Hollywood Director 1992

"Director Link, look here!"

"Director Link, someone said that Robert Downey Jr. ran over Richard Gere because he was instructed by you. Do you acknowledge this statement?"

"Director Link, there's news that Michael Ovitz also participated in this bet and lost to you. Even Michael Ovitz is no match for you. Many people believe you are the most powerful person in Hollywood right now. What are your thoughts on this?"

January 21, 1994, the 51st Golden Globe Awards for American Film and Television were held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles.

Because Link's "Final Destination" and Monica's "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective" were very popular last year, they were both invited to attend the awards ceremony.

Link happened to have time, so he brought Monica over to take a look.

However, when walking the red carpet, the reporters outside the fence saw him coming and immediately became agitated, extending their microphones from behind the white railing and throwing out one highly topical question after another.

Link put his arm around Monica and posed for photos on the red carpet, originally not planning to answer the reporters' questions, but the reporters' questions became increasingly presumptuous.

Link stopped and waved his hand.

"Everyone, please be quiet! I can answer three of your questions, provided that you ask serious questions and ask questions based on facts. I don't have time to explain rumors that are hearsay, and I don't want to explain them."

"Director Link, I heard that your new movie has finished filming. When will this movie be released?"

A reporter from "The Hollywood Reporter" asked first.

"Around the summer档. The movie is still in production, and the specific release schedule will be announced after the production is completed."

"Director Link, on Wednesday I interviewed Mr. Robert Downey Jr. in prison. Mr. Downey told me that the reason he became like this is entirely because of you. If it weren't for betting with you, he wouldn't be bankrupt, and he wouldn't have run over Richard Gere. He said you are a very scary person. Do you acknowledge Mr. Downey's words?"

Elsie Simmons, a reporter from "The Los Angeles Times," asked.

"Is this Robert Downey Jr.'s original words? If it's true, it shows that he hasn't realized his own mistakes, is unwilling to take responsibility, and wants to transfer all the blame to others. It's ridiculous and sad."

Link spread his hands.

"Director Link, we have received definite news that Mr. Michael Ovitz, Chairman and CEO of CAA, also participated in your bet, betting more than $10 million. Later, the hype of "The Firm" box office and the suppression of "Final Destination"'s reputation were also personally led by Michael Ovitz.

In this bet, Michael Ovitz and others invested tens of millions and tried their best to win the bet, but still lost to you. After the bet ended, many people believed that the power you currently have in Hollywood has surpassed Michael Ovitz. Do you acknowledge this point?"

A reporter from "Entertainment Weekly" asked.

Link smiled and said, "The media evaluates Mr. Ovitz as the most powerful person in the entertainment industry, and I also agree with this. His power encompasses all industries in the entertainment industry, including film, music, fashion, sports, and so on.

And I am just a film director, what power do I have? Even if I have a little, it is far from being comparable to him. The reason he lost this time is probably because he underestimated the box office potential of "Final Destination" and didn't invest too much time in the bet. If he had invested more resources in the bet, no one in Hollywood could have won him."

"Director Link, "The News" reported that you have had affairs with dozens of actresses, including Nicole Kidman, Cindy Crawford, and Julia Roberts, and that your conflicts with Tom Cruise, Richard Gere, and others are also related to these scandals. Do you acknowledge this?"

A reporter from "The National Enquirer" asked.

"This is completely false news. I have been in Hollywood for two years and have made four movies. I spend almost every day in the crew and the company. Some of the ladies I am rumored to have affairs with, I have never even met, and it is impossible to have any interaction with them. Okay, three questions are over, goodbye everyone."

Link waved his hand and pulled Monica forward, no matter what the reporters behind asked, he would not answer any more questions.

Entering the Beverly Hilton Hotel awards ceremony venue, because they did not receive any nominations, their seats were relatively far back.

However, Link was relatively famous, and after he sat down, many crew members came over to say hello.

There were director Martin Scorsese and the two leading actresses Michelle Pfeiffer and Winona Ryder from the "The Age of Innocence" crew.

This movie was released in September last year and received four nominations, including Drama - Best Picture - Best Actress - Best Supporting Actress, and Best Director.

Martin Scorsese asked him how his new movie was filming, what genre it was, and hoped it wasn't a thriller. After watching "Final Destination," he canceled two flights and took the train instead.

Link said it was a religious-themed movie, persuading people to be kind.

Martin Scorsese nodded repeatedly, saying that this kind of movie was better.

Winona Ryder was not familiar with him and came over to chat with Monica, but her dark, bright eyes intentionally or unintentionally swept over Link.

Michelle Pfeiffer received a Best Actress nomination this year and was one of the focuses of the event. It was inconvenient to chat with so many people around, so she just shook hands reservedly and stroked his palm with her ring finger.

After director Martin and others left, Johnny Depp came over to chat with him. This year, his starring romance movie "Benny \u0026 Joon" was nominated for Drama - Best Actor, and it was also his second time receiving a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor nomination.

Although his career was relatively smooth, his personal life was a mess.

First was River's death.

The bar where River had the accident belonged to his property, and River and others went there for him. He also provided the illegal drugs in the bar.

After River's accident, the bar was investigated, and he was also implicated.

Keanu Reeves and others also harbored resentment towards him.

Secondly, he and Winona Ryder broke up.

Rumor has it that there was a third party involved, with Depp and Winona both cheating, and there were also reports that the reason for their breakup was that they were too busy, both busy on set, often not contacting each other for several months, and their relationship became weak.

Depp didn't say why they broke up, and Link didn't ask much.

Julianne Moore, the supporting actress from the "Benny \u0026 Joon" crew, also came over to say hello, saying that she really liked his movies and hoped to have the opportunity to collaborate.

Link talked about when he was a waiter at Burger King, he once got her coffee and received her five-dollar tip, thanking her, as he was very short of money at the time.

Everyone laughed as they listened.

Emma Thompson, the leading actress from the "The Remains of the Day" crew, also came over to say hello.

Last year, the script "Sense and Sensibility" written by Emma Thompson was favored by James Schamus and was prepared to be made into a movie, directed by Ang Lee.

After Link read it, he approved the movie project.

Emma Thompson also became a partner of Guess Who Films.

This woman is very lucky this year, with three movies nominated for the Golden Globe Awards.

"The Remains of the Day" received 5 nominations, including Best Actress, the starring "Much Ado About Nothing" received a Golden Globe Award nomination for Best Musical or Comedy, and "In the Name of the Father" received a Best Supporting Actress nomination.

She is currently the best British actress in Hollywood.

Emma Thompson also introduced the supporting actress from "Much Ado About Nothing", British actress Kate Beckinsale.

Keanu Reeves played the villain male number three in this movie and was also invited by the organizer, but he has been busy filming "Speed" recently and didn't have time to attend the Golden Globe Awards.

After Emma Thompson left, director Chen Kaige and supporting actress Gong Li from the "Farewell My Concubine" crew came over to say hello.

This movie was released in North America in October last year, distributed by Miramax Films, and currently has a box office of $5.9 million, setting a record for Chinese-language films in North America.

Although the box office results of "The Wedding Banquet" and "The Joy Luck Club" are higher than this movie, the dialogue of "Farewell My Concubine" is purely Chinese, and the story background is also in China. The dialogue of the latter two movies is mostly in English, and the story background is in the United States.

These two can only be considered Chinese movies, not Chinese-language movies.
