Hollywood Director 1992

"Link's new movie has started filming. I heard it's a blockbuster with a budget of tens of millions. I bet his movie will lose money. Michelle, do you want to join?"

Richard Gere asked with a smile.

Michelle Pfeiffer blinked and smiled, "My agent said that Jay Moloney is trying to reconcile you with Link. Did it not succeed?"

"Hmph, Hollywood is our territory. Why should we reconcile with a yellow-skinned kid? He doesn't have that much influence."

"That's right. That bastard even said we should apologize to him. Haha, he's just a rookie director. Does he deserve an apology from us big stars? Absolutely not."

"If he wants to reconcile with us, he should take the initiative to apologize. If we're in a good mood, we might consider forgiving him."

"Hehe, his girl is not bad. Her face and figure are my type. If I can ruin him, I'll definitely snatch his girl in person."

Richard Gere, Robert Downey Jr., and the others were all filled with anger when they talked about Link.

Michelle Pfeiffer frowned slightly. After chatting with Link, she suddenly felt that Richard Gere and his group were very crude. They seemed uncultured and unrefined, yet they acted cool, which was annoying.

She maintained a smile, "Link offended you guys, which he shouldn't have, but he's a billionaire now, with a net worth of four to five hundred million dollars. He's also a globally renowned writer and director, and he owns a film company that's developing very well. It'll be difficult to deal with him."

"Hmph, Forbes magazine must have overestimated him. He doesn't have that much money, at most a hundred million dollars."

"Even if he has a few hundred million, so what? Guess Pictures' movies sold well, causing the box office revenue of the Big Seven studios to fall below expectations. Now the Big Seven officially regard him as an opponent and are preparing to suppress him. His days ahead won't be easy."

"That's right. When he first became famous, CAA wanted to sign him, but he refused and even antagonized us. CAA won't let him go either. This time, during the audition for his new movie, CAA only released a little news, and many star actors actively withdrew from his movie audition, causing him to fail to select suitable actors."

"Compared to CAA, a behemoth worth billions of dollars, what is a few hundred million dollars worth?"

Robert Downey Jr. said.

Dustin Hoffman and the others nodded in agreement. Having been in the entertainment industry for so long, they had seen many billionaires and even people from the Rothschild and Rockefeller families. They wouldn't take an unestablished billionaire to heart.

"Alright, let's not talk about Link."

Richard Gere waved his hand and looked at Michelle Pfeiffer with a smile, "Michelle, do you want to bet with me that Link's movie will lose money?"

Michelle Pfeiffer flipped her hair, "Link's first three movies were all blockbusters. The total global box office of the three movies is nearly 1 billion dollars. This achievement exceeds 99% of the movie directors in the industry. His movie should be difficult to lose money, right?"

Dustin Hoffman shook his head, "Michelle, you think too highly of him. He hasn't filmed a big production before. After filming a few low-budget movies, he suddenly filmed a big production worth tens of millions of dollars. That's too rash."

"Yes, many directors do well when directing low-budget movies, but once they direct big projects, they suffer losses. The probability of Link's movie losing money is extremely high."

"Also, that Link is too confident. He didn't invite acting powerhouses to support a big project worth more than ten million dollars, nor did he have any popular stars joining. How can this kind of movie be a blockbuster? Continue to hype it up?"

"I remember he said in a TV interview that he wouldn't use hype to promote his next movie. If he doesn't hype it up, who will watch his movie?"

"That's right. We didn't know he was the director when 'The Blair Witch Project' was released, so he took advantage of it. This time, with the media watching, if he dares to play this kind of trick again, it's equivalent to losing credibility. The media and the public will severely despise him, making it impossible for him to gain a foothold in the entertainment industry."

Dustin Hoffman said excitedly.

"So we have to keep an eye on him and prevent him from taking advantage of loopholes again. As long as he no longer uses hype to promote his movies, his movie will be like losing an arm. Let's see how he makes money."

Richard Gere sneered.

"Speaking of which, that Link is really stupid. Relying on hype to market movies is his special skill. Just because the media criticized him a few times, he vowed to give up his special skill and not use the most effective method to make money. This guy is really too stupid."

"Haha, we also contributed to this. We were the ones who arranged for the media to criticize him for using hype to market garbage movies, causing bad money to drive out good money. Link felt the pressure and made this guarantee."

"Haha, this shows that our method is effective."

At the height of their excitement, they raised their glasses to celebrate and laughed loudly.

Michelle Pfeiffer didn't interrupt, listening with a smile to how they would jointly deal with Link.

Hearing that several big stars were joining forces to deal with Link, but they didn't have any good ideas, and they even said that Link voluntarily giving up using hype to promote his movies was their contribution.

She just found it very funny, and she also felt that the man who had conquered her was very powerful, not only physically, but his ability in his career surpassed many people.

"Michelle, do you want to bet?"

Richard Gere looked at her with a smile.

"Okay, I bet that bastard's next movie will definitely lose money."

Michelle Pfeiffer said with a娇 smile.

Richard Gere and the others laughed loudly, "Michelle, that won't do. If you bet like this, we can't place our bets."

"Alright, then I can only bet that Link's next movie will be a hit. If I lose, I'll treat you to drinks."

Michelle Pfeiffer said aggrievedly.

"Michelle, how about you treat me to a drink alone if you lose? And I'll treat you to a drink alone if I lose."

Richard Gere smiled very gentlemanly.

"Haha, Richard, so you're also interested in Michelle. If Michelle loses, you'll need to compete with Dustin to be the first to go on a date with Michelle."

Robert Downey Jr. winked and smiled.

"I'm happy to compete with Richard. I guarantee I can win."

Dustin Hoffman patted his chest and said.

Michelle Pfeiffer felt uncomfortable hearing their conversation. She barely managed to sit for a while, suppressing the urge to throw her wine glass at their faces.

When director Mike Nichols and Best Actor Jack Nicholson came in, she got up to say goodbye and went to a nearby table to discuss work.

Richard Gere, Robert Downey Jr., and the others were old acquaintances with Jack Nicholson. Seeing them come in, they also went over to say hello.

Soon, the men in the booth were toasting, smoking, drinking, and talking about women, and they didn't have time to talk about work at all.

Michelle couldn't stand the smoke in the booth. She drank a glass of beer and left, using the excuse that she had something to do.

After leaving the bar, Michelle Pfeiffer got into her car and took out her phone to call Link, who was far away in New York.

After the call was connected, Link's magnetic voice came from the microphone.

"Michelle, what's the matter?"

"I miss you, is that okay?"

Michelle Pfeiffer leaned back in her seat, a smile unconsciously appearing on her lips. She felt that talking to Link was more interesting than talking to her boyfriend.

"Haha, where do you miss me, in your mouth or in your heart?"

"My whole body misses you."

"Don't seduce me. I'm filming in New York, and I don't have time to satisfy you in Los Angeles."

"Has the movie started filming? Is it going smoothly?"

"It's okay, but the weather in New York is more complicated than I expected. It rained as soon as I got here, and it only officially started filming yesterday when the weather cleared up."

"It's good that the weather cleared up. Many people in the industry are not optimistic about your new movie. They think this movie will definitely lose money. Are you confident?"

"It doesn't matter. No one has ever been optimistic about my movies, but the box office has always been good. I'm also confident in this movie."

"Yes, you've always been great."

Michelle Pfeiffer held the phone, her voice becoming娇 and soft, "I'm coming to New York next week to attend an event. I have half a day free. Can I come see you?"

"Yes, tell me in advance, and I'll make time for you."

"Okay! I can't wait to fly to your side."

Michelle Pfeiffer kissed the phone a few times before hanging up.
