"Rumor has it that Link is good at guiding actors. Actors who have worked with him experience a great improvement in their acting skills. Now I completely believe it," Julianne Moore said softly by the sidelines.

"Yes, I couldn't act at all before. After working with him a few times, I am now a mature actress," Renée Zellweger said with a smile.

"What's wrong with your voice?" Julianne Moore asked, hearing that her voice was a little hoarse.

"The weather is too hot, and my throat is a little dry." Renée Zellweger's face was slightly red as she took a sip from her water bottle, letting the cool, pure water slowly soothe her burning throat.

"Renée, you're the actress who has worked with Link the most, right? Link is so good to you."

"Yes, he's very good." Renée Zellweger laughed heartily.

Link has directed six movies so far. She has played the lead actress twice and a supporting actress once. She also made a cameo appearance in 'Final Destination,' so she has worked with him four times. She has collaborated with Link more times than any other actor, including Monica and Jennifer Connelly.

Thinking of this, Renée Zellweger felt a little proud.

"Link is such a great man. Many women are eyeing him now, wanting to climb into his bed. Renée, you have to seize the opportunity to hold onto him and not let others steal him away," Julianne Moore said, leaning on Renée's shoulder with a smile.

"Link isn't mine. How can I hold onto him? But I'm not worried about others stealing him away. Although Link is a bit of a playboy, he's also a very good man, not like those playboys who fall in love with every girl they see."

"I can see that too. He's very good to the women around him." Julianne Moore looked at Link next to the camera. Link was directing the actors, looking serious and focused, and he seemed very charming.

Renée Zellweger also looked at Link and suddenly noticed that Jennifer Lopez, who played the female college student, was still on the sidelines. She had long brown-black hair, wheat-colored skin, and a curvy figure. She was a very hot Latina beauty.

She waved at Lopez.

Jennifer Lopez hurried over and greeted her and Julianne Moore in a low voice. Renée Zellweger and Julianne Moore were big stars in the crew, and she was a newcomer actress who couldn't afford to offend them.

Renée Zellweger asked her which agency she was with and how she got into the crew.

Jennifer Lopez mentioned a small agency that Renée Zellweger had never heard of. She entered the crew through casting. This movie needed a Latina beauty with an outstanding appearance, and her image fit the role very well.

Renée Zellweger asked her if she would like to switch agencies and said she could refer her to UTA.

Jennifer Lopez immediately said she would. Although UTA had been established for less than two years, it was developing extremely rapidly and was now among the top five agencies in the industry, much stronger than her original agency.

Renée Zellweger took Lopez's phone number and said she would contact her after returning to Los Angeles.

Lopez happily left.

"Renée, why did you invite her to join UTA?"

"Secret!" Renée Zellweger said with a smile.

"Don't keep it a secret, tell me quickly." Julianne Moore looked at her and reached out to tickle her waist.

Renée Zellweger covered her mouth and smiled, leaning on Julianne's shoulder, and said she wanted to introduce Lopez to Link, as she thought Link would like this sexy girl.

"Introduce her to Link? Are you crazy?" Julianne Moore looked at her in confusion.

Renée Zellweger shrugged, leaned close to Julianne's ear, and whispered, gesturing the length with her fingers. Julianne Moore's face flushed as she listened, and her eyes couldn't help but look towards Link.

"Cut!"

"That's a wrap for this scene."

The scenes of the main character in the dormitory were relatively numerous and took four days to shoot.

Link then led the crew to shoot the campus scenes at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver.

There were also many campus scenes, including the male lead attending classes, participating in fraternity activities, the male lead dating Kelly on campus after the second time travel, and 'Little Devil' Tommy becoming a good student after the third time travel, Kelly and Little Fatty Lenny becoming a couple, etc.

This part of the plot has more than eighty scenes and is expected to take seven or eight days to complete.

If it rains in Vancouver, it will take even longer.

During the filming, Monica, Jennifer Connelly, Liu Xiao Li, and others would sometimes fly over to visit the set, chat about work and life, and enjoy the pleasure of love.

Zero mistakes, one song, one shot, one inside, one appearance, one look!

Adding Renée Zellweger and the newly joined Julianne Moore, even on rainy days, it wouldn't be too lonely and boring.

During the filming in Vancouver, Link also paid attention to the new movie box office and the major news events in Hollywood.

'Dumb and Dumber' broke $100 million at the North American box office in its seventh week, reaching a cumulative total of $103 million. 'Total Film' magazine estimates that the film's box office will exceed $120 million, making it the first film to break $100 million in North America this year.

The overseas box office results are also good. In the four weeks since its release, it has grossed $52.31 million in 38 countries and regions. The overseas box office is also expected to exceed $100 million.

This movie is also the first movie independently distributed overseas by Guessing Game Pictures, and the box office share can also be higher.

The box office success of 'Dumb and Dumber' made many filmmakers jealous, so many negative news about him broke out in the media again.

The famous producer Fred Olin said in an interview with the media that Hollywood movies will soon be over because the current blockbuster movies are all gimmick films that rely on publicity and hype, such as 'Paranormal Activity' and 'The Blair Witch Project,' as well as vulgar comedies without bottom lines and logic, such as 'Ace Ventura' and 'Dumb and Dumber.'

The success of these movies will encourage more filmmakers and film companies to produce similar movies, rather than classic art films such as 'Citizen Kane,' 'Gone with the Wind,' and 'Schindler's List.' This is a very bad thing and should be taken seriously.

Fred Olin's words were recognized by many filmmakers. Some people once again proposed the saying that bad money drives out good.

It's just that most of the people who publicly criticize Link are not very famous, and those who are famous dare not stand up again. They are also worried that what happened to Robert Downey Jr., Richard Gere, and others will happen to them.

Some people also stood up to refute Fred Olin's argument.

The famous film critic Will Rogers wrote that since the birth of film, people have been worried that film will disappear every year, from the silent film era to the sound film era, from black and white to color films. All the filmmakers who are worried about being eliminated are badmouthing the film industry, but the film industry is getting bigger and bigger and will not decline due to a little setback.

Will Rogers believes that even if the Hollywood film industry declines in the future, it will not be caused by the movies that the audience likes, but because the audience no longer supports the movies, just like the current audience abandoning silent films and black and white movies.

Therefore, the success of innovative films such as 'Paranormal Activity' and 'Dumb and Dumber' is a symbol of the prosperity of the film market. It also shows that audiences prefer to watch new era movies rather than old-fashioned movies that have been eliminated by the market.

Will Rogers believes that the film industry should learn the innovative thinking of Link and Guessing Game Pictures and make more colorful movies. Fred Olin and others calling the success of this type of movie a symbol of the decline of the film industry is a backward language and thought.

In the seventh week of 'Dumb and Dumber's' release, 'Pulp Fiction' was in its ninth week, with a cumulative box office of $62.84 million. It was growing at a rate of one to two million per week in more than 400 theaters, with a small drop.

According to this trend, it will not be possible to break $100 million until the end of the year.

This result is not bad, but Quentin's resentment can be felt by Link even in Vancouver, two thousand kilometers away.

Originally, Quentin estimated that the North American box office of 'Pulp Fiction' would be more than 300 million US dollars, but the reality is that it would take a year to break 100 million US dollars, which is too big a gap.

Quentin also truly felt that breaking 100 million US dollars at the box office is a very difficult thing, but for Link, it seems very simple.

This also led to Quentin's resentment doubling. Every time he called, he would be sarcastic, as if a lemon tree was growing in his mouth, and the taste could be smelled even two thousand kilometers away.
