationship between Link and Jennifer, believing that Link is a world-class idol and should maintain a good public image after marriage and set a good example for fans.

Some media also criticized Link for spending a lot of money to help his lover compete for the Oscar trophy, and treating the supreme honor of the Oscar statuette as a means of flirting. This approach damages the image of the Academy Awards.

Some media have suggested to the Academy that in the future, when selecting Best Actor and Best Actress awards, they should pay attention to the reputation of the finalists to prevent some people from treating the Oscars as a way to pick up girls.

These public opinions overtly and covertly accuse Link of paying to favor women, which has affected the public image of Link and Jennifer Lawrence, as well as the interests of Lionsgate Pictures and Palm Bay Entertainment.

For this reason, Palm Beach Agency and Lionsgate Pictures each held press conferences to refute all the above remarks.

It is claimed that Link and Jennifer are good friends. They met on the set of "Midnight in Paris" and have maintained a good relationship since then. Later, under Link's introduction, Jennifer joined the Palm Bay agency and became a colleague.

Other than that, there is no messy relationship.

Ms. Mandy also emphasized that some media comments have affected the reputations of Jennifer and Link and caused a bad impact in society. The company hopes that these media will stop infringement. For unfriendly media, the company's legal department will use legal means Rights protection.

Lionsgate Cloud chief operating officer and spokesperson Goldsmith told the media:

Jennifer Lawrence is the heroine of the company's new film project "The Hunger Games" and helped Jennifer publicize the Academy Award for Actress. On the one hand, she performed very well in "Silver Linings" and has the ability to win the award. On the other hand, she promoted "The Hunger Games" 》 method, other than that, there are no personal reasons.

In addition, during the filming of "The Hunger Games", Jennifer Lawrence maintained a good personal relationship with the chairman and his wife. This was a normal social activity. Please refrain from excessive speculation.

For those media outlets that spread rumors and damage Lionsgate's public image, the company's legal department will pursue corresponding legal responsibilities.

After the press conference, the media hype about Link and Jennifer's relationship gradually diminished, as did the discussion about Jennifer's eligibility to win the Best Actress Oscar.

A lot of news about Jennifer Lawrence's enthusiasm for public welfare began to appear in the media, including the promotional pictures of Jennifer Lawrence's "Africa Tour", and her donation of US$200,000 to the American Red Cross to help children from poor families, and her donation of US$100,000 to Women's rights protection organizations, anti-domestic violence and other news.

Lionsgate Pictures has also begun promotional work before the release of "The Hunger Games". The film was produced at the end of last year and began promotional work in February. It is expected to be released in North America on March 23.

After the Academy Awards, Lionsgate can promote the film by featuring the latest work of Jennifer Lawrence, who won the Oscar for Best Actress. This will also have a positive effect on the promotion of the film.

When other film companies saw that after Lionsgate helped Jennifer win the Oscar, she immediately launched her new movie, the blockbuster "The Hunger Games" with an investment budget of up to 78 million US dollars, they had to lament that Link was very good at it. do business.

Help Jennifer win the award, not only pick up girls, but also promote her new movie. At the same time, "Silver Linings Playbook" released in December last year, the global box office soared by more than 30 million US dollars after the Oscars, and the global box office increased from 240 million in February. To 280 million, there is no doubt that Link has made a fortune again.

In addition, Jennifer bucked the trend and won the award, which also severely damaged the prestige of her rival Harvey Weinstein, making Link's influence in Hollywood even higher.

There are so many benefits, and Link's reputation as a "master tactician" has spread from the music world to the film industry.

But there are also many people waiting to see how Link and Lionsgate's blockbuster "The Hunger Games" fares at the box office.

If the results are too poor and the movie loses money at the box office, Link's previous plan will become an empty talk.

"Brother, how many female celebrities' phone numbers do you have on your phone?"

In the mountainside villa, Selena held a magazine and looked at him with big bright eyes.

"Why are you asking?"

Link is reading the script.

"I heard people say that you are now the most popular man in Hollywood. Female stars who want to win Oscars will throw themselves at you. I also heard people say that you have more than a hundred girlfriends now, right? real?"

"Of course it's fake. I'm not that sentimental."

Link shook his head.

Selena snorted, and said with a click of her lips: "I think it's true. You are so carefree, and there are so many women willing to devote themselves to you. Will you refuse?"

Link curled his lips, turned over the script and said: "Of course, the women I can accept are those who truly love me. Those women who come for my wallet, resources, reputation, and my body, I will not hesitate to accept." Refuse them hesitantly and don’t give them a chance to take advantage.”

"Taking advantage of you? You are so shameless."

Selena rolled her eyes cutely.

"It's not as thick as yours. Look at this little face. It's fat again."

Link stretched out his finger and poked her round face, which was rosy and full of collagen.

"Disgusting!" Selena kicked him. Feeling annoyed, she picked up a macadamia nut and threw it at him.

"Stop making trouble and let Link read the script."

Catherine sat down on the sofa with her little round face on her shoulders.

Selina snorted softly, swaying her calves and said, "Catherine, you used to say that Link would be more restrained after getting married and would no longer be carefree. Now that he is engaged and has several children, why is he still so carefree?"

"This has nothing to do with Link. He is so good that girls like him very much, but he is also soft-hearted and can't bear to reject girls who like him, so in your opinion, he is a bit of a playboy."

Catherine said while making black tea.

"How can you explain Huaxin like this?"

Selina looked at Catherine in shock, her big eyes trembling.

"Of course, if you don't believe me, ask Jennifer, Alexandra, and Emma Watson if they are willing to leave Link? From their relationship with Link, they need Link more. It’s not Link who needs them more.”

Catherine poured a cup of tea for Link and Selina.

Selina blinked her big eyes, wanting to refute what Catherine said, but she felt that Catherine was right. Link was so powerful, and there were countless women who wanted to fall on him and were willing to be his lovers, and Link He is picky about women, so many women have no chance of getting close to him.

The less you can get something, the more you want it. In this case, even if Link is a 'poison apple', there will be many women vying to eat it.

Regardless of whether it is poisonous or not, and whether you will die if you eat it, as long as you can defeat others, eating 'Poison Apple Link' is a victory.

"Link, you are so bad. All girls should stay away from you."

Selina said glaring at Link.

Link stretched out his hand to pinch her cheek, but Selina moved out of the way nimbly. When she saw Ivaca approaching, she ran over quickly and held Ivaca's arm diligently. However, she was too petite and could not stand next to Ivaca. Next to Ka, she looks like a little girl.

Link smiled softly and picked up a script called "August: Osage County".

Adapted from the play of the same name, it is a female-themed film.

It tells the story of the heroine who called her three daughters and her cousin and cousin-in-law to help after her husband passed away. The family started to quarrel at the dinner table after the funeral. Through this conflict, various hidden conflicts in the family were revealed. And the truths that were deliberately concealed are gradually revealed.

"This script is good. Meryl Streep can be cast as the female lead, and the role of the third daughter is given to Jennifer Lawrence. Let the two of them act on the same stage. There will definitely be a lot to watch."

Link laughed.

Catherine couldn't help laughing, "Are you serious? Meryl should be very hostile to us at this time and will not agree to cooperate with us, let alone star opposite Jennifer."

"Give it a try. The script is very good and the acting is good. Several characters have a chance to win Oscars. Maybe she will agree."

He remembered that the heroine of "August: Osage County" was Meryl Streep, and she was nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress for this role. If Meryl could put aside her prejudices and agree to participate, she would be in After the movie was released, Link didn't mind returning her an Oscar.

Moreover, Meryl cooperated with Lionsgate Pictures and acted on the same stage with Jennifer, which was also a good story.

"Okay, I'll go talk to Meryl myself. What do you think about the remaining scripts?"

Catherine asked.

"You decide the rest. Just make a small-budget movie and you won't lose much money."

Palm Beach Pictures has tentatively planned three projects this year. The first project is "The Hunt for Bin Laden" in collaboration with Megan Ellison's Annapurna Pictures. The film was approved in November last year and has now been completed. Enter the shooting period.

The second is "Bridesmaids" director Paul Feig's new work "Hot Cop", a comedy film starring Sandra Bullock and "Bridesmaids" supporting actress Melissa McCarthy, with a production cost of 43 million , a co-production with Lionsgate and Annapurna Pictures.

Casting has been completed and filming is about to begin.

Plus this "August: Osage County" brings three film projects.

With the financial flow of Palm Beach Pictures, we can make another low-budget movie worth 30 to 40 million yuan.

Just leave this to Catherine.

Catherine has been working in the film industry for more than three years and is now a mature producer who is trustworthy.

"Have you guys reached an agreement? It's time to eat."

Selena shouted.

"Here you go, little fat girl."

Link and Catherine got up and went to the restaurant for lunch.
