After receiving the prompt, Link took the film master back to the production studio and watched it several times.

After receiving the 15% increase, the quality of the film was significantly improved. The light, chroma, and sound became more coordinated, the shots had a very textured feel, and the actors' performances were more infectious.

Link took notes while watching the movie, not only looking for differences but also learning, striving to make fewer mistakes next time during filming, and being able to increase the completion to over 99% without the quality increase.

It's just that this kind of increase looks very advanced, like a higher dimension of technology, and it's not easy to learn in a short time.

After watching it, Link returned the film master to the production department and notified the distribution department to arrange the film's release. Now, 'Seven's Sin' has a market compliance of 75%, which is higher than the previous film. Releasing it early can earn more.

"Link, why does this movie look more refined than yesterday's?"

Daniel DeVito and the people from the production department found Link and asked after watching the new version of 'Seven's Sin'.

"I fine-tuned it again. Take a look again to see if there are any problems. If not, I'll change it again."

Link said, yawning.

"No, no, no need to change it. This movie is great. Changing it again would destroy the integrity of the movie. Now, in my heart, this is a perfect movie, very perfect."

Daniel DeVito adjusted his glasses, his big face flushed with excitement.

"Yes, the artistic level is not inferior to Spielberg's 'Schindler's List'. I suggest using this movie to compete for next year's Oscars. Maybe we can win a few big awards."

Producer James Schamus said.

Assistant director Paul Thomas Anderson and others nodded repeatedly. The level of this 'Seven's Sin' is indeed very high. During the internal screening before, he gave the movie 85 points, but now it's at least 90 points. Giving it full marks with a little leniency is not an exaggeration.

Paul Anderson admired Link in his heart. He joined Link's crew when filming 'Final Destination'. He originally thought that Link would only shoot commercial films like 'Paranormal Activity', 'The Blair Witch Project', and 'Final Destination'.

As an art-house director, he initially looked down on Link's movies and didn't really recognize Link's directing ability.

It was only during the filming of 'Final Destination' and 'Seven's Sin' that he witnessed Link's rigorous work style, superb camera movement ability, and his ability and techniques in editing films, which can be called ingenious.

What made him even more admire was that Link could handle both commercial and art-house films very well, making commercial films that everyone loved to watch and making art-house films that were profound, exquisite, and of extremely high artistic level.

This exceeded 99% of his peers in the film industry, and only a very few directors such as Spielberg could do this.

Paul Anderson decided to continue to stay with Link and learn the techniques of filming movies from him.

"Let's not worry about the Oscars for now. Continue to distribute according to the original plan. It's better if the Academy Awards are willing to give awards, but there's no need to force it. We will have more opportunities in the future."

Link waved his hand and said.

If 'Seven's Sin' is to compete for the Oscars, it is best to arrange it for release at the end of the year. At that time, the Oscar judges will be preparing to vote. Good movies released at that stage are more likely to be favored by the judges.

However, Link doesn't think that the Academy Awards will temporarily award the Best Director Award to him, a young 22-year-old Chinese new director, let alone that his reputation in the film industry is very bad, such as 'garbage film director' and disruptor of the film market order.

And the Oscar judges are mostly older filmmakers who prefer art-house films and are ideologically conservative.

It will be more difficult for Link to win the Oscar for Best Director than for the vast majority of directors in the industry.

Hearing him say this, Daniel DeVito and the others didn't persuade him anymore. It's just that after Link left, they gathered together again and watched 'Seven's Sin' twice, praising it endlessly.

Daniel DeVito suggested sending 'Seven's Sin' to the Cannes Film Festival to participate in the exhibition, first making a name for itself abroad, which can save a lot of publicity funds when it is released in the future.

Link didn't object.

After finishing the work of 'Seven's Sin', it was Saturday, and Link left work early and drove to the Rex Apartments.

"Boss Link, you're here."

"Link, long time no see, you look even more handsome."

"Hello, Mr. Link!"

Just as he arrived at the entrance of the apartment, the door opened from the inside, and Chen Chong and Wu Junmei, dressed in beautiful fashion and with exquisite makeup, stood at the door to greet him, their eyes full of eagerness.

Behind the two stood a beautiful girl, wearing a T-shirt and blue jeans, dressed very freshly, with a slightly old-fashioned appearance, but the oval face was very delicate. The girl was Yu Feihong, one of the heroines of 'The Joy Luck Club'.

Yu Feihong is 22 years old this year and graduated from the Beijing Film Academy. Last year, she was invited to play the role of Yingying in 'The Joy Luck Club'.

'The Joy Luck Club' was completed in July, released in Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan in October, and released in North America in December. Currently, the global box office has accumulated to 28.35 million US dollars, and the reputation and box office are good.

Yu Feihong also became popular because of this movie, and then prepared to study in the United States to learn Hollywood's film art and technology.

Link had seen her once in 'The Joy Luck Club' crew, and he was not unfamiliar with her.

"Miss Yu, which school are you preparing to study at?"

Link hung up his coat, sat down and asked.

"I have applied to six universities, and I am still waiting for a reply. I am not sure which school to study at."

Yu Feihong stood next to Wu Junmei, speaking softly and not daring to look at him much, appearing more nervous and shy.

Chen Chong put her arm around Yu Feihong's shoulder and smiled, "The USC School of Cinematic Arts is good. Directors Spielberg, George Lucas, and Ron Howard all graduated from USC."

No mistake, one first, one hair, one inside, one appearance, one is, one look!

Yu Feihong looked at Link, wrung her hands and said, "I also applied to USC, but the USC School of Cinematic Arts accepts a limited number of foreign exchange students each year, and it is generally difficult for people to pass the application."

Wu Junmei poured a cup of tea for Link, "It's the same wherever you go to school. Link has not studied at a film school and can still make so many good movies. His non-academic school is more capable than many film professional masters and doctors."

Link smiled and said, "Going to school is a very good thing. I didn't go to college at that time because I didn't have money and I didn't have the opportunity. If I had the conditions at that time, I would be happy to study in college for a few years before coming out as a director."

Chen Chong laughed, "Link, you are not too old now, only 22 years old, younger than many college students. It's not too late for you to go to college now."

"Where does Link need to go to college? With his level, it's more than enough to be a professor in the university's film department."

Wu Junmei praised.

Chen Chong quickly echoed.

"What are you talking about?"

Liu Xiaoli came out of the kitchen, wearing an LV white dress, with a blue apron around it, and a pearl necklace hanging on her fair swan neck. The whole person looked plump and jade-like, like a virtuous wife and good mother.

"Talking about Feihong going to school. Link said he also wants to go to college."

Chen Chong said.

Liu Xiaoli looked at Link and smiled, "He doesn't have time to go to school. There are a lot of things in the company waiting for him to deal with. If he wants to go to school, unless he closes the company first."

Wu Junmei joked, "Isn't there you? I heard that when Link is filming outside, you manage the affairs of Guess Pictures. Everyone says you are Link's capable helper."

"Don't talk nonsense. I am only responsible for public relations in the company. Other things are not under my control, and I can't manage them."

Liu Xiaoli said.

Chen Chong smiled, "There was a lot of news about Guess Pictures in the second half of last year. You can see it every day when you open the newspaper, and there is also news of you representing Guess Pictures answering reporters' questions. Xiaoli, you are becoming more and more like a strong woman now."

"It's all forced by Link. Originally, I just wanted to be an assistant, but he insisted on putting me in the public relations department."

Liu Xiaoli looked reluctant.

Link smiled and didn't refute Liu Xiaoli's words.

After chatting for a few sentences, Liu Xiaoli returned to the kitchen to cook. Chen Chong and Wu Junmei said they wanted to show Link their skills and rolled up their sleeves and went to the kitchen.

Link and Yu Feihong and Liu Qianqian watched TV and chatted outside.
